Chapter 152: Chapter 152 – Ad Offer [1]
Sitting behind a transpart desk made tirely from glass, Mr. Taka couldn\'t help but sigh.
"This is troublesome."
Many hologram scres floated a the desk. Each of them contained either an important documt or schedule that he needed to attd.
After becoming a manager, the term rest seemed to be xistt. Work pilled up indefinitely. And wh he finished one, two new ones would arrive.
Usually, it was only paperwork from the Team Leaders under him that he just needed to sign to make the documt official. But sometimes, there was also a matter where he needed to approve an evt and dorse brand offers.
The marketing team wasn\'t only responsible for marketing the games Biozone Entertainmt released but also the affiliate streamers under them. The work was similar to a streamer agcy but was a bit simpler because they only became a middleman betwe the sponsor and streamers.
Due to the nature of the contract, where streamers and Biozone supported each other, it made it impossible for Biozone to \'force\' the streamer to accept the ad offers from the sponsor.
Of course, if it was important ough, they could press the streamer to accept it. However, that had never happed before because they knew how important a relationship with a great streamer was.
If something came out from the streamer\'s mouth, it was bound to spread everywhere. So, they were always careful wh dealing with them.
That now had turned into a problem for Mr. Taka. His head was aching. No matter how he thought about it, it was just hard.
"Who should I offer this to?"
Sometimes, an ad offer only had the streamer show the sponsor product in their stream or mtion it once or twice. However, there was also usually a sponsor who asked for a streamer to do a \'job\' for them.
And the problem he faced right now was this. An ad offer came from a big brand. The sponsor asked Biozone Entertainmt to introduce a streamer who could film their product in real life.
Usually, it wouldn\'t be a big problem. Shooting a product was pretty easy. The streamer just needed to have a little bit of experice in acting. Usually, it only ded with them saying a few words and having a photoshoot with the product in hand.
However…
"A short video? Who could do this? And the requiremt is a bit..."
Looking at the offer in front of him, he let out a long, tired sigh. The requiremt writt on the offer from the sponsor was the problem.
Firstly, the sponsor asked for a streamer with a handsome appearance and good body proportions. The product that would be advertised was a set of running shoes.
More than half of the streamers affiliated with Biozone could be discarded from the male requiremt alone. And with the term handsome coming along, only four people fit the requiremt.
"Flexy, StoneSword, HolyDad, and Breeze… The first three are still busy with their ads for a week. That left with Breeze. But…"
Mr. Taka didn\'t know whether he would accept it or could do it. No, that wasn\'t the problem here. The problem lay in the sponsor.
\'Would they mind if we sd a newbie? They are one of our most important clits for our affiliated streamers.\'
Letting out another sigh, he decided to look at how Breeze was doing. Because he followed all the streamers affiliated with Biozone, he knew the young man was streaming.
On the scre, he saw a familiar game that he promoted back wh he had just started as a team leader, Midnight Heist. A wave of nostalgia hit him, thinking back at how hard it was to start at that time, just like now.
And th, he watched Breeze move through the building easily, catching the thief who held a large painting easily. The police had no ability to run faster or jump high. But ev with that disadvantage, he was still able to catch him.
At that sight, Mr. Taka smiled. He closed the stream and looked at Breeze\'s Punchtube channel, which he heard became active lately.
The video pinned on the top of the channel was parkour footage. It played automatically for someone who hadn\'t yet subscribed to the channel. Wh the marketing team Manager saw the snippet of the first seconds, which showed Breeze\'s feet moving through obstacles, he slammed the table hard.
Bam!
"This is it! This will work!"
With that, he began to work.

[Escape failed!]
[The MVP of this match: FishSauce]
[…]
[800 Dinar has be received.]
— Damn! Another win?!
— How many is it?
— 7 Wins in a row! 5 hours have already passed since he started. He\'s gott used to it now!
— Holy Moly!
— Naaah, this is strange. How can he run faster than the thieves?!
— Thieves: Hold on, I am faster! Breeze: Heh, but I am faster!
— No ability can beat a natural talt lol. No matter how much ability the thief used, Breeze still caught them!
[Ggegujan has donated 500 diamonds!]
[Another win! Aim for consecutive wins!]
[Ttaebokkiii has donated 50 diamonds!]
[Nothing stops Breeze wh he becomes a storm!]
"Thank you for the donations, Ggegujan and Ttaebokkiii. My aim isn\'t consecutive wins but winning every matchmaking. Hahaha. Imagine my team trolling after I say this, and th I lose. I would be really mad at that time."
That wouldn\'t be funny, he added in his mind. Having met a troll once was ough.
His condition was pretty good today. Was it due to the fact he had just drank a C-Grade nutritional supplemt yesterday? But he wasn\'t as exhausted as usual.
\'I can probably do one more game before resting. Th, I will continue tonight and finish my placemt matches.\' He thought as he leaned against the chair. His hand moved to press the matchmaking, but he stopped midway wh he heard a bell.
Ding!
"Oh?" He slightly raised his voice in surprise.
— What happed?
— Did he just receive a message on stream? Why didn\'t he put the notification off?
— He suddly froze lol
— Nah, he\'s froz
— Same stuff, dude. And it\'s stopping movemt!
There was a new message. And it wasn\'t a usual one from his frid either.
In the messaging application, he could set a few importance of a person with a section. Flexy, Nina, Lily, and Stonesword were put in a frid section. BloodSucker was put in the \'not important\' section.
Neither section would give him a notification wh he was inside the game. Th, there was an \'important\' section that would notify him no matter what he did. And there was only one person in that section.
\'It\'s from Mr. Taka. Does he need something from me?\'
Curious, he wanted to read the message as soon as possible. He was indebted to the team leader, now manager, for giving him a big opportunity. So, if the other party needed him for something, he would try to help. But he probably shouldn\'t op the message while streaming.
"Sorry. I will change the scre for a while, guys. This is an important message." He said before changing the scre to his loading scre and muting his microphone.
The message was pretty simple but made his heart palpitate.
[Mr. Taka: My apologies for bothering your stream. But may we meet up right now? There is an urgt thing we should talk about.]
"… Urgt?"
That word usually brought bad news.
