Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed

"What should we do now? Since we’ve already made a move, we can’t just quit halfway and watch ’Honor of Kings’ steal all our users... Old You, you’ve worked with Li Yuan, what’s your take on this?"

You Wenxuan furrowed his brow, reflecting on his experiences working with Li Yuan, then looked at several senior company executives present and proposed:

"I believe it’s meaningless to continue targeting him, Li Yuan may be young, but from my interactions with him, he’s not easy to deal with and has a mind of his own, a true genius."

"Dealing with a genius, winning or losing, it’s never ideal, and if we inadvertently turn him into a significant adversary, it would be troubling in the future."

"Moreover, our ’Battle Starry Sky’ game is under development, so we still need to cooperate with him; it’s not suitable to let the relationship become too strained."

The company’s chief executive furrowed his brow, seemingly pondering You Wenxuan’s words.

"Old Zhang, did you guys orchestrate all these negative news?"

"I initially instructed you to just probe the situation, how did it escalate to this scale of nationwide attention and discussion?"

Old Zhang, head of the game strategy department, listened to the chief executive’s words and seemed displeased, hurriedly explaining.

"Director Qin, as far as I know, besides our company, Shengda and Tengxun also made a move; they’re more anxious than we are. We have our foundational user base, though ’Honor of Kings’ is aggressive, its impact on us isn’t significant, but it’s different for them..."

Director Qin nodded, frowning: "The online discourse is escalating, Li Yuan’s fans are attacking us like maniacs, which poses a significant threat to our brand image."

"Old Zhang, arrange to redirect the trouble, target Tengxun. They’re big enough to bear the brunt of Li Yuan’s fanbase attacks..."

Old Zhang’s eyes lit up, his mind spinning fast, quickly realizing that this is a good solution to the problem.

"Director Qin, rest assured, I’ll arrange it right away!"

...

Time flew by, and it was soon the 29th.

From the first day of New Year to the fourth, after three days of fermentation and the push from several behind-the-scenes players.

Online, the discussion about ’Honor of Kings’ quickly reached a peak...

With the influx of online bots and a massive amount of fan support, almost all the negative news became counterattack statements.

The fanbase, already forming initial "fandom culture," showed undeniable offensive and combative prowess, which even made Li Yuan somewhat scared and felt incredible.

Sometimes, he didn’t understand why those "fan groups" exist, but when being the beneficiary of the "fan groups," it was truly satisfying.

No need for personal involvement, just a bit of behind-the-scenes guidance, and a huge number of loyal fans would storm the front lines, cheering on.

Among these fans, females made up the majority, and their fighting spirit was unparalleled.

...

Xinghe Bay’s single-family villa,

Early morning, Li Yuan had just played a late-night friendly match with Zhong Tingyue, drank milk and soybean milk, ate steamed buns and churros,

when he was awakened by a call from Tan Zhonghua.

"Boss, we’ve found out, the companies targeting us this time are mainly three: Tengxun, Wangyi, and Shengda. Now Wangyi and Shengda have backed out, only Tengxun is still at it..."

"Boss, what should we do now?"

Although mentally prepared, Li Yuan frowned upon hearing the exact news.

Tengxun, they’re not easy to deal with!
