Chapter 310: Demons dancing wildly, Fujiko's big hand
The atmosphere became completely silent. The eyes of Fanhua and the other two were cold, with a hint of anger and murderous intent, and they were focused on the brainless reporter.

However, the reporter himself still had no self-awareness at this time, and there was even a hint of smugness on his calm face.

There is a sense of arrogance that "the more they oppose, the more it proves that we are right."

E-Sports Home has been having a great time recently.

After changing their thinking and style, they ushered in the second spring of their newspaper career.

In the past, E-Sports Home, as one of the most influential e-sports print media, has always adhered to a stable and major newspaper style.

Anyway, since I am the only one with such influence in the field of e-sports media, there is no need for me to lower myself to become a paparazzi seeking popularity.

But times have changed. In the era of mobile Internet, these e-sports print media have basically become a joke.

The strength, timeliness and influence of communication have all been shrouded by online marketing accounts with hundreds of thousands of fans.

The e-sports home that has lost its glory has naturally lost its former spirit.

After Honor was suspended for the first time, the editor-in-chief of E-Sports Home, who lost his last job security, was so embarrassed that he came to Feng Xianjun on behalf of a group of e-sports newspapers to surrender. Feng Xianjun showed leniency and gave them a chance to eat.

This was the correct choice. After all, those who did not follow them, such as Esports Times, had long since ceased publication.

Their "messenger of justice" Ruan Cheng, who once wanted to step on Tang Rou to become famous, was discovered by his colleagues who were bored to death guarding the gate of a company.

But to say that e-sports fans are living a comfortable life because of this is not true at all.

Tencent doesn’t pay any attention to them at all, and they can’t get much exclusive news that is more attractive than other marketing accounts.

Although you can still make a living by repeating what others say and following the crowd, your glory is not as good as it used to be.

Over time, the leading e-sports media, which was once so ambitious as to establish press stations in multiple cities, gradually shrank and became unpopular.

For example, Chang Xian, a well-known LOL blogger with wide influence today, was once an intern reporter for Esports Home according to gossip.

Faced with the issue of life and death, the few remaining young editors of E-Sports Home made a decision and decided to lose face.

Having gotten to this point, why should he still be reserved? He just turns into a standard marketing paparazzi, doing all the explosive stuff. Isn't that great?

So, after the summer season started, the style of E-Sports Home changed completely.

Their questions started to become sharp and speculative. They asked about anything that was hotly debated, without any reservations.

In the eyes of these people who come from traditional journalism backgrounds and have extremely conservative ideas, they were allowed in with the approval of Feng Xianjun himself, so they are considered Feng Xianjun's people.

With such a high status, can't you do whatever you want... No, that's not right, is it the pursuit of press freedom?
Long live freedom!

With confidence and without fear, Tencent Esports has been focusing its main attention on how to hold a funeral for Honor.

This really allowed E-Sports Home to have a comfortable time.

Seeing that the media traffic is getting better day by day thanks to eye-catching reports, the reporters of E-Sports Home firmly believe that they are on a smooth road.

At this moment, the reporter from E-Sports Home who had just asked the question felt secretly happy when he saw the ugly expressions of the people in Fanhua.

Is it uncomfortable? It’s right to be uncomfortable!
I just like the way you can't stand me but can't get rid of me!
The shocked, incomprehensible and even sympathetic looks from the other media people around him gave him a sense of being the only one sober while everyone else was drunk.

The true meaning of journalism is to use the most bloody questions, turning them into a steel knife that pierces the heart of the person involved!

I have to say that young people nowadays are really smart! Look how angry they are!

After gaining popularity through various eye-catching reports, the situation of E-Sports Home has obviously improved.

So much so that recently they even recruited a new intern reporter who is smart and capable.

The questions for this interview were raised by him in the work group, and so far, the results seem to be very effective.

Thinking of this, the reporter couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

The content of the question originally proposed by the newcomer was even more explosive.

Isn't Tian Sen the only one among the many flowers who joined later and who was born in the Royal Wind Team? This is a good point to make a fuss about.

However, the editor-in-chief was ultimately timid and thought that doing so would be tantamount to completely breaking off relations with Fanhua, so he rejected it.

What’s going on? Without reporters, LPL is nothing, and you’re still afraid of him?

The reporter from E-Sports Home, immersed in the glory of the past, faced with the glares from the crowd, showed no weakness and looked back with a bit of provocation.

Zhang Jiale had never seen such garbage before, so he slammed the table and stood up.

But Lu Liang unnoticeably grabbed the hem of Zhang Jiale's uniform with one hand from the audience and gave him a calm look: Don't be impulsive, that will play into their hands.

Only then did Zhang Jiale force himself to suppress his anger.

After Lu Liang pondered for a few seconds, a sarcastic smile appeared on his face. He took the microphone and said slowly:
"Regarding the reporter's question, I feel that as the current head coach and leader of Fanhua, we have not been sidelined yet."

"I believe I still have a say in the team's tactics and substitutions."

As soon as these two sentences came out, some reporters who were more knowledgeable already understood what Lu Liang meant, and a low laugh came from the audience.

The only difference was that the reporter from E-sports Home who asked the question was that he was not very experienced and had obviously not done enough research. He did not react for a moment and thought that Lu Liang was here to take the blame, so he "took advantage of the victory" and said:

"If that's the case, does that mean you, Coach Lu, admitted that you deliberately arranged unfair situations for Tian Sen, a player in the team?"

He thought it was a ruthless move, but who knew that once these words were spoken, the laughter at the scene became even more outrageous, making him a little irritated for a moment.

"Idiot." Zhang Jiale muttered, but he was no longer angry and became calm.

It's obvious that this guy who is obsessed with making big news is not very smart and can't even do the most basic homework.

Lu Liang looked at this guy and laughed: "I need to remind you of one thing:"

"Before joining Fanhua, I, team leader Guo Mingyu, and the player Tian Sen that this reporter has been complaining about, all came from the Royal Wind E-Sports Club of the Glory Professional League."

"In other words, if we insist on following this reporter's logic and there is nepotism and factionalism within our company, then we should give priority to employing Tian Sen!"

At this time, the overly proud reporter finally reacted and his face began to turn ugly.

The smile will not disappear, it will only shift. The reporters from other media at the scene would not play against the wind at this time, and they laughed even more wildly.

After everyone had laughed enough, Lu Liang straightened his face and said in a resolute voice: "Regarding Xiye's performance, we must admit that his condition has been a little bit up and down during this period."

"But please don't forget that Xiye is only 18 years old and has just entered the professional arena!"

"It's normal for young people to have unstable conditions and experience ups and downs."

"If we hastily give up and stop trusting Xiye because of one or two poor performances, it would be unfair to Xiye! It would also be detrimental to the future growth of the team!"

"That's why I made the decision to let Xiye play. I should take the responsibility for the loss in the end."

"But," Lu Liang changed his tone and his expression suddenly turned cold: "These are all normal tactical choices and have nothing to do with any factors other than tactics!"

"Some media and individuals, based on hearsay, tried to conclude that there was discord within our club based on some absurd associations and imposed interpretations!"

"This is a serious slander and an insult to our club! We will never let it go!"

This last sentence even had a hint of gnashing of teeth.

Obviously, this time, Lu Liang was really angry. The reporter was shocked and saw that Lu Liang was serious, but he still had a little luck in his heart.

We were invited by Chairman Feng himself——

"Okay!" At this moment, the door of the interview room was pushed open and Feng Xianjun walked in with great strides.

The faces of everyone present suddenly changed.

This person was actually alarmed and came out.

Although he cheered, Feng Xianjun's face was so cold that it looked like water was about to drip out.

He is now filled with fear.

Fortunately, Fanhua handled the situation well, otherwise he would have been implicated.

Damn E-Sports Home, they have been using his name to bully others!

Being stared at by Feng Xianjun's murderous gaze, the reporter from E-sports Home finally realized that something was wrong and wanted to make amends -

However, Feng Xianjun did not give him that opportunity.

"As a fair, just and open e-sports league, LPL has always been committed to creating a transparent, fast and authentic news environment."

"But this does not mean that some news media can unscrupulously use subjective speculation and hearsay to throw mud at our club!"

"We will not sit idly by and watch the clubs we join suffer such unfair treatment!"

"Any media outlet that dares to challenge this should be prepared to receive a letter from our lawyers!"

Feng Xianjun finally breathed a sigh of relief after the official statement was made clearly.

He was so angry today that he almost had a long-lost heart attack.

There was silence for a second or two, and then thunderous applause broke out.

The person in charge of Tencent Esports has personally come out to express his position, what else is there to say?

Amid the applause, only the reporter from E-Sports Home seemed to have lost all his strength and collapsed on the spot.

……

……

"Boss Pei, this is what happened."

"It was my fault for not supervising the personnel I employed, which gave such a bad apple the opportunity to infiltrate our journalist team. I bear the main responsibility for this situation. I will reflect on it."

During the phone call, Feng Xianjun's tone was full of self-blame and sincerity.

In the past, Pei Yunteng would have comforted him or made a joke or something.

But today he just listened quietly to Feng Xianjun's self-criticism, and then slowly spoke:
"The top priority now is to stabilize public opinion online."

"The current situation is very clear. Someone is behind this. They turned a minor incident into a large-scale cyberbullying against the entire Fanhua community."

Feng Xianjun nodded with lingering fear: "Boss Pei is right."

He has also received reports that the online public opinion has begun to move in a biased direction.

The purpose of this deflection is to force Fanhua to kill their out-of-form mid laner Xiye.

First, several so-called "Baihua Big Fans" and "Fanhuaxuejing Big Fans" stood up and accused Xiye and delayed their Lele from winning the championship.

They said quite radically that they won the MSI championship by relying on Zhang Jiale and others, and if they were unwilling to play seriously, they could just get lost, as LPL has no shortage of talented youngsters.

There are also several marketing accounts claiming to be fans of Huangfeng, using similar rhetoric to E-Sports Home, complaining that Xiye is so bad but they are unwilling to give Tian Sen a chance.

It’s just that they are smarter than E-Sports Home and won’t be so foolish as to target Lu Liang.

The timing of their voices was very concentrated, and soon a strong wave of voices was formed on the Internet.

As a result, the current public opinion environment has begun to become chaotic.

"I don't care about what happened before. It has already happened. So next time I hire someone, I will be more careful."

"But I don't want to see anyone taking advantage of loopholes and affecting our league and players."

"You can do this boldly. Tenghai headquarters will give you full support."

"Some people, if they are not made to pay a price, seem to have forgotten who they rely on for their food!" Pei Yunteng's eyes flashed coldly.

He had some guesses as to who was behind the scenes, but he wasn't sure.

After all, there are many people, both at home and abroad, who are eyeing the fat piece of meat in e-sports.

But no matter what, it is necessary to kill the chicken to scare the monkey this time.

Only by letting those guys who value traffic over horses be killed all over the place can those who are ready to make moves in the darkness put away their inappropriate thoughts.

"Understood! Please rest assured, Mr. Pei! If things can't be settled, I will come to you with my head on my head!"

Feng Xianjun issued a military order.

He was also very angry after being stabbed in the back like this.

The highs and lows have to cost someone something.

But he suddenly remembered something, and after some hesitation, he asked:
"But Mr. Pei, if we go all out to crack down on them this time, it may cause some of our relatively fanatical fan communities to suffer a significant blow..."

"Why don't you just say it's a fan club?" Pei Yunteng interrupted.

At this moment, scenes from his previous life began to flash through his mind.

TES fans rule the team to the top 16...

LNG is in trouble xmm...

PVZ's WBG special edition...

And all those things outside the e-sports circle...

The more I thought about it, the angrier I got.

Pei Yunteng made the decision: "Ignore them!"

“Cultivating extreme fans is a tricky path, and the fall of glory has fully demonstrated this.”

"If we do a good job of our content and build a good league, we will not lack fans!"

"understand!"

After getting the approval, Feng Xianjun was eager to give it a try.

It's time for someone to feel Fujiko's big hand!
