The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 189: The left and right arms are all scumbags!
Fei Zhiyuan was filled with anger.

But he still held it in and didn't lose his temper at the celebration party.

He took the phone Kong Zhuoran handed over and wanted to see how serious the situation was.

The mobile phone screen is Mengjin's mobile game section. Even without any keyword filtering, the entire page is full of topics about "Mirror World Story"——

[Laughs, as expected of a famous Izumo artist, XP is indeed quite niche]
[Fuck your mother Okamoto Yoshimori! Fuck your mother konjac game! Fuck your mother Fei Zhiyuan! ]
[Fuck, I felt something was wrong before, it turns out it’s not an illusion, it’s just private information! ]
[I've been playing online games for 6 years, and I've never seen such disgusting private goods! How can this guy not come out and apologize?]
[Apologize? I suggest committing seppuku!]
[Where is the Truck Man? I’m asking you guys where the Truck Man is!!]
……

Fei Zhiyuan randomly clicked on two posts, the contents were similar -

Thumbnails and translations of the book drawn by Yoshimori Okamoto four years ago, screenshots of the lines and background story of [Flower of the Spiritual Language: Star and Moon], and screenshots of NPC dialogues in story missions...

Then stringing all of these together gives the result:
Yoshimori Okamoto was still ambitious and hid his own special XP in the game when designing the characters!

At the end of the posts, without exception, they all cursed Yoshimori Okamoto and Konjac Games, and asked Konjac to give everyone an explanation.

"You want to explain?"

"I still want to explain!!!"

Fei Zhiyuan became furious and his blood pressure soared.

"Boss, what should we do?" Kong Zhuoran ignored his anger and quickly asked for countermeasures.

"Pretend to be dead first." Fei Zhiyuan said subconsciously, "Now the players are all angry, they don't want to listen to anything you say."

"I will issue a statement in the evening saying that the matter of the comic book is all a thing of the past. Okamoto Yoshimori has long since left the comic book industry and has reformed. He has been away from the comic book industry for many years and his creative philosophy has also changed."

"Now! Ask him to draw a few warm and lovely character sketches, and say that they were drawn in his spare time to prove that he now has only the pure care of a father for his daughter for his characters, especially Xingyue."

"Now, drag him away and paint him! I don't want to see him again today!"

"The rest of the matter will be discussed after the celebration party is over."

Fei Zhiyuan felt that the situation was still under control and did not want to interrupt the celebration.

Because Okamoto Yoshimori was the "main contributor", he sat on his right, and because of his toast, he had also stood up with his glass in hand.

But Fei Zhiyuan's toast was suddenly interrupted, and he froze there.

Okamoto Yoshimori didn't understand Chinese yet, so he could only watch Fei Zhiyuan and Kong Zhuoran communicate blankly, having no idea what they were talking about.

He was confused: Didn't you want to toast me? Why did you stop toasting halfway?

So should I drink this wine or not?

He turned to look at his translator.

But the usually considerate translator just stood there awkwardly, not knowing whether she should translate or not.

It was not until Kong Zhuoran found her, asked her to relay the story, and then ruthlessly dragged Okamoto Yoshimori away from the celebration party to paint.

Looking at this scene, the project team members at the celebration party were all confused and uneasy.

But Fei Zhiyuan did not explain.

Instead, he waited until Okamoto Yoshimori left, picked up the wine again, and changed the subject:

“The success of Mirror World is not the result of one or two people’s efforts, but the result of the joint efforts of the entire team!”

"This glass of wine should be toasted to everyone!"

"Of course, Gong Feng, as the project manager, has made great contributions through his leadership. I would like to toast him with this glass of wine..."

"Bang!" Another operator who stayed behind, Zhang Mingyu, rushed in and interrupted Fei Zhiyuan's toast again.

"Boss, something bad has happened!"

"?" Fei Zhiyuan looked at him with an absurd expression, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Mingyu opened his mouth, trying to speak more tactfully.

After all, this is the celebration party of the "Mirror World Story" development team, and everyone is there in an orderly manner. If it sounds too unpleasant, it will be embarrassing for everyone.

But the incident happened suddenly, and he couldn't think of a euphemism. Seeing that his boss was getting angrier and angrier, he quickly gave up on the wording and repeated it bluntly:

"The development team of Mirror World secretly photographed the private parts of female models. When they were discovered, they became angry and beat up several models."

"The deputy project manager molested the model, but the manager Gong Feng turned a blind eye."

“?” Fei Zhiyuan was stunned at first.

Only then did I dig out this old event from the corners of my memory.

but……

"Secretly filming?"

He turned his head to look at Gong Feng on his left, "Is there anything else?"

"No." Gong Feng shook his head and denied, "They were showing off their clothes and taking photos. A few people also took a few photos with their phones. No one was secretly taking photos."

"Hmm?" Fei Zhiyuan was a little confused.

"You mean, people are slandering you?"

"You didn't take the photos secretly, you took them openly. Are you so confident?"

Gong Feng lowered his head, speechless.

"What are you still standing there for? Go and solve the problem you created!"

"I absolutely cannot accept the accusation of secretly filming!"

"That is to say, there is no experience in this area and there are unprofessional aspects in the process, which led to some misunderstandings."

"There was no beating, just some physical friction. We have reached a settlement with Longteng Fashion afterwards." "Remember to communicate with Longteng Fashion and reach a tacit understanding in advance."

"Finally, hire a group of internet trolls to change the topic, contact the platform to remove the trending search, and suppress the popularity. I don't need to teach you these, right?!"

Everyone present could hear the dissatisfaction in Fei Zhiyuan's words.

So everyone was silent, which formed a huge contrast with the warm atmosphere a few minutes ago.

After Gong Feng left with a few people, the two stools on Fei Zhiyuan's left and right were both empty.

After being treated like this by these two "generals", he had no mood to drink, let alone celebrate.

But "Mirror World Story" made a lot of money after all, and after solving these troubles, it will become another economic pillar of the company in the future.

You can't take your anger out on the entire team because of the problems of a few individuals.

Fei Zhiyuan at least remembered that he was the boss, so he suppressed his anger and continued with the celebration banquet.

However, he omitted the toasts, thanks, encouragement and other aspects.

——He was worried that if he said more, another person would rush out the next second and yell at him, "Boss, something bad has happened!"

After just saying "It's not a big problem, don't worry," he signaled for everyone to start eating.

But the boss was obviously in a bad mood, and the project he was responsible for had also run into problems. How could the employees sit down and eat and drink attentively at the celebration banquet?
Because of the great success of "Mirror World Story", Fei Zhiyuan asked his assistant to arrange a celebration banquet and contacted the famous local high-end restaurant [Imperial Palace Hotel].

The dishes on each table are all made of high-end ingredients, cooked and presented skillfully by top chefs, and are truly delicious.

But everyone in this room turned this celebration banquet into a funeral banquet.

There was no sound of laughter in the entire hall, only the slight sound of chopsticks hitting dishes.

The air was almost frozen.

Fei Zhiyuan couldn't bear to watch it anymore and left first.

As soon as the boss left, the rest of the people got up and left.

The entire celebration banquet ended in a bad mood.

This seemed to be a sign.

For the rest of the afternoon, the situation facing Mirror World was extremely bad.

After the announcement was issued, it was simply unable to convince the public.

Netizens totally disagree.

In the comment section under the announcement, the comment with the highest number of likes is:
"For the record: There was no hidden camera shooting, it was filmed openly. There was no beating either, just 'physical friction'."

Not only did this thing fail to appease the female user, but it further intensified the conflict.

As for the heat pressure...

I can't suppress it at all!

Mengjin has now become an important public opinion position that cannot be ignored in the field of second-hand travel and social news.

It just happened to be their rival in Konjac Games, and the public relations team couldn’t get involved at all.

Other social media are better.

——But it is also limited.

They can suppress the heat, but when they suppress one, another appears.

Gong Feng suspected that someone was competing with them and wasting money together.

But he has no evidence.

Can't pinpoint who did it.

……

When Yoshimori Okamoto finally finished drawing the three sketches, the "Mirror World Story" project team issued an explanation announcement about the "Star and Moon Incident".

Yoshimori Okamoto also updated his own Weiguang account at the same time, explaining his aesthetic changes (XP changes) over the past four years.

——Of course, Yoshimori Okamoto doesn’t speak Chinese, so this update was written for him by the project team’s public relations department.

Regrettably:

Neither the announcement nor the updates convinced the players.

"What we want is to be fired! A refund! An apology and admitting the mistake!"

"Not this kind of light-hearted apology announcement!"

The players were furious.

A campaign to uninstall the client has been launched.

The entire project team of "Mirror World Story" is overwhelmed!

Until the end of working hours, a large number of staff members remained in the company to discuss solutions and countermeasures.

The developers and artists left work on time.

But their mood was not at ease at all.

——Because when they walked out of the company gate, they saw big trucks.

Six large trucks with black-and-white portraits of Fei Zhiyuan, Gong Feng, and Okamoto Yoshimori and large-character posters reading "CNM return the money", "Apologize and confess", and "Rogue company" lined up in front of the entrance of the Konjac Game Company.

There were big blood-red crosses drawn on those three black and white portraits, which looked extremely creepy!
