Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 141 Today is the home game of Jingzhou Daily (Fourth update)

On August 8, the championship and runner-up finals officially kicked off.

Early in the morning, the major media outlets had already packed the commercial street.

There was no suspense in yesterday's semi-finals. The Hong Kong Style Trend Team and the Momo Internet Cafe Team entered the finals with a near-crushing momentum.

The defeated Tianxing Training Team 3 and Huaxing Electronics Team 1 also decided the winner yesterday.

Team 3 of Tianxing Training won and became the third place in this e-sports competition.

The Hong Kong Style Trend Team is the dark horse team in this competition, and as a local team in Jingzhou City, it has attracted the attention of all citizens.

If the quarterfinals hadn't caused many people to lose their money, many people would probably have bought the Hong Kong style trend to win.

After the disastrous defeat at Feiyang Internet Cafe, not many people participated in the peripheral betting on the championship and runner-up finals, and most of the money was emptied out.

The championship and runner-up finals were a big event that settled the hearts of countless people.

Although it was not as popular as the century-long battle between Feiyang Internet Cafe Team and Momo Internet Cafe Team, it also produced unexpected gains.

That is, suddenly more women are paying attention to this game.

The Hong Kong style trend made it to the finals as an all-girl dark horse lineup, which gave countless girls a strong sense of pride.

On the commercial street, the ratio of men to women has even reached 50:50.

Many girls held up signs promoting Hong Kong style trends, hoping that they would create miracles.

If the Hong Kong style trend wins, it will not only be the local team defeating the foreign team, but also a huge victory for the female group, because they won the championship in the field that boys are best at.

"I heard that the three girls from the Hong Kong Trend Team are all top players from Hong Kong eSports organizations."

"Who invited them?"

"I heard it's a Hong Kong-style fashion store on the commercial street in the city center."

"Is that clothing store owner so powerful? He actually hired a master from Hong Kong?"

On the commercial street, many girls are discussing the Hong Kong style fashion team.

On the contrary, the Momo Internet Cafe Team has played the role of the villain from the beginning to now. Except for those migrant workers, almost no one cheers for them.

For the award ceremony, Cheng Yi specially invited a professional advertising company to build a luxurious booth at the intersection to the left of Momo Internet Cafe. The background wall of the booth was still a modified version of Du Yusheng's poster, which was arrogant and domineering.

I don’t know if the onlookers have gotten used to it, or if they’ve been conquered by the strength of the Momo Internet Cafe Team, but now few people have any objections to Du Yusheng’s photo.

"Look, the camera cars from Jingzhou TV are here."

"Wow."

"Look over there, there are so many reporters."

"And the reporters from Xinlang."

The championship match has caused quite a stir before it even started.

"An Audi has arrived. What important person is coming?"

"Is it a sponsor?"

"It's Li Baoliang, the Li Baoliang who publicly broke with Momo Internet Cafe."

Amidst the discussion among the crowd, an Audi 100 sedan slowly stopped in front of the Momo Internet Cafe.

The driver quickly got out of the car and helped open the door.

Li Baoliang and Ren Hui walked down from the back seat. They adjusted their neat suits as usual and their eyes fell on Cheng Yi who was standing at the door to greet guests.

"Oh, Mr. Li, welcome, welcome." Cheng Yi laughed and walked over quickly.

Cheng Yi's reaction surprised Li Baoliang.

He originally thought that Cheng Yi would just turn his face away or do something that was appropriate for an 18-year-old in front of these reporters. He never expected that Cheng Yi would act even more like an old fox than him.

Cheng Yi went up to Li Baoliang and gave him a big hug. This unexpected hug made Li Baoliang a little dazed.

People who don’t know the inside story might think they have reconciled.

Many media outlets around pressed the shutter button.

"Mr. Li, please come in quickly." Cheng Yi said with a smile.

Li Baoliang glared at Cheng Yi and sneered, "I really can't believe you can be so patient."

"No, no, my sincere feelings come from the bottom of my heart." Cheng Yi still had a smile on his face. He looked at Ren Hui beside Li Baoliang and said, "Who is this handsome brother?"

"My name is Ren Hui." Ren Hui introduced himself.

"Oh, it's Mr. Ren from the Computer Parts City." Cheng Yi said with a smile, "I heard that Mr. Ren is the largest computer parts supplier in Jingzhou City. I've heard of your name for a long time, but unfortunately I never had the chance to meet you. Today I finally get to meet you."

Ren Hui frowned slightly, looking down on Cheng Yi. Cheng Yi invited Li Baoliang and Ren Hui into the tea room, then said with a smile, "You two should take a break first. I'll invite you to watch the finals when they start."

"No need, just call us when the awards ceremony is held." Li Baoliang frowned.

"Okay." Cheng Yi responded and left in a hurry.

After watching Cheng Yi leave, Ren Hui said, "Boss Li, why do I feel like this guy is trying to curry favor with us? Has your plan been leaked?"

"Hmph, even if he tries to curry favor with me, it's too late." Li Baoliang sneered, "At the awards ceremony later, you'll be in charge of presenting the third place, and I'll be in charge of presenting the second place. As long as the media is paying attention, we'll proceed according to the plan."

"Okay." Ren Hui laughed immediately.

It feels so good to ruin the event. It's much better than just giving out awards. If something happens at an awards ceremony, it will definitely be explosive news.

Most importantly, they represent local people.

If they smash the thing like this, it will definitely make the local citizens of Jingzhou excited. Even if they can't become heroes, they will at least become celebrities that everyone admires.

After leaving the tea room, Cheng Yi returned to the entrance of the Internet cafe on the first floor and continued to greet guests.

In addition to media representatives, the others invited to watch the game are the bosses behind the top 32 teams, including a large group of Internet cafe owners. These people are all potential customers of Toutiao and must be received well.

After more than ten minutes, another Audi car stopped not far away.

The car door opened and Zhao Gang got out first.

Cheng Yi hurriedly walked over and saw an elegant middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses getting out of the back seat.

"Brother Cheng, come here, let me introduce you. This is our editor-in-chief Li of Jingzhou Daily." Seeing Cheng Yi coming towards him, Zhao Gang hurriedly introduced him.

"Is he Li Zhiyuan?" Cheng Yi stepped forward quickly and held Li Zhiyuan's right hand with both hands.

Li Zhiyuan looked at Cheng Yi and said with a smile: "Boss Cheng, you are so smart at such a young age. Your future is limitless."

"Editor-in-Chief Li, you're being kind." Cheng Yi said with a smile, "Ninety-nine percent of the credit for the huge popularity of my competition goes to Jingzhou Daily. I'm just a creative provider. I always tell people that I'm the waiter of this e-sports competition, and Jingzhou Daily is the host of this e-sports competition."

Li Zhiyuan was slightly surprised by Cheng Yi's humility.

A satisfied smile spread across his face as he said, "I really don't deserve to be the boss. We can't interfere in other people's affairs, haha."

"This is not meddling in other people's business. The most talked about thing now is that our Jingzhou Daily hosted the most successful e-sports competition in China and also created the first Internet section in the print media industry. Editor-in-Chief Zhao and I tell everyone that it was thanks to Editor-in-Chief Li's foresight that so many impossibilities became possible." Cheng Yi smiled simply.

What do intellectuals love most? They love vanity, face, and flattery.

And these are what Cheng Yi is best at.

Since you can flatter someone without losing money, you should flatter them as much as possible. Nowadays, many companies have failed because they don't know how to flatter someone, just for the so-called face.

If an entrepreneur wants face, that's as weird as a lady wanting chastity.

If you want face, become a writer and write freely.

Entrepreneurs are those who learn to throw their face on the ground and let others trample on it.

An entrepreneur is one who spends money to buy back his lost face.

Cheng Yi's flattery made Li Zhiyuan's face wrinkle with laughter. Cheng Yi continued, "Editor-in-Chief Li, many media from inside and outside the province have come to this award ceremony. As the organizer, can you meet with them?"

"Of course." Li Zhiyuan laughed and said, "It just so happens that I also want to chat with you colleagues about the development of the media industry."

Cheng Yi gave Zhao Gang a look, and Zhao Gang immediately understood and invited Li Zhiyuan to the media side.

Li Zhiyuan is a well-known figure in the media industry. When they saw Li Zhiyuan walking into Momo Internet Cafe, many media representatives immediately surrounded him.

Facing the long spear and short sprint, Li Zhiyuan placed his hands together in front of him and said with a smile: "First of all, on behalf of the organizers of this competition, I warmly welcome everyone to come..."

As a senior leader of Jingzhou Daily, Li Zhiyuan was very eager to express himself in front of the media. He spoke for more than ten minutes and turned this e-sports competition into the home court of Jingzhou Daily.

However, this is also the result Cheng Yi wants.

This time, Li Baoliang came over with murderous intent, and it was obvious that he had bad intentions.

He prepared several hurdles for Li Baoliang today, and Li Zhiyuan was the first hurdle prepared for Li Baoliang.

If Li Baoliang wanted to cause trouble at the award ceremony, he would not have targeted Momo Internet Cafe, but Jingzhou Daily and the extremely face-conscious and vindictive Li Zhiyuan.

"Oh, I hope Comrade Li Baoliang can take it easy." Cheng Yi couldn't help but feel sorry for Li Baoliang.

Just as Cheng Yi was about to go back to the Internet cafe, someone patted his shoulder.

Turning around, he saw a familiar face.

Su Duo?

Wasn't she grounded?

　Thank you all for your monthly tickets. I’ll send you a thank you list tomorrow. Haha, it’s a bit late. I’m going to sleep first.
