The so-called evidence accusing them of plagiarizing foreign games was first released by a minor online influencer on an overseas social media platform.

He created some ambiguous comparison images to accuse Sheng Hai Group's games of plagiarism.

Interestingly, the post by this internet celebrity didn't get many views on overseas social media platforms, but it was screenshotted and circulated in China.

And in a short period of time, it garnered a large number of views, becoming almost universally known within the gaming industry.

After the netizens, caught up in their passion, calmed down, they realized they had been used as pawns.

Sheng Hai Group stated that they had located the game based on the comparison images posted by the original blogger, only to find that it was a web-based single-player game, which had absolutely no connection to the game released by Shanghai Group.

It's just that there are a few similar special effects, but people have taken screenshots and made a big fuss about them.

This internet celebrity is an artist signed with the Fu Group and registered on overseas social media platforms.

Although the statement released by Sheng Hai Group did not explicitly mention Fu's Group, it was quite sarcastic and insinuating.

The phrase "Focus more on yourself and stay away from marketing accounts" is particularly laughable.

This phrase originated from a well-known artist under the Fu Group.

This popular young actor became famous because he frequently comments on his fans' accounts, earning him the reputation of being a down-to-earth celebrity.

This has gradually given rise to the saying: Focus on yourself and stay away from the lives of your fans.

This phrase has almost become synonymous with that artist, who is closely linked to the interests of the Fu Group.

Even without being explicitly named, it's essentially the same as unleashing a powerful attack right at your face.

Upon receiving the news, Fu Xiuheng's face turned so dark it was almost dripping with water. He even personally attended a meeting of the public relations department.

During the meeting, everyone involved from various departments held their breath.

The scene was quite awkward for a while, and after an unknown amount of time, Fu Xiuheng finally spoke in a low voice.

"I asked you to do marketing, and this is the result you've produced?"

The operations manager was immediately taken aback and hurriedly offered an explanation.

"Our new game is so similar to the one that Sheng Hai just released. If we don't seize the public opinion first, who knows how things will turn out after our game is released."

Although the public relations manager dared not speak, he nodded in agreement.

He personally believes that marketing methods are the same across all industries, whether it's games or the entertainment industry. In this era of entertainment supremacy, seizing the initiative is the only way to have a voice.

Fu Xiuheng's gaze swept coldly over everyone, uttering a soul-searching question.

"So, the games you make can only imitate others, and can't create their own?"

The crowd looked at each other in dismay. Although they were afraid, at this moment, everyone had the same thought: Listen to him, is he even speaking human language?

The domestic game industry started late, and by the time it began to flourish, foreign game genres were already emerging in large numbers.

Even if the project team racked their brains, they couldn't possibly come up with a completely independent and creative idea.

There will always be similarities, or even resemblances, in certain aspects.

Moreover, the reason why the Fu Group wanted to get a share of the gaming industry was all for Lin Yuyan.

To this day, the staff in the technical department still remember being called to a meeting overnight, just to create a new department to make a game for Lin Yuyan that imitated the core of a foreign game but was designed to suit her tastes.

The group looked at each other, none of them daring to speak first.

Fu Xiuheng looked at them and coldly uttered a sentence.

"If this matter is not handled properly, everyone in the public relations department will be fired."

The public relations manager shuddered and quickly made a statement.

"Don't worry, President, we will definitely resolve this within three days."

Fu Xiuheng's face was gloomy as he spoke again.

"All game projects currently under development must be halted."

This time, it was the project team's turn to complain bitterly.

These games include co-branded titles and those developed in collaboration with other companies. If this is halted, how are they supposed to explain this to the outside world?

The technicians, who worked diligently every day and were almost going bald from exhaustion, nearly slammed their fists on the table and cursed.

The project manager wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly said.

"President, you should think twice. It's easy to stop this project, but you'll definitely have to pay compensation afterwards. It's a complex issue with far-reaching consequences. You should reconsider."

"Releasing a bunch of plagiarized and imitated content, aren't you really afraid of disgracing the Fu Group? Can't you learn from the Sheng Hai Group and have some original thinking?"

Everyone present felt they were more wronged than Dou E.

Is this the legendary idiot boss?

He set a bad precedent by accommodating Lin Qingran, but now he wants to shift all the blame onto others.

But what could they do? They were the ones in power, and their word was law.

After Fu Xiuheng left, everyone looked at each other, all with the same thought: How did someone with Fu Xiuheng's brains get to the top?

Lu An, who had accompanied Fu Xiuheng through the meeting, was even more apprehensive. He tried to speak several times, but didn't know where to begin.

Finally, Fu Xiuheng turned and glanced at him, "What's wrong?"

Lu An stammered, "Actually, I think that although the Fu Group has many businesses, if you have the time, President, you should still take a look at them in person."

Lu An spoke with trepidation, fearing that Fu Xiuheng's face would darken and he would slap her hard across the face in the next second.

But at this moment, he couldn't help but silently complain in his heart that Fu Xiuheng's starting point was too high, so he couldn't really understand the difficulty of implementing a project.

Lu An admitted that it might not be good for him to have such thoughts, but at this moment he really couldn't help himself.

"So you think this incident happened because I didn't control the wind direction well from the beginning?" Fu Xiuheng said coldly.

Lu An quickly lowered his head, not daring to breathe.

Surprisingly, Fu Xiuheng didn't say anything and turned to leave.

Lu An followed Fu Xiuheng nervously back to the office.

Looking at the table full of documents, Fu Xiuheng felt even more depressed.

He was well aware that the problems in the gaming sector stemmed entirely from his initial excessive leniency.

That year, he had just married Lin Qingran not long before, and his guilt towards Lin Yuyan was at its peak.

Whatever Lin Yuyan wanted, Fu Xiuheng would give it to her without batting an eye.
