The next morning, at the Lin Group.

"Yesterday, it topped the best-selling charts on iOS. Combined across both platforms, the first-day revenue of this game from our branch has exceeded ten million."

"If things continue like this, our company's cash flow will be barely able to keep going."

A rather capable-looking young man stood in front of the desk and introduced himself respectfully.

The middle-aged man sitting leisurely in front of him, whose figure was somewhat plump, was none other than Lin Jingming, the chairman of the Lin Group.

"not bad."

Lin Jingming smirked smugly, "As expected, you young people have a more discerning eye when it comes to the entertainment industry. Get ready to take over Li Yong's position by the end of the year."

"I heard that the founder of Polaris Corporation has to call you uncle?" The man couldn't hide the smile on his face, but he still couldn't help but ask.

After all, in this era, traffic is king. Their games were released early and secured a basic market share. If Polaris, which has also invested a lot of effort in this area, only gets a small share, then all that huge investment can be considered a complete loss.

For a game company, especially a newly established one, such a loss is practically fatal, and it wouldn't be surprising if it went bankrupt as a result.

They're really ruthless to exploit their own nephew.

They're both the same type of game; one is raking in the traffic and enjoying immense popularity, while the other's fate is predictable.

"What does his life or death have to do with me...?"

Lin Jingming stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray and said nonchalantly, "Consider this a free lesson I gave these young people. The business world is full of deceit and treachery. If you don't have the ability, you should just swallow your bitter pill."

The man was stunned for a moment, never expecting that his boss could describe the act of picking on the weak in such a refreshing and elegant way.

The phone rang, and Lin Jingming called out "Xiao Li" in an ambiguous tone.

Upon hearing that it wasn't the name of his boss's legal wife, he was about to leave when Lin Jingming's secretary opened the door and walked in.

"President Lin..."

"Get to the point," Lin Jingming said, frowning.

After hesitating for a long time, the female secretary finally turned on the video on her phone, placed it on the table, and gently pushed it in front of Lin Jingming.

In the video, a handsome young man with delicate features said with red eyes:

"Hello everyone, I am Chen Lu, the founder of Polaris Corporation."

"Starting today, our company will cooperate with Tencent to launch a rights protection campaign against the Lin Group for its plagiarism of our internal data and other misconduct."

He then explained the whole incident in detail, including the cause and effect, his dreams, and his innocence and confusion after being targeted.

And his determination to fight to the end.

The video is short, only five or six minutes long.

The two of them finished reading it very quickly.

Lin Jingming didn't show any reaction on the surface, but the boy watching from the sidelines felt like he was on a rollercoaster ride the whole time.

He knew why Chen Lu posted the video online before actually taking legal action.

To be honest, crying your heart out is the least useful thing in the business world. These seasoned veterans are a bunch of vultures with wings and fangs. As soon as you fall to the ground, you will be devoured and left with nothing but bones.

However, the situation is quite the opposite online.

People online are quite willing to speak out for a vulnerable person who has been bullied, whether it's due to a strong sense of justice or simply to vent their negative emotions.

What are Chen Lu's current online personas?

A student of Yuhang University, a business genius who started from scratch in his twenties, and a rising star in the domestic game industry...

Out of affection for the game, players of "Slay the Tower" have a high level of goodwill towards him. The game is also very popular, and a considerable number of young people on the internet know him.

Most importantly, he is also a college student who has just entered society, a flower of the motherland, and a peer of the main users of online surfing.

These obvious circumstances, coupled with his tearful narration in the video, immediately made him meet all the criteria.

It's all too easy for college students to empathize with being disgusted by others just as they're about to make their mark.

The eyebrow pencil incident has sparked public outrage because the low salaries of many netizens are not due to a lack of work effort. This incident has angered people, partly because everyone has experienced similar disgusting experiences when they first graduated.

"How's the fermentation going?" After a long silence, Lin Jingming asked in a cold voice.

The secretary pursed her lips, but still mustered her courage to say, "The video was released late last night, and it's already trending on both Weibo and Douyin..."

Seeing that Lin Jingming was just staring blankly ahead and hadn't reacted yet, she dared to continue, "The lawyer's letter just arrived..."

"It seems like he's really going to team up with the penguins to mess with us," the young man muttered under his breath.

He swallowed the words, "Our legal department doesn't seem as tough as Tencent's," and didn't dare say them aloud.

It was only then that he realized that Chen Lu actually had the law department of Yuhang University behind him, as well as the legal connections Chen Lu should have.

Most importantly, their current immense popularity has ultimately benefited others.

He swallowed hard, suddenly realizing that this person was not as simple as he had thought.

The next second, the sound of a teacup shattering echoed through the office, followed by Lin Jingming's furious roar: "This isn't Shenzhen!"
