◎Is this the joy of winning without doing anything?◎
Ye Shengchuan was very puzzled.
The manager saw his constantly changing expressions and silent reaction and knew that what was said on the Internet was probably true.
"You, you, I've told you so many times to be more careful about what you say and do in private, but you never listen. With so many eyes watching, even a little carelessness could ruin your career."
The manager actually didn't like Ye Shengchuan very much because he was young and arrogant and was spoiled.
Compared to other players, his operational level has actually been declining. If they continue with the current team configuration, they will not be able to win the championship.
But there is no way, Ye Shengchuan is the faith of his fans.
He represents popularity and traffic. As long as he is on the field, their club will receive extremely high attention.
With attention, there will be advertisers’ favor, capital investment, and fans willing to spend money on them. Only then will the club not be in a state of annual losses as in the past, and the financial reports will look good.
So even though the club knew that Ye Shengchuan had poor personal ethics, it turned a blind eye.
To put it bluntly, the club also has an unshirkable responsibility to bring him to the height of public attention and create a "godhood" for him.
"Brother Zhao, what do you think we should do now? Please save me. I don't want to be without games in the future."
Haha, now I know how to cherish the playing field.
Manager Zhao despised him in his heart, but for the sake of the club's image and his own performance, he had to cover up for him.
He first worked with the operations team to help Ye Shengchuan appease his fans, having him and his top fans apologize one by one. Ye Shengchuan hadn't contacted fans privately, but simply failed to maintain proper distance, leading to misunderstandings. He said he wouldn't do that again. He also specially opened up VIP benefits for fans and invited several top fans to visit the studio.
There was no such thing as him dating a high school student. Instead, he was training with a small account at the time and saw someone who had a breakdown and was showing signs of depression. He was worried that she would do something stupid, so he asked her to persuade her.
But it seems... my kind behavior caused the girl to misunderstand.
As for playing passively, who wouldn’t complain or two when feeling down?
Ye Shengchuan looks sunny and resilient, always showing everyone his positive and upbeat side. In fact, he is under enormous pressure in private. He is just used to being cheerful and humorous in front of others, and he keeps his tears and sweat in his heart and digests them alone.
A series of coordinated operations from top to bottom indeed reversed the direction of public opinion.
The reason fans criticize so harshly is also because of their love for the contestants. The deeper their love, the more severe their criticisms. If they don't like someone, they won't even give them a glance or say a word.
Now the official and Ye Shengchuan himself have responded, and several big fans have been appeased and stopped making trouble. The disappointed and broken hearts of Ye Shengchuan's fans have been pieced together again.
I hope it's just a misunderstanding.
No one is perfect. Although Ye Shengchuan seems to have been up and down in the arena for many years, he has actually just celebrated his 20th birthday.
He has achieved such achievements at the age of 20 and has a rich and colorful life experience. Look at his younger brother of the same age who only knows how to eat and laugh foolishly. There is no harm without comparison.
As long as he doesn't forget his original intention and pursues his dreams firmly, he will still be the big boy that everyone likes.
Zou Kai and other male fans breathed a sigh of relief, saying that their faith would not collapse so easily.
…
“How shameless!”
Ji Xixi was enjoying the melon, but she didn't expect the wind to turn around in an instant.
Not only did the club fail to impose corresponding punishments and regulatory measures on the players, it actually helped the players deceive the public.
"There's nothing we can do about it. They are a community of shared interests."
Jiang Ninglu was used to seeing the methods of this kind of people, just like her former agent Qian Ze. When he was tied up with Su Baiwei, he would do everything he could to help Su Baiwei cover up.
Because helping others is helping yourself.
"Lulu, what should we do? Now everyone is starting again..."
Ji Xixi bit the words "I want you to quit the Internet" in her mouth and didn't say them out loud.
Jiang Ninglu's reaction was quite calm.
For some reason, she was still struggling with whether to draft an apology statement to protect her future.
Now that public opinion has backfired and her situation has become even worse, she has remained calm and resolute.
Screw the apology, this kind of garbage doesn't deserve it.
She would rather be scolded than bow to such a person.
Moreover, Jiang Ninglu had an inexplicable feeling that things would take a turn for the better.
after all--
"Xiao Ba, you won't cheat me, right?"
[This... me, let me take another look? Don't you have an old saying, "If you don't want others to know, don't do it yourself," or "If you walk by the river, you will get your feet wet"?]
Jiang Ninglu: “…”
"Open your panel and I'll see if there's any remedy."
However, there is no need for Jiang Ninglu to remedy the situation.
On the other hand, He Yueyue, who was about to rush back home from Beijing, received a strange call from Ye Shengchuan's club, who tactfully told her that as long as she kept quiet about the matter with Ye Shengchuan, they would compensate her for her losses.
He Yueyue held the phone tightly, listening to the other party's persuasion on the other end of the phone, as if he was trying to make peace and gain something for himself.
He Yueyue was confused and amused. She had just taken a quick look at the turmoil on the Internet, but she did not participate in the whole process. Instead, she was the one who was exposed and her personal information and school information were all leaked. She was worried about how to face her family and classmates when she returned.
What was going on now? The club wanted to pay her to shut her up, and Ye Shengchuan could give them his phone number but couldn't even break up with her in person.
At this moment, all the good things in Ye Shengchuan's heart were shattered.
The light from the star overhead also dimmed and went out.
For the first time, she wasn't the immature girl who would just cry when faced with something. She said, "I don't want your money. My parents always taught me not to take other people's things without reason. As for the compensation you mentioned, it's just a relationship. You two have no relationship, so how much loss can you expect?"
"Besides, our family doesn't lack your money."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Chen Jia stood aside and looked at his friend in surprise. After a while, he gave a thumbs-up and exclaimed, "Yueyue, awesome!"
"Who do those people think you are? They think you can be dealt with with money? Believe it or not, as long as you take the money, those people will turn around and call you a gold digger, saying that you are deliberately pestering Ye Shengchuan for money."
"I already have one." He Yueyue frowned. After the club responded, some people on the Internet said that she directed and acted in all of this herself.
The sister looking for someone, the social account information leak, the big fans fighting each other and the civil war...all of them were carefully planned by her to blame Ye Shengchuan.
People started adding her social media accounts one after another, and some even left messages on her school’s official Weibo account, asking the school to manage its students and expel them if it couldn’t.
Some people in the class group also started discussing these things, and privately asked her whether what she said online was true.
He Yueyue was so angry that she was shaking all over.
She just went to Ye Shengchuan to ask for a response, but it turned out to be so much trouble.
He Yueyue immediately opened the Weibo editing bar and began typing with trembling fingers.
[Seeing the many misunderstandings about me online and the troubles they have caused to my life, I feel it is necessary to explain.
1. I didn’t rely on Ye Shengchuan, I didn’t move myself, attack myself, or be self-righteous, and I didn’t direct and act in the show myself.
2. The reason I was looking for him was because he used the cold shoulder against me during our relationship. Yes, we were in a relationship, and he was the one who confessed first!
3. I never wanted to ruin his career. Until the last moment, I was still thinking about his future. But now I realize that I was overthinking it. He is a coward who doesn’t even dare to call me. He only dares to hide behind the club and try to use money to keep things quiet and discredit me!
…]
He Yueyue was furious and wrote more than a dozen accusations in a row.
She was a relatively gentle person and was determined to part ways amicably, but it was obvious that Ye Shengchuan and the club intended to let her take on everything.
She had already received so much abuse for not accepting the money. If she had been soft-hearted and persuaded by them, she didn't know what kind of life she would face in the future.
Netizens did not expect that things would take another turn, and Ye Shengchuan’s rumored girlfriend actually came out to testify personally.
Of course, no one believed her one-sided statement.
Who can't write a short essay?
But the key point is that He Yueyue not only edits texts, she also releases evidence to prove herself.
At this moment, she was extremely grateful for her love brain.
When she was with Ye Shengchuan at the beginning, she felt like she was dreaming. She couldn't believe that she would be in love with such a popular and glamorous person, so she copied all their chat records and printed them into a booklet.
The first time he confessed to her, every time they met, the places they went together, including in the game...all were saved by her.
He has a nice voice, no less than a voice actor.
She begged him to record all kinds of sweet quotes for her. Since the opportunities to meet were limited, she could only use this method to ease the pain of not being able to meet him for a long time.
She had originally intended to treasure these as the best memories of her youth.
I never thought that one day I would become a cold tool to fight back against the boy I once loved the most.
…
The clarification just made by Ye Shengchuan and his club was in vain.
He Yueyue's statement was well-reasoned and they could not find any basis for rebuttal.
However, some fans still insist that He Yueyue kept so much evidence of her relationship just to threaten Ye Shengchuan one day? Who would have so many tricks in their relationship and still say that they have no ulterior motives?
But it's meaningless.
Because real fans are not concerned about their love affairs, but some of them found out through digging into the game records of Ye Shengchuan's secondary account that when everyone thought he was training hard, he was playing games with a girl.
When he should have been preparing for an important game, he was sneaking out on a date.
He complained to his girlfriend more than once about his fans, his bad luck, his tight schedule, and his unwillingness to play games.
Even if you really want to complain, there's no need to do it so frequently.
And compared to other players, he already has enough.
Besides the championship, there is also the money, glory, reputation, and halo...
In such a surrounded environment, he still complained about the unfairness of fate, about his fans being too controlling, and about how everything he had didn't come easily enough...
What does he make ordinary people think?
Not to mention that he also backstabbed his teammates and called them bad.
Many fans suddenly lost interest in it.
The people you think are the real ones are going through dire straits, and you worry about them, feel anxious about them, work hard for them, and speak up for them online.
In the end, they found out that they were just meddling in other people's affairs, and they could no longer live a carefree life.
Seeing that the wind was blowing in the wrong direction, the club saw an increasing number of people unfollowing the official Weibo account and leaving the fan group, realizing that they had made a mistake in protecting Ye Shengchuan.
If you make a mistake, you should be punished accordingly and pay for your actions, but they chose to cover up and whitewash the situation.
The club hastily issued another statement, saying it will further follow up to understand the cause and consequences of the incident and strive to give everyone an explanation as soon as possible.
But no one buys it.
The truth of the matter is no longer important. The collapse of faith and the loss of professionalism by professional players are a heavy blow to the fans.
Especially fans like Zou Kai who have been with him all the way, experienced the peak and trough, and returned to glory. Everyone is cheering for him with their last breath, hoping that he can stand on the champion stage.
But now, that hope is shattered.
To be precise, the hopes they had placed on Ye Shengchuan were shattered.
Ye Shengchuan was eventually demoted. The club could not withstand the pressure of public opinion and had to punish him accordingly, including canceling his bonus, fining him three months' salary, and most importantly, banning him from the game for half a year.
This is a very serious consequence.
What does half a year mean? The e-sports world is changing rapidly, with many talented people emerging and fierce competition.
If he doesn't train for a day, he will lose his touch. If he is away from the high-intensity competition environment for such a long time, he will soon be useless.
This grand dream was eventually shattered.
Ye Shengchuan himself, the club that relied on Ye Shengchuan to solidify his fan base and generate revenue, and the fans who placed their spiritual faith in him...
"Lulu, why do I seem to be confused about this direction?"
Ji Xixi was originally worried about Jiang Ninglu, but she didn't expect things to take a turn for the worse, and a shining e-sports star fell just like that.
She was still thinking that if netizens continued to attack Jiang Ninglu, she would publish the news and pictures of Ye Shengchuan harassing her. Although others might not believe it and might even accuse her of freeloading, she had to give it a try.
This kind of garbage should stay in the trash can and not come out to harm people.
Who would have thought that Ye Shengchuan's rumored girlfriend would appear and suddenly carry the whole audience. After hitting her ex-boyfriend and the club, she spoke up for Jiang Ninglu, saying that she was grateful for helping her when she was at a loss and in trouble in Beijing.
"Why are you still involved with Ye Shengchuan's rumored girlfriend?"
Jiang Ninglu smiled slightly.
Although she had a vague feeling that the system would not cheat her, she did not expect it to turn out this way.
Is this the joy of winning without doing anything?
The author has something to say:
Ye Shengchuan: Weird!
The other three "junk": shivering.
Jiang Ninglu (innocent face): I really didn’t do anything~
