Chapter 1016: Zhou Shen's appearance is meant to do something big!
Upon hearing this, Wei Zijing shrugged: "No rush. Let him shout a little louder. The louder he shouts, the faster he'll die. Let's continue eating."
Seeing that he wasn't in a hurry, the others didn't say anything.
"Let me see what he's up to!" Gu Hua was a little curious, so she took out her phone and started searching.
"Wow, this person actually has 100,000 followers? But it's not trending on the hot search list, it's just a small group of fans making a fuss."
As Gu Hua spoke, she began to look through Lin Xu's competition results.
"This person's performance is impressive; they even won an individual award at the World Championships!"
Wei Zijing nodded upon hearing this: "Yes, that's why I spent a lot of money to poach him when I heard he was leaving his original team. Who would have thought he'd turn out like this? I've seen plenty of capable but temperamental people, but I've never seen anyone like him before. What a waste of his talent! In the three days he's been here, he's made my team miserable! We have brand recognition and achievements. Instead of using this time to work hard and take it a step further, he wants to take on all sorts of advertising deals. What do I need from him? I offered him the highest price of everyone! Much more than those advertising deals. At this crucial moment, instead of thinking about how to achieve results, he's just messing around!"
"How much did you open?" Gu Yin asked curiously.
“Based on his performance, he should have received around 20 million, but I gave him 30 million. The top performer only received 50 million. His ability is far inferior to that person’s.”
"This is really profitable!!!" Gu Shu thought of the athletes in his club; the value of e-sports players was indeed much higher.
"Let's ignore him for now, let him make a fuss for a bit, and then we'll continue eating."
An hour later, when everyone had almost finished eating, Wei Zijing began to deal with the online public opinion.
Everyone in the esports circle knows that Lin Xu was poached by Wei Zijing, but what the contract entails is unclear.
So when Lin Xu's fans revealed that Lin Xu had been forced to sign various advertisements just a few days later, many players started to protest.
"How can you be so short-sighted as not to properly nurture a talented esports player?"
"The contract has been released, and it mentions a high price, but who knows the specifics?"
"This way of eating is rather unsightly."
"Only Lin Xu's fans are making a fuss. Wei Zijing himself hasn't even shown up yet. We can't just listen to one side's statement. Besides, Lin Xu is capable, but his character is well-known in the industry..."
"So what if someone has a big temper? Isn't that normal? Nobody's perfect! You can't expect someone to be both capable and good-tempered! They say geniuses are on the left and madmen are on the right, it's perfectly normal!"
"Are the fans obsessed?! How can W, the god of esports, be so humble? He's the captain, yet he's not as arrogant as Lin Xu, who's just filling in for another player. It's hilarious!"
"I'm taking W God with me. W God is busy preparing for the Winter International Tournament, so I'm not inviting my former teammates!"
"This 'W God,' why does he seem so familiar? Is he from our company?" Gu Yin asked Gu Shu.
She remembered that when Li Li and his team formed an e-sports team, there was someone named W God.
Gu Shu: "...I don't know either, let me ask."
He then took out his phone and asked Li Li.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Shu nodded: "It's from the company. This Lin Xu used to work for our company, but because his character wasn't good, we had him let go because he was a bad influence on others."
Wei Zijing: "...If I had known about this relationship, I would never have done something so shameful! I'll offer tea instead of wine as an apology!"
Gu Yin smiled and shook her head upon hearing this: "It's not a big deal, I just didn't expect it to be such a coincidence."
The e-sports department was a separate department that Li Li set up from Gu Qinglang's side. She knew about it, but hadn't paid attention to it. She just didn't expect it to be done so well.
"Your team is relatively new, but you really have a knack for recruiting. Take W, for example. He was always overshadowed in other teams, but after joining your company, he immediately led the team to compete in various small tournaments. Once he qualified, he was directly registered for the tournament, all at the right time. Nobody had high hopes for you, but you guys were the most determined! You're amazing!"
At this point, he coughed lightly, leaned forward slightly, and whispered, "Hey, do you guys have any tips for judging people? Could you share them? I might not be that accurate at judging people."
Gu Yin: "...I don't know much about their recruitment, I wasn't involved. I'll give you Li Li's number, you can contact him and figure it out slowly?"
Wei Zijing knew Li Li, and upon hearing this, he immediately nodded: "I am extremely grateful!"
Now that the important business is over, it's time to deal with this little incident.
Wei Zijing took out his phone: "I've eaten, just need to take care of some small matters. This brat gets a little success and doesn't know his place. I value talent, but he's not someone to be trifled with!"
He then sent out the contract and details of what he had done here before.
"As for his claim of not being full, I don't even want to talk about it. Anyone who knows me knows that to ensure our employees always have food, we set up a restaurant on the first floor of the building. We don't take orders; it only serves our employees and my friends. As for the restaurant's ingredients, see the picture below. When you first came, I explained the restaurant's rules to you, and you only ate there once. After that, you've been eating out all the time. Everyone was willing to give you chicken since you love it, but since you don't come, we stopped waiting. But today, you came and started harassing my friend, yelling and shouting. My friend didn't say anything because I hired you, but you still started attacking people. Aren't you going too far? Do you deserve to be kicked out?"
"I'm exhausted from typing so much!"
Xiao Sheng poured him a glass of water: "Just let the public relations department handle it. Why are you going up there yourself?"
After finishing his water, Wei Zijing said, "If it were anyone else, I definitely wouldn't go up there myself, but you're friends, so I have to show up. The public relations department will handle it afterwards."
Originally, this was just a matter between Lin Xu and Wei Zijing, but Lin Xu seemed to think that Wei Zijing was not someone to be trifled with, so he posted a picture and started playing the victim.
"No matter what you say, it's all because you've found new people. I want to see if these guys can lead your lousy team to qualify for the competition! Even if they beg me to come back, I won't be soft-hearted!"
The photo clearly showed Wei Zijing and Gu Yin having a meal together.
Wei Zijing: "...When did this bastard take this picture?"
Gu Yin calmly replied, "When you were eating meat with your head down, looking so cool."
Wei Zijing: "...Didn't you say anything? If you had, he wouldn't be taking me out of the house!"
Gu Yin smiled and said, "It's alright, this isn't a bad thing for me either."
I just got back, and the school is recruiting students right away. There's free data available, so I might as well use it.
"Besides, if he posts this, he'll definitely be the one getting criticized."
Wei Zijing's eyes lit up when he thought of Gu Yin's identity, and he started scrolling through his phone.
Sure enough, as soon as the picture came out, even his own fans fell silent.
"......"
"Dude, how come you don't even recognize your former boss? Seriously, when you joined a company, didn't you ever check who your boss was?"
"Brother, the girl opposite Wei Zijing is named Zhou Guyin. The others are her family. I suggest you check her family tree and background information before you go online!"
"Pfft!! Hahaha!! What did he say? He said the person in the picture is a newcomer? Did I hear that right?"
"No wonder Wei Zijing was so angry. How could my friend not be angry?"
"Zhou Shen is going to play e-sports? Would Wei Zijing dare to take him on?"
"Hahaha, that's hilarious! Doesn't he ever read the news? That's impossible!"
"Speaking of which, Zhou Shen has appeared again, and that girl is next to her again. Is she up to something again?"
"Those people abroad are still watching, but the big boss doesn't seem to care and just goes about his business."
"So what's the plan this time? Those who have inside information, come out now!"
"They're here! As far as I know, they're definitely planning something big! Just be prepared to respond enthusiastically! Otherwise, you'll be the ones who regret it!"
"Great news! Fantastic news!"
......
Wei Zijing stopped reading at this point and looked up at Gu Yin: "Is what they're saying true?"
Gu Yin nodded slowly: "Which matter are you referring to?"
"Is it true that you're the one who's always up to something big the moment you show up?"
Gu Yin didn't intend to hide anything: "That's right, I've opened some special schools, and we'll start recruiting students after the New Year, open to children aged 3 to 20 from all over society."
Wei Zijing was surprised to hear this: "Are you recruiting apprentices? The kind that specializes in research? Where will you open the shop?"
Gu Yin smiled and shook her head: "It's not about studying research, it's about studying special abilities, or rather, superpowers, and things like Qimen Dunjia and Bagua."
"!!! What the heck?! Superpowers!! You mean those weird superpowers like those in the movies where you go whoosh whoosh whoosh?" Wei Zijing's eyes widened.
Gu Yin nodded and looked at Xiao Sheng: "Shall we show you?"
