The stage inside the stadium was a temporary structure, just a large open space.
The soundproof room was built at the innermost part of the stage, close to the large screen.
Through the transparent soundproof glass, the audience, who had formed a large circle around the room, could easily see the scene inside.
It's just that it's a bit far away, so it's not very clear.
Even if it's unclear, it's obvious to everyone that TOP seems to have had a conflict with the competition organizers.
What happened?
Just then, an enlarged face appeared on the big screen.
It was the face of a man with fairly decent looks, but at this moment he looked extremely disheveled.
His head, face, and even his neck and clothes were wet, and drops of water were still sliding down his short black hair.
Coupled with that blank, incredulous face, he looked quite pitiful.
Instantly, people identified him as a victim.
The scene instantly erupted in chaos.
"What...what's going on? Why are they suddenly fighting?"
"It looked like the staff member was discussing something with TOP. TOP seemed unwilling at first, but then the girl wearing a hat and mask came out, followed by four others. Then the girl poured mineral water on the staff member's head."
"Holy crap, doing this in public, with so many people watching, that's so audacious!"
"My dad is truly amazing! Crushing a water bottle with one hand is so cool! I've made up my mind, even though she's changed genders, she'll always be my dad!"
"Are you sick in the head? Don't you think that woman has character flaws? Who would resort to violence over a mere disagreement, especially something so humiliating!"
"There's nothing I can do. I've heard that many people who play esports are actually slackers. They didn't study at a young age, and they're good at everything: smoking, drinking, going to bars, and fighting. To put it bluntly, they're just hooligans. They just happen to be good at playing games, which is how they found their way out. Now their true nature has been revealed."
"Who the hell are you calling a hooligan?! When my father Qiong was famous, you were probably still eating shit somewhere!"
"See? See? Just like idols, so are their fans. They're all bastards who eat shit!"
"What bad luck! If it weren't for seeing my goddess, who would want to watch this trashy match!"
"Hey girl, have you forgotten that this competition was started by your goddess's nephew? He just wants to step on my Qiong Daddy Wan Shen to become famous, right? How dare you say such bullshit?"
"So what..."
"..."
The debate was in full swing, mainly between Jones's fans and Jiang Ruoyu's fans.
If it weren't for the people on the side blocking and keeping some distance, some of the more hot-tempered fans probably would have started fighting.
Even without a fight, the commotion was enough to attract the attention of the organizers.
As the son of the organizer, Jiang Haoming's already unpleasant expression due to losing the competition turned even more grim. He coldly ordered, "Bring the person who was splashed with water over and find out what happened."
The staff arrived quickly.
She hadn't even changed her clothes; she still looked soaking wet on camera.
I couldn't help but shiver when the air conditioning in the venue blew on me.
Jiang Haoming frowned deeply: "What happened?"
The staff member looked completely bewildered, and upon hearing this, he shuddered violently before recounting the incident in a voice trembling with tears.
Of course, omitting his insults, he said that the other party was angry and called him at the last minute, wanting more money. They couldn't reach an agreement and started arguing, and then he was splashed with mineral water.
Jiang Haoming frowned deeply and snorted coldly, "One million is not enough? You've got quite the nerve."
He glanced at the disheveled staff member, softened his tone slightly, and said, "Go wash up and change your clothes first. Don't worry, I will get justice for you."
His gaze sharpened: "My Jiang family members are not for outsiders to bully!"
The staff member immediately thanked them repeatedly while leaving, deeply moved.
Jiang Haoming zipped his team uniform up to the top and stood up: "Let's go, let's go meet this audacious Jones."

Qin Sheng was still wearing a mask.
It's not that I want to hide my identity or anything, it's just that it's too much trouble.
It's bound to trend on social media again and spark another discussion.
Especially with Jiang Ruoyu on the other side, once she showed her face, things got even more complicated.
But in reality, even if you don't show your face, you won't avoid much trouble.
Qin Sheng realized that she must be the legendary troublemaker, causing trouble wherever she goes.
Upon stepping back onto the stage, he was immediately blocked by Jiang Haoming.
He said in a cold voice, "I won't force you to do anything more. Just apologize to the staff, and this matter will be over."
Jiang Haoming narrowed his eyes: "Otherwise..."
Qin Sheng lifted her eyelids: "How is it?"
Jiang Haoming stared at her for a moment, then chuckled, "Looks like you're unwilling."
Qin Sheng withdrew her gaze and continued forward, passing him.
Jiang Haoming pursed his lips, stopped bothering Qin Sheng, and turned to walk backstage.
A few minutes later.
The large screen went dark for a moment, then suddenly lit up again, and the image on the screen had completely changed.
This is the situation after the staff entered the soundproof room after the first game ended.
Because the large screen behind them displays the battle situation in real time, both teams' seats are arranged with their backs to the screen.
In other words, the five members of the TOP team were facing the audience, while the staff were facing away.
The footage was captured by high-definition cameras inside the venue, resulting in high-quality and clear images.
Viewers could even clearly see Wan Feng's furrowed brows shortly after the staff went in.
What followed was Qin Sheng's indifference, the indifference of Po Tian and the other two, and finally, and most importantly, Qin Sheng stuffed the check into his pocket, then crushed a mineral water bottle and poured the rest of the contents onto the staff.
The scene abruptly ends there.
It's only a little over four minutes long, but no matter how you look at it, it's clearly the TOP side, especially Jones, who is unilaterally bullying the staff.
So... incredibly arrogant?
The audience was speechless.
Jiang Ruoyu had already been informed of the cause and course of events. Now, seeing the stunned audience, she immediately gave the equally astonished host a wink.
The host suddenly snapped back to reality.
He composed himself, his voice tinged with anger: "As the host, my rational thought is that I should smooth things over and move on from this, but as a fellow staff member at the event, I can't pretend nothing happened."
He gripped the microphone tightly and looked at Qin Sheng: "Ms. Jones, I'd like to ask, do you have anything else to explain about this matter?"
He paused, then said firmly, "If not, I hope that you, and the members of the TOP team behind you, will apologize to the gentleman you splashed mineral water on."
Um.
Another apology.
fine.
