Chapter 1145: Press Conference

At the Tianyu Game Company press conference.

A group of reporters had been waiting here for over half an hour.

“Mr. Xu has arrived.”

Suddenly someone shouted.

Everyone instinctively looked in the direction of the voice to see Xu Shaochen accompanied by Long Yi and Long Er getting out of the car and walking briskly towards them.

The crowd grew excited.

Xu Shaochen stepped onto the temporarily set up podium, raising his hand slightly to signal everyone to quiet down.

Then he looked at everyone and said, “First of all, I must apologize to all of you for keeping you waiting because of my personal reasons. I’m truly sorry.”

“Clap clap clap…”

The reporters below collectively applauded.

“Okay, let’s get back to today’s main topic. I’m sure you’re all curious why I suddenly called this press conference.”

Xu Shaochen paused here, giving the reporters some time to think before he continued:

“Some of you might have guessed correctly, the theme today is about the recent online news smearing Tianyu.”

Wow! The moment Xu Shaochen finished speaking, the crowd below was in an uproar.

“We at Tianyu are a pure company, purely focused on making great games. But the advent of Virtual Reality Technology has touched some sensitive nerves.”

“They panicked, initially seeking my cooperation, attempting to buy the technology with money. I refused, as the Xu Corporation’s researchers even sacrificed their lives for it. I don’t think this technology can be measured by money.”

That was pure nonsense and sentimental exaggeration. Those researchers are alive and well on Paradise Island.

But at this moment, since Xu Shaochen said they died, then they were dead.

Some reporters suspected Xu Shaochen of forced sentimentality but no one exposed it.

After all, what they needed was news and headlines, and isn’t that exactly what Xu Shaochen provided?

Xu Shaochen continued after briefly questioning himself: “The answer is simple, I just wanted to contribute to my country’s development within my abilities.”

“Clap clap clap…”

Thunderous applause erupted again, praising Xu Shaochen’s sincere patriotism.

“Regarding the recent defamation incident, we have solid evidence against a certain individual or company. We will be suing soon, hoping for justice through the law.”

“Alright, let’s move into the open question session.”

As Xu Shaochen finished his words, the reporters below immediately surged forward.

“Okay, okay, calm down everyone. I’ll randomly select people to ask questions.”

This situation was anticipated by Xu Shaochen.

As soon as he said that, the once restless crowd calmed down.

After all, no matter how hard they tried to push forward, being randomly selected was what mattered.

“You, miss, do you have a question?”

Xu Shaochen pointed at a female reporter in a blue suit.

“Mr. Xu, can you reveal who exactly this certain individual or company is?”

Everyone looked at Xu Shaochen eagerly, clearly interested in this question.

“Of course. The company I mentioned is Penguin and the certain individual is Liao Zhou, the director of Penguin. If not for solid evidence, I wouldn’t believe Director Liao capable of such disgraceful acts, as I once idolized him.”

Xu Shaochen’s expression was a mixture of heartbreak and anger.

Why did he answer this question?

Because the reporter received his gift and he instructed her to ask it.

It’s just that simple.

Boom! Instantly, the crowd below erupted with joy. Big news! Big news!

“Mr. Xu, Director Liao has been a giant in the domestic gaming industry for years. Do you really have solid evidence against him?”

“Yes, Mr. Xu, can you show us the evidence?”

“Mr. Xu…”

The whole venue was suddenly in chaos as chatter filled the air.

“Quiet, quiet.”

Xu Shaochen shouted twice before the excited crowd slowly calmed down.

“I am an upright person. Just like today, I am suing Liao Zhou yet still holding a press conference beforehand to explain the facts.”

“You want to see the evidence? That’s no problem either.”

Xu Shaochen finished speaking, nodding to Long Yi not far away.

A few minutes later, a group of well-dressed people with extraordinary presence walked onto the stage.

Seeing these people caused a frenzy among the media below.

“That’s Zhao Dong from Flyplay Games.”

“And Ye Dong from ManJiangHong Games.”

“And…”

They were recognized immediately, having been interviewed by the media before.

Soon enough, it was noticed that these were all prominent figures in the domestic gaming industry.

Could these people be the evidence Xu Shaochen mentioned?

For a moment, the reporters’ hearts once again flared with excitement.

Xu Shaochen stepped aside, temporarily becoming a supporting role.

Why did he let these people come up?

To prevent them from backing out halfway.

They spoke upfront to the media. Once reported, if anyone retracted later, it wouldn’t hold much weight.

One representative spoke, detailing how Liao Zhou incited unethical media to slander Tianyu.

“Gosh, Liao Zhou seemed like a decent person. Who knew he could do such a thing?”

“This is a case of knowing the person but not the heart. Such disgraceful acts must be exposed!”

After hearing this, the reporters below were both excited and furious.

Their excitement was due to this being big news.

Their anger was due to Liao Zhou’s despicable actions.

Especially since many were eagerly awaiting the release of ‘Jianghu’.

As for the truth of what was said, no one doubted it.

After all, these were prominent figures speaking with cameras rolling, pointing directly at Liao Zhou. Collective defamation seemed unlikely.

“Ladies and gentlemen, today’s press conference concludes here. Next, Tianyu will officially sue Director Liao of Penguin.”

Finally, Xu Shaochen ended this simple yet successful press conference.
