The Huahai Entertainment conference room had an extremely dignified atmosphere.

On the projection screen, it was the interview video of the parents of the "self-harm student" on the hot search list.

In the video, it should be being reported by the local news media. Every sentence of the middle-aged woman pointed the finger at the three words "Ye Zhiqiu"...

In the conference room, Huahai Entertainment CEO Li Wenrui, Song Mei and other senior executives all had serious faces.

As the person involved, Ye Zhiqiu watched the interview clip in the video in astonishment, while being extremely speechless, he didn't know what it was like.

The parents in the video are really miserable, with such a flawed son.

That boy is also outrageous, addicted to online games to the point of poisoning.

In fact, situations like this boy in society are not uncommon, and it has also given birth to institutions such as "Internet Addiction School".

Because of his obsession with the news of online game accidents, Ye Zhiqiu had seen many of them in his previous life, but he never expected that it would fall on him in this way.

Although he felt sympathy for the other party, after watching the video, Ye Zhiqiu felt very uncomfortable.

——It can also depend on me! ?

As soon as the video ended, Song Mei, who was out of breath, said angrily, "Shameless!"

"This child is obviously a family education problem, and he actually blames others!"

"There is no distinction between right and wrong! According to this, if I eat fish and get stuck in a fishbone, I can blame the fish farmer!"

Many people in the conference room agreed, and some remained silent, their faces still dignified.

"Because the person who 'raises fish' is Ye Zhiqiu, that's enough..."

Marketing Director Wu Qingming said with a wry smile: "I've read the comments on the Internet, and some of them are people who don't understand what's going on, because the words 'online games, addiction' are directly scolded."

"There is also a large part of the scolding out of the mentality of following the trend and hating the rich. After all, the game "Zhu Xian" is too popular and too profitable."

After Wu Qingming finished speaking, the meeting room fell silent again.

Song Mei also looked unwilling, of course she understood this truth, but as a manager, she knew Ye Zhiqiu's business behavior and character very well all the time, and this was the reason why she was most annoyed.

"Well, since things have happened, facing the problem is the first priority."

Li Wenrui said in a deep voice, "How is that kid doing?"

"There is nothing serious about her body." Song Mei took a deep breath and said, "I was sent to the hospital immediately, and the treatment was timely."

"Compared with the body, the psychological problems may be more serious, and the personality is already very distorted."

Li Wenrui nodded, and then asked, "Have you contacted Penguin Games?"

"We have already communicated." Someone in the audience immediately responded, "The approval and launch of the game are in compliance with the regulations. All players need to be 18 years old for identity verification."

"The student stole the account registered with his parents' ID card."

Li Wenrui nodded, and the people below continued to report the situation.

"This student's home is a small business, and the conditions are not too bad, but it should be that his parents don't take much care of him, and his performance in school is usually poor."

"It is said that I have been addicted to online games for two or three years, but this time I happened to play a game related to Zhiqiu, and such a thing happened."

"I think..." The reporter paused for a moment, then said: "This matter is not that simple, there should be pushers behind it, or at least they have been guided by someone."

"The incident happened a week ago, and it only broke out now, and the first point of the finger was not the game company itself, but Zhiqiu. This is too far-fetched..."

Everyone was silent, knowing that this situation was not impossible.

Ye Zhiqiu's recent popularity and traffic have touched too many people's cakes.

If we were to talk about who most hoped for Ye Zhiqiu's downfall, the major entertainment companies would definitely be on the list.

Perhaps there are some so-called "cultural people" in the literary world who feel offended.

In addition to Ye Zhiqiu's sharp-edged image, many people like it, but invisibly also established a lot of potential "black fans".

"Not seeing others' goodness" is the evil in human nature.

When you write a novel that sells a lot of copyright and earns a lot of money, it may hurt some people's self-esteem;

Your excellence will be sought after by many people, but it will also make more people fall into a state of self-envy.

From the perspective of human nature, people will not be jealous of the weak, but they will not be stingy to give sympathy, but they will be jealous of those who are better than themselves.

It boils down to one sentence, that is, "there are many people who are popular right and wrong"!

Li Wenrui continued to ask: "How is the public opinion on the Internet now?"

Someone in the audience kept refreshing the interfaces of various mainstream social media and news media, looked up and smiled wryly: "It's not good."

"There are a lot of comments that are not clear about the situation, and they scold when they come up, and a few rational speeches will soon sink."

There was another discussion in the conference room. Huahai Entertainment has a dedicated public opinion monitoring and response department, but there is no better way to deal with this situation.

But one thing is clear, Ye Zhiqiu, the person involved, should not speak up, let alone respond directly to the vexatious family.

Now is the time when "people's anger is overwhelming", Ye Zhiqiu says everything is wrong, but if he speaks out, the other party is more likely to hit the snake with the stick.

But it doesn’t work if you don’t respond. Even if you have the “reason”, you are still impeccable from the legal level, but it is a fact that Ye Zhiqiu is inextricably linked to the game "Zhu Xian".

Especially when there was a lot of turmoil on the Internet, many rumors had already surfaced, which had a great impact on Ye Zhiqiu's reputation.

Think about this position, if you don't occupy it, it will be occupied by others.

Looking at the public opinion environment on the Internet today, the same is true.

The way most people obtain information comes from the Internet, and it is often difficult to distinguish between true and false information.

For the purpose of suppressing competitors, some intentional guidance may easily make the masses have preconceived prejudices about things. Now we have seen some signs. If this matter is allowed to ferment, the consequences will be disastrous.

In this regard, Huahai Entertainment means to issue a statement in the name of the company, which is also the safest way.

Some executives also asked whether it is necessary to give the other party some financial compensation, which may calm things down.

This proposal was rejected in the end, not because of money, but because of principle.

Maybe you are out of good intentions, but in the eyes of outsiders who don't know the situation, it is very likely to be a different scene.

——Since you are right, why give money?If you give money, does it mean you have a guilty conscience?

If you open your mouth out of pity this time, and you will be responsible for all accidents caused by indulging in online games in the future, what should you do?

At the end of the meeting, Song Mei rubbed the center of her brows wearily, and said to Ye Zhiqiu: "We should stop our business activities recently."

"Let's wait until this matter is over."
