I Transmigrated into a Book and Became the Real Rich Daughter's Pampered Cousin

303 Tool

Big Brother Le’s worries were not groundless. After he mentioned this to Zhai Jing, Zhai Jing said that the problem had already appeared.

“Why didn’t you tell me?” Le Wan noticed that Zhai Jing didn’t show any signs of worry when he was playing these days. She was afraid that Zhai Jing would tell her the good news but not the bad news. She asked with concern,

“Is this matter serious?”

Zhai Jing didn’t insist that there would be no problems. He said frankly,

“It’s not a big deal, but it’s not a small deal either. For now, there shouldn’t be any major problems.”

As one of the internet giants, it was impossible for Dahong Corporation to not notice the public opinion on the internet. In addition to the feedback from customer service, there were indeed more problems related to underaged in-game purchases.

The conflict between the game and the parents had been going on for a long time, but so far, it was still at the stage where the public was right and the parents were right. Even though the parents complained, their children still played what they should play, and the game company was still making a fortune.

Recently, the emergence of “Carefree Journey” had set off a hurricane among young people. It was as if overnight, the young people who had never played this game had become unsociable.

There had always been a three-way stand in the domestic game market, but when this game made its entrance, not only did it break the situation, but it even showed signs of overtaking the other three companies.

Therefore, “A Carefree Journey” naturally became a thorn in the flesh of many people. They criticized it for all kinds of things, both good and bad.

This was also the reason why Lin Hui was so insistent on pushing Zhai Jing, the behind-the-scenes designer, to the front of the stage, making him live-stream and making him famous.

This was because Zhai Jing was the top scorer in the province. The Halo of being a top student could offset many parents’ resistance to the game to a large extent.

Zhai Jing was clearly aware of this as well. Hence, he wasn’t willing to accept Lin Hui’s arrangements and manipulation completely. It would only waste his own value.

To the game company, as long as they were willing to pay, they were good customers. Therefore, the underaged group was like honey because they were the most easily bewitched and the most impulsive to spend. However, it was also arsenic. Because minors were too protected, if they did something wrong, it was easy to cause a backlash from parents. They would be warned by the relevant departments and faced with reform.

As such, even though the competition in the gaming industry was intense, there was a tacit understanding between the two parties regarding the issue of “underage”. They would try their best to weaken the topic of “underage” before the public and not use this topic to attack each other. Otherwise, if things got out of hand, it would be a huge loss to both parties.

However, in the past few days, this topic had suddenly become more popular. Moreover, the main signs were still targeted at the game, Carefree Journey, and Zhai Jing, the designer.

Dahong Corporation discovered this problem and had to pay attention to it. After investigating, they found that there was indeed someone behind it, but they had not found out who the culprit was.

The game company’s higher-ups had also held two meetings to discuss this issue. The current idea was to wait for a while. As long as the other party didn’t make any fatal moves, they could suppress the popularity and adopt a cold treatment method to muddle through.

This was the norm for the game company. However, to Zhai Jing, who was standing in front of the stage, a single mistake could lead to a devastating blow.

Le Wan frowned. “They’re too cunning.”

To think that she had even praised Lin Hui for being magnanimous and not oppressing others. Those who were in love would understand very well that he was purely treating Zhai Jing as a tool. He could be pushed out to block the bullet at any time and be a tool to take the blame. Naturally, he wouldn’t care about his status.

As expected, how could a person who could stand out under Ren Rong, who had many talents, be an ordinary person?

Le Wan admitted that she had been too hasty in agreeing to let Zhai Jing do a live broadcast. She looked at Zhai Jing apologetically.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t think it through.”

Zhai Jing reached out and pinched her little nose.

“What does this have to do with you? I agreed to the live broadcast because I had my own considerations.”

Zhai Jing could tell very clearly that for an ordinary high school student like him who had no money or power, the only thing of value about him was that he had a little bit of talent. However, in this era where college students were everywhere, where would there be indispensable talents?
