Chapter 193: #193 - A grand funeral

Fei Zhiyuan's angry shout…

Wasn't asking what that employee's name was.

But asking who was directing all of this from behind the scenes!

In the Jinghu office building of Zhumeng, Xu Meng was also stunned.

This time it had nothing to do with him.

Out of curiosity, he asked Song Zhicheng to find out if this person was acting on their own initiative, or if they had been turned, or if they were a mole from the start.

But Song Zhicheng just glanced at her and said, "She's Wen Jing, a mole from Fourth Dimension Games, we know each other."

"Back in June, when Moyu Games targeted us, it was her who provided the evidence."

"So, what she said is all true?" Xu Meng asked in surprise.

"It should be, let me ask." Song Zhicheng took out his phone and sent a private message to ask.

In just over ten seconds, he received a reply.

"It's indeed true, that Shingo Hashimoto used to be a molester, he was released after serving his sentence. But he didn't stay at Moyu Company for long, as soon as he was discovered, he was immediately fired and sent back to Izumo."

"Moyu Games later went to find those female employees who had resigned, hoping they would return, but they all refused."

"In the end, Moyu could only give each of them a compensation fee to settle the matter."

"Awesome." Xu Meng sighed in admiration.

The "Mirror World Story" project team is truly full of "talents" in every sense of the word…

Little assistant Chen Mengling sincerely praised, "Director Song is really amazing!"

— Having wide connections is only one aspect.

He is a legitimate mole, and he is willing to tell you his identity and detailed information as soon as you ask. How much trust is that?

Xu Meng also slowly realized:

Song Zhicheng's years of floundering in the game industry were by no means a waste of life.

His somewhat stubborn personality and dislike of scheming tactics, although made him not very successful, also earned him a good reputation.

Colleagues who have worked with him all have a good impression of him.

He has many friends in private, making it much easier for him to find out information than others.

"So, Fourth Dimension Games has also entered the fray."

Xu Meng nodded in summary.

— He started the series of unfortunate events that Moyu Games encountered, and he also released the key evidence and information.

But to say that he was constantly monitoring the development of the situation, paying attention to players' attitudes, and even helping to hire water armies, buy hot searches, and raise popularity…

He couldn't take care of that.

It was already the end of October, "King of War" was about to be released, and the entertainment and official matches of the Blazing Flame Challenge were about to begin.

He knew the priorities very well—

It was okay to give Moyu a few hard hits to enjoy himself, but it was impossible to keep an eye on it all the time.

But those things that he didn't do, and didn't ask Song Zhicheng, Chen Mengling, and Xiao Meng to do, other friendly companies eagerly came forward and did those things for them.

They even did it better and invested more money than Zhumeng!

It seemed that they wanted Moyu to die even more than Xu Meng did!

Now the industry leader has begun to enter the arena, and directly played a trump card, performing a wonderful scene of "company internal employees exposing themselves".

The lethality is even more explosive!

The netizens in the comment area were all outraged.

"If you ask me, don't bother with any apologies, just disband the company."

"Now, what are your thoughts?" Fei Zhiyuan asked Gong Feng and the public relations team.

Gong Feng said with some difficulty: "I think… the project team should collectively appear to apologize, the company should explain to the public that the 'Mirror World Story' team has been reorganized, I will take the blame and resign, end the test early, and give players a full refund."

This was the only way Gong Feng could think of.

Without making a major rectification with a ruthless heart, it is impossible to quell such a big public opinion storm.

To this end, he even made up his mind to sacrifice himself as well.

—As long as the company survives the crisis, and "Mirror World Story" is still there, he will still have a chance.

But Fei Zhiyuan shook his head and denied: "No!"

The cost invested by the company is already too high, too high. If we refund the money like this, Moyu will instantly turn from making a lot of money to a huge loss!

A loss that will make them vomit blood!

Now, the worse the situation of "Mirror World Story" is, the more unclear the prospect is, the less he wants to refund the money.

"Anything else is fine, but closing the server and refunding the money are not allowed."

"If there are players who complain, then refund whoever complains."

—There are indeed many players who apply for a refund, but the number of players who can really complete the complaint and report process and force Moyu Games to refund is actually a drop in the bucket compared to all players.

Even if many people are instigated, this ratio will not exceed 5% of all players.

"Don't be in a hurry to resign and run away, first announce to the public that you are on unpaid leave. It's just mismanagement, it's not enough to drive you to extinction."

Gong Feng sighed and replied: "Okay, I understand."

Next was to record an apology video and write an announcement to announce the reorganization of the team and the suspension of the project leader with pay.

In the past, the person in charge would take the lead, and the project team would collectively appear to apologize.

It can definitely be said that the attitude of admitting mistakes is good, and it is very sincere.

But unfortunately—

"Where's your boss?!"

"Where's Fei Zhiyuan?!"

"When Zhumeng Games has a small bug, the boss personally comes out to bow and apologize! Your company has so many problems, it's almost rotten to the core, and the boss doesn't show up, but pushes the employees out to take the blame??"

"Where's your face?!"

"Forget it, don't bother apologizing, just hurry up and go bankrupt!"

The male and female players who were arguing before have reached a united front and want Moyu Games to pay the price—preferably explode on the spot.

The newest novels are first published on !

But Moyu Games is a big company, how can it go bankrupt so easily?

Fei Zhiyuan didn't even care about those words cursing the company to "go bankrupt".

On the contrary, those who asked him to personally apologize and confess made his blood pressure rise!

"Why should I come forward to apologize?"

"Shingo Hashimoto and Yoshimori Okamoto were hired by Gong Feng, the subordinates were promoted by Gong Feng, and the model photography work was also Gong Feng's responsibility…"

"Now that there's a problem, I'm supposed to take the blame?!"

It has always been the subordinates taking the blame for the leaders, how can the leaders take the blame for the subordinates instead?!

Fei Zhiyuan felt as disgusted as if he had eaten a fly.

The more he looked at the comment area, the more annoyed he became.

He simply closed the webpage, turning a blind eye to it.

But at the same time as closing the webpage, an office email was also forwarded to his mailbox, the email title was—

[Notice of Order to Stop the Second Test of 'Mirror World Story']

The sender was: [News and Publication Administration].

Fei Zhiyuan's hand holding the mouse suddenly trembled a few times.

He subconsciously took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled, trying to calm down.

Unfortunately, he failed.

He couldn't calm down at all!

Something big has happened!

Fei Zhiyuan realized.

He did a lot of mental preparation before finally clicking on this email.

The content of the email completely extinguished his fluke mentality—

The notice informed Moyu Games:

"Mirror World Story" has "pornographic and vulgar content" and "shocking scale", and contains "obscene elements for minors", which "is extremely easy to cause serious negative impact on the physical and mental health of teenagers", "completely does not meet the approval standards".

And emphasized—

"'Mirror World Story' completely does not meet the conditions for paid testing. It is called paid testing, but it is actually operating without approval", "suspected of illegal operation", "causing extremely bad impact on the industry".

Final ruling:

"Mirror World Story" will be taken offline immediately and the test will be stopped, the illegal income will be confiscated, and a fine of 18 million will be imposed.

Fei Zhiyuan was stunned there, his eyes looking at the last line of the signature, but his brain was almost blank.

The only sentence left was:

"Why is this happening????"

Vulgar?

Scale?

But… isn't the scale of Zhumeng's "Frost Snow Project" not low either? The second review was passed on the same day, wasn't it?

They have already started touching the characters, and you don't ask or care!

Isn't this encouraging us to let go and do it?

Fei Zhiyuan thought very well—the superiors encourage it, so you can let go and do it, and there is room for negotiation in some vague areas.

This is the important confidence that he dares to engage in "paid testing" in a big way.

But if the game can't even pass the "review" stage…

Then all the subsequent operations are seriously in violation of regulations!

This time, he is really going to lose money to his grandma's house!

And whether "Mirror World Story" can be modified and re-approved, and whether the money-making effect after approval can still be so prominent… have all become unknown.

Is it necessary to continue investing money and try to modify it?

Or let the game die violently and grit your teeth to accept failure?

Fei Zhiyuan felt like he was going to vomit blood just thinking about it.

But blessings never come in pairs, and misfortunes never come alone. The marketing director quickly ran over with another document—

"Boss, the Market Supervision Administration has issued a document requiring us to refund users!"

"?" A question mark appeared on Fei Zhiyuan's head.

While requiring to refund users, they also want to confiscate the illegal income and pay a fine of 18 million?

He leaned back, his whole body slumped into the boss's chair, and he lost the strength to even speak.

At 6 pm, "Mirror World Story" released a shutdown announcement and went offline in a hurry.

Only half an hour later, players came to the downstairs of Moyu Games company and lit a string of 3,000 firecrackers!

The crackling sound of explosions lasted for a long time.

It was as lively as a funeral.

Asking for monthly tickets!
