Chapter 245: Undercurrent

After saying a few more words with Chen Qiao, Lu Yu hung up the phone.

In his memory, Penguin's development seemed never to have encountered a strong opponent.

Of course, Lu Yu wasn't an industry insider in his previous life, so he actually didn't know about some behind-the-scenes confrontations.

Perhaps Xiao Ma had directly killed the opponent's plan in its infancy?

Or perhaps Lu Yu brought the butterfly effect, turning things that never happened in history into reality.

Regardless, it's a fact that Penguin is now facing a challenge.

As for that, Lu Yu is not in a hurry.

Penguin's foundation is very stable, meaning its user base and user stickiness are the best among current social software.

Even if Hidden Dragon Technology invests more and grows bigger, it cannot possibly shake Penguin all at once.

People are creatures of habit; if Penguin doesn't bring trouble upon itself, there will be no problems.

Moreover, hasn't Lu Yu already had Grand's tech department start developing Adventure Island?

With Adventure Island, I believe Penguin's appeal to users will become even greater.

If... if Hidden Dragon Technology's momentum truly becomes too vast and its strength strong enough, Lu Yu also has a way.

Directly bring out more and better games, such as Dungeon & Fighter.

If that still doesn't work, Lu Yu will fly straight to Penguin Headquarters, where he will personally intervene.

With foresight from over a decade later, how could Lu Yu possibly fail?

Precisely for that reason, Lu Yu no longer cares about Hidden Dragon Technology.

……

The next day, Chen Qiao found Lu Yu.

"Hidden Dragon Technology will hold a press conference, and their headquarters is actually in Mo Du."

"In the morning, I received their invitation."

"I heard that Hidden Dragon Technology invited many companies this time; basically all prominent firms in the industry will send representatives."

"Should we also go take a look?"

Chen Qiao said to Lu Yu.

Lu Yu fell silent for a moment, then lightly nodded and said, "It just so happens I'm not busy lately; let's go together and take a look."

Although Lu Yu wasn't worried that Hidden Dragon Technology would surpass Penguin, he also didn't completely underestimate them.

Going to the press conference scene, perhaps we can learn more news about Hidden Dragon Technology in Mandarin.

"Okay, then I'll pick you up on Sunday and we'll go together," Chen Qiao said.

……

Sunday, second floor of the Mo Du hotel.

This is the venue of Hidden Dragon Technology's press conference.

Chen Qiao and Lu Yu had just stepped out of the car when they were immediately astonished by the sight before them.

On the hotel's first floor, a red carpet was laid out, with an unclear number of reporters on either side.

Looking at it this way, the scene resembles an awards ceremony, with countless stars attending.

Just this scale alone is enough to show how much Hidden Dragon Technology values this press conference.

"Director Chen, what do you think of Hidden Dragon Technology?"

"Do you know the behind-the-scenes boss of Hidden Dragon Technology?"

"Can you reveal something about Hidden Dragon Technology's background?"

Lu Yu and Chen Qiao originally wanted to enter the venue quietly, but a group of reporters stopped them.

The reporters kept raising questions.

Chen Qiao smiled, gave a perfunctory reply, and was about to shake off the reporters and enter the venue together with Lu Yu.

"Lu Yu, are you the behind-the-scenes boss of Moyuwangka?"

"I heard you're even the behind-the-scenes boss of Penguin."

"So, you came here to inquire about Hidden Dragon Technology's background?"

"Right, if you feel Hidden Dragon Technology poses a danger to Penguin, wouldn't you directly act against Hidden Dragon Technology?"

"Wasn't Moyuwangka previously threatened? Didn't you also easily knock down the opponent?"

"I heard your opponent is still a foreigner."

"Your energy is beyond imagination."

Suddenly, a reporter squeezed out of the crowd, pointed the microphone at Lu Yu, and fired questions like a barrage of shells.

For a moment, everyone at the scene fell silent.

This reporter's question is…… really surprising.

Nowadays, few people know that Lu Yu is Penguin's biggest shareholder; this news is enough to shock people.

But the most shocking thing is still the reporter's last few sentences.

Is Lu Yu's energy really that great?

Although these words didn't clearly express any particular meaning, the reporters present were so sharp that they immediately had some ideas.

Lu Yu's methods are heavenly; he can easily crush his opponents!

This actually isn't much, but what if we extend it further?

Should Lu Yu, who possesses such power, be subject to oversight?

If he's in a bad mood and lashes out randomly, wouldn't…… many innocent people suffer?

Yes, that reporter just said a few simple sentences, yet they can be extended into countless meanings and even cause a huge impact.

This is the power of language.

Lu Yu also thought of many things in an instant, and couldn't help furrowing his brow.

How could this reporter know that he is Penguin's biggest shareholder?

Why would he raise such a question at this time?

Is all this a coincidence?

Lu Yu felt it wasn't.

Today the scene was grand, with no shortage of reporters present.

So, if anything stirs today, it will surely spread throughout Mo Du in the shortest time, even nationwide.

Just this little incident just now, if Lu Yu doesn't handle it well, it's enough to get him into trouble.

So…

This reporter is targeting me!

Lu Yu made a judgment in an instant.

Then…

Lu Yu completely ignored the reporter, taking Chen Qiao directly into the venue.

Should we explain to reporters who want to cause trouble?

Your idea will only be misinterpreted, and the more you explain, the more it will be misinterpreted.

Better to not respond at all.

When Lu Yu and Chen Qiao entered the venue, the reporter couldn't help but curl the corner of his mouth, revealing a smug arc.

Today's mission is accomplished!

Although there is a slight difference from the expected result.

But as long as those words are spoken publicly to Lu Yu, I actually win.

Next, I can completely write such a report.

"Lu Yu, who hides his talents, just how much power does he hold in his hands?"

This will be a beginning.

After people's attention is drawn, perhaps he doesn't need to do anything else, and Lu Yu could be sent to the guillotine by some netizens.

…

At the same time, Lu Yu, who had entered the venue, couldn't help but his expression sank.

"I have already had someone investigate that reporter just now."

"The other side seems to have come prepared."

"Should we..."

After glancing at Lu Yu, Chen Qiao also couldn't help furrowing his brow, then looked ahead.

Chen Qiao suspected that the reporter was arranged by Hidden Dragon Technology.

At the very least, someone stands behind that reporter; otherwise, how could an ordinary reporter know so many secrets?

Moreover, no one can be sure whether anything else will happen next.

So, Chen Qiao then let Lu Yu leave first.
