Chapter 333: Li Beijue's Chain of Schemes

The conference room was silent; almost everyone was waiting for Jiang Baobao's answer.

Jiang Baobao, however, was unconcerned. She sat down casually in a chair and asked with a smile, "Do you think I look like the type of person who would go out of their way to provoke others?"

"Of course not!" Lao K answered first, and the rest of them immediately nodded in agreement.

Shen Lingfeng, however, asked with concern, "So what exactly happened? You should explain it clearly to everyone first so we can be at ease, and then we can discuss how to handle the PR for the next step. If things go on like this, it really will be bad for our Team's image..."

"Will there be losses?" Jiang Baobao asked with a smile.

Shen Lingfeng shook his head helplessly: "It's not about losses, it's just that this is our first competition since returning to the country, and we are being watched closely from all sides. If we establish such an arrogant image now, and if we really lose a match, I'm afraid we'll be mocked... excessively."

"Of course there will be wins and losses in competition. Which one of them hasn't been mocked since they were young?"

Jiang Baobao smiled, her gaze sweeping across the faces of the team members one by one.

No one is born a genius.

Even these players on the team who were at the height of their careers had once struggled through major competitions, enduring countless mockeries, and their hearts had long since been tempered to be indestructible.

Sure enough, Ke Hao was the first to wave his hand dismissively, saying unhurriedly: "Being mocked is nothing. Who in the competitive scene hasn't been mocked? Why bother arguing with those keyboard warriors?"

"Exactly, if they have the ability, let them come compete," Ano chimed in.

Xiao Ding, however, was not focused on the competition at all. He looked at Jiang Baobao with an anxious face and urged: "So what is this about a bet! Boss, you still haven't explained it clearly!"

"That's right! Boss, stop changing the subject and explain things clearly first!" Ano immediately echoed.

Just then, Mumu, who had been silent the whole time, walked past the others and sat down in front of Jiang Baobao, saying in a low voice: "Go ahead."

The room was quiet for a moment.

Everyone looked at each other, ran over to sit by the conference table, and exchanged glances.

In the entire Team, besides Brother Shen, the only one who dared to talk to the boss like that was Mumu!

Brother Mumu is mighty!

Upon hearing this, Jiang Baobao sighed. Seeing that she couldn't avoid it after all, she had no choice but to helplessly explain what happened during the drawing of lots.

No sooner had she finished speaking than someone slammed the table with a bang!

"That grandson Shen Yi! He actually wanted to delete your account! It was clearly him who provoked first, and now he's running to the internet to stir up trouble! As if we're the ones who are arrogant!"

Xiao Ding was full of anger, and the more he spoke, the more annoyed he became. After finishing, he slammed the table heavily again.

Ke Hao also stood up while saying: "I'll go check the IP address of that post right now and see where it was posted from..."

"Everyone sit down!" Jiang Baobao hadn't expected the two of them to be so impulsive, and her tone was uncharacteristically stern.

Ke Hao and Xiao Ding immediately sat back in their original seats obediently.

Jiang Baobao swept a speechless glance at the two of them before asking unhurriedly: "Are you confident about winning the first match?"

"Of course!" everyone answered in unison.

Jiang Baobao nodded with satisfaction: "I have confidence in you all too, but the opponent is the runner-up from last year after all. Your most important task right now is to seize the time to practice well. Leave other matters to me and your Brother Shen. I won't take this lying down for nothing!"

"What do you plan to do?" Shen Lingfeng asked immediately upon hearing this.

Jiang Baobao pondered for two seconds before saying unhurriedly: "It's easy, of course. The office where the drawing took place has surveillance the whole time. The person who posted and the one who posted the video in the thread both claim to know staff members and friends related to the competition, so can't we know people too?"

"Surveillance footage of the drawing cannot be released casually."

Shen Lingfeng suddenly frowned deeply, looking at Jiang Baobao with some disapproval.

Jiang Baobao hurriedly waved her hand: "What are you thinking? Since he can make up stories, we can certainly do the same. And we aren't making it up; we're just... restoring what happened that day. As for the rest... I'll make Shen Yi have to play along whether he wants to or not!"

As she spoke, Jiang Baobao raised an eyebrow and said unhurriedly: "What did that post say about me? Something about being arrogant and looking down on others? Then I'll make that reputation a reality so they'd better not come to provoke me in the future!"

"This..." The expression on Shen Lingfeng's face was still somewhat hesitant.

But Xiao Ding, who was on the side, stood up and slapped the table again: "Cool! Boss! I admire this attitude of yours! So what if we're arrogant? We have the strength! If you were a man, you would have already entered the e-sports circle, won countless championships, and attracted countless fans!"

"Exactly!" the others immediately agreed.

"Alright, alright, no need to over-exaggerate..." Jiang Baobao was left between laughter and tears by them. She waved her hand helplessly: "It's rare for you all to get up so early. Either go get some more sleep or go eat and prepare for the afternoon training. I still have recordings to finish watching..."

Before Jiang Baobao could finish her sentence, she saw Mumu suddenly throw his phone in front of her.

"What's wrong?"

Jiang Baobao was slightly stunned and looked down.

The next second, she heard Ke Hao beside her say: "Boss, the abusive content in those posts from earlier has all been deleted! And... it seems like there are a lot more of our fans, but these people look like alt accounts no matter how you look at them? It looks like someone deliberately bought internet trolls... Now there are even more people scolding us..."

"Damn..."

Jiang Baobao couldn't help but curse.

This move was too underhanded, wasn't it?

First, he stirred up trouble to paint her as arrogant, and now he was self-directing and acting, deleting posts and buying trolls, making it look like she couldn't hold back!

Jiang Baobao speechlessy opened the forum and, sure enough, saw that the homepage had suddenly gained quite a few posts, all scolding her for being insidious and a sore loser; the more she deleted posts, the more people wanted to scold her.

Jiang Baobao took a deep breath, finally unable to help feeling a bit angry.

That Shen Yi, as a man, was truly insidious and petty!

He had no e-sports spirit at all and only knew how to pull these little stunts!

A trace of intense annoyance flashed in Jiang Baobao's eyes. Just as she was pondering, she suddenly heard a clattering sound of keyboard typing in her ear.

She snapped back to reality and saw that Ke Hao had taken his laptop from somewhere and was already rapidly checking the code of various posts.

Not long after, he suddenly said in confusion: "That's not right. The people who posted at the beginning and the trolls that have appeared now are not the same group."
