Chapter 334: Li Beijue's Good Intentions Lead to Bad Results

"What do you mean?" The others were stunned upon hearing this.

Ke Hao didn't stop moving his hands; while clattering away at his keyboard, he replied, "Both of these IP addresses are within the city, but they are very far apart. The person who posted first was at an internet cafe, but that internet cafe is right near the Shadow Training Base, so there's basically no need to doubt that it's their people stirring up trouble. However, the internet water army that suddenly popped up to delete posts and show support is... from a specialized studio. As far as I know, this kind of studio only works for money, and... they serve high-end, large corporations. It seems... someone is helping us behind the scenes?"

After Ke Hao finished speaking, Xiao Ding, who was sitting next to him, instantly revealed an expression of disbelief.

"My god... can you hackers know everything? Does that mean if I bought underwear of a certain color online yesterday, you know it clearly too!"

As Xiao Ding said this, he suddenly covered his chest, pretending to be terrified as he looked Ke Hao up and down.

Ke Hao instantly picked up a pen from his side and threw it over: "Who is interested in your underwear! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll screenshot your shopping history and post it online for your fans to see!"

"Pfft..." Jiang Baobao couldn't help but be amused by these two clowns, then immediately hurried to regain her serious demeanor and said helplessly: "You guys hurry up and do your own work, stop messing around here!"

"Do you really not need our help?" the others asked, feeling uneasy.

Jiang Baobao shook her head without hesitation: "Really, no need. I can still handle this little matter myself. Ke Hao, send me the PR company you just found; I want to see what the situation is."

"Alright." As Ke Hao said this, he sent all the intelligence he had found to Jiang Baobao, and the group then left together.

In the conference room, only Shen Lingfeng and Jiang Baobao were left in an instant.

Shen Lingfeng said with concern: "Regarding this matter... why not just leave it to me to solve? Given your personality..."

"What's wrong with my personality? After all these years, do you still not understand what kind of temper I have?"

Jiang Baobao interrupted him with a laugh, then seeing his hesitant expression, she hurriedly nodded to comfort him: "Alright, I know you don't want us to make too many enemies just after returning to the country, but they've bullied us right to our doorstep and look down on me for being a woman; how can I just swallow my pride? It's just that having someone inexplicably help us delete the posts... actually isn't a good thing..."

As Jiang Baobao spoke, she shook her head helplessly and casually looked at the PR company Ke Hao had just sent her.

Only then did she discover that the other party's background was not simple.

This was not an ordinary entertainment industry PR company.

It was a PR company that handled external affairs for major multinational listed enterprises; compared to those focused on the entertainment industry, they were simply worlds apart.

Jiang Baobao's eyes flickered for a moment as she quickly searched for the company's information on the web and successfully found their official website.

Upon seeing the list of partners, her eyes suddenly widened. She was surprised at first, then revealed an expression that was both annoyed and helpless.

So it was him!

Li Corporation.

Li Beijue was sitting behind his office desk, listening to Assistant Chen's report.

"President Li, the PR side has handled it almost completely. All the abusive posts have been deleted, and for those with excessively abusive remarks, we have contacted the forum management to ban the accounts and have added some posts supporting the Star Team."

"Mm, well done. In the future, if there is anything like this, report it to me in time and then handle it." Li Beijue nodded with satisfaction while listening.

"Yes, President Li." Assistant Chen agreed immediately.

After all, the Li Corporation had injected a large amount of investment into Jiang Baobao's team, so there had always been dedicated staff monitoring their movements.

That was why Assistant Chen had discovered the forum matter early this morning and came to seek instructions from Li Beijue.

As the two were talking, the next second, Li Beijue's phone suddenly rang.

Looking at the familiar name on the phone, Li Beijue hurriedly waved his hand at Assistant Chen.

Assistant Chen immediately understood and turned to leave, thoughtfully closing the office door.

Only then did Li Beijue pick up the phone. Before he could speak, he heard Jiang Baobao ask from the other end: "Li Beijue, was it you who found a PR company to delete those posts about me on the internet?"

"It was me." Li Beijue replied in a steady tone, though the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, silently waiting for Jiang Baobao to thank him.

Then, the next second, he heard the person on the other end of the phone sigh.

"You... if you don't understand the rules of the e-sports circle, don't do this kind of thing next time, okay? Even if you had asked for my opinion beforehand..."

Jiang Baobao said slowly, which was a tactful way of expressing her meaning.

Li Beijue was stunned upon hearing this and subconsciously retorted: "Is there a problem? Shouldn't your fans be helping you speak up? I only contributed a few accounts, that's all."

"... That's true, but..." Jiang Baobao was speechless. After deliberating for a long while, she said helplessly: "But the e-sports circle is different from any other circle. This is a place where you speak with strength. The content of that post wasn't false, but it wasn't entirely true either. I don't need to do this kind of self-deceiving thing. Since the other party took the initiative to provoke, I naturally have my own way of solving it. If it gets too big, the competition officials will also come out to resolve it. But the current situation is as if I were arrogant and provocative before, and now that I've been exposed, I'm in a hurry to destroy evidence and act like a coward. Do you understand what I mean?"

Jiang Baobao knew that Li Beijue was also acting out of good intentions, so she didn't say anything too harsh.

But Li Beijue understood.

This time, he hadn't considered things thoroughly; he only wanted the foul language attacking her on the internet to disappear.

Li Beijue's eyes flickered for a moment, and he wasn't angry.

He pondered for two seconds and instead said: "Sorry, did I cause you trouble?"

"It doesn't count as trouble, it's just that the solution I originally planned has fallen through, though it's not entirely unusable..." Jiang Baobao replied helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Li Beijue suddenly thought of something and asked in a low voice: "It was me who didn't consider things comprehensively. To apologize, why don't I treat you and everyone on the team to dinner tonight?"

As Li Beijue asked, a smile couldn't help but appear at the corners of his mouth, his inner abacus clicking away.

However, Jiang Baobao didn't fall for his trick at all and answered without thinking: "Not today. Their training has been very intense lately, and there's no time to go out. If you really have this intention, let's talk about it after winning the match. Enough said, I still have work to do. Goodbye."

After Jiang Baobao finished speaking, she hung up directly without a single word of excess.
