Chapter 970 - Exposed!

April 11th, Wednesday…

Meng Chang slept soundly at his residence yesterday in order to avoid being interviewed. He did not pick up any calls or send any messages in the department’s group chat for the entire day, afraid that he would be caught if he accidentally revealed himself.

The good thing was that his colleagues in the advertising and marketing department were very cooperative and did not take the initiative to look for him.

Meng Chang felt that there shouldn’t be any major problems after hanging around for a day.

He had specially asked that this was not a very important interview. The standard was not high.

It must be a total if the interviewee was Boss Pei. It was possible for him to be interviewed for three to five full days. However, Meng Chang was only the person-in-charge of the marketing department after all. He did not have such a reputation.

Since the standard was not high, it would be done in a day. There should be no danger then.

However, to be safe, Meng Chang continued to stay there until the afternoon before going to work.

When he arrived at the marketing department, his colleagues were all working hard to implement Meng Chang’s marketing plan. Everything seemed to be normal.

Meng Chang was like a student who had just skipped class but was lucky not to be caught. He came to his desk and sat down. He asked Yu Yao, who was sitting opposite him as he switched on his computer. “Have you finished the interview?”

Yu Yao nodded. “Yes, the interview is over!”

“The interview duration for the entire process was very short. It was only three hours, and three or four people were interviewed. The entire process was scripted, and there was very little video information.”

Meng Chang felt more at ease.

If it was just a script, nothing would go wrong.

However, to be safe, he still had to ask a few more questions. “What’s the theme of the interview?”

Yu Yao said, “Actually, it’s nothing much. I just want to understand your working experience in Tengda, Brother Meng.”

Meng Chang’s heart skipped a beat. “How did you answer that?”

Yu Yao: “Of course I spoke the truth. The Tengda spirit has always been based on integrity. I’m just them about how Brother Meng you go about your work in a simple manner without any subjective judgment.”

Meng Chang nodded. “Very good!”

Meng Chang trusted his colleagues in the advertising and marketing department very much. Since Yu Yao said that he was speaking the truth, there shouldn’t be too much deviation.

“However…” Yu Yao added,” Chief Editor Xia thinks that I might have spoken too plainly. That’s why she said that she wanted to do some ‘artistic processing’. That’s why I’m not sure what the final interview would be like. ”

Meng Chang :”…”

‘Artistic Processing’?!

Meng Chang instinctively panicked. However, on further thought, Xia Jiang was the chief editor of the official platform. She had to have some integrity, right? She couldn’t possibly make up stories out of nothing, right?

Yes, it shouldn’t be a problem.

Meng Chang thought about it and felt that there was no need to scare himself. He would naturally know the details after the interview.

Thus, he calmed down, turned on his computer, and continued playing DEMO for Mission and Choice.

The entire advertising and marketing department became quiet. Everyone was working seriously, leaving only the sound of typing on the keyboard and clicking on the mouse.

This continued for more than two hours until four in the afternoon.

Yu Yao received a message and said in surprise, “Eh? So efficient? The interview is out!”

The timing was a little unexpected.

Obviously, Xia Jiang had submitted the interview after the interview yesterday. It was published on the official platform in just one day.

“So fast? Send me the link!”

Meng Chang was shocked as well. He quickly opened the website address sent by Yu Yao.

The interview was not long. There were only a few hundred words. There were not many comments below as it had just been released. It looked slightly deserted.

Meng Chang scanned the contents of the article and his expression quickly changed from calm to puzzled and shocked.

“…Why would Meng Chang realize the error of his ways and turn back if it wasn’t for Boss Pei?”

“Obviously, Tengda’s working environment infected him. It was Boss Pei’s style that affected him…”

Meng Chang’s eyes widened and his mouth opened slightly. He fell into a daze.

What the hell was this!

Nonsense!

Since when have I been influenced by Tengda’s working environment? Since when have I followed Boss Pei’s lead?

There was no such thing!

I’m only staying under someone else’s roof now to pay off my debt. Once I get the commission to pay off my debt, I’ll leave Tengda and make a comeback!

Why did the interview make it sound like I’ve decided to work like a slave in Tengda for the rest of my life?

It was ridiculous! It was all so ridiculous!

Meng Chang was like a heinous criminal in the interview. He was willing to serve under the saint and spend the rest of his life atoning for his sins because he had been enlightened by the saint.

However, Meng Chang knew very well that that was not the case at all!

Strictly speaking, his relationship with Boss Pei should be a struggle! Why did it seem like he had become Boss Pei’s bootlicker?

Meng Chang was furious. He originally wanted to argue with Yu Yao on this matter, but he gave up after struggling for a while.

Forget it, forget it. There was no need for that.

On one hand, outsiders did not know about the agreement between Meng Chang and Boss Pei, and this agreement could not be spread. In the eyes of outsiders, Meng Chang’s current behavior was indeed very in line with what was written in the interview. This matter was like yellow mud falling into his pants. It could not be explained clearly.

On the other hand, Meng Chang was still hoping that the people from the advertising and marketing department would help him implement marketing plans and earn commission. What if these people realized that Meng Chang and Boss Pei were not on the same page and started to not cooperate? Wouldn’t they be finished?

What’s more, this was most likely not what Yu Yao had said, but Chief Editor Xia’s free play.

Meng Chang couldn’t possibly find the official platform, right?

Therefore, even though Meng Chang was very dissatisfied with the content of the interview, he could only force himself to accept it for the sake of the overall situation and swallow his anger.

“Forget it, forget it, forget it. I’ll treat it as I’m enduring hardships while planning my retaliation. So what if people misunderstand me, belittle me, and mock me? Once the ten years are up, I’ll definitely make a comeback and let these people who mock me see what it means to be a man who can bow and submit!”

The content of the interview was about the same. It made him very angry. It was unbearable to watch.

Meng Chang did not take a closer look and scanned all the pictures.

There were indeed a small number of pictures just as Yu Yao had said. There were a total of four pictures. They were the promotional pictures for Tengda’s physical industry, the promotional pictures for Bunny Tail live-stream, the working environment of the advertising marketing department, and Meng Chang’s back view.

Meng Chang subconsciously shivered when he saw the back view.

I was not even here, where did this picture come from?

However, the back view did not seem to be much after a rough scan.

Meng Chang didn’t think too much and skipped to the last comment section.

It had to be said that the popularity from the official platform was still very high. Many players would scroll through the official platform’s information when they had nothing to do. This interview might have only been released for a few minutes but there were already players leaving messages. What’s more, the number of messages was still increasing rapidly. There would be a few more every time it was refreshed.

“Huh? Meng Chang is now the person-in-charge of Tengda’s marketing department?”

“Impossible!”

“These advertisement plans were actually made by Meng Chang? That’s not right. This plan is too different from the one Meng Chang made previously. It smells like Tengda.”

“It looks like Tengda is really a place of reform. Anyone who enters would be assimilated. How can someone like Meng Chang be perfectly integrated? Moreover, can he really be utilized by Boss Pei?”

“I feel like Meng Chang is about to become Boss Pei’s lackey in this interview. Could this be Boss Pei’s charm?”

“It would be a good thing if Meng Chang can really turn over a new leaf. He’s still capable. He can still contribute to society as long as he focuses all his energy on official business.”

“Don’t talk nonsense. I don’t believe it. Meng Chang is obviously unreliable. He will do humane things only if Boss Pei puts a yoke on his shoulders. I hope that Meng Chang will be locked up in Tengda in the future and be modified under Boss Pei. Don’t let him out again!”

“That’s right. I hope Boss Pei can take good care of him and not come out to harm others.”

Meng Chang was furious after reading these discussions.

What the hell!

These comments were basically saying two things: First, even though Meng Chang seemed to be doing some humane things now, it could not change his nature of being a scammer. Everyone must not believe him! Second, Boss Pei was awesome!

Meng Chang was speechless. The interview had been misinterpreted very well. In the end, the gamers misinterpreted it even more and went one level higher!

However, they were worlds apart from the truth and essence of the matter!

Meng Chang was so angry that he almost vomited blood. His mentality that he had finally calmed down was showing signs of breaking down again.

“Forget it, forget it. A real man knows when to bow and submit…”

Meng Chang adjusted his mentality again and continued flipping.

Suddenly, he saw a strange comment.

“Eh, did everyone notice a detail? In this interview, it said that Meng Chang specially asked Tengda Games for the DEMO of the game in order to publicize the promotional plan for the ‘classic domestically-produced game collection’. He plays it every day? However, I looked at this compilation and it’s filled with old games?”

Many players replied to this comment.

“Eh, that’s right. This episode is filled with old games. Even if you want to play them, you should download them from the official platform, right? What do you mean by ‘DEMO’?”

“Only undeveloped new games would have DEMOs.”

“Did they write wrongly?”

“How is that possible! Look at the author of the article. It’s Chief Editor Xia! Chief Editor Xia is the most professional editor on the official platform. She knows the game very well. How could she make such a low-level mistake?”

“You guys are so stupid. Look at the picture! Isn’t there a picture? You can see it with a magnification. The game on the computer is not one of the collections!”

“Holy sh*t, that’s true! What game is this? I don’t think I’ve seen it before.”

“There are so many units, and it’s from God’s perspective. It looks like an RTS game.”

“Could it be that… There is a special Easter egg in this interview? Is this a new game that Tengda is going to release?”

The netizens were practically possessed by Sherlock Holmes. At first, no one paid attention to it. However, the others would swarm forward like sharks that had smelled blood as long as any one of them noticed something amiss!

Someone downloaded the original picture and took a closer look. This picture might be taken from a distance but it was still quite clear. The game’s graphics were completely different from any of the domestically-produced classic games combined!

What would that imply?

Meng Chang opened his mouth slightly and froze.

“Holy f*ck!”

“Sh*t’s going to happen!”
