Chapter 238: Conspiracy and Targeting
"What's wrong? Have someone cook it? ”
Yi Cheng sat beside the agent lady with a grin, wanting to make some jokes according to the convention, but found that today's Zhang Xiaoran did not mean to counterattack according to the convention. &{}∽↗∽↗,
Seeing her eyes staring at the phone almost without blinking, Yi Cheng curiously picked up the kidney 666s, studied it for a long time and didn't figure out how to open it, so he turned his head to look at her again.
"Broken phone and no money to buy a new one? It's okay, I still have two kidneys to use. ”
"Don't make a fuss, something big is wrong."
This time, Zhang Xiaoran finally gave him an angry look, and it seemed that the kidney-selling offensive was quite effective.
"What could be more important than the martial arts alliance leader fighting for hegemony recently...... Hmm, wait. ”
Yi Cheng suddenly showed a terrified expression.
"Your aunt didn't come this month?"
So in the next second, a sofa cushion was directly pasted on someone's bear face.
"I'll be serious with you! From this morning until now, I haven't received a single phone call! ”
"That's normal...... Maybe your phone is in arrears, or maybe it's the people you're expecting to call you stay up all night like I do......"
"There's no such thing! Do you know what day it is? ”
Looking at Zhang Xiaoran's expression, Yi Cheng, who originally wanted to joke about the "Midyear Festival", finally realized that the agent seemed to be really angry this time.
"On the first day of the Martial Arts Alliance Championship, what's wrong?"
"You also know that it's the first day of the martial arts alliance leader's battle for hegemony! Then let me ask you, from the beginning of the month to the present, has a studio, a game company, a forum game manufacturer, or some third-rate tourist attraction contacted you for endorsement? ”
"If you want to get in touch, you should be contacted directly, and you don't know that the voice transmission in my game is secret to block strangers."
"No one has approached you through acquaintances to negotiate endorsements or nicknames?"
"I'm not familiar with it, and after all, it's your agent's job, isn't it?"
“……”
Zhang Xiaoran didn't reply, but his lips were pursed, and he seemed to be trying hard to endure something.
"Since the beginning of the month, I have not received any phone calls or texts to discuss business cooperation, and the few companies I have contacted before have not heard from me. I originally thought that these people were waiting for your sect to determine your business value after the end of the big competition, and then reconsider the investment share, but now. Hehehehehe......"
"Wait, you don't mean ......"
Hearing Zhang Xiaoran's tone, Yi Cheng finally understood.
"This time the leader of the martial arts alliance is competing for hegemony, but no one is looking for me to be an endorsement, and I haven't even sold the naming rights of the nickname?"
"That's just the way it is. And, I can basically confirm one thing. ”
Zhang Xiaoran grabbed the mobile phone on the table, and just when Yi Cheng thought she was going to complete a feat worth 6000+ soft girl coins, he saw her stuffing her mobile phone directly into her shorts pocket.
"I'm going out for a trip, and until I come back, don't bother anyone who contacts you for any reason."
"Huh? That lunch......
"In the microwave, heat yourself!"
"Oh......"
Watching Zhang Xiaoran rush out of the room in a hot outfit at home, Yi Cheng was not in the mood to go to the kitchen to heat the meal, but sank his body deep into the sofa. Caught in a great wave of contemplation.
"It shouldn't be......"
If you think about it carefully, although you have done a lot of things that have ruined your character recently, according to the consistent urine nature of game manufacturers, the more professional players with such a flamboyant style are, the more likely they are to be favored by these manufacturers who only look at fame and do not look at good and evil.
Although he himself did not deliberately work hard in this area, with his ability to stir up the wind and rain in the rivers and lakes, coupled with the brand effect that the name "sanctimonious" still has, and the gimmick of returning in three years, not to mention that the title trademark is plastered from head to toe, it is also very possible that the eight characters of the nickname will be divided by seven manufacturers.
However, according to Zhang Xiaoran. During this period of time, no manufacturer has found him, let alone any endorsement contract or naming agreement, which is worth pondering.
That's right. He doesn't pay much attention to these things that should belong to the scope of the agent's work, and he doesn't know much about the twists and turns in them, but he is not stupid, and in this situation, it is clear that someone is secretly using some means, or simply taking some kind of action against himself.
"It seems. Some people finally can't help it. ”
After thinking of this, Yi Cheng did not get angry, but laughed.
Since the matter is aimed at himself, then, he can also think of with his toes, and there are only a few people who have the strength, or the ability to do this, over and over again.
Three years ago, it was these few people who joined together to test the pressure on Hongtu Company, and made a thing that could have been diluted and dealt with inextricably, and finally made the senior management of Hongtu Company have to ban him for three years "punishment", at least in Yicheng's view now, it is actually a disguised protection.
However, now three years later, the gaming industry has long passed the so-called "dark years", ushered in a prosperous period of standardization and formalization, and this group of people obviously knows very well that they can no longer deal with themselves through the original means, so they retreat and begin to use such sideways to make it difficult for them to retreat.
But the question is...... Whether it was three years ago or now, who in the entire Jianghu does not know his sanctimonious character?
In the final analysis, he is a smooth donkey, it doesn't matter if you give him a chew to let him grind, but if someone dares to whip him secretly, he will also kick and complete a textbook Jiaozuo man.
"I'd like to see what tricks you're going to play next."
After figuring out the key, Yi Cheng naturally knew that with the past style of those people, this way of putting pressure on him by knocking on the side was only the first step, if he guessed correctly, he would soon be able to talk directly to these people and receive the so-called "ultimatum".
In fact, he soon heard the limp hum of his mobile phone that had been left dusted in the corner of his bedroom.
If you want to talk about this mobile phone, the number is still just handled not long ago, as a mobile phone number reserved for the registration of professional player identity, and for people like Yicheng, who almost all social networks are online, there is no need to inform others of their mobile phone numbers.
But now, someone has found him directly through this mobile phone number. There is no doubt that those who planned all this behind the scenes, this time even used the power within the company.
"Hello, are you Mr. Graceful?"
When Yi Cheng pressed the answer button at the same time. Accompanied by the sound of the mobile phone's low battery prompt, it is a rather mechanical sound.
"Knowingly asked."
Yi Cheng responded lazily, and then directly had a showdown with the other party.
"I'm not interested or obligated to know who you are, and I don't really want to hear your next nonsense. If you want me to withdraw from this martial arts alliance master competition, I can only say that you think too much, to be honest, I am very curious, what means will you use to stop me......"
"The ......"
During the interval when Yi Cheng was panting, the voice on the other side of the phone, which had been stunned for a long time, finally rang weakly again.
"Hello Mr. Dao Xiang Anran, I am a salesman of the > insurance company in the rivers and lakes, and the leader of the martial arts alliance is about to compete for hegemony, and there is an investment project here that I think is very suitable for you...... Would you like to take a moment to listen to my explanation? ”
“…… Not interested. ”
"Well, I'll hear you. It seems that this time you may encounter some uncertain external interference factors in the martial arts alliance master competition, then, our company has also prepared for you the "martial arts alliance leader competition ranking insurance", "martial arts level protection insurance", "stagecoach accident insurance" and other insurance types for you, for you in the process of the martial arts alliance leader competition for the hegemon......"
So, at the moment when the phone ran out of battery, Yi Cheng finally understood that he might be thinking too much.
A group of villains whose efficiency is not even comparable to that of an insurance company salesman, what else is there to worry about?
***************************
It turns out that whether it is Zhang Xiaoran or Yi Cheng. They all underestimated the opponent's methods this time.
The agent returned home before 6 p.m. and brought back takeout for Yi Cheng for dinner, but when she got home, she saw Yi Cheng sitting in front of the TV with a solemn face.
"I came back just in time. The main event has just arrived. ”
Seeing Zhang Xiaoran coming back, Yi Cheng beckoned to her, motioned for her to sit beside him, and pointed to the introduction of the rules of the Martial Arts Alliance Championship that was going on the TV screen.
At this time, the host of the program was talking about the conventional "three unlimited" and "three prohibitions" principles, but when Zhang Xiaoran walked closer in confusion. Before he could sit down, he immediately jumped up again when he heard the host's next explanation.
In addition to the three unrestricted and three prohibitions as traditional rules, in this group of martial arts alliance master competition, the official has added an additional rule: it is forbidden to use combined attack martial arts. Okay, at least so far, we can't see the meaning of this move, what the official move is, and I believe we will soon see the clues in the upcoming martial arts alliance master competition......
"This ...... It's too much! ”
It wasn't until the show cut into the advertisement that Zhang Xiaoran took a breath from his deep anger, and his voice trembled slightly with anger.
"Well, it seems that I still underestimated the determination of these people."
Yi Cheng, who had never expected this result at all, could only shake his head and smile bitterly in the face of this obviously "tailor-made" rule.
He never expected that those people would even be able to use this kind of means in order to deal with themselves.
Needless to say, adding new rules to the already established rules is a stumbling block, and it is even more difficult to get this rule to pass the review of Hongtu Company.
It's just for his sanctimonious appearance, this group of people not only did it, but also did it, at least now, a discerning person will understand at a glance that this rule is undoubtedly set up for his role to be sanctimonious, so that he can't use the unique "Jade Girl Suxin Sword Technique" in the martial arts alliance master competition!
"What are you going to do?"
After taking a deep breath, Zhang Xiaoran sat back on the sofa and stared at Yi Cheng intently.
"What else can I do, do I organize a wave of primary school students to go to the door of Hongtu Company to sit-in protest?"
Yi Cheng shook his head, but his expression was unprecedentedly calm.
"If you don't let me use the Jade Girl Suxin Sword Technique, I don't need it, can they still set a rule that I can only compete with people with my hands tied?"
"You can't speak seriously at any time!"
Zhang Xiaoran raised her hand angrily and slapped him, but that worried pretty face still betrayed her inner emotions.
Seeing her expression, Yi Cheng laughed again, and reached out in a ghostly manner, pinching her cheeks, which were still pink in her bare state.
"Okay, obediently wash your hands and go to bed, and wait for me to return victorious."
After speaking, Yi Cheng took advantage of Zhang Xiaoran's failure to react and hurriedly slipped away.
And it wasn't until he reconnected to the game and chose to log in that he heard Zhang Xiaoran's angry screams from the living room.
"Yi! Honest! If you dare to lose the competition, the old lady will break your three legs! ”
“……”
Cut, it's really not in any mood at all, and at this time saying "I'll wait for you to come back" will die!
Carefully pinching the third leg to the line, almost at the same time as consciousness and character became one, Yi Cheng was bombarded by a large number of internal forces that transmitted into the secret.
"Honestly, what bad things have you done that have lost your conscience?"
"I know that you have never had a safe life, let's say, how long will you be banned this time?"
"The daughter of the boss of Hongtu is said to be only 12 years old! You brute! ”
“……”
Faced with the "care" of a group of bad friends in various ways, Yi Cheng silently replied to each of them with a middle finger.
However, in addition to that, he had to reply to another person's inquiry seriously no matter what.
"What's going on?"
Although it was only a few words, Yi Cheng heard it for the first time, and a woman like Gu Xue'er, who was plain and cold, actually showed her anger.
After thinking about it, Yi Cheng still felt that he should answer honestly.
"Remember what I said about the group of people who couldn't get used to me being too good?"
"Hmm."
"It seems that they still think I'm too good."
“……”
After a moment of silence, Gu Xue'er's voice came again.
"When today's competition is over, I will contact some friends and protest to Hongtu."
"Huh? There's no need for that. ”
In fact, when he said this, Yi Cheng was thinking ...... How hard does a novice friend of yours have to be in order to compete with a behemoth like Hongtu Company!
However, Gu Xue'er didn't seem to care about what Yi Cheng thought, and then, after she only told Yi Cheng to "deal with it carefully", she cut off the sound transmission and left the remaining time before the start of the competition to think quietly.
And Yi Cheng is also a bachelor, since this time the competition does not allow him to use the combination of two swords, then he also happened to store the black and white double sword that had almost exhausted the durability to the Qian Zhuang, only brought the camel sword and the lady sword, and then went out of the capital, called out the little yellow horse, and planned to rush to the venue of the competition......
