"Just a moment, let me check." The head of the Tengxu Entertainment Department waited for about three or four minutes before responding to Chen Yiyang,

"The head of Dota Alliance's national server is newly appointed, named Jian Ming. I don't know much about him, but I have his number; I'll forward it to you."

"Okay, thanks."

"No need to be formal, let's stay in touch."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yiyang dialed Jian Ming's number that was forwarded to him.

Before giving Chen Yiyang Jian Ming's number, the head of Tengxu Entertainment had already messaged Jian Ming about this matter.

When the call went through, Jian Ming asked, "Is this Mr. Chen?"

"You're too kind, I'm Chen Yiyang, currently the owner of Jidao Esports Club."

"Then we'll have to cooperate more in the future." Jian Ming said, "We at Tengxu have officially acquired all the shares of Dota Alliance.

From next season onwards, the national server section of Dota Alliance will be directly managed by Tengxu."

"Feel free to let us know if there's anything for next season; we'll definitely cooperate as much as possible." Chen Yiyang spoke politely.

He wondered whether Jian Ming, newly appointed, might be unaware that the national server game homepage didn't feature Jidao Esports Club's championship photo.

After chatting with Jian Ming for a few more sentences, Chen Yiyang finally broached the subject and asked why the national server game page didn't feature Extreme Path Team's championship photo.

"Here's the situation." Jian Ming, hearing Chen Yiyang's question, directly answered,

"The previous person in my position didn't perform well. The game's revenue wasn't matching its popularity.

So after I took over managing the national server of Dota Alliance, I've been strict with revenue matters.

People below might be worried about not hitting this quarter's revenue targets and therefore put advertisements for game bundles on the homepage."

"I see." Chen Yiyang paused for a moment and then said, "Could we temporarily change it for a day or two to put our team's championship photo on the homepage?"

"I'll ask about it. But most likely it won't be possible. People below made the decision for the future of our game, so we're inclined to respect their viewpoints, right? I can only say I'll try to communicate it for you.

By the way, if Extreme Path Team Club could help promote our virtual girl group bundle on social platforms, how about that?"

"If we promote the ad on our side, can you guarantee the championship photo will appear on the game homepage?"

"Didn't I just say, I can only try to help communicate." Jian Ming evaded.

"What's the point of talking like this?" Chen Yiyang was somewhat angry.

"As the head of the national server for Dota Alliance, can't you even decide what photos go on the game homepage and need to consult with people below?

If you can't decide, why not give me Ma Huateng's number? I'll call him so he can back you up."

"How could you say that?"

"How dare you say that!"

Chen Yiyang directly hung up the phone, visibly furious with heavy breathing.

"Boss, what happened?" Su Luo, only partly understanding, opened his mouth after seeing Chen Yiyang hang up, to ask.

"Nothing, just encountered a fool." Chen Yiyang was genuinely upset right now.

Their team had won the championship, yet when he called the person in charge on the other side, asking for the championship photo to be featured for a few days,

This person not only evaded but also asked his team to promote their skins.

"Promote your mother selling fried dough sticks."

Not to mention, this person hadn't even guaranteed the championship photo would definitely be put up.

Even if guaranteed, why should he help promote the other side for free for what was rightfully theirs!

The more Chen Yiyang thought about it, the angrier he got.

"Boss, how do we solve this, Tengxu is big and powerful, we'd better not provoke." Su Luo cautioned beside him.

"I'm not provoking Tengxu, just a person under the Tengxu Game Department."

After speaking, Chen Yiyang thought about it and called the person in charge of Tengxu's "Creation 101," Zheng Zhiming.

Zheng Zhiming was quite warm towards Chen Yiyang.

Especially knowing Chen Yiyang had invested tens of millions of advertisement fees into another small program,

He listened to Chen Yiyang recount the conflict with Jian Ming and immediately said,

"Don't worry too much. With a big company like Tengxu, you can think of our boss Ma Huateng as the old King, and departments like entertainment, gaming, advertising as Emperor Candidates, all potential successors.

The relationships between our departments, even if not as close as brothers, are ever ready to stab each other in the back.

Your conflict with Jian Ming, at most, may have a few allies helping him out, but other department heads won't care.

If you manage to blow this matter up, they might even help you out. Catch my drift?"

"You mean to escalate it?"

"Escalating is not important; what's important is performance. Jian Ming didn't want your team's championship photo because he worries it would affect this quarter's skin sales.

He was promoted by a benefactor, so he must show results shortly. You just need to impact his skin sales, then many will help you deal with him."

"Got it then." Chen Yiyang nodded.

It made sense; with a large company like Tengxu, the CEO's position wouldn't pass to the family.

Relationships below naturally wouldn't be good.

Only those with good performance have the leverage. As for other departments within the company, not hoping colleagues drop dead on the spot is already decent.

But if escalating things, how should it be done?

Thinking about it, the old method is still best, live streaming.

Chen Yiyang immediately called Su Luo to inform the team's five guys to keep the day after tomorrow open.

Then he called Liu Xiaoyue to arrange a special live shopping event for the day after tomorrow.

After handling this, Chen Yiyang had to catch a flight to Lin'an City.

The reason for going to Lin'an City was to meet Song Xi and officially sign the contract in Lin'an City.

The contract signing chose Lin'an because the "Creation 101" program will be recorded in Lin'an.

After signing the contract with Song Xi, he'll have to send Song Xi into "Creation 101's" idol training camp.

Part of this talent show's attraction is all contestants will undergo over a month of closed training.

Chen Yiyang must personally deliver her there to prevent any mishap.

Additionally, he as Song Xi's agent company's owner, needs to treat Zheng Zhiming and other "Creation 101" crew to a meal, along with handing out some red envelopes.

Such matters couldn't be entrusted to others to handle, he must do it himself.
