Lu Xiaoping took the cell phone and realized that Tengda Corporation's official account had issued a clarification announcement.
The content of the announcement was very simple. It simply collected the false information and refuted the rumors. It said that the movie 'The Future You Choose' did not maliciously attack or defame any other domestic companies. Please do not take it personally. Patiently wait for the movie to be officially released.
Lu Xiaoping was stunned. He looked at Nie Yunsheng and asked, "Boss Nie, why do you think this is a confession?"
"Perhaps Tengda Corporation really did not insinuate us in this movie?"
"I think this clarification announcement is quite sincere."
Nie Yunsheng sniggered. "How is that possible?"
"If we really guessed wrong and Tengda Corporation did not insinuate us in this movie, would Boss Pei be in such a hurry to clarify? Wouldn't it be better to watch us jump into the pit? "
"What would you do if you were Boss Pei?"
Lu Xiaoping thought for a moment. "I would deliberately condone or even fan the flames to spread this rumor even more. After all, the bigger the rumor, the worse we would fall. "
Nie Yunsheng nodded. "That's right. If Boss Pei really has the confidence, this is the best choice."
"The best choice is to not comment on this and not make a statement. We will wait for the heat to slowly die down."
"An official clarification would be a confession."
Lu Xiaoping frowned slightly. "But Boss Nie, wouldn't Boss Pei have made a bad move according to what you said? Boss Pei has always been strategizing and planning for the long term. How could he do such a stupid thing? Don't tell me he's trying to lure the enemy? "
Nie Yunsheng shook his head. "I don't think Boss Pei is out of his mind, but he is at a loss. There is no other good way."
"That's because we have accurately grasped his weakness."
"If 'The Future You Choose' did not insinuate us, Boss Pei would have many ways to deal with it. It would be the best choice for Boss Pei, be it staying put or adding fuel to the fire."
"However, if 'The Future You Choose' insinuates us, then Boss Pei would be wrong no matter what he does."
"Staying put would be akin to nurturing a tiger to cause trouble. Adding fuel to the fire would be akin to digging your own grave. "
"Therefore, Boss Pei has two goals for clarifying the matter. The first is to clarify the rumors and eliminate the impact as much as possible. The second possibility is that they are bluffing to mislead us and make us feel that the movie is not insinuating us, forcing us to give up this strategy of public opinion war. "
"That's why we can't be fooled by him. We must carry out this strategy even more firmly."
Lu Xiaoping felt a little dizzy. He didn't know which level of the game he was at.
His first reaction was that Boss Pei would not be able to do something like that. There must be something wrong with it.
However, Nie Yunsheng felt that Boss Pei might have made use of their mentality and deliberately made a seemingly stupid operation to mislead them.
What's more, from all the signs, if Tengda was not alluding to the anti-Tengda Alliance company in this movie, who was it alluding to? This didn't make sense.
This was a cyberpunk movie and it had won an award. There had to be a deeper meaning to it and something to satirize.
No matter how he thought about it, he really couldn't find anything else to mock him with.
Lu Xiaoping thought about it. "Alright, Boss Nie, I trust your judgment."
If it was really as Nie Yunsheng said, then Boss Pei's current actions were like an empty fort strategy. It would be a huge loss if he was scared off. If they continued to advance, they might be able to win.
What's more, they had the right to continue attacking.
The real trump card of the anti-Tengda Alliance was My Wealth. Even if they suffered a loss in the battle of public opinion and were schemed against by Boss Pei, the situation could still be salvaged after My Wealth was released.
Since that was the case, why not fight it out?

September 13th, Friday …
Pei Qian paced back and forth in his office anxiously, waiting for Boss Li's reply.
Another week passed after the announcement. In the end, Pei Qian realized that the other party did not restrain themselves at all. Instead, they became even worse.
Wasn't this a scam?
He had already hinted so clearly. Why couldn't this group of people get it?
After the announcement on Monday, Pei Qian waited patiently for three days until he realized that something was wrong on Wednesday afternoon. The other party did not seem to show any signs of restraint, which made him extremely anxious.
The game would be officially released next week. When the truth was revealed, everything would be irreversible.
Therefore, on Wednesday night, Pei Qian found Li Shi in private, hoping that he could pass a message to the anti-Tengda Alliance on his behalf. He told Nie Yunsheng that the movie 'The Future You Chose' really did not have any intention of insinuating against the Tengda Alliance. All the villains in it were played by Tengda Corporation's own department.
The reason why he did not call personally was mainly because he was afraid that Nie Yunsheng would misunderstand.
It would be difficult if Nie Yunsheng thought that Pei Qian was provoking him.
Letting Boss Li be the middleman should be able to promote mutual understanding between the two sides.
In the end, there was still no reply from Boss Li until Friday.
The discussion about this issue on the internet was getting more and more intense. It seemed like the other party was still fanning the flames.
His phone rang as he wandered around.
Pei Qian quickly picked it up when he saw that it was Li Shi.
"Hello, how's the situation? What did Nie Yunsheng say? "
Li Shi was at a loss for words as he said, "Boss Pei, I did as you said and tried my best to explain to him. I've called him three or four times in the past two days to explain the situation. "
"At first, he pretended to be innocent and said that he did not know anything about this matter. He said that I found the wrong person. In short, he did not know anything."
"After that, he was obviously angry after being harassed by me and said something from the bottom of his heart."
Pei Qian was stunned. "From the bottom of his heart? What did he say? "
Li Shi coughed lightly and imitated Nie Yunsheng's tone. "This matter has nothing to do with me, but I still want to say, isn't Boss Pei's actions admitting that he is hiding something?"
"If this movie really does not insinuate our company, why do you have to go through so much trouble to explain?"
"The more explanations, the more it means that there is definitely a problem."
"Boss Li, you don't have to pretend to be a good person. Everyone knows that you and Boss Pei are in the same boat. You came here to persuade me. You must have been instructed by Boss Pei. Go back and tell Boss Pei that I will definitely not fall for his trick. "
"Even if you have a glib tongue, I will never believe a single word that comes out of your mouth."
"Boss Pei is actually so kind-hearted that he is worried about the fate of our company. Who was the one who killed our companies back then? He was so majestic and arrogant. "
"Now, it is obvious that Tengda has encountered a problem and came to us to ask for help. In the end, you still act like you are doing it for our own good. How fake. Go back and tell Boss Pei that there is no need to talk about it. If there is anything, let's talk about it when we meet on the battlefield! "
It had to be said that Li Shi had a talent for imitating. He imitated Nie Yunsheng's tone perfectly.
There seemed to be three parts sarcasm, three parts mockery, and three parts smugness in his words. As for the last part, there was a faint sense of determination.
Pei Qian sighed silently.
It was really hard to save a damned ghost with good words.
He could only say that people could not understand each other in the end. His good intentions were treated as ill-intent in the end. Whether it was a clarification announcement or a private friendly reminder, none of them could make Nie Yunsheng stop at the precipice. Instead, it made him more determined to step on the accelerator and rush towards the cliff.
"Alright, Boss Li, you've worked hard."
"Since that's the case, let's wait for the movie to be officially released."
Pei Qian hung up the phone silently, feeling that his fragile self had endured too much.

September 17th, Tuesday
The pig-headed Qiao Liang was uncharacteristically live-streaming very early. Fans were waiting for the official release of the brand-new triple-A masterpiece, 'The Future You Choose'.
During this period, the game and movie 'The Future You Choose' had been a hot topic of discussion online.
At first, it was because the movie had won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival. Then, some comments began to appear on the internet, guessing that the movie was satirizing the anti-Tengda Alliance companies. In the end, it attracted Tengda Corporation to refute the rumors.
However, this refutation did not dispel everyone's doubts. Instead, it attracted even more attention.
The audience was waiting anxiously for the official release of the movie. However, the movie would only be released this Saturday. On the other hand, the game would be released four days in advance.
The timing was rather inexplicable.
The movie was not a serious schedule, and the game was not even a weekend.
However, everyone was already used to it. After all, with Tengda's current size, they no longer needed to pay attention to the schedule. They could release it whenever they wanted. In any case, it would be very popular.
Many people even applied for leave from their bosses in advance just to play the game 'The Future You Choose'.
Qiao Liang also wanted to know if this game had any anti-Tengda Alliance companies. How exactly was this cyberpunk theme going to be done?
The same theme was split into two parts, one for the game and the other for the movie. Would it use the same plot like Mission and Choice back then, or would it use the same background story to make two plots?
All in all, it was quite exciting.
Qiao Liang chatted with fans in the live-stream while waiting for the game to be released.
"Should I play the console version or the computer version? Of course, one for each. Is there a need to ask? "
"The computer version is for convenience of live-streaming. For better image quality. As for the motherboard, it's for faith and collection. Both are indispensable. "
"I have a hunch! This game will definitely become a milestone for Tengda Games like Repent and be Saved and Struggle! "
