My capital is quite large.

Chapter 336 All-Chinese Team

Upon hearing this calm question, Old Chen's body stiffened involuntarily.

He understood what his boss meant, but being the shrewd person he always was, he naturally knew how to speak in front of his boss:

"President Li's reprimand is indeed correct... This subordinate is truly foolish and hopes that President Li will provide clear guidance on how we should proceed with the team and league planning."

Seeing that Old Chen clearly understood but insisted on pretending to be stupid, Li Feng was too lazy to expose his little trick.

He simply cursed, "Slippery."

"Next year's RNG must be an all-Chinese team!"

"Yes! I understand! Tomorrow morning, I'll have the tournament league issue a formal rectification order to the Royal Family!" Old Chen nodded repeatedly in agreement, feeling as if he had been granted a pardon.

……

After Lao Chen left, the solid wood door to the president's office was closed again.

A hint of confusion flashed in Zhang Yuxi's beautiful eyes as she asked with some curiosity:

"Boss, I'm totally confused... Our LPL suffered such a humiliating defeat this year, the online criticism is practically tearing the tournament organizers apart. Are we really just going to let it go like this? Can we really win with an all-Chinese team next year?"

Looking at the inquisitive Secretary Zhang beside him, Li Feng waved to her.

Zhang Yuxi understood immediately and walked over, twisting her body obediently to sit sideways in Li Feng's lap.

Li Feng's hand skillfully slid inside the fitted waist of the suit.

"Yu Xi, have you read Gustave Le Bon's *The Crowd*?"

"There's a famous quote in that book—'The masses are never good at reasoning, but they are eager to take action.'"

Zhang Yuxi, suppressing the tingling sensation, leaned on Li Feng's shoulder with hazy eyes and asked:

"Then... what does this have to do with our all-Chinese team?"

"It's a huge deal." Li Feng's fingers groped around.

"You must remember that there are not many smart people in this world, and even fewer people with the ability to think independently."

"An all-Chinese team—frankly speaking, it's just a slogan!"

"As long as this flag is there, netizens will have a sense of belonging."

"If we win, it'll be a source of pride for the all-Chinese team, and viewership will skyrocket!"

"Even if they lost... it's still a tragic but glorious defeat for the all-Chinese team in their fight against South Korea, and it will still generate endless arguments and long-tail discussion!"

......

Just one day later, Royal Never Give Up (RNG) eSports Club announced on its official Weibo account that it would not renew the contracts of top laner Looper and support player Mata for the new season.

At the same time, the club officially brought in the up-and-coming local top laner Letme, as well as the talented support Ming who had just made a name for himself in PDD's team.

As soon as the transfer announcement was released, the LPL fan community and Weibo, which had been quiet for several months, were quickly ignited by the words "all-Chinese team".

This time, RNG was not met with insults and doubts, but with almost unanimous praise!

"Great! Well done! This is the LPL we really want to see!"

"Those two Koreans should have been replaced a long time ago! In the World Championship, these Korean players were all incredibly loyal to their country when it came to crucial games!"

"Mata was clearly not playing well on the field. If he hadn't been distracted and made all sorts of bizarre mistakes, how could our Wuzi have possibly lost to Bang in the bot lane?!"

"Exactly! As long as everyone on the team is Chinese, and we play with the spirit of an all-Chinese team, even if we lose next year, I'll accept it!"

Fueled by nationalistic sentiments and the fan economy, RNG not only cleared up the negative publicity from last year overnight, but its fans are also eagerly chanting slogans in their supertopic, aiming for next year's S7.

As if by prior arrangement, another traditional giant in the LPL also underwent a reshuffle on the same day.

EDG Esports Club officially announced that Deft and Pawn have both left the team, and rookie ADC player iBoy has been promoted to the first team's starting lineup!

What has attracted the most attention in the entire esports community is Clearlove's latest activity!

On the same day, he changed the IDs of his accounts on both the Chinese and Korean servers to a completely new one: 【Clearlove7】!

This ID, which is full of reshaping significance, is not only a silent counterattack against the nickname 4396, but also a tragic vow - I, the factory manager, will not retire next year!

……

Just as the film and e-sports industries were making quite a stir due to several movies and transfer activities by various clubs.

The highly anticipated online variety show, "Dongda Hip Hop," funded by Tencent Video with a budget of 250 million yuan, has premiered its first episode!

The video went viral!

For Dongda University audiences accustomed to traditional talent shows and song and dance programs, this was a visual and auditory sensory experience that felt like a game-changer.

A musical form I've never seen before.

Those rappers who had been pent up underground for a long time, exuding rage and dressed in trendy brands, displayed their most authentic diss and anger in front of the camera, creating a powerful and intense atmosphere.

Stage design unlike anything I've ever seen before.

The stadium is filled with the world's most advanced sound system and laser lighting, while the heavy industrial metal-style stage design creates an atmosphere reminiscent of the ancient Roman Colosseum.

Not to mention, it's a talent show format that has never appeared in variety shows before!

More than 400 rappers must perform live on the spot within a few dozen seconds when the mentors walk by. If the mentors think it's not good enough, they won't even give them a chance to explain and will eliminate them on the spot!

This kind of story-driven reality show editing, which has never appeared before in the Chinese entertainment industry, has firmly captured the audience's attention.

Especially when the show was halfway through, the man stood expressionless in front of a somewhat nervous contestant and asked in his cold voice, "Do you have freestyle?"

The show wasn't even halfway through when Weibo's trending topics list was already flooded with freestyle-related terms!

"Do you have freestyle? No? Then you can leave!"

"Holy crap, that guy is so handsome! Cold and ruthless, he's so intimidating!"

"I support that man! This show is so damn stress-relieving!"

……

At this moment, in the Fiyta Building, Nanshan District, Shenzhen.

Inside the monitoring center at Tencent Video's headquarters.

Sun Zhonghuai, the new head of Tencent Video, is sitting in front of the control panel.

Even though he was usually serious and unsmiling at the company, he couldn't help but smile when he saw the real-time ratings soaring on the big screen.

"Hahaha! Great! Excellent!!"

We won this battle!

Now he is almost certain that the Weibo King title this December will belong to that man!
