Chapter 790: Small Matter! (2)
Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion
“What game are you guys going to y? Still sticking to the old routine, ying LOL?” Zhou Chao, afterughing, also got into the topic. After all, he couldn’t keep making fun of Lao Piao.
Si Cong boasted a bit, “Let’s y LOL. It’s been a while since I yed. As the former professional yer with the only perfect record in the entire league, I’ll show off tonight!”
“Come on, you, the former professional yer who only yed one game. Your skills aren’t better than mine!” Zhou Chao mercilessly exposed Si Cong’s pretense.
When ying games with friends, besides the enjoyment of the game itself, there’s also the interaction with friends. The banter and dissing back and forth make the gaming experience enjoyable.
Seeing Zhou Chao and Si Cong engrossed in conversation, Lao Piao couldn’t help but interrupt, “Young Master Zhou, Si Cong, do you need a couple of sweet-voicedpanions to y with, who can also act cute?”
Si Cong, upon hearing this, became interested and quickly agreed, “Young Master Zhou, I think we should give it a try. After all, having girls around can make the atmosphere much more pleasant.”
Zhou Chao knew exactly what these two were up to. It was all about ying the game well and receivingpliments from the femalepanions to satisfy their own pleasure.
But, it wasn’t a bad idea, he thought.
“Alright, Lao Piao, you’re good at this. I’ll leave it to you to findpanions!”
“No problem, Young Master Zhou. I’ll go find two sweet-voicedpanions on the YY channel right away.”<div>
“Hey, Zhou Chao, why don’t we go together and experience the joy of ‘choosing concubines’!” Si Cong chimed in.
Zhou Chao was also curious aboutpanion gaming and wanted to see how it was done. If there was a need in the future, he wouldn’t hesitate to findpanions himself to avoid any embarrassing situations.
“Okay, Lao Piao, book our tickets!”
“Sure thing!”
Lao Piao was quick. In less than ten seconds, Zhou Chao and Si Cong received the tickets from him and clicked to enter the channel where Lao Piao was.
They had expected a warm wee upon entering, but to their surprise, they werepletely ignored and became mere spectators.
All they heard was the channel’s customer service warmly weing a big spender,pletely ignoring Zhou Chao’s group.
Lao Piao couldn’t stand this. Although he didn’t visit this channel often, he was still a guest. For the customer service to ignore them in favor of the big spender was a bit too much.
Moreover, it was he who had suggested findingpanions to y with. If they were neglected because of this, he might lose his position.
“Hey, hello, is there anyone in customer service?” Lao Piao typed on the public screen.
Unfortunately, they were still ignored. Not a single person paid attention to them. The moderators and customer service were all focused on the big spender.
Unable to bear it any longer, Lao Piao directly muted the channel.
“I’m asking if you could get a customer service representative who actually pays attention. We’ve been here for so long and nobody has attended to us,” Lao Piao vented as soon as he got on the mic.
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire channel fell silent for three or four seconds.
“Hey handsome, could you please not mute the mic? If you have any requests, please wait!” a female customer service representative replied impatiently.
“Wait? We’ve been waiting for so long, and not a single customer service representative hase out to assist us. They’re all busy weing that big spender. What’s the meaning of this? Just because he’s a big spender, we can be ignored?”
Lao Piao couldn’t tolerate the attitude of these customer service representatives. Since when did the service industry start looking down on people?
But instead of receiving a response, Lao Piao was muted. Even his yellow horse emblem was removed, rendering him unable to speak in the channel.
“Damn it!” Lao Piao, sitting in front of hisputer, was so angry that he mmed his fist onto the table, making a loud “bang.”<div>
The noise was so loud that even Min Min, who was ying in the living room, opened the door to see what was going on.
“What’s wrong?” Min Min asked, looking at the somewhat angry Lao Piao.
Seeing the questioning look from his wife, Lao Piao took a deep breath, forced a rather ugly smile, and said, “It’s nothing, just got killed in the game!”
“Oh,” Min Min didn’t doubt him and just nodded before leaving the room.<div>
With his emotions stabilized, Lao Piao remembered that Zhou Chao and Si Cong were still waiting for him.
Quickly turning to theputer, he found that Zhou Chao and Si Cong had also been kicked out of the channel by the customer service.
Upon entering the channel, Lao Piao quickly apologized, “Apologies, young masters, for dampening your mood!”
“It’s okay. This can’t be med on you. The service attitude of thispanion channel is indeed a bit excessive! Even Si Cong and I were affected!” Zhou Chao said lightly.
To say they weren’t angry would be false. It’s okay if you want to tter the big spender, but you should still provide basic service. They had been in the channel for several minutes without anyone paying attention to them, and the screen was filled with wees for that big spender.
Could it be that any passerby whoes to spend money is just a nobody?
The more Zhou Chao thought about it, the angrier he became. His good mood waspletely ruined by these customer service reps.
Si Cong seemed to sense something amiss and quickly asked, “Lao Piao, what are you going to do about this?”
This question caught Lao Piao off guard. He stuttered for a while without giving a coherent answer.
“What’s wrong? Is there a problem?” Si Cong couldn’t help but furrow his brow.
Normally, with Lao Piao’s status, handling such a matter should have been a piece of cake. But why did he drop the ball at such a critical moment? He even hoped to salvage a bit of face in front of Zhou Chao, but Lao Piao turned out to bepletely useless, pure deadweight!
“Si Cong, I don’t know what else to do. The other party’s background and strength are much stronger than mine. I’ve heard rumors before about this channel being biased towards big spenders, but I thought it was just gossip. I didn’t expect it to be true,” Lao Piao said, feeling somewhat defeated.
Hearing this, Zhou Chao also became curious. What kind of background did thispanion channel have that even Lao Piao had to bow down to?<div>
“Tell me about it. What’s the deal with the other party’s background?” Zhou Chao asked, making Lao Piao feel extremely uneasy.
“Zhou Chao, I’m not very clear about the specifics. I’ve only heard bits and pieces. There was a big streamer who pretended to be a newbie and went to thepanion channel to flirt with the girls. It caused quite a stir. The big streamer and the channel’s customer service got into a heated argument. Eventually, even the boss of the YY channel had to intervene. The next day, there was no mention of the incident online. It’s said that the backers behind YY intervened, so I thought it was just a rumor,” Lao Piao exined.
“Why beat around the bush? Just tell us who the boss behind it is. You’re not usually this hesitant!” Si Cong said impatiently.
“Tencent!”
Upon hearing this, Si Cong fell silent. He knew that if Zhou Chao got involved in this matter, he would definitely take action. So, he quietly waited.
Sure enough, not a few secondster, the sound of a phone ringing came from the channel. Si Cong and Lao Piao both quickly switched to push-to-talk mode, while Zhou Chao didn’t realize that his mic was still open.
Soon, the call was answered, and a voice that both Si Cong and Lao Piao were familiar with came from the other end.
“Zhou Chao, what made you think of calling me? You’re quite the rare visitor!”
“Little Ma, when there’s trouble, it’s hard to resist giving big bro you a littleint!”
Upon hearing this, Little Ma stood up from the sofa, his expression bing serious. If Zhou Chao, this big shot, personally called toin, it meant that someone from his group had offended this big shot.
“Young Master Zhou, I’m not sure what happened. Could you please briefly exin?”
Without hesitation, Zhou Chao recounted the situation to Little Ma.
After hearing the story, Little Ma mentally crossed out thatpanion channel. He had originally thought it was a big issue, but who would have expected such a bizarre turn of events.<div>
“Young Master Zhou, I understand. I’ll give you a response within an hour.”
“Ah, Little Ma, I’m just venting a bit. How to handle it is your internal matter. I won’t get involved!”
At this remark, a wry smile tugged at the corners of Little Ma’s mouth. Did you forget your identity as a private shareholder?
“Hahaha, Young Master Zhou, you’re as amusing as ever!”
After a brief chat, Zhou Chao hung up the phone.
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night. Some people ended up working overtime just because of a phone call.
