Chapter 648: Someone Posted a Video First

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

September 12th, Monday…

The first-ever GOG International invitational tournament was in its third day.

Fei Huang Workspace and many others were watching it online.

The video exposing the formaldehyde-filled rooms will be done in one or two days. To most of the people, their work was done.

Therefore, those who were free could watch the competition and relax.

One could hear a burst of cheers from Fei Huang Workspace every time the game progressed to an exciting part.

Zhu Xiaoce was waiting for the export of the video with his staff.

The editing and post-production might have been completed, but it was still unknown whether the video would be satisfactory or not after export. He would probably have to fine-tune it twice or thrice before it could be published online.

Waiting for the video to be exported was always very boring, so much that the two people responsible were also watching GOG's international invitational tournament.

"This tournament is really well done, and all the details were in place. Shang Yang Games must have put in so much effort," the editor said.

Zhu Xiaoce nodded. "Yes, the GOG international invitational tournament really put much effort into it. The previous esports competitions were basically not able to achieve such a level. Boss Pei is very ambitious this time!

"But this is not surprising when you think about the things that happened in Times Square before. Boss Pei had already thought about burning big money to promote GOG. It would be strange if this international invitational tournament was run in a small way."

Jiang Huan was being interviewed on the live screen.

All the bullet screen comments quickly drifted past, covering the entire screen.

"He appeared! DGE's strongest man!"

"The way to judge strength is very simple and only needed to follow two laws: DGE's first law is that they only had strong muscular men. Now, their strength and muscle mass of the professional players in the club were proportional. The second law of DGE Club was that whoever was the most noob would need to take the additional practice lessons. That meant that overall muscle mass and strength were inversely proportional!"

"Jiang Huan belongs to the category of muscular mass but with the least muscles. That meant that he had the least extra training in the DGE Club. This kind of strength could be described in three words, 'unfathomable and terrifying'!

"Esports competitions could use their body to judge the strength of the players, which is outrageous!"

"I'm really curious about what the sacred DGE Club is. They are invincible both online and offline; they are invincible in solo and group fights! Everyone could get MVP even after being distributed to other teams. How scary!"

"Explain the competition? That's precious historical data!"

"This is the legendary 'gather and become a ball of fire, scatter and be starry skies'?"

"A mysterious club that does not play in competitions. They only make money by selling its players, a really money-making genius!"

Zhu Xiaoce could not help but laugh as he looked at these playful bullet screen comments.

These entertaining netizens were really too capable!

Originally, Huang Wang had a 'boxer' title. In the first two days of the competition, many people took a deep look at the ten members of the DGE Club and found that they all appeared in this international invitational tournament. They all appeared in the international invitational tournament and actually played to MVP level.

That was very ridiculous!

Many times the results of the fight between two teams really depended on which side of the DGE Club player was stronger.

The audience would look at the player being interviewed with expectation in every post-match interview. As expected, it was another muscular man!

They could confirm that this was a former member of the DGE Club by looking at his muscles!

This muscle was simply a walking billboard; whatever they went, they were advertisements of the DGE Club and Deposit Fitness.

What was even more outrageous was that before the start of many games, the audience would cheer for DGE after cheering for the two teams. That became a trend.

The winner of the esports was king, and the audience naturally admired the strong. The weak were not worthy of applause.

If the other clubs were like the DGE Club, there might be no competition. Every player could influence the direction of the game, which indefinitely elevated DGE's position in the eyes of the audience.

After a few days of competition, DGE Club's fans had a lot more fans than the other clubs combined!

Zhu Xiaoce was envious of watching: "The atmosphere in the scene was really good, but it is a pity that I have to cut the film recently and don't have the time to watch it."

The editor asked curiously. "Director Zhu, is the Deposit Fitness that good? These players have been practicing for a few months. How come they have more obvious results than me when I trained for nearly a year?"

Tengda had issued fitness cards to all employees previously so that the employees would have some fitness habits.

Many people would not experience many changes even after they went to the gym for some time.

Zhu Xiaoce smiled. "How did you train? Lacking perseverance and continuity, you sometimes go there for less than two days a week. You don't bother about what you eat. How did others train? They have strict training schedules and can only eat their fitness meals. Can the effects of everyday gym compare to that of the Deposit Fitness?"

"However, don't worry. Deposit Fitness will soon be popularized as an employee benefit. That should be Boss Pei's purpose, opening so many branches of Deposit Fitness near their company and trialing it out."

The editor froze for a moment. "Huh? Really? Why didn't I hear about it?"

"I heard from Guo Licheng that Boss Pei originally wanted to wait for a while after he opened the branches before letting his employees use them. As a result, they were full before the employees could even use them," Zhu Xiaoce said.

"The reputation of the original Deposit Fitness had been accumulating. Tengda Life App and Fish-Catching Take-Out had also provided Deposit Fitness with a good reputation. The slots were full for the peak period.

"The competition some time ago had ignited the heat of the Deposit Fitness. On the one hand, the figures of the players were too conspicuous. The advertising effect was too good. On the other hand, when many people inquired, they found that the fitness effect was indeed immediate. Many people who used it agreed that it is effective—which is why so many people signed up during the past two days!

"You don't know how difficult it is to grab a place in Deposit Fitness now.

"I have to say that Boss Pei's publicity strategy was very calm. Think about it, it is not easy to simply advertise a gym. The others would definitely not believe it. However, it is definitely something if you can train all internet teenagers into muscle men.

"Those who like to work out know that Deposit Fitness must be something if they can train internet-addicted teenagers who hate sports! I asked friends around, and they said that they will definitely sign up if Deposit Fitness can really help, even if it is a little more expensive.

"However, only Boss Pei could use such methods. How could any ordinary gym be able to spend a few months to train internet-addicted teenagers? They were all thinking about making quick money and running away in a few months.

"However, Boss Pei was not the same. It is obviously for a long-term goal even if they had lost money for a few months just for the sake of reputation!

"The photos of the comparison of the DGE Club members' body changes in the gym were going crazy online. This is a live advertisement!"

The editor also nodded frequently. "Indeed, Boss Pei's move was really wonderful. The heat of the World finals promoted both the DGE Club and Deposit Fitness.

"When will this good thing come to our internal employees?"

Zhu Xiaoce asked confidently. "Don't worry, Boss Pei will not forget us. The Deposit Fitness gym is now full. He will definitely continue to open branches for us. It is a matter of time.

"It is said that the Sloth Apartments was also prepared as a staff dormitory by Boss Pei, but he's still thinking about it."

The editor was a little puzzled. "Why is he still thinking about it? What is he waiting for?"

Zhu Xiaoce could not answer it. He thought about it and replied. "Perhaps to see if this business model will be successful or not? Perhaps it will be used as an employee benefit when it is confirmed that it can be successful.

"Perhaps the Sloth Apartments had some unique features that must be verified."

The two of them chatted while an employee ran over.

"Director Zhu, look at this! Someone is one step ahead of us!"

Zhu Xiaoce took over the cell phone and was taken aback.

The title of the video is "Rented Apartment Formaldehyde Evaluation: Safe House by Home Corporation, Snail Apartments, and six other rental companies. Only one of them passes the evaluation!"

The publisher was a domestic technology evaluation media.

Zhu Xiaoce froze for a moment… because he knew that this technology evaluation media had a good reputation in the digital circle.

However, why did such a company test formaldehyde in houses?

It was a video that lasted nearly half an hour. The content in it was almost the same as the one being produced by Fei Huang Workspace.

First of all, some consumers have reported excessive formaldehyde and health damage in rented apartments. Some employees of this company had also stayed in formaldehyde houses.

This evaluation media began to recruit volunteers to test the formaldehyde rooms after that.

As compared to Fei Huang Workspace, they did not target Home Corporation but conducted random inspections on six rental companies, including the Safe House from Home Corporation and Snail Apartments.

The final result for the Safe House of Home Corporation was that all the readings for the houses they stayed within three months were over the limits, more than half of the houses in three to six months were over the limits while at least one house would be still over the limits after six months.

Snail Apartments, which has the same model as Home Corporation, also went over the limits for formaldehyde.

Only all houses from Sloth Apartments passed the test and were obviously lower than the national limits!

In the end, the evaluation media also had current basic knowledge, for example, the best way to get rid of formaldehyde was to open the windows to allow it to dissipate. However, that in itself was a long process. Therefore, there was no better method once someone was to stay in such a house.

This video was not so detailed in its editing compared with Fei Huang Workspace. However, this company was rather famous in the digital circle. Its objectivity and independence would not be doubted.

Moreover, they tested six companies in their video; therefore, their content was much more complete.

There was already a heated discussion below the video and on the Weibo of this evaluator.

"Isn't that killing people? So much formaldehyde, it might cause cancer within a few months of staying in it."

"How dare they call it 'Safe House'? Safe in what way? Die safely?"

"I opened my window out of fear!"

"It is true. I have worked at Safe House for one month previously. One of the tenants told me repeatedly that there is a smell. I checked it out, and I really felt there was something wrong! Therefore, I asked my boss 'is there something wrong with this house?' The boss told me not to care about it; this is the industry rules. I left after that. I need money, but I will not do anything against my conscience!"

"Thinking about it now, the smell was very strong when I went to view the Safe House. The agent told me that I can move in the next day if I were to sign the contract now. He also guaranteed that he would get a cleaning company to get rid of the formaldehyde. Haha, luckily, I didn't believe him!"

"Snail Apartments always say that they do things with more conscience than the Safe House from Home Corporation? Now, the results really slap their own faces!"

"The Sloth Apartments passed all the national standards tests? That's too ridiculous; didn't they just finish renovations less than two months ago?"

"In theory, using environmentally friendly materials for renovations and furniture plus having a fresh air ventilation system would definitely be able to achieve it. However, the cost will be higher."

"Yes, they were introduced in the video as well. It seemed like the ventilation in Sloth Apartments was on 24/7, and the furniture is all of good quality."

"In the end, Boss Pei is still the one with the most conscience! So many black posts of various Sloth Apartments were posted during this time, such as IQ tax, rent raising, profiteering, and the like. The results of the evaluation were really a slap in the competitors' face!"

"As expected, Tengda's physical industry might not be cheap, but they were definitely of good quality! Take these apartments for example: if it was not because someone went to dig about it, who would know that the Safe House and Sloth Apartments are a world apart?"

"Sigh, I really have to say, many times, it is not because Tengda did fantastically well, but their peers did too poorly!"

The netizens were absolutely fired up.

Most people renting were young; that was especially true in first-tier cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou. They had stringent requirements for their places of rental.

The housing needs of the young were relatively high. Generally, no one wanted to live in old houses. They all wanted to live in better housing such as Safe House and Snail Apartments.

However, how could have thought that all these were just appearance?

The renovations that looked pretty good was, in fact, cutting corners in invisible places while seriously damaging the lives and health of the consumers.

Moreover, the young were the main group of people on the net. They were livid seeing such news which was why its popularity went up instantly!

The editor was in a fix after watching the video.

"Director Zhu, erm… what should we do with our video?"
