366: Uncle Xu is patriotic
The next day, reporters from Huaxia Daily arrived at Aoyou Tianxia Game Company, hoping to film a documentary interview with Xu Lian.
For Huaxia Daily to proactively come to the door and request a personal interview documentary, one must have made significant contributions to the country to qualify for such a privilege.
This incident had already spread like wildfire both domestically and abroad. Regardless of whether it was domestic or Foreign, Xu Lian was considered a somewhat well-known figure, almost universally recognized in the gaming industry. Thus, this small matter quickly became a sensation!
Xu Lian was quite surprised by the Huaxia Daily reporter's initiative to request an interview! In fact, when he donated those one hundred billion, Xu Lian didn't think much of it, nor did he expect it to blow up so much, causing such a huge stir... it was truly astonishing.
However, facing the enthusiastic invitation from Huaxia Daily, Xu Lian still agreed to the interview.
Since they had already come to him, refusing would truly seem too arrogant. If word got out, who knows how many people would gossip behind his back!
Moreover, it was just a personal interview, which only had benefits for him, no drawbacks.
...
The next day.
On Beiwo Live Platform, in the Dungeon & Fighter section, Lin Shufen was normally streaming the game in her live room, but the bullet comments from the audience were all discussing Xu Lian's matter.
Everyone in the bullet comments was full of praise for Xu Lian.
"Old Thief Xu is truly amazing! He secretly donated one hundred billion, and if he hadn't said it himself, no one would have known!"
"Do good deeds, and don't ask about the future! My goodness, this Old Thief Xu is truly unbelievably awesome. I'm completely convinced. One hundred billion in one go, too impressive!"
"Haha, as one of the players of Aoyou Tianxia Games, the one hundred billion Xu Lian donated is also equivalent to the money we players donated! (Dog head for self-preservation)"
"Brothers, my fifty-meter broadsword is ready. Today, I'm going to give you a piece of my mind. A treasure sword unsheathed cannot go without drawing blood!"
"This brother, your ability to distort concepts is truly strong. You can make the dead sound alive. I admire you, you're really interesting!"
"But seriously, what these brothers are saying is indeed true. We are all players under Aoyou Tianxia. Of the one hundred billion Xu Lian donated to the University of Science and Technology, there must be a part contributed by us. I'm already a xin yue vip member VIP10 and have spent a lot of money in it!"
"Compared to those capitalists who only know how to make money, Xu Lian's action is practically a slap in their face, especially by donating one hundred billion to the University of Science and Technology. This clearly indicates he wants to tell everyone something."
"To support Old Thief Xu, I topped up another ten thousand in the game. Brothers, do you think what I'm doing is right?"
"Yes, yes, yes, as long as you top up in Aoyou Tianxia's games, it's absolutely right, no mistake, you're always right!"
"Sister Qiu!!! Huaxia Daily just released Old Thief Xu's personal interview video, aren't you going to watch it?"
The audience in Lin Shufen's live room were all praising Xu Lian. Everyone expressed both surprise and admiration for his this time silently donating one hundred billion.
Now that the situation was laid out before everyone, even if someone wanted to criticize Xu Lian, they would be met with backlash from countless people.
Xu Lian was now like a god.
Lin Shufen, busy with her live stream, saw the bullet comments mentioning the start of Xu Lian's interview. She stopped the game she was playing, no longer continuing to stream, and instead opened the interview program page.
Recalling, Lin Shufen had known Xu Lian for almost three years, and they had even added each other on WeChat. Although they hadn't chatted much recently, their contact information remained, never deleted.
She had wanted to message Xu Lian several times, but always couldn't muster the courage, always feeling that the gap between them was too great.
But no matter what, she was still very concerned about Xu Lian.
When she opened the program page and saw Xu Lian at first glance, Lin Shufen's heart pounded, and she couldn't help but murmur, "Xu Lian is much handsomer than before."
...
"Xu Lian, welcome to our program.
To be honest, I've never had the experience of interviewing a game company boss before, and I'm very curious today!" The Huaxia Daily host said with a smile.
This opening style made many people feel novel.
Those who weren't clear might mistakenly think this was deliberately making things difficult for Xu Lian, but in reality, it was just to let the public understand Xu Lian's identity better.
The host quickly asked a question that many people were concerned about: "Why did you donate? What do you think about some people saying you did it for traffic?"
This question was also what many capitalists wanted to know. After all, who would think there were no other motives behind casually donating one hundred billion?
But Xu Lian's answer stunned everyone.
"We earned a lot of money in Huaxia, isn't it normal to donate some of it?" Xu Lian replied with a smile, "As for saying I donated to gain attention, to be honest, one hundred billion could generate far more traffic than it has now. Do I need to do that? Are the people who say that out of their minds?"
Xu Lian's answer was crisp and clean, without any flaws, and what he said was the truth—he didn't donate to attract attention.
Next, the Huaxia Daily host asked several more questions, and Xu Lian answered them fluently!
He looked as if he had a script.
But who has the ability to make Huaxia Daily fake something? Probably no one could do that!
Lin Shufen finished playing the video of Xu Lian's interview with Huaxia Daily in her live room.
While the video was playing, everyone watched intently, no one sending bullet comments!
But as soon as the program ended, the bullet comments in the live room instantly exploded!
"Grandpa Xu is Grandpa Xu! With this personality, I have to call him 'Dad'! He does whatever he wants, without thinking too much!"
"Although some things weren't directly asked, and Xu Lian didn't state them explicitly, I can confirm that Grandpa Xu's donation of one hundred billion is definitely for some reason!"
"Grandpa Xu's way of doing things is truly amazing! He really should be this awesome, and he's very confident.
This style is truly not something ordinary people can compare to."
"Is this called arrogant? If you were Grandpa Xu's age and earned so much money, wouldn't you be arrogant? If it were me, I might be ten times more arrogant than Grandpa Xu! Besides, Xu Lian has never truly been arrogant. He is very low-key in everything he does. This kind of low-key is not something ordinary people can compare to."
"That's absolutely right, others like to heavily publicize whatever they do, wishing everyone knew.
But Grandpa Xu never does that; he's always especially low-key no matter what he does~."
"Grandpa Xu can truly be said to be a man of passion, doing everything flawlessly.
Such an amazing person, we fans should indeed follow him.
Most importantly, Grandpa Xu is patriotic!"
