Chapter 277 The Wanderers Association doesn't care?
The next day, after returning to the club, he adjusted his mindset, re-recorded and released a clarification video.
In this video, Xiaobai stopped making empty promises.
This time, she spoke with concrete results, introducing the club's previous escort efforts and subtly pointing out that someone was deliberately targeting them in the danger zone.
In the hours following the video's release, although a large number of online trolls were still stirring up trouble, the overall reaction was much better than before.
Many rational solo players began to analyze the situation objectively in the comments section. Some even shared that they seemed to know all the solo players in the Zero Dam area except for those from Club 78, suspecting that it was a deliberate sniping by a team.
Online opinion is beginning to turn around. Although the doubts haven't completely disappeared, at least the club's reputation hasn't continued to deteriorate.
After recording the video, Xiaobai saw Han Che walk into the house and lean against the table, quietly watching her.
"You're here? Sit down." Xiaobai turned off the computer and pointed to the chair at the workstation next to her.
Xiao Bai doesn't have his own office; this room is a cubicle, but it's empty right now.
"The club is so deserted, are you all alone?" Han Che pulled over a chair and sat down facing Xiao Bai not far away.
"Old Zhou is still in the hospital, and Qiu Ying and Mule should still be there," Xiao Bai sighed softly.
After a moment of silence, Han Che started the conversation.
"Although it was a bit of a mess, we managed to evacuate successfully this time. According to what we said before, I guess I won the bet this time?" Han Che raised his eyebrows and looked at the man sitting down, smiling smugly.
"Fifteen people were chasing and intercepting you, and the entire squad managed to escape unscathed. That's not too bad. You won the bet." Xiao Bai chuckled as she looked at his expression.
"The club is currently in dire need of top-tier players, so if you could recommend a friend, that would be a huge help."
Han Che gently scratched his cheek with his fingers. He felt no pride in his successful evacuation; his eyes were filled with regret for not being able to clear the map.
"Don't get your hopes up too high for my friend," Han Che said, his expression slightly embarrassed.
"I have to give you a heads-up beforehand. My friend... his brain is a bit different from normal people, he's pretty mentally unstable."
Xiao Bai covered her mouth and chuckled, waving her hand and saying, "Okay, okay, I understand. There are plenty of eccentric people in the free agent circle, I can handle it."
Seeing that Xiaobai didn't take it seriously, Han Che recalled Raven's wide grin and silently felt a chill run down his spine.
Han Che paused, then his smile faded, and he said more seriously, "Okay. Then I'll go and invite my friend here; he won't be able to come to the club for a few days."
"What will you guys do on your own while I'm gone? Be very careful of the Joker Gang, they won't let this go. I'll deal with them when I get back."
Upon hearing the words "Clown Gang," Xiao Bai's smile gradually faded, and he nodded with a slightly serious expression, saying, "I understand. I left a message for Uncle Li yesterday. I explained to him in detail the Clown Gang's unusual practice of recently taking over operations in dangerous areas."
"Uncle Li? The one we met last time, the president of the Sanren Association?" Han Che frowned slightly as he recalled the man and asked with some doubt.
"The Joker Gang caused such a huge commotion at Dam Zero, this almost dragnet-like encirclement, and the Casual Players Association didn't care? How could the chairman be completely unaware?"
Xiao Bai sighed and explained, "Uncle Li spends most of his time in meetings at the official headquarters in the Great World, where he coordinates the overall defense strategy."
"He has actually been less involved in the affairs of the local association in the past year or two, and has mainly delegated the daily work to the vice presidents and core management."
"However, after receiving my message today, he specifically called back and said he would personally keep an eye on this matter. If he puts pressure on us, the Joker Gang might behave themselves a bit within the organization recently, and we can finally breathe a sigh of relief."
At this point, Xiaobai's voice suddenly faltered.
As if some clues had suddenly come together in her mind, she stared at Han Che's calm face in disbelief.
He asked somewhat hesitantly, "Wait a minute... judging from your tone, you mean... there's something wrong with the managers within the Casual Players Association?"
Han Che nodded slightly and said calmly, "I don't know, I'm just guessing."
Xiao Bai took a deep breath, nodded solemnly, and kept Han Che's words in mind.
Just then, Xiaobai's phone, which was on the table, suddenly vibrated.
The screen lit up, displaying a somewhat familiar yet unfamiliar number. Xiaobai raised an eyebrow slightly upon seeing the number.
"Boss Zhao," Xiaobai said, looking at Han Che.
Han Che nodded. "Go ahead and accept it."
Xiao Bai took a slight breath, answered the call, and turned on speakerphone.
"Hello, Mr. Han Che, it's me, Boss Zhao!" A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone, and it was clear that the other party was in a good mood.
Xiao Bai gave Han Che a look, and Han Che blinked slightly. Then Xiao Bai spoke up, "Boss Zhao, it's me, Xiao Bai."
Xiao Bai's voice was steady, and he remained polite and proper.
The voice on the other end paused noticeably, probably checking if the number had been entered correctly.
The phone rang again after a moment, this time with a slightly awkward tone, "Ah, it's Boss Xiaobai."
"It's me, Boss Zhao. I'm Xiaobai. What can I do for you?"
"Uh, I saw this number on Mr. Han Che's business card, so I called..."
"Oh, it's like this. Han Che has left my number. You can contact me directly if you need to discuss any business." Xiao Bai said calmly.
"Um, do you have Mr. Han's contact information? I'd like to talk to him about something privately." Boss Zhao's voice was no longer enthusiastic.
"Boss Zhao, Han Che is the kind of person who hates trouble. If there's anything you need, you should just tell me."
Mr. Zhao chuckled a few times on the other end of the phone, and then the air fell silent for a moment.
Seemingly feeling that going in circles was a waste of time, Boss Zhao on the other end of the phone suddenly stopped smiling and his tone became somewhat stiff.
"Alright, Boss Xiaobai, let's stop beating around the bush."
"I'm calling today to discuss a legitimate business deal with you," Boss Zhao said with an air of unquestionable arrogance.
"Let's not beat around the bush. With Boss Xiaobai's intelligence, he should have already guessed that I'm a headhunter from Fengming Club."
"This phone call today was at the behest of our senior management. Our Fengming Club wants to recruit Mr. Han Che."
