Chapter 23 Let's each talk about our own things.
Not long after the negative elimination card was used.
Su Ming checked Chen Lu's comment section using his account and could no longer find the negative messages.
What you can see are mostly normal discussions or praise for Chen Lu.
Even the trending topics on social media changed from "Chen Lu is ungrateful" to "Chen Lu is a good girl".
He clicked on the trending search terms and the first thing that appeared were several videos with over a million likes.
He had seen the first video before.
That was a video that completely smeared Chen Lu.
The video is still the same video, the author hasn't changed, and even the release time hasn't changed.
But the content has been completely changed.
The person who originally claimed to be a low-level employee of the company is now tearfully accusing Haoyou Media of exploitation.
"I was forced to release those videos by the company, but now I've had a change of heart."
"Sister Chen Lu is very kind to us. She even brings us late-night snacks every time we work overtime."
"The company's leaders are disgusting; they forced her to sign unfair terms."
"Her resistance was forced upon her, and all the compensation money was her own hard-earned savings."
The person in the video is currently defending Chen Lu with all their might, while also condemning the evil deeds of Haoyou Media.
Su Ming was greatly shocked when he saw these contents.
"Holy crap! The system not only changed the outcome, but it even made the process look perfectly legitimate."
This isn't just blocking, it's like they completely rewrote the script for the main character!
The online onlookers were completely dumbfounded.
"Holy crap, weren't we just talking bad about him?"
"So that's how it is. I knew Chen Lu didn't seem like that kind of person."
"Haoyou Media is so mean, bullying a young girl."
"Support Chen Lu, and crush that garbage company Haoyou."
The wind direction instantly reversed 180 degrees.
What was originally a major smear campaign against Chen Lu has turned into a situation where many people stand up to support Chen Lu and denounce the company's misconduct.
In the manager's office of Haoyou Media, the bald man looked at the comments on his phone.
His face turned green with anger, looking like a poisoned eggplant.
"Damn it!! This bitch is playing me!" The bald man slammed his hand on the table.
Without saying a word, he went straight to the office of Mr. Lin, the business manager.
With a loud "bang!", the door was kicked open.
The bald man rushed up to the woman, startling her.
"Mr. Xu... what are you doing?"
The woman was completely unaware of what was happening, her phone still browsing shopping apps.
She looked at the bald man in front of her, trembling and somewhat frightened.
The bald man slammed the door shut, rushed forward, grabbed the woman's hair, and yanked her off the chair.
"Are you still pretending to be innocent? Look at this! Huh?"
He shoved his phone screen right in front of Mr. Lin's face.
Mr. Lin cautiously looked over and saw that the comment section, which should have been criticizing Chen Lu for being ungrateful, was now full of people criticizing Haoyou Media.
The influencer in the video was his subordinate, and the content was completely different from before.
"No...that's impossible!" President Lin's pupils contracted slightly, and a look of shock appeared on his face.
She immediately realized something, as if she had thought of something, and broke free from Mr. Xu's grasp.
"Mr. Xu, this is definitely a hacker attack, it's been tampered with by AI. Our online army has already been deployed."
As she spoke, she brought up her phone screen and handed it to the bald man.
"Mr. Xu, look, nothing's been done to my backend. And... strange! Why can't I delete the comments and videos??"
"System busy? What the heck is this?"
......
After his outburst, the bald man calmed down, but he still couldn't accept it.
"Contact the public relations department immediately and find a way to handle this; we can't let the situation escalate any further."
He was issuing orders to General Manager Lin when a question suddenly occurred to him.
Could it be that Chen Lu has someone backing him up, or that he has found an even more powerful patron?
It seems I need to ask his official friends for clarification.
Shining Stars Operations Department.
The man who was previously called Brother Tie stared wide-eyed.
It's refreshing the data in the backend.
"Holy shit! Holy shit, holy shit!"
His string of exclamations drew the attention of his colleagues.
"What's wrong?" The girl who used to love gossiping came over.
Upon closer inspection, her face instantly froze.
The number of views for Chen Lu's promotional video skyrocketed, and the previously overwhelming negative comments were now all unanimously "supporting Chen Lu".
"What... what's going on?" The girl rubbed her eyes, looking incredulous.
"What happened to those troll comments? Were they deleted? Wait, that was way too fast!"
"How should I know? It's like magic."
Immediately, a name came to mind.
The girl next to her also thought of this name at the same time.
"Su Ming!" they both exclaimed in unison.
"Holy crap, is this the plot twist he was talking about?"
"How did he do that?"
Hearing their surprised discussion, their colleagues gathered around.
"What's going on? Why are you two so surprised?"
The girl pointed at the computer screen as if she had discovered a new world.
"Look, this promotional video only had a little over 20 views around noon."
And now, the number of views has exceeded 500 million.
"Isn't this normal? It's just that the traffic pool has been breached." Someone next to him shrugged.
"Then look again. At noon, the comment section was full of haters."
"What used to be angry criticism of Chen Lu has now turned into support for him."
"Even the trending topics, hashtags, and videos have completely changed. What does this mean?"
"What does that mean?" The person next to him was completely confused.
"Do you guys remember what Su Ming posted in the group chat yesterday?"
"You mean a plot twist?"
"That's right! There's only one possibility that could achieve this in such a short time."
The girl suddenly smiled smugly, "That's why the cunning frog kept touching your belly."
"It's confirmed: Su Ming is actually the illegitimate son of a senior executive at Douyin."
The girl said those words one by one.
After he finished speaking, the room fell silent.
It was a silence of not knowing what to say, a silence that made people think the girl was daydreaming.
But upon closer reflection, it seems to make some sense.
"It's true that this is difficult for most people to do, but... haven't you considered another possibility?"
The girl was taken aback. "What's possible?"
"That is, all of this was actually controlled by Su Ming."
He had planned all of this long ago, using conflicts and controversies to generate traffic.
"Once the hype reaches its peak, he'll then stage a reversal to clear his name."
"I think that's more likely. What do you think?"
As expected, the big boss is indeed a big boss.
"Now I understand why Mr. Zhang put him in charge of this live broadcast."
"Learning has no end, I'm completely outmatched. After the live stream, I'll go and ask him to be my apprentice..."
"Okay!" The girl suddenly stood up. "I'll go and become your apprentice right now, and from now on we'll each follow our own path."
"I'll call you Brother Tie, and you call me Senior Sister!"
