At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?

(The previous phone conversation with the Lianxiang leader had been changed to the principal of Linbi No.1 Middle School.)

…

"What's wrong, who pissed you off?"

Seeing Cai Hui cursing into the phone, Yu Xiaochuan raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Man, a school wanted to hire my web army, but I don't want to take it. The waters are too murky, and I'm afraid my fifty thousand troops would just get wiped out."

Cai Hui put his phone aside, his expression turning solemn for the first time.

"A school? What school?"

Yu Xiaochuan pressed.

"Don't you know? The King of Fighters incident at Linbi No.1 Middle School, where the clarification faction and the exposure faction were fiercely arguing. I can't tell if it's rumors or the truth."

"But I know if I get involved, I might make a lot of money, or I might just get wiped out."

Cai Hui explained.

"Damn, it's really better not to wade into such muddy waters; you might just get dragged in yourself."

Yu Xiaochuan thought of the recent Event 61 that had gone viral on Dou Ying. He couldn't help but curse aloud. In these kinds of multifaceted public opinion incidents, Cai Hui was simply not capable of intervening.

If it really was just a rumor, that's good, and money was made. But if not, Cai Hui might land himself in trouble too.

And from his personal point of view, the likelihood of it being just a rumor wasn't high, after all, the eyes of countless netizens are sharp.

The information disclosed by Linbi Middle School also had many glaring holes in it.

Right now, the internet was filled with curses concerning this matter.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Once again, a school bullying incident had hit the headlines.

The key issue, though, was that the trending searches were constantly suppressed, and despite netizens' efforts to increase visibility through various channels, it was futile.

Clearly, there was manipulation from the platform side or some big players behind the scenes.

For a small company like the one run by his buddy Cai Hui, getting involved would either result in being left without even scraps or being cyberbullied to death by netizens.

It was a thankless job, no matter how you looked at it.

"Yeah! We should just stick to our small business and better stay out of anything involving multiple parties."

Cai Hui nodded in agreement, fully endorsing Xiao Chuan's words.

"Besides, regardless of the reason, school bullying is a fact, and the victim has already lost their life forever. Just from this perspective alone, we ordinary people need a definite answer."

He sighed again.

He ran a public opinion management company and was constantly jumping between the gray and white areas, having seen countless similar events over the years.

Events like the 6 plus 1 being exposed were actually the favorable outcomes. In reality, most issues never even reached public awareness.

Capital controlling the online environment wasn't a matter of just a day or two.

His company could keep running precisely because it was needed by capital; whenever there's an issue, capital needs to control public opinion.

To control public opinion, they need people like him.

Cai Hui often questioned himself at night, wondering if he had forgotten his original intentions and whether his conscience was still intact.

Fortunately, he always adhered to his bottom lines, generally refusing to take on such business.

His favorite scenarios were when capitalists fought each other, and he could profit from the situation.

But this was also why his company couldn't grow big.

Capital suppressing capital happens but is rare.

Yet, capital suppressing the common people happens every day.

In their line of work, as long as you throw away your conscience, there's no way not to get rich.

Only he, Cai Hui, couldn't do it.

He was also constantly looking for ways to return to the right path.

So this time, even if it meant no money, he wanted to help his brother Yu Xiaochuan.

Companies like Ideal Paradise, their bosses definitely couldn't be bad people or capitalists.

By helping such companies, such bosses, he was actually helping himself as well.

If everyone just tacitly accepted the rampant actions of capital without doing something about it, the black fog would one day block out the reflected light of the hammer and sickle.

But here, at the end of the Siberian Plain, under the last of the burning prairie!

Everyone should be that spark that ignites the flame.

Cai Hui always remembered, the color of the heart should be red.

"Let's not talk about this anymore, I'm afraid I'll be invited for a 'tea' session," Cai Hui interrupted Yu Xiaochuan before he could continue.

Yu Xiaochuan started choking a bit, but didn't make a sound.

For ordinary people, such matters are indeed too overwhelming, and one can only patiently wait for so-called facts.

Sometimes, even if you know the outcome is wrong, you have to swallow it quietly and convince yourself it's right.

"I have to say, Ideal Paradise is a really good name! Their boss's goals are truly grand, everyone has an ideal, everyone is in paradise,"

Cai Hui suddenly changed the topic.

"Hahaha, yes! Although it always sounds a bit teen-angsty, Mr. Gu has always been taking practical actions,"

Yu Xiaochuan paused for a moment, then grinned and chuckled.

Cai Hui laughed along for a moment, then bowed his head and began to ponder.

He now needed to figure out a way to make the promotion of Ideal Paradise's new game as effective as possible.

But his mind was also consumed by the recent events, and he couldn't concentrate.

"This generation of netizens is emotional... any little debate could potentially become a point of conflict,"

"Using this, can I create a twist? A plot within a plot…"

Cai Hui mused, suddenly reminded of an entertainment event in the past.

That was when an online guitar expert set up an alt account pretending to be a girl imitating himself and was even dubbed the Guitar Goddess by fans.

Then, after stirring up the heat, he initiated a challenge with his own main account.

The fans of the two accounts quarreled incessantly.

In the end, after the PK, the alt account won over the main one, and during the face reveal, the Guitar Goddess took off her wig…

It turned out that the two were the same person. Stay tuned for updates on empire

The fans screamed that they were played!

It was such a self-challenging maneuver that directly propelled the promotional heat to its peak!

Thinking of this case, Cai Hui got an idea.

He could start by creating a buzz for Summoning God Dragon, then have hired posters act like fans of Summoning God Dragon bashing Life Restart Simulator.

Eventually, the simulated armies and God Dragon armies would start fighting, bringing the real fans of both sides into the fray.

When the heat fermented enough, he would unveil the behind-the-scenes company!

Both games are from Ideal Paradise Company, achieving a major turnaround!

Handled well, it might not blow up the whole internet, but it would surely ignite the gaming circles!

The more he thought about it, the more he felt like a genius, and Cai Hui couldn't help but laugh out a goose-like "giggle…"

Yu Xiaochuan looked at him puzzled, not understanding why he suddenly burst into such laughter.

"What? Did you think of something happy? You surely aren't dating behind my back, are you? We agreed, no marriage until we've saved up half a million!"

"You got money? You go date! No money means you're just settling physical needs, right?"

Yu Xiaochuan eyed him suspiciously as Cai Hui seemed too much like a lovestruck fool thinking of his goddess!

"What the hell, dude! Do I look like that kind of guy? Say no dating, and no dating, won't find a girlfriend until I save the half million!"

Cai Hui's face hardened, pretending to be displeased.

Yu Xiaochuan sipped some miso soup, "So what are you laughing about?"

Cai Hui grinned mischievously, "Hey, come closer…"

Yu Xiaochuan leaned in to listen as Cai Hui muttered his recent idea into his ear.

"Hehehe… you're so naughty, I really like it!"

Yu Xiaochuan listened and joined him in the mischievous laughter.

Cai Hui: "You're not gay, are you?"

Yu Xiaochuan: "Get lost, dude!"
