Account Frozen (Seeking Collection, Recommendation Tickets)

One of the top ten newspaper agencies in Juncheng, the Lin Yin Newspaper Agency, had its boss sitting in his office, gazing at the heated online scolding. He slumped back into his chair.

"How could this happen? How is this possible? This video... and what other evidence! This..."

"Quick! Publish a clarification immediately, say... say we were also deceived!"

The boss burst out of his office, roaring frantically.

The editor-in-chief, busy on his phone, was also sweating profusely from anxiety!

As if relieved, he put down his phone and smiled, "It's already out. It should... it should be fine."

"It's out?" The boss was overjoyed. As long as they clarified, the scolding would eventually die down. This was their usual tactic, and it was always very effective!

"Alright, that's settled. You guys keep an eye on it. I'm going back for some tea to calm my nerves!" The boss returned to his office, satisfied.

Some time later, the supervisor working outside picked up his phone again. Looking at the numerous comments inside, he smiled.

But...

A while later, he directly received a private message.

It was a private message from the official Doushi account.

After reading the message, the editor-in-chief's face changed drastically, losing all color.

He stood up shakily, looking towards the boss's office, his lips trembling.

After a moment, he mustered the courage and pushed open the door, "Boss..."

"What is it? Didn't we already publish it? Has the situation calmed down?" The boss sat comfortably in his office chair, sipping his tea.

"No, no..."

The editor-in-chief braced himself and said, "Our official account has been shut down!"

"What? How is that possible? Shut down?" The boss looked up in horror. The teacup in his hand clattered to the floor, shattering into pieces. The scalding tea spilled onto his thigh, and he let out a pig-like scream!

They had invested so much money into cultivating this official account.

To gain followers and traffic, they had poured almost all their income from several years into it, in terms of both manpower and resources.

And now they were telling him the official account was shut down?

"Yes... yes... boss, the message came from Doushi official. They said... the number of reports reached tens of millions! The video we posted violated regulations!"

Crack~

The boss tried to stand up but stepped on a large shard of the teacup. Combined with the water on the floor, he fell directly to the ground.

He landed face-first into the broken pieces, and blood immediately began to flow.

Several cuts appeared on his face. He rolled on the ground for a long time before getting up. Clutching his face, ignoring the pain, he frantically grabbed the editor-in-chief, "Go, go notify the bosses of the other newspaper agencies. We must get the account back. Oh, and don't we have Manager Huang's number from Doushi? Call him and ask him to help. We absolutely must get it back!"

"Yes, boss, I'll do it right away!"

The editor-in-chief rushed out, but returned less than five minutes later.

Looking at the boss cleaning his wounds, he gritted his teeth and said, "Boss... Manager Huang said... he can't help us with this matter. He also said we offended their biggest shareholder."

"The biggest shareholder?"

"I heard recently that over fifty percent of Doushi's shares were acquired! Could this new major shareholder... know the person we targeted?"

"No... no, Manager Huang said that the person we targeted... is their major shareholder!"

Boom~

This statement was like a bolt from the blue. He collapsed back into his chair, his face ashen!

The other newspaper agencies were in the same predicament.

Facing the shutdown of numerous media outlets simultaneously, Doushi itself was unfazed.

After all, these were just local media in Juncheng. Doushi catered to a national audience, and losing their accounts on Doushi was a loss for these media outlets.

For a behemoth like Doushi, it was insignificant.

The major media outlets in Juncheng were shrouded in gloom.

However, many smaller media outlets reaped the benefits.

Suddenly, they began to promote heavily, absorbing the traffic from Juncheng.

Eventually, some even became one of the top media outlets in Juncheng overnight.

As for the top ten media outlets, they suffered heavy blows.

Amidst this atmosphere, someone finally couldn't stand it any longer and dialed the phones of ten media outlets.

Some other affected newspaper agencies also received calls.

"Huang Yun Grand Hotel! Come quickly."

With just a few words, they knew what was going on.

This was a call from the largest media outlet in Juncheng, and the one most severely affected.

Naturally, they wanted revenge.

And so, everyone started their cars and headed towards the Huang Yun Grand Hotel.

The Huang Yun Grand Hotel, which was originally quite quiet with not many guests, and not yet peak dining hours, hadn't seen much foot traffic.

However, in just half an hour, the area outside the Huang Yun Grand Hotel was filled with all sorts of luxury cars.

Major media figures, individuals rarely seen on a daily basis, rushed into the grand hotel, one after another, their faces grim, as if they had lost their parents.

Under the charge of the crowd, they quickly occupied a large private room.

Everyone waited in the room, as time ticked by, drop by drop.

After an unknown amount of time, the door outside was finally opened.

A balding middle-aged man with a beer belly walked in. This man was named 'Chen Wei,' the biggest media mogul in the county.

He was also the organizer of this gathering, all for the sake of... the numerous media outlets affected by the incident?

This sudden account suspension had caused them heavy losses.

Under such circumstances, it was naturally impossible for him to remain unaffected.

Besides, it seemed no one else could rally this many people.

"Is everyone here?" Chen Wei glanced at the crowd and smiled.

Under everyone's gaze, Chen Wei sat down, looking relaxed and completely unconcerned.

Seeing this, everyone hesitantly asked, "Manager Chen, what's going on?"

"Yeah, Manager Chen, do you have a solution? Why aren't you worried at all?"

"Hahaha!"

Chen Wei burst into laughter, "A solution? It's not like there isn't one!"

He glanced at everyone, smiling, and didn't say anything more.

The crowd grew anxious. One person even stepped forward and grabbed Chen Wei's hand, "Manager Chen, please tell us what the solution is. We're suffering terribly right now. Having our accounts sealed is simply the heaviest blow to us."

"That's right, Manager Chen, please help us!"

"Manager Chen, if you don't save us, we're truly finished!"

Chen Wei surveyed the crowd, remained silent for a moment, and finally said with gravity, "I've called you all here to leverage everyone's strength. Otherwise, I can't accomplish this alone!"

"Oh? What is it you're referring to, Manager Chen?"

"This matter... it's also based on some information I unexpectedly obtained. Do you all know about Biyue Bay Beach?"

A group of media bosses exchanged glances. "Of course, we know."

"Haha! I happen to know a wealthy individual nearby who has been coveting this land for a long time. Perhaps we can create some major news here and turn the situation around!"
