Suppressing the buzz
With the arrival of the little cute girl, we now have a host.
The little cute girl has arrived, and even sponsors have come along.
"Need money? Do you need to bother my brother with something this small? Just tell me how much you need, here's a check, just add the zeros yourself!"
Accompanying the little cute girl was Huang Lu. Upon hearing that the production team was short of funds, she immediately pulled out her own card without hesitation.
Looking at Huang Lu's youthful face, Boss Xu couldn't help but find it amusing.
"Little girl, stop fooling around. How much pocket money could you possibly have? Do you know what my tens of millions in assets and businesses mean?"
"Only tens of millions? That's alright, only slightly less than my pet dog's allowance!"
Huang Lu said, with a flourish of her hand, she left an eight-figure sum on the check.
Holy crap?
Miss Huang, are you still looking for a dog?
I'm really good at barking!
Boss Xu held the check in both hands, tears welling in his eyes, while slapping himself repeatedly in the face.
"Miss Huang, I was blind just now!"
"Waaaaah, so this is what rich people are like!"
"So this is what it feels like to be slapped in the face by a rich person!"
With the funds in place, Boss Xu immediately felt more confident.
"Everyone, stop standing there and get to work!"
After standing up again, Xu Yi's back and legs were no longer sore. He clapped his hands and urged everyone to get back to work.
Xu Yi was already used to his younger sister's methods and had long since become numb to them.
"Xu Yi is truly a talented person!"
As he watched Xu Yi leave, Boss Xu uttered a sigh, when he suddenly felt a chill all around him.
Wait, why did everyone follow Xu Yi?
That doesn't make sense, does it?
He's the Boss!
Why is everyone surrounding Xu Yi?
Everyone sat back down at the conference table, full of energy.
They had the money and the good-looking cast, but when Xu Yi asked how the show was going to be made, everyone fell silent again.
Across the street is a restaurant giant with tens of thousands of stores. Even if they had the guts, they wouldn't dare to target such a group.
Only the little cute girl and Huang Lu stared wide-eyed at Xu Yi with curiosity.
"Brother Xu, you're planning to cooperate with Huangshi Group? You're amazing! I remember Huangshi Group is one of the three major fast food giants in China. Cooperating with them will definitely make you a lot of money!"
The little cute girl looked at Xu Yi with admiration, her eyes shining.
Xu Yi smiled without saying a word, but everyone else's lips twitched upon hearing this.
This silly girl looks pretty, but she seems a bit slow.
If riding the coattails of a trending topic can be called a collaboration, then they can barely be considered a collaboration.
Of course, don't even think about making money off others; you'll be lucky if you don't end up in legal trouble.
"Little sister, what's your opinion?"
Xu Yi asked with a smile.
"Bro, you're Big Streamer. What kind of information can you possibly get from asking here? If you ask me, you should just get the Livestream Viewers in your Livestream Room involved."
Huang Lu didn't have any ideas, but she was fearless and somewhat abstract.
An abstract thinker may not necessarily achieve anything, but if they're going to give bad advice, they can come up with a whole basketful of it.
Upon hearing this, Xu Yi's eyes lit up.
"Little sister is right. When it comes to prostitution, we're definitely no match for Huangshi Group, but when it comes to abstract concepts, even if Huangshi Group is a hundred times more powerful, they're still no match for us!"
"Going into abstract terms? Aren't we supposed to be interrogating unscrupulous merchants? Shouldn't we be more serious?"
"Stop joking, who wants to watch something serious? Only by doing abstract things can you make a living from online traffic!"
Xu Yi clapped his hands, setting the tone, and then opened his phone to browse the comments section for inspiration.
However, as soon as he turned on his phone, he suddenly paused.
No, where's my video?
Where did my popular videos from the charts go?
Could it be blocked?
After searching, the group finally found Xu Yi's video.
The good news is that it wasn't blocked.
The bad news is that the data was compressed.
"There's something inside! There's something inside!"
Boss Xu screamed, gritting his teeth in anger.
"I remember clearly that it had at least two million views this morning, and now, several hours later, it's still at the top of the charts, so it should have at least five million views. How come it's less than one hundred thousand now?"
"Not only are the playbacks being suppressed, but likes and comments are also being disabled!"
"Why was my follow unfollowed? I couldn't have unfollowed my brother! Wait, why can't I follow him again?"
Exclamations echoed in the office as everyone suddenly realized what was happening.
There's definitely something fishy going on!
They suppress playback, block access to trending topics, and even sabotage the process by preventing followers.
This is clearly someone stirring up trouble.
"Brother, this must be Huangshi Group's doing. I'm calling home to get your back!"
Huang Lu said, her face turning bright red with anger.
They dare to bully people right up to her; the Huangshi Group really doesn't want to survive!
"Little sister, what's the rush?"
"First they tried to whitewash it, then they blocked the video; they really went to great lengths."
Xu Yi withdrew his gaze, looked at the indignant crowd in the room, and smiled faintly.
"Everyone, it's just a video, we can just film another one."
Ah?
Still filming?
Didn't it still get banned?
When someone raised a question, Xu Yi didn't answer, but instead sent a message to Han Tao.
"Brother, do you have a moment? Can you do me a favor?"
10 PM.
In the monitoring room of Huangshi Group, two employees responsible for monitoring the company's public opinion were slacking off at work while discussing takeout orders with some unease.
"We've been choosing for an hour already, what are you going to eat? Just say something already, why are you still so indecisive about what to eat?"
"What's the rush? There's plenty of Huangmen Chicken in the Kitchen. If you can't take it, go eat that stuff."
"Holy crap, you want me to eat that Huangmen Chicken? Are you trying to poison me? I'd rather starve than eat that stuff!"
The two were discussing listlessly when the system suddenly sounded an alarm.
The two hurriedly checked and discovered that Xu Yi's video had reappeared on the leaderboard.
"I only filed two complaints during the day, how come more are popping up at night? Let me see what they say?"
"Actively inviting everyone to report clues, the program crew will broadcast live from the kitchen, giving a soul-searching interview to the unscrupulous and unethical business Boss?"
"Holy crap, this kid even posts videos? Is he really going to go head-to-head with the Huang Group?"
In the video, Xu Yi is sitting at a conference table, holding a speech, with Huang Lu and other little cute girl behind him.
"The third episode of 'Actors Please Take Your Place' is currently in preparation. However, this episode's Actor aren't popular celebrities, but rather the unscrupulous merchants involved in the Huangmen Chicken Incident. I will use the camera to question their conscience!"
"Brothers, I welcome your reports and evidence submissions. Whether you're a customer, a conscientious businessperson, or a victim who has experienced food safety issues, as long as you dare to provide clues, I dare to expose these unscrupulous merchants!"
"And to those trolls who are whitewashing me in the comments section, have you ever asked your Boss if you'll be paid for your whitewashing efforts, given how frequently you've been doing it?"
"Furthermore, Huangshi Group, can you give me one video to buy Douyin shadowban? Can you give me a hundred or a thousand videos to buy Douyin shadowban? Starting today, I will promote and collaborate with any exposé videos related to Huangshi Group for free. Huangshi Group is welcome to continue investing in Douyin shadowban!"
It's a simple video, without any gimmicks or special effects, yet it has generated an incredibly high level of popularity.
