Powerful backing

The two people in the room looked at each other, staring at the video that had been posted for less than an hour.

"Wow, in less than an hour, it's already got over 20,000 likes and comments?"

"This data is rising way too fast! How much resentment is building up in the public's hearts? If this continues, it won't just affect our reputation, it might even impact the company's stock price! Report it immediately!"

After taking notes, one of them thought for a moment and added an extra sentence to the annotation.

Just enjoy the spectacle; don't take it too seriously.

"What, you think he's just riding the wave of popularity and won't actually mess with us? His videos are quite popular, we can't underestimate him, can we?"

"No matter how popular he is, he's just a minor internet celebrity. What kind of trouble can a few videos cause? Besides, he's making a TV show. If he offends us, does he even want sponsorship anymore?"

"So this is just a video they made to blackmail us, telling us to send them money as soon as possible?"

The man paused slightly as he spoke, then suddenly gave a bitter smile.

"I saw in the comments that this guy, although a prankster blogger, isn't a bad person. I thought he was a real champion for the people, but it turns out he's just a money-grubbing bastard?"

"Speak up for the people? Give me a break, who doesn't love money these days?"

The other person sneered, inwardly mocking.

Having worked together for so many years and seen so much filth and corruption, he assumed the other person was like him, long since disillusioned with humanity. He never expected such a naive side to them.

The man didn't speak, he just kept scrolling through the comments section, the screen constantly moving, when suddenly it froze on one comment, as if he had seen a ghost.

"Look at this! He responded to his fans in the comments section; he actually wants to go against us!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could he do that? Who does he think he is?"

The man scoffed, unconcerned, and glanced at it dismissively.

After one glance, he suddenly froze, his wide eyes, incredulous expression, and increasingly rapid breathing all proving one thing: he really had seen a ghost?

Anyone who didn't know better would think he was having an epileptic seizure. Was it really necessary to be so shocked?

However, his companions didn't find it exaggerated; on the contrary, they fully understood his behavior at that moment.

His outburst of emotion was due to a single comment in the comments section.

In the comments section of the video soliciting clues, there was a question from a fan that had just been pinned to the top.

Xu Yi, are you trying to ride the wave of popularity or just joking around?

Xu Yi answered.

"It's about riding the wave of popularity, and it's also about creating some hype. What can I do? I'm a streamer, after all. If I don't create some hype, I'll be letting my fans down. But who says that just because you're creating hype and riding the wave of popularity, you can't do something productive?"

"These past few days everyone's been talking about the problems with Huangmen Chicken, but who knew that the problem actually involved the Huangmen Chicken chain under the Huangshi Group? Who knew that this traditional dish, Huangmen Chicken, has been bought out by a foreign company? It's absurd that ordinary people like us have to pay foreign companies to eat Huangmen Chicken at restaurants!"

"Now, it's our own people who are being criticized, while those who actually make money and are irresponsible are lying in the back counting their profits and enjoying themselves, without any punishment. Is this normal?"

"Because everyone is so supportive, I've gained some influence. So I thought about it seriously all night and decided to do something practical for everyone. Since others don't dare to expose this shady dealings, then I, the streamer, will be the first to do so!"

This concludes the commentary.

The two people inside the room remained stunned and speechless for a long time.

At this moment, when they watched Xu Yi's video again, they suddenly had a different feeling.

At the Hotel.

The little cute girl looked at Xu Yi with trepidation, feeling as if the sky had fallen.

I've been tricked! I've been tricked again!

This isn't cooperation; it's clearly trying to destroy the other party!

A small program going up against a large corporation—isn't that a recipe for disaster?

Waaaaah, is it too late to quit now?

"Xu Yi, are you really going to go against Huangshi Group?"

The little cute girl asked, her heart pounding with fear.

Just how bold does a streamer who creates viral content have to go against capital?

What is the size of Huangshi Group?

With thousands of stores nationwide, this massive food group may appear to be just running a fast-food brand, but in reality, it's already a giant!

Let alone the entire group, even a regional agent could crush Xu Yi with just a mention of it.

In fact, it's not just the little cute girl; even now, many people in the team still feel uneasy.

On the contrary, Boss Xu, who was crying and making a scene at the beginning, is now supporting Xu Yi.

"I think this is worth pursuing. It's generating so much buzz, and it's already become a social issue. No matter how powerful Huangshi Group is, they can only shut down one account. Can they really silence the entire public?"

Huang Lu watched Xu Yi from the side, her eyes shining like a little fangirl, and she didn't forget to comfort the little cute girl.

"Best Friend, don't worry about it. There's nothing my brother can't do if he sets his mind to it. What's a mere Huangshi Group compared to that? He has the means, so why can't we?"

At this point, Huang Lu suddenly gave a cold laugh.

"Business is business; it's just a matter of attitude. If they really dare to break the rules, then it becomes a matter of cracking down on organized crime..."

The little cute girl blinked her big eyes wide, feeling scared.

How is this related to the crackdown on organized crime?

Could it be that this seemingly unreliable Brother Xu has an even more powerful background than the Huangshi Group?

Before the little cute girl could say anything more, Xu Yi suddenly raised his hand.

"You don't need to say anything more. Instead of wasting time questioning, why don't you look at the comments section?"

Comments section?

Didn't we just respond to the criticism? We've already received feedback?

Or... has the video been blocked again?

Everyone hurriedly opened the video, only to be immediately startled.

Holy crap, how come the view and comment data has doubled again in just a few minutes?

Just how many people has Huangshi Group offended?

Since the "March 15" Huangmen Chicken Incident, this dish has practically become rotten.

In the past, when talking about lunch and dinner, many people's first choice was Huangmen Chicken, which has meat, vegetables, and staple food, making it a nutritious and balanced meal.

But now, even just passing by the roadside makes me feel nauseous and want to vomit.

Despite many businesses claiming their products are problem-free, even going so far as to showcase their open kitchens, personally taste the food, and host live streams to prove it, the problems that have been exposed are far more numerous.

Once doubts arise, they form a chain of suspicion that is impossible to eliminate in a short period of time.

In addition, Huangshi Group's domineering behavior means that anyone who posts a video complaining will be immediately silenced or even have a lawyer's letter sent, which has long been a source of resentment.

Just then, Xu Yi publicly stood up to crack down on unscrupulous merchants, and everyone immediately used him as an outlet for their frustrations.

Even before the show aired, just an announcement video had already made Xu Yi a hot topic.

Even so, many people are pessimistic about Xu Yi's actions.

In their view, Xu Yi was just making a couple of videos to generate some buzz, and it was no match for Huangshi Group's retaliation.

To put it bluntly, Xu Yi isn't some big entrepreneur; he's just a small-time livestreamer doing some abstract content.

After two days of hype, once Huangshi Group realizes what's happening, not only will the entire program team be banned, but even the small-time streamer will be completely wiped out and disappear from the public eye.

However, at this moment, an unexpected helper appeared in the comment section of Xu Yi's video.
