He was here
In the morning, after posting the video of the program starting filming,
Boss Xu reminded Xu Yi that it would be best to send a notification letter to Huangshi Group.
This is just going through the motions, a way of informing them in advance to avoid any future disputes with Huangshi Group.
Xu Yi thought it made sense, so he came to the old Huangshi Group in person.
"Brother, take a look at the internet! You're being criticized so badly you can't even lift your head!"
Back at the Hotel, Xu Yi was greeted by Huang Lu, who was using her keyboard with full power, in "Keyboard Immortal mode" mode, firing three shots per second – truly a woman who is just as capable as any man!
"Girl, isn't it normal to get scolded? The more you scold someone, the more famous they become. It's a sign of affection, isn't it?"
"But they also said you weren't good enough..."
"Screw it! Who says I can't handle it? Dare to take me to the highway and give me a run for my money? I'll drive my Bai Dun Wang and show him what I'm made of!"
Xu Yi broke down, snatched the phone, and hurriedly scrolled through the comments.
Holy crap, the video has only been up for less than half a day, and it already has over a million views, with comments and likes breaking all previous records.
No! Are all the netizens alright?
Didn't we all agree that we're all working like oxen on weekdays? Why are you all slacking off and watching videos?
Xu Yi even saw someone post more than a dozen insults at him, and none of them were the same!
You have no time to rest when it comes to your feelings, but you have time to scold him?
"Brother Xu, are you alright?"
Seeing Xu Yi staring intently at the screen, the little cute girl stood beside him, constantly worried.
Has Xu Yi lost his guard?
With so many people criticizing him, isn't he Depression?
Waaaaah, poor Xu Yi! He just wanted to do something good for everyone, so why was he targeted so badly?
"Of course it's nothing, just a couple of scoldings, it's nothing serious, what's the big deal?"
Xu Yi looked up, staring at the little cute girl with a surprised expression.
"Aren't you upset that so many people are criticizing you?"
The little cute girl was stunned, staring blankly at Xu Yi as if she were looking at an alien.
Why be upset?
Xu Yi's question mark deepened.
"... ah?"
The little cute girl was stumped by the question.
Why do I feel so bad?
Is this something a human being should ask?
That was a torrent of abuse! Wouldn't that cause internal strife and self-doubt?
So many young women have been driven to suicide by internal strife after being insulted by dozens of people, yet Xu Yi remains completely calm and collected.
Come on, come on, come on!
Xu Yi looked at the comments section and couldn't stop laughing.
He couldn't understand the little cute girl's self-destructive behavior, and he didn't have time to be sad; he was busy reaping the rewards of his emotions.
Being attacked by paid online trolls? Being suspected by passersby? Being egged on to create a persona for personal gain and make dirty money?
Keep yelling, keep yelling, don't stop!
"Ding! System notification: Points check error, you have reached your daily limit!"
The system voice sounded, Xu Yi immediately curled his lip.
"System, are you a sore loser? I got scolded for my own skill, how can you call it an anomaly?"
The system is unresponsive; it's just pretending to be dead.
Xu Yi gave the middle finger.
[Negative Emotions -1 -1 -1]
Damn! Why is the system deducting points?
Xu Yi stopped messing with the system and instead assigned tasks to his subordinates.
"How's the clue gathering going? If there are suitable leads, arrange for someone to film them. Also, keep an eye out for competitors in the videos; see if there are any reputable Huangmen Chicken suppliers among them."
Hearing the beginning, one could understand the rest, but hearing the end left one completely bewildered.
"Director Xu, what do you need suppliers for? Are you contacting them to discuss advertising business?"
"What's the point of talking about advertising? I'm just buying it out and running it myself. What, am I not fit to be a prostitute?"
Seeing Xu Yi's serious expression, the people below were completely stunned.
"Director Xu, we're making a TV show. Making chicken... ugh, Huangmen Chicken is a food industry thing, we know nothing about it. Besides, where would we get the money?"
Xu Yi waved his phone.
"If you don't understand, don't netizens understand? As for money, are you looking down on me or my sister?"
Huang Lu walked up at the opportune moment, without saying a word, only taking out cards and checks.
Money? What money? Isn't this just waste paper?
The assistant left without a word, completely devastated.
I've seen rich people, but I've never seen anyone this rich.
It's one thing to not need sponsors for a TV show, but to actually spend money on it is just ridiculous.
"Brother, are you really planning to enter the food industry?"
After her subordinates left, Huang Lu asked curiously.
"What else can we do? Just expose it? How effective can that be?"
Xu Yi said calmly, glancing at the trolls in the comments section, and smiled.
He went to Huangshi Group to deliver a notification letter. Logically, even if the senior management didn't come to meet him, a public relations representative or manager should have come to see him to discuss whether there was any misunderstanding.
And the result?
Upon hearing his purpose, the Security Guard stopped him without hesitation.
The other party didn't take this crisis seriously at all.
There's a saying that goes something like that.
When some people apologize, it's not because they've felt the pain, but because they know they're about to die!
It's unrealistic to expect traffic to change them.
He just happens to have money, he just happens to have a system, and he just happens to be able to harvest emotions along the way...
Huangshi Group, let's see who can beat whom!
With Huang Lu's financial support and word-of-mouth recommendations in the comments section, one conscientious shop owners or industry insiders after another were discovered. Although they chose to keep it a secret, some people still noticed the anomaly.
"Holy crap, someone claiming to be from the 'Actors Please Take Your Place 'Production Crew just emailed me, asking if I'd be interested in discussing a collaboration. I was about to think it was a scam when they directly transferred 100,000 yuan to me. That's incredibly generous!"
"Director Xu, I was wrong. I shouldn't have thought you were just trying to ride the wave of popularity. I'm also an industry professional, a conscientious and principled food person. I'm asking for donations and collaborations!"
"Uh, those people upstairs are exaggerating. This kid is just a streamer, he's just trying to ride the wave of popularity by making a show. How did they end up collaborating? Is he planning to enter the food industry and compete with Huangshi Group?"
As more information emerged, many people found that the situation seemed to be heading in an incomprehensible direction.
"The person upstairs is too clueless. It's one thing if you don't know how powerful Xu Chu is, but how come you don't even know how rich Director Xu?"
"I told you long ago that Huangshi Group had run into a brick wall, but you didn't believe me. Just watch, Director Xu is about to unleash his power!"
In the food factory in the Shanhe Old Industrial Zone, under the dim yellow light, Song Qinghuan stared intently at the comments section.
"Brother, this guy has also received a 100,000 yuan red envelope. How many is this already? Xu Yi isn't just trying to ride the wave; he's genuinely supporting us and cracking down on unscrupulous merchants. What are you waiting for?"
The younger sister said eagerly.
Crack! Crack! Crack! The ticking of the clock felt like a slap across the face.
Song Qinghuan was humiliated, but he wasn't upset at all.
It's true! Xu Yi is really going to go against the Huangshi Group!
We've already found over twenty conscientious peers in the comments section alone!
"Little sister, drive right now! We're going straight to the Production Crew to see Director Xu and ask for his cooperation!"
After finishing his sentence, Song Qinghuan turned and ran, nearly tripping in his excitement.
An opportunity! The opportunity I've waited so many years for has finally arrived!
Xu Yi has arrived, Qingtian has been served!
Xu Yi is here! The opportunity has arrived!
