After a stifling stretch of blame and accusations, the footage soon skipped ahead again, switching to the moment Lin Feng officially activated the Handwriting Robot.
Seeing this, everyone watching the video smiled faintly, knowing that enormous changes were about to come for Lin Feng's family.
Soon, the following scenes were the exhilarating kind where emotions rose—his patent application, the successful opening of the small factory.
The release of the video advertisement, the first day's thirty-plus orders, the launch of the second-generation Handwriting Robot...
Finally, the footage switched to scenes of students, young people, middle-aged people, and countless others smiling as they used the Handwriting Robot.
At that point, the entire video came to an end.
Watching this documentary, with its twists and turns, highs and lows, beginning in calmness, descending into oppression midway through, and ending in the excitement of success...
Every viewer who finished it felt somewhat wistful, as though they had just watched a wonderful movie and wanted to keep watching to find out what happened next.
Yet the story had ended at a fitting point. There did not seem to be anything particularly exciting left to watch, and stopping here was the best choice.
That was why this sense of wistfulness naturally arose in people's hearts, leaving them strangely reluctant to let go.
All that could be said was that Chen Hang had truly not wasted Lin Feng's 40,000 yuan. This effect alone was worth the money—perhaps even more than it.
After watching the video, netizens no longer saw Lin Feng as the over-the-top comedic figure from Bilibili, nor as the patent thief cursed by online users.
Through this documentary, Lin Feng's image in people's eyes became that of a research and development genius who had graduated from Qinghua University, someone slightly obsessive and withdrawn by nature.
Soon, with the release of the documentary, related discussions rapidly appeared in the comment sections of Bilibili videos. Netizens' attitudes whenever they discussed Lin Feng had taken a complete 180-degree turn.
Under such circumstances, the documentary's views also rose in a straight line, surpassing one million in just one day. Nearly everyone who finished it gave it glowing reviews.
If this had been a Bilibili anime series, the documentary would have received a rating as high as 9.8. Unfortunately, it was not an anime series.
"Damn Xingtu Technology!"
Somewhere in Shencheng, where neon lights flickered and swept back and forth, Su Da drank heavily after finishing the documentary.
Watching it, he understood that he had lost completely!
The resentment that had sustained him all this time suddenly crumbled, leaving him utterly dejected...
Time flew by, and three days passed just like that.
On this day, I Love Invention, a program with tens of millions of viewers nationwide, finally aired its episode on the Handwriting Robot.
That evening, Xiaohe Town seemed much quieter than usual. There were hardly any customers at the late-night food stalls because many people were at home watching television.
After all, news that Xiaohe Town's genius, Lin Feng, would appear on I Love Invention had already spread throughout the entire town.
How could the residents of Xiaohe Town possibly go out shopping in the face of such a glorious moment?
At last, after the familiar opening sequence, the host introduced the Handwriting Robot, and the episode began.
This Handwriting Robot episode differed from the videos previously released on Bilibili and Youku. Those earlier videos focused on the process of Lin Feng and his family overcoming hardships, while the Handwriting Robot was merely a supporting element.
But now, the perspective was completely reversed. Lin Feng and his family, including Lin Feng himself, had become supporting characters, while the Handwriting Robot had become the protagonist.
Yet the people of Xiaohe Town were not bored in the slightest. Instead, they watched with great interest.
The same story, viewed from different angles, was equally engrossing either way. CCTV truly lived up to its reputation and had never disappointed anyone.
Just like that, the fifty-plus-minute program ended, and the tens of millions of people across the country watching I Love Invention learned about a new invention.
Among those millions of viewers, well-off students, teachers, and office clerks in government institutions all had their eyes light up after watching it, because they realized that the Handwriting Robot seemed perfectly suited to their needs.
Students could use it to copy homework and do homework. Teachers could use it to prepare handwritten lesson plans and grade assignments. Government office clerks could use it to write meeting minutes, prepare archival documents, and more.
With that sudden realization, Lin Feng's family was astonished to discover that orders for the Handwriting Robot had surged rapidly, far beyond anything they had imagined.
Although they had already anticipated that many people might buy their Handwriting Robot after watching the television program, and the factory had prepared a large stock in advance.
Who could have expected sales to come in so fiercely?
The sales directly overwhelmed Xingtu Technology, which now even faced the problem of how to ship products quickly enough without making users wait too long.
As for how many orders there were?
The order volume had reached 60,000 units. It could be said that the number of products Lin Feng had taken years to sell in his previous life had now been sold in a single day!
CCTV truly lived up to its reputation. The advertising effect was unbelievably powerful!
However, with 60,000 orders arriving all at once, Xingtu Technology's production capacity certainly could not handle them. They could only choose to outsource manufacturing.
Thus, Lin Feng's family once again fell into distress, unsure which factory they should hire to quickly manufacture the 60,000 units.
After all, the manufacturer needed to be able to produce everything and ship it automatically within a week, while also being willing to accept a short-term order from them.
After going in circles, Lin Feng's family seemed to have fallen into the sweet burden of happiness.
But unfortunately, the world was often a mixture of good and bad. The more achievements you gained, the more pressure and burdens you had to be prepared to bear.
As Lin Feng's story spread across Bilibili and Youku, especially after he appeared on CCTV's I Love Invention, many of his former classmates became deeply unbalanced.
They had clearly all been students in the same class, with abilities that were not all that different, yet while they were working for others, Lin Feng had become a boss.
When they were smug over salaries nearing 10,000 yuan, believing they had surpassed the vast majority of people in the country, Lin Feng was already earning hundreds of thousands a month.
Of course, if you earned more, then so be it. Everyone might feel unhappy, but there was nothing they could really say.
But becoming famous throughout the country just by relying on a trashy Handwriting Robot made many classmates feel deeply unbalanced.
Thus, driven by dissatisfaction and jealousy, one of Lin Feng's classmates, Li Jun, finally could not hold back any longer and made his move.
It was the following afternoon, while articles about Lin Feng and his Handwriting Robot were appearing across multiple major portal websites.
Li Jun directly called one of his relatives, then sent him a batch of organized electronic documents.
His relative was famously upright and incorruptible, unable to tolerate even the slightest wrongdoing. He should not turn a blind eye to this matter.
Today was Tuesday. The moment that would decide his fate had arrived. Whether he could get a recommendation and release a massive update on Friday depended on today.
