Manually Guided! Keyboard Warriors Are All Pawns!

Guo Huai quickly spent 2000 Dou+ and then waited for the video to ferment.

Within a few minutes, he noticed the backend notifications for likes and comments appearing frantically. Moreover, the speed at which likes increased was unexpectedly high, and his follower count also grew significantly with the likes.

"This effect seems surprisingly good," Guo Huai's face showed excitement.

This looked like a sure way to hit the trending page for 2000 yuan.

Lin Chunlan was also keeping an eye on the video. Seeing the likes increasing, she couldn't help but show a smug expression.

The other party had embarrassed her in front of so many people; now she would make sure their villa couldn't operate.

Once their reputation was ruined, who would visit?

Meanwhile.

Qin Lin watched as the 10,000 Dou+ he had invested helped the video trend, a smug look also appearing on his face.

The more popular it became, the better.

He still had one more thing to do: ensure that after this incident fermented and went viral, no unexpected twists would occur.

However, as the video began to gain traction, he received three calls: from the villa's Gao Yaoyao, Master Lin, and Chen Dabe.

Just as he finished calming down Gao Yaoyao and the other two, Qin Ren's call came in.

He was just about to look for Qin Ren, so he immediately answered.

"Linzi, why is your villa on Douyin? What happened?" Qin Ren's voice was filled with concern. Being in You City, he naturally knew whose self-media account that was.

That person was among the first batch of people in You City to create self-media accounts. Their account had been active for three years and was quite famous in You City.

Their studio also had a self-media account, but it didn't have many followers, only their old customers and acquaintances.

Qin Lin smiled and explained, "I ran into someone unreasonable. By the way, Daren, you're in advertising and planning, can you find some internet trolls?"

Qin Ren replied, "Yes, you need internet trolls to explain this matter?"

Qin Lin smiled and said, "No, I want internet trolls to attack me, especially the stooge in the video. The nastier the insults, the better."

"Okay, I'll handle it for you." Qin Ren didn't refuse, but after hanging up, he looked at Chen Shengfei in the video with some confusion. Linzi asking for internet trolls to smear himself, and specifically targeting this person, must have a reason.

"Hu Fei, can you check who this person is?" Qin Ren asked a partner next to him. That person had studied computer technology, so it wouldn't be difficult to find some information online.

Hu Fei glanced at the video and nodded.

He had also seen the video and knew Qin Ren definitely wanted to help his brother. If they could help, they wouldn't refuse, especially since their company's media account had gained some followers after shooting the promotional video for them. That promotional video could even become their signature.

After Hu Fei operated on the computer for a while, he suddenly cursed, "Holy shit..."

"What's wrong?" Qin Ren asked.

"See for yourself. This kind of person is a stooge? What was Guo Huai thinking?" Hu Fei pointed at Chen Shengfei's photo on the computer. "The Chairman of Blue Sea Group, for fuck's sake, how could he be a stooge? Is this Guo Huai brainless? With one word from that person, his three-year-old account could be ruined."

At this, Qin Ren understood why Qin Lin wanted internet trolls to smear himself and specifically target Chen Shengfei. He immediately said to Guo Zhen, "Contact the internet trolls, help smear Qin Lin, especially smear this Chen Shengfei. Oh, and also tag their group's official account."

Hu Fei stared at Qin Ren in astonishment. "Holy shit, you're trying to destroy Guo Huai! But I like it. I've been fed up with this guy for a long time, always hitting on women and showing off. Oh, and we can also ride this wave of popularity and advertise our studio!"

Qin Ren nodded. "After this video ferments overnight, we'll release a video tomorrow revealing Chen Shengfei's true identity, support Linzi, and also get some exposure."

A moment later, the internet trolls were found and flooded Guo Huai's video comment section, which further fueled the video's trend.

The insults grew more numerous, and under the trolls' guidance, most of the abuse began to target Chen Shengfei in the video.

"Holy shit, did this guy's son die, or what? He's a stooge for these people who engage in forced buying and selling."

"I think he's not making enough money, and his wife is cheating on him. He'll take any money."

"What a show-off. He claims to cover everything, but everyone knows he's a stooge!"

"Was his wife selling herself while he was being a stooge?"

"..."

It seemed everyone was freely exercising their sense of justice, posting what they considered righteous and vicious comments directed at Chen Shengfei in the video.

These people had no idea they had become pawns being manipulated.

Time passed.

The next day quickly arrived.

In a luxurious villa in the city, Chen Shengfei stretched lazily, feeling refreshed. His wife, Tang Wan, was already getting dressed. Seeing him up, she said with a rosy complexion, "Honey, did you eat something last night? You were even more energetic than usual!"

"Really?" Chen Shengfei smiled and hugged his wife. Although she was over 30, she was well-maintained thanks to her wealth and was at her most charming and alluring.

He also noticed that he felt completely refreshed this morning, unlike the usual post-coital exhaustion he felt after his wife had "drained" him.

"Hmph!" Tang Wan playfully scoffed, her voice filled with satisfaction. "Didn't you know yourself last night?"

This reminded him of something. Okra seemed to have that kind of effect, didn't it?

Thinking of this, Chen Shengfei said to his wife, "Can you ask the nanny to prepare some of the okra I brought back?"

He guessed that the okra wasn't simple. Last night, he was too focused on eating the fish to pay attention to the okra.

Tang Wan had been very satisfied last night, so she naturally agreed to Chen Shengfei's small request early in the morning and even went to prepare the okra for him herself.

Chen Shengfei went downstairs and ate the okra he had brought back. Soon, he showed a surprised expression. That warm sensation in his waist reappeared.

So, it's related to that Okra?

This is great stuff!

400 yuan a pound is completely worth it.

Even if it were 1000 yuan a pound, he wouldn't care. What's more important than seeing his wife satisfied?

Chen Shengfei went to the group company in a good mood. But as soon as he entered his office, his secretary rushed forward to report: "Chairman, someone on Douyin is bad-mouthing you!"

"???" Chen Shengfei frowned. Which competitor was playing dirty tricks now?

But when he took the video and watched it, he was stunned. It was what happened at Boss Qin's villa.

He had dismissed the other person as a shill yesterday and didn't bother with such a small fry.

But that didn't mean they could run rampant in front of him, especially after seeing the comments section, and even his wife was insulted. Could he stand for this?

"Have the company's legal team send a lawyer's letter to Douyin!" Chen Shengfei calmly instructed, then dismissed it. This was nothing compared to the company's major affairs.

"Yes!" The secretary respectfully withdrew and headed to the company's legal department.

You City.

Guo Huai woke up early and grabbed his phone to log into Douyin. He checked his video and found that the likes had already surpassed 300,000 and were still increasing.

This made him extremely excited.

He had completely gone viral. His fans had also increased significantly, nearing 300,000. If this trend continued and he made some further moves, breaking 500,000 fans was possible.

Guo Huai knew very well what the prerequisite for a self-media account to gain followers quickly was: creating a viral video. Only then could it have a chance to enter the official traffic pool.

As expected, social issues like this attracted the most attention.

Guo Huai smugly scrolled through some videos and found that other bloggers had already started jumping on the bandwagon. This was a good thing, indicating it had entered the traffic pool. The more fans he gained, the better.

Suddenly, he stumbled upon a video from a studio. The uploader was someone he knew – Hu Fei from You City?

He had met the guy before at a gathering of You City self-media creators. That guy's studio also had a self-media advertising account, but it was nothing special. He had tried to brag in front of a girl and was shut down by Guo Huai.

"This guy is also trying to ride the wave!" Guo Huai sneered. But as the video played, his expression changed instantly.
