Chen Guang chuckled all the way until he sent Lu Fei home. Then, he went online and returned to his neighborhood.
There was a small interlude. In the past, when he used to book taxis online, there were two competing companies. One of them was an online company that Shen Yuliang had a stake in, which was also the company Chen Guang had registered as a driver. The other company was from America.
Recently, it seemed that the two companies had merged. Shen Yuliang and his online company had eaten up their competitors, so the taxi fare had skyrocketed. It was at least 50% more expensive than before. Fortunately, Old Master Guang said that he was already a tycoon and did not care about this bit of money. If it had been the old him, he would have simply run back himself.
Along the way, he played with his phone and looked at the movements on the Internet. Although he knew that the mess he had caused with Zhuo Wei should be completely settled by tomorrow morning, he was still furious.
Everyone pushed a wall when it was down, and a kind person was bullied by others.
There were few who spoke up for justice, but there were many who hit him when he was down.
In just a day or two, all sorts of people had popped up on the Internet!
From the afternoon until now, the first people to make things difficult for Chen Guang were many big shots in the domestic economics world.
These experts used the current bubble of the internet celebrity economy as an entry point. They analyzed the possible drawbacks of the sudden popularity of the internet celebrity economy in a seemingly simple way, commenting on the negative effects that could be caused by society's ideology and whatnot. They spoke as if they were very sophisticated and reasonable.
However, they all pointed out Chen Guang's name without exception, secretly accusing Chen Guang of being an uneducated, immoral, and corrupt person.
It was the tragedy of society for a person like Chen Guang to become an economic phenomenon by relying on the impetuous internet celebrity economy to open a company to earn money.
These experts said that if a person like Chen Guang became a rich person, it would go against the basic ethics of society.
The big shots in economics all said that the biggest bubble of the internet celebrity economy was that people became famous too suddenly. These internet celebrities only took one aspect of their personal characteristics to the extreme, but in fact, their own moral qualities were completely below the standard.
For such people to become successful through one-sided and despicable hype and cheating was a great injustice to those ordinary people who worked in their respective positions in obscurity.
Although these big shots in economics did not have many fans on Weibo, they were quite famous in the industry. Naturally, some people would regard their words and attitudes as the truth.
Perhaps it was out of friendship, or perhaps it was because some well-known entrepreneurs really did not like Chen Guang, but they shared all sorts of comments.
Perhaps it was out of friendship, or perhaps it was because they really did not like Chen Guang, they shared all sorts of comments.
Ordinary netizens wouldn't doubt the doubtful points in the professors' words. They couldn't be bothered if Chen Guang was the kind of person that was exposed on the internet. They were just filled with hatred for the rich from the comments of the professors.
They would wonder how a rotten person like him could become famous, popular, and receive a huge investment of 130 million yuan from the Tang Jie Fund while lying on the ground.
The wave of boycotting Chen Guang was once again lifted to a new height!
However, this was not the end. The second wave came from the entertainment industry. Zhang Tianming, Li Longwei, and others in the entertainment industry who did not like Chen Guang spoke up for Jin Shiyue and accused Chen Guang of being indecisive.
A person who became famous and successful for no reason would always arouse the jealousy of others. However, in the past, Chen Guang was powerful and had a stable relationship with Jin Shiyue. Some people who did not like Chen Guang dared not speak up, or perhaps they felt that it was better to avoid trouble.
However, now that things had come to this, people from all walks of life in the country were discussing this matter. It was as if they would be out of the mainstream circle if they did not make a statement on this matter.
It was time to stand up and speak up, to uphold justice for this dark and despicable world.
The people in the entertainment industry spoke up, and the limelight was even fiercer than the experts in the economics field. After all, these artists had millions of fans, and some even had tens of millions.
Their fans did not even think that Zhang Tianming was actually unhappy with Chen Guang, just because he was the male lead in "Tears for a Country" and had stolen the limelight for Chen Guang.
Li Longwei's reason was even simpler. The woman he liked was snatched away.
However, the fans of these artists did not care about this, and they did not think about this. They only knew how to crazily wave flags and cheer behind their idols, supporting their idols.
Seeing that the matter was getting more and more serious, Jin Shiyue and Jiang Yage could not help but take the initiative to post blog posts, expressing their complete trust in Chen Guang, and stating that this matter was caused by Eight Weekly.
In the articles published by the two, they listed several cases of Eight Weekly using or fabricating scandals about artists to blackmail and extort as evidence.
The two's blog posts were issued by the studio with a red stamp, and they solemnly stated that they would pursue the legal responsibility of those who spread rumors and slander in this matter.
However, it was useless, and still useless.
Once the anger of the crowd was ignited, unless it was like what Chen Guang was going to do tomorrow, directly using a big bomb to turn the world upside down, it was meaningless to just pour some water on it.
Even Jin Shiyue and Jiang Yage's own Weibo were followed by a wave of scolding. The artists in the industry who had a good relationship with the two girls, or who reposted or posted to support them, were also swept away by the haters like a wave.
Even Jin Shiyue and Jiang Yage couldn't save the situation, let alone the support of other professional darts, underground racing, and Dota professional circle players. Their words carried little weight and were useless.
The entire online world seemed to have fallen into a fanatical carnival, as if they would be out of touch with the times if they did not say a few words on their own Weibo.
The Weibo hashtag # Chen Guang cheated, in just a day or two, had directly rushed to the terrifying figure of 4.46 billion. This meant that almost everyone in the country knew about this matter.
In the past two days, Chen Guang did not update much on Weibo, but the number of his Weibo fans did not decrease, and instead kept increasing crazily. Until now, compared to before the matter was exposed, it had increased by at least six million, reaching a terrifying figure of close to 20 million. They were all living people!
However, the comments below Weibo gradually became more and more unsightly. Behind the silence is golden was the public's voice, and the people who scolded him had completely gained the upper hand.
Chen Guang faced the possibility of the public's image completely collapsing, and deleting posts and controlling the public's opinion could no longer change the situation. However, if he wanted to fight a lawsuit with Eight Weekly, the matter would drag on for at least half a year. By then, the direction of the public's opinion would be set, and even if the matter passed, it would still form such an impression in many people's hearts.
The anger of the entire online world seemed to be vented on him alone. Fortunately, Chen Guang himself had a big heart, and he knew that the case would be overturned tomorrow morning. Otherwise, he would definitely be angered to death.
You bunch of scum, fortunately, the Old Man has a killer weapon, or else I would really be scolding you for the rest of my life.
I'm not bragging, but all of you owe me an apology.
Forget it, it's a bit too difficult to make people apologize. One dollar in exchange for an apology. This way, I can earn at least seven or eight hundred million, right?
Damn, that's a lot of money, but it's a pity I can't get it.
Alright, he admitted that he was really a little distressed.
On the other hand, after Liu Chao had arranged everything, he finally took the initiative to call Zhuo Wei.
Liu Chao adjusted his mood and said in a joking tone, "Zhuo Wei, you've caused quite a stir on the Internet these few days, haven't you?"
Zhuo Wei had no idea that half of his head was hanging on a steel wire, and he was still laughing proudly, "Boss, you finally know? This time, I really have my eyes on a big fish. "
Liu Chao grunted, "It's quite big."
Liu Chao really wanted to scold him. A big fish is good, but you have to consider whether you can eat it or not, right?
This fish is a shark, and it eats people, do you know?
On the other side, Zhuo Wei still did not get the hint from Liu Chao's words, and he was still full of enthusiasm. "Boss, this Chen Guang is really a fat fish, and I have something on him, and he has no foundation. I didn't embarrass you in these eight weeks, did I?"
"There's nothing embarrassing about it. I asked you to do eight weeks, but I hope that you will do your job well. Just watch Liu Shi Culture for me, and don't meddle too much with other things."
Liu Chao still hinted at Zhuo Wei in the end.
But Zhuo Wei still did not understand his painstaking efforts, and he was still in a frenzy. He said indifferently, "Boss, that's not the case. Who does Chen Guang think he is? How can he monopolize all the money in the world? Everyone who sees it should have a share. I've already invested a lot, but as long as this matter is settled with him, we can easily get 30 million! "
You're really digging your own grave, Zhuo Wei!
Liu Chao couldn't help sneering. What Chen Guang said to him wasn't just ¥30,000,000, but ¥40,000,000 tonight and ¥50,000,000 tomorrow morning. Aren't you a little too bold?
At this time, you even dare to lie to me?
Also, that Chen Guang that you said has no foundation has already put a knife to my neck today, okay?
If it was so easy to earn money, why would I have to sell eight weeks to him for one dollar?
Do you even know how stupid you are?
Forget it, you definitely don't know.
"Tell me the details of the matter, then. If anything happens, I can be prepared. As far as I know, this Chen Guang has some background," Liu Chao said hypocritically.
Zhuo Wei then told Liu Chao everything that had happened.
Liu Chao clearly knew everything, but he pretended to listen with great interest.
Zhuo Wei was full of fighting spirit as he complained about how arrogant Chen Guang was, how he would beat people up whenever there was a disagreement, and how he would send people to the hospital after beating them up.
Zhuo Wei's trusted assistant had been sitting next to him since the beginning. He glanced at the China's number one paparazzi, who had single-handedly created the Eight Weekly Dynasties, beaming with joy and did not say much. He held his chin and turned to look at the brightly lit Five Capital City through the floor-to-ceiling glass. He looked like he was daydreaming.
But in his heart, he was thinking that his new boss, Chen Guang, had a temper that was more violent than Zhuo Wei's, and he also abhorred evil. Now that they've gotten into such an unpleasant situation, the entire company would probably be dissolved.
Although he had become a spy today and might be considered a meritorious official in the future, everyone's philosophy was different, and he couldn't stay in this place any longer.
The deputy looked at Zhuo Wei again, feeling a little dissatisfied. If it weren't for the fact that you, the leader, were blinded by your greed, racking your brains to earn money that you shouldn't have, we wouldn't have ended up like this.
Sigh, ever since I came to the eight weekly, I have lost myself.
I used to be a naive young man, and I wanted to be an upright reporter with such a pure heart. I wanted to write down everything I saw, take pictures, and put them in front of the public, so that the public could use their independent thinking to look at these things and phenomena.
But when I really became a media person, especially after coming to the eight weekly, I was influenced by Zhuo Wei.
Initially, I felt that the celebrities who looked glamorous on the surface were disgusting, and I wanted to use real footage to expose the ugliness of these people to the public.
Then, I gradually started to add oil and vinegar to the articles I published, adding in subjective concepts, just to confuse the public, attract attention, and stir up controversy.
In the end, I became a despicable person who made up news in order to gain popularity or create popularity.
He took a deep breath. His nostrils were filled with a strange rotting stench at night in the office of Octopus Weekly.
He didn't know if it was just his imagination.
Maybe this place really stinks, or maybe the stench is coming from me.
Who knows?
Forget it.
Tomorrow, it's time to leave here and try to be myself again.
Liu Chao finally said, "It's good to have something on Chen Guang. Have a good chat with him tomorrow, but there's no need to make our relationship too rigid. You must hide the video well and remove it from the Internet as soon as possible. The things on the Internet are not necessarily reliable. Also, don't put it everywhere in the company. Be careful that the people below copy it, and the consequences will be unimaginable. "
Zhuo Wei nodded repeatedly and flattered, "Boss, you're so thoughtful. I'll just get a small USB drive and put it in my pocket. I won't put anything else!"
When Chen Guang got home, it was already past midnight. The area downstairs was a mess. There were scattered pieces of paper everywhere, and there was also a large photo that had been burned until only a third of it remained. The photo was clearly of Chen Guang's chin.
The angry crowd finally found their way here, as if protesting downstairs and venting their anger would be able to express their justice in their hearts.
Chen Guang couldn't be bothered to ridicule these people who had completely lost their judgment because of public opinion.
Not only did he not hate them, but he also felt that they were very pitiful.
When he walked out of the elevator, he heard a crackling sound coming from the room. His heart immediately tightened. Did someone break into his house?
Then wouldn't I beat you to death?
Clenching his fists, he opened the door. Before Chen Guang could open his mouth to speak, he was shocked by the doomsday-like scene in the room.
