At seven in the morning, Wang Pu woke up on time.
He washed up in a hurry and ran to work in the morning light. This was the most important way for Wang Pu to exercise his body. Unless it was raining or snowing, he would never stop.
He had breakfast in a breakfast shop not far from his office. It was still early. Wang Pu walked as usual and took out his phone from his pocket. He opened the app of Waves Books.
He couldn't wait to know how The Smiling, The Proud Wanderer was doing and whether it was pushed down from the top of the weekly recommendation list by other books.
Wang Pu scrolled through the rankings. Surprisingly, he didn't see any familiar titles on the weekly recommendation list.
Pushed out of the top ten so quickly?
The weekly recommendation list of Waves Books only showed the top ten. Wang Pu couldn't help feeling disappointed.
But soon he found something was wrong.
Because the data on the phone showed that the recommendation for the tenth place had less than 3000 votes!
How was that possible?
Wang Pu remembered very clearly that in the wee hours of the morning, "The Smiling, The Proud Wanderer" was at the top of the list with 3,780 votes. How could it not be in the top 10 now!
Wang Pu suddenly had a bad feeling.
He hurriedly clicked on more data on the weekly recommendation list, but the name of The Smiling, The Proud Wanderer was nowhere to be found.
Wang Pu quickly took out The Smiling, The Proud Wanderer from his bookshelf and opened it to check the data.
Weekly recommendation: 0!
0 votes!
Wang Pu felt like there were ten thousand alpacas galloping through his heart. His face turned red and his hair stood up.
Damn it … What the f * ck!
Although Wang Pu was young, he was definitely an experienced reader of online novels.
He knew the rules of the literature website. He knew that it was not the website's data that was wrong, but the votes were blocked because it was considered to have been manipulated. The votes were reset to zero, and all votes were invalid within the time limit!
If The Smiling, The Proud Wanderer was really manipulated, Wang Pu would accept it. Nowadays, the website was quite strict with this kind of cheating, and the punishment was not low. As a reader, he would support it.
However, these recommendation votes were cast by hundreds and thousands of readers. They were definitely not cheated. Last night, everyone had worked hard in front of the computer until 12 o 'clock to vote. Now, all their hard work had gone up in smoke.
How could Wang Pu be willing?
The group was probably in an uproar right now.
He couldn't help but speed up his pace and hurriedly came to his workplace. Before his boss came, he turned on the computer and logged in to his QQ.
As Wang Pu expected, several QQ groups were already full of complaints.
"Does anyone know why our recommendation votes have been cleared?"
"Holy sh * t, are you kidding me?"
"Hehe, books that haven't signed a contract won't be on the list. What else is there to say?"
"This is too unfair. I want to complain!"
"Forget it. The arm can't twist the thigh. What's the use of complaining? She doesn't even care about you. "
"Aiya, I'm so angry!"
Some people were confused, some were agitated, some were angry, and some were clamoring for justice. Even though the number of members online at this time was not bad, everyone was talking at once.
Wang Pu clenched his teeth, his fingers tapping on the keyboard with extra force. "For this matter, we have to seek an explanation from Waves Reading. Why did they remove our recommendation votes? We didn't fake our votes!"
It's normal for readers to vote to support their favorite books or authors. If this counts as fake votes, then there's no need for the list to exist at all.
On this matter, Wang Pu was confident and confident. How could he swallow his anger?
His opinion was immediately supported by everyone.
The way to seek an explanation was very simple, that is, to complain and protest through the customer service of Waves Reading.
One or two complaints may not have any effect, but what if there are hundreds or thousands of people?
The effect will definitely be different!
The group members of "The Smiling, Proud, and Smiling Wanderer" readers group are still very united. Their large number of complaints and protests have also attracted the attention and attention of Inspur Books official, because many of these readers are VIP users, and their levels are very high.
In other words, they were regular subscribers.
Near noon, the department head of Waves Reading, together with the channel's editor-in-chief, editor, and technical customer service staff, held a small meeting to discuss this matter.
The head asked, "What's going on with the book" The Smiling, Proud Wanderer "? So many people complained. "
The technician explained, "This book suddenly appeared on the top of the weekly list at 0: 10 this morning. There's a serious suspicion of fake votes, so I blocked the votes this morning."
The head frowned and asked, "Have you checked if it's really fake votes?"
The technician shook his head, "Not yet. The votes are all normal, but …"
At this time, the channel's editor-in-chief coughed and said, "I've paid attention to this book before. It's quite good, and the theme is quite special, but the author refused to sign the contract."
The supervisor furrowed his brows. "What's the reason for your refusal?"
The editor-in-chief said, "He has a problem with the copyright contract, so he didn't want to sign it."
"So that's why …"
The head suddenly understood. Sometimes, the author refused to sign the contract, and it was mostly because of the contract.
But it was really rare for a book like "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" to appear on the homepage list without a contract. It should be known that unsigned works did not have any recommendations, so the exposure was too low. How could it compare with popular books?
But understanding was one thing, but how to deal with it?
The head was also a bit puzzled. It was obviously unjust to block the list, but since the author refused to sign the contract, it would not bring benefits to the website. Why would the website give the valuable homepage resources to him?
After thinking about it, the head said resolutely, "Since it's blocked, let's block it to the end. Contact the author again and ask him if he is willing to sign the contract. If he is willing, then we will unblock it."
What if he is still not willing? No one asked this question, because it was not necessary.
The customer service staff asked, "What about those complaints?"
The head smiled and said, "Just tell them that the data of this book is abnormal, and the technology is dealing with it."
In any case, he would not let "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" on the homepage, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.
After the meeting, the editor-in-chief contacted "Remember Now and Ancient" again through QQ.
However, she didn't get any reply.
Because at this time, Lu Chen didn't know the storm caused by "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" at all.
He was currently in Hangzhou.
