My Life Reset Simulator - Chapter 21

Chapter 21 The Secret Background

“What the hell is going on? What are these good-for-nothings doing?”

Lei Yong held his phone tightly, revealing a row of teeth stained yellow by coffee. He was so fierce that he looked like he was going to eat someone. The coffee that was poured on his body was still steaming, but he did not feel hot.

All his attention was on the direction of public opinion. All the blood in his body rushed to his brain. His pair of red eyes trembled rapidly, almost piercing through the phone screen.

“How could this be? How could this be!” Lei Yong roared at the sky unwillingly. His fat limbs were curled up, like a round meatball rolling around in the office.

He could not believe that the black draft he had spent money to buy had all turned white!

When he was unaware, the marketing accounts suddenly turned their guns. They were all apologizing to Netland, and “Battle Through the Heavens”?

There must be a reason why these marketing accounts would refuse to make money! But Lei Yong did not know the exact reason. The unknown made him instinctively afraid. He stumbled and fell onto the sofa.

Zhong Jie quickly came over to support him and used a towel to dry the excess coffee. Then, he took the phone from the shocked and stiff Lei Yong. He wanted to see what content could make him so afraid.

“They’re apologizing? They even said our names?” Zhong Jie couldn’t believe his eyes.

Blackmailing a competitor was considered a basic operation of online marketing, but there was an unwritten rule, which was that the employer would never be sold out if something happened.

Because once sold out, the reputation of the marketing company would completely collapse in the industry. Perhaps even if this was the only marketing company left in the world, no one would be willing to cooperate with it.

Even if someone spent a lot of money to buy the information, the information that was published on the surface would only be some groundless rumors. There would definitely be no concrete evidence.

However, for a marketing company like Huo Shui Marketing, which directly put the employer’s name in bold capital letters, and directly said that they had accepted Lei Yong and the money from Changing Publisher, this was simply shocking in the marketing world!

Zhong Jie did not know what kind of stimulation the people of Live Water Marketing had received, but their apology was written with true feelings. He could even feel the agony of the author. He was just short of recording a video to kneel down and apologize.

“That’s insane! Brother Lei, what do we do now?”

Zhong Jie immediately felt that things were bad, and the direction of public opinion changed. They would suffer as much as the Netland website was attacked, or even twice as much! The reputation of the publishing house was collapsing because of Lei Yong’s shameless manipulation!

He turned around and shook Lei Yong, who was lying on the sofa. He found that Lei Yong had rolled his eyes and had fainted out of anger.

Fat people’s blood vessels tended to accumulate fat, which caused the blood flow to become narrow. When emotional excitement caused the blood flow to accelerate, it was very easy for the weak blood vessels to burst.

Zhong Jie shook it hard twice, but Lei Yong still did not respond. He shouted anxiously to the outside of the office, “Someone help, send Brother Lei to the hospital!”

On the other side, in an old residential area in Yanlos.

Xu Yuan sat in front of the computer and took a sip of tea. The bitter fragrance lingered on the tip of his tongue, driving away the chaotic consciousness.

The tea was the best quality earl grey sent by Cai Pingtong. In order to soothe Xu Yuan’s broken heart from the Internet trolls.

Although Xu Yuan himself didn’t care about it, he browsed through the comments online in a relaxed and happy manner.

But gradually, Xu Yuan found that the muzzle of public opinion had suddenly changed. He looked at the mad dog who was scolding people suddenly turning into a docile chihuahua.

He took another sip of tea and exclaimed, “The change of face is really faster than the change of weather.”

The marketing account that had taken the lead in accusing “Heaven Breaker” of corrupting the youth suddenly deleted the article and even wrote a thousand-word apology article, it clearly described “Lei Yong spent money to buy a troll army,” “Why did Lei Yong spend money to buy a troll army,” and “What did Lei Yong used to spend money to buy a troll army for?”.

It focused on Lei Yong signing the copyright to make a wish, but did not give him the resources required to make a wish. This led to the process of making a wish being forced to write a web article, arousing the deep sympathy of the netizens for Xu Yuan.

At the same time, the netizens who knew the truth also knew Lei Yong’s despicable means, especially the netizens who had once cursed “Battle Through the Heavens”. After learning that they had been used as a gun, the crowd immediately became infuriated.

“Damn it, who is this Lei Yong! He is so cunning and treats the netizens as fools. If I buy another book from Changing Publisher, I will be struck by lightning!”

“I knew that I had been tricked! Xu Yuan was innocent. He was tricked and yet he could not retaliate. He is so pitiful!”

“Wow, so the author Xu Yuan is the genius author who published his first novel ‘Black Wall’ at the age of sixteen. I was wondering why he did not publish a book after that. So he was tricked by a villain!”

“Sob sob sob, I was wondering why ‘Battle Through the Heavens’ was written so well. Turns out that the main character, Xiao Yan was Xu Yuan himself. He was struggling to survive in the crevice and managed to create his own world. Sob sob sob. I will always love ‘Battle Through the Heavens’!”.

“Support ‘Battle Through the Heavens’!”

“I will go to the Netland website now and reward them. I will use my actual actions to support them!”

“I will go too!”

The news of the reversal spread very quickly on the internet. Within three hours, it had rushed onto the hot searches on Microblog. (Please correct the name of “Battle Through the Heavens”) was placed at the top of the popular searches. Immediately after that, there was a large ‘hot’ word!

More than 100 million people had browsed the article, and 80 million people had participated in the discussion, becoming the top article to be published on the Internet!

With the support of current affairs news, Battle Through the Heaven’s reputation grew once again. Even those who did not read online articles were curious to register on Netland, wanting to see how well the online articles at the center of the Whirlpool were written.

Ve

The average subscription of “Battle Through the Heavens” had doubled again, becoming a legend that Netland online articles could not break!

“What’s going on?” Xu Yuan Drank the his cup and scratched his cheek.

He tried hard to recall what he had done during this period. It seemed that he had only persuaded the editor and Freya not to pay attention to the online news, and the rest seemed to have really done nothing.

It was strange. Why did these marketing accounts suddenly surrender?

“Could it be that they have a conscience?” Xu Yuan muttered to himself. “Do marketing accounts have a conscience?” After a moment of doubt, Xu Yuan still could not think of anything.

He was not a person who liked to get into a dead end. Since he could not think of anything, then forget it. After all, it was not an important matter.

The sky outside the window gradually darkened. The lights of thousands of houses lit up. Xu Yuan knew that it was time for dinner.

He walked out of the room with a teacup in his hand. His parents had just placed the dishes on the coffee table. When they saw their son coming out, they had a normal smile on their faces.

Fortunately, the two of them did not use their smartphones, so the overwhelming internet had no effect on them.

“You must be hungry. Come and sit down.” Mr. Xu greeted his son with one hand, turned on the television with the other, and pressed the news channel. This was his unshakable habit.

The dignified female newscaster was holding a manuscript and broadcasting the cultural news:

“Next, please listen to the news of this city. The state has taken action, the Southeast Media has taken the lead, and they have dealt a heavy blow to the unscrupulous marketing accounts. Live Water Marketing has been rectified and fined.”

“The NPC representative, Wan Ru, has put the revision of the new copyright law on the agenda. Please see the detailed report…”

When he heard this, Xu Yuan pricked up his ears.

He had heard Cai Pingtong mention that Freya’s real name began with Wan, and this representative of the National People’s Congress’s name also began with Wan.

Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes as he thought, is there really such a coincidence in this world.
