Chapter 31 How dare you take advantage of this popularity

The power of netizens cannot be ignored. Their uproar and overwhelming reports finally attracted the attention of relevant departments.

The Public Security Bureau of City S quickly issued a statement.

[Title: Regarding the incident where a certain anchor surnamed Bai spread rumors in the live broadcast room.]

[Content: Recently, we received active reports from netizens that a live streamer surnamed Bai claimed in his live broadcast room that he was involved in the death of a celebrity surnamed Wu. We hereby issue a statement:

A celebrity named Wu died in a car accident without any other intervention. According to Article 291-1, Paragraph 2 of Chinese law:

Fabricating false information about dangers, epidemics, disasters, or police incidents and disseminating them on information networks or other media, or knowingly disseminating such false information on information networks or other media, thereby seriously disrupting social order, shall be subject to imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention, or controlled release;

If serious consequences are caused, the offender shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than seven years.

We hereby warn the rumormonger, a certain anchor surnamed Bai, that he will be fined according to the law. If he does not repent, he will be detained and sentenced according to the law.

There was a burst of applause from the audience.

1st floor: Hurry over to eat melons, police uncle is awesome! You are my god!

2nd floor: I finally waited for you, luckily I didn’t give up, Bai Qiuwu’s big rollover scene, thank you, I feel great.

3rd floor: Oh my god, no way, no way, there is really no way someone would even take advantage of the popularity of a dead person and get exposed on the spot? I am dying of laughter, how can there be such a shameless person?

Floor 4: I’m tired of saying Bai Qiuwu should get out of the entertainment industry, but now it seems that she has indeed gotten out. So, can I go a step further and ask her to get out of the public eye?

5th floor: Sometimes I don't know how to comment on Bai Qiuwu. She's riding on the popularity of a dead person and saying that Wu Li is guilty and deserves death. How can she be like this? Even if Wu Li made a mistake, she shouldn't kick him when he's down like this. They used to be a couple!

6th Floor: What's with all the hype about this CP? It was clearly Bai Qiuwu who was harassing Wu Li unilaterally before, and now that Wu Li is in trouble, this woman is running away faster than anyone else. She's really hypocritical to the extreme, and she deserves it. Wu Li made a mistake, but the law has already ruled, and it doesn't even warrant the death penalty, okay? What a vicious woman.

…

The most important thing for public figures, especially those who are watched by countless people, is to pay attention to their words and actions.

Because many times, a word you say unintentionally will be used to influence the rhythm of many people.

Bai Qiuwu fully meets the prerequisite of being the focus of countless people, but as a public figure, she is completely unscrupulous, let alone being careful with her words.

I just say whatever comes to my mind, never caring about the reaction it might cause.

Her attitude would easily lead to criticism, not to mention that this matter was so sensitive and it caused official repercussions.

Basically, after the official statement was released, she was immediately scolded and became a hot topic, and this time it was even more serious than the last time.

Last time, when everyone scolded her, at most they just felt a little annoyed and wanted her to get out. There were also many passers-by who were just watching the show. But this time it was different. This time, the black fans joined in, especially two fierce teams:

——Wu Li’s fans, as well as passersby who dislike him.

Wu Li was a popular male star before, and he had countless fans. But because his reputation fell so badly, many people stopped being his fans.

Even if they haven't stopped being his fans, they wouldn't dare to come out and say they still support him. After all, normal people have positive values ​​and can distinguish right from wrong.

But it’s different now. Wu Li has died accidentally. He made a mistake, but the dead are the greatest.

The person is dead, and you are still trying to get attention for him. You even say that he deserved to die and is adding insult to injury. Who else can I blame but you?

Any ordinary person with a decent outlook on life would come out and throw a tantrum.

If the last time was a carnival of black fans, then this time it was probably an attack from the entire network, an advanced version of network-wide blackening.

At the same time, on the top floor of Starlight Group, in the president's office, Pu Yao rubbed his temples with a headache on his face.

The executive director was stunned at this moment, and Pu Xi stammered and couldn't speak.

They had just gone through the whole thing from beginning to end and found it very tricky.

Many people who have offended bigwigs and can no longer survive in the entertainment industry will choose to enter the live streaming industry.

One advantage of live streaming is that there is no threshold. No matter if you are blacklisted or banned by the entire network, the live streaming platform can provide you with an opportunity to show up.

However, the live streaming platform is not without taboos. For example, people who break the law must not be allowed to live stream, and accounts that should be blocked must still be blocked. Otherwise, the entire platform will be subject to inspection for one person. What a pity.

The executive director originally wanted to sign Bai Qiuwu because he thought she was profitable. When he saw that she had lost her popularity, he was worried that the business could not be maintained without operations. However, he was slapped in the face.

But this sudden popularity doesn't seem to be a good thing.

"She, how dare she say that..." The director was almost in tears. "I feel like if she doesn't get scolded, she'd be doing a disservice to her mouth. This is just attracting hatred with her strength."

Pu Xi was a little embarrassed, but he still firmly defended the master: "She is right. The Wu man deserved it. He has done so many bad things."

The director really wanted to advise the second young master not to be so naive, as many things cannot be calculated in this way.

Before he could finish his words, Pu Yao suddenly looked at him.

"Based on the current popularity, has her value increased again?"

The director was stunned, but the boss's words were much more important than his brother's. Although he couldn't figure out why he asked, he answered truthfully: "Yes, the popularity is higher than before, and the value is also increasing."

"But there's a problem. She's had a complete car accident and has attracted the attention of the police. Signing the contract might not be a good thing."

"What if we eliminate her negative influence?" Pu Yao asked back.

The director was stunned again: "This... in that case, of course there is no problem."

Pu Yao nodded and looked at Pu Xi: "Are you sure she can sign it?"

When Pu Xi heard the tone, he knew his brother was going to make a move. He immediately showed anticipation and nodded rapidly, "Sure, she wanted to sign the contract anyway, but we didn't let her before."

"Don't worry, I will definitely sign it. We have a very good relationship."

After listening to what he said, Pu Yao finally stopped hesitating and made a phone call.

When the call was connected, he said succinctly: "Give me a copy of all the violations of discipline and law that Wu Li has done. Yes, I need clear evidence. You can name your price."

Director and Pu Xi: “?”

The two of them were confused and their eyes were blank.

Pu Yao, however, had already finished his call. He looked at them calmly and said casually, "Wu Li did a lot more, but the evidence was hard to find and the cost was too high. I didn't think it was worth it, so I only revealed the little things he did in the entertainment industry."

The director cautiously probed, "So, he actually did more?"

"It's not clear yet, but there should be some. Let's check it out first and then make it public. It should be able to divert public attention."

Then he looked at Pu Xi and said, "I'll give you three days to sign him, otherwise I'll charge you for this."

Pu Xi: “?”

Pu Xi: “!”
