Chapter 201 Public Opinion



Before the matter was resolved, new troubles arose.

That afternoon, a news story suddenly went viral and became a trending topic.

"If everyone gives a little love, the world will become a better place."

Entrepreneurs stand idly by, while well-meaning individuals may face imprisonment.

Shi Jing didn't immediately realize that she was trending again. It was Liang Qiu, who had been monitoring online trends recently, who first noticed the situation and contacted Shi Jing.

"You mean, someone bought my trending search?" Shi Jing was completely confused. She didn't seem to have done anything, did she?

After hanging up the phone, she started browsing the news and saw this headline on Weibo's trending topics.

Of course, these are not the only two related topics.

What could possibly warrant her trending on social media?

Shi Jing opened the entry in surprise, and found the story that happened at the entrance of the building that morning in the top topic.

The incident happened suddenly; the conflict occurred outside the building, and many people were watching. There was also CCTV footage of the scene, and it's unclear who filmed it. Of course, it's also possible someone filmed it intentionally, since ordinary bystanders wouldn't know what happened.

Ever since her encounter with the human traffickers, Shi Jing knew she was being targeted and had suspects. However, those who were arrested had also received their assignments through anonymous information, and the police ultimately failed to uncover the mastermind behind it all.

Unexpectedly, it hasn't been long since then, and the other party seems to be getting restless again.

A few minutes later, Miao Chen called again, clearly indicating that the public relations department had also realized something was wrong.

"Boss, a large group of online trolls have suddenly appeared and are stirring up trouble online."

"I already know. You should find someone to quell the hype, and I'll have someone investigate."

"Okay, little boss."

Liang Qiu has many useful friends. Although this matter has caused quite a stir, it's all just the usual tricks of the entertainment industry, so it's not too difficult to investigate.

After contacting Liang Qiu, Shi Jing didn't dwell on the matter much.

Shi Jing felt no guilt whatsoever about the matter. As the victim, Shi Jing did not believe that he had done anything immoral.

However, while she may think this way, others may not.

Mo Juanjuan's actions have violated the law, and the evidence is conclusive; she has no chance of overturning the verdict.

But she still didn't think she had done anything wrong.

Shi Jing is so rich, he has more money than he can spend. What's wrong with taking some out to help those poor people?

Aunt Wang is so pitiful. Her family is poor, and she's over fifty years old but still working odd jobs. Her whole family is crammed into a small rented garage in the county town. Her husband is in poor health and needs to be hospitalized and take medication, and her son is almost thirty and still hasn't gotten married.

That money meant nothing to Shi Jing, but it was a lifeline for Aunt Wang's family!

Mo Juanjuan not only said this to Shi Jing, but she also thought it in her heart.

Two hours after the video of the conflict at the doorway went viral, its popularity had finally subsided slightly, but suddenly a new video surged to the top of the trending list. In the video, Mo Juanjuan looked haggard and pitiful. She didn't accuse Shi Jing, nor did she mention the embezzlement, instead focusing on Aunt Wang's kindness and the family's poverty.

The online trolls are also highly skilled; they ignore fair and reasonable comments, but directly promote and pin one-sided opinions.

[What a beautiful and kind-hearted young lady!]

[Aunt Wang's family is so pitiful]

[The rich are so heartless; they make money off the hard-earned money of ordinary people, yet they can't bear to spend a single penny on them.]

......

Since the other party kept spending money to buy trending topics, Shi Jing simply decided not to waste that money to remove the trending topics. She even had the mind to watch a big show.

Isn't this mastermind a bit stupid? Doesn't they know they run a charitable foundation? They actually attacked her for being heartless. Shi Jing even felt that the other party was trying to make her famous.

"Young boss, you're overthinking it. If they want to smear you, they can find fault with you no matter how well you do."

"Tsk, I got it."

Liang Qiu was always keen to refute her words.

As one act ended, another began. Two hours later, an interview with Aunt Wang's family was released. In the video, the family, like everyone else, refused to mention the source of the money, expressing their deepest gratitude to Mo Juanjuan.

What a lively show!

While Shi Jing watched the commotion, Zhang Sumu and the others were busy calling the police and gathering evidence of Mo Juanjuan's illegal activities.

Besides, she wouldn't let the Wang family off the hook either.

Shi Jing didn't believe that honest, simple people could have the ability to arouse a young girl's sympathy, to the point that she would even embezzle company funds.

Zhang Sumu couldn't easily investigate this matter, but Liang Qiu had plenty of manpower.

Lin Yu even called Shi Jing. With sufficient funds and an expanding workforce, the company could send someone over immediately if needed.

Wow, this security company is such a good investment, I'm tempted to send them more money.

*

Despite the provocations from the other party, Shi Jing's side continued to collect various pieces of evidence in an orderly manner, and after organizing the evidence, they submitted it to the police.

At this point, the online discussion had shifted to the background of the exposed mirror.

Through the deliberate manipulation of online trolls, Shijing, a victim company, has been portrayed as a ruthless capitalist who mistreats kind-hearted employees.

I never expected this person to be so ruthless.

[They look respectable, so why can't they do anything decent?]

[They make so much money but are still so stingy, are they evading taxes?]

......

Shi Jing received the police report and posted it online.

At the same time, evidence of online trolls and lawsuits against accounts spreading rumors were also released.

Shi Jing: The internet is not a lawless place, but have people already forgotten about it in just six months?

Shi Jing isn't known for her good temper. At the beginning of the year, she sued quite a few marketing accounts, but in just six months, these keyboard warriors who never learn their lesson have already forgotten. It seems she's just too kind-hearted and couldn't intimidate them.

Shi Jing has no shortage of money to sue those spreading rumors. Although Xiao Caishen usually doesn't like to deal with Shi Jing, he is not without temper when Shi Jing is targeted in a short period of time.

[Beep! The internet, though infinitely free, has its limits! Maintaining a healthy online environment is everyone's responsibility!]

[To protect your reputation, please pursue legal action against those spreading rumors. All expenses will be covered by the God of Wealth System, with no upper limit!]

Shi Jing had possessed the Little God of Wealth System for many years, and aside from learning guidance and occasional tasks, the two rarely communicated. This was the first time Shi Jing had discerned the emotions in the Little God of Wealth System's voice. At this moment, she was completely unmoved by the chaotic online discussions, but rather quite interested in the Little God of Wealth's state.

She gently reassured him, "Don't worry, I definitely won't let anyone bully me."

At the beginning of the year, she spent her own money to hold the rumor-mongers accountable, and this time is no exception.
