Chapter 509 Family members are on air
The 25th floor of a high-end office building in Tianhai City.
The woman threw a stack of press releases onto her subordinate's desk.
"These are the latest edited negative stories about Li Muhan and Xia Yue. Hurry up and polish them, add some pictures, come up with a more explosive title, and then send it out."
The man with glasses picked up the document and looked at it for a few seconds before he couldn't help but smile.
"This is so shocking! This guy named Li Muhan is a rapist and robber, and he's committed all sorts of evil."
Then he flipped through it casually again and couldn't help frowning.
"How come it's the same as last time? There's no evidence at all. This time it's even more outrageous. It's completely fabricated."
Hearing the man say this, the woman slammed the table.
"Why do you think we were able to move into such a high-end office building?! The eldest daughter of the Xia family gave us so much money, and we only have so little to do, and you have complaints?! We have pictures and the truth, why do we need you here? Hurry and write it for me! Make it look like the truth!"
The man was a little embarrassed.
"But, but... Spreading rumors is illegal, and there's no source for this information. They started with a picture, and the whole story is made up, and there's even a picture. You..."
"Is this your first day at this?! Write something sensational, stir up the reader's emotions, and keep the story short, just mention it briefly. Focus your writing on attacking Li Muhan's character, making him out to have a father who's a high-ranking official at a certain company and a mother who's an official at a certain government agency. Tap into all the public's emotions and delve into them! Do you understand?"
The man looked bitter.
He used to be an editor of a serious newspaper, and reporting the truth was his duty.
But can these things really be considered the truth now?
Since I came to this online media company called "Zhen Yan Yong Zai", the thing I do most every day is to talk with pictures.
How to use an ordinary picture to mobilize the public's emotions and get the most traffic is what he studies every day.
And now it's even more outrageous. Just based on a photo of a teenager wearing a black suit, they want to portray him as an unforgivable villain.
The strange thing is that no matter how outrageous what I write is, there are still people who believe it, and the number of people who believe it is increasing.
Even as a member of the media, I know that people's diversity is magnified online, but this is too much...
"Zhu Lin, are you sure? Is this really what we as media people should do?"
This woman named Zhu Lin is the host of Zhenyan Yongzai Media and the owner of this online media company. It is she who leads her team every day to expand the influence of the rumors about Li Muhan.
She was about to go back to her office, but after hearing this, she sneered and walked to the man's desk.
"What? When you were writing about that female college student named Xia Yue, did you forget how much money you made? You were so happy when we were dividing the money, and now that you're done with it, you've started to forget your original intention? Are you fucking qualified to teach me a lesson? If you don't want to do it, get out! If you don't want to do it, there are plenty of people who want to do it!"
She was right. Now Zhenyan Yongzai has become a hot commodity in the eyes of these online media people.
If you can earn several thousand dollars by writing an article like this against your conscience, who wouldn't want to do it?
This is the era where traffic is king.
The first article I wrote for Zhenyan Yongzai was about a female student named Xia Yue.
He was very conflicted at that time, but faced with the temptation of wealth, he chose to compromise. At the beginning, he was very nervous when writing, and he felt uneasy after finishing it.
But I didn't expect that after the article was written, although it would not be without doubts, it would soon be suppressed by waves of condemnation.
After that, basically no one cared about the truth anymore.
Everyone was partying in this online feast, finding their own unique happiness. More and more "friends", "classmates" and "relatives" began to tell the stories they knew about Xia Yue.
A girl who had done nothing.
Because of his not-so-excellent article, she actually became a whore that anyone could have sex with.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment.
The following articles denounced Xia Yue's shameless behavior, and the popularity continued to soar, and he also made a fortune in this feast of lies.
Now he is asked to give up his wealth and pick up the pen that represents the so-called truth.
That's impossible.
"No, no, Zhu Lin, I'm just kidding. I'll write it right away, I'll write it right away, and I'll make sure that Li Muhan is ruined. I promise that his death will be even more uglier than that of Xia Yue!"
"That's more like it. Remember to update Xia Yue's popularity more often, don't let that little bitch get over it."
The woman snorted coldly and walked towards her office.
But at this moment, her assistant ran over.
"Boss Zhu! Something bad has happened!!"
"What's the matter? What's all the fuss?"
Zhu Lin said impatiently as she looked at the boy running towards her.
The assistant was at most twenty years old, with fair skin and handsome looks. Of course, his job was not just to be an assistant to Zhu Lin when she was working, he also had to work overtime and do physical work at night.
The assistant handed the tablet to Zhu Lin.
"Mr. Zhu, look... this guy named Li Muhan is live streaming online..."
When Zhu Lin heard this, she immediately grabbed the tablet.
Sure enough, on the largest live streaming platform in the country, the young man named Li Muhan was wearing a black suit and sitting in a place that looked like an office. His eyes were red, as if he had just cried.
[Everyone, I am Li Muhan, the person you’ve been criticizing recently.]
Zhu Lin sneered, "What an idiot! The best thing to do at a time like this is to play dead and handle the situation calmly. Replying directly is courting death. Don't bother with him; he's not very popular."
This kind of live broadcast room is obviously newly built, and the account is newly registered, and they want to broadcast live? It's really hilarious.
Just wait, since you dare to speak out, I will make you die in the most ugliest way.
She even began to imagine that Li Muhan could not bear the pressure of public opinion and chose to jump off the building to commit suicide.
"Mr. Zhu! This isn't looking good... The popularity of this livestream is ridiculously high!"
Zhu Lin was a little confused.
She hadn't noticed it just now, but now she took another look at the popularity of the live broadcast room, and her face instantly turned ashen.
She stared at the screen on the tablet. Li Muhan's live broadcast had been going on for a while, and the number of people in the live broadcast room was increasing rapidly. Less than five minutes after the broadcast started, the number of people in the live broadcast room had reached one million. The number of viewers in the live broadcast room had exceeded one million and was still rising.
Every word and sentence of Li Muhan was heard by countless people.
His voice was calm and firm, and there was no panic in his eyes, but instead a convincing power.
I know there have been a lot of false reports about me recently.
Li Muhan's voice was clear and powerful. He did not avoid the problem but faced it directly.
Today, I am here to clarify all the rumors and restore the truth.
