Chapter 400 Threatening the Courier
Lin Ting has completely gained the trust of Pearl Bird. Pearl Bird is completely defenseless against her and tells her everything.
"Niao heard the bad guy and other bad guys discussing getting rid of a guy named Lao Xu. They said Lao Xu was stealing their limelight. The recent huge traffic flow has been tilted towards Lao Xu. They have no money to make anymore. They must get rid of him so that the traffic can return to their hands."
This is indeed the case with live streaming by internet celebrities.
There are only so many passers-by and traffic. If the traffic is tilted towards one person, the rest of the people will not get much traffic.
Live streaming relies entirely on tips from fans and viewers. If all the fans go to one person’s live streaming room, the traffic exposure and income of other people’s live streaming rooms will be greatly reduced.
You will eat less cake.
In order to confirm the authenticity of what the pearl bird said, Lin Tingling's eyes fell on Si Chen and Wu Dachuan, "What was the name of the deceased?"
"Xu Ying, everyone in the company calls him Lao Xu. His account ID is Lao Xu Loves Food Broadcasting. He is a blogger who specializes in food broadcasting. According to their colleagues, this person is a big eater. Unlike other food broadcasting bloggers, he will not induce vomiting after eating, nor will he fake eating. During the live broadcast, he will explain to everyone how to eat food to make it more delicious." Si Chen answered Lin Ting's question truthfully.
Wu Dachuan then added, "We've read the comments from fans. They say that Lao Xu eats with great appetite and looks delicious, which is why he became popular online. Our staff has also watched Xu Ying's live broadcast videos, and they really don't fake eating. She doesn't eat like a glutton, but rather eats in a gentle and elegant manner. It really whets your appetite."
After hearing the two people's answers, Lin Ting could basically confirm the truthfulness of what the pearl bird said.
"Has their company recently been diverting all traffic to Xu Ying?"
"We haven't asked about this, but we've looked at their company's traffic distribution for several internet celebrities, and the bulk of it is indeed in Xu Ying's livestream. Since Xu Ying's livestream traffic skyrocketed, the traffic to the other celebrities' livestreams has plummeted. Their fans even rushed to Xu Ying's livestream and scolded her, saying that Xu Ying was shameless and was stealing their idol's fans and tips from their big fans.
According to the front desk staff, since Xu Ying became famous, he has received many threatening express deliveries, including dead mice and cats, as well as death threat letters that cursed Xu Ying's ancestors for eighteen generations. The staff said that after seeing these things, Xu Ying did not collapse but was very calm. After reading them, he threw them directly into the trash can and said that if he encountered such express deliveries in the future, he could just help him throw them away and there was no need to send them to his office.
The staff were quite shocked at the time. After all, it is inevitable that everyone would be afraid when receiving something like this.
The day before Xu Ying passed away, a courier containing death greetings was delivered to the company. The front desk staff had no time to deal with it. Tian Tian checked the courier numbers and found that these express deliveries were sent by fans of several other people in the company. Our people went to the fans who sent the express deliveries to inquire about the situation.
Fans said that their idol complained in the group that Xu Ying had a deal with the company's senior management, which took away their traffic and rewards for big fans, causing their income to plummet. These fans were like brainless people, helping their idol to stand up for justice, and started chasing Xu Ying online to scold her, and sending these death expresses offline. As for other things, they said they didn't dare to do it.
Our staff checked and found that they all had alibis on the night of Xu Ying's death, and were simply used as weapons by their idol to attack others.
These young fans have no ability to make their own judgments, so of course they believe whatever others say and don’t even realize they are being used as pawns.
Wu Dachuan rambled on for a long time, and Si Chen immediately grasped the key point, "Let's hear if Xu Ying's death is related to the company's traffic imbalance."
Lin Ting nodded and said, "Maybe it's related. Most of the company's traffic is tilted towards Xu Ying. Others have no money to make, so naturally they want to kick Xu Ying out. As for how much of a relationship it has with them, we need to ask Pearl Bird."
After hearing Lin Ting's answer, everyone immediately understood what was going on. No one interrupted him anymore and just waited quietly for Lin Ting to speak.
Lin Ting's fingers tapped the table rhythmically, bringing Pearl Bird's thoughts back to reality. "How do they plan to get rid of this person?"
Woo
'At first, I wanted to find some negative information about Lao Xu. As long as the negative information was exposed, Lao Xu would lose fans. The company would not throw all the traffic at Lao Xu.
These bad guys searched everywhere but couldn't find any evidence against him. They just found out that he was a little poor and had a sick mother at home who needed to be taken care of.
This kind of thing is not considered black material on the Internet. It can even be said to be a point of selling misery, which can arouse the sympathy of fans and get fans to give rewards. These people dare not expose this kind of thing at all because they are not children from rich families.
"And then?"
"They couldn't find any negative information about Lao Xu, so they had to think of other ways. A few people got together and planned to frame Lao Xu. They specifically found a bad woman and wanted to take a photo of the bad woman and Lao Xu together. If they posted it, his fans would stop following him and he might even be investigated. No matter how much the company values an internet celebrity with this kind of character, they won't focus on cultivating him."
Lin Ting clenched his hands at his sides into fists.
These people are really a cancer. When negative information cannot destroy others, they try to frame them and destroy them, just for traffic and profit.
They wanted to find women to take photos and create a gimmick of Xu Ying's PC. This would not only expose her reputation in front of the public, but also lead to her being taken away by the police for investigation. PC is not a trivial matter and it violates the bottom line and the law.
Some people are full of evil intentions when they become bad.
Lin Ting did not ask any further questions, but listened quietly to what the pearl bird said.
"That evening, the bad guys surnamed Qian invited Old Xu to dinner under the guise of a friendly get-together. Old Xu didn't want to be in cahoots with them and directly refused their request. The other party was not willing to give up, saying that Old Xu was being disrespectful if he didn't stay. The other party also said that if they didn't go out to eat, they could order takeout and eat in the company tea room, so that the higher-ups would know that they were getting along and wouldn't have to worry about them."
"Niao didn't know what Old Xu was thinking. He actually agreed to stay and have dinner with these malicious people. Halfway through the meal, Bird saw the bad guy named Qian put something into Old Xu's cup. Bird didn't know what it was, but it was powder, and it was obvious that it was not a good thing."
'After Lao Xu came back from the toilet, he immediately found that something was wrong with the cup, so he didn't drink it.
A few bad guys realized that their plan might be discovered by Lao Xu, so they wanted to use force and directly force the contents of the cup to make Lao Xu drink it. Two of them grabbed Lao Xu's arms, and the other one took the cup and tried to force Lao Xu to drink it, saying that if Lao Xu hadn't taken their traffic, they wouldn't have done such a thing.
