Chapter 83



He wanted to hold back a big move so as not to alert the enemy and let the fish escape, but he didn't expect that under Zhang Dafu's packaging, Tao Mu had become a white lotus in the prosperous age and was unable to complain.

However, Tao Mu suffered greatly from the shattered image and the criticism from thousands of people in his previous life, so he naturally didn't bother to mess with his character in this life, especially a character like "The White Lotus of the Prosperous Age" which was full of flaws. I immediately explained, "I have no intention of being a saint. The reason why I did not publish the evidence as soon as I received it is because my family and I agree that the mastermind behind the scenes cannot be let off. It is hateful that Mr. and Mrs. Tao Haiguo wantonly smeared me for money and even instigated netizens to carry out cyber violence against me. But the mastermind behind the scenes is even more hateful. He did whatever he wanted by relying on his wealth - of course, having money can indeed allow you to do whatever you want, but adults must also bear the consequences of their own actions."

"I must take this opportunity to appeal to some netizens to use their brains when watching melons and not just believe what others say. Being used as a gun is not a good thing to show off. This only proves that some spectators have low IQ and need to pay for recharge, but this is not a reason for you to attack others recklessly on the Internet. The great man also said that without investigation, there is no right to speak. We all went to junior high school, and who hasn't learned a few years of political courses? Not having a good brain is not a problem, but knowing that your brain is not working well and still willing to be a gun for others and bite everywhere, that is a problem. So don't rush to express your opinion when watching melons in the future, and don't rush to shirk responsibility every time something goes wrong. It's the 21st century, and we must strive to be rational and objective spectators. After all, before knowing the truth, no one pointed a gun at your head and asked you to type so many vicious messages cursing other people's ancestors, right?"

"You chose to vent your emotions by hurting others with words, so don't act like you were deceived and are also a victim after the truth comes out. It's not your fault to be stupid, but it's your fault to hurt others recklessly because you are as stupid as a pig."

"Of course, no matter what, I also want to thank all the netizens who have passionately invested in the previous verbal battles. After all, your presence has brought a lot of traffic to Feixun.com. It also makes Feixun.com's advertising sponsors very satisfied. From this perspective, you scolding me is indeed for my own good. So I am willing to swallow the spit in my face."

"Next time if something like this happens again, you can scold me if you want, don't worry about my feelings. After all, if you scold me a few more times, I can get tens of millions more advertising investment next time. It's like paying me mental damages."

If there is a rating standard for venomous tongue, Tao Mu's venomous tongue is probably at the level of a level 10 Grand Slam.

Not to mention the netizens who saw this interview, even if some of them still have a conscience, when Tao Haiguo smeared Tao Mu before, the entertainment magazines that reposted it crazily for traffic also felt... empathy_(:з)∠)_

Damn, compared with the hundreds of millions of sales and advertising fees, face is nothing! Curse casually, curse loudly, curse with rhythm and style. If you don’t curse, you are not a Chinese!

The netizens who had been following the rhythm of various parties and eating melons all the way suddenly laughed, and they really admired Tao Mu's face that was willing to be scolded just to make money. Some people also said that Tao Mu is worthy of being the most inspirational idol in their minds. He can endure pain that ordinary people cannot endure in order to succeed. Some people took advantage of the situation and crawled to Tao Mu's Feixun account to line up and leave messages——

"Boss, just scold me if you want to. Don't worry about my feelings. After all, if you scold me thirty more times, you can give me several thousand yuan at the end of the month. The extra money will be your year-end bonus."

"You can scold Party A if you want, don't worry about my feelings. After all, if you scold me more, you can get hundreds of thousands more in the next cooperation contract. It's like giving me hard work fee in disguise."

"Programmers can scold us if they want to, and don't worry about our product managers' emotions. After all, the more you scold, the more features you can improve next time you hand in your work. It's like giving money to the company in disguise."

"Mom should be scolded..."

"The teacher should be scolded..."

Soon, the “scold when necessary” style was spawned into various versions under the highly entertaining jokes of netizens. Netizens who followed the trend posted messages and queued up everywhere, which increased the traffic of Feixun.com a lot. Even Weibo CEO Gao Yonghuai joined in the fun.

This is what he wrote on his Weibo account:

"Everyone can curse me if they want to, don't worry about my emotions. After all, if you curse me more, the traffic on Weibo will go up. I don't have to envy Feixun.com next door_(:з)∠)_"

He also learned how to add an emoticon at the end of a sentence without any instruction.

As a result, the "curse when necessary" style naturally moved from Feixun.com to the Weibo platform, and the entire Chinese network was suddenly plunged into a carnival of "curse wars", and everyone was having a lot of fun.

Of course, there are also some netizens who have a strong sense of immersion and feel uncomfortable. They thought Tao Mu was really too much, petty and vindictive. It was really ungentlemanly for such a big boss to argue with ordinary netizens - after all, even if they scolded him, it also brought traffic to Feixun.com, didn't it? Tao Mu enjoyed the traffic brought by everyone scolding him, and even increased the advertising fees for it; at the same time, he disliked that everyone should not go online to scold him before the matter was clear, which was simply "eating with a bowl in hand and scolding your mother when you put the bowl down."

"Fuck you!" Tao Mu's diehard fans finally gave up: "Do you know how to speak? Do you know what the phrase 'holding the bowl to eat, putting down the bowl to curse' describes? If you don't know, go check the dictionary. Do you think you are justified in cursing people without knowing anything? You are just relying on the Internet to cover up a layer of skin. Who would dare to do this in real life? You are definitely asking for a beating!"

"Hey, what are you talking about upstairs? This is the quality of you Tao Mu fans!"

So there is no doubt that a meaningless war of words broke out again.

Meng Qi, who had been following the development of the whole thing, looked at the background data and the several Feixun trumpets that kept jumping around and provoking verbal battles, frowned and said, "Someone is trying to lead the trend."

"It should be the navy under Yao Wenxiao's command." Tao Mu sneered. Yao Wenxiao's Yuxiao Media liked to stir up trouble online in his previous life, which once caused Tao Mu a lot of trouble. However, there are benefits to suffering too much. At least Tao Mu has a deep memory of Yao Wenxiao's various methods of leading the pace, and can easily identify that those water armies are led by him.

"Let the technical department check these IP addresses and send a few people to investigate on the spot. It would be best if we could find solid evidence that Yao Wenxiao hired these Feixun accounts to influence the situation in real life. We are not afraid of him making a big noise, we are just afraid of him not making any move at all." As long as Yao Wenxiao takes action, he can catch Yao Wenxiao's tail. In his previous life, Tao Mu was alone and powerless when facing the powerful Saint An Group and Shen Yu's huge group of admirers.

In this life, he has relatives and friends to protect him and partners to help him. Apart from anything else, his ten years of leading experience in the Internet industry can at least allow him to give Yao Wenxiao a taste of his own medicine.

Meng Qi smiled slightly: "I'm glad you're not angry. Dahui followed Yao Shengan and his trusted assistant and got evidence that Bi An had privately contacted Tao Haiguo and his wife. As for the bank flow record of one million yuan that inexplicably appeared in Tao Haiguo's account, we also got it. Do you think we should let Feixun Entertainment break the news or throw the clue to other gossip tabloids?"

Tao Mu thought for a while: "It is better for Feixun Entertainment to report positively. Upload the photos of Bi An's private contact with Tao Haiguo and his wife directly to the official account of Feixun Entertainment, without mentioning the bank flow. Formaly sue Tao Haiguo and his wife in my name, and let the court investigate Tao Haiguo and his wife's bank accounts through formal channels. Feixun Entertainment only needs to follow up on the report."

Tao Mu's actions are all aboveboard. Even though he and the Yao family knew the truth, he had already obtained evidence that the Yao family had bribed Tao Haiguo and his wife. However, when the matter was officially exposed, Feixun Entertainment did not commit any illegal acts, so there was no risk of being caught by the Saint Ann Group and biting back.

——I just don’t know what tricks this old fox Yao Shengan will prepare after seeing his counterattack. Hopefully it won’t be too easy to crack, or he’ll be disappointed too.

Liu Yao and Meng Qi smiled at each other. That evening, the news that "the personal assistant of the chairman of Sheng'an Group privately contacted Tao Haiguo and his wife" and "Tao Mu formally filed a lawsuit in court, accusing Tao Haiguo and his wife of defamation" appeared on the front page of Feixun Entertainment. At the same time, it was pushed to the homepage by Feixun.com.

Netizens who were addicted to eating melons were instantly excited. Their keen sense of smell detected the scent of something big.

Many netizens immediately thought of Tao Mu's pointed words during an interview with reporters - not releasing the recording at the first time was not because he was soft-hearted, but because he wanted to catch the mastermind behind the scenes.

Now Feixun Entertainment has directly revealed that "the assistant to the chairman of Sheng'an Group privately contacted Tao Haiguo and his wife", and the "mastermind behind the scenes" mentioned by Tao Mu is simply self-evident.

One is an upstart Internet company that has recently gained a strong presence, and the other is an old Shanghai food group. The obvious collision between the two sides is no less than a collision between Mars and the Earth. There is no doubt that this incident will become the biggest news of 2008.

The netizens who were watching the show were immediately excited. They flocked to Feixun Entertainment's official account to express their opinions. Some people supported Tao Mu and felt that the Saint Ann Group was being aggressive by repeatedly targeting Tao Mu and Feixun.com. Others felt that Tao Mu must have provoked the Yao family first, otherwise, with the capital background of the Saint Ann Group, how could they repeatedly target a child who had just turned eighteen?

As soon as this suspicion arose, it was refuted by Tao Mu's fans and passers-by who had been watching the show. Netizens who often browse gossip on the Internet still remember that a few months ago, Yao Wenxiao bribed more than a dozen media to spread rumors that Tao Mu was a MB in Ye Se. At that time, Tao Mu and Yao Wenxiao didn't know each other. Yao Wenxiao did this kind of thing out of jealousy, and he didn't repent afterwards. He hired someone to beat up the person who helped Tao Mu find out the truth, and was detained by the police for fifteen days.

——Obviously, Yao Wenxiao was the first to flirt, what does it have to do with Tao Mu? Later, Yao Wenxiao's grandfather stepped in and asked his assistant to bribe Tao Haiguo and his wife with money, spreading rumors that Tao Mu abused his adoptive brother when he was five years old. The behavior styles of the grandfather and grandson are clearly consistent, which shows that this is the family style of the Yao family.

Tao Mu's fans' rebuttal was well-reasoned and easily convinced the netizens who were unaware of the previous situation. The trumpeters who have been clamoring about "conspiracy theory" and "it takes two to tango" are really unable to keep up the pace, and are reluctant to give up the generous bonus, so they can only repeat the same things over and over again, which not only has no effect, but also makes people feel bored.

At this time, we can see the role of Tao Mu's creation of Feixun.com. In his previous life, Yao Wenxiao relied on Sheng'an Group and Yuxiao Media to win over major media and social platforms in the circle, almost controlling all the channels of expression and blackening Tao Mu to the point of being completely destroyed. In this life, Tao Mu relied on Feixun.com to take the initiative and directly expose the various shady tricks used by the Sheng'an Group behind the scenes.

Now the villain became the Saint Ann Group. I wonder what Yao Wenxiao felt when he saw the netizens cursing at him.

As Feixun.com continued to expose the truth, other entertainment media in the industry also followed suit and reported the incident. Even before the results of the court's investigation into Tao Haiguo and his wife's bank accounts came out, a gossip newspaper obtained Tao Haiguo's account statements through some unknown channel.

The extra one million that appeared out of thin air was like cold water dropped into a hot oil pan, instantly arousing the enthusiasm of netizens to continue watching the show.

Yao Wenxiao is not the only one who knows how to use the trumpet to lead the rhythm. Tao Mu also asked someone to register a Feixun account to ask questions online——

"What's going on with this Sheng'an Group? He was the grandson before, and now he's the grandfather. Why is their family always against Mr. Tao?"

"Looking at this step-by-step approach, I'm afraid that Tao Mu won't be killed with one slap. I always feel that the Yao family's actions are not as simple as 'beating the grandson to make the grandfather' protect his shortcomings'?"

"Is there something else going on?"

At the beginning, there were only a few such questions. But because the matter involves Tao Mu, the currently popular president of Feixun.com, and Sheng'an Group, a long-established gourmet family in Shanghai. Gossip about wealthy families has always been the most popular among ordinary people. So this kind of speculation is like leeks in the spring breeze, popping up uncontrollably.

From a single spark, a prairie fire can start in an instant. Just when the curiosity of all the netizens reached its peak, the first episode of the food documentary "Urban Life: Food is the People's Heaven" carefully prepared by Feixun.com was finally aired.

In the words of two veteran artists, Bai An and Pu Lincang, this is a simple program full of humanistic feelings.

In the close-up shots, the rapidly developing Yanjing seems to have entered another time and space. The quaint alleys with black tiles and blue bricks are filled with farmers' markets full of shouts, porters carrying loads on their shoulders, craftsmen sharpening scissors and kitchen knives, an old man making clay figurines and sugar paintings at the entrance of the alley, and the owner of a small restaurant who always wears a cloth jacket to go to the market every morning before dawn to personally select the freshest ingredients.

A colorful painting of urban life slowly unfolds in front of the camera.

An old courtyard house, a study room filled with sunlight, menus written in small calligraphy on gold-embossed rice paper, and exquisite dishes that require complicated preparation steps but are full of color, aroma and flavor, making one's mouth water just by looking at them. Neighbors who dine at Song Kee Bistro every day hear from the owner the historical anecdotes about the various dishes, as well as the stories behind the dishes that reflect the various aspects of life.

The origin of Song Ji, its past glory and current decline, and even the sad life of the owner of the small restaurant, all aroused the emotions of all netizens at the first moment.

Many netizens have said that the "City Life" launched by Danmu.com has become the best thing for them to eat with their meals. Many more netizens living in Beijing went directly to Songji Restaurant in Houhai and tasted the dishes made by Mr. Song in person. I was immediately struck by her beauty.

Just when the entire network was once again occupied by the food promotion documentary launched by Danmu.com, Tao Mu also responded to some netizens' speculations on his Feixun account: "Yes, we have not only new hatred with the Yao family, but also old grudges."

He directly revealed that the disciple who betrayed his master and ancestors mentioned by Grandpa Song in the show was actually Yao Shengan, the founder of Shengan Group.

This man was originally an abandoned baby, but was kindly adopted by the old man of the Song family, who patiently taught him the skills. However, in the end, because he coveted the Song family inheritance, he caused the Song family to be destroyed. It was with the skills handed down by the Song family that he established Chairman Yao of the Sheng'an Group, Yao Sheng'an, far away from Shanghai.

At this moment, the real purpose was revealed, and the sword pointed directly at Yao Shengan!
