Chen Tinghan took a sip of his hot soup and said, "So I've thought about it. We can try to contact this person, but the relationship can only be superficial."
"Do you have any other ideas?"
He nodded, and without hiding anything, he said directly: "The campus confession wall."
Li Zishan exclaimed, "Are we going to rely on this for advertising?"
"No, we need to create a new account and operate a new confession wall." Chen Tinghan said.
"What's the point of this?" she asked in confusion. "There are a lot of love walls now. There's one right here at Haiyi Middle School."
“Are there many people watching?”
"Not much... not much, it seems to be getting less and less."
Chen Tinghan said, "Of course it's less, because the account is run by students as a hobby. I've learned that ownership of that wall account has passed through three hands, each of which is a succession of graduates. With each graduation, the account's operations fluctuate wildly, and its attitude can be described as schizophrenic."
"Indeed." Li Zishan nodded and said, "I remember when school started last month, that wall person personally got into an argument with someone. The content he posted was too negative, which was not good."
"No, that's not the problem. It's human nature to attract attention. A wall should have negative energy, it should have melons, it should have conflict." Chen Tinghan said, picking up a few pieces of chicken for the girl, and then said, "But the account itself can't become a battlefield."
Li Zishan blinked and complained, "You are really so shady."
"Well, it's business," Chen Tinghan said. "A confession wall, a confession wall. It's a wall where you can post anything except confessions. No, even confession messages. Do you know why this format became so popular in the first place? It's because of its anonymity and one-way nature."
"Every post on the wall involves real conflicting parties and genuine emotional disputes, but the wall itself does not provide a platform for dialogue between the two parties."
"That's not right. Social media accounts have a comment function. Even if the content posted is censored, it's still framed content after all. They will still argue in the comments and even ask the wall to post a counter-content." Li Zishan said:
"Then it just kept going on and on, and it became a mess."
"That's the key point. This account is being paid to post content. Their behavior is rather unsightly. To boost sales, they're perpetuating a melon, even exacerbating conflicts and profiting from both sides." Chen Tinghan explained, "If you do this, you're bound to get reported. Trying to stop will only lead to even worse criticism."
"If it were me, I would give both sides a chance. If they still want to continue, I would direct them to a third-party community, stop the account from posting relevant content, and then delete all the insults, personal attacks, and group chat content between the two posts."
"The confession wall is actually a storybook that is updated every day. Some people come to have fun, some to provide fun, and some to be messengers of justice. Once you have provided these people with emotional value, you must stop. If it continues to grow, it will be counterproductive."
Chen Tinghan finished his thoughts in one breath, but got no response. He looked up and saw Li Zishan's mouth bulging, eating voraciously and chewing cricket pupae non-stop.
He was speechless. After Li Zishan had almost swallowed the food in her mouth, he asked, "Are you listening?"
"Listening, listening... Baji, baji." Li Zishan said, "Then what should we do? It's very troublesome to operate an account from scratch."
Chen Tinghan smiled and said, "Don't we have one ready?"
Li Zishan thought for a moment before reacting, "You want to take over that account? The operations are being madly attacked right now, and their reputation is awful."
"As much as I hate to say this, it does make sense given the current situation," Chen Tinghan said. "A bad reputation is better than being unknown, especially right now. We don't have the luxury of time to slowly progress. I have an idea. We should wait for the forum owner's response. If he agrees to cooperate, things will go much easier."
"Hmm." Li Zishan tilted his head, seeming a little confused, but after thinking about it, he still didn't ask the question.
Chen Tinghan suddenly apologized, "We're eating, I shouldn't be saying these nonsense."
Li Zishan shook his head and said, "No, I just think you are really amazing."
