Chapter 137 No Cuteness Allowed
Ni Xiao nodded, "If I just casually tell everyone that there is such a water army company that has released information that is detrimental to our artists and manipulated public opinion, it won't have the effect of a bomb exploding."
Her eyes were deep, like two ancient wells, unfathomable. "When everyone's emotions are at their peak, then bringing out this fact creates a dramatic reversal, which can improve the efficiency of the message."
"I see." Jiang Luo nodded slowly.
That's amazing.
She thought to herself: Ni Xiao and Lin Heng are really not the same at all.
The fact that Ni Xiao came to find her so late at night is enough to show his strong execution ability, which is unmatched by ordinary people.
“I came to you to seek your opinion. Once we file a lawsuit and the relevant departments get involved, those involved will inevitably have to pay the price for what they have done.” Ni Xiao turned to face Jiang Luo.
Jiang Luo knew perfectly well who the "related people" she was referring to were.
Specifically referring to Xu Jingyan.
“I have a general understanding of the situation. The blogger who posted the message was just eager to become famous. After receiving the video, he chose to post it immediately to ride the wave of popularity and grab attention. Then he was used as a pawn.”
Jiang Luo understood everything Ni Xiao said. The man had confessed when he gave his statement at the police station, and the police later issued a statement, but few people cared.
"However, the reason that video was able to cause such a huge uproar was not because of a small blogger who didn't have many followers at the time. There was a huge force behind it using it to hype things up and incite netizens' emotions. Among them, some were Xu Jingyan's fans, and the other part were online trolls."
Pointing to the file folder, Ni Xiao continued, "This company specializes in online public relations. They call it public relations, but it's really just online trolls, which is a gray market business. I had my colleagues pretend to apply for the job and work there for a few months to gather evidence. This company has a very wide range of business dealings; they not only cooperate with Xu Jingyan, but also have dealings with many popular celebrities."
Thinking of something, Ni Xiao lowered her eyes, "This company operates tens of thousands of accounts, a number far beyond your imagination." After a pause, she added, "It's what people usually joke about as a 50-cent post."
A joke suddenly broke the solemn atmosphere, catching Jiang Luo off guard.
Ni Xiao continued, "Xu Jingyan didn't hire a PR company this time. I guess it's because she doesn't have a company backing her right now and doesn't have the resources for that. After all, PR companies aren't cheap. So, she teamed up with her big fans to create momentum."
Staring intently at Jiang Luo, Ni Xiao said, "If you agree to use you as an opportunity to retaliate, I need you to be completely on my side. If you don't agree, I can still be completely on your side, but this matter will be exposed sooner or later, even if not now. I also have to be responsible for my other artists, so you need to be mentally prepared in advance."
Jiang Luo was still somewhat stunned, "If... I don't agree..."
“If you disagree, that’s okay too.” Ni Xiao didn’t mean to persuade her; he was just explaining the different outcomes of different choices. “If you disagree, I will throw this weapon out at a better time next time.”
There was absolutely no intention to force her.
It wasn't a strategic retreat, but simply a straightforward respect for her opinion.
Jiang Luo's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, felt as if something had lifted it up, giving her a sense of security as she landed.
“I agree.” She didn’t hesitate any longer.
I will not offend others unless they offend me; if they offend me, I will retaliate.
Ni Xiao chuckled and said, "Not bad."
This sudden praise startled Jiang Luo. Not knowing what Ni Xiao meant, she looked at her with a puzzled expression, her eyes bright, like a deer peeking out from behind a tree in the forest.
Before Jiang Luo could ask any more questions, Ni Xiao urged, "Go back to sleep. Leave the rest to me. I won't see you off."
"oh."
You don't need to do anything, just leave it to her.
These words reassured Jiang Luo greatly.
Turning to the side, with her hands obediently placed on her lap, Jiang Luo reminded her, "Be careful while driving."
"Okay, thank you, you can go back now."
Jiang got out of the car, and the car started immediately.
After walking a few steps forward, Jiang Luo retreated to the side of the road and watched the car drive away.
The night was vast, and the orange lights gradually receded into the distance, eventually disappearing from sight.
Turning back, the little house was also glowing.
The living room lights had been turned on at some point, and glancing to the side, I saw that the lights in the room to my right were also on.
That was He Ziyan's room.
He Ziyan was waiting for her.
The lights magnified infinitely, driving away the cold and darkness, completely enveloping Jiang Luo, spreading out light and warmth like a giant blanket.
She thought this year would definitely be different.
Because of them.
Returning to the cabin, Jiang Luo turned off the living room lights and went back to her room.
Shi Yan was still asleep on the bed.
Jiang Luo returned to her seat, and as soon as she lay down, she heard Shi Yan's sticky voice: "What happened?"
"It's nothing, go to sleep," Jiang Luo said gently.
There was no response, and it's unclear whether that concerned question was asked in a conscious state or just rambling.
Picking up her phone from the bedside table, Jiang Luo turned the brightness down to the lowest setting and sent a message to He Ziyan, telling him exactly what Ni Xiao had said.
He Ziyan immediately replied: 【Okay, I understand.】
Jiang Luo: [This time you don't need to take action. Leave it to Ni Xiao and me. We'll handle it properly.]
He Ziyan: [Okay. If you need anything, let me know immediately. Otherwise...]
Then, he sent a cat emoji with a paw on the cat's head, captioned: "[Pulling your hair]".
Unable to hold back, Jiang Luo burst out laughing, then quickly covered her mouth.
Fortunately, Shi Yan was fast asleep and was not woken up.
He Ziyan actually uses such cute emojis!
Jiang Luo: [No cutesy acting allowed.]
He Ziyan sent another emoji, a cat's face with its eyes enlarged to create a cartoon effect, and the words "【Acting Cute】" floating above its head.
It's clear that He Ziyan really loves kittens.
Jiang Luo felt a sense of relief and comfort after talking with Ni Xiao, and yawned a few minutes after lying down.
Sleepiness washed over me again.
She no longer felt anxious about those terrible upheavals, and her heart became more open.
Fighting off her sleepiness, she texted: "I'm going to sleep. You should go to sleep early too, otherwise, before you can even pull out my hair, yours will all fall out first."
He Ziyan: [Already lying down.]
Jiang Luo: [Good night.]
He Ziyan: [Goodnight, Luo Luo.]
That night, Jiang Luo was neither frightened by the overwhelming insults nor saddened by what Xu Jingyan had done.
She felt full of power, enough to overcome anything.
I slept without any dreams.
The next day, Jiang Luo was woken up by being pushed.
