Jiang Chuanzi, a warm-hearted citizen
Let's go back to the beginning of Tang Yue's video, right after it was posted.
After Xiao Tianqi sent the lawyer's letter, Tang Yue updated the video. He instinctively felt uneasy, but according to Xiao Tianqi's plan, Tang Yue should have given in.
There was simply no room for struggle left.
At most, Tang Yue would just try to embellish her own fate, preventing things from ending up so badly.
However, as a successful person, Xiao Tianqi also considers the worst-case scenario. But the worst-case scenario is that Tang Yue turns the tables.
To reiterate, what he and Bohu Technology Co., Ltd. did was not illegal; they have already taken remedial measures.
As for morality, let it be attacked if it gets attacked. How much money can morality buy? For a businessman like him, the profit in hand is the most important thing.
Which entrepreneur hasn't done something unethical these days?
It doesn't matter if netizens keep criticizing us, since Bohu Technology Co., Ltd. hasn't gone public yet, so there's no need to worry about the stock price or anything; it won't cost us anything.
If the company were listed on the stock exchange, he wouldn't need to be so assertive; he could simply apologize and offer financial compensation.
If something can be solved with money, then it's not a problem.
Seeing Tang Yue still able to send videos, and the feeling that things were spiraling out of control, made Xiao Tianqi very unhappy. She had thought that someone with a broken kneecap could actually stand up again?
Xiao Tianqi's first reaction was not fear, but annoyance.
He patiently watched the video, and then... his first reaction wasn't panic; he had considered the worst-case scenario.
I'm just confused.
Why were the bribed employees turned against their cause?
I don't understand. With so much money, how could they not keep quiet? Or is Tang Yue just too good at using persuasive language?
Xiao Tianqi hadn't considered the fact that "it's clear that the employees have been harboring a lot of resentment." With a sullen face, he still had no intention of letting go of Tang Yue's matter.
His company lost, that's fine.
but--
The online trolls still had some money left over from their previous purchases, so they decided to let them harass Tang Yue with endless phone calls, private messages, and text messages.
Since the money has already been given out, I might as well spend it all.
Young people who act recklessly will have to pay the price.
Even if you win, the victor has to pay a price; no one in this world can win easily.
The consensus among entrepreneurs is that anyone who exposes the unspoken rules of the workplace must be punished as a warning to others.
Otherwise, anyone could expose whether the workplace can remain stable, and whether the company still needs management.
Xiao Tianqi realized that he was not venting his personal emotions, but rather considering the bigger picture.
[Anonymous User: Hi, since things have come to this, and I still have some money left, could you please change it to the most aggressive plan?]
The online trolls who are usually online in real time and reply instantly are suddenly not working now.
Xiao Tianqi frowned, waited for another two minutes, and when she looked at the chat page again, the other person's avatar had turned gray.
So unprofessional?
Xiao Tianqi silently added this group of online trolls to his blacklist in his mind. What kind of people did that old fox Bao De recommend?
Having suffered setbacks on both fronts, "The Survival Diary of Contemporary Working People" has nurtured a master of manipulation, originally intended to undermine the show, but unexpectedly it has helped the other side reach new heights.
On Tang Yue's side, even an ordinary person with no connections or background couldn't be suppressed.
Xiao Tianqi was even more annoyed.
His life had been going smoothly for several years, so this was a rare time for him to be down. He could only try to think positively, at least he had a safety net and no one could find evidence of him violating labor laws.
At the same time, Xiao Tianqi also needs to review this matter to see if employee management needs to be strengthened, and those employees who betrayed him need to be properly "disciplined" and "educated".
The moment we relaxed our guard, something like what happened with Tang Yue occurred.
If management had been stricter in normal times, instilling fear in employees like Tang Yue and establishing authority, things wouldn't have escalated to this point.
The blame should first be placed on the HR department, and then on the public relations department—this month's bonus can be reduced again, which will make up for the shortfall in hiring online trolls.
Xiao Tianqi gently touched the stubble on his chin, then glanced at the chat interface again; there was still no reply from the other end.
Just then, there was a knock on his office door.
"Enter."
No sooner had Xiao Tianqi finished speaking than the director of the public relations department burst through the door, looking flustered: "President Xiao, something's happened! Something's happened!"
Xiao Tianqi's expression hardened, sensing the urgency of the matter. Instead of rambling on as usual or giving a lecture on "not showing one's emotions," he said, "What happened? Just tell me."
Could it be... that someone lacked martial ethics and sold him out?
“We… well, you should look online. I can’t explain it clearly in just a few words.” The director turned the laptop around so Xiao Tianqi could see the hot news up close.
That was a news report about internet rectification and the crackdown on organized crime.
His heart skipped a beat... He was definitely going to be detained, and he might even be sentenced to prison?
The news started with the same old story:
—In recent years, the number of Chinese netizens has exploded, which has also given rise to a group of online trolls. They have no principles or distinction between good and evil. As long as the money is there, they will post extensively on the Internet for the funders, confuse the public, have a huge negative impact, and endanger network security.
Xiao Tianqi belatedly realized that the government had issued a policy at the beginning of this year, saying that it would crack down on this criminal gang.
At the time, he thought it was just a vanity project, nothing more than empty talk.
Because he had been following that policy for a while but hadn't seen any concrete action taken.
I never expected to find myself here.
Scroll down further, and you'll find the specific legal basis...
—According to Article 246, Paragraph 1 of the Criminal Law: Anyone who publicly insults another person by violence or other means, or fabricates facts to defame another person, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention, public surveillance or deprivation of political rights if the circumstances are serious.
—In 2014, the Supreme People's Court issued provisions on several issues concerning the application of the internet in civil disputes involving infringement of personal rights through information networks. The provisions clarified that: if someone hires, organizes, instigates, or assists others in publishing or forwarding information online, thereby infringing upon the personal rights of others, and the injured party requests the perpetrator to bear joint liability, the people's court shall support such a request.
Xiao Tianqi tried her best to remain calm and keep reading. Goodness, she finally saw a real case, the one that had just been executed.
—The cyber security department of the public security bureau in X province has determined that Wu Moumou's gang registered a cultural company and built a paid online commentary control platform integrating "demand, order taking, and post deletion." Under the guise of public opinion monitoring and negative suppression, they carried out criminal activities such as paid commentary control, attacks, and manipulating online public opinion, with a total amount involved exceeding 2 million yuan. Currently, Wu Moumou and two others have been detained by the local public security authorities in accordance with the law.
The police also released several recent transactions with Wu, without completely blurring them out, which was practically a clear indication to the customers who would soon face retribution.
These clients share a common characteristic: they offer high salaries, and their demands are often close to the edge of criminal law.
After reading the entire news article, Xiao Tianqi's legs went weak, and she sat back in her boss's chair, immediately wanting to retract the message she had just sent about the meal deal.
As it turns out, this damn software doesn't support sending messages two minutes later.
Everyone has hired online trolls before, so why is it that when it comes to me, I'm the unlucky one who gets caught?
According to what this news article describes...
If Tang Yue insists, there's a high probability he'll end up in jail and have to work for the government.
Although Xiao Tianqi once harbored a beautiful vision of joining the civil service when he was young, he is now middle-aged.
This isn't the way to join the ranks of those who get a government job!
He is a successful entrepreneur.
The public relations director was also panicking. He was just doing what the boss asked. If the news wasn't exaggerated, he would be held jointly liable (as an accomplice) and would probably end up in jail.
"Mr. Xiao, Mr. Xiao, what should we do?"
The director called out to Xiao Tianqi two or three times before she came to her senses.
Xiao Tianqi glanced at the director's young face and felt a little more at ease: "It's alright, don't worry, the company will definitely take care of you."
The scapegoat has already been identified.
The next step is to find two lawyers, one highly skilled and one of average skill...
The director was extremely flustered, but seeing Xiao Tianqi so calm, he was gradually calmed down as well. He gratefully bowed and thanked him, saying, "Thank you, Director Xiao!"
He lowered his head, so he couldn't see the cold expression on Xiao Tianqi's face.
Xiao Tianqi couldn't see the emotions in the director's lowered eyes.
In short, both of them had ulterior motives.
The simple-minded count, a magician, is learning from Jiang Chuan, a human skilled in scheming and intrigue.
How to achieve maximum effect with minimal effort, and to take punitive action when necessary.
He recorded the entire story on a parchment scroll, and even added the proper noun "self-inflicted harm." In Chinese parlance, it would be equivalent to "lifting a stone to drop it on one's own foot" or "digging a hole to bury oneself."
As a cat that champions good and punishes evil, the Earl was naturally happy to see such an ending.
Xiao Tianqi looked anxious and uneasy, not knowing when the Sword of Damocles would fall and smash everything he currently possessed to pieces.
Criminals like this who show no remorse should be sent to jail.
He should undergo a proper labor reform.
"That was a beautiful finish. Your professional skills are getting better and better." The magician praised generously, wondering how the Bureau would react this time.
"It's not over yet, there's still more to be done." Jiang Chuan tilted his head, stared at the screen for a moment, and then rejected the Earl's suggestion of opening champagne at the halfway point.
A good deed that isn't fully accomplished can't be considered a good deed.
After all, you should see things through to the end.
From the magic side, one can see Jiang Chuan's slightly lowered eyes, which contain beautiful magic circle patterns, quite different from when he first entered the pupil.
Are they more sophisticated patterns with a Chinese aesthetic?
His eyes are beautiful.
Among humans, especially men, there is a slightly gentle eye shape, but the outer corner of the eye is slightly upturned.
Apart from his eyes, the other four features combine to create a striking, somewhat aggressive look. Coupled with his typically expressionless demeanor, he exudes a sculpted, elite aura.
His words are exceptionally convincing.
The count shifted his curiosity away from the engraved patterns that automatically changed shape according to the terrain, and was somewhat puzzled by Jiang Chuan's conclusion. Was there anything else that needed to be done?
He looked up at Jiang Chuan—watching the sunrise at the beach last time had brought about a great change in the Earl, and now he was being held by Jiang Chuan… well, he could accept being held by a human male.
The main reason is that Jiang Chuan's magic is just too alluring; it's hard not to stick to him.
This is the legendary process of high concentration permeating into low concentration, achieving a balance between the two ends.
The count believed that as long as he applied enough, he would one day become an all-around magician like him.
With such a high concentration of magical effects, Jiang Chuan's face looks like it's wearing a filter.
Due to the Earl's angle, he couldn't see the upper half of Jiang Chuan's face, but he knew that this human's lips were also beautiful, well-shaped, and a healthy color.
"It's not over with Tang Yue yet," Jiang Chuan explained calmly. "We haven't settled things with Bohu either."
The Earl looked at the observer's perspective, now that the dust had settled, and still didn't quite understand what Jiang Chuan was up to.
"However, there's no rush. Let's go back first; it's time to go home." Jiang Chuan glanced at the time and decisively ended his work for the evening.
It's 7:59 now. I'll teleport home exactly at 8 o'clock.
Jiang Chuan felt pleased with his precise timing, while countless netizens also felt extremely pleased about the unexpected incident involving Bohu Company in front of their mobile phone screens.
If I don't time it right, I'll just adjust the odometer myself, hmph—Jiang Chuan.
This new policy regarding the crackdown on online trolls was fabricated by me, but the content in the "—" is believable.
Also, I'll be putting on clips tomorrow, so the update time will be moved to 11:30 PM.
Thank you everyone for subscribing and supporting me! Let's work together to get a good ranking on the platform—if we reach that, I'll add an extra chapter! (Probably) (Weak)
