Because Linglong Club has received a lot of attention online these past few days, countless viewers flocked to the site immediately after Chen Zhe started his broadcast.
These people all came to curse Chen Zhe, calling him a pimp, a scumbag, a gigolo, a man from a poor background, and Ximen Zhe...
There are many offensive words used in the live stream, and it's very difficult to block them because these talented netizens often use homophones, and they never repeat themselves when they curse.
Backstage in the live stream, Yang Yun felt extremely nervous after seeing those words.
"So many people are criticizing him, no one knows why he started the live stream?"
"Manager Yang, you don't need to worry. President Chen has his reasons for choosing to start the broadcast. We just need to follow his instructions," Wu Yuanyuan said.
"How can you expect me to feel at ease? These netizens are crazy. When they start cursing, even a god can't stop them. Choosing to go live and explain at this critical moment is no different from courting death."
"Manager Yang, just listen to Manager Wu. We should trust General Manager Chen."
Mei Xiaoting felt that Chen Zhe wouldn't fight a battle unprepared, and his decision to start broadcasting must have its reasons.
"Manager Mei, how can you say that? Don't you care about Linglong Club? We don't have many chances. We should plan for the long term."
"Manager Yang, why are you saying this to me? Of course I care about Linglong Club. It's you, on the other hand, whom I advised against doing, but you insisted on going your own way..."
"Mei Xiaoting, do you think I did this on purpose? I'm doing this for the company's good; I want the company to make more money..."
"There's no such thing as a free lunch. Sister Hu told us this when she was still around. Didn't you listen?"
"you……"
"Alright, alright!"
Lin Meiyu interrupted their argument.
"What kind of behavior is this, with one or two of them? Is this the time for infighting?"
Lin Meiyu's existence is quite special. Although she also serves as the manager of a branch store, she mostly does her own thing. When Hu Ling was still around, she was almost equal to Hu Ling in status, so the managers respected her a lot.
"Manager Yang, Manager Mei and Manager Wu are right. Choosing to do a live broadcast was General Manager Chen's decision. All we can do is follow his arrangements and not have too many opinions."
"But……"
"There are no 'buts,' I'll just follow your instructions."
Lin Meiyu cut her off, and the other managers no longer dared to stand with Yang Yun. They used to admire Yang Yun, after all, when Hu Ling was still around, Yang Yun was their leader. This time, when signing the cooperation agreement, they also chose to listen to Yang Yun. But they didn't expect such a big thing to happen, which completely shattered Yang Yun's prestige.
Feeling ostracized by everyone, Yang Yun could only grit her teeth and keep quiet.
All she can do now is pray that the live stream will go smoothly and that Chen Zhe can salvage some of the reputation of Linglong Club.
...
Chen Zhe sat there very relaxed in the live broadcast room, with three large characters written on the blackboard behind him: "I am guilty!"
The viewers in the live stream naturally assumed that this was a self-criticism session for him.
[Since you know you're guilty, then kneel down and talk. This nonchalant attitude is disgusting.]
[Who knows? I've always disliked this guy, and now he's finally been exposed. He was so young to become the president of Linglong Club; there must be a lot of shady dealings behind it.]
[That bastard! My heart aches just thinking about all those beautiful live streamers who fell victim to his cruelty. Damn it!]
[My Zixuan, my Lili! My Xiaomeng, my Qianqian, my Xiaohong... You're all so foolish! How could you accept such unspoken rules?]
[What's the meaning of this pretty boy sitting here for so long without saying a word? Is he trying to fool us?]
[If you're guilty, apologize quickly, then go to jail and serve your time. Don't waste everyone's time!!]
...
The comments in the live stream were increasingly vicious, but Chen Zhe didn't pay any attention to them.
"Our Linglong Club has been getting a lot of attention lately. I just checked the number of people online, and wow, over 6 million! Everyone is really enthusiastic..."
[It has nothing to do with enthusiasm, I'm just here to see you suffer (doge emoji)]
[This idiot thinks we're here to support him, hahaha.]
[How can someone with this level of intelligence be a CEO? My second uncle could talk a better game than him.]
[Please find someone else quickly, I really don't want to see him again.]
"Hehe, everyone, don't be impatient. I won't take up too much of your time. I'm just hosting this live stream today. I'm not the one who will actually be talking later."
[If it wasn't you? Then who was it?]
[Oh right? Who's broadcasting? Is it my Honghong?]
[Let my Zixuan come!!! Get as far away from me as you can.]
"The main character in this segment isn't me, nor is it our host; it's some friends I've invited..."
[Stop beating around the bush, just say what you want to say!!]
[Yeah, stop teasing me, I have to go to work soon.]
"Alright, then I won't waste any more words. Today I've invited the four district heads of Donghai City to join us. Let's give them a round of applause."
After Chen Zhe finished speaking, Wan Ya, who was backstage, walked up first with a smile on her face.
She waved to the viewers in the live stream; "Hello everyone! I am Wan Ya, the district head of Donghai City's East District. It's a pleasure to meet you all."
After she finished introducing herself, Guan Mao, Shen Changshan, and Mo Wei, who were behind her, also introduced themselves one by one.
Seeing this scene.
The viewers in all the live streams were in an uproar. They never expected it to turn out like this, and almost instantly, all the vicious comments online disappeared.
On the other side of Donghai City, in Shen Xingang's office at Shengli Group, Guan Yingjie and his colleagues frowned upon seeing the four district chiefs appear.
How did they get up there?
...
Wan Ya smiled as she faced the live stream audience.
"Friends, we have read many of your comments backstage. We found that you have a lot of misunderstandings about Mr. Chen. In fact, this live broadcast today was not initiated by Mr. Chen. It was the four of us who requested Mr. Chen to do it."
The moment these words were spoken, the live stream chat exploded.
This live stream wasn't even organized by Chen Zhe, but by four district chiefs? Has Chen Zhe's background become this powerful?
Is the collusion between officials and businessmen really that blatant?
[District Chief Wan, I have great respect for you, but why did you get involved in this mess? What Chen Zhe has done is outrageous and plain for all to see. He forces these girls to sell their dignity, creating a very negative social atmosphere. Why do you still support him?]
[I'm speechless. A district head of the East District actually stands up for someone like this! Donghai City has truly opened my eyes!]
...
There were no insults in the comments, but there was a lot of sarcasm.
Everyone believes this is a case of collusion between officials and businessmen, showing a lack of concern for the people.
But Wan Ya's next sentence completely stunned them.
"The reason we asked Mr. Chen to start the broadcast is to thank him and the female anchors at Linglong Club. They have made great contributions to the development of Donghai City, not only in terms of economic contributions but also in charitable assistance. A month ago, Mr. Chen donated 100 million yuan in relief funds to the Donghai City Disabled Children's Association in his personal capacity and donated 50 million yuan worth of medical equipment in the name of Linglong Club. The female anchors are also very kind-hearted. They have signed agreements with welfare organizations to support impoverished students. A portion of their monthly income is given to those impoverished students to maintain their living expenses and support their studies. They are so kind and contribute so much to social development. So this time, we can't stand seeing them being misunderstood by many people and we want to speak out for them."
[Holy crap? What did I just hear? They did charity?]
[When did this happen? How come I don't know about it and there's no news about it?]
[Was this intentional? They saw a scandal coming out, so they're doing charity work to cover it up? Classic tactic!!!]
[Actually, I think it's alright. Regardless of their initial intentions, if they truly did something beneficial for society, then it's a good deed.]
[What a coincidence!]
...
Many people in the live stream questioned whether their charity was intentional, a cover-up for a scandal. However, some argued that if one truly does charity, the initial intention is irrelevant, since charity, in a sense, is judged by actions, not intentions.
After the district heads finished speaking, Chen Zhe arranged for several anchors to take the stage.
After these streamers came on stage, they started talking about their tragic backstories. Although this tactic was cliché, it was indeed effective, and many people began to sympathize with them.
College students becoming massage girls is a sign of moral decay.
The massage girl gave up her university student status to support her family; that's admirable.
Reversing the order will yield significantly different results.
Especially when Xiao Dingdong recounted her background in a halting voice, the entire live stream fell silent.
At this point, no one in the live stream dared to utter any malicious words, because anyone who dared to insult this hardworking disabled girl would be despised by everyone.
After those broadcasters finished speaking.
Chen Zhe brought the live stream to a close: "I am guilty. My guilt lies in providing these impoverished girls with such a platform, making them famous, subjecting them to public attacks, and failing to protect them. I am guilty. I knew perfectly well that their income was used to support their families, yet I stubbornly insisted that they donate a portion of their earnings to charity. I am guilty. Some of these girls could have married into wealthy families, but I prevented it. I hindered their happiness, forcing them to stay in my company and work for me. I am a sinner. I accept all the criticism you all have for me today, but I implore you all, I implore you all to have some compassion for these girls. They are not young, only in their early twenties. They need to pursue their own happiness in the future, and certain malicious words will hurt them..."
Chen Zhe choked up when he said this.
He couldn't continue speaking, so he threw the microphone aside, took a deep breath, and then knelt down.
"Please, everyone!!"
