The public relations department of the Lai Group worked overtime for more than half a month, keeping a close eye on online public opinion and making public relations preparations.
Reporters in H City couldn't find Fangqi and started the topic #Looking for Little Fangqi#. Although they knew about it, they had not received any notification or instructions from their superiors, so they remained on hold for the time being.
However, no one would have expected that someone would make a fuss about Xiao Fangqi's grandmother's affairs. After several big V marketing accounts followed suit and reposted the rumor, the article became a hot topic.
The author uses a self-narrative tone to narrate the life of Grandma Fang Qi from her childhood to adulthood.
Su Ling opened Weibo, clicked on the hot search, and quickly browsed the rumor article. After reading it, he cursed.
"What nonsense!"
The article states that Fang Qi's grandmother was once an excellent student at XX High School in H City. Her parents worked hard to raise her, and she became the top scorer in the college entrance examination that year and was admitted to the Finance Department of S University. She should have had a bright future, but she had promiscuous relationships with men and women in college, often went to bars and other improper places, and got pregnant unexpectedly in her sophomore year. She was persuaded to drop out by the college. After returning to H City, her parents were ashamed and kicked her out of the house and broke off their relationship.
Just seeing this, Su Ling was furious and wanted to find out who wrote the article and give him a good beating.
The content below is even more disgusting.
For example, Grandma Fang Qi raised her son alone and sold her body to earn a living; Mother Fang Qi was an orphan, and she found a child bride for her son. The malice was so full that it almost overflowed the screen.
The media loved the victim-blaming theory and forwarded it in droves to create topics. Some netizens who could not distinguish right from wrong were led by the nose by the media and made comments that were disgustingly vicious. Some even whitewashed Zhang Man and felt that Xiao Fangqi deserved the abuse.
Gossip can melt gold, but accumulated corruption can destroy bones.
Su Ling put down his phone, breathing rapidly, and clutched tightly onto Lu Feng's collar.
"The culprit cannot be let off!"
Lu Feng hugged him, his eyes were cold and his aura was domineering.
"No one can escape."
The counterattack by the Lai Group was swift. After seven or eight hours of public opinion fermenting, a topic suddenly became a hot search.
#Loving you is the happiness of my life#
Such a cliché topic occupied the front row of hot searches. Many netizens were eager to click in to complain, but they were surprised to find that the topic was raised by the official blog of a famous financial magazine in S City.
Financial magazines don’t seem to have anything to do with love, right?
The sudden release of an emotional article sparked the curiosity of netizens, especially since the cover of the article was a picture that embodied the spirit of the times.
In the picture, a youthful couple snuggles together, their eyes sparkling with love for each other.
Sharp-eyed netizens discovered that the man in the picture looked like the current president of the Lai Group.
[Is this a mistake? Who photoshopped this picture? My husband, my idol, was photoshopped here! ]
[Shameless! Is Financial Magazine courting death? ]
[If you look closely, this person looks a little different from the general. ]
【I am much younger.】
【Maybe it's a photo of Mr. Luo from the past.】
[Isn’t this a copyright infringement? How could a company as big as S City Financial Magazine make such a mistake? ]
[Who is the woman in the picture? Get away! You are not allowed to lean on my idol boyfriend! ]
[No matter what, anyone who messes with my man will die! From today on, I will be the long-term hater of the financial magazine! ]
Netizens clicked on the long Weibo post with a variety of emotions.
"…She has loved reading since she was a child. As long as she gets a book, she can read quietly for hours. To her, there is a magical world in books. As long as she immerses herself in it, she can embark on a wonderful journey. Even boring textbooks are enjoyable for her to read."
"She had top grades and was admitted to her ideal university. On her first day, she went to the library with a sincere heart and saw tens of thousands of books. She was so happy that she jumped for joy like a child."
"After school started, she would go to the library whenever she had free time, find a quiet spot, and read books voraciously."
"At some point, she noticed that there was a boy who always sat at the same table with her, and his attentiveness was exactly the same as hers."
"Day after day, from freshman to sophomore year, they became the most tacit 'deskmates'. Even though they hardly talked to each other, they saw appreciation in each other's eyes."
Netizens thought it would be a passionate love story, but it started out plain and simple, with just two nerds reading books in a library.
What's there to write about?
It is indeed a financial magazine, the writing is dry and unattractive.
"That day, she sat in her old seat as usual. The boy came and sat opposite her. He was not reading, but just staring at her quietly. She felt uncomfortable being stared at, so she looked up and inquired."
"The boy said: Do you want to date?"
Netizens stared.
You are indeed a nerd. Aren’t you afraid that girls will reject you if you are so direct?
"She looked at the boy sincerely and nodded: Okay."
Netizen: …
Even nerds can have girlfriends, jealousy drives people apart!
The following plot is nothing more than confirming a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. The two continue to live a boring study life, meeting in the library, sometimes reading their own books, sometimes discussing topics, and sometimes doing homework. They study very attentively, without the romance that a couple should have.
The only time we had close contact was on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The two finally went out of school for a date like a normal couple and watched the fireworks on the river. It was too late, so they stayed in a hotel for the night.
Although the author wrote the process very briefly, netizens were very satisfied after reading it. It is not easy to find a little sugar in boring text.
When netizens thought the story was going to develop in the direction of a normal love story, there was a sudden turn of events.
The boy is dead!
Yes, you read that correctly.
The boy died in a car accident!
Ahhh——
Have financial magazines finally learned how to write sensational articles?
Before they even got to enjoy the benefits, they actually ended up killing the male lead. Is this even a human being?
Netizens read on angrily, as the whole story went in a bloody direction and never turned back.
The girl watched the boy's funeral from a distance and did not disturb the boy's sad family. She went back to school and continued her studies. A month later, she found out that she was pregnant.
If it were someone else, they might try their best to have an abortion without telling anyone.
The girl didn't do that.
She went home during the holidays and told her parents that she wanted to give birth to the child. Her parents were furious and firmly disagreed. They asked her to choose between having an abortion or breaking off the relationship.
The girl chose the latter.
Leaving the city and living alone in the town, the girl found a job as a typist, earning a meager living expenses, and gave birth to a baby boy eight months later.
In order to take care of her child, she didn't even take a confinement period. She took translation work online day and night, which caused her to fall ill.
Many netizens thought the girl was stupid, while others were moved by her persistence.
With her own efforts, the girl's life became better and better, and her son grew up healthily. She sponsored an orphan whose parents had both passed away, and under her care, the two children were admitted to University B together.
As time went by, the two children fell in love, got married during college, gave birth to a lovely boy, and the family lived a happy life.
Seeing this, netizens suspiciously felt that the plot was somewhat familiar.
Sure enough, the following text verified their thoughts.
The girl, who had become a grandmother, died of illness at the age of 45. Her son and daughter-in-law died in a car accident, leaving behind a five-year-old grandson who was alone and helpless.
If you still can't tell who this story is about, then you netizens can be damned.
This is basically the story of Grandma Fang Qi!
However, due to preconceived notions, many netizens started to curse and swear like crazy.
[Whitewashing article! This is a blatant whitewashing! ]
[Isn’t it funny? They fell in love while reading a book together in the library? 】
[I don't deny that their family died tragically, but if they have character problems, they have character problems. Maybe it's retribution.]
[If the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be crooked. The child inherited the grandmother's genes, and he will not be much better when he grows up. ]
[The financial magazine in City S has really fallen, and actually accepted money to write whitewashing articles. ]
[If you can’t make up a story, don’t do it. It’s too ugly. ]
【Has the financial magazine been cursed? 】
Not only did netizens mock it, but even peers followed suit, with the topic #S市財經雜誌落下神壇# directly appearing on the hot search list.
Faced with a torrential downpour of negative reviews, the financial magazine remained steady, updating its Weibo at a leisurely pace, using the topic #Loving you is my lifelong happiness# and publishing an interview video.
[S City Financial Magazine: We met in the library - [Interview video] from 27 years ago]
Netizens clicked on the video with a provocative mood.
Perhaps due to the long time it took, the video clarity is average, but it is enough for netizens to see the picture clearly.
[Huh? Huh? I'm a little confused! ]
[He is my idol husband, right? ]
[I am too exhausted to complain anymore. What on earth are they thinking? They are dragging my idol husband into this situation. Aren’t they afraid of being sued by the Lai Group?]
【Financial magazines are going further and further down the road of self-destruction. 点砟.jpg】
A row of confused comments flashed across the video screen, all asking who this person was. As the reporter asked the question, the answer was soon revealed.
Reporter: "Thank you very much, Mr. Xuan, for accepting the interview with Financial Magazine."
Young man: “Hello.”
[Lui Xuan? Who is Lui Xuan? Isn’t he the current president of Lui Group? ]
【The current president is called Lu Feng. 】
[I heard that the reason why the financial magazine has been so popular for so long is because they can always get interviews with every "CEO" of the Rui Group.]
As the video played, Xuan Lie answered questions with reporters, and netizens finally confirmed that this Xuan Lie was the son of the previous President Lie and the brother of the current President Lie.
strangeness?
Why did the position of the head of the Lue Group end up being inherited by the younger brother? Where did the older brother go?
Halfway through the video, the reporter jokingly asked, "Does Mr. Rui have a girlfriend now?"
Xuan: “Yes.”
He didn't talk much and answered questions very strictly. The reporter didn't expect that he would admit it. He was stunned for a moment, but quickly adjusted his expression.
Reporter: "Are we lucky enough to know how Mr. Rui and his girlfriend met?"
The corners of Xuan's mouth seemed to curl up, and a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes.
"We met in the library. We sat at the same table and read books for two semesters without talking to each other. I really liked the feeling of being with her, so I took the initiative to ask her out."
The reporter was surprised: "Ah? You guys sat at the same table for two semesters and you don't talk to each other?"
Xuan: "Yes. So when I proposed to date her, I thought I would be rejected."
On the screen, a row of post-production subtitles appeared: The top student’s thinking circuits are different from others.
[Uh, where have I seen this plot before? ]
【Seen +1】
[I have a bad feeling...]
Reporter: "Did she refuse?"
Xuan: "No, she agreed."
Reporter: "Really? So simple?"
Xuan: "Yes. We are very satisfied with each other and have a great time together."
Reporter: "Well, it's so surprising. But the ordinary life is the real life! I wish you and your girlfriend live in harmony and happiness forever."
Xuan: "Thank you."
This is the end of the topic about his girlfriend. The following interviews are all related to the Lai Group, such as what plans he has for the future after inheriting the family business.
However, this short paragraph alone is enough to stimulate netizens' wild imagination.
Someone put the photo on the cover of the "whitewashing article" and the screenshot of Lu Xuan in the video side by side, and then underlined a paragraph of text from the "whitewashing article". Netizens were shocked to find that Xiao Fangqi's grandmother = Lu Xuan's girlfriend!
Soon after, some bloggers with status and position who were recognized as awesome people retweeted these two microblog posts from the financial magazine.
【After 27 years, I met my old classmates again. I missed them so much. 】
[Do you still remember our agreement? Ruixuan——]
[I never thought that Fang would drop out of school like this. Sigh, things are unpredictable.]
[If anyone spreads rumors about my junior, I will be the first to report him! ]
[Are you Junior Fang and Senior Lu? They used to be a couple at S University and they were both top students! ]
Netizens counted them one by one and found that there were 20 of them, basically senior executives of large companies, financial giants, and influential figures. Their positions confirmed the authenticity of the two microblogs of the financial magazine.
The public relations department of the Lai Group struck while the iron was hot, guided public opinion, and successfully turned the situation around. Netizens' comments all changed in style.
[Oh my god! This reversal is incredible! Fang Qi's grandmother is actually related to a wealthy family! ]
[Who can guarantee that Xiao Fangqi's father is Lu Xuan's son? ]
[I think the financial magazine has pictures and videos, which is much more convincing than the previous article. ]
[A wealthy family like the Lai family, which has a history of over a hundred years, must be careful about its reputation and would not take the initiative to get involved in the shit. Therefore, the previous article that slandered Grandma Fang Qi was a rumor and slander! ]
[I think these alone don’t prove anything. If possible, let the current CEO come out and say a few words! ]
The financial magazine responded to the request and posted a third Weibo.
【Welcome to the live broadcast room of the financial magazine: Interview with the president and husband of the Laishi Group. 】
