Just as the Sishi Group was being hotly discussed across the internet, CCTV's official Weibo account suddenly announced that the Sishi Group had become a sponsor of this year's Spring Festival Gala!
This news would be quite normal at this time of year; CCTV usually announces its major sponsors around this time every year.
Netizens wouldn't be as excited as they are now; at most, they would just exclaim, "The Si Group is really rich!"
But at this critical juncture, it is of extraordinary significance.
To the general public, it looked like CCTV couldn't stand Blue Sky TV anymore and stepped in to uphold justice.
[Haha, isn't CCTV's move basically saying, "Who do you think you are, Blue Sky TV, daring to mess with a sponsor I've selected?"]
[Seeing Blue Sky TV's hypocritical statement, shifting all the blame to contract workers and completely shirking responsibility, it's infuriating! CCTV had to step in!]
[Entities like Blue Sky TV, which corrupt online public opinion and exploit netizens' sympathy and sense of justice, should be severely punished and dealt with!]
The official Weibo account of CCTV posted a picture featuring Sishi Group's limited-edition Spring Festival dessert along with the Spring Festival Gala logo. The product is festive and grand, with a stunning appearance that easily makes people want to buy it.
Sales of 723 Convenience Store's Lunar New Year limited edition series have reached new heights, with major chain stores across the country selling out instantly!
[Si's Group, a sponsor vetted by CCTV, has impeccable credentials and no issues!]
[Thankfully, I stayed calm and waited, and sure enough, there was a twist! By the way, this dessert from 723 Convenience Store is both beautiful and delicious; I highly recommend it!]
[Old brands are still the most reliable. Sugie Group is willing to resort to underhanded tactics and use celebrities with questionable pasts; I really can't trust their products.]

The president's office of the Sugie Group.
A group of people were severely reprimanded by President Jiang Shen, who was leaning back in a leather sofa chair.
"You bunch of useless trash!"
Jiang Shen grabbed an ashtray from the desk and threw it at one of them.
No one dared to dodge. The unlucky person who was hit took the blow hard, his forehead bleeding, his head swaying and he fell down. Two burly men in black came in and dragged him out.
Others, however, were not surprised.
"We've been thoroughly outmaneuvered by the Si Group!" Jiang Shen slammed his fist on the table in anger. "We're just stepping stones for their New Year's product line."
"Tell me, what are you all doing?!"
Everyone was resentful. They were just following the boss's orders, and now that something had gone wrong, the boss was taking his anger out on them.
No one dared to speak up, but Secretary Kuang, who stood next to Jiang Shen with a pointed face and monkey-like features, dared to say, "President, is there a problem with the source of these blueprints?"
Jiang Shen's eyes darkened, and he subconsciously said, "Impossible!"
He looked at the CCTV announcement that the Si Group was sponsoring the company and thought, "If the Si Group dares to touch the people I protect, they will definitely pay the price!"
Upon hearing this, Secretary Kuang whispered a few words in Jiang Shen's ear.
Jiang Shen's furrowed brows relaxed a little: "Let him handle it."

After the collapse of Dingliu Era, his interview video during the rehearsal of Blue Sky TV's gala also went viral online.
The reason is simple: the reporter asked all the questions about Ji Yuan's love life, while Ji Yuan was still trying to maintain a "fan-loving, straight man" persona during the interview. Looking at the interview now, it's a painful slap in the face.
Reporter Zhao: "Do you have an ideal type? Could you describe it with a few keywords?"
Ji Yuan: "My ideal type is my fans."
Reporter Zhao: "So, would you like a girl with short hair?"
Ji Yuan glanced at the short-haired reporter Zhao: "Reporter Zhao, I'm sorry, but I only love watches and I'm not interested in any specific women."
......
In addition, the interviewer's gaze towards Ji Yuan was far from innocent. All these factors combined to make the interview video go viral, and it was even edited and parodied by netizens.
[Turns out, even though Ji Yuan is a jerk, he's actually honest! His ideal type is really a fan, otherwise how come he and the fan site admin even have a child together?]
[I don't think this reporter's gaze towards Ji Yuan is innocent either; it's almost suggestive. Could she also be one of Ji Yuan's girlfriends, subtly showing off their affection on screen?]
[This reporter was a surprise guest on "City of Light"! I was wondering why she was a surprise guest; it wouldn't be surprising if her boyfriend was the top star Ji Yuan, given Ji Yuan's incredible connections and resources.]
That's right, the reporter who interviewed Dingliu Era was Zhao Jiao.
Zhao Jiao, who was browsing the comments section, was fully armed with a hat and mask.
She scrolled through her phone, pretending to be busy, and walked into the company with her head down, squeezing into the elevator. The people around her were all talking about the top celebrity's scandal.
"Did you guys watch the rehearsal interview of Epoch the night before last? It was hilarious. Now that I look at it, every single thing they said is a slap in the face."
"This interview video has garnered over ten million views across the internet."
"The reporter who interviewed Ji Yuan is really something else. Every sentence she said was a trap, and the way she looked at Ji Yuan was strange. Now netizens are wondering if she is having an affair with Ji Yuan."
When Zhao Jiao heard more and more people in the elevator joining in the gossip discussion, she quickly pulled her mask tighter around her face.
She said that Li Han wasn't angry at all for having her interview spot stolen, which meant she already knew that Ji Yuan would collapse. Zhao Jiao was seething with anger.
"Hey, is that reporter from our station? Our station sent a reporter to the Blue Sky TV rehearsal site the day before yesterday."
"It seems so, her name is Zhao Jiao?"
"As a reporter, I was infatuated with a top celebrity during an interview and asked him all sorts of questions about his love life. Now look what's happened, I'm stuck in this mess."
When the elevator arrived at the 16th floor, the press office area, Zhao Jiao quickly squeezed out.
Meanwhile, her photographer was already waiting at Zhao Jiao's workstation to start recording.
When Zhao Jiao saw the camera, she felt a little scared. She really didn't know how the netizens in the live broadcast room and the crazy Epoch fans would attack her.
She saw Li Han carrying coffee out of the tea room.
Zhao Jiao gritted her teeth, calming her anger. She squeezed out tears and walked up to Li Han with red eyes.
"Xiao Li, did you know in advance that Ji Yuan would collapse because of President Si's information, so you deliberately gave the spot to me?"
Zhao Jiao spoke, looking dejected and as if she had been deceived.
Li Han glanced at her, calmly took a sip of coffee, and said, "Wasn't it the team that arranged for Reporter Zhao to go in my place?"
“Right, team leader?” Li Han placed her hand on the back of the team leader’s chair.
The team leader was sweating profusely. "Yes, it was the team's decision. At that time, public opinion was unfavorable to you, so it was also to protect you."
"So how did you see that I did it on purpose?" Li Han stared at Zhao Jiao, wondering if she had realized that Zhao Jiao was trying to confront her and was resorting to her manipulative tactics again.
“Reporter Zhao, I remember you were all smiles when you replaced me.”
Zhao Jiao choked for a moment, then continued, "I'm happy because I have a sister who's a huge fan of Ji Yuan. She's been following him since his debut."
