Under Chu Li's instruction, the Weibo account "Say to Yuan Yue She" stopped posting various complaints and then @Yuan Yue She one by one in an attempt to seek justice.
They immediately identified an overall goal: in this matter, the one holding the ultimate sword to slay the dragon was Mr. Herman, and they must let Mr. Herman know about this and hold Yuanyue Society accountable.
"If you go find Herman now, Liang Chonglang might turn the tables on you," Zhu Chuan watched Chu Li enthusiastically directing these angry natural water soldiers to stop posting on Weibo and tagging Yuanyue Society, and stood behind her to give her advice, "Think about how to prevent Yuanyue Society from blaming the whole thing and saying that it was the "troublesome fans" who were causing trouble."
"I am also someone who crawled out of that wolf...dog den," Chu Li wrinkled his nose, "How could I not know Liang Chonglang's little tricks... At times like this, you only need to remember one thing: the fact that the person concerned witnessed it with his own eyes through a third channel is more shocking than being notified directly by others."
Zhuochuan frowned slightly: "...What do you mean? You want Herman to find out by himself? Yuanyue Society is so good at covering it up, so he will naturally find out that the daylily has gone cold."
Chu Li laughed and said, "So I want Yuanyue Society to be unable to hide it."
After all, I have been working in this industry for nearly three years.
Chu Li is very familiar with the publishing process of a book. On the other hand, she is also familiar with the process of a book being complained about.
Chu Li commanded the readers to attack the publishing houses first. Chu Li knew what Yuanyueshe was afraid of. They were not afraid of readers attacking them. They were thick-skinned and could play dead. However, Yuanyueshe was a book publishing company and only had a few cooperating publishing houses. If a publishing house felt that it was implicated by them and was no longer willing to grant them book numbers in the future, it would undoubtedly be like cutting off a leg for them...
Even if their legs weren't broken, it would still be like cutting off a piece of flesh from their bodies.
Chu Li asked them to stop attacking Yuanyue Publishing House and instead file a complaint against the publishing house, first to the provincial publishing bureau. If the provincial bureau did not accept the case, they would accuse the provincial publishing bureau of "shielding its subordinates" and then file a complaint directly online to the central government.
What is the reason for the complaint?
It is despicable for a publisher to try to add religious ideas that are not contained in a book with a huge first print run based on his personal thoughts!
This is a big deal.
It was like pressing on the G-spot of the Publishing House and poking at its heart.
So Chu Li instructed them to do this first. The readers had already formed a rights protection group. Once the order was issued, dozens or even hundreds of complaint letters flew to the Press and Publication Administration. The Press and Publication Administration was immediately confused. What was going on? So they temporarily suppressed the matter and went to the publishing house as soon as they got to work the next day.
The publishing house was also confused. I just issued a book number, why did thousands of people sign a joint complaint?
Then he turned around, full of anger and resentment, and went to find Yuanyue Society.
After contacting Yuanyue Publishing House, Yuanyue Publishing House was still trying to appease both sides and there was no movement... The poster of [Speak to Yuanyue Publishing House] was also a little anxious and asked Chu Li what to do at this time. Chu Li thought about it and asked them to call the editorial department of Yuanyue Publishing House directly -
Coincidentally, after the call was connected, the person who answered the phone was the girl from the front desk of Moonlight. She didn't even cover the phone, but yelled into it, "Axian, it's still about "The Last Whale of the Pacific". Can you come and answer the phone?" After a while, someone came to answer the phone. Of course, she didn't say that she was Axian looking for trouble, and directly used the "it's not me" method, saying that the editor in charge of "The Last Whale of the Pacific" was not in the editorial department now, and asked if there was anything he could help with, and she could help to pass on the message.
The girl who called was well prepared. She had a series of questions, including whether "The Last Whale of the Pacific" had been reviewed and tested.
Faced with such a pit, Ah Xian jumped into it without hesitation.
"Our book was sent to the Publishing House as soon as it was questioned and passed the quality inspection."
The recording of the phone call was finally sent to Chu Li. The first thing Chu Li heard was "Axian, can you come answer the phone?" He burst into laughter at first, and then told the girl who posted "Tell it to Yuanyue Society" to listen carefully to what the girl at the front desk said. Later, it was obviously Axian himself who answered the phone. Also, the quality inspection of the Press and Publication Administration could not be completed in such a short time. Axian was obviously lying.
That night, the recorded call was made into a video version. From the front desk girl's "Ah Xian, can you come to the phone?" to Ah Xian's lie that he was "not himself" after answering the phone, he was ridiculed by the almighty poster. Later, he lied continuously, claiming that "The Last Whale of the Pacific" had passed the quality inspection and asked everyone to stop making trouble. These words were ridiculed word by word.
The girl who posted [Say to Yuanyueshe] is really talented. She made a very interesting video. She turned an ordinary phone call into a funny video with various emoticons. The Weibo post was instantly forwarded to thousands of people, and the forwarded content was all -
“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”
As soon as the video was made, a copy was posted on Weibo and a copy was sent to the Press and Publication Administration. The Press and Publication Administration was immediately furious and immediately issued a press release, claiming that it was not aware of the content of "The Last Whale in the Pacific" that needed to be reviewed, that the review process was rigorous and strict, and that it had not yet received any review application from any relevant unit.
Instant slap in the face.
The official statement from the Press and Publication Administration was forwarded thousands of times.
The people who like to stir up trouble were delighted and posted another wave of @元月社, adding the caption: Look, there is a popping sound in the sky, whose face was hit like a pig's head!
…
the next day.
It’s the normal order of the Publishing House and the Yuanyue Publishing House.
This time, under the almost violent questioning from the publishing house, Yuanyue Publishing House finally couldn't stand it anymore.
According to Ah Xiang, Yuanyueshe didn’t even use their lunch break the next day and immediately held an emergency meeting. They had held emergency meetings for the past two days. The main idea of the meeting was that Yuanyueshe said, “Damn it! These readers don’t play by the rules. What should we do?”
Lao Liang was held down by the person in charge of the publishing house and was yelling at Fang Ming, saying that they would not be able to cooperate in the future unless this matter was resolved. When he said this, everyone was in a meeting and everyone in the conference room heard it...
The expression on Liang Chonglang's face at that time was very interesting.
At this point, Yuanyue Society finally realized that they couldn't pretend to be dead any longer. So Liang Chonglang hung up the phone and thought of a solution on the spot -
Ah Xiang: "The company is happily organizing a trip to the Maldives. The flight is the day after tomorrow. Everyone is eager to go out and have fun... This matter needs the best and fastest solution. Guess what it is? Find a scapegoat who is already a dead body to apologize and calm the public anger."
Chu Li was lying on the sofa hugging a cushion, with her feet tucked into Chu Chuan's arms, letting him cut her toenails. She was holding the phone like an old Buddha, turning on the speakerphone, and said lazily, "Hey, I knew it would be like this. Isn't this Liang Chonglang's old trick? Find a scapegoat to apologize, and then nothing else. The two of them just had a quarrel, and there was no loss at all. Isn't it nice?"
Ah Xiang: “Ga-ga-ga!”
Ah Xiang: "Who do you think is the corpse this time?"
Chu Li sneered: "If I were still here, it would definitely be me. The first time is unfamiliar, the second time is familiar. This time I'm not here, who else could it be? Of course, it would be Ah Xian who was strategically sacrificed first."
Ah Xiang: “You guessed it again.”
Chu Li: "But it must be Ah Xian, that's what I wrote in the script."
Ah Xiang laughed out loud on the other end of the phone, and then announced the answer: the scapegoat this time was not Chu Li, but naturally, it became Ah Xian who had already been hung on the wall.
…
About two hours after Ah Xiang hung up the phone, Ah Xian, who had pretended to be dead for many days, finally came out to apologize, and his words were quite aggrieved.
【@阿先: I am sorry for adding my personal opinions to the book. I know that this is quite negligent as an editor. I also know that this book does not belong to me, but to @晝川老師 and @沪斯頓·赫尔曼先生……
I'm really, really sorry.
I got carried away.
It’s just because I like Mr. Herman so much. Just like what was said in the screenshot of my private circle of friends, he was my favorite writer in middle school and remains my favorite writer till now... Being able to work on Mr. Herman’s book is an honor I never dreamed of.
I will not make such a mistake again in the future. I'm sorry. 】
The most amazing thing is that Ah Xian probably hoped that someone would say a few words to her, so she posted this apology using her own author Weibo account...
Just ten minutes after the post was published, there were still a bunch of fans who didn’t know the truth saying something:
"Support you no matter what";
"Some people are just looking for trouble";
"Ahhh, are you working on Herman's book? That's amazing";
"Someone must be jealous, don't worry about it"...
Fifteen minutes later, the natural navy of [Say to Yuanyueshe] Weibo arrived at the battlefield. When they saw the comments and condolences from readers under Ah Xian’s Weibo, they were immediately so angry that they couldn’t take care of themselves. Thousands of people rushed in instantly and trampled on these cute little comments——
"Fuck you, are you still feeling wronged?"
"You liar, your acting skills in the phone recording yesterday were first-rate. You still have the guts to come out and make a scene after being slapped in the face by the Publication Administration?"
"You've brought up a big topic. You've labeled Mr. Herman, a non-believer, as a religious guide. And you've cleared your name with just one sentence of 'I'm sorry'?!"
"The religious atmosphere in the country is tense right now. I don't believe there are any fans who really like Herman who would go to such lengths."
"Why am I jealous of you? Am I jealous that you are a shit-stirring stick..."
"Master, you are so shameless!"
At this point, a fierce battle has begun!
Ah Xian’s apology Weibo was quickly attacked or criticized, and the verbal battle was forwarded 20,000 times. The keyword "First, let’s talk about Herman" suddenly became one of the top ten hot searches on Weibo. So, when things got to this point, everyone in the domestic writing circle, whether they knew about this or not, as long as they were not blind or deaf, knew about it.
An hour later.
All major marketing Weibo accounts joined in the discussion, and Ah Xian’s apology Weibo post was forwarded over 50,000 times.
At that time, Chu Li was standing in the kitchen making mashed potatoes for her son. Zhu Chuan was watching with his mobile phone beside the kitchen counter. He read the Weibo comments to her and reported that it had been forwarded 55,000 times and ranked in the top three on Weibo, crushing Chen He's cheating topic by 666666...
Chu Li laughed as he talked to Mashed Potato: "Lao Liang must be so anxious that he's about to jump off a building. I knew he was going to push Ah Xian to play the role I played back then. I felt so wronged when I took the blame for the binding error of Little Gods!"
Zhao Chuan sneered. He had a deep memory of what happened at that time. He wrote down in his little notebook how wronged Chu Li felt and how many times he cried in private.
"At that time, I endured it and swallowed my anger because I was an editor, just a target without a concrete image. Readers can curse me if they want... But can Ah Xian be the same as me? She is an author herself. Can she bear this kind of grievance?"
Chu Li said as he scooped some mashed potatoes with the spoon in his hand and handed it to Zhu Chuan. Zhu Chuan bent over, took a bite, and smacked his lips: "Add some salt."
Chu Li: "...what salt should be added to your son's food?"
Zhuochuan: "Give me more, I want some too."
Chu Li: "Are you and your son addicted to fighting over food?"
Zhu Chuan changed the subject: "Well, first of all, you can't stand being wronged, and then what?"
Chu Li was also led by him: "She couldn't stand being wronged, and the resentment in her apology statement hit her face, but her brainless fans should also speak up for her, right? Then they started to quarrel..."
As Chu Li was speaking, Ah Xian posted another Weibo post:
【@阿先: If you have something to say, just say it. Don’t attack or curse my family, friends, or fans. Thank you.】
The moment the Weibo is posted.
Within five minutes, she was overwhelmed by the ridicule and abuse.
It's a living proof of that saying: she posted a Weibo post and received 5,000 comments, with more than 4,000 greetings to her ancestors.
Ah Xian was no pushover either. He got so angry that he rolled up his sleeves and started yelling at them, saying everything he could, including "If you have the ability, do it" and "You're not fucking qualified."
Chu Li knew it. Just like what she said before, Ah Xian was not like her. At worst, she would just quit. Why would she care about the life or death of Yuanyue Society?
Chu Li pointed at the Weibo interface on the phone in Chu Chuan's hand and said, "See, I was saying it, it's not enough for the fans to quarrel with her, she can't hold it back anymore."
"I've seen it for a long time. Ah Xian is someone who can't stand any injustice. I'm counting on Liang Chonglang to push her out. If it weren't for her, we wouldn't be able to blow up."
Chu Li raised her hand, tucked the hair behind her ears, and smiled brightly at her man.
"Look how good it is now. The whole world knows about it. How can Yuanyue Society hide it? ... Mr. Herman will call you soon. You should prepare quickly and think of ways to fan the flames and send them to heaven."
