Chapter 152 The Mastermind
Public opinion continues to ferment.
The netizens who were persuaded to be used as pawns inherited all the advantages of being a "knife".
An Jin and Zhang Yuanyuan's social media accounts were bombarded with messages, with even their work accounts and fan groups being flooded with intruders.
An Jin lay on the bed, looking at her chaotic fan group where she was managing to release people like crazy, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Zhang Yuanyuan looked up in confusion: "An'an, what are you laughing at?"
An Jin: "Cockroaches have gotten into the fan group."
Zhang Yuanyuan: "Huh?"
An Jin: "Some brainless idiots found my fan group. I don't know what they were thinking, but they came into my fan group to curse me."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuanyuan picked up her phone and quickly checked her fan group.
The good news is that her fan base is doing relatively well.
The bad news is that all of these people have gone to An Jin's fan group.
"An'an, you should kick him out."
An Jin: "Why kick? It's so boring late at night. My fans are already furious, so of course we should keep this kind of idiot around for entertainment."
The management of the fan group probably thinks the same way, so they put a few haters into the fan group every now and then.
These trolls had barely said a few words in the group when they were immediately bombarded with insults by the group's fans. Not only were they outnumbered, but the moment the troll finished cursing An Jin, he was muted by the group admins.
The troublemaking admins didn't rush to kick out the trolls after banning them; they just let them get yelled at in the group.
No one can stand being insulted without being able to talk back. These idiots wisely left the group shortly after being banned.
There are too many idiots. I was already angry because I couldn't see An An's live stream, and these idiots still insisted on joining the group to get insulted.
It's not that they're brainless, but they managed to find our group; it's not that they're smart, but they actually dared to join.
If I don't curse him until he vomits, then he must have eaten too little for lunch.
It's so annoying! If things are like this in the group, An'an must be feeling even worse.
Even the boss's group was affected. The moderator said that An'an needs to be dealt with quietly now, and the show will have to be suspended for at least half a month.
Half a month later, oh my god, if someone punches me on the head, I'd like to sleep until half a month later.
I'm speechless. The broadcast was going well, and suddenly so many marketing accounts are messing with it. Aren't the official channels going to do anything about it?
The group chat was flooded with messages.
Having finally finished his work, Chen Su opened the familiar live streaming platform, but didn't see any familiar faces, and couldn't help but frown.
"Is there an event? Why isn't it live today?"
Chen Su stared blankly at An Jin's quiet personal homepage for a while, then turned and opened his phone.
In the boss's group chat.
Ugh, this is so annoying. Has anyone in the group found out why?
I don't think so yet. The experts are all investigating. If they have any news, they'll definitely let us know.
Upon seeing the group message, Chen Su typed in confusion: "Investigate what?"
Brother Suibian, you're finally out! I don't know who An'an offended, but now a lot of marketing accounts and online trolls are attacking An'an, making her afraid to even do live streams.
Chen Su: Online trolls and marketing accounts? Can someone tell me the whole story from beginning to end?
The group was full of Anjin's bosses. As soon as Chen Su asked, the bosses in the group chatted and told him everything they knew.
It started about a month ago when a lot of marketing accounts suddenly appeared online, spreading rumors about An An. At first, everyone thought it was just some brainless marketing accounts trying to attract attention, so they didn't pay much attention. Unexpectedly, when these brainless marketing accounts saw that we were ignoring them, they started to go on a rampage, and netizens joined in the chaos, causing the buzz to grow, and some of An An's past controversies were dug up.
Chen Su: And then?
Then, a few older brothers who wanted to pursue An An but were always rejected by her suddenly betrayed her, saying that An An was stringing them along.
Chen Su roughly understood: What should An'an say now?
The group members directly dug out the short essay that An Jin had posted in the group and tagged Chen Su to read it.
After reading the message, Chen Su said: "I understand. Someone just said that someone in the group is investigating. Please tell me their name."
It's Qiaoqiao and Sister Shasha. Boss, you can add them on your phone.
Chen Su: Okay.
He found Zhao Bingqiao and Li Sha's accounts in the group and added them directly.
While waiting for the two to accept each other's friend requests, Chen Su sent An Jin a message.
Chen Su: Why didn't you tell me when something happened?
An Jin, who was watching the fan war against the haters, saw this message and immediately typed a pitiful message: "Brother, are you done with your work?"
Chen Su: You're done with your work? Why did you keep such a big thing from me?
An Jin's lips twitched. It wasn't that she didn't want to talk about it; she had genuinely forgotten.
An Jin's eyes darted around: "I didn't hide it from you because you're busy, Brother Suibian, and I didn't want to bother you."
Looking at An Jin's aggrieved words and emojis, Chen Su said expressionlessly, "An Jin, you're not the kind of person who doesn't like to bother people."
Given An Jin's habit of calling out names one by one during her live streams, Chen Su couldn't believe a word she said.
However, regardless of his disbelief, Chen Su knew that An Jin had truly been wronged.
With so many online trolls and marketing accounts, who did you offend?
An Jin pouted and complained to Zhang Yuanyuan, "I really can't stand this old man's words. He always says I've offended someone, even though I haven't offended anyone. It's just an innocent disaster."
Zhang Yuanyuan hugged An Jin's arm and said cutely, "Oh, all older brothers are like this, they always talk like fathers, just ignore him."
An Jin: "No, he's quite rich. He often spends money on me, so I can't ignore him."
Zhang Yuanyuan comforted her, "Then let's just do it half-heartedly."
An Jin nodded: "Mm."
She typed: I've been doing my live streams diligently for the past two months, and I haven't offended anyone at all.
Chen Su grasped the key point: What about two months ago?
That's too many.
An Jin thought for a moment: I can't remember.
Chen Su on the other end of the chat box: ......
"never mind."
Chen Su rubbed his temples: "I'll investigate this myself."
He glanced at the sky outside and made a phone call to a friend in his social circle with whom he had a good relationship.
"Brother Su, what's up calling me so late?"
The person on the other end of the phone answered quickly.
Chen Su said gently, "Yes, it's nothing, I hope I didn't bother you?"
The person on the other end of the phone chuckled and said, "No, I'm just at home with nothing to do. What's up, Brother Su? Why would you call me so late at night?"
Chen Su: "I have a friend who is a live streamer. She has been attacked by online trolls and marketing accounts recently. Do you have a way to find out who is behind these trolls and marketing accounts?"
"Sure, Su-ge, just tell me your friend's name, and I'll call you back later once I find it."
Chen Su: "Thank you for your help. I'll treat you to a meal sometime."
The man replied, "No trouble at all, Brother Su, you've helped me so many times, this is just a small favor, it's not trouble at all. It's settled then, I'll call you back when I find out."
Chen Su laughed and said, "Okay, I'll hang up now."
