Chapter 182 New Idol? (Text)
Glenn Moore walked out of his office in frustration, like a defeated rooster.
Standing in front of Yang Huan, with his head down, he looked like a stray dog.
Ever since someone published his chat records with some colleagues on the Internet, his reputation has been ruined. He has become a complete public enemy of the British people and the target of criticism and accusations by major newspapers.
Now he has experienced firsthand what it means to be in disgrace.
But when he raised his head and looked at Yang Huan, his eyes immediately turned red, his hands clenched into fists, and he became furious.
"It's you, you despicable villain, who had my computer hacked. It must be you!"
When he wanted to rush forward, the two black-clad bodyguards beside Yang Huan immediately reached out and grabbed his shoulders, one on the left and one on the right.
This made Glenn Moore unable to move forward even a single step, and he just kept struggling there.
But the bodyguard's hands were so strong that he couldn't break free.
Yang Huan shrugged, looking innocent, and smiled: "I didn't do it."
But obviously, no one at the scene believed it because it was such a coincidence.
Moreover, Yang Huan has so many technical experts under him, and it might be one of them who hacked into Glenn Moore's computer.
Although it may not have been his instigation, this kind of thing can only be blamed on him.
This is like the underworld. If the younger brothers break the law, the boss will naturally take the blame.
"Who else but you?" Glenn Moore was completely enraged.
"How should I know?" Yang Huan still laughed, "You have offended so many people, and you are usually so arrogant and domineering. Who knows which guy doesn't like you and exposed your affairs?"
"Besides, you are really stupid. You are so stupid in front of dozens of reporters. Do you have a pig brain? Have you heard of the saying that paparazzi can be trusted, and even sows can climb trees!"
Glenn Moore originally wanted to get angry, but unexpectedly, he was left speechless by Yang Huan's scolding.
The main reason was that he was too self-righteous at the time.
It really proves the saying, if you don't seek stupid things, you won't die.
Most of the people in the editorial department of the Independent were journalists, and they all felt embarrassed when they heard what Yang Huan said.
But you also know this is the truth, because many reporters may treat you as a friend on the surface, but secretly they are trying to get information and gossip about you, and even hope that you will be ruined.
Anyone who has been in this circle for a long time knows this.
Although the police were called, they did not find any clues and believed that either the hacker was too skilled or there was an insider.
All in all, this has become an unsolved case.
"Okay, I have a lot of things to do and I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. I'm here to collect my debt!"
Glenn Moore's arrogance suddenly disappeared without a trace.
No matter how much he did, he still had to apologize in the newspaper in the end.
"How about? How about tomorrow?" Yang Huan couldn't wait any longer.
You bastards have been dragging it out for a month, and you still don't have the slightest self-awareness. You have to force me to come to your house in person. If you continue to delay like this, it will become a bad debt. Why should I bother collecting it?
Glenn Moore lowered his head and said nothing.
"Okay, it'll be on the front page tomorrow." Yang Huan made the decision for him immediately.
He then turned to look at the editor-in-chief of the Independent, "Mr. Smith, you guys at the Independent don't have the courage to do that, do you?"
Whitham Smith looked at Glenn Moore and knew that he had no choice but to nod and say, "We will take responsibility for what we have done."
"Okay!" Yang Huan felt that Whitham Smith was a man who had experienced many ups and downs.
He is not only the editor-in-chief of the Independent, but also the founder of the Independent.
He just took the initiative to take on some of the responsibilities of publishing comments in newspapers for Glenn Moore, which shows that this old guy is also responsible.
This is an era of free speech and it is cowardly to trouble others over a few comments.
Yang Huan would never do that.
"Oh, by the way, Mr. Smith, remember to write a better apology statement, and describe our Mr. Glenn Moore as being sincere and repentant."
Glenn Moore felt greatly humiliated and gnashed his teeth in hatred.
He really had an urge to commit suicide by jumping off the building, but the problem was that he didn't have the courage and determination to do so.
"Oh, and also, I'll put the apology statement in the upper half, and I'll place an advertisement in the lower half. I think you, the Independent, won't object to it, right?" Yang Huan said with a smile.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how can you miss it?
Whitham Smith had the urge to cry, but also to laugh. What on earth is the structure of the brain of this young man from China? On one hand, he wants people to issue an apology statement, and on the other hand, he wants to run advertisements.
"Mr. Yang Huan, we are a commercial organization. If there is an advertisement, we will definitely accept it. These are two different matters."
"Very good!" Yang Huan nodded and smiled, "I'll have someone prepare the ad and send it to you later."
After finishing speaking, Yang Huan came closer to Glenn Moore and waved his hand with a smile, "Shayoulala!"
Then he left with Long Wu and two bodyguards.
As soon as the bodyguard left, the pressure on Glenn Moore was relieved, but he almost went crazy.
"Glenn!" Whitham Smith said with a stern face, stopping Glenn Moore who was pretending to chase out.
He was originally a journalist and founded the Independent newspaper with two colleagues.
In the more than thirty years since the founding of the Independent, he has never been so humiliated as he is today.
And all of this depends on the student he values most.
"Come in with me!"
After saying that, Whitham Smith turned and left.
Everyone at the scene had different moods; some were regretful, some were happy, some were sad, and some were expectant.
Glenn Moore's stint as chief reporter for The Independent is over!
He can no longer hold his own in this newspaper.
…………

"It is said that the Independent will have explosive news tomorrow morning!"
An anonymous newspaper worker posted a photo on his WeChat, Twitter and Facebook simultaneously.
It was a photo of Yang Huan walking into the gate with three bodyguards, and behind them was a conspicuous Independent newspaper logo.
This photo immediately went viral on the Internet.
"What was he doing at the Independent headquarters?"
"Of course, he's going to cause trouble for Glenn Moore."
"Do you think Glenn Moore will get a good beating?"
"I think we should be beaten. That bastard treats us like idiots and assholes. I'll beat him up when I see him!"
"I don't think he'll be that violent. I think this Chinese guy is pretty handsome."
"Wow, handsome guys can't hit people?"
"That's right. I'm also a handsome guy, but I beat people up all the time."
"I really want to know what he was doing at the Independent headquarters!"
"Oh my god, I'll know tomorrow morning."
"They are so mysterious. They just want us to buy their newspapers, right?"
"I will never read the shameless Independent newspaper!"
"But I want to see..."
I can only say that although gossip is shameless, who doesn’t like it?
…………
…………
The Sun headquarters.
"Editor-in-chief, I got some information!"
As soon as Rebekah Wade picked up the phone on the desk, she heard the excited voice of the reporter who had just been sent out to gather intelligence. It seemed that they had gained a lot.
"What's going on? Tell me."
“I have confirmed that the person who broke the news online was actually a reporter from The Independent.”
Rebekah Wade was not surprised when she heard this. She just cursed, "Wow, that's too shameless."
Isn't it just to boost sales?
Why make it so mysterious?
"I also heard that Glenn Moore has been fired by Whitham Smith, and he will publish an apology on the front page tomorrow morning."
Rebekah Wade nodded. This apology statement was really something she had been waiting for.
"Did that Chinese man cause any trouble?" This was what Rebekah Wade was most concerned about.
Compared to Yang Huan, Glenn Moore is nothing!
"No, I heard they're still advertising in their newspapers!"
"Really?" Rebekah Wade was dumbfounded. She didn't hit anyone, but instead took care of the other person's business?
Where is the moral integrity? Where is the moral integrity?
Don’t people these days have any temper?
At the very least, you should beat him up and then throw him down from the building to satisfy yourself!
This way we in the media will also have topics to hype!
"Editor-in-Chief, this is the information I got from the wife of the nephew of the eighth aunt of the husband of my best friend's cousin. She was at the scene of the incident, and it's absolutely true."
Rebekah Wade was a little disappointed. There was a lack of explosive news.
These days, it's hard to arouse readers' interest unless there's some explosive conflict, bloodshed, or some adultery.
"Anything else?"
"Yes!" The reporter seemed to have been waiting for the editor-in-chief to ask, "I also got news from other channels. I heard that Yang Huan has been in London all morning to collect debts. He even did not let go of those who had resigned long ago. They will all publish apology statements tomorrow, and Yang Huan will also advertise in their newspapers."
This immediately caught Rebekah Wade's attention. "Advertisement? What advertisement?"
"I'm not sure, it seems to be an advertisement for a new game."
"New game? Shooting?" Rebekah Wade wanted to laugh.
This game still needs advertising?
You know, this game is believed by many critics to lead to a decline in social productivity, and many doctors believe that excessive addiction to it can easily cause a variety of health problems. It is even believed by psychologists to have a negative psychological impact on teenagers.
It has been very popular for some time, do you still need to advertise?
To be honest, Rebekah Wade really admired Yang Huan. She had no choice but to admire him.
In just three days, it is not something that anyone can do to create a game that is so popular that countless people are addicted to it.
The sudden popularity of this game also made Yang Huan’s fame soar, and more inside information was unearthed.
For example, he made Psy and Yoona famous, and he directed their songs and MVs.
Also, he was the one who made the final decision on Southampton's signings, and look at how competitive the Saints are now.
After beating Bolton Wanderers 5-0 in the semi-finals, Manchester United made it to the FA Cup final with an invincible momentum and became Manchester United's number one opponent for the championship. This is no joke.
To put it bluntly, Yang Huan's influence is getting bigger and bigger. There is even a group of people called * on the Internet. They are said to be his die-hard fan group, and the number of people has exceeded 100,000.
Someone even asked Rebekah Wade before, will Yang Huan become a new idol in the UK?
Under normal circumstances, this would be impossible!
A Chinese person traveled across the ocean to start a business in the UK, but became a new idol for the British and even European and American countries?
But now, Rebekah Wade didn't dare to answer.
With the rise of the Internet and the decline of traditional newspapers, creating a new idol has undoubtedly become the most urgent task for traditional newspapers.
Because of the emergence of a new idol that has attracted nationwide attention, this new idol's every move and everything about him will become the focus of people's attention, thereby stimulating the sales of newspapers and magazines and boosting the sluggish traditional newspaper industry.
Didn’t someone say that?
The media all over the world only do two things: create stars and destroy stars.
As for Yang Huan, there is such a possibility.
He is involved in the most popular football among the British and even the whole world. He is the youngest club owner in history, and he is doing a pretty good job.
At the same time, he is also a rising star in the Internet field. In less than half a year, the combined valuation of WeChat company, game department, and entertainment company has exceeded US$1 billion.
Such a person will be the focus wherever he goes.
Thinking of this, Rebekah Wade picked up the phone on the desk again and dialed an internal number.
"Tomorrow's front page headline will focus on... Yang Huan!"
