Chapter 439: Internet celebrities are prone to trouble
For a man, nothing is more painful than having his "little brother" injured. Xiao Peng was now deeply distressed, and it took him several days to recuperate in the hotel before he could walk slowly on his own.
He now discovered that talents were the most despicable creatures on the planet.
In Marseilles, he complained all day about the weather, which had no distinct seasons. He kept saying, "Winter should feel like winter."
But when he arrived in Germany and saw the white snow every day, he missed the warm Marseille. It was too cold here.
Just when Xiao Peng was thinking about going home early, someone came to his door.
"Boss, someone is looking for you!" Walter walked into the hotel room and reported.
Xiao Peng asked in confusion, "Is he looking for me or Fabian? How could someone here be looking for me?"
They'd been approached by a lot of people at the hotel these past few days, but they were all looking for Fabian. As for their purpose: it was to get the German internet celebrity named "Daji."
'Daji'? Is this translation very Chinese? 'Daji'?
This wasn't her real name, of course. Her real name was Walsha. They were in Regensburg to attend an awards ceremony for a local "Internet Celebrity Festival." Their flight was canceled due to weather conditions, so they drove instead, only to encounter heavy snow and road closures.
This Internet Celebrity Festival Awards Ceremony is a big event for her and the promotion company behind her.
His promotion company, White Swan Entertainment Promotion, is owned by a German media tycoon. He used to make a lot of money promoting traditional celebrities, but now, with the rise of online celebrity promotion, he's become quite successful thanks to his own resources. However, he's also been plagued by the problems these influencers have caused.
Although their company has promoted many internet celebrities, only a few of them have become top-tier.
As a result, their company seemed to have entered a vicious circle: whichever internet celebrity they pushed to the top would get into trouble.
First, they promoted a young, handsome fitness influencer with countless female fans, who, after becoming famous, resorted to extortion and defrauding their followers. Then, they promoted a beauty influencer, who, after becoming famous, began charging clients for hyaluronic acid injections into their noses and lips. This influencer suffered even more, violating health laws related to beauty injections and tax evasion, resulting in a four-year prison sentence.
Although she avoided jail because she was pregnant at the time, her path to becoming an internet celebrity was also cut short.
After all, the strength of this promotion company is there, so the third top internet celebrity was promoted. This top internet celebrity was a product promotion internet celebrity, and the final result was that he started selling fake products in a sideline manner.
At that time, "White Swan Entertainment Promotion" did a super stupid thing. It began to use the public opinion channels in its hands to lead the rhythm. Not only did it not admit to selling fake goods, but it also put all kinds of blame on the whistleblower who sold fake goods.
But no one is stupid these days. You are selling fakes, so what does it have to do with the identity of the whistleblower? Even if he is a "professional counterfeiter", it is an indisputable fact that you are selling fakes!
In addition, their competitors took advantage of the opportunity to make a move, so both the internet celebrity and "White Swan Entertainment Promotion" were under tremendous pressure. So they decisively "cut off their own arms", while low-key dealing with the issue of their internet celebrity selling counterfeit goods, and on the other hand, quickly promoting new internet celebrities. The one they are now promoting with all their strength is the beauty internet celebrity "Daji".
Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened again!
It's not surprising that these influencers have gotten into trouble. There are influencers with high academic qualifications, just like there are influencers in China who graduated from Peking University, but they are relatively rare! Most influencers say that they have no life skills and can't find better jobs, so they started to find other ways to go down this path.
Xiao Peng understood better than anyone else the change in mentality of a poor man who suddenly became rich.
Xiao Peng himself is a typical nouveau riche, having gone from a diver to a billionaire in a short period of time. However, he is different from other nouveau riche because he has always been working and has spent a long time studying to enrich himself. So although he has done many nouveau riche things, such as drinking, fighting, and spending money on women, he has never done anything too outrageous because he earned every penny with his own hands.
He is probably the only billionaire on this planet who doesn’t even have his own house!
But most people who suddenly become rich from being penniless will experience a period of expansion. The female internet celebrity named Varsha received the company's resources and her life changed dramatically, so she became arrogant.
Why didn't she want to tell Xiao Peng and the others about her identity? She felt like she was a big internet celebrity, and what if Xiao Peng and the others recognized her? She was a famous beauty blogger, and if people saw her without makeup, she would lose followers.
In the end, she took herself too seriously, and Xiao Peng and his gang had no idea who she was...
Everything she did in the RV was intentional, revenge for Xiao Peng and the others' bad attitude towards her. How dare they even investigate her identity?
As for the direct consequences, she didn't care at all: she thought very clearly - we have someone above us!
The people at White Swan have invested so much in her, they couldn't just stand by and watch her get into trouble, right? She just drank a bottle of champagne? She just messed up her car. How much is that? The company will help her fix it.
Unexpectedly, the subsequent developments were beyond her imagination. The company did want to come and resolve the matter, but was rejected.
Fabian was really angry this time. Now he had plenty of money, so he directly hired the best lawyer in Germany to handle the matter. No matter what anyone said, it would be useless!
The company's personnel handling the situation were completely stunned upon learning Xiao Peng and the others' identities. "This Varsha is such a jerk! With a billionaire and a near-billionaire in the car, this situation is truly unmanageable! You'll bear the consequences yourself."
When Varsha found out, she was filled with indignation: "You billionaires, how can you bully a small-time influencer like me?" Fabian's response was straightforward: "When you provoke me, don't you ever consider the consequences? The 'I'm weak, so I'm right' approach doesn't work with me!"
During that time, people from the Walsha Company kept coming to Fabian to plead for mercy, hoping that Fabian would show some leniency, but Fabian kicked them all out. How did this happen to me? Were they coming to me to plead for mercy?
As a result, Walter said: “No, boss, this time the people are here to find you.”
