Chapter 35: Anger Of The Masses
...
The virus that only attacked whenever ads featuring the LongFeng Group's products were up added on top of the numerous problems that Cheng Yijun had to solve.
This particular incident grew to an insane proportion since it was not immediately tended to. The man had prioritized the cases and allegations being thrown at his family hence his response to the matter only came a few hours after it plagued the whole country. By then, it was already too late.
Not everyone used ad blockers. In fact, the number of people who didn't know adblockers exist and those who knew but couldn't be bothered to search for good ad blockers totaled more than a three hundred thousand, almost a third of the nation's population.
The ads that the bored hacker had good-naturedly helped stay on everyone's screens a dozen times longer than usual did not serve to promote the product, but to annoy people.
Not many would be rational enough to realize that this was an attack against the LongFeng Group.
People would only remember that for some time they couldn't use their phones to make important calls, texts, searches, etc. due to a greedy company floundering their ads as if there was no tomorrow.
Not even an hour later and the social media, news, and forums were filled with people rioting against the Cheng Corporation. The anger of the masses was in full show.
'KeepMEBoss: Trash! Trash! Trash! Boycott this corporation's products! Pei! Pei! Who f*cking wants your ads!'
'Creeper101: Boycott! BOYCOTT! X 1 billion times!!!!! *angry*'
'EvenIfTheWORLDends: Heartless money-grubbing bastards! What? You all think the attention that d*ckless Cheng Yijun has garnered is not enough? I'm telling you, I'm already charging towards them with my sharpened knife!'
'CallMe-09876544873: I'll also have them talk with my knife and chainsaw! Damn, because of them I couldn't call back my girlfriend and now she broke up with me! *cry* *cry* *cry* I'll seek justice for my broken heart! Have a taste of my wrath!!!!!!'
'Mr. Fu: My crocodiles also want to have a nice chat with them *evil grins*, just to join the fun. Btw, I'm a zookeeper and am in-charge of the keys to the cages of our new batch of untamed wild beasts. We can negotiate the price if someone wants me to lend them to increase firepower and ... Hehe.'
'RiajuuExploder: Upstairs!!!!!!!!! Bring zebra!!!!!!!! I'm an artist and I think my hands are itching to paint a handsome man like the Cheng heir engaged in bestiality! A zebra seems nice!!! Art is an explosion filling my head! Damn! Frustrations can actually inspire me this much!'
'Passerbyers: Upstairs, your taste is weird. Why a zebra? A horse is better. They're more energetic. Just saying.'
'Goodman: I'M ANGRRRRRYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!! F*CK! I'M GOING INSANE! I LOSE SEVERAL MILLIONS IN STOCKS DUE TO THEM AND NOW BECAUSE OF THOSE SH*TTY ADS I WAS LATE IN SELLING THE OTHER FALLING STOCKS! MOTHERF*CKER CHENGS! WASH YOUR STINKY NECKS! I'M COMING FOR YOUR HEAAAAADDDDDS!'
The funny comments and bashing made Jiang Li laugh and smile for a whole hour, creeping up Xie Na who came to report about his cousin that had been drugged accidentally.
The man's good mood vanished, replaced by a frown that also scared the heck out of the woman.
But she steeled her nerves and said,
"It was that Bai girl's plan because there's a man she wants to hook up with. This Bai Qing is the only daughter of Aimer Fashion and has a good reputation. She's linked to some serious cases of suicides though, so I think her character and profile are questionable. By the way, on that party, that greedy guy wants to take advantage of her plan and do that... In the end, Miss Jiang is accidentally made a victim. Do we pursue the matter now, or after the Chengs' issues?"
Jiang Li gave her a scornful look, "Why should we postpone until those people's scandals die down?"
Xie Na interpreted it as him answering 'Send the lawyers ASAP.'
After that, she asked other company-related questions.
However, deep inside, she was grumbling,
'I just inquired because you're obviously so hell-bent on bankrupting them to the point that your work efficiency fell by 50 percent. The suffering me can't even receive an explanation on why you're too focused on screwing them up! What life is this?'
...
The villainess who was more like a corporate slave in this lifetime had unknowingly given Jiang Li a hint on why Hao Gang somehow disliked the woman and disregarded putting on a gentleman pretense by leaking out the videos.
Hao Gang was merely helping Jiang Li for fun, and to rake in some money.
But the man was not yet that degenerate to make someone innocent a laughingstock unable to raise her head in the public, especially if she was revealed to be the scandalous partner of that Cheng Yijun.
Xie Na only learned of this from the second-gen's mouth which she threatened to speak up through some unknown means. But Hao Gang must have discovered the same piece of information beforehand through his superb hacking.
"The female lead has been showered with love since birth. But some are extreme love from boys that already have lovers. Those lovers that committed suicide should have little to no intersection with Bai Qing. But the fact that this female lead kept making those taken boys misunderstood and hoped for her affection despite knowing that their girlfriends are being hurt made her at fault as well, especially since there's already a precedent, but she didn't change her ways."
Bai Qing indirectly killed when she subtly instigated those suitors to ignore or push their girlfriends past the breaking point.
If she really was after the attention, why couldn't she be contented with those single gents? Was being a vague third party in so many pairings that fun for her?
"This female lead sounds like someone with a huge pit in her brain."
That night he had to travel to another city for a business meeting and had chosen to pass the night in a popular and luxurious hotel.
There was no news whatsoever about the female lead.
Jiang Li sympathized with those women who were driven to commit suicide by those foolish men enamored by Bai Qing's pure beauty and aura, so after offering them a brief sincere prayer, he unearthed their records and faces and stayed up the whole night to package a surprise gift...
