My book friend Long Aotian

Chapter 189: Uncle Seven is a Vicious Female Supporting Character
"Let us spread this news?"

Rumors, street gossip, and folk tales.

Manipulating and playing with public opinion is the Qu Shiwen Society’s unique skill.

The opinion leaders and authors they nurture usually express their views, attract readers to follow and resonate with them, and further influence the direction of public opinion. This is their forte. As for fabricating negative information, leading the pace, making innuendos, and using the Spring and Autumn style of writing, these are also basic operations.

In order to resist the power stick of the corrupt official Li Zei, almost all the bosses of Qu Shi Wen Hui joined the Cao Gang. Headed by Zheng Xiuyuan, the cultural businessmen have all become subordinates to the leader Ma Fulong.

Taking the money from the Cao Gang, eating the food from the Cao Gang, and enjoying the commercial resources of the Cao Gang, it is natural that one has to work for the Cao Gang.

In the past few days, they have indeed worked very hard for the Cao Gang.

Preparing variety shows, implementing a free reading strategy, and engaging in fierce confrontation with the Tongwen Bureau in the public opinion field...Since Yunhuatang paid very quickly, these businessmen gradually forgot about their delicate situation of being sandwiched between the Cao Gang and the government, and focused on working and making money for the sake of enormous wealth.

However, today, Master Ma summoned them and assigned them a new task.

The task itself is not difficult.

It's nothing more than spreading some negative information about a person, ruining his reputation, making him the target of public criticism and unable to defend himself, becoming a laughing stock in the streets of Huazhou.

This business is not unfamiliar.

These cultural businessmen often use this trick to deal with disobedient small authors and actors.

Tried and tried.

After all, they hold the weapon of public opinion and can discredit anyone they want. Even if the victims are wronged, they cannot speak out - after all, their people are all over the public opinion channels such as newspapers, restaurants and teahouses. Even if you have thousands of grievances and injustices and shout at the top of your lungs, who can hear you?
However, although there is no problem with the business level, the business object this time is a bit...

Zheng Xiuyuan stammered, "Isn't this Miss Ma?"

Eight years ago, there was a divorce in the Cao Gang and the legend of the butterfly transformation.

This incident spread like a whirlwind throughout the world and was known throughout the country. Zheng Xiuyuan and others were deeply impressed by it.

At that time, Huazhou's cultural heritage was already flourishing, and its opera culture was extremely developed, so opera troupes and bookstores were eager to create works that claimed "this story is adapted from real events".

All the businessmen present at the scene made huge profits at the time. Various versions of the scripts and dramas caused a sensation in the city, and the streets were truly deserted... The grand occasion in Huazhou was just a microcosm of public opinion worldwide. It seemed that the whole world was talking about this incident, and all the drama troupes in the world seemed to be rehearsing and compiling this story.

"The Butterfly" was popular for several years, but the heat gradually cooled and was slowly replaced by newer and better stories.

However, even during the years when the story was most popular, Zheng Xiuyuan and others retained some rationality and made some fictional adaptations, concealing the family background of the Cao Gang and only saying that they were from a noble family, and they did not dare to name any names.

But at that time everyone knew who this incident was referring to, and they also knew which family the vicious noble lady who came to nothing was from.

People all over the world enjoy discussing this matter.

Their simple sense of justice makes them willing to support Zhu Junliang who died for love, but they will also ridicule and despise the vicious third party. After all, there must be a bad guy in every tragedy.

As a result, common people released their grievances and found comfort, businessmen made enough money, and chess players at higher levels also got relatively satisfactory results, and the years finally became peaceful.

Even the legend of the butterfly itself has become a "classic story" with the passage of time, and has gradually been regarded as commonplace by the world, slowly fading into indifference and even being forgotten.

However, eight years later, someone wanted to bring up the past again.

And it is even more intense, naming and shaming names.

——Zheng Xiuyuan was shocked for a moment.

They adapted the play at that time because they had received some degree of hints and tacit approval. In addition, the profit potential was amazing, and there was also the first one who was brave enough to try it and not be poisoned to death, so they all rushed to do it.

Even so, the identity of the Cao Gang is carefully concealed in the story.

Now Ma Fulun actually asked them to openly hype this matter and ridicule the person involved, Ms. Ma?
"After all, she is a noble lady from the Cao Gang!" he said in a trembling voice, "We are just ordinary people..."

I heard that Miss Ma is Dajiang Longjun’s biological sister!
If we gossip about her, will we still be alive afterwards?
"You are members of the Cao Gang." Ma Fulong said coldly, "You are from the eldest house."

Zheng Xiuyuan was shocked. Looking at the hall master in front of him, he felt that Ma Fulong today was no longer the same as usual. He was no longer calm and confident, no longer able to plan and strategize, and no longer stable and steady.

Zheng Xiuyuan felt anxiety, uneasiness and even anger from the other person.

"I'm not discussing with you, I'm ordering you."

Ma Fulong's eyes seemed calm, but the bloodshot eyes revealed a heart-pounding madness and stubbornness.

"You people who are involved in cultural affairs, you argue with others every day, use your pen to reverse right and wrong, distort the truth, and say black is white. Aren't you the best at doing these things?"

He stared at every businessman present.

"You are taking money from the big house... Is there anyone who doesn't want to work for the big house? Say it now!"

Everyone was terrified for a moment, as if they had fallen into an icy cave.

This... this seems to be different from what we agreed!
I thought I was just charging into battle for Yun Hua Tang and fighting against that crazy official Li Bailong.

How come Master Ma suddenly became even crazier than him?
What happened?

——Is this Li Bailong trying to provoke the hall master again?
Seeing Ma Fulong's fierce eyes, as if he was ready to bite someone, Zheng Xiuyuan groaned inwardly, and gritted his teeth to mediate: "It's not that we don't want to repay the hall master, but this matter... is too bizarre. We don't know the reason, so we don't know the limit. I'm afraid we will go too far, hinder the hall master's important matter, and hurt the relationship between brothers..."

Ma Fulong stared for a moment, then suddenly laughed.

"Okay, okay, just agree. As for the reason... that's simple, that's simple."

His sudden smile made everyone even more frightened.

In the strange silence, Hall Master Ma looked around, even with a hint of flattery in his eyes, and whispered, "To be honest, I asked you to bring up the old matter again and cause a heated discussion on the streets of Huazhou because I wanted to laugh at her, ridicule her, humiliate her, and then... make her run away!"

"..."

Everyone looked at each other in shock.

Damn it! The head of Yunhua Hall has gone crazy!
Are you kidding me? Miss Ma is already in Huazhou?
Moreover, you want us to incite public opinion to ridicule, humiliate and mock her... and that will make her angry and run away?
——You thought this was a female story!
She will tell her eldest brother about it immediately and have us all killed!

Zheng Xiuyuan only felt that the sky and the earth were dark, and the world had turned into a huge female storybook.

For the future of the Zheng family and his son, he gritted his teeth and bet on the Cao Gang, threw himself into the game, and plunged into the treacherous court struggles. He thought this would be a heroic game of power.

I didn't expect that I would be repeatedly humiliated and beaten by the madman Li Bailong, and then I would witness the once handsome and elegant Yunhua Hall Master transforming into a weirdo with confusing motives and shocking logic at the speed of light...

how so!
The merchants of the Qushiwen Society were also unable to accept this development, and some of them could not help but say, "Can you drive people away using this method? I don't think so..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a howling wind blew and Ma Fulong pounced over like a wolf or a tiger.

The businessman who was talking was sitting in the third row. Master Ma pressed forward unstoppably, and his Qi burst out. The people in the first two rows were pushed to the sides and fell down, crying out in pain. Everyone looked over in horror. Ma Fulong's hands were like iron pliers, pinching the businessman's neck and lifting him up. In an instant, he pinched his face so hard that it turned purple and his tongue stuck out.

"What do you know?"

Ma Fulong's eyes were as cold as stars, and he said coldly, "Not necessarily? You are a short-sighted person, a foolish and short-sighted person. The women you have met in your life are nothing but mediocre women. How can they compare to her?"

His tone turned gentle.

"She will have it."

"She cares about her reputation and she has always cared about this matter, but she will only run away and she doesn't want to face it."

"Because she is very kind, she would never try to solve problems with power or force."

"After going through such a thing, she didn't vent her anger or blame others. She would just hide away and sulk, blaming fate, the world, and herself, but she never resented others."

Ma Fulong murmured softly: "She has always been like this, otherwise she would not be trapped in the shadow of the past. She always thinks of others and considers other people's difficulties and hardships. So if you scold her or laugh at her now, she will just endure it on her own. If she can't endure it, she will stay away. She will leave, she will leave..."

The hall was in chaos.

Everyone looked at Ma Fulong who was muttering to himself in horror. The businessman who had just spoken was still held in the air by him, his tongue slowly sticking out, and he died in an instant.

They wanted to go out and call for help, but no one dared to move. Someone whispered, "Old Zheng... Old Zheng! Old Zheng, say something!"

Zheng Xiuyuan also felt horrified, but the situation had come to this point, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and shout, "Master, Old Wu is about to die! Can you please let him go first?"

Ma Fulong turned his head and gave a terrifying smile.

He seemed to still be immersed in the fond memories of his "sister-in-law".

Zheng Xiuyuan shouted, "We will obey your orders! We are willing to listen to your orders!"

This is the correct answer.

A look of excitement appeared on Ma Fulong's face. He let go of his hand and let Old Wu fall to the ground.

Zheng Xiuyuan breathed a sigh of relief. A shadow flashed before his eyes, and Ma Fulong approached. He asked sincerely, "Please teach me, Mr. Zheng, what are your plans for this matter?"

President Zheng's heart was beating like a drum. He gathered all his strength, racked his brains, and quickly said, "This is easy! According to the routine of Huazhou female stories, whenever a female protagonist establishes herself in the world, there must be a vicious female supporting role blocking her way."

"In the family courtyard, there are vicious illegitimate sisters and stepmothers, in the school, there are vicious classmates and female teachers, in the business world, there are vicious colleagues, and in the emotional field, there are naturally vicious third parties who are in love with their loved ones..."

As a successful figure in Huazhou literary world and president of the Qushiwen Association, he combined the actual situation and came up with a reasonable plan in a short period of time.

"Although it is a female-oriented routine, the existence of the routine has its reasons, because readers or the world expect to see a pure target that can make it easy for them to hate and attack..."

He said quickly: "So we portrayed Miss Ma in this way, adding fuel to the fire, saying that she fell in love with Zhu Jun at first sight and was obsessed with him. In order to break up Zhu Jun and Liang Nu, she did many vicious things..."

Without blinking, Zheng Xiuyuan listed several classic evil deeds of women in the movies.

Drugging, kidnapping, framing, and letting the protagonist be misunderstood and humiliated in public.

And the most important thing is corporal punishment and fucking public corporal punishment.

"This will cause extreme disgust among the world," Zheng Xiuyuan concluded. "In this case, without our guidance, everyone will mock and insult us on their own, and even make up more jokes..."

Said so.

Then he saw Ma Fulong in front of him and smiled brightly from the bottom of his heart.

"That's... great."

——Zheng Xiuyuan just felt cold all over.

This man was just talking about Miss Ma's good points, but he was actually planning and pushing forward a vicious scheme to humiliate her to the extreme. However, his smile contained joy, and his eyes were full of concern and care.

How could a normal person do such a twisted and contradictory thing?

Why would an abnormal person become the leader of a state?
"Then I'll leave this matter to you guys."

After hearing this seemingly sound plan, Ma Fulong unexpectedly calmed down. He seemed to have turned back into the graceful and elegant young man of the Cao Gang. He nodded and bowed to everyone.

Seeing that Old Wu was still collapsed on the ground, he leaned over, stretched out his hand, and used his internal energy to help the other person slowly wake up.

The merchant opened his eyes dazedly, and saw Ma Fulong apologetically saying, "Brother, I was in a hurry and didn't care about the seriousness of the matter..."

Old Wu fainted again from fright.

This is just a small episode.

The merchants were full of thoughts and fears, but they had already boarded the Cao Gang's ship and no one had the courage to get off. They didn't even have the guts to ask to get off.

After the meeting, Zheng Xiuyuan began to arrange the next team-building activities.

Now that things have come to this, they can only bite the bullet and do it.

Just thinking about Ma Fulun's creepy smile, Zheng Xiuyuan could no longer suppress the uneasiness in his heart.

Master Ma seemed to be convinced that as long as Huazhou was filled with criticism and ridicule of Miss Ma, Miss Ma would be filled with shame and anger and flee overnight...

——What will happen if things don’t turn out as planned?
When he thought of this, he felt a wave of panic in his heart. He gritted his teeth and went to visit Yunhua's deputy commander Ling Daoren. He closed the door and told him about the matter.

"Alas, the master of Yunhua Hall has the final say after all. If he tells you to do something, you just do it."

Taoist Ling said calmly: "As for the criticism of Miss Ma, there is no need to worry too much. You don't have to get involved in person, just ask your subordinates to do it. This matter is the decision of Yunhua Hall, and the risk is also borne by the hall."

In response, Zheng Xiuyuan just smiled bitterly.

He didn't quite believe it...but he had no other choice.

"We are deeply indebted to the eldest family, and we should do our best. This goes without saying."

Zheng Xiuyuan said softly: "But the hall master's logic is a bit far-fetched. If things don't develop as he expects, and Miss Ma doesn't leave..."

"It doesn't matter. Just do your job and follow orders. If it really doesn't work..."

Taoist Ling spoke in a calm tone.

"Then the hall master can only accept his fate."
