Armor: I can only summon the general

In the editorial department of Ba Tian Magazine, Liao Bei sat at his desk, watching his five newly recruited professional copywriters and reporters working.

Since Amice left, Xiaosong also resigned to study abroad. Liao Bei was ostracized in the head office and was treated worse than a dog. In the end, his leader demoted him back to his original position because of their old friendship.

Although he left the head office, Liao Bei could still continue to serve as the editor-in-chief in the D City editorial department, which already preserved his dignity.

After returning to City D, Editor-in-Chief Liao completely lost the opportunity for advancement. He no longer dreamed of things that were out of his reach. He just slacked off all day long, waiting for retirement.

Until one day, Editor-in-Chief Liao inexplicably clicked on a website that was full of posts praising Armor Hero.

Editor-in-Chief Liao did not take it seriously at first, thinking it was just a group of enthusiasts entertaining themselves. But it was not until he came across a post denouncing their Eight-Day Magazine that he realized the seriousness of the problem.

The content of that post was very rich, mainly criticizing an article Xiaosong had written before, "Big Shot or Commoner? On the True Identity of Armor Hero."

The poster analyzed and interpreted the entire article word by word, describing Xiaosong as a black sheep who would do anything to become famous, who is short-sighted and greedy.

In fact, this is not a distortion. After all, Xiaosong had just experienced a layoff crisis and was fooled by Editor-in-Chief Liao, so he wrote such an extreme article. Xiaosong at that time was indeed worthy of these adjectives.

If that were all, Editor-in-Chief Liao would not have felt any wavering, but at the end of the article the topic suddenly changed, saying that Xiaosong was just being instructed by someone, and the real villain was actually the editor-in-chief behind the scenes.

Then they started to incite everyone to boycott the Eight Days Magazine and even prepared to conduct a human flesh search on Editor-in-Chief Liao, which scared him.

The failure in his career was due to chance. The person involved had already left and there was nothing he could do. But when Editor-in-Chief Liao returned to City D, he was threatened in his life again.

After repeated setbacks, Editor-in-Chief Liao was originally discouraged and just wanted to quietly wait until retirement, but this post ignited the fire in his heart.

From then on, Editor-in-Chief Liao's desire to win completely overwhelmed his thoughts of taking advantage of the situation. What was a small website? How could they dare to challenge their traditional media industry? He decided to have a good fight with these people and let them see the influence of print media.

Chief Editor Liao immediately took action the next day and posted a recruitment notice. It took a lot of effort to recruit these five talents. These people were not Xiaosong and An Miceu, but real tabloid practitioners.

With this team, Editor-in-Chief Liao began to frantically dig up negative information about Armor Hero and published these stories in the magazine, which soon attracted a group of Armor Hero's black fans.

With the support of these black fans, the performance of the Eight Days Magazine gradually improved, and Editor-in-Chief Liao became bolder. He even dug up old accounts and started making fake news.

Since there are not many videos of Armor Hero left on the Internet, the most detailed but most controversial one that can be found is the previous kidnapping case of mutant beasts.

In that incident, not only did the Armor Hero act rashly and rush to rescue people without ensuring the safety of the hostages, but the Black Rhino also abused the criminal suspect in public.

After the incident, it caused heated discussions among citizens, but at that time some people were grateful to the Armor Hero for saving their families, so the issue soon came to nothing.

However, this matter was dug up again by the current editor-in-chief Liao, who began to use it to attack Armor Hero and brazenly added his own name at the end of the article.

People always believe and follow blindly, and with some black fans fanning the flames, Armor Hero suddenly became the focus of public opinion.

However, not everyone is like a fool who follows the crowd. There are still many sensible people who speak up for Armor Heroes, but the only channel they can use is the Internet.

Therefore, in recent days, the popularity of Armor Hero has risen again. Those who like it like it more, and those who don’t like it naturally hate it more.

Taking advantage of this wave of enthusiasm, Editor-in-Chief Liao directly applied for twice the printing volume than before, intending to go all out. It was at this time that a fat man came to his door.

"Who is responsible? I have explosive information about Armor Hero."

Editor-in-Chief Liao raised his head and glanced at the fat man. He looked quite honest at first glance, so what explosive news could he have? But in line with the principle of trying it out, Editor-in-Chief Liao still planned to listen to his explosive news. He had nothing to do anyway.

"Sir, I'm the editor-in-chief here. If you have any explosive news, you can tell me directly."

The fat man walked to Editor-in-Chief Liao's desk and said in a muffled voice, "Flame Dragon Man just beat up two of my friends, one of whom is a woman."

Upon hearing this, Editor-in-Chief Liao's eyes widened and his mouth opened subconsciously.

"What? The Flame Dragon Knight beat someone up? Is this true? You are not here to tease me, are you? You should be prepared before you brag, okay? Even if what you said is true, you have to provide some evidence.

Just based on your words, we can't even write a draft, let alone publish it for you. Do you have any substantial evidence, such as videos or photos? It would be even better if we can get the person involved to accept our interview. "

Editor-in-Chief Liao immediately thought the fat man was an idiot and was about to kick him out, but the fat man opposite him actually nodded thoughtfully.

"Well... I will give you what you want, but you have to publish it. If you agree, I will go back and get it for you. If you don't agree, I will submit it to other magazines."

"Oh, you really have something. I really didn't recognize the real talent. Please forgive me. I promise to publish it truthfully. Please don't give the stuff to other people."

Editor-in-Chief Liao jumped to his feet, grabbed the fat man's hand and wouldn't let go, saying flattering words over and over again.

The fat man soon became impatient, shook off Editor-in-Chief Liao's hand, told him to wait, and turned around and walked out of the editorial office.

He walked all the way to an empty corner and finally stopped. Suddenly, a black crystal appeared out of thin air, emitting green light that wrapped the fat man, and then the two disappeared into the air together.

After the fat man left, Editor-in-Chief Liao was so happy that he held on to the table and laughed out loud. Several people around him also laughed.

It's really like three years of close business, three years of profit after reopening. They were just worrying about having no explosive news to release, and suddenly someone came to them and took the initiative to reveal such explosive black material, which made headlines again in the next few issues of the magazine.

After calming down, Editor-in-Chief Liao twisted his neck, slowly sat back in his chair, and his eyes inadvertently glanced at a photo on the table.

That was the photo of Editor-in-Chief Liao and Xiaosong when the magazine sold 50,000 copies for the first time. Things and people have changed a lot now, but looking back, it seems like it happened just yesterday.
