Becoming a great entertainer started with being cyberbullied.

Chapter 128 Ask for a hammer and get a hammer

Tianyin spent a lot of money just to delay the time needed to clear Geng Bin's name.

"This Fang Ruoxi is too arrogant. The matter hasn't been settled yet, and she dares to release a new song to climb the charts."

"Seven million or ten million, we'll take it one day at a time. We're not the ones to be topping the charts with the new song; in the end, we'll see who wins."

On Tianyin's public relations side, Zhang Hanyu, dressed in a bright red Chanel spring collection dress, said...

Since Zhang Hanyu took over Tianyin's most profitable music department, she has begun to drastically reorganize personnel, and many senior executives who relied on their seniority but had no further contribution to the company have been dismissed.

Just this might cause unrest among the people of Tianyin, but what makes this young lady so remarkable is that she not only dismissed those executives who only took money and did nothing, but also dealt with the Zhang family.

For example, the person who slapped a talented newcomer in the face in front of the entire department in the recording studio back then.

This matter was handled in a way that was very gratifying, bringing unprecedented unity to Tianyin's employees and maximizing their sense of corporate identity.

When Tianyin and Lighthouse were engaged in a propaganda war, Tianyin internally prepared its resources before the battle even began. Zhang Hanyu generously announced that regardless of the outcome of the propaganda war, all Tianyin employees would receive red envelopes ranging from 6 to 6 yuan, depending on their rank.

This time, Tianyin employees were so determined to stick with the company through thick and thin that they all put in their best efforts to criticize Lighthouse online.

Have some people run out of ideas? Since they can't write good songs anymore, they start digging up old, trivial matters to hype up. Netizens, please don't fall into their trap.

[The bigger the tree, the more the wind blows. Someone kept topping the charts, and our Tianyin didn't say anything. But now that their new song isn't doing well, they're dragging Tianyin into this for publicity and stirring up trouble.]

[Tianyin is a temple of art for countless artists, it was eleven years ago, and it is even more so now. This temple of art cannot be defiled by filthy people; some will never be able to enter its doors in their lifetime.]

Putting everything else aside, our boss comes from a musical family. Some bosses who stage accidents across months are reportedly being detained by foreign police. Sigh, does anyone know anything about this and can enlighten us on what those bosses did?

……

"Boss, Tianyin has launched a counterattack!" a member of the newly formed public relations emergency response team immediately reported.

Meanwhile, people in other groups also found similar comments and reported them.

Fang Ruoxi has been staying on the administrative floor of the Lighthouse for two days now.

"Let's launch a poll to test the waters," Fang Ruoxi said, holding a teacup filled with strong tea.

Let's see which side the public is leaning towards now.

Geng Bin's story gets trending on social media with different headlines, and any poll with a random tag can garner hundreds of thousands of views in just one minute.

The level of attention surrounding the incident has grown to an alarming degree.

This made the people at Lighthouse Entertainment a little uneasy.

As the saying goes, water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. Such an astonishing flow of water represents immense wealth, but it is also the greatest crisis since the establishment of the lighthouse.

Tick-tock, tick-tock, time passed second by second.

On the computer screen, the blue and red voting bars rose and fell. Soon, the red bar representing support for the Lighthouse slowed down, but Tianyin's speed was still very fast.

The Lighthouse employees, who were sitting in front of their computers, were all sweating profusely, and the more they looked at the blue growth bars, the more frustrated they became.

"Ha! I'm so angry I could laugh. Seeing these trash from Tianyin crying wolf online is infuriating!" One employee was so angry he wanted to grab his keyboard and rush to Tianyin headquarters to fight those scoundrels.

One of the employees from Group Five said, "Boss, a large number of marketing accounts have joined the fray, and public opinion is almost entirely one-sided, with everyone criticizing Geng Bin."

Upon hearing this, Fang Ruoxi looked at Wang Xi beside her.

"Hey, don't worry, we cut off Teacher Geng's internet a long time ago, and we've also arranged security at the entrance. They're all retired special forces soldiers, so there's absolutely nothing going to happen." Minister Wang understood the unspoken meaning behind the words.

The terrifying thing about the internet age is its extremely fast dissemination.

A large number of marketing accounts jumped in, using advertorials and AI short videos to quickly educate netizens who were "out of touch" about Geng Bin and his "seven deadly sins".

Soon, the blog was filled with criticism, and it almost became a 404 error.

Sensing the potential for online traffic, many online celebrities quickly began creating videos. Before long, many online celebrities with large followings on Bilibili started discussing Geng Bin's case.

To create videos, we collect the latest news from netizens and then re-edit the videos...

This process repeated itself in a very short time, and soon, everyone followed the clues and discovered that Lighthouse Entertainment was involved in this matter.

Pulling out the radish brought out the mud along with it, and incidentally, I also stumbled upon Fang Ruoxi.

Those who had been closely monitoring the online drama immediately dug up their previous gossip articles—[Fang Ruoxi suspected of being in a relationship, and the other person is actually him!?]

【Aaaaaah!!! Tell me it's fake!!! I love Fang Ruoxi so much! I really can't accept her dating a scumbag!!!】

The employees at Lighthouse Entertainment are about to start cursing.

"Damn it! We overestimated their bottom line!" a team leader cursed.

Teacher Fang and Teacher Geng, how could those animals even come up with such a thing!

When the group leader started swearing, a large number of online trolls were already stirring up trouble online. The result was obvious: Fang Ruoxi was cyberbullied again.

Fang Ruoxi remained completely unmoved despite being immediately trending on social media again.

Everyone on the entire administration floor was secretly observing her expression.

Fang Ruoxi took out her phone, and Wang Xi, who was next to her, lunged forward and reached out to snatch it, but Fang Ruoxi nimbly dodged it.

Minister Wang lost his balance and immediately knelt down in front of Teacher Fang.

Fang Ruoxi: "..."

Minister Wang: "..."

“Well, you see, you specifically told Geng Bin and the others not to go online today, haha…” Wang Xi stood up awkwardly, “How come when it comes to yourself, you do that? Why don’t you not go online today either? Hey, we can broadcast this news to you live, it’ll be the same.” Minister Wang said, awkwardly standing up.

Fang Ruoxi looked down at the blog interface on her phone screen.

The negative trending topics featuring her name seemed to be on a rocket, soaring to the top of the trending list at an incredible speed.

It's clear that the "Big Three" have spent a lot of money to buy her popularity.

Fang Ruoxi couldn't help but laugh.

If she were humorous enough, she'd probably post a blog entry now saying: "Thank you to the rival company for the 'rocket' gift."

Fang Ruoxi put away her phone and calmly said to the public relations staff, whose backs were tense, "Now."

"Put down the first hammer."

At his command, the office was immediately filled with the clatter of keyboards.

A video quickly spread across the internet, as fast as a virus.

First blow in the exoneration of a ten-year-old wrongful conviction: Old friend turns into villain, seeking both wealth and life [Video][Video][Video]

The three videos are all short, with durations of one and a half minutes, five minutes, and the final full-length video of eleven minutes and fifty-five seconds.

The source file for this video was sent by Dr. B from the United States. It was a recording of Geng Bin's agent back then.

Many of Geng Bin's crimes were exposed by this agent, who claimed to be an insider, including some so-called "solid evidence."

The signing of Geng Bin's document was made possible by the fact that this agent, who once claimed to be Geng Bin's mentor and confidant in the media, released every piece of information that was "sharp and deadly," almost aiming to kill Geng Bin.

Upon opening the first video, you'll see an ostentatious middle-aged man covered in luxury brand logos facing the camera.

His first sentence immediately grabbed everyone's attention.

"What's your name?" a voice-over asks.

"I...I'm called Tian Jiansheng..."

“Go ahead.”

Tian Jiansheng flinched slightly. "I... I was the manager of superstar Geng Bin eleven years ago..."

The video has been edited here, showing Tian Jiansheng holding his wallet and starting to "show off his wealth" to the camera.

"This is my black card from Chase Bank in Country A."

The foreigner in the background mumbled something, and Tian Jiansheng immediately cooperated, explaining to the overseas netizens how to obtain such a credit card from Chase Bank in Country A.

"If you have more than $200 million in their bank deposits, own a property worth more than $300 million in a city like LA or NY in Country A, and spend more than $100 million a year... then you can get a black card."

The first viewers who watched the video were completely bewildered.

The blog's topic section is about to explode.

[Family, am I being silly, or is there inflation on the A-side that hasn't been communicated to us? How could someone who worked for the King of Finance 11 years ago be making so much money???]

[Holy crap! I'd believe it if a marketing account popped up saying GB and this guy surnamed Tian were really having an affair... This is... isn't that guy just giving all his earnings to his agent??]

[What's so strange about that? The entertainment industry is lucrative, are you just finding out? Did your village just get internet access?]

[Reply: This person saying the village just got internet access, are you a recent Martian immigrant? Ask your parents what the standard for being wealthy was ten years ago... What do you think it is now?]

[No, let's not get off-topic. Based on the video title, I have a terrifying theory... Country A has lost a huge amount of assets of unknown origin (horrified.jpg)]

[Who edited the first video?! Holy crap, how come it just exploded and then disappeared?!]

[Reply: Keep watching the second video, you idiot.]

After Tian Jiansheng listed his assets in Country A and showed off his luxury car keys, the first video came to an end, and Tian was asked by an off-screen voice about the origin of his assets.

Tian Jiansheng: "Back then, I fabricated evidence and created some false news, and then a large company gave me 'reward'."

The last sentence was like pouring water into a pot of boiling oil.

To everyone's surprise, the first reversal happened so suddenly.
