After being reborn, I refused to be a sucker, and my whole family was dumbfounded.

Chapter 288

Then a video appeared on the large screen behind him.

In the video, Lin Ling holds a microphone and righteously declares that he will stand up for everyone and help them solve their problems one by one.

But the people who were just crying and demanding an explanation from Lin Ling are now all scrambling for money.

Then one victim after another revealed that they were actors hired by the Zeng family.

This video is solid evidence that the Zeng family framed Lingyun Group.

The reporters at the scene were excited; this was truly big news, and it was sure to generate a lot of buzz.

As they expected, the news immediately caused a huge uproar online.

Netizens were stunned.

"What? The Zeng family framed Lingyun Group?"

"These actors are hilarious! They turned against us so easily."

"I didn't expect this. The evidence is conclusive. Lingyun Group is innocent. I think I was a bit too loud just now."

"The chairman of Lingyun Group is so young and so handsome? My goodness!"

"He's so handsome. I don't even need to look to know he's been wronged."

When the Zeng family saw this news, they were furious.

Zeng's second brother angrily said, "Contact the media immediately and make them retract this news. No matter how much it costs, the Zeng family can afford it."

The Zeng family mobilized their resources, making numerous phone calls to the heads of major media outlets.

After a series of threats and inducements, almost every media outlet agreed to delete the posts they had published.

Just as the Zeng family breathed a sigh of relief, they were shocked to discover...

Although reports from major media outlets have been deleted, the topic has only gained more attention.

Moreover, screenshots have been taken by netizens and are circulating widely, making it seem as if they were never deleted.

"What's going on?" Zeng's second brother asked angrily, "What kind of tricks does this damned Lin Ling have to manipulate public opinion online?"

"Does he have a team of online trolls under his command?"

The Zeng family's senior members were abuzz with discussion.

"That's impossible, that's outrageous. They've already contacted the media, so why is the buzz still rising?"

"Judging from this trend, it seems the hype can't be contained."

"Maybe that kid really does have an online army, and we've fallen into a trap."

At this moment, a man in a suit walked in: "Mr. Zeng, we have found out the cause."

"Speak quickly," Zeng Er said impatiently.

The man said with a strange expression, "The reason why the popularity is increasing instead of decreasing is that Lin Ling is quite handsome, which has attracted the attention of many female netizens. It is they who have stirred up the buzz."

After saying that, he took out his computer and projected the compiled content onto the big screen.

Comments and posts appeared before everyone's eyes.

Everyone was praising Lin Ling's good looks.

Furthermore, many people have dug up photos of Lin Ling attending various meetings in the past.

"His jawline, his high nose bridge, his eyes—he's so handsome! I'm falling in love with him."

"I've fallen in love with him. I heard he's only twenty-five. He's so young."

"So young, yet he owns such a large corporation, and he's an orphan who started from scratch."

"Just because he's so handsome, I'd definitely buy a drone from Lingyun Group."

The Zeng family members looked at each other, speechless.

They considered many of the underhanded tricks Lin Ling might use.

But what was unexpected was that the reason the popularity didn't decrease but increased was because Lin Ling was handsome.

This isn't a dirty trick at all; it's simply a straightforward and honest approach.

He crushed the Zeng family's methods simply because he was handsome.

Moreover, the Zeng family's great efforts not only backfired, but also indirectly generated marketing revenue for Lingyun Group, saving them a significant amount of marketing expenses.

Zeng Er's face was initially grim, but then he suddenly beamed with joy: "Great news, great news!"

The Zeng family was stunned, staring at Zeng Fa as if he were an idiot.

How could this be a good thing?

Someone spoke up: "Waiter, have you gone mad with anger?"

"No." Zeng Er's eyes flashed with a cold light: "This is a good thing."

"The higher you fly, the harder you fall. The more smug he is now, the more miserable he will be in a while. Let's let the public opinion ferment for a while longer."
