The attic connects the past and present; I became a tycoon and got rich overnight!

Chapter 104 The Frenzy of Public Opinion

The deposit, which had increased 66 times, arrived in my account precisely at 9:00 AM the following day.

Song Youan stared blankly at the long string of numbers in her balance for a long time.

More than 20 billion yuan! If she deposited it in the bank, she wouldn't have to do anything; she could live off the interest for the rest of her life.

In reality, her July issue, a collaboration with "Fashion Roundup," was officially released at 9 a.m. today.

Just when I thought I could finally relax, I obediently turned on my computer and used my media account to share the relevant posts about this collaboration.

Fashion Whirlwind also took action, spending money to buy trending topics and splash screen ads on various apps with large user bases such as Weibo, Douyin, and Xiaohongshu, to generate momentum for this already highly anticipated collaboration.

The graduation project that had piqued the curiosity of netizens has finally been unveiled to the public, revealing its mysterious veil.

Song Youan's latest Weibo post quickly garnered over 10,000 comments.

"I bought the magazine offline. To be honest, the design does have its merits, but maybe my expectations were too high. It didn't really wow me."

"I think it's amazing, I love it. This design would look even better on a runway model."

"I think there's nothing wrong with the design; it's futuristic and avant-garde."

"Following up from the comment above, I understand why QG wanted to plagiarize this design. It really fits QG's positioning, but it doesn't quite match Fashion Whirlwind. Isn't Fashion Whirlwind always playing with retro Chinese style fashion?"

"I think this fashion comeback is a huge success. Even though it doesn't match the style of her own magazine, she immediately sought out Sister Youan for a collaboration, showing her support and solidarity. This has instantly boosted her popularity among casual observers!"

"My favorability towards Fashion Reversal has increased by 10086!"

……

The internet is a melting pot of opinions, with all sorts of voices, good and bad, that Song You'an accepts without question. She knows that's how the internet age works; once you gain exposure, all sorts of different opinions will inevitably emerge, and there's no point in resisting them, you can only accept them.

QG and Liang Bei will naturally be dragged out and criticized again. Liang Bei even sent Song Youan screenshots of the negative comments he received on his social media.

Song Youan simply replied: "Let's stick to the facts. In this matter alone, this is what you should bear."

Liang Bei replied with a forced smile emoji.

Regardless of the circumstances, Song Youan's collaboration with "Fashion Whirlwind" was undoubtedly a success, achieving remarkable results in both topicality and sales.

Before noon, while the related trending topics were still high, the July issue's offline sales of 500,000 copies were completely sold out. The second batch of physical magazines was only available for pre-order through the Fashion Whirlwind website, and the number of pre-orders exceeded one million in just one hour.

The classmates sent their congratulations in the class group, and Xu Ziyang, who had been quiet for only two days, also sent a WeChat message.

"Congratulations, Yuan! I've ordered a thousand copies to support you."

Looking at the message on her phone, Song Youan saw that the other party had actually spent money, so she replied with a symbolic "thank you".

Xu Ziyang immediately took advantage of the situation, saying, "Such a joyous occasion shouldn't we celebrate? Are you free today? Let me treat you to dinner!"

Song Youan immediately rolled her eyes to the sky. This isn't a celebration with you!
Just then, Yan Fei suddenly called. Song You'an was in a particularly good mood today, so her tone was exceptionally cheerful as she answered the phone: "Hello."

"What are you laughing at? Stop laughing and watch the video I shared with you." Yan Fei urged impatiently.

Song Youan sensed something was off about his tone and frowned: "What video?"

"I can't explain it clearly. You'll see when you see it. It's utter nonsense." Yan Fei was clearly very angry, speaking through gritted teeth.

Song Youan hung up the phone, and before she could even watch the video Yan Fei sent, Cheng Muzi, whose chat was pinned to the top, sent her several links in a row.

"Yuan, look at this! What kind of mess is this?"

Song Youan clicked on the link, which redirected her to Weibo. The headline proclaimed Song Youan's unknown side: being chauffeured around by a Mercedes-Benz boss was actually a kept woman!
It also included several photos, which were clearly taken secretly from an angle.

The person in the photo is indeed her, and the one referred to as the Mercedes owner is Yan Fei.

Because Song Youan is extremely popular online today, many people are searching for her name. This Weibo post was quickly discovered by netizens and the comments quickly exceeded two thousand, and the trending search ranking also rose sharply.

Marketing accounts on various platforms, sensing the potential for traffic, quickly compiled the story into videos. Later, they used AI voiceovers to embellish and exaggerate the story, with some claiming that Song Youan frequented various nightclubs and worked as a socialite during her university years.

Some say she has many suitors and is dating several men at the same time.

Some even said that the Mercedes owner who made the allegations had a family, and that Song Youan was a mistress who broke up someone else's family.

In short, they start with a picture and then make up the rest. As long as they can attract traffic, these marketing accounts are masters at profiting from people's misfortunes.

Song Youan didn't open the comment sections of any related marketing accounts because she knew those comments wouldn't be pleasant. It was obvious that someone had deliberately done this, and they had specifically chosen today to expose and spread rumors, just to take advantage of her high traffic today to knock her into the mud.

This was a long-planned conspiracy.

She quickly calmed herself down and dialed Chi Yu's number.

Chi Yu doesn't usually surf the internet, so he was unaware of this matter. However, when he learned about it from Song You'an over the phone, his expression became even more gloomy.

"That's utter nonsense. Someone is trying to frame you by using public opinion."

Song Youan naturally understood. She instructed Chi Yu, "Notify Lanting's legal department to immediately collect evidence online. Preserve evidence of all marketing accounts that have forwarded or commented on this matter more than 500 times, as well as the original Weibo post. He can't escape. I'm going to call the police right now."

She has never been a pushover, especially when it comes to damage to her reputation, she will not back down.

She will not let any marketing account that tries to profit from this media frenzy escape her; she will make these marketing accounts burn themselves.

At this time, negative news about her had already occupied the top spots on major apps.

Before setting off, Song Youan also posted a brief statement on her account, stating succinctly that everything was fabricated and framed, that she had already gone to the police station to report the case, and that she had preserved all relevant evidence screenshots online. She said she would never tolerate or settle this matter, and that she would announce any further developments to the public as soon as possible.

After issuing the statement, she logged out of all the software and notified Yan Fei to come pick her up immediately to go to the police station.
