Since we are both reborn, of course I would choose the rich woman!

Chapter 119: People are such despicable things (7k subscription required)

Lu Yao can control his emotions and expressions very well. Even the tone and pauses when speaking in front of the camera have been rehearsed in his mind.

So when he walked to the front of the stage from behind the scenes and took the microphone, he attracted everyone's attention with just one sentence.

In front of the camera, Lv Yao said to everyone at the scene: "I think the friends at the scene and the netizens who are watching the live broadcast should be familiar with me."

He smiled at the camera and said, "I am the scumbag who has been making headlines online recently and has been accused of harassing female employees at Huasheng Life."

The self-deprecating opening made many people present and watching the live broadcast burst into laughter.

Then Lu Yao paced in front of the stage and asked everyone to think: "Have you ever thought about this question? Why are there so many discussions about Huasheng Life and even about me, a scumbag, online recently?"

"I looked back and it seems that at the beginning everyone was discussing whether putting highly educated beauties at the front desk cashier was a waste of talent."

Following Lu Yao's question, many netizens behind the screens at the scene suddenly woke up and started to think.

Yes ha.

It seems that this was indeed the problem at the beginning.

Immediately afterwards, a lot of information flows on the Internet began to push various types of bloggers to come in and argue about this issue.

After Huasheng Life gave an explanation of Chen Xueying's career advancement path, it launched a fierce attack on Lu Yao himself. The information on the Internet seemed to hope that everyone would think that Huasheng Life was a place where filth and dirt were hidden through Lu Yao.

It was not until Huasheng Life employee Chen Xueying personally exposed the scandal of Huasheng Life.

Lu Yao was like a very patient teacher. In the square where the cold wind was blowing but the emotions were high, he used patient and persuasive words to lead the audiences on site and online to think together.

When the issue of Chen Xueying came up, Lu Yao faced the scene, stared at the camera and asked, "So, did I really do anything to infringe upon Chen Xueying, a female employee of Huasheng Life?"

When Lu Yao took the initiative to show up and start to explain, those netizens who believed in the previous accusations began to worry.

Those who were originally skeptical suddenly understood.

Those who already believed in Lu Yao, especially his fans, began to celebrate happily online, and the comment sections under the major live broadcast media were also frantically refreshing various comments.

"I knew our Donkey Brother was innocent! No, it's our Donkey Brother who doesn't need it at all!"

"There is absolutely no way that Chen Xueying can get enough of Brother Lu! According to Brother Lu's character, even if he stayed in a nunnery for a few days, he would be able to make the little nun fall in love with him."

"No, brothers! Is this how you use the word 'roots'? Wait, that doesn't seem to be wrong."

"A pun!"

Fun People and Abstract Brother are having fun by leaving comments under the live broadcast media.

But this was obviously not enough, and they all turned to the accounts of those farm manure makers and the homepages of the internet celebrities who had previously attacked Lu Yao, and started to curse and spit at those who had previously criticized Lu Yao.

"Hey! My brother Donkey dares to come out and tell his story. Don't be scared, Sun Ze, come out and confront me!"

"Hey fat guy, weren't you shouting happily before?"

Facing the online violence from Lu Yao's supporters, Tian Yuan Internet celebrity still insisted: "If he says so, then it is true? Chen Xueying will definitely come out and give an explanation later!"

It has to be said that the farm manure machines are really tenacious.

Many girls who have self-respect and love often suffer mental breakdowns when facing cyber violence, and may even be foolish enough to use the weight of their own lives to prove their innocence.

But the Pastoral Girl won’t.

Cyber ​​violence cannot kill them. If the degree of cyber violence does not affect their vital interests, they can still stubbornly argue with netizens.

When their vital interests are threatened, they will use Yu Yu syndrome to shield themselves.

They would say that they were under a lot of pressure from online bullying, and that their physical and mental state was terrible, but in the end they just didn't want to die.

The saying that a scourge will last a thousand years is fully verified in their case.

Lu Yao knew the nature of these people very well, and he also anticipated how these rural bitches would be stubborn online, so Lu Yao said to the camera: "It's useless for me to answer this question myself, why don't we ask Miss Chen Xueying to tell us in person what's going on."

As soon as Lu Yao finished speaking, an employee of Huasheng Life came to the podium with Chen Xueying, whose face looked even more haggard than Lu Yao's.

Rong Nianqing even considerately stood up and gave up the seat to Chen Xueying.

Chen Xueying looked at the cameras below the podium and the huge crowd below, and her head began to feel dizzy again.

In that huge crowd, Chen Xueying saw many of her former colleagues staring at her with strange, sharp eyes.

She felt frightened by those stares!
Lu Yao came to the front of the stage and handed the microphone to Chen Xueying, saying in a gentle voice: "Tell everyone what happened yourself."

In the bitter cold wind, Chen Xueying's lips were pale and her face was bloodless.

She took the phone woodenly, trying to get her blank brain to work. After a minute of silence, she said, "I'm Chen Xueying. The information I posted online before was all false and untrue. I was blinded by greed and took money to post it."

"I'm sorry to Mr. Lu Yao for causing him to lose his job."

"I'm sorry to the netizens for deceiving everyone. I'm even more sorry to Huasheng Life——"

As she spoke, tears as big as beans fell from Chen Xueying's eyes one by one: "Huasheng Life was so good to me, but I slandered her and framed her just for money! I'm sorry! I know I was wrong!"

Chen Xueying’s personal experience made the employees of Huasheng Life off the court indignant.

They all pointed at Chen Xueying with contempt:

"She's so beautiful, but I didn't expect her to have such a vicious heart."

"You think you have a high level of education? All the books you read are useless!"

"If I were her parents, I would be so embarrassed!"

The buzzing discussions of the crowd seemed to be magnified countless times on Chen Xueying's fragile nerves. Every word hit Chen Xueying's heart like a heavy hammer, making Chen Xueying lower her head in shame.

The trend of public opinion on the Internet has become fierce again, and many netizens who were originally passers-by have become fans of Lu Yao and Huasheng Life.

The number of followers of Lu Yao’s personal account and Huasheng Life’s official account began to surge.

These netizens who changed their stance rushed into the Weibo posts of those stubborn bloggers and started to post crazily:

"Okay, okay, now you guys are asking for it and getting it, hahahahaha!"

"Do you have internet access in your village? Can I help you top up your data?"

"Now Chen Xueying has come out to explain herself. Isn't that great?"

The fun people and the abstract brothers were so happy! Lv Yao was like their best teammate who they had never met but had a mutual understanding with. He almost led their rhythm and provided them with weapons and ammunition.

Many people and abstract think that——

"Oh shit!"

"I've never felt so good when I was spitting at people before!"

"It's a wonderful feeling when heaven and earth are on the same side! It's absolutely wonderful."

But even at this point, there are still many rural bitches who are stubborn and say that Chen Xueying's condition looked very bad and she must have been threatened and forced by Huasheng Life.

This group of rural bitches were still passionately confronting netizens, and Lu Yao said again in the live broadcast: "I know that even so, many netizens may still think there is something shady going on, so I have collected evidence for everyone."

As he spoke, Lu Yao played the video of Chen Xueying collecting money on the big screen outside Huasheng Life.

As soon as this killer move was used, the Pastoral Girls who had been passionately confronting Lu Yao’s fans just now fell silent.

They began to delete posts silently, and then started to play dead. No matter how netizens tagged them, they refused to make any response.

The atmosphere on the Internet suddenly became joyful. Many Fun Brothers and Abstract People rushed directly to those pastoral accounts and got close to them. As for those dog-licking and warm-hearted bloggers who tried to infiltrate the bitch circle and serve dogs as dogs, the Fun Brothers and Abstract People did not let them go either.

A little bit of cyberbullying is not enough.

Among those who can have fun online, there are masters like Brother Abstract who can directly “flesh out” the owner of the account.

So Lu Yao also said to the camera: "Actually, I personally don't care about the online public opinion storm and the smear campaign against me. I'm not a good person anyway."

There was a burst of laughter at the scene.

Lu Yao said in this cheerful atmosphere: "But I can't understand why they want to discredit such a conscientious company? Even after such a good company fired me, they are unwilling to let such a good company go!"

When he said these last words, his haggard and tired face was filled with indignation.

This also made the originally cheerful atmosphere suddenly solemn.

Then Lu Yao invited the journalism blogger Zhou Xuanxuan to come out and let her expose that someone was paying her to deliberately discredit Lu Yao and Huasheng Life online.

After playing all the cards in his hand, Lu Yao said to the camera: "So I'm appealing to all netizens here. If you can dig out the slanderer behind this incident, you can give all the information to Huasheng Life!"

"I believe that the Rong General Manager of Huasheng Life will definitely investigate the case to the end. Part of the compensation will be given as a reward to the netizens who provided the clues. With the remaining compensation, Huasheng Life will set up a charity fund to support public welfare!"

After Lu Yao finished speaking, he handed the microphone to Rong Nianqing.

Rong Nianqing took the microphone and stood behind the desk and promised solemnly: "I think Mr. Lu Yao's proposal is very good."

"If you have any clues, please provide them to us, no matter if it takes one year, three years or ten years! Huasheng Life will investigate this incident to the end, and the compensation proceeds will be used to set up a charity fund as Mr. Lu Yao said, to help those in need!"

This is Rong Nianqing's guarantee, and also the guarantee of Rong Nianqing's family.

Seeing that Huasheng Life was so serious, those Internet promoters who had received money and were pushing the issue from behind the scenes panicked.

Even those pastoral female bloggers who saw the traffic and wanted to take advantage of the popularity were panicked.

No!

Do you play so cruelly?

It’s fine if we’re cyberbullied, but now they’re directly asking us to confront them offline?

Isn’t this bullying?

After using the Internet for so long, many people who use it have discovered that the Internet actually has no memory. So those paid water army accounts, or small Internet celebrities who try to get traffic, originally planned to get away with it by pretending to be dead.

As long as they pretend to be dead and don't respond, no one will remember this matter after a year or two.

By then, they will have accounts with tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of followers and can take business orders and promotions and still make small money.

But now!
As a company as big as Huasheng Life, do you want to be real to me offline?
This is not giving us any chance to survive at all!
After Rong Nianqing announced that he would get to the bottom of the matter, many internet celebrity accounts that had been pretending to be dead online in an attempt to get away with it began to initiate the cancellation process.

Accounts with tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of followers quickly disappeared on the Internet like bubbles.

This was the Internet ecosystem in 2013. Accounts with hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of followers were considered quite valuable.

This wave of online to offline truth directly caused heavy losses to many bloggers who followed the trend.

In the end, this online public opinion against Huasheng Life ended with Huasheng Life's great victory.

In this wave of public opinion, Huasheng Life not only achieved a victory in terms of word-of-mouth, but the number of fans on Huasheng Life’s official WeChat account continued to break through in just a few days, from tens of thousands of followers at the beginning to more than two million followers in one fell swoop.

With such a large number of fans combined with Huasheng Life’s reputation and services, Huasheng Life has a good foundation for its future Internet journey before it even begins.

In Lu Yao's vision, the real focus of Huasheng Life is not local supermarkets.

Instead, it integrates offline resources and quality, covers the whole country through the Internet, and covers health and safety, food safety and even drug safety. Even in ten years, there is still a lot to be done. This wave is not only profitable for Huasheng Life.

The number of followers of Lu Yao's Weibo account has exceeded two million and is heading towards three million.

Even several marketing accounts under Lu Yao's MCN company have gained a lot of fans among netizens because of their "courage" to stand on Lu Yao's side and dare to "tell the truth". The number of fans of several marketing accounts has exceeded 200,000.

With this wave of Internet traffic, Lu Yao not only enjoyed himself to his heart's content, he even felt a little full.

At the end of the press conference, the big shot who had been sitting next to Rong Nianqing also said some very important official words and highly praised the service and attitude of Huasheng Life.

The attitude expressed by Huasheng Life today has put the hearts of Huasheng Life employees at ease. They no longer have to worry about losing the good jobs they just got.

After the press conference, Rong Nianqing took the lead in arranging the crowd at the scene to leave Huasheng Life Plaza in an orderly and civilized manner, and then was surrounded by various media.

Today, the popularity of the live broadcast alone has remained high online. The number of users, comments and reposts on the platform during the live broadcast are two or three times the usual amount.

This made various media realize that Huasheng Life itself is a huge traffic point.

If only we could get them to do an interview!
Then their recent ratings, online click rates, and forwarding rates must be very high.

Therefore, after asking some questions, various media outlets have been trying their best to invite Rong Nianqing, hoping that she can accept their interview invitation.

Rong Nianqing was very experienced in dealing with this kind of situation, and she shook off the group of media with just a few words.

Then Rong Nianqing walked through the crowd and disappeared from everyone's sight.

"call--"

Just dealing with the media for a while, Rong Nianqing felt a little overwhelmed.

During this period, most of the public opinion pressure and public opinion operations were actually handled by Lu Yao. How tired must he be to deal with so much information every day?

When she saw Lu Yao walking out from behind the scenes with a haggard face, Rong Nianqing felt a little distressed.

Rong Nianqing looked around but didn't see Lu Yao, so she took out her phone and sent a message: "Where are you?"

Lu Yao quickly replied: "Inside the mall."

Rong Nianqing put away her phone and walked in through the main entrance, where she saw Lu Yao smoking in front of a counter with a lot of burn marks on it.

In the empty shopping mall, Lu Yao, wearing a black windbreaker, stood in front of a pile of burnt ruins with his back to her, giving people an inexplicable visual impact.

Rong Nianqing went over and said, "Smoking in a mall is too much."

Lu Yao smiled: "What about the fine?"

Rong Nianqing smiled and said, "You, please smoke less."

Lu Yao exhaled a puff of smoke: "I haven't closed my eyes for nearly forty hours. If I don't smoke a cigarette, I can fall asleep while standing."

Rong Nianqing pursed her lips: "Thank you for your hard work."

Lu Yao put out the cigarette butt, put it in a tissue and stuffed it into his pocket: "I am also a shareholder of Huasheng Life, so it's my duty. Have you found the mastermind behind this fire?"

Rong Nianqing said: "The arsonists have been found. They confessed that they were two senior executives from Tesco Mart and Xinrun Shopping Mall. They said that their two malls are relatively close to us, and they were worried that they would have no business during the New Year's Day and Spring Festival, so they set the fire to disrupt us."

Lu Yao laughed: "It's a bit far-fetched."

Rong Nianqing also smiled and said, "Yes, the real mastermind behind the scenes has sent me a message. They really want to meet you."

Lu Yao became interested: "Oh? Let's go then."

He and Rong Nianqing walked out of the mall, but before they got out of the door, Chen Xueying pushed away the people outside and rushed in.

As soon as Chen Xueying came in, she grabbed Lu Yao's arm and said, "Boss Lu, you said you would no longer pursue my responsibility for defamation, but just now the legal representative of Huasheng Life came to me and said they wanted to sue me! Are you not keeping your word?"

Lu Yao pretended to be surprised and looked at Rong Nianqing: "Is this true?"

Rong Nianqing cooperated with Lu Yao's acting, and said coldly with a stern face: "Yes, it is your personal decision not to pursue her criminal responsibility, but Huasheng Life has been smeared so badly and the impact is so great, the company will definitely pursue it to the end."

Lu Yao said helplessly: "Ms. Chen, look, when I was still working here, Mr. Rong was my boss."

"Now that I've resigned, I have even less say."

He wanted Chen Xueying to let go, but Chen Xueying held on to Lu Yao tightly as if she was grasping at a lifeline: "You said you wouldn't pursue the matter, please beg for mercy on my behalf! I beg you, I beg you!"

Chen Xueying grabbed Lu Yao's arm, knelt on the ground, and cried out at the top of her lungs.

The legal representative of Huasheng Life not only wants to sue her and make her bear criminal responsibility, but also wants her to pay Huasheng Life a high price for reputation loss.

Not only did she not earn anything from this trip, but she had to go to jail and pay a large sum of money!
How can she live like this?
Seeing that Chen Xueying wanted to continue to make trouble, Rong Nianqing planned to ask someone to drag Chen Xueying away.

But Lu Yao waved his hand, squatted down and whispered beside Chen Xueying: "Miss Chen, do you know? Our Rong Zong and I have high expectations for you. We have an e-commerce department, which is an important direction for future development."

"After you are transferred in later, you will be able to become a top anchor soon with the popularity you have accumulated at the cash register."

Lu Yao's tone was particularly regretful: "At that time, three million was probably only your monthly commission income."

Chen Xueying was stunned for a moment, her whole body was numb: "But you didn't tell me."

Lu Yao continued with a gentle smile, "This is the company's overall strategy. And don't you realize that you've become popular on the Internet platform a little too smoothly? How could you not realize it?"

"And what's more. Even if you come directly to Mr. Rong and explain everything when you get the money, Huasheng Life will be able to take the initiative, and your future development will be better."

Lu Yao sighed and said, "But you chose to discredit a company that had such high hopes for you!"

"You!"

Lu Yao pulled his arm out of the dazed Chen Xueying's hand, patted her on the shoulder and said unhappily: "You ruined such a good future with just one thought!"

Chen Xueying's head was buzzing.

She felt like the whole world was rapidly moving away from her, and she didn't even know when Lu Yao and Rong Nianqing left.

When they arrived outside the mall, Rong Nianqing asked someone to bring Chen Xueying out, and she led Lu Yao into the shiny black luxury MPV.

When they got in the car, Rong Nianqing said with a half-smile, "You are so mean."

Lu Yao lay in the comfortable airline seat and sighed contentedly: "How can you say that?"

Rong Nianqing said calmly: "Chen Xueying will probably live with great guilt and regret for the rest of her life. You not only want to kill her, but also destroy her heart."

Lu Yao narrowed his eyes and said vaguely: "Killing people and destroying their hearts? How terrible, but I am not that kind of person."

He looked out the car window at the square and streets that had gradually become the same as usual, and said with a smile: "Chen Xueying will not live in guilt and regret for the rest of her life, it will be fine after a while——"

"People are such despicable creatures that they get used to anything."

These are the words written by Dostoevsky in his book, which Rong Nianqing has read.

But she had never had such a real understanding as Lu Yao.

This guy seems to be a complete pessimist?
Rong Nianqing withdrew his gaze from Lu Yao and asked, "Do you know the news media "Xinwangshe"? "

Lu Yao had an impression of this new online company. It seemed that a big shot in the journalism industry had jumped out of his original organization and focused on building an Internet media platform that was dedicated to Internet news.

As the Internet becomes more and more developed, the outspoken Xinwangshe has gained a considerable number of fans on the Internet, and has a certain degree of popularity on Weibo, public accounts and even external networks.

When the first year of the domestic Internet begins, Xinwangshe will become a giant comparable to traditional media, and will be able to compete with several media giants on the Internet.

Lu Yao nodded and said, "I remember it. What's wrong?"

Rong Nianqing said: "They want to invite you to do an interview with me, will you go?"

Lu Yao smiled: "Is this a request or a negotiation?"

Rong Nianqing smiled and said, "Can't it be a request?"

Lu Yao put on an exaggerated smile and replied: "I can't afford that. If you want me to go, then I'll go. Anyway, this is also an opportunity to show off."

Rong Nianqing corrected, "It's a very formal opportunity to show my face."

It seems that Rong Nianqing attaches great importance to this interview.

Lu Yao nodded and said, "I understand. I will be ready."

Rong Nianqing nodded, and then said to the driver in the front row, "Let's go to Jinpeng Building." Then she said to Lu Yao, "Take a nap. I'll call you when we get there."

Lu Yao nodded and soon fell asleep.

Seeing that Lu Yao fell asleep so quickly, Rong Nianqing took out her usual wool blanket from the car and covered Lu Yao with it, then said to the driver in front: "Try to drive slower."

"Okay lady."

……

"Lv Yao, wake up."

Lu Yao woke up when Rong Nianqing called him softly. He rubbed his face and felt that he had slept comfortably, so he asked, "How long have I slept?"

Rong Nianqing smiled and said, "Less than an hour."

what?
Jinpeng Building is not too far from Huasheng Life Plaza. Even if you drive very slowly, you can get there in half an hour. But this time it took almost an hour?
Lu Yao smiled at Rong Nianqing and said, "Thank you very much."

Rong Nianqing even took a pack of cigarettes and handed it over: "Would you like a cigarette?"

Have to have.

Lu Yao took the cigarette and asked, "Are you smoking in your car?"

Rong Nianqing smiled and said, "Just draw it."

Although she would never let anyone smoke in her car, rules were... well, made to be broken.

Lu Yao was not polite either. He lit up a cigarette and took a few puffs. His mind, which had been a little distracted just now, quickly became clear.

When there were only two bites left, Lu Yao opened the car door and got out. The cold wind from the south with a hint of femininity instantly blew towards him, instantly restoring Lu Yao's brain to its best state.

Lu Yao straightened his clothes and said, "Let's go."

Rong Nianqing came to Lu Yao and said, "Okay."

When Rong Nianqing's car drove into the parking lot of Jinpeng Building, the two people who invited Rong Nianqing over were already waiting in the lobby of Jinpeng Building.

The two people, a man and a woman, greeted Rong Nianqing warmly when they saw her coming over: "Miss Rong, we meet again."

Rong Nianqing was in the middle, and she extended her hand to introduce the man, "This is Wang Mingzhao, the son of the chairman of the Jinpeng Group, and currently the general manager of the Jinpeng Shopping Mall."

Then Rong Nianqing introduced another tall woman, who was about 1.78 meters tall, with a round face and full lips, and said, "This is Tao Siyu, the daughter of the chairman of Xinbai Trading Group. She is currently the general manager of Xinbai Plaza."

Lu Yao shook hands with them respectively: "Nice to meet you, I am Lu Yao."

Tao Siyu looked Lu Yao up and down, then said with a playful smile: "So, you are the master of creating momentum around Miss Rong."

Lu Yao also laughed and said, "So, you were the ones who set the fire at Huasheng Life Plaza?"
