Chapter 112 Public Opinion Resurfaces in the New Year
The good news brought during the Lunar New Year made Uncle Zhang the lucky charm of Chenzhuang Town. The vibrant and thriving atmosphere allowed Uncle Zhang to fully reveal his true nature as a local dog.

The main thing is that it suits their tastes. The villagers discovered that Uncle Zhang had actually farmed and served in the army, so they considered him one of their own.

Unlike Uncle Zhang, Coach Zhang also had to engage in online battles with people during the Spring Festival, mainly over trivial matters related to video games, which never seemed to end.

The aftermath of last year's verbal battle was still lingering. Although the news was reporting on the nationwide celebration of the New Year on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the annual "anti-pornography and anti-illegal publications" campaign or similar operations during the Spring Festival were slightly different this year.

Several local TV stations are clearly targeting pornography and illegal activities related to "video games," which is completely different from the previous focus on cracking down on video products.

Not to mention printed publications.

"Glass Shard" was implicated because the "Anglo Cup" currently promotes StarCraft, so the picture in the news was of the Zerg from StarCraft.

In short, the content is bloody, violent, pornographic, etc., which is extremely detrimental to the physical and mental health of teenagers.

Coach Zhang knew that as the head coach of "Zhang An Education," he had to warm up when the time came. During the Spring Festival, relying solely on his own "pen-wielding" staff was simply not enough for such an operation.

Mainly, TV stations like Beijing TV and Bao'an TV conducted special interviews with artists and cultural workers, including many well-known directors, screenwriters, singers, and movie stars... all of whom are quite famous.

To be able to pull out one or two people from the "Farewell My Concubine" crew for an interview and ask them about the direction of "purification" of cultural works, that certainly shows their ability.

However, Coach Zhang is strange. He only talks about getting involved in the video game industry, but in reality, he is just running a "computer training class".

There are many network administrators; but you can't put together a complete team of programmers.

Fortunately, Blizzard isn't really "Blizzard Entertainment." Even though it hasn't made much money in China so far, just like Microsoft needs a system platform, Blizzard needs a large player base.

The Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne folder has already been created; a year or two won't make a difference.

Therefore, this wave of public opinion offensive is actually completely ineffective for the "Anglo Cup" and "Glass Shards".

There was no loss.

It's just that his reputation has gotten a bit bad.

Zhang Da'an, a two-time top scorer in the college entrance examination, seemed to have tested Chinese with violence, math with pornography, and English with all sorts of bizarre blood...

Even the official website of "ZA" was attacked, and the homepage was changed into a message board, accusing Zhang Da'an of corrupting social norms and leading young people astray.

This dark humor made Zhang Da'an want to laugh.

Not bro...

You're a hacker, let's just call you a hacker for now, how could you oppose the development of video games?

You must have taken the wrong medicine.

Countless programmers around the world started out as "bad gamers," and now this incredible behavior is happening.

Zhang Da'an simply called the police on a whim regarding these actions, and didn't pay any attention to anything else.

The blog was very lively. Various computer enthusiast forums and game enthusiast sections were all spontaneously maintaining "ZA". Finally, a netizen with the ID "IS-3" left a message for "ZA", saying that he worked in computer security protection and had worked on antivirus software before. He had been late for work at several antivirus software companies.

If "Big Brother An" has certain website maintenance needs, three thousand yuan a month will suffice.

Then this guy with the ID "IS-3" and real name Shen Tu received an interview invitation from "Zhang An Media".

It's called an interview invitation, but it's really just a formality; once you come, you can start working.

Zhang Da'an is essentially recruiting network administrators.

Shen Tu was puzzled as to why it was "Zhang An Media" and not "Zhang An Education". After asking, he learned that "ZA" was operated by "Zhang An Media" because it had internet marketing needs, and it would not be appropriate to put it under "Zhang An Education".

If you have any needs, just call or email "Zhang An Media".

Shen Tu arrived in Shazhou on the sixth day of the first lunar month. He was originally from Shandong Province. He had worked as a "Beijing drifter" and also went south to Bao'an to start a business. After several years, he finally lost all his savings, his parents' savings, and the savings he borrowed from his uncle.

Even though things have come to this, Shen Tu isn't in a hurry to earn money to pay off his debts, because there's no use in being anxious. He just got divorced, and he only has a little over 700 yuan left in his pocket. His most valuable possession is a computer, which he has already left at his parents' house.

My most valuable possessions right now are a down jacket and a leather jacket that I bought before the divorce, both worth over 700 yuan.

High-end, brand-name goods.

"Holy crap, boss, you're really not even twenty years old?"

Upon their first meeting, Shen Tu was not only shocked by Zhang Da'an's age, but even more shocked by the fact that his boss seemed completely oblivious to the attack on his website. How embarrassing!

"Never mind my age, how did you manage to get a ticket for the sixth day of the Lunar New Year?"

"The train I'm on."

"There's no train station in Shazhou either."

I got off in Taihu City.

"You managed to buy a train ticket? You're incredibly resourceful!"

"I was riding in a truck."

"Trucks? Trucks are allowed to carry passengers?"

"No, the checks are very strict. I only managed to sneak into the coal wagon when the opportunity presented itself. If I hadn't been carrying a military overcoat and a blanket, I would have frozen to death the whole way."

"..."

unbelievable.

Zhang Da'an now knew where this guy came from. He never expected that there would be someone even more fierce than a sports student among the programmers.

Why don't you put on a show like "Railway Guerrilla" here?

"Don't worry, boss. I really didn't have any money on me. I was trying to save money, so I hitched a ride on the train. What decent person wouldn't want to take a bus? I really had no other choice, I was broke."

"If you don't come here, where are you planning to go?"

“In Huzhou, I can still make five or six thousand a month. I just don’t want to owe anyone favors, so I’m trying my luck with you, boss. I figure that someone who can found the ‘Ango Cup’ can’t be a bad person.”

"Do I look like a bad person to you?"

"How could someone who pays me three thousand a month be a bad person?"

"..."

Makes sense!
Shen Tu was very relaxed, and it was clear that he had reached a state of mind where he could take things easy.

Zhang Da'an really needs someone like that.

However, there aren't many tasks to assign for the time being. After all, the only thing that happened was that the "ZA" official website was hacked, and the business volume related to computer security protection is almost negligible.

Shen Tu felt he couldn't just come and do nothing, so he mentioned that he had previously co-developed antivirus software with someone, and that if the boss didn't mind, he could sell the antivirus software.

"Don't bother me with things that don't make big money. I make millions a day, and you want me to sell this kind of money-losing stuff? Do you think I have too much money to burn?"

"Well, we have to make use of waste, right?"

"How did you sell antivirus software before?"

"Create a virus first, and then release a dedicated removal tool."

"..."

"If you weren't caught, then you're fine."

"..."

Zhang Da'an suddenly realized that this guy was actually quite honest.

"Forget about selling antivirus software. If you're interested, just modify the file, make it smaller, and put it up for free on the company's official website for everyone to download."

"It's free."

"What else can we do? Since we can't make any money anyway, we might as well offer it for free."

"All right……"
