Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 152 You can't risk your life for money!
Lin Lang and Shen An'an have practically come clean.

However, Lin Lang was reluctant to admit it.

Although there are many unspoken rules in stock market operations, once they are brought into the open, even he will find himself in a passive position.

Besides, he wasn't really that amazing; it was just a prediction about the future.

He knew that there were still key players in Yaxia Auto, and he also knew that Zhonggong Education's backdoor listing would definitely succeed. Based on this, he made a series of moves.

He couldn't have done this if he hadn't grasped this core concept.

On Saturday, Lin Lang held a meeting at Dayu Media.

The main reason is that he will be going to Shanghai after next week, and he needs to make arrangements in advance regarding some company matters.

For example, when it came to operating the official WeChat account, since Gao Yu hadn't signed a contract with the company, it was the best option for Lin Lang to entrust it to her.

There's not much to do, really. It's just a matter of digging out some old copy and reposting it.

Lin Lang has been working on this for over a month, and has already written twenty or thirty lead generation copy, which is more than enough.

Next is the data on the collaborating influencers. The influencer who has been collaborating with us recently is the singer from Yunshang Media. Through a song at Yun Yiyi's wedding, he gained more than three million fans in less than a month. Recently, his traffic has stabilized. He releases a video every two days, and it usually gets tens of thousands of likes.

This is a matter for Yunshang Media, and Yun Yiyi will take care of it, so he doesn't need to worry about it anymore.

Lin Lang brought Lin Hui to Gao Yu and said, "Sister Gao, just tell him what to do. Although he's a bit slow to react, he's quite capable as long as you give him detailed instructions..."

Lin Lang couldn't find a suitable position for his cousin Lin Hui, so he just moved around wherever he was needed, doing odd jobs at the company.

This is also a good thing for Lin Hui. After get off work, he can go to the internet cafe to play games with some of his old friends. He used to be so bored working in the factory.

"Mr. Lin, are you going to be away for a while?" Gao Yu asked.

After all, Lin Lang didn't say anything, he just made some arrangements.

"Yes, it's mainly some external shooting content. Our company's main collaborator, Mi Xiaofan, has encountered a bottleneck in traffic. After all, it's a small county town, so it's difficult to come up with good content. We'll take her to various cities to shoot some footage."

"Then... how long will it take to get back?"

"Very soon, I will send the manuscript back to Sister Gao on time."

Over this period of time, Lin Lang felt that Gao Yu's overall planning ability was also very strong, and he desperately needed such talent.

After all, there aren't many people in the entire county who get into Tsinghua University, so you can imagine how difficult it is to recruit a Tsinghua graduate.

Lin Lang wanted to try to keep Gao Yu completely, and he was open to discussing equity and other matters.

……

The news of the "frequent flyer" gradually spread among stock market investors.

All sorts of gossip emerged one after another.

"There's an idiot here who listened to the nonsense online, maxed out his leverage to speculate in stocks, lost everything, and jumped off a building."

"He's from my hometown. I heard he's worth tens of millions. He used to be so arrogant when he came back to the village..."

"I heard that he was scammed by a female live streamer?"

"No one knows the inside story better than me, because I was in that group, and everyone was set up by Shen An'an."

Who is Shen An'an?

"You can find out who the anchors in the financial news section are by searching for them yourself."

As the situation unfolded, by Saturday, more and more people flooded Shen An'an's comment section, which was filled with all sorts of content.

Some were hearsay, some were firsthand accounts with unwavering conviction, and some were directly involved...

Some people even posted videos online showing their own losses and berated Shen An'an for losing money.

Before we knew it, the topic had become a hot topic.

Shen An'an's account saw a surge in followers.

Originally, Shen An'an had never been able to break out of her niche, after all, the finance sector was a small field with a pitifully small number of followers.

But this time it involved jumping off a building, attracting a large number of onlookers.

Because of the special nature of the event and the small size of the group, it fermented for a day on Saturday before finally exploding on Sunday, forming a small trending topic on the Internet.

Even a minor trending topic is an extremely powerful force in the financial sector.

Shen An'an gained over 50,000 followers overnight. She had worked hard for two months before, and only gained a total of 80,000 followers.

However, many people who didn't know the truth criticized her.

Lin Lang received a message from Shen An'an while he was filming at Yun Yiyi's place on Sunday.

"Did anyone really die?"

Lin Lang was still unaware of what was going on, since he had started filming here on Saturday afternoon and hadn't paid much attention to anything else.

Upon seeing Shen An'an's message, he didn't reply immediately. He couldn't very well ask what had happened; that would make it seem like he didn't care about her at all.

His first thought was what news was circulating online, so he opened Shen An'an's homepage.

After discovering the surge in Shen An'an's followers, I immediately went to the comment section of her latest video.

Amidst more than three thousand comments and a jumble of miscellaneous content, Lin Lang still managed to summarize the problem.

It's nothing more than a stock trader performing a trapeze act, and then netizens started spouting all sorts of conspiracy theories, saying that Shen An'an's side caused someone's death.

At this point, he replied, "The news might not even be true; it's probably just someone deliberately stirring up trouble. Besides, even if the news is true, it's not you who will kill them, but their own greed."

After Yaxia Auto changed hands, it left itself ample opportunity to retreat.

They haven't hit the daily limit down for a whole week. With such huge profits before, they could have taken their profits and left any day they ran.

Even with leverage, five consecutive days of market reversals would be enough time to exit.

If someone can be wiped out in this situation, they are basically a complete gambler, and a brainless one at that.

They're the kind of people who can't even admit the most basic principle of accepting defeat.

"I will no longer post videos."

Shen An'an replied.

“No problem. Without An Shen’s guidance, they’ll be the ones who suffer.”

"I am not an anesthetist!"

"Yes, I understand. If you say yes, it means no, and if you say no, it means yes."

"?????"

"Don't worry, it's nothing. How about I treat you to lunch?"

"Okay, where are you? I'll come find you."

"It's in Xinglan No. 1 Courtyard."

"Huh? I'm here too..."

"Then wait a moment, I'll pick you up from your door after I'm done here."

"okay."

Shen An'an immediately got up and started tidying up.

She had only been back for two days. Her father needed to go back to the county town to take care of some things, so she and her mother naturally came back with him.

Chen Lan has been paying close attention to Shen An'an's situation, especially after the incident escalated last night, when Shen An'an's comment section was flooded by all sorts of people.

Early in the morning, she had been observing Shen An'an discreetly. When she called Shen An'an to eat breakfast, she could clearly sense that Shen An'an was in a bad mood.

Not long after, Shen An'an got up to wash and changed into a new outfit.

A light gray tracksuit, which I just bought for her a few days ago, since the weather has gotten colder.

Shen An'an herself doesn't like to wear overly mature or flashy styles; all her clothes are basically mainstream styles.

Chen Lan asked calmly, "An'an, are you getting ready to go out?"

"Yes, I made plans to have lunch with a friend at noon."

"Which friend? Ningning?"

"No, if it were Sister Bing, I would have said it directly. It's just that you have a lot of misunderstandings about him, so I don't want to say it and make you unhappy."

"That's Lin Lang?"

"I didn't say that, you just guessed. Anyway, I've already agreed to have lunch with him, so don't stop me."

Chen Lan smiled and said, "Okay, okay, lunch is no problem. I'll drive you there later."

"No need, he'll come to the door to meet me later."

Chen Lan could sense Shen An'an's heartfelt joy.

During this time, she gradually became curious about Lin Lang.

Because I had never seen it before, I had only heard about it from various people.

According to her husband, Lin Lang was a liar, a playboy who ran a media company and spent all his time hanging out with women.

As for Shen An'an, Lin Lang is an invaluable friend; she has never met anyone like him in all these years.

With that in mind, she busied herself with some chores in the yard.

Around 10:30, she saw a car pull up in front of the villa, and then she opened the door and walked out with a smile.

Upon reaching the car, he asked, "Is this Lin Lang? An'an hasn't come out yet. Would you like to come in and sit for a while?"

Looking at the beautiful young woman, Lin Lang felt she resembled Shen An'an somewhat, so he quickly got out of the car and called out, "Hello, Auntie, I'm Lin Lang. Shen An'an will be down soon, so I won't get in."

Chen Lan said, "Actually, I mainly want to say a few words to you. An'an hasn't been in a good mood these past two days, and her family isn't very at ease with her. If An'an is upset about anything, don't take it to heart."

"Definitely not. Auntie, you're talking about Shen An'an being cyberbullied, right? We're also looking for a solution to that."

"So what are your thoughts?"

“Our company has relevant marketing accounts, and we will start explaining the cause and effect of the matter online tonight, so that we can at least stand on moral ground.”

"But when someone dies, where is morality?"

“Auntie, death doesn’t mean there’s no problem, nor does it mean you’re a victim. In my opinion, the victim this time is Shen An’an. People with ulterior motives have subjected Shen An’an to cyberbullying. Our company will definitely seek justice for Shen An’an.”

Lin Lang couldn't say whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.

The advantage is that Shen An'an now has the potential to break out of her niche.

The downside is that he worries Shen An'an might not be able to withstand the online bullying.

The cyberbullying will definitely continue for a few more days. Two hours ago, Shen An'an was already at her breaking point and said she didn't want to continue updating videos.

Lin Lang wanted to find out Shen An'an's true thoughts by having this meal today.

Chen Lan was speechless. "I'm relieved to hear you say that. After all, we don't understand the internet. Her father doesn't know about this yet. If he did, he would be terrified. He cherishes his daughter so much."

“Auntie, you can talk to Mr. Shen. Our company will take responsibility for this matter and will not allow Shen An’an to have any problems.”

At this moment, Shen An'an had already come out.

"Lin Lang, how did you get here so fast?"

Shen An'an thought she was already very quick; from receiving the message to coming out, it only took about five minutes.

"I live right next door to you."

"Huh? Is Qin Haiyang's house next door?"

"Yes, I was filming a video over there."

"What are you filming?"

"It's just some everyday family stuff. Shall we go now?"

"Let's go... Goodbye, Mom!"

"Goodbye, Auntie."

Chen Lan said helplessly, "An'an, don't stay out too late. If it's inconvenient for you to come back, call me and I'll come pick you up."

"Okay, I'll be back in a bit."

Chen Lan watched the car leave.

Lin Lang gave her a pretty good impression; he was a handsome young man who didn't seem arrogant at all and was very gentle.

However, at such a young age, it seems that these things shouldn't belong to him.

Even someone like Shen Xingnan, who owns such a large company, finds it difficult to remain completely gentle and occasionally loses his temper.

Lin Lang has earned so much money at such a young age, and his family isn't exactly wealthy or influential, so he should be very flamboyant.

All I can say is that, before you've seen the person in person, what others say isn't really reliable.

According to what Shen Xingnan said, Lin Lang was either a very arrogant person or a glib-tongued person; in fact, he didn't see either of those traits at all.

……

"Where should we eat? Bingjie has been busy with renovations lately and hasn't had time for lunch."

"It's getting a bit cooler, let's have hot pot."

"Okay, I'll listen to An Shen."

"Aaaaah, I'm not An Shen! It's all your fault! I don't even dare to open my account profile now, my private messages are full of people cursing me."

"What? Can't take it anymore? If so, then stop posting videos and I'll refund your money."

"What money will be refunded?"

"Your dad gave you twelve million back then, and you haven't spent much of it yet."

"This isn't like you at all. You insisted on 12 million before, and even said you'd include the operational arrangements for the next three months. Why are you being so easy to talk to now?"

Shen An'an was very clear about the cause and effect, and knew the specific details of the twelve million.

"There's no other way. Making money is indeed very important, but I don't want you to be under pressure. What if you do something rash... your dad could bring hundreds of people and chop me up."

Shen An'an said with a smile, "That's actually possible, but you can't risk your life for money."

"Haha, why don't you hold on a little longer? Let me earn this twelve million first?"

"Um, what are the benefits?"

"The benefit is a million followers, and eternal peace of mind! At that time, one word from you will make the global financial market tremble."

"But all of that is fake. Without you, who will still treat me like a god?"

"Then just don't leave me..."
