The Peninsula chaebol started by rescuing Samsung's little princess.

"Creak..."

Li Zhixian quietly pushed open the door, afraid of disturbing her sleeping roommates.

She and Jeon Boram drank and chatted outside until after 2 a.m. She was so sleepy that she could barely keep her eyes open, and only then did Jeon Boram let her go back to her dormitory.

However, when she opened the door, she found that there were still people in the dormitory who were not asleep.

In the pitch black, a face, pale as it was reflected in the computer screen, hung in the air.

A glance at it is refreshing and invigorating.

Why aren't you asleep yet?

"Zhixian, Mars Network just updated! They added so much new content, it's so interesting!"

My roommate, wrapped in a blanket, sat on the bed and said excitedly.

Since the launch of MarsNet, Li Zhixian has naturally recommended the website to her classmates.

She knew her actions were just a drop in the ocean, but she was happy as long as they could help Li Haorong.

MarsNet is indeed very powerful. My roommates, who were introduced to it, became addicted and spent every day on it.

"You're not still playing dating sims, are you?"

"I stopped playing it a long time ago. I feel like I'm playing a single-player game; it's boring. I wish I were as pretty as you!"

My roommate sighed.

She also remembered that when Li Zhixian was demonstrating to them, as soon as they logged into the website, the friend request section already had 99+ red notifications.

When showcasing the "Love Matching" feature, she can instantly match partners simply by clicking on the right.

In other words, there is no man who doesn't like Lee Ji-hyun.

It's a pity that Lee Ji-hyun wasted her talent; she ignored all the advances from so many handsome men.

"Oh! So what are you playing?"

Li Zhixian moved closer to her roommate and glanced at her computer screen.

"Hehe, look at our Cassiopeia group! In just two hours, we already have 3 members!"

The term "Cassiopeia" refers to fans of TVXQ.

MarsNet's group sections are similar to Baidu Tieba in China, but they have not yet been officially certified.

"You stay up all night just to chase after celebrities?"

"Yeah, look at these new photos! Jaejoong oppa is so handsome! I've never seen him like this before, these guys are all amazing!"

Li Zhixian found it hard to understand her roommate's enthusiasm for chasing stars. She felt that it was better to go to sleep than to waste her time on it!

So she ignored it, finished washing up by herself, and climbed into bed to fall into a deep sleep.

After a busy day, she was already extremely sleepy and basically lost consciousness the moment her head hit the pillow.

She slept very soundly that night, and didn't even dream.

"what……"

Until a scream woke up Lee Ji-hyun from her deep sleep.

Li Zhixian didn't know how long she had slept. When she opened her eyes, she found that the sun was already high in the sky outside the window.

"What happened?"

Li Zhixian rubbed her eyes and realized that it was her roommate, who was obsessed with celebrities, making the noise.

"A post appeared online saying that one day, Oppa really did ask her out. That bitch is making it sound so real, like it's true!"

My roommate was so anxious she was almost in tears.

Unable to sleep due to the noise, Li Zhixian had no choice but to get out of bed and sit in front of the computer to check out this gossip.

"I didn't lie!"

"I'm a Japanese person, and I originally came to the peninsula as a tourist."

"Back then, I did indeed find Mr. Park through the dating matching feature on Mars.net!"

"Because I don't follow celebrities, I didn't know he was a star. I just thought he was handsome, so I tried dating him. I even have screenshots of our chats here..."

"Later, I told my friends about it and found out that the other person was a celebrity..."

Upon seeing this well-reasoned post, even Lee Ji-hyun's first reaction was to want to curse Park Yoo-chun.

The comments below the post were similar to what Lee Ji-hyun had expected: many expressed sympathy for the woman, while others criticized Park Yoo-chun.

Although some Cassiopeia (TVXQ) members defended Park Yoochun in the comments section, it seemed like a drop in the ocean.

"What should we do? This post has already surpassed 20 views, why hasn't the website deleted it yet?"

"This is the perfect time to attract traffic, how could the website possibly delete it..."

Listening to her roommate's tearful complaints, Li Zhixian originally wanted to comfort her, but halfway through her speech, she suddenly had an idea.

Could this be Hao Rong oppa's way of attracting attention?

Is this post fake?

-----------------

"This post is obviously fake! But the chat screenshot of Park Yoochun is real!"

"Since I'm writing an article based on a picture, of course not all the comments are from real people; quite a few are from my circle!"

"Oh, by the way, whether it's the drawings or the people, you have to remember to reimburse me for all that later. You can't be stingy in finance!"

After hanging up the phone with Li Yinxin, Li Haorong sighed deeply. With the addition of finance, the process of spending money has become much more difficult!

After parting ways with Hong Shengcheng, Li Haorong did two things.

First, Mars.net has been redesigned, with new sections added.

The second is to build an online army!

The year 2005 is also the year that online trolls officially stepped onto the historical stage.

During this year, many online public relations companies emerged, using economic means and operating in a corporatized and group-based manner to form large-scale online troll teams and begin to guide online public opinion for profit.

In order to carry out his plan, Lee Ho-young had Park Jung-hyuk set up a new online public relations company specifically for recruiting online trolls.

"Chairman, this is my high school classmate, Lee Myung-gu. He used to be a reporter for Seoul News, and he's the one in charge of this PR deal!"

At this moment, Park Jung-hyuk brought a handsome man with the typical Korean oppa look to Lee Ho-young.

The man was quite sensible; he bowed to Li Haorong and said:

"Hello, Chairman Li!"

"Don't mention it, you're President Li now!"

Li Haorong gestured for the two to sit down.

"I never expected you'd give up a reporter position at a big company to come and work for me?"

"No matter how small the company is, he's still the president!"

"But it shouldn't mean much to you, right? The company president's salary is probably less than half of yours, isn't it?"

Currently, the PR firm is still being managed by Park Jung-hyuk, but I need to give him other tasks, so I can't stay here indefinitely.

Therefore, although Li Mingjiu is competent, Li Haorong still needs to examine him further.

Li Mingjiu paused for a moment before speaking:

"I've always wanted to break the monopoly of media by conglomerates and establish a news media outlet independent of these major corporations!"

"Very bold, and also unrealistic!"

Li Haorong smiled.

"Yes, but I'm willing to work hard for it!"

Previously, I had specifically collected evidence to report on the Park Yoochun incident, but it was quickly suppressed by SM Entertainment, and the representative of our news agency even gave me a severe scolding!

I was unwilling to accept this, but I didn't have much experience running a company.

Just then, Park Jung-hyuk approached me with an opportunity to hone my management skills without costing me a penny. Why wouldn't I take it?

After hearing Li Mingjiu's words, Li Haorong could tell that the other party was a talented person.

Even though the other party's heart isn't in this profession, it doesn't matter, as long as I can use it for them now.

After all, these days, who has a job that they are interested in?

"Okay, I promise you, as long as you can help me run this company well and train a qualified successor."

"If you want to start a new company later, I can provide the funding so you can establish a company you want to do!"

"Thank you, Chairman Li!"

Upon hearing Li Haorong's assurance, Li Mingjiu's eyes lit up, and he immediately bowed to Li Haorong again.
