You were asked to write a political intrigue drama, but you wrote "Da Ming 1566".

"How did you hire someone like this, who uses foul language online, violates regulations, and leaks internal information just to show off?" "Investigate." "Take appropriate action once you find out. Furthermore, she must publish an apology on the platform where she posted the information, apologizing for the negative impact she has caused; otherwise, she is damaging our company's image!"

The HR manager, upon seeing the message from the senior executive, broke out in a cold sweat and immediately began investigating. Fortunately, among the newly hired junior staff, the number of fervent celebrity worshippers was not large. After all, such fanatical individuals are rare. Adding to this the profile picture and some information on the homepage...

The HR manager quickly identified an employee. "Li Xiaoxiao, a junior employee who was just hired this year." He frowned as he looked at Li Xiaoxiao's HR records. Good heavens, she's only been here a short time, and she's already late and leaving early. Now she's violating company rules online, leaking internal information? And even got noticed by senior management? She even posted their private messages online, engaging in cyberbullying? The HR manager took a deep breath and made a phone call.

At this moment, Li Xiaoxiao sat at her workstation, pretending to process documents while simultaneously sending out comments with an excited expression. In Chen Yu's live stream, she flaunted her status as a 25-year-old middle-level manager in a state-owned enterprise while criticizing the Ming Dynasty, and occasionally unleashing an area-of-effect attack on all men in the Dragon Kingdom.

Seeing so many female viewers who idolized her and regarded her as a successful woman, Li Xiaoxiao felt a sense of pride.

"Chen Yu said things he shouldn't have said, and my brother has already expressed his opposition to him, so of course I have to stand on the same side as my brother."

"Spray him, spray him to death!"

"What Ming Dynasty? I don't care what you wrote, just criticize!" Just as she was feeling smug and continuing to edit the comments, ready to stir things up, her phone suddenly rang at her workstation.

When Li Xiaoxiao saw that the phone number displayed was from the human resources department, her smug expression vanished instantly, replaced by a pitiful look.

She thought the HR department had contacted her about attendance. She had only been working for a short time, so wasn't it normal for her to not be able to get up at eight in the morning? Work was so tiring, so what was wrong with sneaking off half an hour early? Did they really need to call her? After answering the phone, Li Xiaoxiao was ready to start complaining.

But the next moment, the HR manager's cold voice came through the phone.

"Li Xiaoxiao, an investigation has revealed that you used an account nicknamed Xiaoxiao to publish a large number of false and inappropriate statements online, leak internal information, and defame company policies, which seriously violated company regulations and severely damaged the company's image."

"In addition, due to your repeated lateness and early departures last month, which violated the company's attendance policy, the HR department is now officially informing you that you have been dismissed."

"The severance pay will be paid in full in accordance with relevant laws, but you need to immediately clarify your remarks and publish an apology on the platform where you posted them, otherwise the company will pursue your legal responsibility."

After receiving the call, Li Xiaoxiao was completely stunned. She was fired?! She had finally managed to land a job at a state-owned enterprise, her family had begged and pulled strings countless times, and now she was being laid off?!

Furthermore, how long had she been using the "Xiaoxiao" account to criticize Chen Yu in his live stream before being discovered? At that moment, Li Xiaoxiao suddenly realized something. She clicked on the profile picture of the executive who had previously sent her a private message and found it was a photo of him in a suit. Then, in the company's internal OA system, she clicked on the executive section and saw an executive with the exact same profile picture. Instantly, Li Xiaoxiao's face turned deathly pale.

"What the hell... I really insulted one of our company's executives?" When she thought about what the HR department had told her about pursuing legal action, Li Xiaoxiao really chickened out and quickly posted an apology in the live stream.

"I am very sorry, due to my vanity and ignorance, I posted a lot of false information in the live broadcast room." "I am not a 25-year-old middle-level manager in a state-owned enterprise at all. I am just a junior employee who just joined the company. I did not intend to reveal internal company information. I just wanted to show off."

"I didn't mean to criticize the leadership. I really didn't know the executives were in the live stream!" As she typed this, Li Xiaoxiao felt a surge of grief and indignation, her heart filled with regret. She typed out the sentence with tears streaming down her face, "If I had known that our company's executives had tipped the 'Ming Dynasty' series 100,000 yuan and were die-hard fans, I wouldn't have dared to criticize them even if I had ten lives!"

After Li Xiaoxiao issued her apology, her fans were stunned and immediately fell silent, unsure of what to say.

Those fans of the Ming Dynasty who were furious about being criticized were almost laughing themselves silly. "That's it? All that boasting, and this is it?"

"See? The ones who hate the Ming Dynasty and criticize it relentlessly are the lower-level employees, while the ones who like it are the company's senior executives."

"Now, who agrees or disagrees that the Ming Dynasty is a workplace textbook?!"

At this moment, as the previously arrogant Li Xiaoxiao issued a statement crying and apologizing, the atmosphere in Chen Yu's live stream calmed down considerably.

There are many reasons, but the two main ones are: First, many viewers, seeing Li Xiaoxiao's fate, dared not criticize her anymore. Who would have thought that a company executive who's usually rarely seen would enjoy watching "The Ming Dynasty" and be constantly on the live stream?!

No one can say for sure if their boss is watching this live stream. What if they accidentally say something inappropriate and insult their boss, or what if their boss catches them criticizing "The Ming Dynasty" and then tries to sabotage them? Don't be fooled by how fiery and outspoken these people are online; in real life, how many of them aren't meek and cautious in front of their bosses? As long as their own interests aren't involved, they can all talk a big game, appearing righteous and ready to sacrifice themselves for their cause.

But once something touches upon their own interests, they all immediately shut their mouths, not daring to utter a single word. Meanwhile, another group of viewers seemed to have been suddenly awakened, a crucial thought suddenly dawning on them. That is, since so many senior executives and successful business people are all devoted fans of "Da Ming Dynasty," so highly praising the various power struggles and interpersonal skills depicted in the drama...

Isn't the weight and quality of this drama high enough?

If you take the time to carefully study the intricacies of "Ming Dynasty," they might actually prove very useful in real-life workplaces and interpersonal relationships!

When they set aside their reservations and prejudices about "Ming Dynasty" and seriously immersed themselves in watching it, they were completely captivated by the drama. The dramatic and suspenseful plot, and the hidden dangers lurking between the lines, left them mesmerized and mesmerized.

Unbeknownst to many, a large majority of the viewers who originally came to the live stream to criticize "Ming Dynasty" in order to stand up for their idols or favorite TV series have become fans of the show and turned into loyal viewers!

The combination of these factors resulted in the sudden and significant drop in the previously overwhelming wave of comment control and manipulation in Chen Yu's live stream. Meanwhile, the top-tier film and television companies and the executives of Huaying Film Company, who had been secretly fueling the storm behind the scenes, were all grinning from ear to ear as they watched the escalating controversy in Chen Yu's live stream.

This sudden turn of events instantly brought the live stream to a standstill. The smiles on their faces froze, replaced by furrowed brows and expressions of barely suppressed annoyance and rage. "Seriously, are these trolls even capable?"

"Your older siblings have publicly voiced their boycott of 'Ming Dynasty,' why don't you join in and say a few words of criticism?"

"Chen Yu has already stated definitively that 'Ming Dynasty' will undoubtedly be at the top of the list of 'divine dramas,' even surpassing the divine dramas you all hold dear. How can you still remain calm and silent?"

"Damn it, what are you afraid of? What are you afraid of? What are you afraid of? What are you afraid of? What are you afraid of? What are you afraid of? What are you afraid of? Curse! Go and yell at us! You're a bunch of useless good-for-nothings!" After gritting their teeth and cursing fiercely for a while, the group of high-ranking officials hiding behind the scenes barely managed to suppress their anger and calm down, still trying to comfort themselves.

"It's okay, it's okay. No matter how well this scene was filmed, it's already over and aired."

"After all, this is the twenty-first act, the second major climax of the entire play. Chen Yu must have polished the content in advance, so it's not surprising that it's well-written."

"But things will be different from the next scene. He can't keep releasing climaxes and famous scenes and lines one after another, can he?" "As long as what Chen Yu writes next isn't that outstanding, or even just a little bland, his boast that he's aiming for the top spot on the list of masterpieces will have something to criticize, and then the pacing will naturally pick up again."

The group of high-ranking executives behind the scenes were staring intently at the screen of the live stream, each one swearing in their hearts that they hoped Chen Yu's next piece would be utter nonsense and a complete mess. At this moment, Chen Yu took a moment to glance at the scrolling comments in the live stream. Seeing that the previously overwhelming momentum had weakened, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips and chuckle softly.

"Why did you stop arguing after only a short while?"

"It didn't even reach a new high in popularity. Sigh, I say, haters, are you even capable?" "I still prefer your fearless and unruly attitude from just now." The screen was instantly filled with question marks in the comments.

So, in Chen Yu's eyes, that chaotic battle just now was purely a way to boost his popularity and traffic? Many viewers frowned involuntarily upon hearing this.

"Is Chen Yu really not getting cocky? I feel like he's getting more and more arrogant." "The haters in the live stream are only temporarily toned down because of what happened earlier." "But if he writes a bad story in the next scene, the backlash will only be fiercer and more intense." "Chen Yu, you really need to pay more attention and be more serious. Don't mess up the next scene!" Chen Yu naturally saw the reminders and shouts from many viewers in the live stream who were genuinely worried about him.

However, Chen Yu simply smiled nonchalantly at these concerns.

He previously declared that from this moment on, all the content would be filled with iconic scenes and lines, and this was no exaggeration or falsehood. From this point onward, every scene is packed with high-energy moments! Is it a writing disaster? Is it bland and boring?

That's absolutely impossible!

Moreover, after this scene concludes, a brand-new character of immense importance will officially debut in the next scene. It is none other than Zhao Zhenji, the very same Zhao Zhenji who, in his previous life, was nicknamed "The Ming Dynasty's Non-Stick Pan" by netizens!

Speaking of Zhao Zhenji, his cunning and political maneuvering were almost on par with Hu Zongxian's, far surpassing those of Zheng Bichang and He Maocai. Just look at how he steadily climbed the ranks through the treacherous political landscape, eventually becoming a Grand Secretary; it's clear his shrewdness and methods were extraordinary. And throughout the entire series of "The Ming Dynasty," Zhao Zhenji contributed countless memorable lines.

For example, the two sentences he uttered to Hu Zongxian when he first appeared were enough to send a chill down everyone's spine. "Heaven and earth are ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs; the sage is ruthless, treating the people like straw dogs." "The death of ten thousand is a number, the death of a hundred thousand, a million is also a number; neither you nor I can stop it!" These two simple sentences perfectly revealed the cold-blooded indifference and ruthlessness inherent in this man. Even if a hundred thousand or a million people died, as long as it didn't affect his own interests, he could stand by and watch indifferently! In his eyes, what were the people? Just a string of cold, hard numbers!

Moreover, he was a prized student of Xu Jie, the leader of the Qingliu faction. His demeanor further exposed the true nature of those Qingliu officials in the court who spouted benevolence and morality. Besides this powerful line he delivered upon his first appearance, he had countless other memorable lines and scenes throughout the series.

Take, for example, the widely circulated phrase, "Let the people suffer, I'll bear the blame." And the saying, "Merit and demerit always go hand in hand; I don't seek merit, avoiding demerit is merit enough." Every word truly reveals the intricacies of officialdom, leaving one speechless and chilled to the bone! The image of a high-ranking bureaucrat, brimming with power and intrigue, who seeks no merit but only to avoid demerit, who doesn't strive to benefit the people or build any achievements, but only to climb the ladder step by step—it leaps off the page instantly, vividly portrayed!

With such a heavyweight character making his debut, how could the next scene possibly be uneventful? That would be a complete joke!

He couldn't help but wonder what expressions the viewers in the live stream would have when they saw Zhao Zhenji's iconic scene in the next segment, and what kind of storm it would cause. A knowing smile played on Chen Yu's lips as his fingers tapped out the closing text for the twenty-first scene. Immediately afterward, the crisp, rapid tapping of the keyboard didn't stop for a moment; his fingers flew across the keyboard, typing out the title for the next scene: 【The Ming Dynasty, Act Twenty-Two—The Sage's Ruthlessness, Begins!】
