I was exposed for adding my female boss to my group of female friends.

On average, each person has four or five accounts, which are simultaneously running in the live streaming room.

There's a cooldown period for sending bullet comments; once you've used up all the comments on one account, immediately switch to another.

Repeating the same sentence five or six times creates a clustering effect, which can be quite unsettling.

Within their fan base, there is also a division of labor and collaborative efforts.

One group was responsible for coming up with the wording, while another group was responsible for sending the comments.

With the fan leader in charge, he knew exactly who to blow up and in which direction to spray, everything was done with precision.

In this way, they achieved ten times the effect with a small number of people, and for a time they suppressed the fans of Xu Xiangxiao and Jiang Xinhai.

Xu Xiangxiao and Jiang Xinhai's fans all have regular jobs and lives; they just come to watch the live stream for fun.

They were annoyed by the comments and naturally didn't want to watch anymore.

This caused the live stream's popularity to plummet.

For a show that has only been airing for two days, such a sharp drop in popularity is absolutely unacceptable.

Wang Weiming panicked completely.

"What exactly happened? Explain it."

Zhu Bin looked grim and threw the materials on the table with a sharp "thud".

Wang Weiming didn't answer, but then said loudly again:

"You promised to leverage fan groups to generate buzz and trending topics? Is this your answer?"

Sweat beaded on Wang Weiming's face, which was covered in oil.

“Mr. Zhu, this is an unexpected situation,” he said. “According to my arrangement, no one on the show should have mentioned Jiang Xinhai. Xu Xiangxiao did not follow the rules.”

Zhu Bin got even angrier: "So what if she doesn't follow the rules? Are you going to punish her?"

Wang Weiming's face was covered in even more sweat.

Zhu Bin's gaze towards him was now filled with utter contempt.

"Wang Weiming, I see you've really gone to great lengths to plan, yet you can't even grasp the most basic situation. You made the decision to kick Jiang Xinhai out, but did you even go to the scene before making that decision?"

Wang Weiming twitched his lips and said:

"Mr. Zhu, you know that since that incident, I've been working non-stop, and I haven't slept for more than two hours at a time. And in South Korea, Jiang Xinhai's behavior..."

Zhu Bin abruptly interrupted him, saying:

"South Korea? You've really gone crazy studying in South Korea! This is China! If you don't understand, can't you use your brain to think about whether you can afford to offend someone like Jiang Xinhai? Where's your brain? You're a pig!"

Wang Weiming felt the psychological pressure increase dramatically and said with difficulty, "When I proposed the strategy of killing the chicken to scare the monkey, you also..."

"Kill the chicken to scare the monkey? Do you think they really need this exposure? You want to use Jiang Xinhai as a scapegoat? You're not worthy! I think you're the monkey!"

After Zhu Bin finished speaking, he continued:

"And how the hell do you manage those fan groups? One Jiang Xinhai isn't enough, you even dare to step on Xu Xiangxiao, why don't you just fly to the moon? How did we promote this show? The meeting of the two kings! You've offended all the original fans of the two kings, who will still watch our show?"

"Pig! Pig! You're a pig!"

Wang Weiming was thoroughly scolded and felt wronged, but he couldn't utter a single word:

Didn't I make this decision with your consent?

If you weren't trying to save money, would I have done this?

Now that we've saved on expenses, I'll take the blame?

That doesn't make sense!

He said stiffly, "President Zhu, when we discussed this before, didn't we collectively believe that Jiang Xinhai's fans' loyalty had decreased and that they would support our 'cold treatment' approach?"

Zhu Bin's eyebrows twitched. He had just finished cursing "a pig" when Wang Weiming said "General Manager Zhu," and he almost thought he had been insulted.

"When did I say that? Find out exactly what I said! Besides, public relations is your responsibility as the team leader. Don't you have your own judgment about the situation? Do you need me to give you instructions?"

Wang Weiming's expression turned ugly.

After a pause, Zhu Bin continued, "Have you carefully reviewed the information that Chen Ya collected?"

Wang Weiming frowned.

Chen Ya was always strange. He was just a mid-level employee, and it wasn't even within his job description, yet he took the initiative to do it and produced a set of documents in such a short time.

What's most suspicious is that he came from the head office. No matter how you look at it, it seems like he has some kind of powerful backing.

To be honest, if he hadn't produced that set of information, they wouldn't have decided to kick Jiang Xinhai out so quickly.

It was because they began to doubt Jiang Xinhai that they made the decisive decision to sacrifice a pawn to save the king.

Under these circumstances, who would dare to believe his information? Even Zhu Bin himself didn't believe it, did he?

Having said that, he felt he couldn't continue the conversation with Zhu Bin.

"Mr. Zhu, our announcement regarding Jiang Xinhai has been released. Issuing this announcement should improve the situation. Would you like to take a look?"

Zhu Bin nodded, and Wang Weiming pulled up the electronic version of the press release on his phone and handed it to Zhu Bin.

The sign read: "...Due to Jiang Xinhai's own reasons, she needs to temporarily say goodbye and leave the mountain cabin. Please understand..."

After reading it, Zhu Bin asked, "Has this announcement been discussed with Jiang Xinhai's team?"

Wang Weiming said, "We have been unable to contact Jiang Xinhai himself. According to the contract, we have the right to issue this notice..."

Zhu Bin said, "If you think it's okay, then go ahead and do it."

After saying that, he walked out the door.

Wang Weiming felt the blood rushing to his head.

If it weren't his own phone, he would have smashed it.

This person is completely indifferent and is ready to push all the responsibility onto themselves!

He stormed back to his office, his steps quick and furious.

No matter how you look at it, there's nothing wrong with this announcement. It leaves enough room for error, so it's unlikely to cause any problems. He decided to send it out directly.

Moreover, he always felt that Jiang Xinhai's current predicament was caused by some force behind the scenes.

Using this announcement, he will be able to find the other party sooner or later.

Just as he was about to issue the announcement, a subordinate suddenly ran over: "President Wang, something terrible has happened!"

"What's wrong with it?" Wang Weiming frowned.

"Jiang Xinhai posted on Weibo!"

Chapter 102 Will she still be popular in 2022?

"What did they send?" Wang Weiming frowned deeply.

The employee handed him the phone, and upon looking at it, he saw Jiang Xinhai's Weibo post:

"Hello everyone, this is Xinhai. It's been a long time since I posted on my blog."

Since yesterday, friends have been asking me, "Xinhai, why aren't you living a poetic life anymore?" Here's my unified answer:

Because Xin Hai exposed himself yesterday, he had some disagreements with the company, and now they want him to leave.

Longtime fans should know that I'm a very easygoing person, so I'm very calm right now, and this is definitely not something I said in anger.

Of course, there's still a bit of regret, especially knowing that the mountain cabin was Zhichi's former residence! I want to know more about Zhichi!

But I soon stopped feeling regretful. Perhaps seeing how pitiful I was, the person in question came to find me.

Thank you to the production team for their help!

So, at Zhichi's request, I'll use my Weibo account to post a message (he's always borrowing things from me, it's gotten to him):

Tomorrow night at 9:00 PM, I will simultaneously release my new song with Zhichi on various platforms. Please join me for the show!

After reading such a long string of Weibo posts, Wang Weiming felt a bit confused.

He felt that Jiang Xinhai was using Weibo like a personal WeChat Moments, saying a lot but not knowing the main point. He only understood two things:

Jiang Xinhai exposed his conflict with the company!

And she's even releasing a new song at this crucial moment!

"So you're really that amazing? You can write a new song in just two nights and a day? Who are you kidding?"

He is increasingly suspicious that Jiang Xinhai prepared everything on purpose to sabotage their program.

A surge of murderous intent rose within Wang Weiming.

"Mr. Wang, should we still issue the announcement?"

What's the next step?

Wang Weiming walked towards the floor-to-ceiling window with his hands behind his back.

He stared at the night view outside the building with a sinister expression.

After taking a deep breath, he made his decision.

Jiang Xinhai is a has-been singer with no record company behind him.

Now, she's actually using her past fame to embarrass the company.

I'm really a bit confused about my own identity.

She had no idea what kind of opponent she was provoking.

Rayark, a company that owns numerous boy bands and controls a large amount of capital.

With just a command, millions of dollars will roll in, and hundreds of millions of streams will rush in one direction.

Standing before this overwhelming force was Jiang Xinhai, an ordinary person.

Wang Weiming simply couldn't understand how she dared to do that.

How could she be so foolish as to want to fight against capital?

Does she really still think that the entertainment industry is like it was 10 years ago, where everyone just sits around having fun every day?

You can sing well, but if you lack connections and support, what good is it just to have a good singing voice?

To be honest, Wang Weiming never thought that the songs of the artists under his management were that good.

But he doesn't need to be that good.

If you invest tens of millions of dollars, whether people say you're good or bad, you're good.

There are plenty of good things in this world, who do you think you are?

Times have changed.

Today, he must let Jiang Xinhai know that her era is over!

……

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

Amidst the tense standoff between the two sides, a post suddenly appeared on the forum:

[If there's no number one female pop star, where does the crown come from? Is it just an illusion?]

"I'm not a fan of anyone, I just observed a phenomenon that I found a bit funny."

I looked at the Weibo popularity rankings over the years and found a problem—Jiang Xinhai has never been number one.

Not even once.

Her highest ranking was in 18, when she hovered around 20th place for a while due to some incident.

I would like to ask Jiang Xinhai's fans: Who bestowed upon you the title of "Queen of Pop"?

A diva whose peak popularity only ranks 20th?

He laughed.

After the post was published, it quickly attracted a large number of Jiang Xinhai's fans.

Some people seriously explained that when Jiang Xinhai became popular, Weibo wasn't yet a big thing.
