Chapter 181 Zhao Lan Buys an Online Army

Zhao Lan's Weibo post was truly skillful. Although she admitted her mistake throughout, she stated that it was a misunderstanding and even hinted at shifting blame. Apart from her fans, almost no one else in the comments section bought it.

"I knew Lazy didn't do it on purpose."

"It's okay, Lanlan, it's just a minor misunderstanding, we didn't take it to heart."

"Yeah, yeah! You're a fan of Sirius, you just said you like him, you never said you two are together! They're just making things up!"

"Some people and their fans are shameless! They were open and aboveboard when they posted it, but now they're being sarcastic and asking who they're blaming! Didn't you say you liked it? You were the first to see the misunderstanding, but you didn't clarify anything! Now that you've been proven wrong, you finally want to clarify? And even if you do clarify, you're blaming netizens? Don't you have any integrity?!"

"Heh, what a laugh! You're the one who misunderstood! How can you blame it on us, Lazy Lazy! You're the one who's being silly!"

"Some fans really do take after their idols! Even after all this, they still try to defend their idols! Do they think everyone is as blind as you are!"

"I was wrong, but it was all your own misunderstanding! It has little to do with me! Tsk tsk tsk! This overwhelming smell of green tea is almost waking my great-grandfather up from his coffin!"

"No wonder you're an actor. I won't watch the Golden Horse Awards next year if you're not in it!"

"Your apology is so well-crafted, do your family know? You've made us believe we misunderstood! I've never seen anyone as shameless as you in the world!"

"From the celebrities themselves to their fans, not a single one of them is normal! They're toxic!"

"Trying to ride the wave of popularity and getting slapped in the face, if you had admitted it, I would have respected you as a human being! But after you said that, I feel like a joke! I'm unfollowing and turning against you!"

"Ha! The thought that I used to like someone like that makes me feel disgusted!"

.........

Zhao Lan was both anxious and angry as she watched the increasing negative comments on Weibo and the precipitous drop in her number of followers. She had already posted what she needed to post, and none of her former friends in the industry would answer her calls. Zhao Lan could only look at the comments and feel anxious!

After thinking for a moment, she waved to her assistant beside her.

"Go and hire some online trolls to control the comments. Even if it gets on the trending topics, it can't be one-sided! Otherwise, I'm really finished!" Zhao Lan said, frowning as she looked at the ever-increasing number of comments.

"Okay!" Now the assistant and Zhao Lan are in the same boat. He has done a lot of unethical things with the other party. They can be said to share both glory and ruin!

.........

Less than five minutes later, the comments section of Zhao Lan suddenly changed direction. Jiang Chengcheng glanced at it and knew without a doubt that this was definitely the work of hiring online trolls.

"They've already apologized, what more do you want?"

"It's not a big deal, why do you have to keep chasing after me and scolding me? You guys are really something else."

"Always siding with outsiders, always turning your backs on them, you look like spies!"

"Who is Sirius? Is he famous? He's just a foreigner. All I know is that I'm Chinese. Is it worth arguing about a stranger for our own people?"

"What's the big deal? It's not like we're killing or setting fires, why are you all staring at it like this?"

"Yeah, there are so many things that bring glory to the country trending on the hot search, but you guys don't pay attention to any of them. Instead, you keep harping on this trivial matter in the entertainment industry!"

"They've already apologized, and you're still cursing them so fiercely. If something happens to them one day, none of you will escape!"

"It's hard to say whether this is solely Zhao Lan's fault! Maybe Sirius and she really do have something going on, but they're afraid of public opinion and don't dare to admit it!"

"Without knowing the full picture, I will not comment!"

Jiang Chengcheng scrolled through the comments from the online trolls Zhao Lan had hired, and a cold laugh inexplicably escaped her lips. She thought, "You're trying to take advantage of me! Riding on my man's popularity is one thing, but you're even turning around and accusing Sirius of starting something and then abandoning me!"

She's really dead!

As Jiang Chengcheng's blood pressure rose with anger from reading the comments section, she immediately dialed Li Chaosheng's number.

"Hello? Mr. Jiang? What's wrong?" Zhang Chaosheng glanced at his phone, wondering why the other party would suddenly call.

"Help me keep this trending topic at number one on Douyin for ten days to half a month, and control the direction of public opinion, directing the blame towards Zhao Lan!" Jiang Chengcheng's voice was as cold as could be because of the prevailing sentiment in Zhao Lan's comment section.

"What's going on? Did Zhao Lan offend you? Whether she trends on social media or not, making her disappear is just a matter of a word for you." Hearing this tone, Zhang Chaosheng guessed with a high degree of certainty that Zhao Lan had offended his boss.

"Wouldn't it be too easy for her to disappear?" Jiang Chengcheng replied coldly.

Oh no! I've really offended my boss!

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chaosheng didn't say anything more and hung up the phone to carry out the order.

Thinking that Zhao Lan dared to offend his boss, he shouldn't let him off lightly. So Zhang Chaosheng had his subordinates find some of Zhao Lan's past scandals and some unreported scandals, and put them all on the trending topics.

Thus, Zhao Lan successfully achieved her goal of dominating the top ten trending searches!

Of course! These lists are all blacklists.

Trending topic #1: Zhao Lan has a late-night rendezvous with the vice president of Huayu Film & Television Company.

Trending topic #2: Zhao Lan and a celebrity discuss scripts and act out scenes late at night, highlighting their "professionalism"!

Trending topic #3: Zhao Lan allegedly arrested after attending a meth party!

…………

Looking at these trending topics online, Jiang Chengcheng couldn't help but admire Zhang Chaosheng's efficiency!

Seeing the overwhelmingly negative comments in the trending topics section, Jiang Chengcheng felt extremely pleased. "So you dared to bully my boyfriend! Now you know what it feels like to reap what you sow!"

"Wow! This is a really big scandal! This time, someone's fans are probably doomed, right?"

"Why bother washing? Just wash up and go to bed!"

"I'm speechless! Some people's fans just won't learn their lesson until they see the coffin! What's the point of trying to defend them in this situation?"

The number of trending comments kept increasing, but the video was taken down before it even reached its peak popularity.

Jiang Chengcheng was still wondering what was going on when she received a phone call.

"Hello? President Jiang, the authorities called and asked us to remove all videos about Zhao Lan. It sounds like they want to blacklist her. What do you think, should we continue to release them or not?" Zhang Chaosheng asked, seeking Jiang Chengcheng's opinion. He had only temporarily shut down the videos, since Jiang Chengcheng was his boss now, and the decision was ultimately hers.

"...She got off too easy. Take it down." Jiang Chengcheng has already vented her anger, so we still need to give the authorities face. Besides, if we really keep her on the list for ten days or half a month, it will just be a waste of her popularity. There's no need for that.

"Okay, then I'll log off." Zhang Chaosheng breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, after all, going against the authorities wouldn't end well.

As for Jiang Chengcheng, her attention was drawn to Zhao Lan's online comments, and the tension she had been feeling, waiting anxiously for Lin Xingyun and Xiao Shan's group to conduct their trial, had largely dissipated.

Thinking about it, it's not really something that can't be talked about. At worst, I'll just admit to having a puppy love and get a beating, what else can I do?
