After a busy morning, Qin Muyan finally had time to rest.
She had been chattering for over two hours without even a sip of water.
Temporarily going offline, she casually grabbed a few bags of snacks and drinks, and comfortably lay on her bed, planning to scroll through her phone.
Mmm.
And speaking of which.
Huarong Industries' employee benefits were truly superior to most ordinary companies.
It was indeed fortunate to be a contracted streamer for Brother Hao's company.
It's just.
Why hasn't Brother Hao been close to her lately?
And then there's this.
Who is that Zhang Qianjin?
How did she become Brother Hao's daily maintenance liaison?
Hmph.
With that infatuated look, she must have ulterior motives towards Brother Hao.
However.
She herself, at least, was regularly present at Huarong Industries... Oh no, it was renamed Huarong Technology yesterday afternoon...
Proximity breeds favor.
Even if that female lieutenant had any inappropriate intentions towards Brother Hao, she wouldn't have the advantage of being in front of Brother Hao every day.
After all.
It takes time... to develop feelings!
Feeling a bit jealous, Qin Muyan shifted her attention back to her phone.
She casually clicked on the top trending news on "Little Break Station."
Huh?
The number one trending topic was:
[Confirmed, this is the most deeply hidden company in Great Xia!]
Huh?
Has the tide turned?
Or did Brother Hao hire paid commenters?
Finally shifting her focus away from Huarong Technology.
Mmm.
No matter which unlucky company attracted the heat.
It could be considered Qin Muyan's credit... after all, she had been chattering on her stream all morning.
Having already figured out how to claim credit to Brother Hao... and use this opportunity to ask Brother Hao out for dinner, a candlelight dinner or something, Qin Muyan happily clicked on it.
Huh?
Huh?
Ah?
Meow meow meow?
What's going on?
[Confirmed, Huarong Company is a genuine military enterprise...]
[Big scoop, Huarong Company has officially changed its name to Huarong Technology. It seems they no longer intend to hide, and are going all out. As everyone knows, the most powerful technology companies are bound to be military enterprises...]
[Exclusive, if Huarong Technology weren't a true technological military enterprise, how could the unseen powerful hands lurking beneath the surface eliminate other pseudo-military-grade mecha concept companies...]
Qin Muyan's head was buzzing.
Her transformation from a science student back into a girl was gradual.
She wasn't particularly interested in technology, mechas, or machinery.
Her emotions completely followed Meng Hao.
She was happy when Brother Hao was happy.
She was agitated when Brother Hao was agitated.
When Brother Hao needed to prove that Huarong Technology was not a military enterprise, she naturally and wholeheartedly helped Brother Hao change the public's perception on her stream.
It's just.
Even though Cheng Hua had gone to the relevant departments yesterday afternoon to correct Huarong Company's name and scope of business.
How could idle gossipers uncover it the next morning and fantasize to this extent, coming up with this series of strange speculations?!
Doesn't that mean that this morning's live stream.
Was completely a waste of breath.
Just as Qin Muyan was feeling frustrated.
There was a knock on the door.
Mmm.
It was Meng Hao.
His dejected expression clearly indicated.
That classmate Meng Hao had completely lost the debate with netizens.
Of course.
This was also understandable.
Meng Hao wasn't a skilled AI specializing in "arguing and spewing venom."
How could he possibly win against the entire internet's gossip-mongers.
Let alone Meng Hao.
Even if Zhuge Kongming, the master debater, were reborn, facing the masses of netizens who were invincible in their arguments, he would only be able to retreat in defeat.
"Brother Hao."
"Me!"
Qin Muyan was on the verge of tears.
She had originally intended to claim credit from Meng Hao.
But.
The situation had completely changed.
After a morning's work.
Not only had she failed to completely shift the public's perception of the renamed Huarong Technology to a private enterprise,
Instead, it had backfired, escalating to become the "number one hidden military enterprise in Great Xia."
This is.
A joke!
Meng Hao's face was originally grim.
But upon seeing Qin Muyan lying on the bed, looking like a wronged little girl who had made a mistake,
Meng Hao's attitude and emotions immediately softened considerably—
He hadn't come to find fault with Qin Muyan in the first place.
If he were to vent all his negative emotions on a girl who was also trying to help him through difficulties, that wouldn't be very manly.
"Don't overthink it, I'm not here to blame you."
"You are our Huarong Technology streamer, our online public face."
"I'm looking for you to brainstorm together on how to change the netizens' perception!"
Meng Hao said, half-explaining and half-comforting.
Seeing that Meng Hao wasn't here to scold her or cause trouble for her.
The wronged Qin Muyan's emotions finally calmed down considerably.
Girls.
Are indeed strange.
They always unconditionally trust the men who stir their hearts.
And they would never question or even interrogate them.
...
To find the root of the problem.
The first step is to trace the source.
As the saying goes, a man and a woman working together makes the task easier.
The two quickly found the origin of this public opinion storm.
Yesterday afternoon.
Less than half an hour after Cheng Hua received Meng Hao's instructions and went to the relevant departments to update the company's name, scope of business, and other information.
A Weibo post directly targeting Huarong Technology was published.
From the narrative logic and emotional manipulation of this post, it was clearly the work of a professional team skilled at stirring up trouble.
In other words.
There must be a team or individual who had set their sights on Meng Hao.
And the funds of this team or individual were likely from overseas.
The main body of this Weibo post was filled with strong and obvious emotional provocation and feigned objectivity—
[As a passerby, a postgraduate student graduated from a key marketing university in Great Xia who often browses Zhihu, I want to say something very frankly. Huarong Company was originally a thorough military enterprise...]
[The eyes of the masses are sharp. A company like this, which was favored by military procurement officers from Russia and received an order of 1 billion for mechas from the Great Xia government, clearly has the treatment of a military enterprise, and not just an ordinary one, but a true leading enterprise...]
[As for why they changed their name and always claimed Huarong Company was just a private enterprise, in our marketing circles, there's a specific term for it: 'passing off fish eyes as pearls and confusing the public.' Simply put, the boss of this company... the one who is revered as Brother Hao by many idiots, intends to profit from both sides...]
[They want both military orders and to fleece the public. As someone who has studied marketing, I can only say that Meng Hao is playing a clever game.
But his heart is too dark, wanting to make money from everything, isn't his appetite too greedy...]
[Well, the above is just the honest opinion of a conscientious passerby with professional marketing knowledge, who simply cannot stand the actions of Huarong Technology Company and Meng Hao...]
