After listening to He Junhao's story, Xiao He was uncharacteristically silent.
This kid was truly miserable.
He didn't even know how to comfort him.
"So, what are you going to do next?"
Xiao He asked.
"Sigh—"
Speaking of this, He Junhao couldn't # Nоvеlight # help but let out a long sigh, though his mood was much better than before: "I'll restart, of course. The trend for Note is getting better and better recently, so I can post on both Note and Bilibili with my new account."
Xiao He thought about it and felt it was pretty good.
"Do you need help?" he proactively asked, "Though I might not be able to help you much, I can show my face or something—"
"Yes! Of course, you can!"
He Junhao grabbed Xiao He's arm, snot and tears flowing, "Boohoo, you truly are my good brother! You have no idea how popular you are on Bilibili! If I can leech off that traffic, you'll be my living godfather!"
"But, will this affect you?"
Xiao He's face darkened: "Alright, alright, it just so happens that I don't have a company restricting me right now, and I can't handle all this traffic myself, so you can help me share some."
Besides, he was indeed too busy, constantly moving from one set to another without a break. Even if he wanted to take photos and interact with fans occasionally to maintain their loyalty, he basically had no opportunity. Even the few nine-panel grids were handled entirely by Lin Yipeng, just to promote their 'the thief catcher'.
So, in a sense, this was Xiao He's first official appearance on Bilibili after becoming "famous."
Of course, he had appeared before, and it was in He Junhao's videos, but at that time, his focus wasn't on these things at all, so He Junhao also very restrainedly reduced his screen time. As a result, no one had discovered that Xiao He and He Junhao were roommates yet.
"That's truly wonderful!" He Junhao was incredibly grateful, only able to continuously express his thanks, "Thank you, Xiao Ge, I, I really don't know how to express this gratitude, thank you so much—"
During this time, He Junhao had truly experienced great ups and downs. Before, he was still fantasizing about breaking a million followers and welcoming more commercial deals and money, but in a blink, he became a complete newcomer, having to start everything from scratch.
He hadn't told anyone about these hardships and bitterness, not even daring to tell his family, fearing they would worry.
It was also fortunate that his family didn't really frequent Bilibili, and his few close friends were busy with their own affairs, otherwise, He Junhao truly wouldn't know how to explain himself to them.
"But Xiao Ge... I might not be able to do it recently, I need to wait for a while." He Junhao then showed a troubled expression, "I need to change my living place now, but I'm still looking for an apartment, so I can't shoot videos temporarily."
Xiao He pondered for a moment and said, "It's fine, no rush. I'm entering a film crew tomorrow anyway, and I'll probably be at the Film and Television Base for a long time. When you've sorted things out, let me know in advance, and I'll come find you then."
"Okay—"
After discussing the plan, He Junhao regained his vitality and began to prepare the upcoming video plan with full fighting spirit. Xiao He finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned to open his computer.
The computer lit up with the power-on symbol, and in the dark screen, the young man's cold eyes were reflected.
What was that agency called again?
Star Creation? Nickname, let's see if I can't destroy you—
-
A certain building in Shanghai.
"What? How could this happen?"
Manager Yu slammed the table angrily, "I hired you guys to tell me that the computers have a virus?"
The people below exchanged glances, their expressions filled with helplessness.
"Manager Yu, this incident was truly too sudden, we don't know what happened either."
A programmer said helplessly, "This virus is completely different from any on the market right now. I suspect a foreign hacker attacked us here."
At least domestically, he had never heard of such a virus.
"Huh? Then call the police! I don't believe it! If you can't handle this, the police can!"
The Little Assistant awkwardly interrupted Manager Yu: "Manager, I'm afraid that won't work..."
"Why not again? This won't work, that won't work, do you know that every moment of delay is money?"
Manager Yu roared, "Call! Call them immediately!"
A programmer below quietly rolled his eyes.
Seriously, I'm done...
Little Assistant: "Manager, why don't you take a look first?"
Manager Yu stormed over to the computer, and when he clearly saw the text on the screen, his expression instantly changed.
"This... this—"
Displayed were their agency's financial statements and tax declarations for the past five years, and even recent bank transaction details!
This was practically tearing off their company's skin and brazenly displaying it for everyone to see!
Manager Yu looked at these "death" data constantly jumping and flashing on the screen, and sharply questioned the Little Assistant next to him: "Are all the company's computers like this?"
The Little Assistant looked at the continuously scrolling data sheets and pouted: "Yes, Manager Yu."
"Then why aren't you quickly telling them to cut the power!"
Manager Yu snapped, cold sweat already seeping from his forehead.
This stuff absolutely can't get out! If it spreads, they're finished!
"It won't work, the programmer already said that once the power is cut, all infected computers will be scrapped!" the Little Assistant said innocently, "Didn't Manager also tell us not to cut the power just now?"
All the company's computers were infected, even the routers and some servers in their server room. If they forcibly cut the power or shut them down, all these things would be scrapped, and the losses would be immeasurable.
Manager Yu mumbled, not daring to take on this responsibility, and finally could only angrily urge the programmers: "Then hurry up and find a way to crack it! These are all company losses, can you afford to compensate them?!"
As Manager Yu spoke, the lead programmer directly sneered, crossed his arms, and said indifferently, "It can't be saved. I suggest calling the police directly. We are just tools who write code; we can't solve these problems, nor can we take the blame. Don't use these tactics to threaten us."
Manager Yu was choked with anger: "You, you all—"
Due to the company's excessive overtime exploitation, many people in the office had not yet left at this moment. Upon seeing the "generously" displayed data, some young people instinctively pulled out their phones to record, cursing the unscrupulous company, and then immediately dialed the reporting hotline, determined to shut down such an agency.
By the time the relevant authorities arrived at the company, the viruses had already silently disappeared, with only the video recordings on the company staff's phones proving their past existence.
However, these were no longer important.
This subsidiary, named Star Creation, had long been involved in tax evasion and multiple instances of dual contracts and data fraud. With irrefutable evidence, it was officially sealed off that same day, and several leaders, including Manager Yu, were all "invited for tea."
And given the circumstances, their chances of getting out were very slim; they were likely heading to jail.
