Xiao He couldn't understand this: "Why? This is the first time I've ever heard of a boss being exploited by his employees."
Anyone who followed him from the beginning should know that Linghui Entertainment was established with investment from Xiao He. In other words, Xiao He is a boss with equity and real power.
There's no way he was bullied!
So why couldn't he understand what I was saying?
If I said that, would anyone really believe me?
If passersby heard this, wouldn't they laugh their heads off?
"Actually, I don't quite understand either."
Xiao Zhou gave an awkward but polite smile.
I've heard of bosses exploiting their employees, but I've never heard of employees exploiting their bosses.
If it weren't for his own boss standing right in front of him, Xiao Zhou would have gone to the super topic and fought these guys for three hundred rounds.
【The boss is running the business himself, forcing us to work paid overtime all the time. Do you think this money is so easy to earn?】
The small boat roared inwardly.
【Who's really profiting from whom? Who's exploiting whom?!】
Of course, Xiao He may not be the heartless capitalist of legend, but "cursing the boss at work" is a freedom that every worker should have.
"However, the risk of this public opinion is not very high at present. There are related comments in the super topic, and not many people are being incited. Most of the accounts are obviously very young."
Xiao Zhou explained with mixed feelings.
Clearly, those who can say such things, or those who are misled by such remarks, are mostly children who have never worked and have not experienced the harsh ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) realities of society.
Any office worker would find it hard not to laugh when they see such comments.
Please, they are already exhausted from their regular jobs. Please don't pity a boss who is rich, famous, and has a large following of fans, okay?
Xiao He's lips twitched as well: "Clean up these comments, and whatever you do, don't let them out."
If these words get out or are seen by malicious marketing accounts, he might really be in the spotlight again.
After all, if this kind of news gets out...
That's a bit too much, my friend.
Xiao He certainly didn't want to be burdened with any strange or negative public opinion.
“Okay, Brother Xiao, we’ve got the situation under control.” Xiao Zhou nodded. “So, should we tell Sister Liu about this?”
Actually, this public opinion situation isn't that serious. It's just that with the Spring Festival approaching, everyone wants to get this part of their work done in advance so they can have a proper holiday.
After all, last year, due to the birthday party, Linghui Entertainment hardly had any time off, so many people missed the chance to go home for the Chinese New Year. Even though a long holiday was given later to make up for it, going home during the Spring Festival and going home at other times are not the same in meaning.
Therefore, when they learned that their company would have a normal holiday this year, everyone was excited and started working harder to finish their work as soon as possible.
Xiao He has completed most of his work, and he himself is no longer working. However, the situation is not so certain for the others at Linghui Entertainment, especially those in the operations department.
Although there are generally no major scandals to overshadow the festive atmosphere during the Spring Festival, they still need to monitor public opinion in advance to prevent any unexpected events.
Xiao Zhou definitely didn't want to be notified to work overtime online as soon as he got back to his hometown—even with overtime pay, it wouldn't be acceptable!
Xiao He was naturally unaware of Xiao Zhou's thoughts. He observed the situation in the super topic for a while, then suddenly raised his hand and patted Xiao Zhou, saying to him, "Then please go and call Sister Liu for me. If it can be resolved before the holiday, then try to resolve it as soon as possible."
"Oh well."
Xiao Zhou quickly got up and went to find Liu Rulan.
Xiao He then sat down in the sliding chair next to him, slid down to Xiao Zhou's computer, and began typing code at lightning speed.
A few minutes later, Liu Rulan arrived, accompanied by Xiao Zhou.
"What's going on?"
Liu Rulan went straight to the point and asked the question.
Xiao He stepped aside so that Liu Rulan could see the screen: "I have a feeling that something is off about this person's account."
Liu Rulan didn't speak, but bent down slightly with a serious expression, carefully examining the content posted by the account, and asked, "Is this the person you just investigated?"
“Yes.” Xiao He nodded. “After Xiao Zhou told me about this situation, I felt that there must be someone secretly guiding things behind the scenes, so I investigated carefully in this super topic and found that the person who started the trend was just a small account, while her main account is the one we are seeing now.”
This Weibo account called 【Thousand Paper Cranes】 has quite a few followers, but it only follows Xiao He. Most of the content is about daily life as a fan, with a bit of self-fantasy about dating celebrities. It also occasionally includes some landscape photos and pictures of objects.
Logically speaking, she was just a normal fan, but Xiao He felt that many of the things she showed looked somewhat familiar.
"Huh? How come we didn't discover her account before?"
Xiao Zhou exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Xiao, how did you find her?"
The speed at which they uncovered the identity is incredible! It's like they're hacking!
Xiao He chuckled dryly: "Uh, I found it in the related push notifications... Oh dear, this is how big data push notifications work these days."
Not just comparable to a hacker, but practically a hacker.
However, since there was a small boat here, Xiao He couldn't say it outright.
Liu Rulan didn't join their conversation, but stared intently at the photos under the account, her tone somewhat grave: "This person is using you to make money."
Xiao Zhou: "Huh?"
Xiao He also became serious: "What do you mean?"
"This photo was taken during the National Day holiday—"
Liu Rulan pointed to the landscape photo dated October 1st.
【Thousand Paper Cranes: Came to visit Brother Xiao on set~ 【Photos】 *2】
The background in this photo is very familiar to everyone; it's the entrance to the film and television base where "Time and Space Standoff" was filmed not long ago!
The main subject in the photo is the same giant mecha model that Huang Junhao had previously sent.
Later, after these mechs were placed at the entrance of the film and television base, they attracted many fans to come and take photos.
The owner of this account was no exception, except that she did not take a picture of herself, but instead raised her hand to hold a small figurine of the same model and took a picture with the giant mecha behind her.
Liu Rulan pointed to the small mecha model in her hand, which was only 30 centimeters tall, and said, "We didn't produce a small figurine of this mecha back then because of the movie's promotion, so it's obvious that she ordered it herself."
“However—” Liu Rulan paused, then continued, “She said in the comments section that it was a gift from a staff member.”
This raises a question: they never actually made this figurine, so it never existed! But thanks to the fabrication by the origami cranes, some fans in the comments section who don't have much discernment were misled into thinking that the item existed.
Just then, a "fan" asked if Qianzhihe would sell the figure. Qianzhihe directly refused and subtly suggested that people could go to the seafood market to find someone else to buy it.
So it's obvious that these miniature figures weren't made by Xiao He and his group. They shouldn't exist on the market. So, who did the other fans buy the miniature figures from from the seafood market?
It's still about the origami cranes, of course! She orchestrated this whole thing, with the ultimate goal of selling merchandise! She secretly collaborated with a manufacturer to produce identical items, then used fans' names to give the products an official connection, misleading other fans and making money off them.
Xiao He narrowed his eyes instantly.
That won't do! This is his future money bag.
