The manager sighed and felt worried. If his employees hadn’t consulted him and went to publish the news, his media company would have been doomed.
Everybody knew that the president loved his wife a lot, and he definitely wouldn’t dig his own grave.
He didn’t even know if the documents were true or not! Even if they were, he didn’t dare to publish it too.
His company didn’t need to exchange that risk for the boost in sales and viewership.
“Only idiots will report on it! If you’re not an idiot, go back and do your job well! You should just destroy such information. You can only report on how wonderful the president and his wife are. Pretend you’ve never seen anything else.”
“Yes, sir.”
Meanwhile, other media companies adopted the same strategy too.
Reading through their almost-released news, the boss of one of the companies raged. “A whole bunch of morons! Why did I even hire all of you? How could you even think of publishing such news? Are you running out of materials to write about?”
“Look at all of you! Have you lost your mind? Should you be reporting about such news?”
“Your heads have gone all rusty! You’re just sending yourselves to your own graves! Do you know what you’re doing? Do I have to spell it out for you?”
“I’m so exasperated! It’s a good thing I found out before the news was released. Just wait to be fired!”
“You’re making me so mad! You don’t put in effort in your work and just think of exploiting opportunities. You can’t report on this!”
“Who agreed to publishing this? Own up now! Who wrote this article? I’m taking away your pay this month. Count your lucky stars that I didn’t fire you! I slogged so hard to set up this company. Do you think that money comes by so easily?”
“I still want to work for several more years, but all of you are making things so difficult for me! It’s so annoying!”
…
Every single media company in Country X collectively chose to ignore those documents, destroying it instantaneously.
He Meichun and Chi Jiajia waited gleefully for the news to go viral. After waiting for a day, they still hadn’t heard anything, so she asked her subordinates to check on it. They told her that no one would ever report on the first lady’s news.
Chi Jiajia was so livid that she slammed her head against the railings. She had truly underestimated Bai Yaoyao’s influence.
If they won’t report on it, she would do it herself. With the internet, she could post anything she wanted to.
But Chi Jiajia wasn’t stupid too. In order not to reveal her IP address, she found a computer elsewhere and uploaded Bai Yaoyao’s information.
After that, Chi Jiajia immediately returned to the Chi family.
Upon arrival, she switched on her computer and realized that within this short period of time, her post had already amassed thousands of comments and views. The hits were growing exponentially.
Chi Jiajia burst out laughing. “Bai Yaoyao, let’s see what you can do now. You want to become the first lady? Dream on!”
He Meichun watched by the side and gloated happily. “Jiajia, you’re so smart.”
…
Meanwhile, Bai Yaoyao was choosing accessories at home and didn’t know what was happening online.
“Bixue, he prepared so much jewelry for me. My head is spinning just looking at all of it.”
“You can just choose a few that you like.”
Bai Yaoyao picked up the jewelry box and said, “I think I prefer a simpler look. I don’t really care about such materialistic things.”
When Duan Yanhao returned, he overheard her words. Walking towards her, he said, “I care, even if you don’t. I don’t want you to be deprived of anything. I can give you anything in this world.”
