61: It’s become popular!

"What's going on???"

Liyang Middle School's Li Principal looked at Qian Cheng in front of him with a gloomy face.

Qian Cheng's face was full of helplessness.

After a slight pause, he roughly recounted what had happened in the grading group, and then showed Guo Hao's original essay to Li Principal.

Although there were some excerpts of Guo Hao's essay in that press release.

But after all, not many excerpts were included.

Li Principal finished reading Guo Hao's essay and listened to Qian Cheng's narration.

His expression didn't change much.

Only the change in his eyes showed the turmoil in his heart.

"Regarding this matter, I still need to look into it."

Li Principal wasn't in a hurry to speak. He paused for a moment and said to Qian Cheng beside him.

After all, Qian Cheng was Liyang Middle School's best Chinese teacher.

One of the national-level master teachers.

No matter what, Li Principal would not want to abandon Qian Cheng, this master teacher!

What Li Principal thought of first was, what was Cai Chenggong's background?

To be able to easily get Changcheng Daily to publish such an article.

This Cai Chenggong's background is definitely not ordinary.

Therefore, Li Principal quickly called a few of his good friends at Changcheng No.1 High School, and even in the Gan Province Education Bureau.

Soon, Li Principal clarified Cai Chenggong's background.

His brows furrowed tightly.

"What's wrong? Li Principal?"

Qian Cheng looked at Li Principal in front of him, a hint of hesitation appearing in his eyes, and asked Li Principal.

"That Cai Chenggong has a very powerful background!"

Li Principal sighed slightly.

Qian Cheng's heart sank slightly. Although he had anticipated it, hearing Li Principal's words still made Qian Cheng feel a bit helpless.

He hadn't expected that someone he casually offended would actually be someone with a powerful background.

"Then President, what should we do now? How about I resign? I won't implicate you and Liyang Middle School."

After a moment of silence, Qian Cheng looked at the President in front of him and said.

"What's the rush?"

Li Principal glared at Qian Cheng and said to Qian Cheng unhappily.

"Aren't I thinking of a solution right now?"

Qian Cheng gave an awkward smile and didn't speak.

After a long silence, Li Principal looked at Qian Cheng beside him and said.

"As things stand, there is only one way left."

"What?"

Qian Cheng was slightly startled, looking at Li Principal beside him with some confusion.

Li Principal looked at Qian Cheng.

"Compared to Cai Chenggong in terms of background, we can't compete, but that essay, I've read it, and it is indeed a good essay.

It can even be called excellent. Even among the full-score essays of previous College Entrance Examinations, it can definitely hold its own."

"That's right! President, otherwise I wouldn't have given this essay a full score."

Qian Cheng said with a slight sense of helplessness.

"Therefore, your turning point lies in this essay!"

Li Principal smiled and said to Qian Cheng.

Qian Cheng was slightly startled, looking at Li Principal in front of him with confusion.

"You mean, we find a media outlet, write an article, and then publish the full text of this essay?"

"Media? Look, who in Gan Province dares to accept your article now?"

Li Principal gave Qian Cheng a look.

"Then what do you mean?"

"Traditional media is definitely out of the question. With Cai Chenggong's background, if you really dare to publish an article in the media, it will definitely not get through!

But in this era, besides traditional media, there's also online media!"

Li Principal smiled slightly, looking at Qian Cheng.

"Unlike traditional media, online media is more flexible, and once a trend starts online, its influence can even far surpass local media like Changcheng Daily.

It can even attract reporting from higher-level media outlets!"

Qian Cheng pondered for a moment. The development of online media in the past two years has been extremely fast.

Qian Cheng knew this.

But...

"The problem is, how should we create buzz online?"

"Other essays might not work well, but this essay happens to hit right on a trending online topic!"

Li Principal smiled slightly.

"This essay, combined with some actions on our part, its popularity will far exceed your expectations!"

"President, just tell me what to do! I'll listen!"

Li Principal smiled and roughly explained to Qian Cheng how this matter should be handled.

Liyang Middle School's counterattack!

It begins now!

The next day.

An essay gradually began to circulate online.

"Gan Province Mock College Entrance Examination Full Score Essay! Involving the Yueyue Incident! Don't Read It, You'll Regret It!"

Under the boost of this title.

That essay began to spread rapidly online.

"This essay is really well written!"

"Exactly, social credit, social responsibility, it's under the influence of one social incident after another that they slowly collapse!"

"That's right! And the media people who played a negative role in it, and that saying, 'If you didn't hit them, why did you help them?' These things severely damage everyone's sense of social responsibility!"

"Exactly! It's time to rectify these media outlets! Especially the current media education, for the sake of hot topics, these media truly don't hesitate to exploit people's suffering, it's utterly despicable!"

......

There were also many comments online.

Under the deliberate push of certain people, and linking it to the Yueyue Incident that just happened last year, the popularity of this essay grew higher and higher.

After a day of fermentation, that night, it climbed onto Weibo's trending searches!

After all, the shadow brought by the Yueyue Incident had not yet receded, and now, with some people fanning the flames.

Coupled with the fact that the essay itself was of good quality.

It quickly went viral.

It even quickly became popular.

And as this essay became popular, the editorial from Changcheng Daily that morning was also quickly put online by people.

It quickly drew widespread condemnation from a large number of netizens.

"Holy crap? What's the name of the person who wrote this article, Liu Xi or something? How shameless???"

"It is indeed shameless enough. It seems to be praising the author of the essay and defending high school students, but in reality, the entire article is saying 'What do high school students know? They don't know anything, they just talk nonsense in the article! They comment blindly!'"

High school students are not qualified to write about negative social news!"

"I'm dying of laughter. If high school students don't write, will that sense of social responsibility not collapse?? And I think this essay is very well written!"

"Exactly, the essay is clearly well-reasoned and well-supported, but these so-called media people are truly arrogant!"

"Yeah, it's probably because this essay hit a sore spot for these so-called media people! So funny!"

........

After Guo Hao ate the late-night snack his mother made, he sat next to the computer desk, opened his computer as usual, and after glancing at the current market value of bitcoin.

He casually opened Weibo news.

"Huh?"

Guo Hao saw the trending searches on Weibo.

He clicked it open and took a look, his eyes filled with surprise.
