393: Shoot a video

Xiang Yang and everyone had a blast eating hot pot at Heli Lao Hotpot.

Because the people Xiang Yang recruited were all going to join Feihuang Advertising Company, they were the company's own employees.

So, whether they ate at Feihuang Restaurant or Heli 撈, it was free.

After eating and drinking their fill, Xiang Yang said, "Heli Lao Hotpot is just one of the branch companies under our Feihuang Group. How's the taste? Not bad, right?"

The young man named Zhuo Zhengchu gave a big thumbs up: "Awesome!"

"Whether it's the taste or the ingredients, Heli 撈 is the pinnacle of the hot pot industry."

"Especially the service, it's beyond words!"

The others echoed, "I've never eaten such delicious hot pot. If it had come to Shen City earlier, it would have been popular long ago!"

Everyone deeply agreed.

Xiang Yang said, "Of course!"

"Our Heli Lao Hotpot in Shen City covers a terrifying five thousand square meters. Look, how many empty seats are there now?"

Because the entire first basement floor belongs to Feihuang Group, there's a thirty-thousand-square-meter supermarket, a ten-thousand-square-meter Feihuang Restaurant, and a five-thousand-square-meter Heli Lao Hotpot.

As for the other five thousand square meters, they are for warehouses and equipment rooms.

Zhuo Zhengchu quietly asked, "President Xiang, when we work at Feihuang, can we really eat hot pot for free in the future?"

The others also looked expectant.

Even though they had some popularity in short videos, their income was not stable.

They usually couldn't bear to eat such high-end hot pot.

Xiang Yang said, "Don't worry, both Feihuang Restaurant and Heli Lao Hotpot are completely free."

"Besides that, Feihuang Group has many other benefits; you'll find out later."

After eating, Xiang Yang took the napkin Zhuo Zhengchu handed him to wipe his mouth. "Now that we've eaten and signed the contracts, I have a task for you!"

"What task?" Everyone looked at Xiang Yang.

Xiang Yang took out his phone and placed it on the table, playing various videos slandering Feihuang.

"I'm sure many of you know that a lot of people are slandering our Feihuang online, right?" Xiang Yang said.

Zhuo Zhengchu quickly said, "From my experience, I can tell at a glance that someone is hiring internet trolls to intentionally defame our Feihuang!"

"Fan Xiu, as a seasoned internet troll leader, you should have experience, right?"

Fan Xiu was a young man, but he was very good at social etiquette, constantly pouring drinks for Xiang Yang by his side.

Hearing this, Fan Xiu repeatedly said, "Someone offered a large sum of money to hire me to defame Feihuang, but a person should have a conscience, so I didn't take that job."

Zhuo Zhengchu looked at Fan Xiu with a disbelieving expression.

The others were the same.

Xiang Yang said, "That's enough to fool kids. We're all old foxes, what's with the pretense?"

Fan Xiu immediately confessed, "Alright, although I highly approve of Feihuang, the other party offered more money."

"You also know that I make a living from this, so it's impossible for me to be at odds with money."

"But don't worry, I've been recruited now. From now on, whoever you want me to slander, I'll slander them!"

His salary reached a terrifying eighty thousand a month, and it was after-tax salary.

With such a high salary, who would still do such an uncertain job?

Xiang Yang didn't quite trust Fan Xiu, but he trusted money.

Xiang Yang said, "Alright, enough talk. Feihuang has established an advertising company."

"The advertising company now has only one mission: whoever slanders Feihuang, we'll retort against them!"

"Additionally, five million has been allocated from above. Let's discuss together what equipment to buy."

Hearing that five million was just for buying equipment, everyone felt it was too much.

Xiang Yang said grandly, "The boss said it must be spent completely!"

"Money is nothing; after spending it, the boss will continue to provide more. There's only one requirement, and that is to achieve results by retorting."

Fan Xiu asked, "What kind of results?"

Xiang Yang said, "Without using foul language, make Yamai Murayu cry. The more miserable, the better!"

"If you do well, I'll apply for bonuses for you from above."

Fan Xiu immediately patted his chest and guaranteed that there would be no problem.

...

The next day, Feihuang Restaurant's temporary office.

Liu Gaoda pushed the door open and walked in, seeing seven people debugging equipment inside.

"Liu Zong!" Xiang Yang quickly introduced Liu Gaoda, "This is Zhuo Zhengchu, a seasoned joke writer."

"This young man is Fan Xiu, the leader of internet trolls."

"This is a video editing master!"

It's not about quantity, but quality.

Liu Gaoda was very happy and shook hands with each of them.

"Hello, Liu Zong!"

"Liu Zong, I've long admired your name!"

Everyone was very enthusiastic.

Liu Gaoda laughed loudly, "With you all at Feihuang Advertising Company, I'm relieved!"

"Xiang Yang, can we start shooting the video now?"

The professional photographer said, "All equipment is ready; we can start anytime."

Zhuo Zhengchu handed over a small notebook, "Liu Zong, this is what I wrote last night. What do you think?"

Liu Gaoda took the notebook, read it carefully, and couldn't help but frown.

"Not quite," Liu Gaoda shook his head.

Zhuo Zhengchu immediately panicked.

His salary at Feihuang was not low, and if he performed poorly, Liu Gaoda might think he was incompetent and he could very likely be laid off.

"Liu Zong, please guide me," Zhuo Zhengchu quickly asked humbly.

Liu Gaoda said, "It's a bit too refined; it doesn't convey the domineering spirit and our Feihuang Group's sense of responsibility."

"As an enterprise, you can't insult people like children playing house!"

"You have to insult the other party in such a way that they can't find a reason to refute."

"Here, I'll do a segment first, and you write according to my direction!"

So, everyone stood aside, and the photographer got ready to shoot.

Liu Gaoda faced the camera, coughed twice, and then began to gesticulate wildly.

"Feihuang! Feihuang! I'm the strongest!"

"Shanjing, Shanjing, Kameida Ichiro!"

"You online trolls, your great-grandfather is here!"

"Taking money to slander our Feihuang, how shameless!"

"I didn't want to bother with you, but I didn't expect you to get addicted to slandering!"

"And those news people, why don't you provide some real news!"

"Don't always say 'according to online rumors,' or 'some netizens say...'"

"If netizens are saying it, what's the point of you news people?"

"You're not even as good as paparazzi; at least paparazzi stake out and follow people!"

"What about you?"

"You just find what others say online and repeat it?"

"If you've taken money, then do a good job for Shanjing. Get some real news out yourselves; don't always be lazy and cunning!"

"And those online haters, if you want to slander, come slander me! Your great-grandfather is here, not afraid of your slandering!"

"Isn't it just cyberbullying?"

"Come on, who's afraid of whom? Turtles are afraid of hammers, and I'll hammer you to death!"

Liu Gaoda was both retorting and making gestures.

He extended his two ring fingers, held them up high, and then pressed them down hard.

That disdainful expression, as if they were all turtle sons.

Everyone was stunned.

So...crazy, cool, and awesome?

So...despicable?
