685: Who asked you to do this?
Fells suddenly remembered that Su Yue also had the identity of his assistant, and while serving as his assistant, he had even asked him about news of Su Yue. Now, the real person was standing right in front of him.
"We certainly want you, but we also know our limitations!" Deng Liduō looked at Su Yue's reaction and knew that Su Yue must have been aware of the plan Fells and Deng Liduō had back then.
"You should know that you're not the only ones who want me, right?" Su Yue looked at Deng Liduō and said with a smile.
After saying this, Su Yue left the place where Deng Liduō and Fells were.
Su Yue came here with two purposes.
One: To let them know that someone was manipulating things behind the scenes, and that person was Su Yue himself.
Two: To make them feel hostile towards Su Yue.
Before Su Yue even got home, he received a message on his phone.
"Shocking! Su Yue Appears at Restaurant! Popular Contestant's Grudge Entanglement."
When Su Yue saw this message, he couldn't help but laugh.
It seemed his second purpose had indeed been achieved.
Clicking in, he saw they had edited the surveillance footage. Now, it looked as if Deng Liduō and Fells were interrogating Su Yue.
Su Yue read the entire article.
His two-word evaluation: Truly foolish.
Su Yue knew that public opinion could only be guided, never finalized, but the information Deng Liduō and Fells were now giving to the public were all conclusions, like someone high above telling you the answer.
A truly skilled marketing account would never write like this.
Deng Liduō and Fells had no intention of associating with Su Yue. In their eyes, Su Yue was a ticking time bomb. Although his skills and thinking were top-notch, his stance in the world had always been in a grey area.
Such a person might attract the admiration of young people, but in the face of major issues, no one would support him. This was also the reason Fells and Deng Liduō were unwilling to get involved with Su Yue now.
How could Su Yue not guess their thoughts?
It was precisely because of this that Su Yue took such action.
"What should we do now? Although Fells was greatly stimulated by the fact that Su Yue was his assistant, he has seen big waves before and should be able to recover!"
"We must take the initiative!" Although Deng Liduō had been dealing with Su Yue, he had never realized Su Yue was right beside him.
Su Yue was truly too deeply hidden.
Deng Liduō pondered for a moment and said to Fells, "We must strike first!"
Fells contacted a news site, trying to turn the tide of public opinion, but the result was just as Su Yue expected. The comment section was full of people cursing the author.
"Nonsense, just spouting hot air!"
"Are they being controlled?"
"No opinion of their own, completely unfit to publish articles."
The comment section was mainly negative comments. Fells and Deng Liduō didn't misjudge; Su Yue was indeed highly popular among many young people, and some slandered him, but they overlooked that the most active group on the internet were these young people.
"Trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice," Su Yue watched as public opinion overwhelmingly supported him, and then began to target a popular website, where almost all young people gathered.
"Earth-shattering Reversal, Who is on the Side of Justice?" Su Yue recorded his audio and uploaded it.
The audio content was Su Yue's negotiation with Fells, but most of it didn't reveal too much information, simply showcasing Su Yue's complete dominance. After all, this kind of villainous character is more captivating in such situations.
"No way? Our higher-ups are so cowardly?"
"Is this the state apparatus we've been relying on?"
"Oh my god, I even want Su Yue to be our President. This aura is amazing."
"Adding one above, maybe Great God Su Yue can even solve our discrimination problem."
"Stop arguing above, let our Brother Su Yue walk his flower path properly!"
Su Yue scrolled through the post that received tens of millions of comments in less than 5 minutes and couldn't help but laugh. Choosing the right website was one thing; the key was that it had been 3 hours since Fells and Deng Liduō published the news article accusing Su Yue.
There were only over 500 comments below, and most of them were scolding the main writer of the article.
Su Yue's move was meant to tell Fells and Deng Liduō that he was a person with real strength, and going against him would definitely not lead to good days!
"What should we do now? This move clearly isn't working! Oh my god, I'm being cyberbullied!" Fells looked at the comments constantly scolding him and felt very uncomfortable.
"Now, now what should we do?" Deng Liduō was pacing back and forth like an ant on a hot pan, anxious.
"We are both being severely scolded by the public." Fells noticed that his scolding was nearly 200 entries more than Deng Liduō's, making him even more unhappy.
"It was a scene for two people, why didn't he get a share?" Fells looked at Deng Liduō resentfully.
"Should we not have published that article just now?" Deng Liduō was now completely lacking confidence, constantly questioning his decision just now.
But there was nothing he could do; the outcome was skewed towards Su Yue.
Deng Liduō even suspected he was a villainous character, reduced to cannon fodder to highlight the hero of justice.
That wouldn't do.
"What's wrong?" Fells saw Deng Liduō looking nervous and not speaking.
"Nothing, it's just completely hopeless!" Deng Liduō became even more disheartened when asked this way and didn't know how to answer Fells.
"Knock, knock! Excuse me, is this the takeout you ordered?" Fells heard the knocking and knew his ordered takeout was working.
"You... you... why are you here again?" Fells pointed at the delivery driver and said in surprise.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Deng Liduō heard Fells' surprised voice from inside the room, not knowing what happened, and quickly walked over.
"What? Are you planning to track us completely now?" Deng Liduō understood as soon as he saw the delivery driver.
"Excuse me, what are you talking about?" The delivery driver looked at the two people in front of him, completely confused, not understanding what was happening at all.
"Are you still pretending?" Fells was completely enraged. He had already lost the online battle just now. What did Su Yue mean by coming over now?
"I, I really don't know what you're talking about!" The delivery driver looked at the two people surrounding him with a timid expression.
"Please... please give me a good review!" After saying that, the delivery driver planned to slip away quickly. In this situation, any normal person could tell something was wrong.
"Wait a minute, don't go!" It was only when the delivery driver turned around that Deng Liduō realized he wasn't Su Yue at all. First, Su Yue was taller than him, and from the side profile, it was clear he wasn't the same person as Su Yue.
It just looked similar from that angle just now, a slightly upward-looking angle.

"Okay, sir, is there anything else?" Fells had already seen that this person was not Su Yue at all.
"Me? I can earn over 3,000 a month if things are good, and if not, there are times when I only earn over 1,000 a month!" The delivery driver thought this was a survey and answered very kindly.
"I'll give you 30,000 US dollars a month. Do you want to work with us? I can show you 30,000 US dollars right now!" The terms offered by Deng Liduō were very tempting.
This was mainly because Deng Liduō had already decided that he was determined to achieve this.
The delivery driver Luo Lisheng was kept by Deng Liduō; he was their great treasure. They really hadn't expected that heaven would be so helpful, allowing Deng Liduō to find a countermeasure so quickly.
"So how do we use him now?" Fells settled the delivery driver Luo Lisheng in the office's rest area. He had just given him 30,000 US dollars, so he was now Deng Liduō and Fells' person.
"I plan to have him appear in our news live broadcast." Deng Liduō smiled sinisterly.
"You mean..." Fells immediately understood Deng Liduō's plan.
Having Su Yue appear in the live broadcast, their appearances were so similar that most people wouldn't notice the flaw. As long as the angle was controlled well at the time, Su Yue wouldn't be able to refute it in front of the public.
"However, let's try a live broadcast first to test the waters!" Fells thought more thoroughly than Deng Liduō. This matter still needed to be handled carefully. Perhaps Su Yue being their assistant had left a shadow on them.
"Alright, but after the live broadcast, what should we say?" Deng Liduō suddenly started to worry, but it was a happy, joyful worry!
Deng Liduō and Fells were now like holding a trump card in their hands, they just didn't know how to use it.
"Train him first! We can't let him make mistakes." Facing the public, the delivery driver's attitude towards them just now definitely wouldn't work, so the two of them had to train the delivery driver Luo Lisheng.
To make him into the real Su Yue.
"I've thought of something even better." Fells looked at Deng Liduō. If this matter could be accomplished, Deng Liduō would basically have no threat.
"Tell me!" Deng Liduō had already started preparing the plan to train Luo Lisheng.
Have Minsweite and the Governor arrest Su Yue. Deng Liduō didn't understand what that meant for a moment.
"You mean?" Deng Liduō looked at Fells in confusion.
"We continuously release information that is unfavorable to Su Yue, this way we can mislead the public. Only those who can capture Su Yue are qualified to ascend to the President's seat."
"This way, Minsweite, as well as Tex and the Governor, will definitely rack their brains to find ways to capture Su Yue to win the public's votes."
"And at this time, we will use the fake Su Yue, and our reputation and momentum will definitely reverse instantly!" Fells seemed to have already seen the admiration of the public and the media towards them at that time.
"Excellent, you're right. This is how to maximize benefits! We're killing multiple birds with one stone!" Deng Liduō looked at Fells in surprise.
"Let's do it!"
Deng Liduō began training the delivery driver Luo Lisheng.
"Su Yue mainly has a few major characteristics."
"First, calmness. He can remain expressionless in front of anything and can analyze the best outcome to maximize Su Yue's interests."
"Second, rich facial expressions. As a top-notch swindler, Su Yue has extraordinary imitation ability, which allows him to say appropriate things in any situation. The situations you will face are only two: a live broadcast room and a press conference. The live broadcast room is a bit better; I will guide you on the spot."
"But during a press conference, it's difficult for us to help you quickly. You need to have a deep understanding of the character Su Yue!" Deng Liduō said seriously.
After hearing this, Luo Lisheng couldn't help but smile. When Deng Liduō saw it, he immediately said, "You are not allowed to laugh. This angle is too unlike Su Yue."
"Su Yue's smile is either unfathomable or very disdainful. Your current smile is very unqualified." Deng Liduō's seriousness made Luo Lisheng immediately stop smiling.
"Do I need to stay here for a long time?" Luo Lisheng was originally immersed in the good news of getting 30,000 US dollars, but now he truly felt: "Offended again."
"What? Thinking of regretting now? Let me tell you, that's impossible. Because the agreement you signed with us states that if you leave our sight without permission, you will be in breach of contract. You know what you'll face, right?" Deng Liduō threatened Luo Lisheng to avoid that situation from happening.
"Okay, I understand." Luo Lisheng could only suppress his displeasure and continue training with Deng Liduō.
"When you face the camera, you absolutely must not turn your head, because that angle will directly expose the fact that you are not Su Yue at all." Deng Liduō had observed Luo Lisheng for so long.
Really, he only looked very similar when viewed from a front upward angle.
But once he deviated from that state, it was immediately obvious that he wasn't Su Yue at all.
"You mean, in the future, when I'm in a live broadcast or a press conference, I have to maintain this posture?" Luo Lisheng immediately wanted to give up.
Anyway, he didn't have those liquidated damages, they could do whatever they wanted.
"For the live broadcast time, one hour counts as 30,000 US dollars, and the time on that day is calculated separately!" Deng Liduō knew that the best way to deal with such people was with money.
Give them what they want.
It was that simple.
"Okay, then I will definitely cooperate actively!" Luo Lisheng originally wanted to say it with a smile to Deng Liduō, but thinking of the scene just now, he decided against it! So he said it to him with a straight face.
"Hmm, not bad, the expression now has some of Su Yue's charm." Deng Liduō was very satisfied with Luo Lisheng's current state.
Money may not be everything!
But this evil power of capital.
While Deng Liduō here had some success, Fells there also achieved quite good results.
Now the internet was full of dissatisfaction with the ruling party.
"What? Now Su Yue can even threaten our future rulers, they can't even protect our safety."
"Let them all go to hell! More capable people, come quickly!"
"If you ask me, Su Yue is indeed very strong, we can't deny it. After all, he is someone who can get out of prison, isn't he!"
"The one above is right, how could Su Yue be such a simple person?"
"Indeed, Su Yue is very strong, but he can even threaten our potential future President. Doesn't this mean our current safety is no longer guaranteed?"
"Everyone, don't forget what Su Yue does! Swindling, okay! You've all beautified him!"
Fells looked at everyone's comments and couldn't help but secretly rejoice.
Fells sent all the comments below to Deng Liduō. Deng Liduō looked at Luo Lisheng, who was almost identical to Su Yue when he didn't speak, and felt incredibly pleased.
"Maybe, the imposing Su Yue is about to fall into our hands!"
Days flew by. Deng Liduō was wondering how Luo Lisheng's training was going, and Fells was also making rapid progress. Minsweite and the Governor were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, searching everywhere for Su Yue's whereabouts.
Everyone's enthusiasm for capturing Su Yue was rising in waves, getting higher and higher.
Deng Liduō was anxious, and Minsweite and the Governor were also anxious. Their rankings had always been suppressed by Deng Liduō. Once the simulated election started, public voting would close.
