Chapter 111 No way it'll trend on social media!

Seeing that Xiao Li did not seem to quite grasp his idea, Zhang Yunhe explained, "What we need to do now is to first use the dirt on Zhang Han to stir up the buzz, and at the same time, focus the attention of the majority of netizens on us in the shortest possible time."

"Once the general public knows that Zhang Han is no good, that's when places like Xiaohongshu, Douban, Tieba, and Bilibili will have their turn to shine."

"You have to understand, in a self-media public opinion war, you first need to use a precise talking point to grab the netizens' attention, and then use that as a foundation to blossom in multiple areas, understand?"

Zhang Yunhe broke from his usual routine and explained the intent behind his arrangement to Xiao Li with unusual patience.

As a veteran employee of the company, Xiao Li could not claim to be outstanding in terms of ability, but when it came to critical moments, he had absolutely no problem unconditionally and diligently executing his boss's ideas.

Xiao Li was seen bowing and scraping beside Zhang Yunhe with a sycophantic expression.

"Boss Zhang is brilliant! How did I not think of this move? Catching them off guard and blossoming in multiple areas—with such ingenious ideas from Boss Zhang, that kid named Zhang Han is definitely doomed this time. Serves him right for not knowing his place. Boss Zhang is truly brilliant!"

As Xiao Li spoke, he gave a thumbs up. He certainly provided Zhang Yunhe with plenty of emotional validation.

"Hahaha, Xiao Li, don't just flatter me. Actually, I've just been in this industry for many years and have a little bit of experience; I'm not that amazing."

"Boss Zhang, you are being truly modest. In the domestic self-media sector, who doesn't know your name? Your years of industry experience are enough to benefit any newcomer for a lifetime with just a glimpse."

"Boss Zhang, your move to have the dirt on Zhang Han hit the trending list first is comparable to having dinner with the God of Stocks. This is a move I'm afraid I couldn't learn even if I spent a lifetime studying it."

Xiao Li kept smiling and nodding like a chicken pecking at rice, his expression so sweet it was practically dripping honey.

Zhang Yunhe was very pleased with what he said, unable to suppress the corners of his mouth from turning up. He reached out with his right hand and patted Xiao Li on the shoulder: "Xiao Li, learn well. I was your age once, too. Work hard, and I'll try to get the company a new car next year."

"Yes, Boss, I will definitely work hard!" Xiao Li kept nodding and bowing, doing his best to look like a qualified lackey.

But at this moment, he felt incredibly depressed inside. Sigh, the life of a corporate slave is not easy. Even if the boss is an idiot, one still has to hold one's nose and kiss up to him. Xiao Li might not have other skills, but he certainly had the skill of buttering up the boss, and he was quite good at it!

In his excitement, Zhang Yunhe decided not to have Xiao Li direct things anymore; instead, he, the boss, personally directed the employees to start releasing the dirt on Zhang Han on Weibo.

Furthermore, he had the head of the company's PR department immediately contact Weibo's business department. The goal was to get this trending topic to the top of the list quickly.

As long as the trending topic could reach the top quickly, with Weibo's traffic, it would definitely get at least a million views in half an hour. With such terrifying traffic, even if Zhang Baoshan had three heads and six arms, it would be of no use.

Very quickly, the series of dirt on Zhang Han released by the MCN agency rapidly climbed to the top of the trending list.

"Sister Qiangwei is imprisoned; is the culprit, Zhang Han, actually this kind of person?"

The huge trending headline quickly attracted the attention of netizens. The employees operating in the conference room also reported positive feedback to Zhang Yunhe one after another.

Seeing that the dirt on Zhang Han had successfully hit the trending list, Zhang Yunhe lit a cigarette with satisfaction and blew out a long cloud of smoke.

"Zhang Han, let's see how you fight me!"

"Boss Zhang, Boss Zhang." Just as Zhang Yunhe was feeling complacent, an employee's voice pulled him back to reality.

He looked at the employee with dissatisfaction: "What is it? Look at your pathetic appearance. Did the sky fall?"

"It's not that, Boss Zhang, it's... it's..." The employee was so anxious he was incoherent.

"What is it? Speak!"

Zhang Yunhe was speechless; how did he hire so many idiots? After this matter was over, he would fire them all.

"Yes, Boss Zhang, the trending topic about the dirt on Zhang Han that we just posted was removed by Weibo less than ten seconds after it went up."

"What?" Zhang Yunhe thought he had misheard. He walked quickly to the computer and looked closely. Sure enough, the trending topic was really gone.

"Wasn't it on the trending list just now? How could such a big trending topic of mine just disappear?" Zhang Yunhe was completely baffled.

"No." Zhang Yunhe gritted his teeth: "Post it again. It's possible that Weibo's system server is having issues."

"If I remember correctly, there shouldn't be any entertainment industry trending topics tonight. I guess the server is acting up. Post it again."

Upon hearing this, the employee hurriedly complied. However, this time the trending topic didn't even last two seconds. It was removed immediately after being posted.

Zhang Yunhe was stunned. Damn it, has Weibo gone crazy today? I'm finally trying to get some real work done, and you're letting me down at a time like this?

Zhang Yunhe was, after all, a tough guy who started from scratch when he was young. How could he abandon his Plan B because of such a small matter?

"Post it again! I don't believe that this trending topic can't be posted today. What, is Zhang Han the father of their CEO Jia?"

After speaking, Zhang Yunhe directed the employee to post the trending topic again. However, this time it was still removed in less than two seconds. !!! Everyone was dumbfounded. Including Zhang Yunhe, no one understood this move by Weibo.

"Didn't you contact Weibo's business department before? We had an agreement that the trending spot was for our company tonight. What is going on?"

Zhang Yunhe realized something was wrong and immediately called over the head of the PR department, He Chao. He Chao, of course, already knew about the trending topic being removed.

He hurriedly said to Zhang Yunhe, "Boss Zhang, don't worry. Let me try. Is it possible that there was a mistake?"

Seeing this, Xiao Li, who was on the side, deliberately chimed in: "I say, He Chao, your PR department's ability to get things done is not up to par."

"Boss Zhang is waiting to expose Zhang Han's dirt. If Sister Qiangwei isn't released, how much money is our company going to lose?"

"You have to know, Sister Qiangwei is the pillar of our company. Everyone here depends on Boss Zhang and Sister Qiangwei for a living."

He Chao never expected that this son of a bitch, Xiao Li, would actually snipe at him in front of the boss at a time like this. But after all, their PR department had initiated this matter.

Now that something had gone wrong, the boss couldn't get the trending topic posted, and the task couldn't be completed. Even though he knew Xiao Li was taking the opportunity to settle a personal score, He Chao had no choice but to swallow it.

"Boss Zhang, don't be angry. Let me take a look. If it really doesn't work, I'll call the head of Weibo's business department immediately."

"Then hurry up! What are you dawdling for?" Zhang Yunhe roared at him impatiently. Frightened, He Chao hurriedly sat down at the computer and began to operate the trending topic.

However, this operation still didn't change anything. As soon as He Chao posted the dirt, it was removed in less than two seconds.

He Chao was also sweating profusely from anxiety. Plan B was the key to whether Sister Qiangwei could get out. If any mistakes happened along the way, he would have to pack his bags and go home.

For this reason, He Chao tried several more times in a row. But every time, the trending topic was removed instantly. Furthermore, because He Chao operated too frequently, his account was even banned.
