52: Tragic Old Sun

The Secretary, having anticipated this, quickly supported the Chairman and fed him a Fast-acting Heart-saving Pill.

Among the newly joined Streamers who reached a thousand online viewers, Luocheng University students accounted for fifty percent, and non-contracted Streamers reached eighty percent!

What did this concept mean? It meant that eighty percent of the newly joined Streamers were sent by the enemy.

The most incredible part was that it would have been fine if these college students were actually streaming, but they were all streaming to black screens.

Even that could be overlooked, but there were even more 'talented' ones who streamed themselves sleeping every day, and their schedules were quite regular.

They would start the stream punctually at ten at night, lie down, and start snoring—and even then, there were a thousand people watching!

Sun Zhenfeng raised his hand, his lips trembling with rage as he shouted,

"What is the Operations Department doing? They only found out now? Fire the person in charge! Immediately!"

The Secretary patted his back soothingly and said helplessly,

"We've been too busy lately, and all our attention was on other streaming companies. You can't really blame him."

Sun Zhenfeng knew this, of course, but the anger was bottled up so tightly that he felt suffocated; he had to find someone to vent it on!

"Investigate! Find out which company is behind this! I'll make them regret provoking me!"

Silver Star's situation was exactly the same as Sunset's, but they didn't dare end the event; doing so would cause them to collapse even harder and faster.

They could only swallow their grievances and endure it while everyone investigated who exactly was causing trouble behind the scenes.

Xinghui Company

The company's renovation was complete. All departments were now assigned to specific floors. The first floor was transformed into a place for relaxation, including reception, a cafeteria, rest areas, and entertainment.

The second and third floors were for business departments. Most departments were located on these two floors, all under Shen Qingning's management.

The fourth floor consisted of offices responsible for finance, logistics, and so on, all under Shen Jincheng's management.

The fifth, sixth, and seventh floors were dedicated streaming rooms. Makeup rooms, styling rooms, and the Operations Department specifically for the streaming sector were located here, all under Lin Shuyi's responsibility.

The eighth floor housed the executive offices. The CFO, COO, CTO, and CEO were all located on the eighth floor.

Jiang Chuan was currently in the CEO's office, reclining leisurely in his executive chair, using his phone to send Tang Ke a huge red envelope.

He asked her to transfer a portion to the Junior female students at Luoda University and then sent a 6,666-yuan red envelope to the streaming group chat.

He was rewarding them for successfully completing the plan, which was the most crucial step.

He had been preparing for so long; if his people were so easily poached, then he wouldn't be Jiang Chuan.

Opening the executive group chat, he simply sent four words, but their impact would be immeasurable!

"Begin the harvest!"

"Received!"

"Received!"

...Ever since Starlight's official Weibo had posted an insignificant announcement last time, there had been no further news.

Netizens had been paying attention at first, but after waiting several days and seeing no movement at all,

it seemed as if the marketing department had forgotten the password, and people gradually stopped paying attention.

Suddenly, after a week of silence, Starlight posted an announcement. All of Xinghui Company's Streamers reposted it immediately.

The news spread completely. Starlight's fans, Jiang Chuan's fans, and Xiao Yi's fans saw that Starlight finally had some movement.

Moved to tears of excitement, they quickly opened the message to see what exactly had been posted.

When they opened it, they were stunned. What kind of announcement was this? What kind of legitimate company's announcement didn't have a single word?

It only mentioned Sunset and Silver Star, and below was a nine-grid image layout without a single word of text.

Netizens opened it to see Starlight's account balance: a total of 69,470,000 yuan.

There was also a real estate certificate for an entire office building, valued at over 80 million yuan.

Evidence of all reward distributions, tracking numbers for mailed prizes, and receipts from recipients were also included.

Two properties, one office building, two cars, and a 70-million-yuan balance!

The fans went completely wild, tagging Sunset frantically in the comments.

"@Sunset, speak up! Didn't you say Jiang Chuan was a fake second-generation rich? Can you produce this much capital?"

"@Sunset, hilarious! False advertising is illegal, and so is spreading rumors, right?"

"@Sunset, playing dead, are we? Brothers and sisters! Storm his comment section!"

Just then, Starlight's official Weibo reposted another message—it was a Weibo post from Jiang Chuan.

Netizens stopped what they were doing; they could go to Sunset's comment section anytime, but this news was more important right now.

When they clicked on it, they instantly reached a collective peak of excitement. They felt that Jiang Chuan was acting way too cool! But it was indeed incredibly satisfying!

[I am not a second-generation rich, nor do I need investment companies. I, Jiang Chuan, am the largest investment company myself!]

"Holy crap! Boss Jiang is awesome! So cool!"

"Turning from a passerby into a fan! Boss Jiang is so domineering; this is exactly how you should slap Sunset's face!"

"Boss Jiang~ I have a sister who is eighteen and as beautiful as a flower. Would you mind being my sister's brother-in-law?"

...Sun Zhenfeng finally managed to calm his emotions. He turned and walked back into the conference room. Upon opening the door, he saw everyone quietly looking at their phones; the entire room was so silent you could hear a pin drop.

He didn't want Dong Changhai to know about the earlier incident and had composed himself before entering. Seeing the situation, he walked over curiously and asked with a smile,

"What are you all looking at? So serious? Let me see too!"

He walked behind the Vice General Manager and looked at the message on the phone. This time, he finally couldn't take it; he fell over unconscious, his bald head hitting the floor with a heavy thud.

For a moment, the entire conference room turned into a chaotic mess. People called for an ambulance and hurriedly carried the Chairman to the hospital.

"Out of the way! Out of the way!"

Sun Kai gripped his father's hand tightly, shouting at the company employees.

Sun Zhenfeng wasn't scared; he was enraged. Thinking about how all that capital had been pocketed by Jiang Chuan,

it felt worse than his wife having an affair. This was practically a form of... He woke up before long, already lying in a hospital bed. He snatched the phone from his son, who was keeping watch by his side.

It just so happened that Starlight's official Weibo had posted new information—it was a video, still without any text.

Sun Zhenfeng opened it and found the scene somewhat familiar. After watching for a moment, he realized what it was.

"Holy shit! Isn't this when I was pinned to the ground by the security guards?"

He quickly checked the comments. Unsurprisingly, rumors were already flying everywhere.

Posting this kind of video at this time, without text, was even more powerful than posting with text; human imagination is infinite.

"I was wondering why he didn't reply. Turns out he was pinned down by security, and his pants were practically pulled off!"

"He really can't reply. Understandable! Understandable!"

"Could it be that President Sun tried to sneak into Starlight and was caught by security? Did he want to sabotage Starlight's Money Tree?"

"What did the Money Tree ever do wrong..."

"I think he wanted to steal Starlight's secret data, otherwise there's no way he'd be pinned to the ground by security!"

Sun Zhenfeng didn't dare to keep reading; if he did, he'd be sentenced to death by public opinion. He quickly ordered,

"Quick! Issue a statement! This was at our own company!"

"President Sun, that probably isn't very important anymore..."

"What do you mean?"

"Look at the new announcement Starlight just posted..."
