Chapter 509: Visiting the Film Set! On the Hot Search Again! Unfortunately, It's for Being Scolded!

As for the thousand job positions, they were naturally meant to catch the eye.

Too few positions wouldn't be explosive enough!

Moreover, even if a thousand people came, Jiuxiang Food could absorb them, though the sales pressure would be immense!

Watching the increasing number of comments, Su Yang decided to let the bullet fly for a while; public opinion needed time to ferment!

By evening, local media joined in, including some official media outlets.

They were mainly promoting the government's efforts in solving the employment problem for fresh graduates.

Among these reports, the fact that Jiuxiang Food provided 1,000 positions for Yanhu Vocational School graduates was mentioned.

They also emphasized the long-term cooperative relationship established between Yanhu Vocational School and Jiuxiang Food not long ago, which was already old news.

Meanwhile, the film crew's shooting was nearing its end, to be followed by a lengthy post-production phase.

The correct version is being read! First published in this novel.

In all of this, there was certainly manipulation by Spark Entertainment! By noon, Su Yang received news from Yu Siying that Spark Entertainment had begun its move. Before long, videos criticizing Yanhu Vocational School started appearing on Douyin accounts!

However, Su Yang had great confidence in the employees of his own film and television company.

"Isn't this school about to make a fortune?"

Nevertheless, those few comments accusing Yanhu Vocational School of making blood money were still pinned at the very top.

But they were scolded onto the hot search! In the conference room of Yanhu Vocational School, Su Yang sat in the main seat, smiling as he looked at Chen Qingzhou and said:

"'It's still thanks to the efforts of the school leadership...' This is hilarious. They act so proud of sending students to a food factory to work as laborers!"

Su Yang nodded. "I understand!"

"It's really not great!" Chen Qingzhou took a deep breath and said, "The superiors want us to find a solution, and other competitors are watching us like a joke... I was even scolded in my neighborhood's WeChat group yesterday!"

Every time she saw Su Yang, she felt a bit afraid and a bit shy.

With the intense emotional output from these self-media bloggers, combined with the traffic push from Spark Entertainment, the videos quickly gained the attention of many netizens.

It was hard for her to describe exactly what kind of feelings she had for Su Yang! She originally thought everything was just a transaction, but during Su Yang's month-long absence this time, she would find herself thinking of him from time to time...

"Of course it's true!"

Subsequently, it was leaked from within Yanhu Vocational School that the glowing Principal Chen Qingzhou had, in the large conference room, very proudly and boastfully told the entire faculty and staff how the school had "struggled" to secure the quota of a thousand positions from Jiuxiang Food.

Those speaking up for Jiuxiang Food were likely a minority of locals who knew the company, or its employees.

Even his wife and father-in-law asked him if he had really sold the students to a factory.

Gradually, she became anxious! Had she misinterpreted things? Was the boss not coming? Distraught until eleven o'clock, she finally heard a knock on the door.

"Also, our admissions office said that many teachers and schools we had talked to are no longer willing to cooperate... Our reputation has soured a bit!"

"Who is it?"

Hearing the voice, she suddenly jumped up from the bed and hurried to the door... Then she tidied her hair and, with a very calm expression, slowly opened the door.

Chen Qingzhou nodded helplessly.

In any case, it was Longjiu Group's money being spent, so Su Yang didn't feel the least bit of heartache! He looked to the side at An Xinlei, who had been keeping her distance and had only greeted him once since he arrived; he couldn't help but smile.

After taking a good bath, she played with her phone while checking the time every now and then.

An Xinlei nodded calmly and then welcomed Su Yang inside.

Could it be that I like the boss? After the film crew finished for the day, An Xinlei did not get directly into Su Yang's car but returned to the hotel instead.

"Exactly! Look at that attitude, they won't even let the students go after graduation!"

"..."

Many short video bloggers cited Yanhu Vocational School's recent announcement about providing general labor positions at a food factory for students, all believing that Yanhu must have taken money from the factory, since food factories are notorious for poor benefits!

By the next day, the comments under Yanhu Vocational School's video had exceeded two hundred.

"It's me!"

There were also bloggers criticizing Yanhu for sugarcoating employment rates, and then expanding their criticism to other schools.

Despite Jiuxiang Food's decent national sales, its local brand recognition wasn't fully established, and not many people actually knew about it.

"The environment in a food factory is even worse than an electronics factory; even a dog wouldn't go... The school definitely took money and is hypocritically acting like a saint, singing its own praises. It's disgusting!"

The professional quality of these employees was absolutely top-notch; many had been personally selected by him!

Over the past two days, he had already felt the pressure.

As the principal, he had quite a high status in the neighborhood's WeChat group! But when he woke up this morning, he saw someone @ him in the group and give him a thorough scolding! "Sigh!" Su Yang patted Chen Qingzhou's shoulder, "Principal Chen, you've worked hard!"

Seeing the traffic, even more self-media bloggers joined in to fan the flames!

Su Yang also saw some people speaking up for Yanhu Vocational School and Jiuxiang Food.

"Principal Chen, how does it feel? This must be the first time the school has become famous nationwide, right?"

As soon as An Xinlei met Su Yang's gaze, she slowly lowered her head, not daring to look him in the eye!

Once this video was exposed, besides increasing the heat, it formed a sharp contrast with the promotional video from a while ago where Yanhu Vocational School claimed it wanted to build the province's top private vocational college. This provided even more material for those self-media bloggers.

Judging by the tone, those speaking for Yanhu Vocational School should be students.

After work, Su Yang thought for a moment and decided to visit Chen Tao and An Xinlei at the film set!

Su Yang said with a smile, "Sorry, I ran into an acquaintance just now, so I was delayed for a bit!"

Without any surprise, on the third day after Yanhu Vocational School posted the Douyin video, the news of "Yanhu Vocational School sending a thousand graduates into factories" directly hit the hot searches on the Douyin and Baidu platforms.

Many ordinary people might be surprised to hear that a certain well-known national company is a local enterprise, mainly because they haven't paid much attention.

"Mhm!"

Su Yang asked curiously, "Really?"

There was even a video of all the school's teachers and counselors actively promoting the matter to students and encouraging those who hadn't found jobs yet to enthusiastically sign up for the factory!

At the film set, Su Yang chatted with Director Xu Qian and learned that advertisements for Chizhu Wine Industry had also been integrated into the TV series.

Including many Bilibili content creators, many parody-style edited videos that were popular in the past appeared! As the principal, Chen Qingzhou even gained a certain level of fame on Bilibili!

Correct version in reading! First published in this novel.

Principal Xu Xiaoyun asked in a low voice, "Boss, can we really clear our name? This kind of promotion is a bit risky... I'm worried it might backfire and we won't be able to control public opinion!"

If they blackened their own name and couldn't clear it, it would be too embarrassing! In Xu Xiaoyun's view, the boss was making a risky move! "Who told the public to love scandals so much?" Su Yang shrugged, "This is the most cost-effective way to promote!"

Xu Xiaoyun nodded helplessly. "Mhm."

Su Yang then smiled confidently, "Don't worry, we have a trump card. We can definitely turn the tables!"
