Volume 5: Blossom and Fruit 2018 Chapter 889
"Hahaha, I didn't think that you would have this day. You were actually used as a shield by others!" An extremely gloating voice came from the other end of the phone.
Who else could it be other than Principal Wang?
Perhaps it was because he was used to seeing Zhou Dongsheng soar to the top, so when he suddenly encountered such an unexpected incident, it was really hard for Principal Wang not to gloat over it.
After all, it is human nature to be afraid that brothers will suffer and to be afraid that brothers will drive a Land Rover. This is a common phenomenon. Even if two people have a good relationship, it is impossible to avoid such things.
Especially since he was at the peak of his career in the past, while Zhou Dongsheng was just an unknown young man just starting out. Now that the roles have been reversed, this subtle psychological gap is also intriguing.
Regardless of the situation, it is natural to just watch the joke and have fun as a friend.
After all, this little episode could not possibly cause much impact, and both of them were undoubtedly well aware of this.
If a friend falls down, many people’s first reaction is to use their mobile phones to record the ugly photo of the other person. However, if it is an accident, then it is naturally a different situation.
In response, Zhou Dongsheng just said unhappily: "It seems that you just came here to laugh at me, right? I originally prepared a big gift for your birthday, but now, the gift is gone..."
In previous years, the opening drama of the year was often kicked off with Principal Wang’s various extravagant birthday parties, but now times have changed. This year, Principal Wang chose to be low-key, and his birthday party was also held in a relatively low-key manner.
Of course, the so-called low-key is only relative. For ordinary people, it is still unimaginable luxury. It is just that compared with the previous grand gestures, it has undoubtedly been restrained a lot.
"Hahaha, I think this is the best birthday present you've ever given me. It's so hard to see you get humiliated. It's such a relief..."
Unexpectedly, Principal Wang didn't care at all, but continued to rub salt into the wound. After all, who wouldn't feel bad if such an unexpected disaster happened to them?
Of course, although the two of them have a good relationship, they still have to know when to stop joking around. If they make someone angry, it would be too much.
So Principal Wang changed the subject and said with interest: "But I have to say, they are really brave. They dare to use you as a shield. Is it because you have a good temper that others think you are easy to bully?"
Principal Wang couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
Zhou Dongsheng didn't take it seriously and said calmly, "I am a grassroots person who started from scratch. Even if I have a fortune, I don't have a backer that people can respect."
"Although I feel that you are being sarcastic, I have no evidence... How about you respond strongly and fight back ? As a billionaire, can you be treated as a soft persimmon?"
Principal Wang joked with a grin that although he had passed his birthday and was already over 30 years old, and had also encountered a turning point in his life, his mentality was obviously still very good.
After all, Rome wasn’t built in a day, and it won’t collapse overnight, right?
"I was just about to do something when you interrupted me..." Zhou Dongsheng retorted sarcastically.
"Luckily I ran fast. If I had run slower, I would have missed the opportunity to laugh at you. If I wasn't in Sanya, I would have laughed at you in person..."
Principal Wang continued to chatter, and from his reaction it was not difficult to see how rare this opportunity was...
"Okay, no need to remind me. I will be there on time on your birthday to give you my sincere blessings as you are turning thirty."
Zhou Dongsheng scolded with a smile, and emphasized the age.
Principal Wang didn't get angry when he heard this. After all, in terms of age, Zhou Dongsheng was not only much younger than him, but his current achievements were far beyond the reach of even a rich second-generation like himself who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth!
Whether in investment or entrepreneurship, the gap has already widened a long way without anyone noticing, and it is foreseeable that...
This distance will continue to grow.
"Okay, then I'll wait and see. I'll go to the first melon-eating scene and wait for your move..." Principal Wang, a high-intensity Internet surfing contestant, said excitedly.
To a certain extent, for those who have lost their "troubles", the fun in life is undoubtedly the most precious thing.
Money is easy to make, but fun is hard to find!
The same is true for Zhou Dongsheng. He didn't expect that the first big drama of the year would actually arrange such a small episode for him. Although it was an unexpected incident...
But for Zhou Dongsheng, having fun is more important than anything else, so he certainly won't be the scapegoat.
Therefore, Zhou Dongsheng did not choose to play any roundabout tricks, but decisively chose to respond to the matter face to face on the front battlefield of Weibo and fire directly!
After all, we are right, so what do we have to fear? Our goal is to win people over with virtue.
Thinking of this, Zhou Dongsheng decisively took out his mobile phone, opened his personal account, and began to edit the copy, with the main focus on truth.
Apart from "Zhou Dongsheng's Boring Life", which requires team support, Zhou Dongsheng's personal account has always been managed by him personally, without the need to trouble others.
And now, as one of the protagonists who is innocently caught in the whirlpool of public opinion, as long as Zhou Dongsheng responds, he will be pushed to the forefront by the swarming crowd without even any support.
It can even be said that there have been countless pairs of eyes staring at Zhou Dongsheng, waiting for him to add fuel to the fire and give him a raise, to add fuel to this big drama at the beginning of the year.
I was used to being a spectator in the crowd, so this time I decided to be a melon-splitter to help everyone have fun. I'll just take it as a New Year's blessing and also as a way to have fun.
So Zhou Dongsheng edited a response according to his own ideas without thinking and sent it out.
To this day, Zhou Dongsheng does not need to be restrained in most matters, unless it is something that crosses the red line and means death.
Once you're used to this steady life, it's okay to have a little fun occasionally.
"Haha, I didn't expect that I could get shot even when I was lying down. I was used as a shield by others. Since that's the case, I might as well respond. I'm single and unmarried, and I've never thought of becoming a thief. On the other hand, other people not only thought about it, but also did it... I won't say more, I'm going to get my hair done!"
With Zhou Dongsheng's current influence, this simple sentence almost instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the onlookers. In just one minute, there were already more than a thousand comments in the comment section.
At the same time, the popularity skyrocketed at a speed visible to the naked eye. The five words "Zhou Dongsheng's response" instantly landed in the top three of the hot search list, and rushed directly to the first place at lightning speed.
At the same time, keywords derived from this passage also made it onto the hot search list. Hot search terms such as "doing hair" and "what does Cao thief mean" all dominated the list under the passionate searches of the onlookers.
"Fuck! Zhou Dongsheng responded, but what does this Cao thief mean?"
"Great! It took me a while to realize what you meant. Dongsheng can talk."
"Good fellow, I wanted to use a weakling as a shield, but I didn't expect to hit a wall. Is Zhou Dongsheng easy to mess with?"
"The last famous film critic who provoked Zhou Dongsheng even handed over his number. How about another bet, Dongsheng?"
"What a hairdresser! Dongsheng has spoken, so this is a complete confirmation. How should I respond now? I'm waiting online for a long time."
After seeing Zhou Dongsheng's response, many onlookers seemed to be helped by God. They immediately turned into wild beasts and ran around wildly in the melon field, adding fuel to the heat of the incident.
For a time, Zhou Dongsheng seemed to occupy half of the hot search list. From this, it is not difficult to see how solid the mass base of Zhou Dongsheng, who is now in the limelight, is.
It is said that talented people emerge in every generation, and each of them leads the trend for hundreds of years. The public opinion field naturally follows the corresponding logic, but the time limit is undoubtedly greatly shortened.
Especially in this accelerated era of traffic, the popularity of many influential figures in the public opinion field can only last for a few years, and then they basically withdraw from the mainstream vision and hide behind the scenes.
There is no doubt that this stage is undoubtedly the highlight of Dongsheng's appearance on the public opinion stage last week.
He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. With the blessing of the BUFF of the people's will, some things will go smoothly and naturally. But if you go against it...
Whatever the outcome, the answer has undoubtedly been given by a group of people who have disappeared from the public opinion stage one after another.
Perhaps they did not expect Zhou Dongsheng to be so tough. After hitting a wall, those voices in the public opinion field that were making groundless accusations and fanning the flames fell silent as if they were well-trained.
Even the parties involved chose to stay out of the spotlight and dared not respond again. However, when public opinion developed to this extent, it was obviously out of human control.
Various influences related to it continued to ferment. As the bad guys in the melon field ran around everywhere, all the previous clues of the parties involved were dug out one after another, especially the black materials of the rapper. Once put in the public eye, they obviously could not stand up to scrutiny.
As more and more negative information was uncovered, public opinion was in an uproar and the person involved was nailed to the cross of public opinion to be judged and accused.
When they choose to use the double-edged sword of public opinion to try to exonerate themselves, they naturally have to be prepared to pay the price of backlash from public opinion. However, it is obvious that in their panic, they did not think things through.
As I said, no one is perfect. As long as you are a human being, you will always have your own limitations, no matter what position or height you are in.
For this reason, a team is needed to make up for the shortcomings, and only by working together can it be possible to break the limitation of "human resources are sometimes limited".
Those who have countless resources but are not worthy of their position and cannot use the resources reasonably will naturally pay the price for it.
Although it was just a small episode, Zhou Dongsheng just treated it as a fun thing, but he still felt that he gained something. After all, people are the product of experiences, and aren’t people shaped by all kinds of experiences?
Isn't my only advantage that I have an experience that others have never had?
Although, this experience is also the "future" that everyone will experience!
Thinking of this, Zhou Dongsheng's thoughts became clearer and clearer, and he further clarified his ideas. Now that he had enough fun, it was time to do some serious work.
The New Year's Eve has passed and the end of the year is approaching. While this most important festival for Chinese people has not yet arrived, it is natural for us to send some warmth to our fellow countrymen.
It just so happens that whether it is the plan finalized at the Golden Second Award, or the long-term poverty alleviation and agricultural assistance plan jointly launched by Dongsheng Group, Pinxixi and Douyin, or the Dongsheng Charity Fund that has been in operation...
It is undoubtedly time to test the results, especially since Zhou Dongsheng had previously boasted in the media that he would donate all the box office revenue from Wolf Warrior 2 and would also disclose it to the public one by one...
Although Zhou Dongsheng had his own selfish motives in mind, he wanted to use these things to create a golden body!
However, a gentleman's actions are not important, and no one is perfect in the world. It is not important what a person thinks, the most important thing is to see what he does.
For this reason, Zhou Dongsheng naturally has a clear conscience. He cannot take shortcuts in such matters. If he plays tricks, the risk of ruining his reputation... is something Zhou Dongsheng cannot bear.
In addition, Zhou Dongsheng’s positioning of the live streaming e-commerce trend is to first focus on public welfare and helping farmers, lie dormant for a while to lay the foundation, and wait for the arrival of the industry’s east wind.
By then, once the energy accumulated in public welfare explodes, it will undoubtedly be able to take advantage of the industry's trend!
Whether it is Li Jiaqi, the hard-working man who is the first to take the brunt of the effort, or other talented people who are following up simultaneously, they all have the potential to stand out.
However... no matter how much you say, it is better to do it yourself, which will undoubtedly maximize the effect.
Especially after this little episode, Zhou Dongsheng suddenly realized that while he was having fun, he seemed to have become one of the protagonists driven by the tide of the times without realizing it?
Unlike other people who knew nothing about it before being favored, Zhou Dongsheng, with foresight, had gradually caught a glimpse of the clues.
Perhaps, in this situation, there is a simpler and more efficient way to create a golden body for yourself!
After all, I'm not arrogant. Before this, I had promoted snail noodles and successfully proved my influence!
If we can use this influence on this bright future, perhaps we can really make miracles happen!
After all, when live streaming sales swept across the country and became a major channel to promote poverty alleviation and help farmers, even the top leaders who went incognito to visit the market had personally promoted the products to the public and brought a lot of goods.
And if you can really use your abilities to help some people...it will undoubtedly be a merit that is more meaningful than practical.
In terms of public and private matters, it is a matter of great benefit to me, and at most I won't see the effect for a while...
I happen to have nothing to do, so I might as well do this before the New Year!
Giving a rose to someone will leave a lingering fragrance on your hands. Let’s also be a kind person!
In an instant, it seemed as if there was a book of "Pattern" shining brightly in Zhou Dongsheng's hand.
