Volume 5: Twenty Undoubted Chapter 308 Liang Shuang's character collapsed
Five o'clock in the afternoon, in the office of the investment department of Pulin Capital.
"Recently, a modern version of the farmer and the snake was staged on a Shenzhen bus. A live-streaming internet celebrity blogger accidentally recorded a video of a female college student being molested by a middle-aged man on the bus. The female blogger acted decisively and bravely, lending a helping hand, but was unexpectedly pushed to the ground by the female college student. Many netizens praised the internet celebrity for her bravery and courage, while also condemning the female college student who bit back, saying that even if you don't have the courage to fight the bad guys, you should at least say thank you to the person who kindly helped you, instead of walking away and pushing the person who kindly helped you to the ground!"
Seeing the almost one-sided public opinion on Weibo, Jiang Xiaoguo was almost pissed off. She had thought that everyone would condemn the pervert who molested Luo Yan, but she had never expected that the final target of condemnation would be Luo Yan, who was molested. Seeing the messy comments and messages under the hot search on Weibo, Jiang Xiaoguo could not help but speak out in rebuttal:
"This girl is obviously the victim, why are you scolding her? The pervert is the culprit, please don't make the wrong choice and stop talking nonsense, okay?"
Someone quickly responded:
"Brothers and sisters, this woman's Weibo is Shitou will bring you great luck!"
"I think, instead of condemning the pervert, we should condemn this woman. She is so disgusting!"
"That's right, that man is a pervert, and that woman is not a good person either, she's just average looking, and there's a pervert molesting her?"
"Who knows? The live streamer is still pretty. The most important thing is that she is beautiful and kind-hearted. She is my type!"
"That's my girlfriend upstairs!"
"I'm sorry, my dog got out without a leash. Can you please find him? He likes to call other people girlfriends!"
…
Looking at the mess of comments, Jiang Xiaoguo realized that it was useless to speak up by herself, and she would soon be completely drowned out by the numerous comments. She was just about to go to Duan Jiabao and Liang Shuang after get off work to discuss how to properly resolve the matter, when Yang Xiaorong came over and said:
"Xiao Guo, have you finished the business plans I asked you to prepare?"
“Just a little bit more!”
" A little bit more?"
Yang Xiaorong glanced at Jiang Xiaoguo who was about to leave work and said:
"Then you should hurry up today and make up for that before leaving, okay?"
“Okay, okay!”
"I saw what you did yesterday, it was very good, keep up the good work!"
"Well, thank you Sister Xiaorong!"
"You're welcome. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. Thank you for your hard work!"
"It's not hard, bye Sister Xiaorong!"
"Bye-Bye!"
After watching Yang Xiaorong leave the company after work, Jiang Xiaoguo looked around and found that she was the only one working overtime in the office again. Yang Xiaorong only glanced at the business plan that she had worked so hard to prepare yesterday. Just as Jiang Xiaoguo had guessed, no one took the business plans in these emails seriously. The work she was doing now was no different from looking for gold in a garbage dump. It was a pure waste of time and energy.
“Alas~~”
With a sigh, Jiang Xiaoguo sat back in her seat. She put down her handbag, turned on her computer to sort out the remaining business plan, and contacted Duan Jiabao on WeChat:
"Dabao, Dabao, Shitou has been exposed, and her Weibo account has been leaked. Please contact her immediately. I'm worried that something has happened to her!"
"Okay, okay, Shitou should be studying in the postgraduate entrance examination room. I'll go find her now!"
"That's great. I'll go to Youjia Financial Management to find Liang Shuang. Let's split up!"
"good!"
After the call, Jiang Xiaoguo quickly sorted out the remaining business plans, emailed the summarized documents to Yang Xiaorong, and then hurried to Youjia Financial Management. On the way, he contacted Liang Shuang via WeChat and asked her to delete the video on Weibo. Then they discussed together how to clarify the matter, so as to clear Luo Yan's name and let everyone know that Luo Yan was not a bad girl as everyone said. The farmer and the snake did not know how to be grateful.
…
At 5:30 pm, in the office of Youjia Financial Customer Service Department, Liang Shuang frowned slightly, put down her phone, and then looked at her computer screen again. She didn't expect that Luo Yan's molestation incident would become a hot search on Weibo. Her Weibo gained countless followers in just a few days, and many well-known bloggers and businesses contacted her privately to ask if she wanted to cooperate or endorse a brand :
"Hello, Ms. Liang. We would like to invite you to become our Taobao show expert. Are you interested?"
"Hello, can I talk to you about some advertising cooperation?"
"Hello, Ms. Liang. Are you interested in being our spokesperson?"
"Hello, my lady. Our company would like to invite you to cooperate in shooting a promotional film. If you are interested, please contact us!"
…
Looking at the hundreds of messages seeking cooperation on Weibo, Liang Shuang couldn't help but look delighted, with an obvious smile on the corner of her mouth. The surprise came too suddenly. The video she casually posted at the beginning was actually on the hot search on Weibo, and so many people commented and forwarded it. She was now completely famous. With topics and traffic, she could develop herself as a beauty blogger, and then cooperate with businesses, whether it was live streaming, being an image spokesperson, or shooting commercials. She could be famous and make money, which was many times better than her current job that only paid a salary!
Just as Liang Shuang was browsing the Weibo messages one by one and selecting the merchants she was interested in to contact them and look at the specific cooperation projects, someone called her at the office door:
"Liang Shuang, someone is looking for you!"
“Oh, here it comes!”
Walking out of the company, Liang Shuang saw Jiang Xiaoguo waiting for him at the company gate. He frowned slightly and said:
"Jiang Xiaoguo, is there anything you can't talk about back in the dormitory?"
Seeing Liang Shuang finally come out of the company, Jiang Xiaoguo hurriedly asked:
"Liang Shuang, have you deleted your Weibo?"
"No, why should I delete it?"
"A lot of people are cursing Shitou on Weibo, didn't you see?"
“I saw it, but I won’t delete it!”
"Why?"
"Why?"
Liang Shuang glanced at Jiang Xiaoguo and said as a matter of course:
"There are many people praising me on Weibo, saying that I am cool and beautiful. My previous Weibo posts only had two comments, but now there are almost 2,000. Since I want to be a beauty blogger, I need traffic. Why should I miss such a good opportunity?"
"you……"
I didn't expect Liang Shuang to say that. Jiang Xiaoguo couldn't help but said angrily:
"Then you can't sacrifice your roommate for your own benefit, right? Wouldn't that be too selfish?"
"I am selfish?"
With a sneer, Liang Shuang looked at Jiang Xiaoguo and retorted:
"Who was the one who helped her on the bus? Who was the one who posted the video online so that the pervert could be punished?"
"But……"
"What are you but?"
Before Jiang Xiaoguo could finish her words, Liang Shuang interrupted her and said:
"The video has already spread all over the internet. There's no point in deleting the Weibo post now. Anyway, weren't you and Duan Jiabao very supportive of me at the time?"
"you……"
"I still have things to do, you go back first, bye!"
"Liang Shuang, wait a minute, I haven't finished yet!"
"Let's talk about it when we get back to the dormitory tonight. Bye!"
"you……"
Ignoring Jiang Xiaoguo, Liang Shuang went straight back to her seat and continued browsing Weibo information. When it was almost time to get off work, the project team leader couldn't help but criticize Liang Shuang for slacking off:
"Liang Shuang, it's okay to show off occasionally, but don't let it affect your work. Don't slack off all day long!"
At this time, the president of Youjia Financial passed by and saw the project leader criticizing Liang Shuang. He couldn't help but patted the leader on the shoulder, signaling her not to say more, and then looked at Liang Shuang and smiled:
"Xiao Liang, someone from TikTok was asking me about you just now. Your video has spread very well. I heard it has become a trending topic?"
“Hmm~~”
Compared to the sarcastic team leader, the CEO of Youjia Financial Management was as polite to her as always. Liang Shuang couldn't help but smile shyly and hummed softly. Seeing her so proud, the team leader next to her took the opportunity to look at the CEO and smiled:
"President, if that's the case, why don't we let Xiao Liang change his personal Weibo account to a company account? That way, he can help promote the company!"
"Okay!"
The president felt that what the team leader said made sense, so he looked at Liang Shuang and said with a smile:
"Xiao Liang, you should think more about the company's new media development business in the future, okay?"
“No, is my personal Weibo really that valuable?”
"Don't underestimate yourself!"
After saying that, the president left with a smile. After he left, the team leader's face instantly drooped. If it wasn't for the fact that it was difficult to go against the president's wishes, she would have asked Liang Shuang, who slacked off at work every day, either checking Weibo or putting on makeup and lipstick in front of a small mirror, to pack up and leave. How could she even look at her in a good manner?
At 6:30 in the evening, when her colleagues, including the team leader, were still working overtime, Liang Shuang picked up her Chanel bag and went home to school on time. Seeing her taking the elevator to leave the company, the team leader's face became increasingly gloomy. In the company, except for a few male colleagues who had "unreasonable thoughts" about Liang Shuang, and the female colleague sitting next to her, everyone else couldn't stand her arrogant attitude of doing whatever she wanted. It was just that the team leader showed her impatience on her face, while the others kept it in their hearts.
After leaving the company, Liang Shuang, who was in a rare good mood, decided to take a taxi back to school. He stopped a taxi downstairs of the company and asked the driver to drive to the north gate of South China University of Finance and Economics. Liang Shuang sat in the back seat of the taxi and video-called his grandmother on WeChat:
"Grandma, have you eaten?"
"I've eaten, are you off work?"
“Hmm~~”
"Is work going well lately?"
"It's OK, but I think my current job is quite boring. I want to change jobs!"
"Xiao Shuang, actually, all jobs are the same. How can you get started right from the start? When grandma first entered the factory, she didn't know how to use a sewing machine. It's a process of practice makes perfect. Don't worry, keep doing it, and we'll take it slowly. But if you really want to change jobs, that's not impossible. As long as you're happy, grandma supports you. Do you hear me?"
"I heard you. Thank you, grandma. I'll hang up now. Bye!"
"Bye-Bye!"
After chatting with her grandmother for a while, Liang Shuang suddenly became happy. She secretly decided in her heart that she would resign from the company tomorrow, and then concentrate on being an internet celebrity anchor, shooting commercials, and being an image spokesperson. She, Liang Shuang, wanted to live under the flash of the media. She wanted both money and fame. Since she was a child, she liked to be the center of attention and liked people around her to praise her for being pretty.
At the same time, in Jiang Xiaoguo's dormitory at the South China University of Finance and Economics, Luo Yan was sleeping in bed. Jiang Xiaoguo looked at Duan Jiabao who had been watching over her and whispered:
"Dabao, how is Shitou?"
"I don't know. She's been up there for quite a while. She didn't come down and didn't say a word!"
Hearing Duan Jiabao say this, Jiang Xiaoguo walked under Luo Yan's bed and said with self-blame:
"Shi Tou, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I should have listened to you before. I shouldn't have supported Liang Shuang. I also tagged those big Weibo accounts that spread the video. I just wanted to help you punish that pervert. I didn't think things would turn out like this. Are you feeling really bad? If you're really upset, just scold me, okay? I'll scold you, and I won't refute you!"
Seeing that Jiang Xiaoguo had finished speaking, Luo Yan still remained silent. Duan Jiabao next to her could not help but persuade her:
"Shi Tou, please don't be silent. If you want to cry, you can cry!"
"Stone?"
Seeing that there was no response, Jiang Xiaoguo could not help but uncover Luo Yan's quilt and apologize to her in person, saying in a sad voice:
"Shi Tou, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I was wrong, it's all my fault, Shi Tou!"
"I'm fine!"
Luo Yan sat up from the bed, looked at Jiang Xiaoguo and Duan Jiabao and said with a smile:
"Haven't I said it before? Those keyboard warriors hide behind the screen just to vent their negative energy. They can complain about anything. I've been prepared for this. You don't have to worry about me. Besides, Ajinri has said it before, it's the world that's wrong, not me. I'll never gamble on love or victory. I'm really fine. I'm going to go back to sleep. Good night!"
After that, without waiting for Jiang Xiaoguo and Duan Jiabao to respond, Luo Yan smiled and continued to sleep with the quilt covering her. Seeing that she could still laugh, Duan Jiabao patted Jiang Xiaoguo and said with a smile:
"Okay, don't worry. Shitou has always been carefree. I guess he's really fine!"
"But……"
Jiang Xiaoguo originally wanted to say that Shitou played games every night, but went to bed so early tonight. Obviously, she didn't really care about the online abuse. After thinking about it, she didn't say it out loud. She just looked at Luo Yan's bed and whispered sadly:
"Shi Tou, I'm sorry, it's my fault!"
…
In the corridor outside the dormitory, Liang Shuang was walking towards dormitory 419 while refreshing her Weibo. At this moment, a strange phone call came in. She pressed the green answer button and said:
"Hello, hello!"
"Hello, I'm Xiaoyu, the marketing director of Weixi Skin Care. I have a friend who works at Youjia Financial Management. He gave me your number. After watching your video, he felt that you match our brand tone very well, so he wanted to work with you to promote our new products. I wonder if you are interested?"
"Okay, okay, I'm interested. Let's add each other on WeChat later so we can talk about it in detail?"
"Okay, I'll contact you then!"
"Well, bye!"
"Bye-Bye!"
After hanging up the phone, Liang Shuang continued to walk towards Dormitory 419 with a happy face. When she reached the door of the dormitory, she hesitated for a moment, then she restrained the smile on her face and pushed the door open.
