The vicious female supporting role is posted in the opposite direction by the cub

Wang Daman took a big gulp of wine. The alcohol hit him hard, and his friend's encouragement made him feel more and more like he'd been tricked: "Damn it! I knew it! Who is Yan Yueqing? A top-tier big capital firm! Why would she come and take over our lousy factory for no reason? And right before the bankruptcy liquidation? What a coincidence! She must have known about this plan all along!"
She timed it perfectly, pretending to be a savior, spending a little money to keep us calm, then seizing control of the company… just waiting for today! Waiting to collect this exorbitant demolition compensation! We're nothing but pawns on her chessboard! Used and discarded! What kind of arrangement is this? I think it's just a pittance to appease beggars!

“Absolutely!” Sun Tao echoed firmly on the other end of the phone. “Old Wang, you’re absolutely right! This woman is too cunning! On the surface, she does charity work to win people over, but behind the scenes, she’s calculating everything! She eats the meat, but she won’t even share a drop of soup with you who actually do the work! You’ve worked your butts off for her for a month, and what did you get? She reaps the benefits, while you get nothing and are even worried about your jobs! Can you swallow this insult?”

Wang Daman, fueled by alcohol and his friends' encouragement, was completely enraged: "Shut up! She's a hypocrite! She acts like a saint, but she's been scheming against us from the very beginning!"

“Brother, it’s no use just the two of us knowing!” Sun Tao lowered his voice, tempting him, “We need to let everyone see her true colors! I’ll post it online for you! Let netizens judge! Let them see how your ‘philanthropic’ boss exploits her poor employees! With so much public pressure, she’ll have to give you employees who didn’t get your houses demolished an explanation for the sake of her reputation! Maybe she’ll even have to give back some of the compensation money to everyone!”

"Post it online?" Wang Daman, half sober, hesitated.

"Yes! Post it online!" Sun Tao continued to urge. "Old Wang, this is the only chance to help yourself and your fellow workers who didn't get any benefits get justice! Are you really willing to be made a fool of like monkeys, to have your value squeezed dry and then be kicked aside? Think about your wife and children! Think about your mortgage!"

Sun Tao's words slithered into Wang Daman's ears like a venomous snake, striking at his deepest resentment and fear.

The thought of losing her job, the possibility of her colleague Li Guozhu becoming rich overnight, and Yan Yueqing's careless promises... anger completely overwhelmed her reason!

"You're right!" Wang Daman's eyes were red, and his teeth were clenched. "I can't be her slave for nothing! Fine! I'll tell you everything I know. You can post it online and let everyone judge!"

A few hours later, a newly registered account named "Exposing the Hypocritical Mask of Capital" simultaneously released a carefully edited audio recording on several high-traffic social media and short video platforms, accompanied by highly inflammatory text:

[Shocking revelation! Top-tier charity queen's image collapses! She amassed a fortune through a scheme to steal a huge compensation package, leaving lower-level employees as collateral damage!]

The recording was edited, and Wang Daman's voice was unrecognizable, but his grief and indignation were quite moving.

"That Yan Yueqing! She planned this from the very beginning! I'd bet my life—she knew all along that the country was going to do a huge project here! What 'new energy'? Could she have known about this before we did?!"

"Why did she choose to take over the company just when it was about to go bankrupt and be liquidated? What kind of saintly figure is she pretending to be?! It's all an act! A 'charity' show put on for us and for outsiders! She spends a little money to cover our salaries and give us a raise, and that's how she keeps hundreds of us here, making us work like slaves for her for a whole month!"

"What's she after? She's after this land beneath our feet! This sea! Now that the national plan is in place, with that red border drawn, this land has become a goldmine! A huge amount of compensation is about to fall into Yan Yueqing's pocket! And what about us?"

"Those of us without houses within the red-framed area are just cannon fodder! We work for free for a month! We clean up the place and make it look presentable, we stabilize the mess and get things back on track, and then we just wait for the government to come and take it over! Those who get relocated are incredibly lucky, they get money. What about the rest of us? The company doesn't even have this sea anymore, what fish are we supposed to raise?!"

"What did she say on the phone? 'There are arrangements'? 'We won't abandon her'? Listen to that! How easy she makes it sound! The manager even told us to 'trust her'? What makes us trust her?! The compensation goes to the company, to her, Yan Yueqing! What does it have to do with us poor laborers?! Will she give us a single penny?! I bet she'll just give us some N+1 at most, like throwing money at beggars! This is the true face of that 'benevolent Yan'! A hypocrite! She's been scheming against our hard-earned money from beginning to end!"

The publisher embellished the text:
Listen to this! This is the truth! The so-called "Charity Queen" Yan Yueqing knew about the national new energy plan long ago and precisely bought up the nearly bankrupt Haixing Company at rock-bottom prices, controlling its core assets at a negligible cost! A month of "painstaking management" was nothing but a charade to keep the employees in line! Now that the plan has been implemented, the exorbitant compensation has all gone into her pocket! And what about the employees she "saved"? Those who benefited from the demolition became rich overnight, while those who didn't face unemployment! A casual "there are arrangements" is all it takes to dismiss these hard-working workers who created value for her? "Believe"? How pale and laughable! What is this if not hypocrisy? What is this if not blatant exploitation by capital?! Please give justice to the working class! Resist the hypocritical capitalists!

This carefully edited recording, accompanied by inflammatory interpretations, exploded instantly, like cold water being poured into a boiling oil pan!
Breaking News! Yan Yueqing Exposed for Hypocritical Behavior and Exploiting Employees! # (Breaking News)

Yan Yueqing's recording with Haixing Company # (Hot)

Charity Queen's Image Collapses # (Trending)

The trending topic instantly topped the list, followed by the eye-catching word "explosive".

The official news comment section, Li Yuanyuan's grateful Weibo post from a month ago, Yan Yueqing's personal super topic... everything related to her was instantly flooded with a torrent of negative comments:
[I'm disgusted! Seriously disgusted! I thought she was different from other capitalists, but it turns out her schemes are even more elaborate! She precisely bought at the bottom, pretended for a month, all to pocket the exorbitant compensation! She's too calculating!]

[The person in the recording is right! They're just cannon fodder! They've been squeezed dry of their last bit of value! Yan Yueqing, doesn't your conscience hurt?!]

[An arrangement? Hilarious! More like they're just giving him some N+1 (a small sum of money) to appease a beggar. Compared to that huge sum, it's nothing!]

[This makes me furious! Lower-level employees are just too kind and easily fooled!]

[I knew there was something wrong with her taking over that lousy company! She was just after the demolition compensation! What a hypocrite! Disgusting! Unfollowed!]

Boycott all businesses under Yan Yueqing's name! Boycott this hypocritical capitalist! Artists and fans of Xingyue Entertainment, stop pretending! Your idols and boss are this kind of scum!

[@HaiduOfficial @LaborInspection This matter must be investigated! Investigate whether there were any irregularities in the process of her taking over! Investigate how she plans to 'arrange' those unemployed workers!]

Of course, many fans and rational netizens are also vehemently refuting these claims:

[Can a clearly edited recording really lead to a conviction? Was all of Yan Yueqing's past charity work fake? How many children and families did she save?!]

[The new energy plan was only announced today! Yan took over Haixing a month ago! How could she 'know beforehand'? Was she precocious? Have the trolls' logic been thrown to the dogs?]

The recording clearly shows signs of instigation and manipulation! That employee who led the disturbance is definitely problematic! They were used as a pawn!

I believe in Yue Zong! She has never disappointed! I'm waiting for a reversal that will slap the haters in the face!

However, amidst the surging wave of accusations of "hypocrisy" and "exploitation," these defenses seem like a drop in the ocean.

Once anger is ignited, the truth is often forgotten.

The labels of "rich but heartless" and "exploiting the lower class" were harshly attached to Yan Yueqing.

At the eye of the storm, undercurrents were swirling within the Starfish Company.

The company employees couldn't possibly miss the overwhelming barrage of criticism online.

The people's hearts, which had just been somewhat calmed by Yan Yueqing's phone call, began to waver violently once again.

The employees who were not relocated had mixed feelings. Some resented who had taken the matter online, while others vaguely felt that he had said what they dared not say themselves.

The employees of the demolished households remained even more silent, fearing they would get burned. However, the joy of their impending sudden wealth was overshadowed by the oppressive atmosphere around them and the online criticism.

When Wang Daman saw the screen filled with "boycott," "hypocrisy," and "exploitation," and saw his censored voice become a clarion call for condemnation, he first felt a morbid sense of pleasure, but was then gripped by immense fear.

The situation escalated to a level far beyond his expectations.

If Yan Yueqing can know national policies in advance, it shouldn't be difficult to find out who it is and drown him in the sea, right?
He belatedly realized that he was covered in a cold sweat.

Lei Ran locked himself in his office, staring at the obscene comments on his computer screen with a livid face, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

Which bastard is stirring up trouble?!
Would President Yan see these comments and, in a fit of anger, abandon his employees? Just then, his phone vibrated again, and on the screen was still that name—"President Yan".

Lei Ran took a deep breath, mustered all his strength to steady his voice, and answered the phone: "President Yan..."

On the other end of the phone, Yan Yueqing's voice showed no trace of the anger or anxiety she had felt from being condemned by the entire internet; in fact, it was even calmer than yesterday, a calmness that was chilling.

"Manager Lei, did you see what was online?"

"Yes...Mr. Yan, I..."

"Ignore it. I sent you an email; take a look." Yan Yueqing interrupted him, her tone completely unchanged. "Also, notify everyone that there will be a general meeting tomorrow morning at nine o'clock."

Lei Ran immediately agreed.

After hanging up the phone, he eagerly opened his email.

After seeing what was inside, he stared in shock.

The next day.

The simple canteen of Haixing Company was temporarily converted into a meeting venue.

The air was so heavy it seemed you could wring water out of it. The hundred or so employees, some sitting and some standing, had a mix of tension, bewilderment, and anticipation on every face.

Wang Daman hid in the back of the crowd, his palms sweating profusely.

Since the incident he exposed online escalated, the atmosphere in the company has become extremely oppressive. The overwhelming criticism on the internet seems to have materialized, weighing heavily on everyone's shoulders.

He knew he had made a huge mistake, but deep down he had a strange, twisted desire to see Yan Yueqing in a sorry state.

Yan Yueqing stepped onto the makeshift stage, and without a word, her gaze swept across the room like an icy blade: "Everyone's here? Good."

Her voice wasn't loud, but it had a strange penetrating power that instantly suppressed all the subtle disturbances.

The large screen behind me lit up, displaying a huge map of the sea city.

"I know that after yesterday's news, everyone is very concerned about the company's future and worried about whether they can continue their jobs. Today, I'll keep it brief—"

A slender red laser pointer precisely landed on the area covered by the red designated zone.

"With the new energy pilot project underway, the original site of Haixing Company has been requisitioned, and this matter is a foregone conclusion."

These words were like a verdict, and a chorus of suppressed gasps and desperate sighs rose from the audience.

“However,” Yan Yueqing’s voice suddenly rose, carrying an undeniable penetrating force, and the red dot of the laser pointer quickly moved to the side, circling a blue sea area and adjacent coastline that was not covered by the red frame and was even larger, “a month ago, when I was renewing the right to use this sea area, after communicating with the people of the Ocean Administration Bureau, I signed here at the same time—Dongxi Bay sea area and mudflats.”

As soon as the words were spoken, the image on the large screen switched to a file—

The leasehold right to use the new sea area, Dongxi Bay.

fifteen years!
Dead!

After absolute silence, the crowd erupted in an unbelievable uproar!

"Dongxi Bay?"

"It wasn't included! It's right next door!"

"Such a large area?!"

The person in charge of sea area management suddenly realized!

"Damn! I remember now! Boss Yan hinted at this to us a month ago! She told us to take a look at the situation in the neighboring sea while we were surveying the existing sea area's water quality and topography. Do you guys remember?"

"No wonder! That explains why President Yan wanted to visit Linhai back then."

"I thought President Yan was worried that the wastewater discharge from the factory on the neighboring coast would affect us here?"

"My God?! I did suspect that President Yan was planning to buy land in Linhai as well. But the thousands of acres of aquaculture farms are already a huge money drain. Buying another one would require an enormous investment!"

No one expected Yan Yueqing to have such courage!

She sent Jun Jiu to handle the signing of the new sea area agreement.

When he walked through the gates of the Ocean Administration Bureau with Yan Yueqing's authorization documents, the receptionist didn't pay much attention at first. It wasn't until they saw Yan Yueqing's name on the documents and the clear indication of the intention to lease another vast area of ​​sea in the adjacent region that they suddenly sat up straight.

They clearly remembered that not long ago, Party Secretary Shi personally inquired about Haixing's renewal, and that pressure still seemed to be hanging over their heads.

Now, this General Manager Yan has not only stabilized Haixing, but also wants to expand investment? The leased area even exceeds the original Haixing company's area? This news quickly spread within the bureau, causing a chorus of murmurs of surprise.

There were instructions from above that this Miss Yan was unfathomable, and that everyone was required to cooperate fully in matters concerning her.

The head of the management bureau did not dare to neglect the matter and personally followed up, ensuring that all procedures proceeded smoothly.

The departments that needed coordination and the complicated procedures all turned into efficiency in the face of Jun Jiu's always cynical smile and Yan Yueqing's invisible golden reputation.

The renewal and new sea area lease contracts were signed and filed at an almost abnormal speed.

However, Yan Yueqing did not make a fuss. (End of this chapter)
