"Quick! Contact customer service! Find out what happened!"

Yun Jia's voice was trembling with sobs and hysteria as she yelled at her assistant.

The assistant was also stunned by this sudden turn of events and frantically dialed Douyin's official customer service number.

When the call connected, the assistant explained the situation incoherently, providing Yun Jia's large ID number and ID card information.

The customer service representative on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, seemingly making an inquiry.

A few seconds later, a formulaic voice, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, came through.

"Hello Madam, upon investigation, all accounts under your name have been found to be involved in and instigated a serious cyberbullying incident, causing extremely negative impacts on the parties involved and severely violating the platform's 'User Service Agreement' and 'Community Self-Discipline Convention'. The platform has taken permanent measures to ban you, namely, a ban linked to your ID card. This decision is final and will not be lifted. Thank you for your understanding and support."

Cyberbullying?!
Yun Jia was struck dumb!
Her mind went completely blank!
"Cyberbullying? Just... just because of cyberbullying a poor loser?! Qin Luo who can't even afford shoes?! Douyin... how could Douyin possibly... ban a super influencer with millions of followers like me for him?! This is impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

She screamed, completely unable to accept this explanation!

She had obtained some fragmented information about Qin Luo through her fans' online investigation.

He was suspected to be a medical student, dressed shabbily, and acted in a low-key manner... Wei Junwu also confidently told her that he was just a poor guy who had gotten lucky and had no background!
But now...

Douyin, this behemoth with hundreds of millions of daily active users, actually banned her, a top influencer on the platform, without hesitation, for the sake of such a "poor loser"?!
This makes absolutely no sense! Unless... unless that Qin Luo isn't some poor loser at all!
Is the power behind him so great that Douyin (TikTok) is willing to sacrifice a top influencer to protect him?!
A terrifying, subversive idea, like a cold lightning bolt, cleaved through Yun Jia's chaotic thoughts.

"Qin Luo... Qin Luo... who... who exactly are you?!"

"ID card linked to account blocked...permanent...not to be unblocked..."

The customer service representative's cold, formulaic voice tolled mercilessly in Yun Jia's ears like a final death knell!
Her hand holding the phone fell limply to her side, and she slumped into the expensive leather seat as if her bones had been removed. Her face was ashen, and her eyes were empty and unfocused.

It’s over… It’s all over…

Her empire of millions of fans... her glamorous online celebrity career that she relied on for survival... was completely wiped out in just a few minutes!
A wave of panic and disbelief instantly gripped her! Cyberbullying? Just because Qin Luo was cyberbullied? A poor loser whom Wei Junwu called "a lucky bastard"? How could Douyin possibly pay the price of banning a top influencer for him?! This is completely illogical!
"Qin Luo... Qin Luo... who exactly are you?!"

This thought gnawed at her heart like a venomous snake.

She instinctively picked up her phone, her fingers trembling as she tried to call Wei Junwu to question Qin Luo's identity. Wei Junwu must know the inside story!
However, before she could press the dial button, the shrill ringtone of her phone rang first, and the name "General Manager Wang of XX Brand" appeared on the screen.

This is a clothing brand that she has been working with for many years.

Yun Jia took a deep breath, barely suppressing the turmoil in her heart, and tried her best to make her voice sound normal.

"Hello, Mr. Wang, how are you?"

"Miss Yun Jia!"

Instead of the usual polite greetings, the voice on the other end of the phone was unusually cold and even distant.

"We regret to inform you that, following an emergency meeting of our senior management, we have decided to terminate all endorsement and live-streaming sales cooperation with you, effective immediately. For any previously signed contracts, we will compensate you according to the breach of contract clauses. Our legal team will contact you regarding further matters. Goodbye."

"Wha...what?!"

Yun Jia's face drained of color instantly, and her mind went blank.

"Mr. Wang! Mr. Wang! Hello? Hello?!"

The call was abruptly ended, leaving only a busy tone.

Terminating the cooperation?!
Yun Jia was completely stunned! This CEO Wang was usually so polite to her, even a little obsequious! How could he suddenly…

Before she could recover from this sudden blow, her phone seemed to become a death knell, with one call after another coming in frantically!
"Ms. Yun Jia, we regret to inform you that we have decided to terminate our live-streaming e-commerce agreement with you..."

"Ms. Yun, your contract for our company's cosmetics line is terminated effective immediately..."

"Yun Jia, I'm sorry, our collaboration ends here..."

"Termination of cooperation..."

"termination…"

One! Two! Ten! Twenty! ...In less than ten minutes!
The heads of more than sixty manufacturers she had partnered with for product promotion and endorsements, whose information was stored on her phone, all called her without exception, as if they had made a pact! The content of their calls was strikingly similar.

Termination of cooperation!

The phone finally stopped ringing, but Yun Jia was drenched in cold sweat as if she had just been pulled out of the water. She slumped in her chair, too weak to even move a finger.

An overwhelming fear, like an icy tide, completely engulfed her!
This is no coincidence! How could more than sixty manufacturers terminate their partnerships so simultaneously and in such a unified manner?! There must be an invisible hand manipulating things behind the scenes! Strangling her!
Who is it?! Who on earth has such power?!

"Jia... Sister Jiajia!"

The assistant, pale-faced and clutching a freshly printed document, stumbled into the room, her voice trembling with sobs and extreme terror.

"Douyin... Douyin's legal department! They just... just sent a lawyer's letter! It was... it was delivered in both electronic and paper versions!"

Yun Jia mechanically took the thin document, her gaze sweeping over the cold words on it.

"...Regarding Ms. Yun Jia's malicious fabrication of facts and incitement of fans to insult, defame, and dox Mr. Qin Luo on online live streaming platforms, causing extremely negative social impact and seriously infringing upon Mr. Qin Luo's right to reputation...Our company, fully authorized by Mr. Qin Luo, hereby formally issues this lawyer's letter to you...We will file a private criminal prosecution with the People's Court to pursue your criminal liability for 'defamation'...and reserve the right to pursue your civil liability for damages..."

"Defamation...criminal liability..." Yun Jia's pupils suddenly contracted to pinpoints! She stared intently at those words, as if she were seeing the entrance to hell! As a veteran of the entertainment industry for many years, she knew all too well what this meant! The penalty for defamation itself might not be severe, but once convicted, she would be permanently branded as a "tainted artist" and a "lawbreaker"! Official media would name her, industry associations would blacklist her, all cooperation channels would be severed... Her path in the entertainment industry, and even in society at large, would be completely blocked! There would be no chance of a comeback!

Douyin… or rather, Qin Luo… this isn't about punishing her, it's about completely cutting off all her paths to survival! Leaving no room for maneuver! An utter and complete annihilation!
"Why?! Why is Douyin treating me like this?! That Qin Luo... what right does he have?!"

Yun Jia let out a desperate roar, her immense fear and anger almost driving her mad.

She grabbed her phone again and frantically dialed Wei Junwu's number!
"Sorry, the number you dialed is currently switched off. Please try again later..."

"Sorry, the number you dialed is currently switched off..."

"I'm sorry..." The cold female voice kept ringing out, like a heavy hammer, slamming into Yun Jia's heart! It's switched off?! Why would Young Master Wu switch off his phone at this time?!

A strong sense of unease instantly gripped her!

"Get the car ready! We're heading to Tiancheng Entertainment immediately!"

Yun Jia suddenly stood up and ordered her assistant in a shrill voice that she had to find Wei Junwu in person and get to the bottom of things!
The car sped along and stopped in front of the Tiancheng Entertainment Group building, which was once magnificent and symbolized the power of the entertainment industry in Fujian.

However, the scene before her eyes made Yun Jia feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave!

The once bustling and glamorous hall is now a mess and deserted.

Expensive potted plants were leaning haphazardly, and the ground was covered in dust and scattered documents.

Several huge floor-to-ceiling glass curtain walls even developed cracks.

Even more jarring was the sight of several workers dismantling the massive, neon-lit "Tiancheng Entertainment" sign on the building's exterior wall! The metal frame creaked and scraped as the huge letters were removed piece by piece, like the ruins of this former empire!

Yun Jia staggered off the car, grabbed a foreman who was directing the dismantling, and her voice trembled.

"What...what's going on?! What happened to Tiancheng Entertainment?!"

The foreman looked at her with a puzzled expression and said casually.

"Tiancheng Entertainment? Oh, it went bankrupt! I heard the boss died, the company is drowning in debt, and the court approved its bankruptcy application! This building is about to be seized and auctioned off! We're here to tear down the signboard!"

boom.!

It was like being struck by lightning!

"Bankrupt...bankrupt?!"

Yun Jia's vision went black, and she almost fainted on the spot!
Her last illusion, her last escape route, the "powerful family" she thought she could cling to... had completely collapsed without her even knowing?! Wei Junwu... he used her! He used her future to take revenge on his enemies, and then hid away!
She became a discarded pawn!
Immense anger, the shame of being deceived, and utter despair overwhelmed her in an instant!
It's over...it's all over...

Her influencer career ended, business collaborations were severed, she was embroiled in lawsuits, and her powerful backer collapsed... Yun Jia fell from the clouds to the mud, shattered to pieces!
Do not!
She can't just let it end like this!

Driven by a strong will to survive, she grasped at a sliver of hope in her despair—Xia Minmin! The newly appointed vice president of Douyin headquarters! They had collaborated quite a bit before when they were at the Mindu branch, and their relationship was fairly good!
As if grasping at the last straw, Yun Jia dialed Xia Minmin's private number with trembling hands.

The phone rang a few times and was connected.

"Hello? Sister Minmin! It's me, Yun Jia!"

Yun Jia's voice was choked with sobs and filled with an unprecedented sense of humility.

"Sister Minmin! Help! My account has been banned! All my collaborations have ended! I even received a lawyer's letter from Douyin's legal department! Sister Minmin, please help me! For the sake of our past relationship..."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before Xia Minmin's calm, even slightly indifferent, voice came through.

"Yun Jia, it's no use you coming to me."

"Sister Minmin! Why?! What did I do wrong? Why is Douyin treating me like this?!"

Yun Jia broke down and cried out.

"why?"

Xia Minmin's voice suddenly turned cold, carrying an unquestionable authority.

"Because the order to blacklist you was given by me personally!"

"Wha...what?!"

Yun Jia was completely stunned, her mind went blank.

"It's...it's you? Why? Sister Minmin! We..."

"why?"

Xia Minmin interrupted her, each word like an icicle piercing Yun Jia's heart.

"Because of the person you're cyberbullying, Qin Luo, Qin Luo is the new boss of our Douyin platform!"

New...new boss?!
The boss of TikTok?!

Yun Jia was struck as if by a bolt of lightning, frozen in place, her phone falling to the ground with a "thud," the screen shattering!
Her mouth was open, but no sound came out; only endless fear and a sense of absurdity spread wildly within her!
The person wearing floral shorts, barefoot... whom she treated like a poor loser, subjected to online bullying, and tried to trample on... was actually... the new boss of Douyin?!
He actually... he actually cyberbullied his own platform owner?! And he even wanted to use the platform's influence to ruin him?!
This is absolutely the most ironic, stupid, and suicidal joke in the world!
The overwhelming fear instantly crushed Yun Jia's last shred of hope!
She knew she had truly kicked a titanium alloy plate this time! No, she had crashed into Mount Everest!

Disoriented, she picked up her shattered phone and, with trembling fingers, opened another short video platform, Kuaishou.

This is where she started out. Although she has long since shifted her focus to Douyin, she still has some basic fans here.

She didn't care about her appearance or have time to put on makeup. Right there in the car, she used the front-facing camera of her phone to record a rambling, tearful apology video.

"I'm sorry! Mr. Qin Luo! Mr. Qin Luo! I was wrong! I was really wrong! I was blind! I twisted the truth! I maliciously incited my fans to cyberbully you! I kowtow to you and admit my mistake! Please, please be magnanimous and forgive me this time! Please, please have mercy and spare my life! Waaah..." She kowtowed several times in front of the camera, her forehead turning red, crying her heart out.

After the video was released, she immediately asked her assistant to inquire about Qin Luo's whereabouts. Soon, the news came.

Qin Luo is still at the First Affiliated Hospital of Mindu Medical University!

Looking at her tear-streaked face in the mirror, Yun Jia's eyes flashed with a resolute glint. An apology alone was clearly not enough.

That man could ruin her with just one sentence, how could he possibly forgive her so easily?
She gritted her teeth, a hint of reckless madness flashing in her eyes.

She took out her makeup bag and quickly touched up her makeup to cover up the tear stains and her disheveled appearance. (End of Chapter)
