Is it hard to chase the school beauty?It doesn't matter, she still has roommates

"Mr. Huang, I still don't quite understand... why did you have to so urgently remove all the trending topics related to Xiao Ruoxi? Although the methods are a bit... it's undeniable that this topic was extremely popular!"
A dozen popular celebrities, including top stars, collectively target a relatively unknown actor. This highly controversial and controversial event presents a great opportunity for our platform to attract more users and increase user engagement!

"Just shut it down like that, and the data usage will be significantly reduced..."

Mr. Huang did not answer immediately. He slowly stood up, walked to the window, lit an expensive cigar, took a deep drag, and let the smoke swirl in his lungs before slowly exhaling, as if this could suppress the fear in his heart.

He turned around, looked at the confused director, and his voice carried a sense of exhaustion and lingering fear after experiencing immense pressure.

"Do you think I want this? Traffic? Ha... This morning, I was called to a meeting by Director Zhao of the Internet Supervision Bureau."

The director's mind skipped a beat. "Director Zhao from the Internet Supervision Bureau?"

Those are truly powerful figures who can decide the life and death of these platforms!

"I'm going to continue," Mr. Huang continued.

"When I got there, I found out that I wasn't the only one who had been called in. More than a dozen CEOs or key representatives whose names I could recall were all there! The conference room was completely silent, and Director Zhao sat in the main seat with a very grim expression."

He paused, seemingly recalling that oppressive scene, and lowered his voice even further.

"There was no beating around the bush; the order was given out directly. From now on, in all matters concerning people, especially those involving two individuals—Xiao Ruoxi—it is imperative to issue a direct order."

And that young man named Qin Luo—you must not utter any negative reports, defamatory remarks, or unverified rumors!

The director gasped, his eyes widening instantly! Targeting two unknown young people? Such a big move!

Seeing the director's horrified expression, General Manager Huang sighed heavily, the smoke from his cigar blurring his complex gaze.

"Now, do you understand?"
This is not some entertainment incident of celebrities ganging up on a random passerby!
This is because we, including Chen Tianfeng and his group, have kicked a steel plate that we simply cannot afford to mess with!
Those two are truly formidable figures who have crossed the river! Their backgrounds are unfathomable!

The director was drenched in cold sweat, and the back of his clothes was soaked.

He was initially focused on traffic and popularity, but now he's filled with lingering fear! Fortunately, the platform acted decisively; otherwise... the consequences would have been unimaginable!
He nodded repeatedly, his voice hoarse.

"Understood, Mr. Huang! I'll arrange it immediately and strengthen the relevant review process to ensure that no negative information about those two appears on our platform!"

……

Meanwhile, in the presidential suite of a high-end hotel in Hengdian.

Chen Tianfeng was not awakened until late afternoon, around noon, by a series of urgent doorbell rings.

Last night, in order to orchestrate that online storm, he personally contacted his "friends" in the industry to forward and comment on the posts, and he was busy until after 3 a.m. before finally going to sleep. Now he is deep in sleep.

He yelled impatiently.

"Who is it?! It's so noisy!"

The voice of Wang Li, the assistant, came from outside the door, sounding tearful and anxious.

"Young Master Feng! Something terrible has happened! Wake up!"

Chen Tianfeng scratched his hair in frustration, struggled to get up, and opened the door. Wang Li practically stumbled in, her face pale, holding her phone and rambling incoherently.

"Young Master Feng! The trending topic we posted... is gone! It's all gone! Your Weibo account... can't be logged into either! It shows 'Violation rectification'!"

"what?!"

Chen Tianfeng was instantly wide awake. He snatched Wang Li's phone and, with trembling fingers, opened the Weibo app.

He kept refreshing the trending topics list, and the one he had carefully planned, which should have remained at the top of the list, really disappeared without a trace!
He tried to log in to his Weibo account, and sure enough, it showed that "the account is currently undergoing rectification due to violations of relevant laws and regulations!"
He frantically opened several other major portal websites and social media apps, searching for related keywords—and the results were all the same! All the negative news about Xiao Ruoxi had been completely wiped clean!

"Who did this?!"
Who the hell did this?! Who has the power to take down a trending topic?! Who banned my account?!

Enraged, Chen Tianfeng slammed Wang Li's phone to the ground, shattering the screen instantly!
He paced back and forth in the room like a trapped beast, his face contorted with extreme anger and disbelief.

Just then, the agent, Sister Hua, finished several urgent phone calls and walked in with a serious expression.

"Sister Hua!"
What on earth is going on?!

When Chen Tianfeng saw her, he felt like he had grasped a lifeline and rushed over to grab her arm, asking urgently.

"My account has been banned! And I'm no longer trending on social media! Who's messing with us?!"

Seeing Chen Tianfeng's outburst, Sister Hua sighed helplessly, pulled her hand away from his, rubbed her temples, and said...

"I just asked a friend at the Internet Supervision Bureau... This time, the order came directly from the Internet Supervision Bureau."

"The Cyberspace Administration?!"

Chen Tianfeng's pupils contracted.

"What right do they have?!"

Sister Hua's tone was complicated.

"My friend said that what the higher-ups mean is that you... went too far this time."

A dozen influential celebrities teamed up to bully a newcomer with no connections. The negative public opinion was so bad that the internet regulatory bureau couldn't stand it and issued a warning to clean up the mess.

She deliberately obscured the source of the information and the specific instructions, downplaying this thunderous operation as a "rectification of conduct" and a "warning."

After listening, Chen Tianfeng's tense nerves relaxed a bit, and his anger subsided considerably.

He patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Damn, that scared me to death! I thought it was Xiao Ruoxi or the kid next to her who had some kind of powerful background! Turns out it was just those old men from the Internet Supervision Bureau who couldn't stand us ganging up on the weak, trying to maintain a balance!"

His face once again revealed a look of disdain and ruthlessness.

"Hmph! Warning? Cleaning up the atmosphere? After this storm passes, see how I deal with them! Sister Hua, spread the word that anyone who dares to use Xiao Ruoxi, anyone who dares to cooperate with that kid named Qin Luo, is going against me, Chen Tianfeng! I'm going to completely wipe them out of the industry!"

Looking at Chen Tianfeng's arrogant and ignorant attitude, Sister Hua opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing, only a deep worry flashed in her eyes. Could things... really be that simple?

……

In Hengdian, the turmoil seems to have subsided for the time being.

Qin Luo has a habit of always trying the local delicacies whenever she visits a new place. After a busy morning of singing practice at the "Fan Yu" studio, it was almost noon.

Xiao Ruoxi led him to a well-known restaurant in the central area of ​​Hengdian World Studios – "Jinyangxuan". The restaurant was elegantly decorated and served exquisite and authentic Jiangzhe cuisine.

After finding a quiet booth, Qin Luo picked up the menu and skillfully ordered several signature dishes.

West Lake Vinegar Fish, Longjing Shrimp, Dongpo Pork.

Xiao Ruoxi was overjoyed to hear the amazing news that the trending topic had been removed and her account had been banned. Her mood was brighter and more relaxed than ever before, and her smile became even more radiant.

She took the menu and enthusiastically added four more dishes.

Song Sao's fish soup, deep-fried crispy rolls, lotus leaf steamed pork, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, plus the soup Qin Luo ordered, made a total of five dishes and one soup, quite a sumptuous meal.

After ordering, she deliberately winked at Qin Luo and smiled playfully.

"I'm in a good mood today, so I'm going to channel my anger into food! I've ordered so much, I'll eat you out of house and home!"

Looking at her radiant and lively appearance, so different from the desperate and helpless girl she was that morning, Qin Luo couldn't help but smile slightly.

He felt that Xiao Ruoxi, who was so relaxed, cheerful, and joking, was indeed very comfortable to be around.

A slightly noisy sound of footsteps and laughter came from the second-floor stairwell.

Four people came down from the private room upstairs, one after the other.

The leader was a young man in his early thirties, wearing a flashy shirt and with slicked-back hair. He had a smug and frivolous look on his face, a hint of drunken pride.

His gaze swept across the lobby on the first floor and landed precisely on the table where Qin Luo and Xiao Ruoxi were sitting.

When the young man saw Xiao Ruoxi, his eyes lit up. Then, when he saw Qin Luo sitting opposite her, a frivolous smile mixed with jealousy and disdain immediately appeared on his face. He deliberately raised his voice and spoke in a sarcastic tone to his companion, but actually pointing at Qin Luo.

"Yo!

Isn't this our beautiful Xiao?

"Found a new 'meal ticket' so quickly? Tsk tsk, this guy looks unfamiliar. Where does he work? Could he be... someone who lives off women?"

His words were extremely malicious, directly portraying Qin Luo as a "kept man" by Xiao Ruoxi.

Upon hearing this, Qin Luo raised an eyebrow slightly, put down his teacup, and calmly looked at the young man. A kept man? Being kept by a sugar daddy?

That's a really novel way of putting it.

The moment Xiao Ruoxi saw the young man, her face immediately darkened, and her good mood vanished.

She lowered her voice and spoke quickly to Qin Luo with disgust.

"His name is Jiang Mingcheng. He's the assistant director of the 'Flying Fairy from Heaven' production team and one of Chen Tianfeng's most loyal lackeys!"

Qin Luo suddenly realized that they were Chen Tianfeng's henchmen.

According to Xiao Ruoxi, Jiang Mingcheng is a local director who is determined to squeeze into the so-called "Beijing Circle". To this end, he does not hesitate to be obsequious and try his best to curry favor with people in the Beijing Circle. He even tries to gain recognition and resources by "connecting" some big shots and finding "young ladies". He is mainly responsible for some lucrative and manipulative work such as casting.

Although he was unwilling to remain an assistant director and desperately wanted to climb the ranks, his frivolous and sarcastic manner made him very disliked.

Xiao Ruoxi had always hated his lecherous and malicious gaze when they were on set.

Qin Luo slowly stood up.

He was already tall and upright, and when he stood up, he immediately gave off a sense of imposing superiority.

His gaze swept indifferently over Jiang Mingcheng's oily face, glistening with the effects of alcohol and smugness. A sneer curled at the corner of his lips, and his voice, though not loud, carried clearly throughout the relatively quiet lobby.

"I thought it was someone barking here, but it turns out to be Chen Tianfeng's dog. What? The master hasn't even arrived yet, and the dog is already barking?"

These words were like an invisible slap in the face to Jiang Mingcheng!

He usually hates being called a "lackey," and now that Qin Luo has publicly humiliated him like this, the frivolous smile on his face instantly froze, then turned ashen, and a surge of anger rushed to his head!

"What...what did you say?! You dare say that again?!"

Jiang Mingcheng's fingers trembled with anger as he pointed at Qin Luo, his voice becoming shrill with rage.

His three companions immediately surrounded him, staring at Qin Luo with unfriendly expressions.

Qin Luo showed no fear, casually putting his hands in his pockets, his eyes remaining calm, even with a hint of mockery, a stark contrast to Jiang Mingcheng's furious appearance.

He stood calmly facing off against Jiang Mingcheng and his group, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

Looking at Jiang Mingcheng's face, and remembering how she had suffered so much injustice and cyberbullying because of Chen Tianfeng and his henchmen, Xiao Ruoxi felt a surge of anger and wanted to stand up and argue.

Qin Luo, however, seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. He reached out his left hand and gently placed it on her shoulder, signaling her to calm down and not to lower herself to the level of this kind of person.

Just then, there was another commotion at the restaurant entrance.

Chen Tianfeng walked in surrounded by a group of people.

He was still wearing a baseball cap and a mask, but his exposed eyes showed obvious irritation and impatience. His manager, Sister Hua, followed expressionlessly beside him, along with two burly bodyguards and his assistant, Wang Li.

Chen Tianfeng had obviously also noticed the standoff. His gaze swept coldly over Qin Luo and Xiao Ruoxi, and a hint of resentment flashed in his eyes, especially when he saw Xiao Ruoxi.

He originally intended to ignore the two of them and go directly to the reserved spot, but hearing Jiang Mingcheng and Qin Luo's conversation, especially Qin Luo's phrase "Chen Tianfeng's dog," made his anger flare up again.

The trouble he suffered at the bar yesterday, his eyes still feeling uncomfortable, the inexplicable suppression of online comments, and the banning of his account—all these frustrations made him extremely unhappy whenever he saw Qin Luo.

He stopped and spoke to the restaurant manager, who was rushing over, in an unquestionable, commanding tone.

"Manager, I don't like seeing annoying people ruining my meal. Get those two flies out of here!"

The direction he was pointing was none other than Qin Luo and Xiao Ruoxi.

The manager clearly recognized Chen Tianfeng, the big star, and knew about the power behind him. He immediately looked troubled, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead.

He subconsciously turned his gaze to Qin Luo, who was still standing calmly, as if asking for his opinion with his eyes.

Qin Luo looked at the manager's terrified expression, then at Chen Tianfeng's arrogant, all-powerful demeanor, and suddenly smiled. But that smile was icy cold, devoid of any warmth. (End of Chapter)
