The world is in trouble

Chapter 313 The Complete Eruption! A Global Idol!
In a sense, Google has gotten what it wanted.

Following Lian Yi's interview at the Northern District Court of California, the topic of Er Gou's relationship became a hot topic.

Whether Lin Xiao wanted it or not, his relationship was once again thrust into the spotlight and brought into the public eye.

He became famous last year when he rushed to save Wu Lingxi during the shooting at the premiere of "The Dark Knight".

That image once sparked the popularity of quantum phones and also thoroughly fueled the controversy surrounding Google's alleged plagiarism of quantum technology.

This time, the level of popularity is no less than that of last year.

Because Er Gou is always a figure in the spotlight, the recent global success of "2012" and the popularity of "Fallout: New Vegas" have kept him in the spotlight.

Moreover, Wu Lingxi's deification campaign for Er Gou has been going on for two years and hasn't stopped yet.

This complicated relationship only added fuel to the fire.

However... public opinion clearly did not move in the direction Google wanted.

Google's manipulation of public opinion is clearly intended to portray Lin Xiao as a super scumbag, cheating on three women, and to once again incite global condemnation from women and envy from men worldwide.

The result... was unexpected.

This kind of public opinion trampling did not occur.

On the contrary, countless girls have already imagined numerous romantic scenarios of unrequited love.

This youngest and most handsome billionaire in the world has never been involved with any supermodels or Hollywood actresses. The women he has had romantic entanglements with are all women he has known for nearly ten years.

The three girls were all more beautiful and more outstanding than the last.

A beautiful CEO who controls a multi-billion dollar internet empire, a Yale Law School PhD, a top-tier lawyer who has long been on the front lines at Google.

But Er Gou, the leader of the cult, chose to marry a high school teacher, who has the most ordinary profession.

Now look at what other billionaires are doing? They change girlfriends like they change clothes and attend all sorts of extravagant events.

In comparison, Er Gou's private life can be described as spotless.

Even after this storm of public opinion reached the domestic market, it did not trigger the previous wave of condemnation.

Because, in everyone's mind, this is already old news.

The leader of the "Ergou Cult" has already paid the price for this, completely disappearing from the public eye and not making a public appearance since.

Besides...

Now, four or five years have passed, and the feelings between these people haven't changed at all.

So, although it goes against social morality, many people even want to offer their blessings.

Immediately afterwards, a video appeared on the internet.

The story details the complicated relationship between Wu Lingxi and Er Gou, who were enemies for four years. Ultimately, due to the Renren.com controversy, Wu Lingxi lost everything and was almost sent to prison and a mental hospital.

It was only by spending enormous political resources and relinquishing a massive amount of equity that Er Gou (the "Second Dog") managed to protect Wu Lingxi. Furthermore, he handed over all power at Facebook overseas to her, thus creating Facebook's multi-billion dollar internet empire.

The updates to this global scandal are happening incredibly fast.

This version, however, is absolutely stunning.

A multi-billion dollar internet empire, handed over by Er Gou without a second thought?!
Isn't this a bit too crazy?

Then, they unearthed an old melon, but it would be considered a new melon in the United States.

That is, Lin Xiao once abandoned the Lightning Group because of a scandal involving two women, and handed it over to a woman named Xia Xi.

Currently, Lightning Group is China's largest social networking site and largest gaming company.

At this moment, Susan Collins, the CEO of Dream Vision, also stepped forward.

"Lin conceived a story and felt that I, as a woman, was more suitable to write this book, so The Hunger Games came about and brought me astronomical wealth."

“This is nothing. One day, Lin asked me if I would like to be the CEO of Dream Vision. My mind went blank. I had only met him no more than five times in total. I was just a writer and a producer. He handed the whole company over to me. And now this company has become the world’s largest film and television unicorn. I have inexplicably become a net worth of several hundred million dollars, or even more.”

"In fact, even now, several years later, I still don't know why I became the CEO of Dream Vision."

Immediately afterwards, Vince Gilligan stepped in.

“In 2005, I wrote the script for Breaking Bad. It was still incomplete at the time. I approached many TV stations, but none of them were optimistic about it and were unwilling to film the show.”

"One day, Er Gou found me, and we talked about the script for a whole day for no apparent reason. Then he picked up a pen and we worked together to improve the script and wrote the scripts for the second and third seasons."

"Nobody wanted to invest, but he just put in 20 million US dollars and filmed the first season."

"Just a year later, he asked me again if I would like to be the president of Dream Vision, specifically in charge of the TV series business. As a result, the most popular shows in the United States, such as Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead, appeared. Even before our third and fourth big projects were approved, the cult leader and I had just finished writing the scripts, and they were already being snatched up by many TV stations."

"Now I have a net worth of several hundred million dollars, or even more?"

"I don't know how I got up here, but I'm definitely not going down."

As the version was updated, countless people discovered...

Depend on!
This "Second Dog Cult Leader" is the true embodiment of the American Dream.

The key point is that he didn't achieve his own dream; he always helped others realize theirs.

More and more people are being unearthed, including even Wu Di, Liu Zuohu, Bai Yongxiang, and others in quantum technology, who were discovered from humble beginnings.

They are now in charge of their respective regions and have a net worth of hundreds of millions.

Next, JE. Sawyer, the boss of EPIC, the founder of CEPR, the founder of Obsidian Entertainment, the founder of Steam, and many others recorded videos on YouTube.

“I was just a small-time game designer when Er Gou suddenly gave me $1500 million, then started a studio, and Fallout 3 was born. I took the helm of this game studio, which is worth more than ten figures. I don’t know how I got there, but I definitely wasn’t going to leave.” Sawyer

Marcin: "Back then, CD Projekt Red was dirt poor, we couldn't even keep making games, we were looking for money everywhere but couldn't find any. Through a friend of a friend of a friend, we found Er Gou, the 'Master of Chinese Cults,' and he gave us five million dollars directly. Then we asked him a second, a third, a fourth, a fifth... I don't even know how many times we asked him for money, or how much we asked for in total. Then The Witcher came out, and next year... or maybe the year after, The Witcher 2 is coming out soon. We inexplicably became one of the top game studios in Europe. We don't know how we got there, but we definitely couldn't stay down."

Obsidian Entertainment founder: "After Fallout 3 came out, it was a huge success, and as the original owners of the Fallout IP, we were met with a lot of ridicule and skepticism. At that time, although we congratulated Fallout 3, we were jealous and even a little bit resentful. Then, the founder of Fallout Studios came to us with 30 million US dollars and commissioned us to develop a Fallout spin-off. He handed our original game over to us, and that's how Fallout: New Vegas came about."

"With this game, Obsidian Entertainment has once again become one of the best game studios in the United States. We don't know how we got there, but we certainly don't want to go back down."

Next came two white men who looked rather unsteady.

"We are the founders of Onlyfans, and one day..."

Forget it, just shut up! People who get involved in erotica are a bit disgraceful.

This version kept getting upgraded and upgraded, eventually breaking completely out of Google's original control over public opinion.

Wu Lingxi's side has been launching a campaign to make Er Gou a god for about two years, but the results of the past two years are not as good as those of the past ten days.

This public opinion seemed to have been building up for a long time before suddenly erupting.

Countless people around the world have discovered that this "Second Dog Cult Leader" is a figure even more legendary than a legend.

How many people's destinies did he change? How many people's dreams did he fulfill?

Or to put it more directly, how many ordinary people from humble backgrounds did he promote? How many billionaires did he create?
Those he supported all became top performers in their respective fields.

The Google staff were completely baffled.

FUCK, we originally wanted to recreate the scandal from four or five years ago, to ruin Er Gou's reputation once again and make him a target of public condemnation.

As a result, how did public opinion get steered in this direction?
Instead, it made him an idol for countless people?
Has he become a global legend?

Moreover, public opinion has begun to ferment, evolve, and upgrade itself.

A reporter interviewed Amy Pascal, chairman of Sony Columbia.

"Lin, he's a powerful figure in Hollywood, but... he's always kept his distance from the world of fame and fortune. He almost never attends any cocktail parties or gatherings. The only reason he showed up at this year's Oscars was to promote WeChat at the Oscars party."

Anne Hathaway: "No? I haven't seen Lin since last year. I want to say thank you here. Also, hey... Lin, if you have any new film projects, you might want to consider me!"

Christopher Nolan: "I'm in frequent contact with Lin, on Facebook, on WeChat, and we exchange a lot of emails, all about movies and scripts. But he has nothing to do with Hollywood; he has no interest in that kind of fame and fortune."

Then, someone even posted a very blurry video.

The video of Lin Xiao and Xiao Momo's wedding ceremony at the ancestral hall last year was filmed very shakily and was not clear.

But it's clear.

The ancestral hall was not lavish at all, and the people attending the wedding were not wealthy or noble; most of them were very simple, hardworking rural Chinese people.

This doesn't look like the wedding of a top billionaire at all; it's more like the wedding of a well-off family in rural China.

Therefore, this creates a huge contrast.

On one side is the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, a multi-billion dollar internet empire, and the ultimate arena of fame and fortune.

On one side was such a simple wedding, and on the other side were such simple guests.

It is precisely because of its authenticity that it has such a tremendous impact.

The global public has seen far too many extravagant and lavish weddings.

Celebrity weddings, socialite weddings, billionaire weddings, stand-up comedian weddings, and so on.

Each one is more extravagant and ostentatious than the last.

In terms of power, fame, and wealth, you are worlds apart from Master Er Gou.

As it turned out, Er Gou's wedding was surprisingly lively, bustling, simple, and grand.

"This is the most luxurious wedding in the world."

"This is the most fashionable, the most glamorous, and the most stylish wedding."

"This is the best kind of global idol. He has flaws, he has weaknesses, he is real, and he is also full of brilliance."

This soaring fame quickly translated into increased attention on industries related to Er Gou.

Then... the patent infringement case between Google and Quantum Technology was once again thrust into the spotlight.

Google has discovered that this time it really has backfired.

The lawsuit is attracting more and more attention, and the verdict of last year's plagiarism case has also been brought up again.

Last year, Google sued QuantumCTek for plagiarism, but the case was ultimately reversed, and Android was found to be the likely culprit. That saga was quite heated at the time, but it was largely confined to the tech community and tech-savvy individuals. This time, however, it has captured the attention of the entire global public.

"FUCK, isn't this plagiarism?"

"Back then, Er Gou, the 'Master of Technology,' embraced the idea that technology knows no borders and freely shared his design ideas and logic for mobile operating systems. But a few years later, Google released an identical operating system and even sued Er Gou for plagiarism?"

"Is there anything more absurd than this? Is there anything more ugly than this?"

In this patent infringement case, quantum technology initially held only a slight advantage, but under the weight of a massive public opinion, the balance has been steadily tilting in quantum technology's favor.

Once Ms. Gerken's team discovered this trend, they immediately became proactive once again.

Moreover, Lian Yi's original rank in the team was not high. It was only because she was the most proactive that she took the initiative to step up and rush to the front line when others were unwilling to participate.

After this incident, Lian Yi was immediately promoted to a higher position within the team, becoming the protagonist of this lawsuit.

Moreover, her beauty greatly enhanced the outcome of the lawsuit.

In this world, values ​​really do follow physical appearance, especially since LGBT values ​​haven't fully taken hold yet.

....................................

Shu Wan has been in the United States for some time now, spending all her time with her daughter.

Looking at the reporters not far away, she couldn't help but sigh.

The incident four or five years ago put Lian Zheng and Lian Yi in the eye of the storm.

And this time, her beloved daughter was pushed forward once again.

Before, she would have said it was a tragic fate.

But now... all she can do is sigh.

While eating, Lian Yi looked at various documents, preparing for the next lawsuit.

Shu Wan discovered that her beloved daughter had really changed.

The childishness she once had has disappeared, replaced by a capable demeanor, and her face has become thinner.

It's even more beautiful now.

But... the adorable innocence that parents once loved most, and the last bit of baby face, are gone.

My precious daughter will be 28 years old soon.

Shu Wan's eyes reddened, and she suddenly asked, "Little Water Drop, is it...is it still possible for you to fall in love with someone else? Is there still hope for you to form a normal family with someone else and have children?"

She asked this question because she was clinging to the last shred of hope.

As parents, who wouldn't want their children to get married, have children, and build a normal family?

Lian Yi raised her head, looked at her mother, and fell into thought. Then, a hint of apology appeared in her beautiful eyes, and she shook her head: "I'm sorry, Mom, I probably can't do it."

Shu Wan: "That bastard didn't say anything to you either?"

Lian Yi thought for a while, then took out her phone and showed the text message to Shu Wan.

This text message was sent by Wu Lingxi after she snatched Lin Xiao's phone.

"I love you all, I want to marry you!"

Shu Wan glanced at the time and saw that it was sent last spring.

Immediately, she couldn't help but curse, "Scumbag, shameless!"

Because this text message is about you.

Then, Lian Yi snatched the phone back and continued eating her spaghetti, saying, "Mom, don't ask me what to do next. I don't know either!"

Not to mention Lian Yi, who didn't know what to do, even Shu Wan, as a mother, didn't know what to do.

"What a little bastard, what a scumbag!" Shu Wan couldn't help but say, "Although your father had similar thoughts and tendencies back then, he didn't actually cheat on you with two women at the same time."

Lian Yi couldn't help but look up.

what? !

Aren't Dad and Aunt Ouyang Tang completely innocent?

Shu Wan said, "Don't overthink it. Your father and she are indeed innocent. But in some ways, she is your father's ideal woman. It's just that she is too pure and too reserved, so he doesn't dare to cross the line."

"On the contrary, it was me who was more worldly, more lively, more real, and more courageous, who stole you away."

"And I am absolutely confident that my importance in your father's eyes now far exceeds that of her."

“Your father not only lacks the courage to steal, but also the desire to steal. He is nothing like this bastard.”

The more fiercely Shu Wan cursed, the more helpless she felt inside.

My whole family is tied to this bastard, and I'm even the leader of the medical team at the Quantum Technology Park.

And there's something she doesn't want to say aloud.

From a woman's perspective, she even felt that the entire quantum technology was like a betrothal gift for Lin Xiao to marry Lian Yi.

However, this betrothal gift is not for any one person, but for the whole world.

Moreover, this quantum technology park is located in Ning City, under the jurisdiction of Lien Cheng.

So, if we're talking about romance, you scumbag are really romantic.

You really go all out to pursue girls.

Lian Yi: "Mom, you should come back to China in a while. Dad needs you more. As for me... I actually have everything I need."

Shu Wan: "Last time you said that in front of the courthouse, didn't that bastard respond at all?"

When a reporter asked Lian Yi if she still loved him, she did not answer.
But Lian Yi said in front of the whole world, "I still love him."

Many days have passed, and Lin Xiao has indeed not responded at all—not a single text message or message.

At this moment, Lian Yi was conflicted and struggling.

On the one hand, she was a little worried that Lin Xiao would fly directly to the United States like a reckless teenager and pin her down without saying a word.

On the one hand, deep down she longed for a response from Lin Xiao.

But she didn't know what kind of response she wanted, after all, he was already married.

When she heard her mother, Shu Wan, ask about it, her eyes dimmed and she shook her head.

“He’s already married, so it’s not appropriate for him to give any response,” Lian Yi said.

Shu Wan: "What a scumbag! He has no backbone!"

After she finished cursing, she felt both angry and amused.

A married man really shouldn't respond to this kind of thing; if he did, that would be morally reprehensible.

Then, the conversation between the mother and daughter fell into an awkward atmosphere.

Lian Yi picked up the remote and turned on the TV to ease the awkward atmosphere.

Her home television can also receive domestic television programs.

She instinctively changed the channel, even though she didn't know what kind of TV program she wanted to watch.

The result was that it inexplicably switched to Shanghai TV.

The mother and daughter watched the advertisements listlessly. After the advertisements ended, the classic time announcement began, followed by the evening news broadcast.

The preceding news summary contained very familiar narratives.

Such and such meetings, such and such visits, etc.

suddenly……

"Quantum Technology announced that it will hold its second quantum press conference on the evening of September 30, at which time it will release a major product."

In an instant!
Lian Yi felt as if she had been struck in the heart, and felt a tingling sensation.

Actually, her mind didn't even react immediately, but her heart and body reacted much earlier.

Shu Wan was taken aback: "Wasn't the quantum technology press conference supposed to be on October 9th? It was scheduled a long time ago, why was it changed to September 30th?"

Then she realized what was happening and looked at her precious daughter.

Yes!

September 30th is my daughter's birthday.

Therefore, Lin Xiao changed the press conference to this day.

In the current public opinion climate, at this critical moment in the struggle with Google, this press conference is clearly attracting global attention.

This is equivalent to letting the whole world celebrate the little water droplet's birthday!
Previously, it was said that Lin Xiao had no reaction to Lian Yi's confession, but here you are, waiting for this.

You scumbag, you're actually... damn romantic.

That's a really sophisticated response.

You really go all out to pick up girls!

Shu Wan suddenly realized that her daughter seemed to have become more lively.

It wasn't just his eyes; his whole demeanor started to brighten up.

....................................

Note: I absolutely have to finish the update before 11 AM tomorrow, so sad! My benefactors, could you please give me my monthly votes back?

I recommend my friend Heishan Laogui's new book, "The Gods' Investigation Report," it's really good!
