This made Liang Shuang extremely happy. She originally thought that this video showcasing her positive energy would improve her image, increase her popularity, and help her improve her ranking in the beauty competition.
Unexpectedly, the hype suddenly exploded, giving her this pleasant surprise.
Seeing her rapidly growing number of followers, Liang Shuang was filled with excitement. Her previously clueless career as an internet celebrity had just begun.
After that, she lost all interest in her work and waited until the end of the workday. Under the resentful gaze of her team leader, that old woman, she picked up her bag and left work with a flourish.
In the dormitory, Luo Yan was reminded by someone that she was being cyberbullied. Following the clues, she discovered the video that Liang Shuang had posted on Weibo.
No one can be indifferent to something like this.
Luo Yan couldn't help but feel some resentment towards Liang Shuang. She was very grateful to Liang Shuang for standing up for her on the bus and even treated her to a meal that day.
However, Liang Shuang posted the video of her being molested online without her permission, which made her very uncomfortable.
What's more, the fact that their faces weren't even blurred and their appearances were fully displayed in the video made people even more uncomfortable, not to mention that it led to them being cyberbullied.
So she waited in her dormitory for Liang Shuang to get off work, hoping that she would delete the video, clarify the facts, and end this farce.
At 7 p.m., Liang Shuang walked into the dormitory humming a song. She saw Luo Yan sitting there with a sullen face and felt a little uncomfortable, but she still put on a cold look.
Luo Yan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Liang Shuang, I have something to tell you!"
Liang Shuang glanced at her, suppressing her inner turmoil: "What is it?"
Luo Yan stared at her and said, "Did you post that video?"
Liang Shuang looked away, somewhat guilty, and explained, "Oh, I was practicing making short videos at the time, so I filmed the whole process. I thought it was quite meaningful, so I posted it on Weibo!"
Luo Yan said, "Liang Shuang, you should delete it!"
After a brief pause, Luo Yan continued, "I don't want to become the subject of netizens' gossip, nor do I want to be criticized!"
Liang Shuang was silent for a moment before saying, "It's already been posted, and many people have reposted it. It's too late to delete it now."
Luo Yan said, "Then please help me issue a clarification and explain the situation."
Liang Shuang said, "How can I explain this?"
Luo Yan said, "You are the person involved, you should know why I pushed you back then. It was entirely for your own good. Just explain the situation online, and the matter will be over."
Considering her current popularity and her aspirations for becoming an online influencer, Liang Shuang was unwilling to give up such a good opportunity to gain followers and boost her popularity.
After hesitating for a moment, he shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, what's done is done, and there's nothing I can do about it now. Actually, you can try to clarify things yourself."
Luo Yan said with a wry smile, "Your video is right there, and it's so misleading, how can I clarify it?"
“You posted the video, so you have the most say. Clarifying the truth online is the most effective way for you to do so.”
Liang Shuang hesitated for a moment, but still didn't want to miss this opportunity.
He glanced helplessly at Luo Yan and explained, "I'm just a small internet celebrity with only a few followers. This matter has already become a hot topic online and is beyond my control."
"You think I can calm things down by posting a clarification online? Absolutely not."
"You know what's going on online right now, it's not that simple."
Luo Yan said, "It won't take much effort to clarify things for me."
Liang Shuang's expression also turned cold: "Sorry, I can't help you."
Luo Yan snorted, not wanting to stay there any longer, and stormed out of the dormitory.
Chapter 321 Interests and Morality
After watching Luo Yan leave the dormitory, although she felt a little guilty, she had to drive that guilt out of her heart when she thought about her newly started online celebrity career and her current popularity online.
She already had a bad relationship with Luo Yan and the others, and didn't have many friends at school. There was no need for her to let others hold her back, especially with such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
After offering some solace to her conscience about her moral failings, Liang Shuang finally calmed down. Composing herself, she looked at her rapidly growing number of Weibo followers, and the earlier frustration vanished without a trace.
Open the instructional video and continue learning.
On the other side, Jiang Xiaoguo was worried about Luo Yan's situation. She hurriedly finished her work and wanted to leave.
Unfortunately, she was called back by her boss. The company's new issue was to be released the day after tomorrow, and many people, including Jiang Xiaoguo, had to stay and work overtime.
Jiang Xiaoguo was busy until after 8 p.m. before she hurriedly rushed back home.
When they arrived at the school, the dormitory was empty. Luo Yan wasn't there, Duan Jiabao had gone to Kunming with the artists, and only Liang Shuang was sitting there looking at the computer.
Jiang Xiaoguo's face hardened for a moment, then softened as she smiled and leaned closer, saying, "Liang Shuang, you're working so hard! You're still learning how to make videos! Actually, with your face and those long legs, you could definitely become an internet celebrity."
Liang Shuang glanced at her: "Are you praising me, or are you mocking me for not studying?"
Jiang Xiaoguo: "I..."
Liang Shuang snorted: "If you don't know how to flatter, then don't. It'll only embarrass you, and it'll make me uncomfortable too."
Jiang Xiaoguo smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Yes, you're right."
"Hey Liang Shuang, I need to talk to you about something. Could you please delete that video you posted?"
Liang Shuang glanced at her: "Why did you delete it?"
Jiang Xiaoguo said, "Look, we share a dorm with Shitou. Because of the video you posted, Shitou is being cyberbullied. A lot of people online are cursing her. Shouldn't we help her?"
Liang Shuang said, "How could I not help her? I chased away the pervert in the car for her. Who was the one who did the good deed? It was me!"
Jiang Xiaoguo said, "But now Shitou is being cyberbullied because of your heroic act video. I know you did it to help Shitou. We are roommates and classmates. Now that Shitou is being insulted online, shouldn't we help her?"
Liang Shuang said, "I'm not her father or mother, why should I keep helping her?"
Jiang Xiaoguo was angered by her words and said in disbelief, "You... how could you say that? She's being cyberbullied because of the video you posted. Look how badly she's being attacked online. Shouldn't you help her?"
Liang Shuang glanced at her expressionlessly: "It's too late. The video has already been released, and it's already generating buzz. This matter is beyond my control."
"You think I, a nobody internet celebrity, can turn this around all by myself? You're too naive."
Jiang Xiaoguo said, "Then we should at least give it a try. As someone directly involved in this matter, your words will definitely carry weight. We've lived with Shi Tou for several years; shouldn't we help each other?"
Liang Shuang felt slightly uncomfortable. Jiang Xiaoguo's words, along with her sense of morality that she had developed over the years, made her realize that what she was doing was wrong.
However, seeing her rapidly growing number of followers on Weibo and fantasizing about riding this wave to stardom as an internet celebrity, she really didn't want to clarify the matter now. If netizens lose their focus, the buzz will disappear.
Such opportunities are rare in a person's lifetime.
Hardening her resolve, Liang Shuang turned to look at Jiang Xiaoguo and said, "Do you think I have a good relationship with you? Why should I help you?"
"Also, I said, if it's useless, it's useless."
Jiang Xiaoguo was furious.
Pointing at Liang Shuang, he said, "Liang Shuang, what's wrong with you now! I know that this video has made you very popular online, which is helpful for your career as an internet celebrity, but you can't achieve your goal by harming the stone."
Liang Shuang was a little angry and glared at her: "Who hurt Shitou? I helped her on the bus. Now, just because I didn't help her, I'm the bad guy?"
Say whatever you want!
Jiang Xiaoguo was furious: "Liang Shuang, you're so cold-blooded."
Liang Shuang felt even more uncomfortable and slammed her laptop shut.
"You're the only good person, all of you are great people, okay? I'm the bad person."
"Turn off the lights and go to sleep."
Jiang Xiaoguo didn't stand on ceremony: "What time is it? Is it time yet? Turn off the lights."
Liang Shuang snorted: "Whatever."
I climbed into bed and started to rest.
Luo Yan didn't return until after 10 p.m.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Xiaoguo immediately asked with concern, "Shitou, where have you been? Why are you only coming back now?"
Luo Yan forced a smile: "It's nothing, I went to the library to read."
"Ah!" Jiang Xiaoguo was a little surprised. It was so rare to see Luo Yan, a gamer, going to the library.
He then asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
Luo Yan said, "What could be wrong with me? It's getting late, and I want to rest early today."
Jiang Xiaoguo knew that Luo Yan must be feeling bad, and didn't want to say anything more to upset her. She kept all the words in her mind to herself, turned off the lights, and rested.
The next day, after Jiang Xiaoguo had breakfast, she brought some more food back to the dormitory for Luo Yan. She found that Liang Shuang was no longer there, and Luo Yan had not yet gotten up.
Then she whispered to comfort him, "Shitou, don't be sad. I know you've been wronged. We will definitely help you. Even if Liang Shuang doesn't help, Da Bao and I are still here!"
Luo Yan was somewhat touched, but she still pretended to be indifferent.
"Xiaoguo, thank you, but you don't need to go to so much trouble. I didn't do anything wrong, why should I be sad? It's getting late, you should go to work."
"Okay, alright!" Jiang Xiaoguo glanced at Luo Yan, whose complexion seemed quite normal, before heading off to the company.
She originally didn't want to bother Duan Jiabao, who was taking an artist on his first business trip to Kunming, but things had come to this point, and she had no choice but to disturb him.
Duan Jiabao had also noticed the online comments and, after discussing it with Jiang Xiaoguo, decided to help Luo Yan in his own way.
They tagged some influential figures on social media, and Duan Jiabao used her financial power to get artists from her company to speak out, trying to reverse public opinion and shift the target of cyberbullying from the victim Luo Yan to the perpetrator.
Unfortunately, public opinion did not change; on the contrary, the issue became increasingly heated.
What started as a simple online incident, with only a few self-media outlets jumping on the bandwagon and hyping it up, unexpectedly saw some mainstream news media get involved, causing the story to spread to a wider audience.
