My capital is quite large.

Hong Kong, Mid-Levels, first floor of Ao Xuan.

The long table in the study was cluttered with English documents and various educational monographs.

In order to finish the journal article that would qualify her for doctoral graduation by the end of the year, Yang Mi has cleared herself of all unimportant and trivial matters these past few days.

"Buzzing—"

The phone that was lying to the side suddenly vibrated.

Yang Mi frowned, answered the video call, and immediately Dilraba's chubby cheeks popped up on the screen.

"Honey! You're making me so angry!"

As soon as the call connected, Reba couldn't wait to pour out her grievances:

"Wang Yishi, the boss of that future car company, is incredibly arrogant!"

"At today's press conference, in front of so many outsiders, she kept calling me 'Xiao Di,' and her eyes and tone were like she was ordering her around like a servant!"

She also made sarcastic remarks, saying that actors in the entertainment industry are all brainless, and that those who make period soap operas lack sentiment and sophistication!

"Their words are full of mockery, calling us Jiaxing nouveau riche ignorant fools. They even imply that investing in them is beneath us, and we should just obediently hand over our money to them as ATMs!"

"Clatter!"

Yang Mi slammed the pen in her hand onto the table with a sharp crack.

The fox-like eyes behind the glasses flashed with a chilling light in that instant.

"Looking down on actors? Thinking that filmmakers are brainless?!"

Yang Mi laughed in anger:

"A car company owner's wife who makes a living by swindling money with PowerPoint presentations dares to boss me around?!"

"Who does she think she is?!"

Yang Mi took off her glasses, tossed them casually on the table, and coldly ordered:

"Alright, you don't need to worry about this anymore."

"Since she's so arrogant, let's see...we'll see!"

After hanging up the video call, Dilraba, sitting in the back seat of the van, looked at the blacked-out phone screen and couldn't help but feel a secret sense of satisfaction.

He sank comfortably into the seat and hummed a little tune.

Those who flatter their superiors will inevitably bully their subordinates.

She had been kneeling in the Purple Mountain Manor for long enough, and naturally she had to make up for her suppressed pride by taking it out on outsiders!

What's more, she knows her boss, Yang Mi, all too well—she's a ruthless character who won't suffer the slightest loss!

……

In the business world, retribution never takes long.

Early the next morning.

As countless office workers expertly opened Haofeng's Weibo, ready to follow the drama, a batch of extremely obscure terms inexplicably appeared on the trending topics list:

Wang Yishi's early hosting skills were questioned.

[A list of TV hosts who tailor their interviews to different people]

[A wealthy socialite or just a cheap, pretty face?]

Clicking into the topic reveals high-definition video clips that have been precisely edited by a professional team.

The footage is a compilation of embarrassing moments from the past when the owner of the future car company was an English news anchor on a TV station.

When interviewing foreign guests, he stumbled over his words, asked shallow questions, and was unable to get a word in edgewise when facing scholars with real expertise. When facing guests of different statuses, his arrogance and obsequiousness, which he could not hide in front of the camera, were magnified and displayed frame by frame.

In the comments section, a large number of netizens, misled by online trolls, complained:

"This level of hosting is enough to get on TV? The whole thing was awkward small talk; they didn't get a single useful question out of them!"

"He looks so mean; he's all smiles to the rich and powerful, but rolls his eyes at ordinary guests—a classic case of playing favorites against them!"

"If your skills are this bad, don't embarrass yourself in public. You should go work in a factory tightening screws!"

However, amidst the widespread ridicule, many rational netizens, faced with this overwhelming barrage of negative information, were also filled with questions:

"Who is this person? He retired from the entertainment industry ten years ago, and he wasn't very famous back then. Why is he suddenly being criticized all over the internet?"

"Don't know them +1. Buying so many negative trending topics so early in the morning, they've clearly offended someone!"

……

However, the mockery directed at the proprietress was merely an appetizer.

That afternoon.

On the phenomenal short video platform, Yin Fu App, which boasts hundreds of millions of young users.

The video recommendation pages of countless car reviewers and tech bloggers are flooded with negative revelations about the future of cars!

[Thrilling! Real-world testing of a future car's driver assistance system reveals frequent, unannounced exits on urban roads!]

[Ghost acceleration or a system bug? A future concept car suddenly loses control during a high-speed lane change, resulting in a tire blowout!]

[PPT Car Manufacturing or Industrial Waste? In-Depth Analysis of the Range Lies of Emerging Electric Vehicle Manufacturers!]

Various dashcam footage and data analysis charts are flooding the internet.

With precise algorithm-based recommendations, almost every potential customer interested in new energy vehicles is greeted with critical quality issues for future cars the moment they swipe open the screen!

This is tantamount to a catastrophe for a high-end electric vehicle brand that is in a critical period of financing and urgently needs to build brand trust!

The public relations department of Future Auto panicked!

They immediately issued a strongly worded statement on their official website, claiming that they had been subjected to "unfair competition and malicious defamation by certain competitors."

Meanwhile, the public relations director, armed with a legal letter, frantically contacted the official customer service and content review departments of the Yinpu platform, demanding that these negative videos be banned and removed from the entire network.

however.

The official response from a major platform that usually handles infringement complaints extremely quickly was surprisingly indifferent this time:

"We apologize, but after review by the platform's compliance team, the relevant video content contains genuine dashcam footage and objective user experiences, and there is no fabrication of facts."

"Based on the principle of the public's right to know, the platform has neither the right nor the obligation to remove relevant authentic evaluation content."

……

Yanjing, the headquarters of Future Auto.

The chairman's office was filled with smoke, and the founder, Li Wei, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, his phone almost constantly in his hand.

The company received a barrage of inquiries from venture capital firms. Potential investors who had been on the verge of finalizing the deal said they "need to reassess the risks" after seeing the overwhelming amount of negative information about the product's safety online.

"Who on earth is messing with us?!"

Li Wei slammed down the phone, furiously grabbing his hair and staring intently at the computer screen.

"Ideal? Or XPeng?!"

"We're all emerging car manufacturers, just trying to make a living in this small space. How could they possibly have the power to block us across the entire internet, including on platforms like Yinpu and Weibo?!"

In Li Wei's view, although the competition among peers is fierce, no one has such extensive media control!

Just when Li Wei was completely clueless.

Wang Yishi looked rather grim as she looked at the tens of thousands of offensive and abusive comments under her Weibo post.

She may be arrogant, but she is not stupid.

It's impossible that his own old news and the company's negative news broke out at almost the same time!

She recalled the harsh words she had said to that popular actress named Dilraba at the press conference yesterday, and Dilraba's meaningful sneer before she left...
