Handong: Sha Li wants political achievements? I'll shut down the entire province.

"For the Guangming Peak project, each of you will have to bleed a little!"

The desperate roar burst from Secretary Zhang's phone speaker.

The first conference room of the provincial party committee fell into a deathly silence.

You could hear a pin drop clearly.

Team Leader Qi stared intently at the screen, his gaunt face twitching.

In the video footage, hundreds of drones are seen swooping down from the sky.

The camera then pans to the more than one hundred huge unfinished infrastructure pits at Guangming Peak.

The deep pits filled with yellow muddy water looked like festering sores on the face of Jingzhou.

The left half of the video shows Li Dakang's grand vision for the country, which he once outlined on television.

The right half is now a ruin where even a stray dog ​​wouldn't bother to defecate.

The recording also included the forced donation conversation in the conference room.

"These are the good soldiers you've trained!" Team Leader Qi slammed his phone on the table.

The phone slid a long way before hitting a teacup and coming to a stop.

"Forcing companies to bleed money has resulted in a multi-billion dollar unfinished project!"

Team Leader Qi pointed at Li Dakang's nose and spat all over his face.

"You, Li Dakang, may have no shame, but our Beijing investigation team still has one!"

Li Dakang's face turned as red as a pig's liver, and the veins on his neck bulged out one by one.

He grabbed his phone, staring at the dense barrage of comments on the screen, and his vision blurred.

The screen was filled with comments like "Secretary Dakang's GDP has fallen into a pit" and "Jingzhou's biggest pit".

"This is slander! This is malicious editing!"

Li Dakang suddenly stood up, causing his chair to slide backward a long distance.

"That bastard Yan Qingfeng actually brought a bugging device to the meeting!"

"Slander?" Team Leader Qi sneered, looking at him like he was an idiot.

"Was the footage they took of the land you marked out? Is the recording your exact words?"

He slammed his fist on the solid wood tabletop, making the teacup lid bounce.

"The whole internet is laughing at you now, what do you have to say to shut everyone up!"

Li Dakang deflated like a punctured balloon and slumped back down.

His once-proud achievements are now nailed to the pillar of shame, becoming a spectacle for people to enjoy.

At the same time, in Jingzhou CBD, at the headquarters of Lingxiao Media.

The top-floor data control center was brightly lit.

On a large data screen covering an entire wall, a red line is rising at an alarming rate.

Hua Linglong, dressed in a burgundy haute couture business suit, swirled the wine glass in her hand.

She leaned back lazily in the leather swivel chair, her nail-painted fingers gently tapping the armrests.

"Boss Hua, the video has surpassed 50 million views across the entire internet!" The data director typed excitedly on his keyboard.

"Too slow." Hua Linglong took a sip of red wine, a cold smile curving her fiery red lips.

"Master Yan said that Secretary Li's achievements should be known throughout the country."

She stood up, her high heels clicking silently on the cashmere carpet.

"Notify the algorithm department to fully open the traffic pool gates."

Hua Linglong walked to the large screen and tapped the bullet comments on the screen with her fair finger.

"Take Secretary Li's phrase 'shed some blood' and use it as material for the top content creators in the parody video section."

The data director paused for a moment, then swallowed hard.

"Boss Hua, if we do this, what if the cyber police trace it back to our IP addresses..."

"Investigate what?" Hua Linglong turned her head, her peach blossom eyes full of mockery.

"We didn't spread any rumors, nor did we Photoshop any images. All we released were real aerial shots and original audio recordings."

She smoothed the stray hairs at her temples, her tone exuding a righteous and assertive air.

"This is called news oversight, this is called spontaneous creation by netizens. With Attorney Lin's legal team backing you up, what are you afraid of!"

Upon hearing this, the supervisor immediately understood and turned to shout at the workstation.

"One, two, three! Spread the meme videos to all the major short video platforms!"

The copy should read: "Shocking! Hundreds of billions of yuan in foreign investment have fled, all because of a single sentence from the municipal party secretary!"

The entire control center instantly sprang to life like a wound-up machine, with a cacophony of keyboard clicks filling the air.

In less than half an hour, Li Dakang's face was photoshopped into all sorts of emojis.

Coupled with dynamic electronic sounds, it went viral on various platforms.

Hua Linglong leaned against the control panel, watching the public opinion ferment with satisfaction.

"We can't just laugh it off; the people are still hungry."

She put down her wine glass, her eyes suddenly sharpening.

"Group Two, release the second hook we've prepared."

The operations manager next to him quickly came over and lowered his voice.

"Hua Zong, are you really going to spread the message in those grocery shopping groups and square dancing groups?"

"Release." Hua Linglong uttered a single word, decisive and firm.

"Just say the government is out of money. These hundreds of pits at Guangming Peak will cost billions just to fill them with soil."

The smile on her lips grew colder and colder, like a venomous snake flicking its tongue.

"Tell those elderly folks that the municipal party committee is preparing to divert people's savings to fill the hole."

The supervisor gasped; this move was utterly devastating.

"Be clean and don't use the large number; use health and wellness accounts that older women usually like to read to share this."

Hua Linglong waved her hand and turned to look at the bustling night view of Jingzhou outside the window.

"Master Yan's plan is complete. Today, I'm going to throw Jingzhou into complete chaos."

Let's shift our focus back to the first conference room of the provincial party committee.

Li Dakang was holding his phone, cursing loudly at the director of the Internet Supervision Bureau on the other end of the line.

"Delete the posts! Remove all the trending topics! What are you guys doing?!"

"Secretary Li, we can't remove it!" The director of the Internet Supervision Bureau was so anxious he was almost crying.

"Their servers are all located overseas, and they are using a snowballing algorithm for distribution."

"Besides, their content didn't violate any rules, and if we forcibly ban them, it's likely to cause a bigger backlash!"

"I don't care if it's against the rules! Cut off the internet immediately!"

Li Dakang completely lost his mind, like a mad dog cornered against a wall.

Team Leader Qi watched coldly from the side, just about to start a reprimand.

"Bang!"

The conference room door was suddenly slammed open.

Secretary Xiao Jin stumbled and scrambled in, running so fast that one of her leather shoes flew off.

"Secretary Li! A huge mess has occurred!"

Xiao Jin fell onto the carpet, his face as pale as a dead man, and scrambled to his feet.

Li Dakang was startled and enraged.

"Even if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up! What are you panicking about!"

Xiao Jin knelt on the ground, holding up a tablet, her hands trembling like a leaf.

"The sky has fallen! The whole internet is saying our municipal party committee has gone bankrupt!"

Team Leader Qi frowned and suddenly stood up.

"Nonsense! Even with a tight budget, how could we possibly go bankrupt!"

Xiao Jin swallowed hard, tears welling up in her eyes.

"It's being said online that the municipal party committee is going to use people's bank savings to fill the unfinished pit at Guangming Peak!"

Li Dakang's mind went blank, his vision went black, and he almost collapsed on the conference table.

"This is blatant fabrication! Let the police arrest them!"

"I can't catch it!" Xiao Jin cried, her voice hoarse.

"This news has gone viral in all the square dance groups and homeowner groups in Jingzhou!"

He pointed to the street outside the window, his voice becoming shrill and strained.

"Now all the elderly people in the city believe it, and they're rushing to various banks with their passbooks!"

Li Dakang gripped the edge of the table, his legs trembling uncontrollably.

"What did the bank manager say?"

Xiao Jin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked at the high-ranking officials in despair.

"President Qian Duoduo just called, and he was almost crying on the phone."

Team Leader Qi strode over and grabbed Xiao Jin by the collar.

"Why is he, a bank president, crying! Let him open the vault and issue loans to appease the public!"

Xiao Jin's eyes rolled back as he was being strangled, and he stammered out a sentence.

"President Qian said that if we don't urgently allocate 5 billion yuan from our reserves..."

Xiao Jin took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and shouted.

"In less than half an hour, all the city commercial banks in Jingzhou will be driven to the brink of collapse by the people!"
