A live stream that dramatically transformed a depressed schoolgirl shocked netizens across the count

Jiangcheng, the study of the Shen family villa.

Shen Jianguo put down his pen, and ink dripped onto the document, spreading into a black blot.

The heavy wooden door was pushed open, and the secretary strode in.

"Chairman Shen, there are online trolls spreading rumors that Chen Lang is damaging the ecosystem, and Miss's name has also been dragged into it."

Shen Jianguo looked up, placed the pen on the pen holder, picked up the phone that was lying face down on the table, and dialed a number.

The dial tone rang twice before the call was answered.

"Old Lin, it's me."

Shen Jianguo leaned back in his chair.

"Has the budget for controlling Agastache rugosa in Dali been stalled for quite some time now?"

A few whispers came from the other end of the phone.

"Someone has cleaned up a severely affected area for you for free. If the verification results are fine, proceed with the procedures as required and issue the necessary announcements."

The person on the other end of the phone responded repeatedly.

Shen Jianguo closed the folder in front of him.

"Yes, that Chen Lang from the internet."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the lifeless photograph of a young girl in a frame on the corner of the table.

"In addition, I will use my personal account to donate one million yuan to Dali as a special fund for ecological protection in the names of Qingci and Chen Lang."

The secretary quickly took notes on the tablet.

"The process was completed cleanly, and the receipts were kept on file."

Shen Jianguo threw his phone back onto the table.

"Go and do it."

At the same time, in a VIP ward of a private hospital in Shanghai.

Long Shao leaned against the headboard of the hospital bed, his right arm, which was in a cast, swaying with his shoulder.

He held the phone in his left hand, his thumb swiping up the screen repeatedly.

On the trending search list, the term was followed by a dark red "Explosive" character.

In the comments section, identical, template-based condemnations kept being updated.

Long Shao forced a laugh out loud.

"Spending two million on a trending topic was worth it."

The PR director stood at the foot of the bed, his fingers gripping the edge of the tablet tightly.

"Young Master, we've received word from Chenhai that there will be a second round of environmental influencers stirring up trouble at 8 AM tomorrow, aiming to definitively define this matter..."

"Add more money."

Long Shao threw his phone onto the blanket, which aggravated the wound on his right arm, causing him to gasp in pain.

"I want him to kneel down and apologize, with no chance of turning the tables!"

Before he could finish speaking, the tablet in the PR director's hand beeped.

Immediately afterwards, the phone on the blanket vibrated.

The push notification for "Special Attention" completely covered the trending topics page.

The official account of Dali Forestry Bureau has been updated.

[Statement of gratitude to Mr. Chen Lang for his assistance in eradicating the invasive species *Eupatorium adenophorum*]

Long Shao's mouth was half open, his Adam's apple bobbed, but he didn't make a sound.

He picked up his phone, his gaze fixed on those few lines of text.

The announcement was stamped with a bright red official seal.

The area through which Chen Lang's heavy truck passed was identified by a joint expert team through on-site sampling and plant atlas identification as a severely invasive growth zone of Eupatorium adenophorum.

Purple-stemmed Eupatorium is among the first batch of invasive alien species in China. It is extremely destructive to native vegetation, livestock safety and ecosystems, and is a key target for prevention and eradication.

Three high-resolution images are attached below the announcement.

Photos of soil samples taken on site, a stamped plant identification report, and a document jointly signed by three agricultural experts.

The bolded text at the end of the article is particularly eye-catching.

[Mr. Chen Lang's vehicle passing through this area objectively assisted in the suppression and eradication of invasive alien species in our prefecture. We hereby issue this public commendation and express our gratitude.]

[At the same time, we sincerely thank Mr. Chen Lang and Ms. Shen Qingci for donating one million yuan to our prefecture as a special fund for ecological protection.]

Just five minutes later, the official account of the Dali Culture and Tourism Bureau directly forwarded and followed up on the story.

[We thank Mr. Chen Lang for his strong support of Dali's cultural tourism industry.]

[Our bureau has received the coordinates of three high-altitude ecotourism sites provided free of charge by Mr. Chen Lang. Preliminary exploration indicates that the area possesses extremely high development and protection value. Our bureau will immediately organize a professional team to conduct an ecological carrying capacity assessment.]

The Cangshan Mountains and Erhai Lake in Dali will always welcome responsible and dedicated travel bloggers like Mr. Chen Lang.

Two official documents bearing the official seal were placed directly at the top.

The tone of the comments section has completely changed.

[Holy crap! The official account is personally stepping in to force a science lesson! Where are the keyboard warriors who were just hurling insults? Come out and show yourselves!]

[The haters are lamenting the endangered plant's plight, while the authorities immediately label it an invasive alien species! This is a boomerang hit right on the head, stripping them bare!]

[They not only helped eradicate the pests, but also donated a million! They even handed over the coordinates of the secret realm free of charge! With this kind of generosity and influence, what can the haters possibly use to criticize them? Their cheap, low-quality press releases?]

Where are Chenhai PR's paid trolls? Can you please speed up the deletion of posts? My hands are cramping from clicking so many screenshots!

In the ward.

Long Shao gripped his phone tightly.

The PR director swallowed hard.

"Young Master... the trending topics are starting to backfire; the entire internet is investigating who bought the press releases..."

"withdraw!"

Long Shao grabbed his phone and smashed it against the opposite wall.

The screen shattered into pieces, with parts scattered all over the floor.

"Remove this trending topic! Delete the post immediately! Call Chenhai and tell them to delete all their accounts and wipe their names clean!"

The PR director felt rooted to the spot.

"We can't retreat...we can't retreat anymore."

On the tablet screen, processing receipts from various platforms are popping up in a queue.

Sample of bulk registration of online troll accounts.

Code analysis of duplicate copywriting library.

Abnormal propagation curve.

Chenhai Public Relations' order dispatch records.

Clues to overseas fund transfers.

"Several major platforms simultaneously received the complete underlying data evidence package, directly bypassing the review mechanism, and it has now been announced across the entire network."

The PR director's voice trembled with tears.

"The internal group chat at Chenhai has exploded. The person in charge just issued three statements in a row and is frantically trying to distance themselves from the situation."

Long Shao's chest heaved violently, his left hand gripping the bed sheet tightly.

"Who submitted the evidence?"

The PR director moved his lips for a long time before finally uttering two words.

"Chen Lang".

Long Shao grabbed a pillow and smashed it against the IV stand.

The metal frame collapsed with a crash, and glass shards mixed with medicine spilled all over the ground.

"A student who failed the college entrance exam! How does he have these things! How does he have them?!"

The only sound in the ward was his heavy breathing.

Inside a heavy-duty RV at the foot of Cangshan Mountain.

The rain outside the car window had not stopped, and the water flowed in a curtain.

On the main screen of the Titan intelligent system, the platform's final processing announcement popped up.

[Based on system-level data verification, the discussions surrounding "Chen Lang's destruction of the ecosystem" have revealed extremely serious instances of organized rumor-mongering, data fabrication, and malicious misleading.]

The platform has permanently banned 2847 overseas online troll accounts and 619 domestic accounts involved in coordinated rumor-mongering and marketing.

[All related illegal and fabricated content has been marked in red and retained. The platform has transferred the complete materials regarding Chenhai PR's suspected organization of an online troll army for illegal profit to the relevant departments.]

Immediately afterwards, Xingyao Interactive Entertainment's official blue V account released a statement consisting of only two sentences.

[Mr. Long's recent actions are entirely his personal matters and have no connection to our company. We firmly oppose any violations that disrupt the online environment and reserve the right to pursue legal action.]

Although the live stream wasn't open, this screenshot has already gone viral on various forums and gossip groups.

Last night: A righteous act of upholding environmental protection. Today: Mr. Long's personal actions are unrelated to the company.

[The speed at which capital is shifting blame is more punctual than my morning clock-in.]

[Chenhai PR: When the money is transferred to their account, they call us their strategic partners; when something goes wrong, they call the responsible parties.]

[Young Master Long's move is historic; he spent three million to buy himself a deluxe package of public humiliation across the entire internet.]
