From humble beginnings to the pinnacle of life

Listening to what they said, I could stand in their shoes and empathize with them.

I was too lazy to type anymore, so I just said it directly:

"I understand. You are all ordinary people and have no resources to go head-to-head with a financial tycoon like Fang Heng."

"But times have changed. He has the money to hire PR to control the narrative, but online buzz can spread in a second. As long as your live stream reveals something that goes viral, all the popular bloggers and gossip accounts on the internet will follow suit and try to ride the wave. The buzz is simply uncontrollable."

"Moreover, this matter is entirely beneficial to you. The victimized streamer's revelation will easily garner public sympathy and actually increase your live stream's followers and traffic."

"Once public opinion takes hold, regulatory authorities will definitely intervene and investigate. Do you think that unfair and monopolistic contract is still valid?"

After he finished speaking, the group fell silent instantly, and no one spoke again.

I know they still harbor resentment and don't believe me, since they've never met me.

I decided to reveal my hand outright and said:

"I know you're still hesitant and curious why I'm helping you for free. Let me be frank, I'm not a good person, and I certainly won't help people out of kindness."

"The reason I took the lead in doing this is purely because I have a mortal feud with Fang Heng. He used malicious means to target me and cut off my path to survival, so I was just retaliating. Helping you get out of trouble was just a side effect; we were originally just helping each other out."

Upon hearing this, An Ran immediately asked, "Boss, what exactly is your identity? Are you capable of standing up to Fang Heng?"

"It's just doing some business; identity doesn't matter," I replied casually.

At this crucial moment, Qiqi suddenly said, "Sisters, this boss is definitely powerful. We met at noon, and when he left, he was picked up by a BMW i8 sports car."

That's why I suddenly asked Su Qing to come over; I need to show them my strength.

No matter how eloquent the words are, they are not as convincing as the addition of a luxury car.

These girls have been in the industry for years and understand the power dynamics within it best. Only when they display their wealth do they dare to lower their guard.

As expected, after Qi Qi said that, An Ran was the first to speak up, saying, "Since you have the strength to back us up, then we'll follow your arrangements. What exactly do we need to do?"

"It's very simple. You all choose a time when the number of viewers in the live stream is the highest. During the live stream, you don't need to say much. Just focus on the key points: being cheated by the contract, being exploited by the company, having your salary deducted, and being forced to work. The more tragic and real your experiences are, the better."

After I finished speaking, I added, "Remember two things: First, you must clearly state the full name of Xingyao Media during the live broadcast; second, try to release the information at the same time to concentrate your efforts and double the buzz."

A girl with the online name "Baby Adult" hesitated and asked, "I have one last concern. What if the company's operations get out of control and they retaliate against us behind our backs? We girls are powerless to fight back."

I casually sent a disdainful, sneer emoji to the group chat and said, "They dare to make a move?"

"The live stream will be broadcast to the entire internet. If the management dares to take action on the spot, you should immediately take out your phones and broadcast live, directly exposing the company's coercion of artists and violent assault."

"The entire internet is watching. If anyone dares to make a move, Fang Heng's entire company will be finished. Nobody dares to take that risk."

This statement gave them confidence, and Qiqi immediately expressed her stance:

"I agree! I've had enough of this for the past six months. The company forces me to stay up all night doing live streams and filming vulgar videos. I'm exhausted, and the pay is less than what I'd earn working in a factory. I can't take it anymore!"

An Ran echoed, "I agree. They tricked us into joining with high salaries even with zero experience, but it turned out to be a complete scam. This is our way of saving ourselves, and it's only right."

With two people taking the lead, the remaining streamers did not hesitate and successively sent out agreement emojis in the group, forming a united front.

Ultimately, these girls had already suffered immense exploitation; all they needed was someone to lead them out of this predicament.

After they all expressed their opinions, I said, "There's one last thing. Please let me know before you go live. I'll have someone record a segment of the live stream, and I'll handle any subsequent public opinion reactions."

Qiqi immediately replied, "How about premiering it during prime time tonight?"

"Sure, just let me know in the group before the live stream."

An Ran continued, "Boss, if you can really get this done and restore our freedom, we will all owe you a favor."

"Let's not talk about personal relationships for now, just keep it a secret. You guys handle the details privately."

I put away my phone, leaned back on the seat at the station, and started planning my next steps.

To maximize the impact of a live-streamed exposé and control public opinion, it's essential to hire a professional public opinion manager.

But I don't know anyone in this field, and I'm still thinking about it.

Two steady braking sounds suddenly came from the station entrance.

I didn't pay any attention to it, assuming it was just a vehicle used for sending or receiving packages.

But the next second, two official vehicles with law enforcement markings came to a steady stop in front of the store.

As the car door opened, several staff members in uniform walked briskly towards the courier store.

Seeing this, her cousin, who was sorting packages nearby, paused and quickly asked, "Yezi, what... what's going on? Why are law enforcement officers here?"

I looked up and my brows furrowed.

Judging from their uniforms, they belong to two departments.

One group consisted of market regulators, and the other group consisted of fire safety inspectors.

After entering the store, the group immediately presented their law enforcement credentials and stated in an official tone:

"We have received a report from a named person alleging that our courier station is operating without a license, has substandard fire safety facilities, and has disorganized entry and exit records. We are now conducting a surprise inspection in accordance with the law. All staff members have been suspended from work to cooperate with the investigation."

As soon as he finished speaking, my cousin panicked and didn't know what to do.

"Ye-Ye-zi, how could someone report us? We just took over the site and haven't done anything wrong!"

My heart skipped a beat; something was definitely wrong with what was happening!

But now is not the time to think about these things, so I quickly stepped forward and said:

"Comrade, we're operating legally, we haven't violated any regulations! Are you sure there's no mistake?"

No one paid any attention to me, and the staff quickly divided up the tasks.

Some people checked business licenses and courier service permits, some checked fire-fighting equipment and safety exits, and some checked daily ledgers and income and expenditure records.

The entire process was professional and fast, clearly indicating a precise and targeted inspection.

I've only been in charge of this courier station for two days, and so many things have already happened.

Yesterday, a few thugs came to cause trouble, but today several law enforcement officers have actually come.

And they said they received a report!

I immediately turned to look at Yang Hao, who was standing to the side looking completely bewildered, and asked, "Have you guys encountered anything like this before?"

Yang Hao shook his head vigorously: "No, never before, and with such a large-scale operation..."

Upon hearing Yang Hao's words, I immediately let out a cold laugh.

Without a doubt, this is definitely Fang Heng's doing again!

They previously sent thugs to cause trouble at my door, which was a low-level, unsavory tactic. To put it bluntly, it was just provoking trouble, and they couldn't possibly destroy me.

Seeing that his crooked approach was not working, he directly changed tactics, using his connections and resources to suppress me severely by leveraging industry rules.

This person is relentless; he's determined to drive me to the brink of despair!
