I was exposed for adding my female boss to my group of female friends.

Nobody had ever heard of it.

That's normal, because when Luan Qingying was looking for promotion, she used the most basic method: directly connecting with content creators.

He personally selects content creators in his field, contacts those with good writing skills and creative ideas, and doesn't use MCNs to assign tasks at all.

As a result, many MCNs naturally do not recognize the company Beichen.

Next, a second message was secretly sent to some MCNs. This message is familiar to everyone—"Give me a good dose of hate for 'Sheep and the Sheep'."

……

"Something terrible has happened, Brother Ya."

Luan Qingying jogged over and handed her phone to Chen Ya: "Someone is relentlessly attacking our 'Sheep' magazine."

"Don't be nervous, speak slowly," Chen Ya said.

Luan Qingying pointed at her phone and said, "The WeChat official account 'I Love Mobile Games,' which I contacted before, published an article saying that our 'Sheep is a trash game and cannot be completed."

Chen Ya took the phone and glanced at it. Luan Qingying continued speaking quickly in English:

"The comments below quickly flooded in with a large number of people following suit, clearly manipulated by paid trolls. How could there be so many comments when this article was just published?"

Chen Ya put down his phone.

Gu Yuqing frowned and sighed, "It was probably done by the Seven Stars of Donghuang. You refused too decisively and angered Cai Zhenyi."

Cai Zhenyi appears to be in his prime and has a dignified bearing, but in reality, he is narrow-minded. Gu Yuqing has dealt with him for so long, so she naturally knows his character.

Chen Ya crossed his arms and thought for a while.

When he heard that some people were collectively criticizing "Sheep and the Sheep," he almost burst out laughing.

Does "The Sheep" even need to be criticized?

"Brother Ya, what should we do?" Luan Qingying's face was covered in sweat, and she was a little anxious.

"Don't worry about it," Chen Ya said.

"what?"

“I told you not to worry about it,” Chen Ya said. “Let them do whatever they want.”

“But… wouldn’t that be bad for our game?” Luan Qingying said.

“If they don’t criticize, the players themselves will,” Chen Ya said. “This public account obviously hasn’t found the right target to criticize. Don’t worry, it’s fine.”

"Oh." Luan Qingying was still a little skeptical.

After he left, Gu Yuqing pinched the flesh on Chen Ya's stomach, leaned close to his ear, and whispered:

"Are you really not going to take any countermeasures?"

Gu Yuqing's breath was sweet and fragrant, making people's ears itch. And the fingers that were pinching his own flesh were naturally because he was too calm, which made Gu Yuqing want to punch him again.

“No need,” Chen Ya said. “Besides, I can’t do anything to retaliate; the company’s accounts are empty.”

Thinking about this, Gu Yuqing couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

We're out of ammo, what's the point of fighting?

Chen Ya stretched and stood up, saying, "The next two days will be the peak period for game data, so there's no point in keeping an eye on it today. Let's go out for a meal first."

Gu Yuqing stretched out her long legs, which were covered in black stockings, and rubbed her slightly sore muscles with her hands, scolding, "You're really carefree."

"It's just average in size."

……

Chen Ya drove Gu Yuqing to a club for a private meal. Gu Yuqing then said she wanted to go for a drive, so he drove her to the outskirts of Beijing.

As they ran, the two passed by the bar where Chen Ya had escorted Gu Yuqing. Gu Yuqing insisted on getting off to take a look.

It was only afternoon, and the sun was blazing. There were hardly any people in the bar. The two walked around inside for a bit and then came out. Suddenly, a voice rang out behind Chen Ya.

"Chen Ya?"

Chen Ya turned around and saw a tall, thin girl with heavy makeup, black lipstick, and pink-streaked hair.

"You are that... Zuo Pingping?" Chen Ya recalled the person's name.

This girl was the one Yi Yangbing brought to the bar to help him.

It was obvious at the time that she really liked Yi Yangbing; she was practically the rare type of simp.

Unexpectedly, I ran into her again in this kind of situation.

Zuo Pingping walked over quickly, her expression seemingly showing some excitement:

"I've been looking for you."

After confirming that they were talking about him, Chen Ya raised his eyebrows slightly: "Looking for me?"

“Yes, I was looking for you.” After saying that, Zuo Pingping was already standing in front of Chen Ya. She took a deep breath and said, “Thank you.”

"What are you thanking me for?" Chen Ya was completely confused.

Gu Yuqing, standing beside him, stared at Chen Ya's face with suspicion.

She drank too much that night. Could something have happened between the two of them?

"Yes," Zuo Pingping nodded, her expression completely different from the hot girl she was back then, showing a hint of naivety. "You took me to the hotel, right?"

Chen Ya thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes, it seems that's true."

He had a car full of girls at the time: Gu Yuqing, Wu Qiutong, Lu Aiai, and another one. He probably didn't have room at home, and he wasn't into NTR, so he booked a room and carried this girl inside.

"That's why I wanted to thank you for this." Zuo Pingping blinked a few times, her eyes, heavily made up with eyeshadow, appearing very large.

"At the time, I was still somewhat conscious. I felt that after you put me on the hotel bed, you covered me with a blanket and helped me adjust my sleeping position. I felt that you were very considerate," she continued.

Gu Yuqing frowned and couldn't help but stand a little closer to Chen Ya.

She felt uneasy, fearing that she might hear Zuo Pingping say what else the two of them had done in bed.

"Oh, you're welcome..."

Chen Ya felt a little awkward. He didn't know this girl at all, so he naturally didn't know what to talk about.

"Because I didn't have your contact information, I've been going to this bar a lot these past few days, hoping to see you again. Luckily, I ran into you today. I'm going back to Jinxi tomorrow!"

Chen Ya couldn't help but ask, "Where is your... companion, Yi Yangbing?"

Zuo Pingping tidied her hair and said, "I broke up with him, and I haven't been with him for a while."

"Hmm." Chen Ya nodded awkwardly again.

After a moment of silence, Zuo Pingping took out her phone:

"Let's add each other on WeChat."

Chen Ya also took out his phone.

"You scan me, I scan you" is probably the best way for modern people to resolve awkward situations; any words can be left to be said privately online.

"Ahem." Gu Yuqing coughed lightly twice, then walked discreetly to Chen Ya's side and whispered, "Do we still need to add each other on WeChat? Should we?"

Even Zuo Pingping could hear the sourness in her tone.

"President Gu, have you and Chen Ya started talking yet?" Zuo Pingping asked with a smile.

Gu Yuqing reached out and took Chen Ya's arm, blinking her eyes: "Guess?"

Zuo Pingping glanced at her, then at Chen Ya's slightly stiff body, and smiled, "Looks like we haven't even started talking yet."

Gu Yuqing also stiffened, her expression awkward.

The woman was a bit smarter than she thought; she wasn't fooled.

Zuo Pingping said, "I thought you two would definitely start dating. I felt you two were quite compatible when we were playing games at the bar that day."

Gu Yuqing couldn't help but ask, "Do you think so too?"

Only after asking the question did she realize that she had revealed a crucial piece of information, and she couldn't help but blush, looking quite beautiful.

“I think so too,” Zuo Pingping answered honestly. “Then I’m leaving. I wish you two a good, uh, good ending.”

After saying that, Zuo Pingping turned and left.

Gu Yuqing was guarding her food, and anyone with eyes could see that, so Zuo Pingping naturally didn't need to make a fool of herself.

She originally wanted to chat with Chen Ya a little longer.

Despite trying to appear nonchalant, she couldn't help but feel a little downcast, a little sad, and a little jealous.

So much so that it looked like a dog.

She was jealous, jealous of Gu Yuqing's freedom to do as she pleased, jealous that she could openly like someone.

Once Zuo Pingping had completely disappeared from sight, Gu Yuqing coughed twice and kicked Chen Ya.

Am I in the way?

"Huh?" Chen Ya turned his head and asked.

"I wish I weren't here, right?" Gu Yuqing said in a very feminine way, "The peach blossoms suddenly bloomed, and fate suddenly came."

“No, no, that’s not true,” Chen Ya quickly denied. “I think we’re more compatible.”

If these words had been said in any other context, Gu Yuqing would have been overjoyed, but saying them now only made her furious and embarrassed—she felt that Chen Ya was mocking her for accidentally letting something slip earlier.

Gu Yuqing turned and left, and Chen Ya hurriedly chased after her.

After catching up, Chen Ya's words made Gu Yuqing even angrier: "I thought you were the kind of mature woman who wouldn't throw a tantrum."

"Now you think I'm immature, huh?" Gu Yuqing rolled her eyes. "Let me tell you, I'm immature in many ways, and you'll have to put up with me if you deal with me!"

Chen Ya couldn't help but look down at her. Her breasts were full of ripe fruit, almost bending the branches. She swallowed and said, "Indeed, then I'll bear with it."

"You'd better be the kind of person I'm talking about who's going to be patient."

……

That evening, Chen Ya drove to a place on the outskirts of Beijing where a neighboring province bordered the city. There was a large wheat field there, with sparse woods in the distance.

Far from the light pollution of the city, and with streetlights not being common, it's pitch black, but that makes the stars in the sky even more dazzling.

He opened the sunroof of the car, lowered the seats, and the two of them lay down in the car, one on each side. The south wind blew through the car window and through the two of them, making them feel extremely comfortable.

“I’ve had enough of relaxing, and I’m much more emotionally stable now,” Gu Yuqing said. “You should tell me why I’m not worried about the Seven Stars of Donghuang targeting me at all. Surely we’re not just giving up?”

“There’s nothing to worry about,” Chen Ya said. “I’ve said before that we’re doing private traffic, so no matter how many smear articles he publishes in the public domain, it won’t have any impact.”

Gu Yuqing blinked and said, "Can I say that I didn't understand the logic behind this?"

"Sure, being a little clumsy is kind of cute."

Gu Yuqing reached out and pinched the flesh on Chen Ya's arm.

"I was wrong. I admit I was too arrogant just now."

"Then explain it more clearly."

“Let me give you an example,” Chen Ya said. “If your relatives or friends send you a link to ‘Sheep and the Sheep,’ and after you play it, you suddenly see negative articles about ‘Sheep and the Sheep,’ what would you think?”

Gu Yuqing looked a little dazed: "What would I think?"

“You’ll think, ‘That’s so damn true,’” Chen Ya said. “Then you might post this smear article to your friends who play ‘Sheep and the Sheep’ or on your WeChat Moments.”

“That’s right,” Gu Yuqing agreed.

“In this way, the game’s private traffic pool has expanded again,” Chen Ya said. “It doesn’t matter if he criticizes ‘Sheep’s Goat ...

Chen Ya continued to explain: "Many people who didn't know about this game before may learn about 'Sheep and the Sheep' through this smear article, which actually increases the game's awareness."

Gu Yuqing frowned and asked, "But even if someone knows about this game, it doesn't mean they have to play it, right?"

“Yes, but that’s because the game’s private traffic hasn’t expanded yet,” Chen Ya said. “If you only hear ‘Sheep, Sheep,’ you won’t think much of it. But if you hear it repeatedly, and people around you keep mentioning it, what would you think?”

Gu Yuqing thought for a moment and said, "I'll be very curious."

“Yes, you’ll be curious,” Chen Ya said. “That’s the secret of private domain traffic; you’ll be curious about what the people around you are doing.”

Gu Yuqing looked at the stars in the sky: "So, no matter what the opponent does, in your opinion, the game's revenue will always explode?"

"Yes, its momentum is already established. Neither the Seven Stars of the East nor the collapse of mountains and the cracking of the earth can stop the game from becoming a hit."
