Collection of Gods

Chapter 468 Coincidence or Man-made

The night falls, the moonlight is like water.

Zhang Mei was driving her Mercedes-Benz CLS on the main road in Yangcheng. She stared straight ahead, but Tang Yuan's words kept rolling in her mind.

"Buzz..."

Suddenly, Zhang Mei's phone rang. She looked at the caller ID on the eye control screen, and then pressed the call answer button on the steering wheel.

"Sister Mei!"

"good news!"

Zhang Mei listened to the excited voice coming from the other side of the phone. A little curiosity flashed in her eyes. As she drove, she asked the other party: "Liu Teng, what's the good news that makes you so excited?"

"Sister Mei, the article our studio published on Weibo this morning, after fermenting for a whole day, suddenly exploded just now, as if on drugs. It went from the 15th place on the hot search list. It shot directly to the top of the hot search list.”

"The number of likes, comments and forwards for our article has now exceeded 100,000, and it is still rising at an alarming rate. Based on this data, our studio is close to the third round of financing , it’s one step closer.”

"Sister Mei, you personally selected all the materials and topics for this article. I originally thought there was no market audience for such a topic, but I didn't expect the data to be so good. I really admire you now. To the point of prostrating yourself."

“Does this article deserve to be at the top of the trending list right now?”

"Um……"

"The heat suddenly started to surge. I don't know the specific reason. It's really a bit baffling."

Normally, when Zhang Mei heard that the article posted on her account went viral, her mood should be similar to Liu Teng's. However, after listening to Liu Teng's narration, Zhang Mei didn't feel the slightest joy and just said He pressed the brake to the end and stopped the car on the side of the road.

"About twenty minutes ago."

"squeak--!"

Twenty minutes, wasn't that the time she just walked out of the coffee shop?

Thinking of this, Tang Yuan's face couldn't help but appear in Zhang Mei's mind.

When Zhang Mei heard Liu Teng's answer, her pupils shrank instantly.

Or man-made?

“Do you think there’s something wrong with this article’s sudden popularity?”

Zhang Mei had a bad feeling in her heart, and she quickly asked Liu Teng.

Facing Zhang Mei's inquiry, Liu Teng, the deputy editor-in-chief, immediately started to explain eloquently, and at the end he did not forget to flatter him twice.

"Liu Teng, let me ask you."

As soon as she walked out of the coffee shop, this article started to heat her up. The time period can be said to be completely consistent.

On the other side of the phone, Liu Teng asked Zhang Mei with some confusion when he saw Zhang Mei was silent for a long time.

Is this a coincidence?

"Liu Teng, when did the popularity of our article start to skyrocket?"

“Have you seen what news is No. 2 on the trending list?”

"Sister Mei, what's wrong with you?"

Liu Teng first heard the sound of typing on the keyboard. After confirming the data, he replied to Zhang Mei.

"Wang Lepong just announced on his personal Weibo account that he will soon launch a global concert tour in 2019. Such news is ranked second, why do we occupy the top position?"

Zhang Mei lowered her head and answered in a deep voice while browsing the hot searches on Weibo.

If Zhang Mei was still a little lucky just now, then after reading the hot search list on Weibo, Zhang Mei has completely given up hope.

Wang Pi Pants announced the 2019 global concert tour, Ai Kun made his basketball debut in a variety show, Teacher Luo showed off his electric motor buttocks to female guests, Wu Qian confessed in a talk show that he has mental mysophobia...

Every hot-searched news item, picked out at random, would attract far more attention than the article published by their studio.

Obviously, someone bought the hot search for them. To be able to directly buy them from the 17th on the hot search list to the top of the hot search list, with such energy and means, it is difficult for the management behind her to achieve this level, not to mention that Zhang Mei does not have this ability. .

If it was really what the other party did...

If the other party still has evidence of the truth...

Thinking of this, Zhang Mei suddenly shuddered.

Zhang Mei knows the power of netizens all too well. It can send you to the clouds or send you to hell.

If the truth of this matter is really what the other party said, and the other party holds strong evidence to reveal the truth, then if this development trend continues, the more intense this matter will be, the more miserable her death will be when the truth is revealed. .

It was obviously the season of spring and flowers were blooming, but Zhang Mei felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave at this moment. The endless cold swept through her body and even made her tremble.

On the other side of the phone, Liu Teng also quickly came to his senses after Zhang Mei's prompting: "Sister Mei, do you mean that someone is deliberately promoting the popularity of this matter?"

"Liu Teng, are you still in the company?"

Zhang Mei no longer cared about explaining anything to Liu Teng. She asked Liu Teng directly.

"Here I am."

Liu Teng heard the urgency in Zhang Mei's words, and he quickly answered.

"Now you lead the people in the company to delete the article about the love between grandfather and grandson from all our accounts as quickly as possible, and then send out tomorrow's article in advance."

Zhang Mei took a deep breath, then turned the steering wheel and drove towards the Yangcheng International Financial Center again, while giving instructions quickly.

"what?"

"Delete them all?"

When Liu Teng heard this, he hesitated for a moment, and there was a little bit of pain in his words. It was obvious that he was reluctant to part with him.

"delete!"

"immediately!"

"immediately!"

Zhang Mei's tone suddenly became extremely harsh.

"Good good!"

"I'll organize my manpower immediately and start deleting accounts one by one!"

It had been a long time since Liu Teng had seen Zhang Mei angry. Now that he saw that Zhang Mei was about to go berserk, he immediately agreed without saying any more nonsense.

"Hurry up, I'm driving back to the company now."

After saying that, Zhang Mei hung up the phone.

As the phone was hung up, the car quickly returned to silence.

"Zhang Mei, before tomorrow morning, if you can publicly apologize to my sister and announce your permanent withdrawal from the news media industry, I can give you a chance to cash out and leave..."

In the silence, the words Tang Yuan said before she left started rolling in her mind again, but the difference was that a few minutes ago, she was a little scornful of Tang Yuan's words, feeling that Tang Yuan Bluffing.

But now, Zhang Mei did not dare to look down upon the other party any more. With just this move from the other party, Zhang Mei was a little overwhelmed, and could even be said to be very embarrassed.

Apologize?

Quitting the media industry permanently?

As soon as such an idea appeared in Zhang Mei's mind, she nipped it in the bud. Making her give up the career she had worked so hard for so many years would be even more uncomfortable than killing her.

Now, Zhang Mei seems to be a gambler. She is betting on the contents of Tang Yuan's revolver...

No bullets!
