Reborn: Billionaire in College

Just one day after Renren banned a large number of bad internet celebrities and bloggers, the money-grubber who committed murder and robbery actually released a statement on the campus network.

The general content of the statement is that she actually loved the man deeply, but the two spent less and less time together, and the feelings faded, so she proposed to break up. She thinks everyone has the right to freedom of emotion. And the gold digger said that she had returned 130,000 yuan after the incident. The implication is that the man committed suicide because he could not get the warmth of his family and was fragile. It was unreasonable, and she was also a victim. Now that she has suffered such online violence, she also wants to die.

At the end of the statement, she did not forget to DISS Renren.com, and thanked Xiaonei.com for giving her a voice channel, describing Renren.com as contributing to the trend of cyberbullying.

When Chen Pingjiang saw this statement, he burst out laughing.

I thought it was an apology statement, but I didn't expect to see a single "I'm sorry" in the whole article. It was all just an attempt to exonerate himself, attributing the death of others to bad mentality and family discord, without saying a word about his own problems. He even pushed the issue of his cheating away without even mentioning that he cheated money or feelings.

As expected, this statement not only did not receive the slightest bit of forgiveness, but was instead met with widespread abuse online.

Weibo and Renren have been constantly reporting that this gold digger had worked as a prostitute before, and a third and fourth person even came forward to testify that the gold digger was two-timing.

What’s interesting is that Renren deleted a lot of discordant comments because of its internet cleaning campaign, and some extreme feminists or people with distorted values ​​all went to the campus network and said sarcastic things.

Although Chen Yizhou feels there are risks, he thinks they are generally controllable and the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

He doesn't mind the campus network becoming a big melting pot. If it can have more traffic and topics, it is better than waiting to die.

At least for now, the campus network has caught up with the hot online events.

Chen Pingjiang could only describe this in one sentence: "You will suffer the consequences if you do evil."

If they really want traffic, they won't even care about the most basic mainstream values.

Chen Pingjiang naturally doesn't hate women.
As Chen Pingjiang expected, the matter continued to ferment over the next few days.

They occupied six or seven items on the hot search list, the related topics were viewed more than 2 billion times, and the average number of comments and reposts per person exceeded 10 million.

The incident was even spread to the Internet, and even foreigners joined in the condemnation.

Many people also started spontaneous memorial activities.

Basically, 99% of normal people, regardless of gender, regard the various social platforms under Renren as their base camp, while there are 1% of people who are not in their right mind on Xiaonei.

In such an environment of public outcry, Chen Pingjiang did not need to do anything. He just needed to guide public opinion a little bit, and gradually the topic began to turn to attacking the campus network.

"No wonder Xiaonei.com came out earlier than Renren.com, but ended up in the current state. Chen Pingjiang has become the richest man. I can only say that Xiaonei.com deserves its current state."

"It's a matter of perspective. People like this are doomed to fail, and sooner or later they will have to close down both inside and outside the school."

"Brothers, I have already reported it to the Cyberspace Administration of China."

"Reporting is useless. I think we should go to war. If the Emperor Bar goes to war, not a blade of grass will be left."

"That's right. Go to the campus network and start fighting. If you encounter people with incorrect values, educate them properly."

"..."

When the huge public opinion had an outlet, it was like a flood, and the campus network suffered a heavy loss for a while.

Chen Yizhou watched the data soaring in the background, his face began to turn slightly red with excitement. It had been a long time since he had seen such a scene.

"Mr. Chen, in just five hours, the number of registered users increased by 1.2 million. However, our server is a bit overwhelmed. In addition to normal access, we also encountered a large number of DDOS attacks."

Chen Yizhou thought for a moment and said, "No matter what, we must do everything we can to protect it. The server cannot crash. In addition, we must report directly to the leaders of the Cyberspace Administration of China that Renren.com is manipulating public opinion to attack our campus network. We will also issue an announcement ourselves."

When his subordinate Liu Yue heard this, he frowned, thinking that Chen Yizhou was playing with fire. "Boss Chen, isn't this a bad idea? Things have gotten so serious that it's hard to end well. Isn't this just adding fuel to the fire?"

"Are you scared? If you are, then get out. CampusNet only has one chance. If you lose this chance, you will have to close down sooner or later."

Supervisor Liu Yue sighed, and suddenly looked at Chen Yizhou with a strange look. He silently took off his work badge from his neck and threw it into the trash can.

Chen Yizhou looked back and saw the parabola of the work badge, and felt a sharp pain in his eyes.

He has no choice.

Along the way, he started several businesses but failed none of them. The one that showed the most signs of success, Xiaonei.com, could have been successfully listed but was repeatedly attacked by Renren.com, and its subsidiary Nuomi was also sold to Baidu.

If Xiaonei.com doesn't seize this opportunity, Chen Yizhou will have no future.

SoftBank invested 3-4 million US dollars. Can they be forgiven if it goes to waste?
Personal safety is definitely not a problem, but it will be impossible to make a comeback in this life, and you may even have to hide abroad.

Chen Yizhou was unwilling to give up, as he was only one step away from reaching the top of the mountain.

Fortunately... I thought I had no chance, but I didn't expect to encounter such a public opinion event. If I don't fight, am I just waiting to die?

Anyway, in Chen Yizhou's view, Xiaonei.com is just a platform. At least so far, these bad bloggers have not been prosecuted, and there has been no clear order from the higher authorities to ban them.

If that’s the case, these people are fine at the moment, so isn’t it reasonable to give them a platform to speak out?
Even though he might be criticized for this, Chen Yizhou doesn't care.

Although Chen Yizhou was very sure that this incident would not cause any substantial damage to Renren, it would at least help boost the data of his own campus network.

Liu Yue, who had just thrown away his work ID, returned to his office with a gloomy face, packed up his things and was about to leave.

His subordinates came over and asked, "Boss, we just heard about it."

"Oh? Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles. You all know about me when I just left the HR department?" Liu Yue smiled bitterly and spread his hands. "I can't stay in this company anymore. Our values ​​don't match. It's a pity that it's been five or six years since Oak Pacific was founded. I'm actually a little reluctant to leave. Of course, the main reason is that I can't bear to leave you."

"Hey, what's the big deal? Let's go together. I can't stay in this crappy company any longer. Last year, the company's performance was not good, so my year-end bonus was reduced by half. My wife thought I took the money and went out to have a good time."

"Yes, Master, I don't want to do this anymore. This world is too dangerous. I want to go back to the countryside."

"Since everyone is leaving, there's no way I can stay in this crappy place alone."

"..."

Liu Yue stared at his brothers in his department, his eyes suddenly reddened, and he quickly reached out and pressed: "You can talk and make a fuss, but don't be impulsive. You are different from me. I have also made a lot of money over the years. You have families to support. For example, Xiao Li, you are about to get married. If you resign at this time, what will your girlfriend think of you? Listen to me, if you really want to leave, wait for me to go out and try my luck. After I find a good place, I will take everyone with me."

An employee wearing glasses did not give the supervisor a chance to continue speaking. He picked up his laptop and showed it to the supervisor, grinning, "Boss, it's too late."

On the screen, there was a post posted on the campus network.

"Our project team has taken the initiative to resign from Xiaonei today and cut ties with such a disgusting company. It is everyone's responsibility to purify the Internet atmosphere."

It was done. There was a photo next to it, and every person in the department was included in it.

Liu Yue shook his head speechlessly: "Well, what else is there to say? Let's go together."

What they did was really ruthless. When something like this happens, you have to leave even if you don't want to.

…………

After seeing the public statement on the campus network, Chen Pingjiang felt that Chen Yizhou was simply possessed.

The statement has the following points:
1. Xiaonei.com is an open and inclusive platform that can accept different voices and opinions. The world is big and has room for you and me.

2. Xiaonei.com will not arbitrarily block platform users, as this goes against corporate values ​​and relevant regulations.

3. We advise platform users to leave comments rationally. (Bad comments will be deleted by the platform.)
4. We do not approve of the malicious exclusion and one-size-fits-all practices of certain friendly competitors and will resort to legal means to resolve the issue.

The statement was not long and did not mention Chen Pingjiang and Renren Group anywhere, but even a blind person could tell who it was targeting.

"Wow, Chen Yizhou really understands the essence of the saying 'black and red are also red'." Chen Pingjiang couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

Since you are so tough, be prepared to be attacked.

As soon as the statement came out, it completely ignited the anger of the majority of users.

The two gangs were fighting and arguing with each other.

The staff at the backend of the campus network were too late to delete the post.

At the same time, Chen Pingjiang also received an inquiry call from the Cyberspace Administration of China.

Chen Pingjiang simply evaded the question with one sentence: "It is the spontaneous behavior of netizens and has nothing to do with me."

Just kidding, it has nothing to do with me.

Xiaonei.com is holding a lantern in the toilet - it is looking for death, why should I pay for it?
Why didn’t netizens go to other platforms but only to Xiaonei? The Cyberspace Administration of China probably thought it was nonsense and didn’t dare to ask further.

Some Internet giants are well aware of the situation and have remained silent quite rationally, but they do express their opinions in small circles.

"This incident has become a bit of a fuss. Chen Pingjiang has gone too far. The proposal has good intentions, but it is not what a company should do. If anything should be done, it should be done by the government."

"Yes, they are young people after all. They have status and money, so they can't keep calm and want to gain some fame. Little do they know that the first bird to stick its head out will be shot. They control social platforms and self-media. This is a force that cannot be ignored. The official will be nervous when they see it."

"How do you think it will end?" someone asked.

"It will probably not be long before the relevant departments come out to cool down the situation, and both sides will be punished, but the influence of this incident will definitely not pass. Chen Pingjiang will probably have to keep a low profile for a long time in the future."

"Why does he do this? It's none of his business." Someone sighed.

"Who knows? To gain fame? I can't think of any other possibilities. I have no shortage of money or status."

At this time, someone chuckled: "You all underestimate Mr. Chen Pingjiang. Don't use your inherent mediocrity to judge him. You people only think about making profits when running a business, and always have an attitude of 'everyone cleans the snow in front of their own door, and does not care about the frost on other people's roofs'. Little do you know that young people are energetic, have a sense of social responsibility, and dare to say no to the bad social atmosphere. This is precious. Doesn't he know what the consequences of doing so may be? I think he knows, but he still did it. Haha, I don't have his courage, and of course I don't have that energy. But such people are worthy of being called entrepreneurs. In comparison, we can only be called businessmen at best."

"..."

When many netizens were flooding the campus network, many of them saw the resignation photo and the accompanying text on the campus network.

Netizens' emotions once again found an outlet.

This topic immediately became a hot topic.

"A department of Xiaonei.com resigned en masse to protest the company's inaction."

For a time, this resignation post on the campus network received a lot of likes, reposts and comments, and the comment section was full of support.

Some people who are curious about things went straight back to Weibo and Renren and @ed everyone they could.

"@Renren@Weibo Xiaoguanjia@Renren CEO Li Xi@Mr. Chen, it's time for you to step in. Why don't you recruit such a good team immediately?"

"That's right, don't let the blood of those who still have passion in their hearts cool down."

"As long as Renren accepts the brothers in this department, I will only use Renren's network products in the future."

"Xiaonei.com has been deserted by its friends and family. Such people with lofty ideals should not be abandoned by society."

"Renren and Mr. Chen, if you don't follow my instructions, I will look down on you!"

"The latest news is that the campus network has taken action and deleted the resignation post."

"Xiaonei.com is such a shit, haha, they also said Renren.com randomly deleted posts, what's the difference between them?"

"Of course there is a difference. One is righteous and the other is evil."

"..."

After a barrage of criticism, Chen Pingjiang and Renren Weibo updated their accounts at the same time not long after.

Mr. Chen: Don't worry, I have sent someone to contact them. The 1.5 times salary will not discourage passionate people and will also put everyone at ease.

There are a lot of comments below: "Only 1.5 times, haha, I despise you, it should be at least 3 times."

"Please, don't be so stupid, 1.5 times is already very strong, what do other Renren employees think if it's 3 times?"

On the other hand, Renren Weibo also published a picture and text: "The HR of our Beijing branch has found the head of this department and is in negotiation."

The caption was a photo of a dozen people from Renren's HR team and a team that had just resigned from Xiaonei.com, all showing the thumbs-up sign and smiling.

As a result, the majority of netizens were happy. Renren pampers its fans and knows how to attract traffic, and its actions are really fast.

----

After completing the resignation procedures one by one, the department that resigned from the campus network walked out of the headquarters building of Oak Pacific Group, each holding a box.

After coming out, department manager Liu Yue took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, looking at the sunny weather outside and feeling his body being warmed by the sun.

"Come on, I'll treat you today, let's go find a place to have a drink first, and we won't leave until we're drunk. We can talk about tomorrow's affairs tomorrow."

"What to eat? Hot pot? BBQ? Or a restaurant?"

"What's the point of eating hot pot and barbecue? It's expensive and not tasty. Now we have no food to eat after the last meal. Haha, let's save some money for the boss."

"Let's go to a food stall. Four or five hundred yuan is enough for a dozen people with drinks. And we can all pay for the meal together."

Liu Yue pretended to be unhappy and said with a straight face: "Why, now that you've resigned, you don't care about me anymore? I said I'll pay the bill, so I'll pay the bill, and no one is allowed to snatch it."

Qiu Jihe, who posted his resignation photo online, was shocked when he checked his phone. How come his post became popular in less than two hours, just the time it took to complete the formalities?
"Look, I just uploaded the resignation photo we took to the campus network. I didn't expect it to go viral."

Upon hearing this, everyone took out their mobile phones and logged into the campus network.

My heart warmed when I saw the comments expressing support and solidarity.

The grievances in my heart and the haze in my mind were swept away, replaced by a warm feeling all over my body.

Don’t worry about having no friends on the road ahead!
The group chatted and laughed as they walked, and soon they arrived at a small alley next to the campus network headquarters.

"Boss, give us a table of food according to our number, and two boxes of beer." Liu Yue waved his hand.

The boss also knew these regular customers. He brought two boxes of beer over with his rough hands and asked with a smile, "Why are you all carrying boxes?"

“Because I lost my job.”

"Now that you're unemployed, no one will come to take care of your business."

The boss smiled awkwardly: "It's okay, it's okay, come often when you have the chance."

The group of people quickly opened bottles of beer, but when they were halfway through, they saw a man and two women walking towards them with briefcases in hand, with relieved smiles on their faces as they walked.

"Excuse me, which one of you is Manager Liu Yue?" the leading man asked with a smile.

Liu Yue looked at the newcomer in confusion: "It's me. Where are you from?"

"Hello, hello." The man came up to shake hands quickly. "I am the HR director of Renren Beijing Branch. These two are my colleagues. We received a request from Mr. Chen to invite all of your department to join us. The salary will be 1.5 times the previous one. Other benefits such as meal allowance, transportation allowance, rent subsidy and stock options are the same as other Renren employees."

Liu Yue thought he was dreaming, and hesitantly took the man's extended right hand and shook it: "Are you kidding? How did you find us so quickly?"

"Is this a joke? You can check out our CEO Chen's Weibo yourself. As for how to find yours, that's even easier. It's a post from Qiu Jihe. We can just send a private message on the campus network asking for his contact information and we'll know it, right?" The director of Renren blinked and said with a smile.

Suddenly, more than a dozen pairs of eyes looked towards Qiu Jihe, who had posted the resignation post earlier. Qiu Jihe scratched his head cheerfully and said, "Don't thank me. I didn't expect a resignation post to vent dissatisfaction would attract so much attention."

"Haha, good boy, you are really amazing." A group of people rushed over and tried to touch Qiu Jihe's head.

The director of Renren looked at Liu Yue and asked, "Would you like to join Renren Group and become colleagues?"

"Yes, of course. Only a fool would not want to. We are homeless and jobless. It's great that Renren is willing to take us in."

"Renren is great. I wanted to go to Renren when I graduated, but I wasn't accepted so I went to Xiaonei. I didn't expect this to be a blessing in disguise."

“I can’t wait to start working.”

"Director, are we going to work in Dongjiang or the Beijing branch in the future?"

"..."

Everyone was talking at once and almost surrounded the director.

"Don't worry, answer the questions one by one. Let's take a photo together first. In addition, Qiu Jihe's resignation post has been deleted by the campus network, and your accounts have been blocked."

Liu Yue didn't care: "It's fine if I block it, it's just because I feel guilty."

Others couldn't wait to spit: "That's right, you say one thing and do another."

After a while, a group photo of everyone raising their thumbs was taken and uploaded to Weibo. (End of this chapter)
