Chapter 27: The Crisis of Cyberbullying
Jiang Jin looked at Wu Qingya with a hint of eagerness and said softly, "Qingya, when do you think we should spar again?"
Wu Qingya was stunned for a moment, then wore a playful expression. "The sky has cleared and the rain has stopped; do you think you can stand again?"
While her words weren't particularly damaging, they were incredibly insulting! Jiang Jin felt it was necessary to have a deep conversation with Wu Qingya to let her know that one should never tell a man he isn't capable.
"I feel like I'm more than capable now, so do you dare to spar with me?" Jiang Jin exhaled a breath of frustration and sneered.
Wu Qingya frowned slightly and replied softly, "The time was too short; you surely haven't made much progress. If you really want to defeat me, I can find a master to teach you."
Blind man, you’ve discovered the crux of the issue again! To lose to Jiang Jin, Wu Qingya was even willing to find him a master—just how much did this beautiful bodyguard want to go on a date with him?
Faced with her suggestion, Jiang Jin remained unmoved and said confidently, "There's no need for a master. I am a genius; I can defeat you using consciousness training methods."
"Consciousness training can't develop internal..." Wu Qingya quickly shut her mouth and glanced meaningfully at Zhao Yueyuan, who was standing to the side.
Seeing this, Jiang Jin became even more curious and pressed, "Why?"
Wu Qingya hesitated for a moment before finally shaking her head lightly: "It's nothing. I'll tell you in detail when I have time."
Could the beautiful bodyguard have been about to say "internal energy"? Could it be that she had also developed internal energy? I must find a way to test the depths of her abilities!
Meanwhile, a scoop regarding Supernova Special Materials Co., Ltd. suddenly appeared on the internet.
"Spicy Ball": "Just received some explosive news! This is truly, truly explosive! Before I announce it, let me provide some background. The predecessor of Supernova Special Materials Co., Ltd. was Dongshi Special Materials Co., Ltd., which primarily produced heat-resistant glass and alumina ceramic plates; it had nothing to do with carbon fiber. Seven days after Jiang Jin acquired it, he claimed they could mass-produce T1100-grade carbon fiber, after which Dean Liu Zhi led a team of experts from the Longke Academy to assist with the inspection. With the backing of the Longke Academy, domestic companies related to carbon fiber rushed to seek partnerships. Do you know what requirements Supernova gave? 'You can place an order, but pay a 30% deposit first, and we cannot guarantee delivery times.' Let me ask you all: isn't this demand absurd? Yet, since domestic companies couldn't buy T1100-grade carbon fiber anywhere else, they had to agree to these absurd terms to survive. What surprised the major corporations even more was that Supernova Special Materials Co., Ltd. just announced that their annual production capacity for T1100-grade carbon fiber has increased to 3,600 tons! Going from 360 tons to 3,600 tons in one jump—isn't that explosive? Let me do the math for you: the price of T1100-grade carbon fiber is 1,500 Long currency/kg. Based on a 30% deposit, the deposit for 3,600 tons would be 1.62 billion Long currency! A company that had never produced carbon fiber before not only managed to produce T1100-grade carbon fiber after changing owners but also increased its annual capacity to 3,600 tons, surpassing the industry leader, Japan's Ridong Company. More importantly, its selling price is 25% lower than its peers!
When you connect this information to the '30% deposit' requirement... it’s terrifying to think about! Alright, my scoop is done. You can think about the rest yourselves. The water here is too deep; I dare not say more. I’m out!"
After this post was published on Weibo, it immediately attracted the attention of numerous netizens.
"Holy crap, I actually read this long post word for word, and it’s truly terrifying!"
"Supernova Special Materials Co., Ltd. is committing fraud and scamming money, and the Longke Academy didn't notice? Damn, the water really is too deep!"
"My god! It's the year 1202 and things like this still happen? This guy named Jiang Jin is just too brazen!"
"I thought it was strange before—Long Country couldn't even mass-produce T1000-grade carbon fiber, so how did a company that can produce T1100-grade carbon fiber suddenly pop up? So it was fraud, but I didn't expect the Longke Academy to be deceived too."
"Damn, if it really is fraud, then we've truly lost face internationally!"
"Little Pinks, come and take a look; this is the company you were hyping up!"
The "Long-haters" were frantically stirring the pot under the post. Even worse, Xue Ting's fans swarmed in like flies smelling blood, frantically commenting and reposting.
"I knew Jiang Jin wasn't a good person!"
"Those who oppose Tingting never end well!"
"We must investigate and punish this company that brings shame to the Long Country!"
Soon, the hashtag #SupernovaSpecialMaterialsCoLtdFraud# climbed to the top of the Weibo trending list.
At the same time, another influencer with millions of followers, "What's the Dirt Today," posted: "Oh my god, a top student from Shuimu University actually also..."
[Anonymous] "Dirt-King, I am a student in the 21st class of the School of Economics and Management at Shuimu University. I have a scoop. A classmate of mine joined Supernova Special Materials Co., Ltd. as a Board Secretary after graduation with an annual salary of 1 million. She received a 50% advance on her salary upon joining and gets a 10% raise every year. Some classmates say she has been kept by the boss of Supernova. Please censor my identity; I don't want to be recognized."
"Holy crap, Jiang Jin is actually keeping a Shuimu campus beauty?!"
"The thing I hate most in my life is old men who keep college students!"
As the incident fermented, #ShuimuCampusBeauty# trended, and soon after, some of Liu Sisi's personal information was leaked online. Just as these two exposés intensified, several more unfavorable leaks about Jiang Jin appeared.
"Just received a fan submission: Jiang Jin, the boss of Supernova Special Materials Co., Ltd., has previously made sexist remarks."
Jiang Jin: "Beauty, I was deeply infatuated with you the first time I saw you at the bar. Tell me, how much would it take to take you out?"
WillowLeafCurved: "??? Do you think money is everything?"
Jiang Jin: "Isn't it? My time is precious, and I don't want to waste words. 100,000 Long currency, come out and have a drink with me."
WillowLeafCurved: "Sorry, I'm not short on money, and even if I were, I wouldn't accept your invitation."
Jiang Jin: "200,000, and that's my final offer, because that's all you're worth."
WillowLeafCurved: "You're a psychopath!"
There were many such leaks, all posted by marketing accounts and influencers.
"Oh my god, how can such a disgusting man exist in this world?"
"And this disgusting man wants to blacklist Tingting? I'm going to vomit!"
"Men who objectify women should die!"
Xue Ting's fans and the "fist-fighters" moved at the news, and soon the hashtag #JiangJinDiscriminatesAgainstWomen# hit the trending list. For a time, Jiang Jin was universally reviled on the internet, and Supernova Special Materials Co., Ltd. was deeply embroiled in a fraud crisis!
"Zhao Wen, look at Weibo! Jiang Jin is being roasted by the entire internet!" In a high-end residential area in Dongshi, Yang Xue, who was walking her dog downstairs, shouted excitedly.
"Really?" Zhao Wen exclaimed. Because of that class reunion, the two had a huge fight after returning, and he had even been cut off from his allowance by his father. He hated Jiang Jin to the core. When he took out his phone and checked Weibo, he burst into wild laughter. "Jiang Jin, you finally got what was coming to you!"
Yang Xue frowned slightly. After a moment of thought, she raised a question: "Wait, it seems they don't know Jiang Jin's personal information?"
Hearing this, Zhao Wen paused, then suddenly realized and slapped his forehead: "Damn, you're right! Without his personal information, Jiang Jin wouldn't care no matter how many people curse him!"
Thinking of this, Zhao Wen registered a new Weibo account, published Jiang Jin's personal information, and tagged several major influencers. To his surprise, as soon as the post was sent, the system prompted that it contained sensitive information and blocked it immediately!
"What the hell, what's going on?"
Zhao Wen was stunned for a moment, then edited it again, deleting a few words he thought were sensitive, but it was still blocked instantly.
"Is your new account cursed?" Yang Xue sneered, then registered a new account herself, but she also failed to post Jiang Jin's personal information.
The two were confused. What was going on? How did Jiang Jin's personal information become "sensitive information"?
The two of them, refusing to believe it, tinkered for another ten minutes, but kept failing. Just as Zhao Wen was so angry he wanted to smash his phone, several police officers walked straight toward them.
"You are suspected of leaking state secrets. Come with us."
Zhao Wen and Yang Xue felt the world go black; they were so terrified they collapsed to the ground!
