But do people really behave like that in reality?
Regarding this, Cheng Zhu, a man who had navigated through many social encounters, certainly had some authority to speak.
His experiences had taught him: they didn’t.
He had even encountered many who would harshly criticize others online but act extremely flattering in private chats with him.
Of course, there were plenty of such clowns among men.
Online, he was a Sigma male; in reality, he was either a bootlicker or a sea dog.
Many people rushed into Weibo’s official account and immediately lost their anger.
"He is really handsome, has a bit of young Edison Chen’s vibe."
"He’s also really tall."
"And his legs are so long, incredible!"
"Eh? What did I come to Youu Tea’s Weibo for again?"
Their main strategy was simply to switch sides on the spot!
No, no, no, he was so sunny and handsome that he seemed to smell good!
If my boyfriend looked like him, covered in sweat after a basketball game, and I hugged him, I’d think he smelled wonderful!
Many had their insults ready, only to find themselves inexplicably stuck.
The particularly appearance-focused among them had a very rational voice erupt in their minds: "There must be more to this story!"
A handsome face equated to the great method of rational recovery.
Before this, these people had abandoned their reason, but hey, they suddenly picked it up!
Some began to meticulously unravel the truth and really found it.
"Ah? It was Chen Yue who started the passive-aggressive comments!"
"Mad Woman! She really is crazy!"
"Going so far as to say he’s irresponsible to the company!"
"Madness, how is this irresponsible? His photo is very pleasing to my eyes!"
"I’m just curious, if I worked at Youu Tea, would I have a chance to meet the boss?"
Of course, in this tide of followers, there were still some who weren’t seduced by ’male beauty’ and maintained their steadfast pursuit of truth, continuing to fiercely criticize below!
But amid the frenzied traffic, their voices seemed extremely weak.
And you have to know, what makes a Weibo post popular involves comprehensive data, where ’comment volume’ plays an important role.
Their intense comments, blasting out several or even dozens at a time, if you round off, it’s like they’re helping Youu Tea brush comments!
Since these comments sink to the bottom and never make it to the hot comments,
What difference is there between them and those brushing comments?
These people suddenly became free labor, turning into a network of angry data-entering machines!
The angrier they got, the higher their work efficiency!
The angrier they got, the greater the amount of data they contributed!
The angrier they got, the higher the Weibo post climbed in hot search rankings!
Both Zhou Tao’s team and the money Chen Yue spent ended up supporting Cheng Zhu’s side with data for trending searches.
All these words boil down to one:
Thanks for the great support from our competitors!
Zhou Tao had been in this industry for so long and had never encountered such an unconventional opponent.
Their opponent would simply lash out with a handsome photo if disputes arose!
And since he was in this business, he knew well the nature of netizens.
"His move is truly effective!"
People are creatures who judge by appearances.
It’s like when you’re driving and suddenly get hit by someone driving recklessly.
When you get out of the car, you might curse: "For god’s sake, learn how to drive!"
But if the other person completely matches your aesthetic preferences, some men might instantly think, "Holy, is this fate arranged by God?"
Is this a rear-end collision?
Zhou Tao could never have dreamed of hitting such a tough spot.
His side’s well-prepared aggressive approach was drowned out by a chorus of "Wow, so handsome."
He was so pissed, he even wanted to punch himself!
The workload for the entire PR team had unquestionably increased.
Because Chen Yue’s personal Weibo suffered quite the backlash!
After some netizens figured out what was happening, they began to criticize those marketing accounts for cherry-picking and distorting facts.
"All previous efforts were in vain!" Zhou Tao felt completely powerless.
He couldn’t help but curse Chen Yue in his mind: "I should never have followed your directive to target Cheng Zhu!"
It was because Chen Yue felt that the momentum generated by Cheng Zhu’s side wasn’t big enough, which is why he instructed to find more marketing accounts to sway public opinion.
"We’re already in a mess, doing a clean job would be lucky already."
"And yet, you insisted on dragging others down too!"
"If everything had gone according to my original plan, none of this would have happened!" Zhou Tao started to furiously shift the blame in his mind.
"Mad Woman, she really is a mad woman!" he couldn’t help but curse furiously.
In Hang City, at the Shen Family’s home.
Shen Qingning just watched as Youu Tea’s official Weibo post garnered more and more attention, climbing to the top five of Weibo’s hot search and even aiming for the number one spot.
The hot search term read "Mei Changsu’s photo."
With her keen business acumen, she felt that such a hot search term was most appropriate.
"If it were ’Mei Changsu Youu Tea,’ it would give off too strong an advertising vibe, which is the least suitable and would diminish the effect."
"If the term were something from the hot comments like ’Comparable to Hu Ge’ or ’Comparable to Mei Changsu,’ it would set too high of an expectation, leading people to click in with extremely high expectations, possibly resulting in harsh criticism of Cheng Zhu."
", it’s just right. People will click in while still confused, which would achieve the best effect." Shen Qingning thought.
During this time, Ningning had also been following the drama series. She was keenly watching "Langya List."
Looking at the group photo, she didn’t feel that the netizens’ comments were exaggerated.
