Chapter 83: The District Bully Strikes Again! (Make-up Update)

A few days passed in a flash.

Zhou Yi could swear that he had only bought three Traffic Packages, but he never expected that the other party would actually ride this wave and show signs of going viral!

Regarding this, Zhou Yi specifically went to ask a "friend," and the "friend" even praised him, saying this marketing tactic was simply too high-level, a classic example of using four ounces to move a thousand pounds!

Zhou Yi could only express his helplessness; that female Anchor on the other side was truly too good at leeching off heat.

Every step of her leeching was perfectly timed; truth be told, none of those who can go viral like this are simple.

Taking out his phone, Zhou Yi dialed Lawyer Fang's number.

"Stop urging me, Zhou Yi. I have already sent out the Lawyer's Letter. You don't need to worry about the procedural issues; the evidence is almost ready. If the other party doesn't respond today, I can go to the Court to file a Lawsuit!"

"Yes, rest assured. Also, have you thought about the matter of your former Company suing you for compensation? Make sure to leave it to me; with me here, you can rest easy. Just have the money ready..."

Snap! Zhou Yi hung up the phone. Zhou Yi was still the same Zhou Yi, but Lawyer Fang was no longer the same Lawyer Fang.

Opening his phone to check his chat history, his private messages had started exploding again over the past few days.

The reason was simple: that troublemaking Ling Jie had been updating her videos and live streams in various ways these past few days.

Whether it was the titles she chose or the content of her live streams, everything revolved around him, Zhou Yi, and that previous shop-visiting video had already been deleted.

Logically speaking, Zhou Yi had only become slightly popular on Bilibili, and the video that truly broke out of the niche was actually the first one!

There was no helping it; who told that title to be so "judgement-worthy."

However, the quality of Zhou Yi's videos was there; these videos weren't things you could just film whenever you wanted.

You need to happen to encounter such an event, and on top of that, you have to film and edit it all perfectly.

Take neighbors disturbing the peace, for example; many people encounter such things, but who can truly file a Lawsuit and take a crowd of Netizens along through the entire legal process?

Very few, truly very few.

Therefore, under the circumstances of the other side marketing so crazily and playing the victim, Zhou Yi's video views actually increased... which was just absurd.

However, there were also many people underneath hurling abuse at him, saying that as a pedantic Up Master, he was actually bullying a single mother.

And that he even let his fans engage in Internet Violence, causing the other party to become depressed...

This left Zhou Yi unable to laugh or cry; do I call those fans? I call them my esteemed audience, alright!

And now, Zhou Yi's esteemed audience was also constantly asking him why he didn't post a video to fight back.

Because the other party was not only constantly leeching off the heat, but also implying in both overt and covert ways that because of that previous matter, she had been subjected to Internet Violence and had even developed depression.

She also said to let everyone not disturb others, which sounded very polite.

Conversely, on Zhou Yi's side, there had been no movement since the new video was posted; Zhou Yi didn't even have a single status update.

In this situation, it would be fine if it were familiar audience members, but those who were unfamiliar would subconsciously think that this Up Master had nothing to say...

"You really must fight back. On the internet nowadays, if you don't speak up, others will really think you are that kind of person. So I think it's better if you post a status update or a video."

This was the advice given by Yuan Jie.

After the last live stream, he had chatted with Yuan Jie quite a few times; truthfully speaking, they could be considered friends.

Yuan Jie belonged to the type of girl who was sharp-tongued but actually very attentive, so when she encountered some problems, she would also send private messages to remind Zhou Yi.

Since everyone wanted him to fight back, then he would fight back!

Thus, Zhou Yi quickly edited a few sentences.

"Everyone wants me to fight back, saying I should write something or film something to counter, and that I can't just let the other party talk. As for me, I actually want to tell her one thing: do not say that you were not warned!"

The image attached below the status update was the one from the article originally signed by "Zhong Sheng," which also had "Do not say that you were not warned" written on it.

What is called being cultured? It's not him, Zhou Yi, bragging, but this phrase—those who know, know!

The reason why Xu Yufeng needed to be like that back then was precisely because she didn't understand this phrase.

…………

Meanwhile, in Ling Jie's live stream room, it was already a scene of lively activity.

After several days of fermentation, Ling Jie's popularity was already twice what it had been before.

Therefore, seizing this opportunity, Ling Jie directly started live-streaming to sell goods.

As a marketing method that pushes the traffic of internet anchors to the extreme, the model of live-streaming to sell goods has quietly changed the landscape of the live-streaming industry without anyone noticing!

In the words of some, those live streams where people shouted all day for others to gift "Emperors" and the like belonged to the trend of yesteryear; at that time, hot money poured in continuously, creating the prosperity of the live-streaming world.

And what is the trend now? It is live-streaming to sell goods!

You have no idea how much those anchors who sell goods have earned...

Therefore, under such circumstances, many celebrities have also participated, shamelessly using unskilled marketing jargon to sell goods, unable to sell a single item after half a day...

They even frequently create new idioms on the internet, which leaves people feeling truly astonished!

And now, look at Ling Jie, with her constant shouting—where is there any depression? She is truly glowing with health.

"Babies, this item, the price of this very item—this is what your Ling Jie fought tooth and nail to secure from the manufacturer. I can tell you very responsibly that you won't find this price anywhere else!"

On the other side, Ling Jie's assistant was constantly observing the state of the live stream room.

They had naturally received the Lawyer's Letter, but in the current situation where things were so hot, let us apologize for the previous matter and quit the live-streaming industry?

Are you kidding? With so much money coming in by the minute, we apologize and quit the internet?

They ignored it completely; that Lawyer's Letter was tossed directly to the side.

Ling Jie had even long been prepared to be sued. It's just Right of Reputation; at worst, she would just pay some money. Only the money that actually reaches one's own hands is real!

"Hey, Wang Jie, look, that Up Master on the other side posted a status update."

A young girl said to Ling Jie's assistant while holding a phone.

As Ling Jie gradually became a big Anchor, the assistant also rose with the tide and became a "Jie."

"Status update?" The assistant Wang Weiwei took the phone and looked at it: "'Do not say that you were not warned'? And 'those who know, know'? What is this saying?"

The girl beside her shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.

"Don't worry about him, we just need to do our own thing."

"Right, ban everyone in the comment section who is still spamming 'tunnel', don't let them talk nonsense and affect the purchases of viewers coming in later."

It was obvious that in the face of money, everything else was fake.

Zhou Yi naturally did not receive a response from the other party.

On the contrary, in his comment section, quite a few people knew what this meant...

"Holy crap, the District Bully said this again!"

"Yeah, last time he seemed to have this sentence in the Notification Letter he wrote to the neighbor upstairs, and later... everyone knows what happened."

"This sentence is really 'if you know, you know', so I just want to see what will happen to that Anchor!"

Time arrived at the afternoon, and Fang Dazhuang drove to the Court unhurriedly.

It was fortunate that everything was in Jingzhou City, so the issue of jurisdiction was easy to handle.

During this period, he had collected a great deal of evidence, and just organizing it had taken a long time.

After all, he had to extract the useful information and connect it into an Evidence Chain.

But Fang Dazhuang was very excited; he could finally practice his profession again...

Still, making up for missed updates, twenty chapters remaining. Seeking monthly tickets and subscriptions.
