Chapter 110: 110 Two Emperors

"Hey, Shu Rui, look quick, all those comments smearing you have disappeared?"

It was Friday.

After waking up and not feeling like getting out of bed, Zheng Jingjing, who had been scrolling through her phone while lying down, suddenly sat upright.

Because she couldn’t stop thinking about her good sister being cyberbullied, she instinctively visited Shu Rui’s personal page, worried that the rumors were getting worse, but to her surprise, she discovered that the vile and offensive language from yesterday had completely vanished.

She scrolled through several posts, and it was the same for all of them.

Beneath Li Shuru’s account was nothing but tranquility, as if the scene she witnessed yesterday had been nothing but an illusion.

Xu Siyi and Guo Ran were woken up by Zheng Jingjing’s sudden outburst.

"What’s gone? What are you rambling about so early in the morning!"

Guo Ran yawned.

"The rumors about Shu Rui being kept, they’re all gone, see for yourself."

Guo Ran was taken aback, then skeptically reached for her phone by the pillow and checked Li Shuru’s feed, only to be stunned.

Just as Zheng Jingjing had said, those indecent and crude comments had evaporated into thin air, leaving not a trace behind.

Clearly, just yesterday, it seemed like a storm was coming, but overnight, it had dissipated without a trace.

"...Shu Rui, what happened?"

Li Shuru had just woken up as well and was lying in bed with her eyes open. After a while, she spoke, "It must be because of Han Jiang Gu Ying."

"You contacted him?"

Xu Siyi, who had a bunk next to Li Shuru’s, asked as she got up.

"Yeah, I left him a message."

When it comes to acting, women are naturally gifted, and Li Shuru sat up, her face unchanging, her heart not skipping a beat.

"Who exactly is this Han Jiang Gu Ying, to be so powerful? He can even control comments for you on Xingkong?"

Guo Ran was perplexed.

Xingkong was one of the hottest short-video apps around, with official media accounts joining in droves. Thanks to it, boss Liu Yiming soared to great heights, boldly breaking the internet monopoly held by Penguin and Horse, becoming a major capital giant in the country.

Guo Ran was not unaware of Han Jiang Gu Ying’s wealth, but she hadn’t expected him to possess such formidable power.

All the negative comments disappeared overnight; there was no other possibility but the official involvement of Xingkong.

"Shu Rui, this Han Jiang Gu Ying, he couldn’t be the boss of Xingkong, or someone high up there, could he?"

Zheng Jingjing too was shocked.

"No."

Li Shuru got out of bed to wash up, appearing nonchalant on the surface, yet her mind was a whirlwind.

She was very clear that Jiang Chen had no connection to Xingkong, but now she seemed to have a new understanding of Jiang Chen’s background.

At that moment.

Fan Weigang, who had temporarily taken over the management of Xingkong, was reporting the situation to the big boss. These wealth giants, despite their vast fortunes and limitless glory, actually didn’t live the happiest of lives, at least a lot of times they got up earlier than contemporary college students.

"Boss Liu, it’s clear now. The message was spread by a female streamer named Ling Shiqi. It seems that she lost to that girl with the help of Han Huang in a PK competition, and harboring resentment, she deliberately speculated about Han Huang’s relationship with the girl during a live stream, inducing fans to maliciously speculate, which then led to this incident," Fan Weigang reported meticulously on the phone.

"I have already ordered the supervisory department to deeply reflect and to delete all the false rumors. As for some of the violating accounts, they have been banned from one month to permanently," he continued.

Indeed, as a man entrusted with great responsibility, Fan Weigang acted swiftly, launching a series of forceful measures immediately after receiving the big boss’s spur.

Perhaps somewhat satisfied with his handling, Liu Yiming’s tone softened from yesterday, but it was still quite stern.

"And what about that female broadcaster from Ling Shiqi? She’s the instigator. What’s the plan for dealing with her?"

"President Liu, this Ling Shiqi has a million followers and wields a certain influence..."

Before Fan Weigang could finish, Liu Yiming interrupted him, his voice grave, "What does a million followers matter? Does that allow her to fabricate out of thin air, to maliciously spread rumors? The core purpose of Starry Sky’s creation is to build a platform where everyone can share the beauty of life, not a dumpster for defamation and insults. Fan Weigang, you have disappointed me."

This time, Liu Yiming was truly a bit irritated.

As the business grew larger, he felt increasingly unable to cope, despite his strong capabilities. Distracted by the task of managing his various industries, he had no choice but to delegate someone to handle them.

Considering he had entrusted Fan Weigang with Starry Sky, the foundation of his success, one could imagine how much he valued Fan Weigang; however, he didn’t expect his right-hand man, upon whom he had placed great hopes, to be so shortsighted.

Never mind just a million-follower internet celebrity, even if they had ten million followers, so what?

On the surface, they seemed like "partners" in a mutually beneficial relationship, but in reality, these self-media personalities who got rich on Starry Sky were nothing but crops in the Liu Family’s field.

Missing a handful here or there was unimportant; pulled crops could be replanted.

To put it more harshly, these internet celebrities, lofty in the eyes of the ordinary people, were mere ants to Liu Yiming.

If he wished, he could make a beggar from the roadside into a nouveau riche of the internet world.

What then, is a female broadcaster with merely a million followers?

"President Liu, that’s not what I meant."

Fan Weigang gave a wry smile, knowing the big boss had misunderstood.

Having climbed to his position, how could he possibly fail to distinguish between what was urgent and what was not? The reason he didn’t rush to deal with Ling Shiqi was not because he had any regard for her so-called influence.

"President Liu, you are not aware, this Ling Shiqi, she’s from Xinli Media."

Liu Yiming, a very smart man, immediately caught the subtle hint, containing his anger, "Continue."

"This Xinli Media is an agency that specializes in cultivating internet celebrities. Its main investor is also one of Starry Sky’s emperors."

Liu Yiming slightly furrowed his brows, finally understanding the cautiousness of the other party.

"Who?"

"Sun Dongye."

Sun Dongye.

His WeChat name, the broken string, was none other than Emperor Xuan in the emperor’s chat group. He held a high position in the media industry, not just involved in cultivating internet celebrities but also investing in some film and television companies.

That luxury ad for Spring and Autumn Plaza last time, it came from him.

"President Liu, I think we should give a heads-up to both sides and negotiate a settlement," Fan Weigang cautiously suggested.

"I understand," said Liu Yiming, without further comment, before hanging up the phone.

If it were any ordinary million-follower broadcaster, banning her account would have been considered due diligence, but with another emperor standing behind this broadcaster, such hasty treatment was not an option.

Both parties were prominent figures; neither was good to offend.

After some thought, Liu Yiming quickly made a decision. Taking his smartphone, he pulled Emperor Xuan and "Lonely Shadow in the Chilly River" into a separate group chat.
