373: Chapter 31: CEO Cheng’s First Rod Reeling 373: Chapter 31: CEO Cheng’s First Rod Reeling After once again confirming with CEO Cheng, Xiao Cao said no more and helped Cheng Daqi to post the lawyer’s notice on Shanhaiguan’s official Weibo, TikTok, and WeChat public account.

A lawyer’s letter is just a letter, serving a notification function, with an effect akin to a war of words before the battle, far from the actual bayonet fight.

Sending a lawyer’s letter does not necessarily represent justice, and receiving one doesn’t necessarily mean any laws have been really broken—it’s just a tactic, with a hint of grandstanding firmness, yet far from a definitive judgment.

Ai Guobei has been around the internet for many years as well, and CEO Cheng’s lawyer’s letter can’t scare him, but CEO Cheng’s target was never him in the first place!

He’s just an attention-seeking opportunist.

CEO Cheng is playing this elaborate scheme with the aim of positioning himself at the center of Hua Country’s internet stage.

He had briefly made it onto the trending searches before, but there are dozens of trends every day, short-lived, and of not high value.

The minimal goal for CEO Cheng’s move was to dominate the trending searches for two days!

As for additional goals…

it all depends on how Ai Guobei responds.

The overall strategy is to play by ear.

This whole setup was from the start crafted by CEO Cheng himself, who felt confident enough to boldly say, ‘The advantage is mine.’

However, remembering the bald guy who said the same and lost his pants, CEO Cheng ultimately didn’t dare to say it aloud.

Trouble does indeed come from one’s words, and Ai Guobei is a prime example.

—————–

In later times, when every little grievance resulted in a legal notice and netizens grew weary of them,

But now in 2018, the attacking force and shock value of lawyer’s letters had not completely dissipated.

If online posts and quarrels are likened to low-end brawling, then an official lawyer’s letter is like an enchanted magic attack—not even of the same dimension.

Especially since CEO Cheng himself is an internet celebrity with over a million followers.

His cumulative fans across multiple platforms number over one hundred and twenty million!

Since his rebirth, Cheng Daqi had been riding trends, creating works, spending money on marketing, buying trending search spots, hiring internet water armies, and all his groundwork and accumulation exploded in this moment with tremendous influence, amplifying his voice.

On the other hand, CEO Cheng’s letter recipient, Ai Guobei, was also a top-ranking veteran internet celebrity in Hua Country, with some fame in the internet community.

The combined influence of the two made CEO Cheng’s lawyer’s letter surge to the top of the trending searches.

Of course, Shanhaiguan’s trusted partners, the legal-edge-walking internet navy crews, also contributed a lot.

Ai Guobei had been bombarding Cheng Daqi for several days, while CEO Cheng calmly went out to play with a dozen beauties, with official media taking a stance on the side, and in this process, netizens deeply engrossed in the drama ate their popcorn thoroughly.

CEO Cheng first laid a trap and then baited the hook, trolling Ai Guobei for several days, yet Cheng Daqi was never quite satisfied with the offensive power against Ai Guobei.

It was after an official media tabloid that loved to write stories entered the fray that CEO Cheng finally saw the opportunity to reel in his catch.

In other words, the heat of the conflict between CEO Cheng and Ai Guobei had been fully fermented.

And CEO Cheng’s lawyer’s letter still had some attacking power and influence, which was akin to the spark igniting a pile of kindling.

Lighting the fire, burning Ai Guobei, aiding Shanhaiguan, and enhancing his own reputation, CEO Cheng calculated every step with clarity.

Even the why and when to meet Sun Dongxin was clearly calculated by CEO Cheng.

Did CEO Cheng really need Wu Ming Law Firm’s help?

Was he so scared that he needed Brother Sun to save him?

No!

It was his last line of defense before the final assault, his last time check before the nuclear detonation!

After the final test and confirmation that Brother Sun would be on his side, Cheng Daqi was ready to let loose!

TikTok video, “Cheng Daqi is actually a tycoon?” Boom!

Weibo trending search, “Ai Guobei, this Joker, has met his match,” Boom!

Shanhaiguan’s public account, “Legal Notice about the Defamation Against Our Chairman Mr.

Cheng Daqi,” over a hundred thousand shares in three hours!
