    112: booby trap

    “So stingy?” Qin Ruicheng laughed from the other side of the computer screen, “You can’t even bear to buy the topic. Did you lose money on your investment?”

    “You should take care of yourself first.” Song Qiyan flipped through the documents without raising his head and said calmly, “Ruifan doesn’t have a discount plan. If you create one, how are you going to explain it to the company’s shareholders?”

    “Hey…” Qin Ruicheng curled his lips. He put his legs on the table and looked like he was not sitting. But even though he looked cool, he knew in his heart that this matter was not easy to get over. “Let’s talk about it later. She is my mother after all, can she still eat me?”

    “You are too reckless.”

    “Hey, don’t burn bridges. If it weren’t for me, someone would have reached the top. There is no way to remove the hot topics on the list.”

    “…” Song Qiyan couldn’t help but finally raised his head and glanced at Qin Ruicheng. He seemed to want to say something, but he hesitated when he said it. He obviously felt that Qin Ruicheng couldn’t understand the complicated logic, and finally stopped talking at all.

    “What’s that look in your eyes…” Qin Rui became confused, “Don’t act like you’ve already arranged everything. It’s impossible for Su Hai to do it all because of you, right?”

    When he heard Su Hai, Song Qiyan’s face darkened slightly, but he concealed it so well that even Qin Ruicheng, who was videotaping with him, didn’t notice.

    “But this Ruan Qing has a lot of stamina. It seems he has given up his old job.” Qin Ruicheng looked at the constantly updated hot search list playfully, took out a cigarette and lit it, lazily holding it in his mouth, “If you don’t move, it will be really difficult to chase him.”

    Song Qiyan was noncommittal.

    The two of them were smoking and batching documents. Although the video call was on, they both kept silent in a tacit understanding. Occasionally, a white light flashed in the room to refresh the trending search list. The topic #阮青被打# was advancing rapidly. Although it was still far behind Suhai and Ruifan Jewelry, it was far ahead of other topics.

    Qin Ruicheng was about to say something more when he suddenly heard a strange noise coming from the video.

    “Okay.” Qin Ruicheng said happily, “At this point, with so much trouble, you are still in the mood to hide your beauty in a golden house.”

    He didn’t know that Qiao Qiao had been brought home by Song Qiyan under the pretense of being a public servant. He thought he had just brought a woman back from somewhere, so he clicked his tongue twice: “I’ve never heard of you bringing someone home before. What’s wrong with you?”

    Song Qiyan smiled faintly, pushed away the chair and said, “I’ll go take a look.”

    “Go ahead, go ahead.”

    After Song Qiyan walked out of the video range and was completely invisible, Qin Ruicheng, who felt more and more wrong the more he thought about it, finally came to his senses. It was impossible for a man like Song Qiyan to bring people home, let alone bring people home. If someone accidentally touched him on the road, he would make them angry… He could be brought into the home by him at this time, and he could still move around freely——

    Qin Ruicheng had an idea and finally grasped the key to the problem.

    “Damn…” Qin Ruicheng gritted his teeth, “Song Qiyan, just wait for me.”

    @@@

    In the office on the other side, Ruan Qing and Mr. Luo did not relax at all.

    Liu Xiaopeng helped them monitor the trends of other topics in real time, but since they added money for the second time and started to rush to the top of the list, the previously hidden enemy seemed to suddenly disappear. No matter how high they occupied the list, the other party showed no response. But it was this calm before the storm that tortured the nerves even more. Ruan Qing asked Liu Xiaopeng over and over again to buy more heat, while Mr. Luo walked back and forth in the office. The tense atmosphere continued, burning people’s willpower.

    “This is definitely no problem.” The agent looked at the briefing sent by Liu Xiaopeng, “There are less than three hours until dawn. They will never catch up in such a short period of time. Even if one or two can ride on our head, as long as the users come online, we will still have exposure.”

    “Yeah.” Mr. Luo frowned. He still felt uneasy, “Are you sure you can’t catch up?”

    “Mr. Luo, it took us half the night to brush up to this level. The other party wants to brush up on 8 topics. Even if we hire 8 online companies, it’s too late.”

    Ruan Qing bit her finger and said nothing. Her beautiful almond-shaped eyes were staring at the list without blinking. A woman’s sixth sense is always very accurate. Although it seemed calm, Ruan Qing knew that the other party had not disappeared. Maybe he was hiding somewhere and watching them secretly.

    She was almost certain that there was a conspiracy behind this, but she couldn’t think of any other way to reverse it even after racking her brains. Could it be that she was like Ruifan Jewelry, who landed in the air?But just counting on your fingers, how many Ruifan jewelry can there be in the country?

    “Maybe I just gave up.” The manager pretended to be relaxed and said, “No one’s money comes from the wind. It is already very rare for a small artist to do this.”

    “Who is this Qiao Qiao!” Mr. Luo sighed, and finally asked the question that had been lingering in his mind, “First it was Ruifan from the business world, then the actor, and there was a financial backer behind her to buy topics for her. The point is that the background is so deep that we don’t know anything about it!”

    Everyone else was silent. What happened tonight was indeed much beyond their expectations.

    Time passed by, and there was no big change in the hot search list. Seeing that the time was getting closer and closer to dawn, everyone in the office breathed a sigh of relief.

    Ruan Qing also showed a smile. It seemed that she was too worried. After all, she won this battle.

    “Where’s Xiao Zhao?” Mr. Luo greeted, “I didn’t take the photo at first, but it should be no problem if I take it again this time.”

    “Mr. Luo…” the manager sneered, “Well, it’s better not to give it up.”

    “Oh, that’s right.” Mr. Luo waved his hand, “It’s unlucky to take photos tonight, so we should just wait.”

    So the four people sat in front of the sofa and stared at the clock. There were only a few minutes left, and sporadic users had already started to come online. They were completely unaware of the bloody storm last night. In their eyes, this was just an ordinary day.

    “The last minute.” The agent said solemnly.

    “Everyone has worked hard tonight.” Mr. Luo smiled and said, “Go back and have a good rest later. We will do other things when you wake up. It will be good to earn third place in the end.”

    “Yes, it is rare for the company to have such a high exposure rate. It is best to seize the opportunity to release a few movies and take advantage of the popularity to drive the box office.” The agent did not forget to give advice.

    But even though they were talking about other topics, none of the four people took their eyes off the list. The shadow of Ruifan Jewelry was so great that no one wanted to revisit it again.

    Finally, the second hand reached 12 and the night passed.

    The number of online users of the platform suddenly surged. Most people wake up at this time in the morning. After turning off the alarm clock, they open social platforms and start browsing news. The trending search list is also the first thing they look at.

    Countless pairs of eyes are about to focus on this list, and a night of hard work is about to pay off.

    Everyone was excited when suddenly, the hot search list flashed without warning, and after refreshing, it turned out to be completely blank.

    “What’s going on?!” Ruan Qing’s heart rang with alarm bells. She quickly stepped forward to fiddle with the computer, “Is the computer stuck?”

    “No!” Assistant Xiao Zhao held up his phone, his voice trembling, “My, my phone is blank too!”

    The sudden situation made the four people in the office confused. They hurriedly took out their mobile phones to look. Sure enough, not only Xiao Zhao, but also the hot search list in everyone’s hands became blank.

    “This…” Mr. Luo murmured, “This is impossible! Is there a virus in the platform switchboard? How can they actually do this?”

    “It’s not a virus.” The agent looked at the latest hot search list with a dull expression, “It’s major national news.”

    On the hot search list, all the original entertainment topics disappeared, replaced by a bold and black news headline – “Professor Zhou Yuanchuan announced the discovery of gravitational waves from the merger of two neutron stars in the universe.”

    Mr. Luo couldn’t help but curse.

    He really couldn’t stand it anymore. Although the country has always been like this, especially when it passed an entertainment restriction bill a while ago, variety shows and entertainment topics must be controlled when any major event occurs, but this kind of thing only happens once in a few years?The last hot search was cleared for a whole day because of a major mudslide disaster in a certain southwest region. How come this week was not discovered earlier and later, but it was discovered at this time?Isn’t this deliberately going against him?

    Ruan Qing was so angry that she was shaking all over, she had spent so much money!All the cards given to her by the financial sponsor were maxed out, just hoping that a hot search would make her worth more, but she never expected that she would encounter something like this!

    She hated her so much that the taste of blood started to swell in her mouth, her head hurt so much that it felt like it was about to split, and her agent kept buzzing in her ears like a fly. She felt that the strings of her rationality were being broken one by one.Just one step away, just one step away!Why is everyone targeting her?Is this life?

    No.

    Ruan Qing suddenly trembled. She thought of the opponent who disappeared on the list… No wonder, no wonder that person didn’t follow her to spend money again. He must have known that such a thing would happen!These are all arranged!

    It’s terrible.

    The trap was planned from the beginning, leading her to jump into it step by step. It was not enough to just spend the money to compete for the rankings, but she was also forced to pay to protect her ranking!But even if he is on the list and his ranking is maintained, in the end it can still make people lose everything!

    The more Ruan Qing thought about it, the more frightened she felt. What kind of careful thinking would it take to achieve this level? The man was warning her through the list that there were some lines that she could not step on.

    It was also at this time that Ruan Qing felt regretful for the first time. She was so arrogant that she rushed into the 18th line without even knowing the situation clearly. Where is the entertainment industry? Just picking up a stone can hit a well-connected person with good background. How come she thinks Qiao Qiao is easy to bully?

    “How long will it take for this hot search list to be cleared?” Mr. Luo asked feebly.

    “Last time… it was a whole day.” Assistant Xiao Zhao said softly.

    “What about the emptying? Do we still count it as before?”

    “Of course not.” The agent’s smile was worse than crying, “It’s not our turn.”

    Mr. Luo stopped talking and Ruan Qing lowered his head. No one in the office said anything. Everyone knew that it was impossible to stand up again and they had completely lost this battle.
