Lin Jiaqiao turned around and looked at her assistant, Mu Danhua.
This person's surname is Shan, and his WeChat avatar is a picture of a big red peony with an old-fashioned feel, with the three words "Mu Dan Hua" written in purple letters on it. Therefore, his colleagues call him "Hua Zong" or "Hua Niangniang".
Hua Zong said: "It's so sweet to be pulling and tugging so early in the morning."
Lin Jiaqiao rolled his eyes at him and asked, "Is the morning push ready?"
Mr. Hua showed her his phone and asked, "Are we still 'borrowing' from 'Wei Guan News'?"
It’s all because of lack of money.
Due to funding issues, "Youxian Dubao" has very few reporters. Coupled with the rise of self-media, their news channels have become much narrower, and they can only find a few valuable news in a day.
Most of the time, they sit in front of their computers, piecing together news from other media to fool their readers and get clicks.
Lin Jiaqiao read the push from 'Wei Guan News' again. The whole article was full of envy for the lavish wedding and fabricated stories about Jiang Xing and Xiang Xiaoyuan.
Hua Zong instigated: "The rich, the mistress, and the licking dog, the click rate is guaranteed."
Lin Jiaqiao pretended to hit someone: "Society is already materialistic enough now. It's ok for our media not to guide people in a positive direction, but to add fuel to the flames. How can that be justified?"
Hua Zong was dissatisfied: "Isn't this what the people like to watch? It's all for life, it's not shameful."
Speaking of life, in order to keep "Youxian Reading the Newspaper" alive, Lin Jiaqiao has been really shameless since this year.
She reposted celebrity news and provoked fans to quarrel with each other. She deliberately created all kinds of anxiety and caused confrontation between various groups.
It can be said that she has used almost all the despicable methods used by self-media.
"Youxian Dubao", a serious newspaper, was made into a mess by her, like a marketing account.
But despite all the trouble, "Youxian Dubao" is still half-dead and on the verge of bankruptcy.
If he had the chance to do it all over again, Lin Jiaqiao was a little confused, not knowing whether he should make the same decision.
She asked, “Should we do it if readers like it?”
"Yes." Hua Zong was very open-minded and advised:
“No one wastes energy and money on something they don’t like.”
"The click rate and money spent by netizens reflect the world they want to see."
"They want to be superficial, but we are asking for trouble if we are profound. Since everyone wants to eat junk food, why should we prepare a full banquet? It is a waste of effort and thankless."
Lin Jiaqiao laughed at himself: "Readers who like to eat garbage are shameless, and you and I who try to please them have no bottom line. We are really rotten together."
Seeing that her face was not right, Hua Zong tried to probe: "Actually, I found a good news, but the click rate-"
This news is from yesterday.
A female passenger was sleeping on a train when she felt something moving in her mouth. When she opened her eyes, she found a strange man kissing her.
With the help of other passengers, the passenger subdued the man and alerted the flight attendant.
The man confessed his behavior and said that he kissed her because she was pretty.
Finally, the strange man was sentenced to five days of administrative detention for the crime of indecent assault.
Lin Jiaqiao thought for a moment and asked, "Did anyone report it?"
Hua Zong showed her his phone: "Only a few self-media outlets reported that the headline was 'A man secretly kissed a strange woman on a train because she was so pretty.'"
Lin Jiaqiao made the final decision, "Let's use this one. Replace 'stealing kiss' with 'obscene/molested'."
Hua Zong exclaimed: "It's not good to be so dirty so early in the morning."
Lin Jiaqiao pointed to the notice from the police station and said, "That's what the police officer sentenced us to."
"We still need to describe these two innocent people in a distorted way, not to mention that this bastard is really breaking the law."
Hua Zong gave a thumbs up: "Male, female, train, obscene. Today's hits are in place."
Lin Jiaqiao then said, "Pin a comment under the news and put the special feature we did before about men being sexually assaulted."
Hua Zong: "… Such a big deal?"
Lin Jiaqiao said: "Sexual assault has never been a female issue."
"Every hour, a man is sexually assaulted in the world. In our country, the sexual assault rate for boys is 13.8% and for girls is 15.3%, which is almost the same."
“So, it’s everyone’s business to pay attention to and oppose sex/assault.”
"We in the media cannot prevent tragedies from happening, but we can call on everyone to pay attention to this matter."
Hua Zong looked at her suspiciously: "Boss, what happened to you yesterday? Why do you look so weird?"
Lin Jiaqiao had already discovered that he had changed his core, and felt a little guilty, "W-what?"
Hua Zong said: "You are so smart today, just like when we first met."
Lin Jiaqiao rolled his eyes and said, "Young comrade, you are so young, but you are so miserable and greasy."
Hua always misses you a little: "You were so reckless and naive back then, like a fool."
Lin Jiaqiao clenched his fist and said, "You know, I can kill three people like you with one punch."
Hua Zong added: "It's as if the whole world is blocking your way, but you are not afraid. Even if you hit a wall, you can use your head to smash a hole in the wall and keep moving forward."
"Just like a little sparrow, your chirping may be small and no one may hear it, but you will persist."
The two of them had already arrived at the office. Lin Jiaqiao put down his bag and said, "Congratulations, young man. You've saved your life."
Hua Zong smiled awkwardly, "Teacher Cui said so."
Teacher Cui was Lin Jiaqiao's master and has passed away.
The desk Lin Jiaqiao is using now is his.
He is also the reason why Lin Jiaqiao hates He Youwei.
Looking at the table used by the teacher, Lin Jiaqiao thought, she looked down on He Youwei who was a marketing account, but how was she nobler than He Youwei.
Lin Jiaqiao was deep in thought when Hua Zong said, "Come to think of it, did you see what He Youwei did last night?"
Lin Jiaqiao asked: "What did she do again?"
Hua Zong was surprised: "You don't know!"
He Youwei secretly recorded Lin Jiaqiao's remarks at the wedding about the "pure desire style", "right-angled shoulders" and "ant waist", cut out the beginning and the end and released it, misleading fans, saying that Lin Jiaqiao was attacking their sister.
The fans of a certain girl group and an internet celebrity were not happy about this, and last night they flooded the official account of "Youxian Reading Newspaper" with messages demanding that they apologize to their idols.
Lin Jiaqiao didn't want to waste time on such boring things, and said, "I want to finish the work and then do it as usual."
Hua Zong said: "It is true that those who are close to you are wise, boss. I have already edited the response last night and sent it to your email."
Lin Jiaqiao logged into his email and saw the email from Mr. Hua saying: The editorial department of Youxian Reading Newspaper deeply regrets the current incident and criticizes and educates the person responsible for the incident.
This is their usual way of dealing with things, perfunctory but not offending anyone.
Lin Jiaqiao had just copied this information and was about to paste it into the homepage when he suddenly got an inspiration.
She looked at the previous message that had received more than 100,000 insults, her eyes lighting up: How can this be an insult? This is the click rate.
She asked Mr. Hua: "Do you know any internet celebrities? Preferably one with a 'pure desire' style."
Hua Zong thought for a moment and said, "It seems that there are internet celebrities of this type in Haicheng. Boss, what do you want to do?"
Lin Jiaqiao smiled brightly, "Of course I will contact her and interview her."
"You see, when everyone's eyes are focused on the girls' waists and legs, we show their hearts. This is not only hot, but also noble."
Hua Zong applauded, "Boss, I think this is a good idea. But have you ever thought that these girls who attract attention with their bodies may have nothing in their hearts."
Lin Jiaqiao said firmly: "Impossible. Children also have joys, sorrows, anger, and worries. They always have their own happiness and distress."
Hua Zong added: "But maybe everyone is only interested in their bodies."
Lin Jiaqiao said with a smile: "Then use your body to trick 'everyone' in. - Wait a minute!"
She had a new idea. "We can make this report and the news about 'molestation on trains' into a series of reports to explore whether the amount of clothes a girl wears has anything to do with her being molested."
With a direction in mind, Lin Jiaqiao quickly distributed the tasks, and everyone threw themselves into the endless work.
That morning, Lin Jiaqiao was taking a nap on his desk when Hua Zong rushed into the office and shouted, "Big news!"
"The Liu family's son, Liu Yang, has been kidnapped!"
