A company held enormous power, but a large company had powers beyond that.

The moment the four in the top brass of the [In] company made their decision, the entire company flew into action.

Dozens of people in the marketing department divided their duties. Some were in charge of deleting posts, some were media buyers, some were handling microblogging articles, some helped in spreading rumours while others were busy inviting cybertroopers to defend themselves.

It was also true that users got angry as expected by Director Sun when they learned how the 10 million yuan bonus was now downgraded to only 100. It wasn't even money anymore and was just coins.

One by one, they all raged and cursed, "Fraudulent company!

"We trusted you! We don't want your bullsh*t [In] coins!"

"Gimmick! I'd be an idiot to use your app again in the future!"

"You're all liars!"

To be frank, netizens had a short memory and nobody would remember what was going on when [In]

the netizens' memory is only seven seconds, and no one will remember what's going on after a while when IN put out more articles.

Time was the best medicine which could heal all wounds. The netizens would eventually forget. After all, how many hot news or events ended up like that?

An emotional message viewed currently would only be a flash in my memory a few years later. "Huh? Wasn't so-and-so sentenced to death at the time?"

Even if they recalled the issue, it would probably just be a fleeting thought for most people. They wouldn't pay much attention to it.

According to the statistics they drew from their server, it was similar to Director Sun's expectations. Their daily active users barely declined and the fluctuations they sighted were how they always fluctuated in the past.

According to the official microblog announcement which sounded rather tearful, it said that the reward was the fault of a part-time worker who envied how the Find Me app was doing and wanted to help promote the app. However, he ended up putting his own company's name on it.

Then they sincerely hoped that the Find Me App campaign would be successful.

Finally, the official microblog explained that most bounties this large on the internet don't use cash.

Although they were different issues, saying this would make people wonder if the Find Me app was also cheating.

After all, there were many microblogs, circulars, and news articles that put both the Find Me and the [In] app in one basket, saying that they're the twin stars of the tech world.

Now that the [In] company said it was a mistake and a gimmick, what would happen to the Find Me app?

Was it possible that the 10 million prize money was also a gimmick?

With the guidance of the [In] company and their formidable army, many of the netizens who read the news flocked to the Find Me app's microblog.

They asked the Find Me app to show evidence that they had prepared this multi-million yuan prize.

A few people even commented.

"The nature of both apps are different."

"No illegal information has been found on the Find Me app so far."

However, these comments had deliberately been suppressed by the cybertroopers to the point where no one paid any attention at all.

After all, online emotions could be easily amplified and with the proper coaxing, many would begin thinking. 'If everyone says this is true, it's impossible that they're wrong! The Find Me app owes us an explanation!'

The [In] company had also managed to minimize the negative impact on themselves. Aside from the users who had videos of them finding the illegal content on the app, others were flocking to the Find Me app's microblog to taunt them.

Of the tens of thousands of users who found the illegal content on the app, only a thousand or so wouldn't let go of the matter. Most of the rest had already given up.

The little bun Li Zijun realized that something was wrong right off the bat. After the [In] company fanned the flames of war, she was extremely angered.

She had been trying to get a hold of Su Yang, wanting to work with him on how they were going to grab the public's opinion.

However, her calls to him went unanswered.

Time passed, and with the help of the cybertroopers, the false propaganda they were spouting about the Find Me app began to spread as increasingly more people paid attention to the matter.

Som were people who had been looking for an entire day but still couldn't find any illegal content so they felt aggrieved. Others were those who got cheated by the [In] Company so they came over to vent their anger. There were also a bunch of people who were just watching by the sidelines as various people came to the Find Me app's microblog to question and abuse them online.

The topic of the Find Me app's reward possibly being a gimmick also began trending on Weibo.

However, other companies in the industry weren't paying much attention to this because they were more interested in the AI system of the Find Me app.

With a technical team that ordinary users didn't have, the companies began crawling the data on the Find Me app like the [In] company in an attempt to see if illegal content was truly absent from their platform.

However, what they discovered was shocking to them. Under their strict screening by using machines, humans, and hidden keywords, they still couldn't find any illegal content.

Even when they tried posting illegal content on the Find Me app, they realized that they couldn't even inject a line of code. They would be blocked before they even got in. Their efforts were like a stone sinking in the sea.

If they tried sending offensive messages en-large, they would also get IP-blocked.

They were really shocked. 'Does the Find Me app really have such an efficient AI system?'

Although it was shocking, they had to admit that it was true.

If it wasn't for an AI system, the Find Me app would probably have to hire a thousand reviewers to achieve a feat like this.

That was even more preposterous than having an AI system.

No matter how it happened, the Find Me app's 10,000,000 bounty had an explosive effect. The effect was most notably seen in Lin Jiali.

As one of the celebrities in the 100 Days of Stars event, she had already recorded her video.

Since she was just in time for the reward, Li Zijun thought about it and plastered her video all over the app. Within the two days that the event had been going on, every single ad on the Find Me app was about her.

This could also be considered a return of her love for Lin Jiali.

Naturally, she only dared to do so because she knew that Lin Jiali was an artiste under Su Yang's company. This way, the water wouldn't flow beyond the field.

Within those two days of publicity, Lin Jiali's fans in the Find Me app rose to about 1,000,000 users. They were active fans as well, not dead or zombie fans.

Lin Jiali became popular again throughout the country with the help of the Find Me app.

Even if she gave up acting, her looks alone would place her on the top. Many fans paid attention to her just because they found her to be pretty.

As the world outside roared, Su Yang was at home being a salted fish. He wasn't even using the salted fish mask this time. Instead, he was just being himself but that alone was enough for him to be considered a salted fish.

Since Little Deeny couldn't help him, his mental trauma had yet to be healed so he could only rest in bed.

Pool and Sanque went to the milk tea store this morning and under Su Yang's orders, Sanque began gradually passing on the work as he prepared to take over the health care company.

Bubbles was busy directing a movie. Her comeback yesterday along with her excellent directing skills have obviously put her in control of the entire crew. Not only did it speed up the shooting schedule, but the standard of the entire film was now much higher.

This morning, Bubbles also spoke with Su Yang, intending to catch up with him about her progress and remake of the scene that Director Wang had filmed the day before. After all, most of the first day was filled with Director Wang going head to head with Chen Min so they didn't shoot much.

Su Yang didn't interfere, but asked her and Producer Zhao to discuss the matter on their own, as the producer was the head of the crew.

Speaking of Director Wang, Su Yang is also looking forward to the results of his negotiations. The lawyer Little Deeny hired didn't know how much he could get out of Director Wang's or if he could make up for his losses.

Lying in bed was really boring so Su Yang used the Unknown Sticky Note to make a mobile phone. Then, he connected to the home wifi, intending to go online to read some nows.

As soon as he got online, he saw the news of the [In] company.

Su Yang read the information at a glance but was a bit confused. 'The [In] Company is offering a 10 million bounty as well? Are they braindead? Do they have a Little Deeny as well?'

Su Yang continued to search for news about the [In] Company and found that many users had indeed found the illegal content who were asking for their rewards.

Su Yang thought deeply. 'Hmm... It's very reasonable. How could an online platform like that be so cleanly audited?'

Su Yang continued to look for follow-up news and found one about the [In] Company's virtual currency compensation. When he read the news, he saw that the news also mentioned the Find Me app being suspected of using empty promises to trap the netizens before he could even react. Apparently, his company's Weibo account had went up in flames as well.

'Eh? The company's Weibo is up in flames?'

Su Yang opened the microblog and looked at it. It was as the news said.

A bunch of people were yelling and arguing there, asking the Find Me app to explain to them. There was no shortage of cybertroopers there as most of them were spouting nonsense.

Su Yang looked at a few of the most praised comments.

"We want the truth and we don't want to be played for monkeys!"

"Is the Find Me app also giving empty promises to trick the netizens? Is there actually no reward?"

"Even if your AI system is mature, you're still a fraudulent company. Garbage!"

Although he knew these were deliberate comments from cybertroopers, Su Yang's temper was hardly in check.

He checked his memory with [A Videotape To Make Up For Regrets] and found a recording of Li Zixuan sending him the Login ID and password for the company's official Weibo account. He then logged in to the account using the credentials.

What was he doing on Weibo, you ask?

Naturally, he was giving their comment a thumbs down.

If he wasn't that temperamental, he shouldn't be called Su Yang!

On Weibo, Su Yang didn't hesitate to send the first comment, "So what if we didn't prepare 10 million. What's the issue? You gonna bite me?!"

As soon as the comment was posted, their official microblog seemed to go into a standstill for more than a minute without a reply.

However, countless cybertroopers and netizens soon poured in as various replies were made.

"Holy crap! You're awesome! Why are you so an*l?"

"It's another temp to take the fall, isn't it?"

"Did the account get hacked?"

"How can you even say that?"

"If you're so unprepared, just admit you're a fraudulent company!"

"Honestly, this kind of reply is a bit damaging to your company..."

At first, the comments were from regular onlookers. However, he was soon attacked by the cybertroopers and the hecklers.

"Fraudulent company! Go f*ck yourselves!"

"Truly a fraud of a company! Junkware!"

"I'd be a fool to use your app again!"

Su Yang replied to their comments without hesitation. "You're a stupid d*ck!"
