That night, #YueXinWasSuspectedOfBeingBullied became a trending topic. At the same time, #AixiPrivateSchoolIsACapitalist’sGame and
#AixiPrivatePrincipal&TeachersWereChanged were also trending.
The content was a complaint from the parent of a student who claimed to have been bullied by Yue Xin at Aixi Private School.
[Hello, everyone. I’m the parent of an ordinary student at Aixi Private School. I don’t know when it started, but my child came back from school every day and her mental state was not good. At first, we didn’t take it seriously. It was only when we bumped into the child changing clothes that we realized that her body was covered in bruises and some injuries even had scars. It was obvious that she had been beaten up. After being interrogated by the family, the child told us the truth. It turned out that the child was bullied by the Yue family’s child in school. The Yue family’s power is famous in the school. No matter what we do, we can’t provoke the Yue family. Otherwise, our children won’t be able to stay in school. The child was afraid of implicating the family, so she didn’t say anything. However, as parents, how can we let the child suffer so much alone? Therefore, we secretly went to the school.]
[Fortunately, the principal and teacher were reasonable people. They said that they would definitely deal with this matter seriously, but we didn’t expect that in the end, the principal and teacher had both resigned. We don’t understand what’s wrong with this world. Do ordinary people deserve to be bullied? Our child didn’t do anything wrong. She just wanted to study hard. We just wanted our child to be safe. We had no choice but to ask the media for help, hoping to give our child justice!]
Of course, this was only a small part of the content. The companies that were suppressed by Yue Lingchen back then had all joined forces to create a Yue Xin bullying case out of thin air. Speaking of which, the reason why they made up so blatantly was that they knew that the school did not have surveillance cameras and the Yue family could not produce evidence to refute their words. As long as the Yue family did not have evidence, the netizens would pity them if they pretended to be pitiful.
In this world, the weak would always receive more support at certain times because everyone tacitly agreed to a hidden rule that the strong should protect the weak. When you stood on the side of justice weak’s side, the brain would deceive you and tell you to stand up for the disadvantaged. Once you had a preconceived notion, you would never hear other voices.
The strong did not need to be protected. When these people tearfully talked about how powerful the Yue family was and how miserable they were, almost everyone would stand on their side. At this time, no matter how the Yue family explained or looked for witnesses to testify, they might be thought to have fabricated it with power. This was the horror of the Internet. The justice that netizens thought was easily used by people with ill intentions.
Under Yue Lingchen’s control, the trending topics related to Yue Xin and Zhou Rong did not rush too far. They were only at the end of the trending topics.
Instead, the topics that exposed the Yue family and Aixi Private School
dominated the top three trending topics.
In the #AixiPrivateSchoolIsACapitalist’sGame section, students kept speaking anonymously.
Someone said that she had once been stripped naked and thrown onto the rooftop.
Some said that he was asked to kneel in class, but the teacher ignored it.
Some people said that the first thing he did every day when he went to school was to be beaten. Sometimes, he would be beaten before school ended.
Some people said that he had been enduring the verbal violence of his classmates.
There was a mixture of truth and falsehood in these words. Some things really happened, while others were victims disguised by the perpetrator.
They were clearly the culprits, but they hid behind the Internet and tried to frame the Yue family.
Those teachers who had been expelled because of their morals were also among them. They took the opportunity to establish a lofty image for themselves.
They didn’t even dare to breathe loudly in front of Yue Lingchen, but they dared to distort the truth on the Internet and say that Yue Lingchen was a shameless person who couldn’t differentiate between black and white, bullied the weak, was arrogant, and condoned his family’s evil deeds. It really felt like the Internet was a lawless place.
Currently, the Yue family was hurled with scolding. In just a few hours, the share price of the company had plummeted. Meanwhile, Yue Lingchen sat in his office and quietly watched the bloodbath on the Internet. What he was most concerned about was Yue Xin’s situation.
His assistant asked, “CEO Yue, the PR draft is ready. It’s meant to lead public opinion to the school’s bullying itself. The person who posted it is Wang Ning. The Lu family has also provided help. This is the relevant information.”
Yue Lingchen said, “Yes, let’s play some news that’s disadvantageous to the Yue family. Keep a close eye on the live stream. Someone will look for them and clarify.”
The assistant asked, “Do you need to control the comments in the live stream?”
