'The boss is really stirring things up, letting ZARA and HM continue to fight like dogs, and Meiyou will get another wave of traffic!'
Song Sining's expression was complicated.
The current hacker incident had evolved into a major event of national concern, trending across the entire internet.
Meiyou's user base was continuously surging as a result.
If it continued for two more days, Meiyou's user count breaking 25 million would not be an issue!
With so many new users flocking in, Meiyou's revenue would also climb steadily!
This was all money, and Wang Yi wouldn't let it slip away.
However, HM and ZARA were in a tragic situation.
Song Sining couldn't help but exclaim,
"Wow! Boss, you've completely stopped acting human!"
Wang Yi smiled slightly,
"That's right, sometimes being a god is pretty good."
"..."
Song Sining was speechless,
"Honestly, give you an inch, and you take a mile."
"Sining, is that how you talk to your boss?"
"Hmph! Stinky little brother, you're not my boss if we don't meet!"
Song Sining said haughtily,
"And you have the nerve to say that, you dumped the entire Meiyou on me, what kind of boss does that!"
"Hahaha."
Wang Yi chuckled,
"I have something else to do, I'm hanging up, bye-bye."
Song Sining: "..."
"Someone sure runs fast, a hands-off manager!"
Song Sining sighed, preparing to continue her busy work.
Ever since meeting Wang Yi, she had been so busy she hadn't had time to go to school!
With that in mind, Song Sining called the dean:
"Dean, I'm sorry, I'm too busy here, this semester's classes..."
The dean smiled slightly,
"It's alright, Sining, the teachers all understand. For Business Administration majors, the best learning is always in practice, but most students don't have this opportunity."
"Since you have this opportunity, seize it, practice well, and learn from practice. Mr. Wang trusts you, so just manage Meiyou well!"
"Thank you for your support, Dean, thank you."
Song Sining was beaming, she had thought the school was pedantic and would block her graduation, forcing her to take a leave of absence!
The dean continued,
"As for the final exam, we will give you a special exam. It won't test textbook content, but your practical experience! I will organize all the professors in the department to form a judging panel and grade you! If your practical performance is excellent, then your final exam will be considered excellent!"
There was no alternative; Business Administration was a very broad subject, with over twenty professional courses, but they only scratched the surface, all theoretical.
Moreover, the material in textbooks was still based on the Western theoretical system of the last century, which had been outdated for many years!
To put it bluntly, it was long obsolete!
In fact, many majors were like this.
Why do many university students struggle to find good jobs after graduation?
It's not that they didn't study well, but that most of what they learned was not applicable.
And what they needed, they couldn't learn in school!
Doomed to tragedy!
Especially majors like Business Administration.
In response, some pedantic schools chose to play dead, continuing to rot, and reiterating outdated material verbatim.
While some schools kept pace with the times and made changes.
For example, in Wang Yi's previous life, many professors hired by the School of Economics and Management at his university were not famous PhDs or academic bigwigs, but rather executives from Fortune 500 companies like Haier and Tsingtao Brewery, former provincial general managers!
These executives' academic qualifications were not as high as academic bigwigs.
Their professional knowledge was also not as comprehensive as traditional professors.
But their management abilities were honed through countless battles and hardships, making them a hundred times better than those traditional professors who just read from textbooks!
The content they taught was based on textbook knowledge, primarily focusing on practical management experience, which greatly benefited Wang Yi!
Of course, these Fortune 500 executives were already well-off.
Coming to teach at a university wasn't for the few thousand yuan salary; it was purely for teaching and nurturing talent, and realizing their life's value.
"Thank you, Dean, I will not let you down!"
Song Sining was in a great mood; with no worries, she could focus on Meiyou!
"You're too kind, Sining, this is also valuable experience for us to learn from,"
The dean said with a smile.
Having Song Sining focus on practice as her final exam content was also intended to enhance the practical abilities of all professors and lecturers in the department.
After all, professors from World No. 1 University could hold positions in small companies or run their own small businesses, but they couldn't be presidents of star companies like Meiyou!
Of course, the practical management experiences Song Sining would share would also be some basic ones; truly confidential information, Song Sining would keep secret.
Soon, another piece of news rushed to the top of the hot search list:
[Failing to smear Meiyou, ZARA then hired hackers to invade Meiyou's servers, is ZARA truly lawless!]
This hot search once again caused a huge uproar.
The topic, which had quieted down for half the night, was reignited, attracting everyone's attention.
Thus, a new round of attacks and condemnations against ZARA began again.
This infuriated ZARA!
Davis's face turned green with anger,
"Damn HM, we've already stopped, and you still dare to escalate, damn it! Absolutely damn it!"
"Since you are unjust, don't blame me for being unkind!"
"Arrange HM's dirt to be pushed to the top! Push yesterday's negative topics about HM to the top!"
That's right, as soon as this hot search appeared, ZARA was furious and immediately assumed it was HM's doing!
They retaliated decisively and quickly!
After all, just last night, HM had made several moves to undermine them.
It seemed the other party was not giving up and still wanted to cause trouble.
Then let's cause trouble, who's afraid of whom!
So, another hot search rushed up:
[Ironclad evidence: the person who hired the hackers collaborated with HM multiple times!]
Then, partial screenshots were attached, directly confirming it.
Along with yesterday's negative hot search about HM, ZARA also spent money to push it to the top.
For a time, everyone was indignant and flocked to curse HM.
After all, the evidence released by ZARA looked too real.
So, HM was completely baffled.
Uris was even more furious, cursing,
"F***! Is Davis out of his mind? We've already ceased hostilities, and he's going full throttle again early in the morning!"
"Fine, ZARA, you framed us yesterday, and today you're going all out again, do you really think we're easy to bully? You won't get away without paying the price!"
Without any hesitation, HM's public relations department also went all out.
They pushed all of ZARA's negative hot searches to the top and even created some new ones.
Although every large enterprise has a public relations department, many times, crisis public relations are ineffective, and can even backfire.
There are countless examples of large enterprises whose public relations efforts have failed spectacularly.
Moreover, the opponent posted evidence, constantly slandering and guiding public opinion, so even HM's crisis public relations would be meaningless.
Even if their PR department spoke eloquently, netizens wouldn't believe it at all!
Since explanation was futile, they simply shifted the blame onto ZARA.
As long as everyone thought ZARA did it, HM would be indirectly whitewashed.
Shifting blame was the best PR!
What's more, ZARA was indeed responsible for this matter; HM was just being framed.
It was imaginable that from morning, the two giants clashed fiercely, accusing each other and shifting blame!
Finally, both sides genuinely became enraged, and the two presidents, Uris and Davis, personally entered the fray, pointing fingers at each other and lashing out!
It was very similar to the "diss battles" between several major brands in the tech industry years later!
In reality, genuine business warfare is this simple and crude!
Even Fortune 500 chairmen like Leibus and Master Zhou from 360 could personally step in and tear each other apart!
Not to mention the heads and executives of other brands!
Watching this scene, Wang Yi chuckled,
"Indeed, high-end business warfare is just this simple and unadorned!"
"Great, today's revenue is expected to hit 200 million, there's hope, haha!"
Although today's disturbance was caused by Wang Yi, ZARA thought it was HM's doing, and decisively went all out.
It's not that ZARA and HM are stupid; it's just easy to fall for such tricks!
Not just companies, even countries are like this.
For example, the long-standing feud between the two oil tycoons, back and forth, isn't it just like this?
It wasn't until the final intelligence reconciliation that everything became clear, and it turned out to be the work of a certain empire...
What Wang Yi did was merely apply this international tactic to business competition.
As for whether HM and ZARA would reconcile their intelligence?
Would they understand everything?
Wang Yi didn't care at all.
Even if that day came, it would be much later.
By then, Meiyou would have long enjoyed this wave of traffic, its user count would have grown, and the money would have been earned!
He didn't care at all whether they reconciled or knew the truth!
Moreover, they had repeatedly targeted Meiyou, so it was only natural for Wang Yi to trick them into fighting like dogs.
"Whether the Meiyou APP can reach 25 million users is all up to you!"
Wang Yi was in a happy mood.
Today was Saturday, so he decisively drove to Lin Shu's house.
On the way, he also bought a bouquet of flowers and a cake!
The little rich girl lacked nothing, but Wang Yi still wanted to give her abundant happiness.
Whenever he had time, Wang Yi would run to the little rich girl's house!
In addition, he bought a deck of playing cards.
It wasn't that Wang Yi liked to play cards, but for self-defense!
Now Wang Yi's net worth was growing higher and higher.
Although he was low-key and the security in the capital was good, one should always be wary of others!
If he encountered ruffians, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Therefore, bodyguards had to be hired, and they had to be reliable!
If the bodyguards were unreliable, it would be better to have none.
But such reliable bodyguards required layers of assessment, which Wang Yi would have to find slowly.
And bodyguards were not omnipotent; if real danger arose, they might not risk their lives for that little money.
Therefore, in addition to hiring reliable bodyguards, Wang Yi also needed his own means of self-preservation!
In his previous life, Wang Yi watched "God of Gamblers" and became fascinated by Chow Yun-fat using playing cards as hidden weapons, hitting every target and annihilating enemies.
Back then, as a child, Wang Yi completely believed it...
He also took the playing cards from home and practiced daily.
Wherever he went, he carried a deck of playing cards!
Calling it self-defense!
After two months of practice, Wang Yi could shoot playing cards with his hand, but lacked accuracy.
Wang Yi was about to give up, but he re-watched "God of Gamblers," renewed his faith, and practiced for another six months.
Finally, he gained accuracy, not hitting every target, but with little deviation.
However, the power was terrible!
Let alone killing someone, he couldn't even pop a balloon.
Wang Yi finally understood that movies were fake and had to give up.
From then on, the playing cards on Wang Yi disappeared, and his wish for self-defense also fell through.
Everything was just a youthful fantasy.
He thought that was the end of it, until many years later, Wang Yi was scrolling on Douyin and stumbled upon the streamer who performed flying card tricks.
It was truly infallible and incredibly powerful!
The playing cards he shot easily pierced soda cans.
Killing might not be possible, but injuring someone, absolutely no problem.
Thus, Wang Yi's long-dormant heart reignited, and he began a new round of practice.
After another two and a half years of diligent training, Wang Yi's flying card trick had also been perfected!
He could also use playing cards to injure people!
Today, Wang Yi bought a deck of playing cards just to practice and see if he was rusty.
Lin Shu's villa had plenty of rooms and a yard, which was convenient for practice.
If his flying card skills were still there, and he upgraded the cards' material, the lethality would increase!
At critical moments, even if bodyguards were unreliable or diverted, Wang Yi still had his flying card trick to protect himself.
It was best not to have to use such a method, but it was essential to have it.
Seeing Wang Yi drive in, Lin Shu, who was doing Pilates on the second floor, beamed with joy and skipped down:
"Xiaoyi, you're here, and you even bought me flowers and cake!"
"Here, my dearest girl!" Wang Yi said with a smile, handing her the flowers.
"So beautiful, I love them, thank you, Xiaoyi."
Lin Shu took the flowers, overjoyed,
"These are the first flowers Xiaoyi gave me, I'm going to record them in my diary!"
"Oh, you keep a diary too!"
Wang Yi was a little curious.
"I didn't use to, but ever since I met someone, I started writing one,"
Lin Shu said with a sweet smile.
That notebook recorded all the little moments between her and Wang Yi.
[Day 1: Driving practice is so hot! Chu Chuanjun is so annoying! But that guy who transferred in is a bit... different from others. He drove the third subject so well on the first try, really amazing! He's also handsome, not annoying, and humorous in conversation. It should be nice to make friends with him. After all, I don't have any male friends yet!]
[Day 2: Practiced driving all day today, didn't say many words. Hey, you're a bit aloof!]
[Day 3: We chatted quite a lot today, I feel like he knows so much, he doesn't seem like a high school senior. Really amazing! After the Subject 3 test tomorrow, we can get our licenses together! I wonder if he's free to go car shopping with me!]
[Day 4: Chu Chuanjun and he had a dispute, and he was still looking up what kind of injury counts as minor! He wanted to extort Chu Chuanjun! Hahaha, so interesting. As expected, he and I both smoothly got our licenses. Although he didn't have time to go car shopping with me, we added each other as friends! We can keep in touch now.]
[Day 5: He couldn't go with me, so I had to go car shopping with Mom.]
...
[Picked up the car, will take him for a drive tomorrow!]
[He's a liar, he tricked me into driving 33 kilometers to accompany him to the countryside to sell shoes! Big liar! But the barbecue in the small town was delicious, full of life.]
[Woke up early to accompany him to sell shoes, both sleepy and happy! The stewed pheasant was so good, we're friends now!]
[Chu Chuanjun went crazy and actually smashed his car! His emotions are so stable, not angry at all. Plus points! Mom said, when looking for a boyfriend, you must find someone who is emotionally stable! He even humorously comforted me! Plus points! Hee hee!]
[His car was smashed, I drove the truck to pick him up! Accompanied him to sell shoes!]
[He's good at everything, except he likes to look at bears. A pervert! But Lulu said, boys this age are all like that! Is that true?]
[Introduced my aunt's supplier to him, but it seems my aunt said some things she shouldn't have. I feel bad for him, I'm sorry, I didn't expect my aunt to be like that! What should I do?]
[My aunt came up with another bad idea, actually asking my mom to take me on a long trip to separate us.]
[Starting today, I won't see him for a long time. Unhappy!]
[Erhai Lake is so beautiful, I wish he were here...]
[He got into Beihang, hahaha, also on Xueyuan Road, so we can meet often in the future!]
[Lulu is right, my feelings for him are not just friendship, it seems I've crossed a line, it must be love! Shy!]
...
[Held hands, hugged, considered to be together!]
But on many subsequent pages, the content became simpler:
[He didn't come to see me again!]
[He still didn't come to see me again!]
