Chapter 20 What Is This?

“Wei He, do you still remember my voice?” Wan Tingfu said coldly.

The familiar voice made Wei He’s heart instantly turn cold. He knew that he had gotten himself into big trouble and wished that he could slap himself.

He held his phone and smiled apologetically. “I remember, I remember. May I know why the leader of Southeast Media called?”

Wan Tingfu said sternly, “Are you still pretending to be ignorant? Do you think that no one knows what dirty things you’ve done?”

“The country is cleaning up the internet environment, and you still dare to commit crimes against the wind, huh?”

A few simple words made Wei He shiver with fear.

“About that, madam… We…”

“Cut the crap. Do you need me to teach you how to do it?”

“No… no need… no need, madam, I…”

“By the way, who paid you to defame ‘Battle Through the Heavens’?”

“It’s Lei Yong! Lei Yong from Changing Publisher, we…”

“If you know what to do, then do it, do you understand?”

“I… I understand… I…”

Before he could finish, the other side had hung up the phone. He didn’t even have the chance to say a whole sentence.

Wan Tingfu hung up the phone and proudly shook her head. Her long black hair was like silk blowing in the wind.

Uncle Bai gently put down the phone receiver and helplessly looked at the assistant beside him.

“I’m sorry, Secretary Zhu. Our lady is too capricious. I’m really sorry to disturb you at work.”

Secretary Zhu waved her hand shyly and said, “It’s okay. Miss Tingfu is concerned about the internet environment. She can also be considered to share the chairman’s worries.”

Wan Tingfu was the daughter of the chairman of Southeast Media. If she wanted to find the source of the unscrupulous marketing account, someone would give her the results without her even waving her hand.

Basically, when she gave the order, the technicians in the company traced the source immediately. Wan Tingfu ran to the company without stopping. She originally wanted to teach Live Water a lesson, but the other party was so wretched that she could not communicate with him.

Wan Tingfu decided to take a dump. She knew that when dealing with people like Wei He, if she didn’t give him a one-time warning, he would come back like a locust in summer.

And Wei He’s reaction made Wan Tingfu very satisfied.

She stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked down at the city scenery made of concrete and steel. Her smart eyes looked at a certain part of the city. She clapped her hands and smiled. “Mr. Shu, let’s see how you’re going to repay the favor you owe me!”

On the other side, Wei He’s mood was not as beautiful.

He seemed to have rusted his joints as he slowly placed his phone on the table. He still had not recovered from the conversation just now.

Seeing that he was like an idiot with his mouth half open, Amao asked suspiciously, “Brother Wei, what’s wrong? Did someone call to scold you?”

His heart was only filled with salary and bonus. He could not help but urge him again. “No matter what, Brother Wei, you can rest assured with the money in your pocket. Don’t bother with those blabbermouths. They don’t know anything except to scold people.”

“What do you know!” Wei He burst out and scolded, “You still think it’s pretty, don’t you? You still dare to walk around in front of me after creating such a big mess!”

Wei He’s eyes were wide open as he picked up the document on the table and smashed it on Amao’s head.

Amao was caught off guard and was stunned on the spot with a blank expression.

“What… What Happened to me?” he said aggrievedly.

Wei He gnashed his teeth and said, “Do you know that you’ve offended someone that you shouldn’t have offended? Why are you still standing here? Are you waiting for me to tell you what to do?”

Amao really didn’t know what had happened. He didn’t just stand there and do nothing when he went out. After a while, he asked with a bitter face, “What… What should I do?”

Actually, Wei He didn’t know what to do either. He had been scared out of his wits just now and only cared about agreeing. How would he know how much the other party wanted them to do? But in front of his subordinates, he could not say it out loud.

He thought for a moment and thought that the person who called was Southeast Media. His company’s misdeeds on the Internet could not escape the other party’s eyes. It was better for him not to have any wishful thinking. He had confessed everything that needed to be confessed.

If his account was gone, he could keep it. If his company was gone, he could open it again. If he went in, there would be nothing left.

Wei He thought for a moment, then picked up the pen on the table and threw it at Amao. He said angrily, “I’m feeding you for nothing! Delete all those articles that smeared Netland and apologize to ‘Battle Through the Heavens!”

“I’ll go right away! I’ll go right away!” Amao nodded repeatedly. He did not dare to stay any longer.

He did not know what that phone call had told Wei He, but from Wei He’s reaction, he knew that he was a big shot that Wei He could not afford to offend him.

If a small fry like him, were to be slightly negligent, he might become discarded cannon fodder.

His fingers trembled as he pressed the button to turn on the computer. First, he deleted the article that was defaming ‘Battle Through the Heavens’. Then, he contacted the head of the Internet Marketers and asked them to delete all the comments that should be deleted. Finally, he began to stir up all the ink in his stomach, he sincerely wrote the article that was used for apologizing.

At this moment, Lei Yong still did not realize the extent of the matter.

He lay comfortably on the office sofa and happily swiped his phone.

His assistant, Zhong Jie, came in with a cup of coffee and gently placed it where Lei Yong could reach it with a raise of his hand.

“How much sugar did you put in?” Lei Yong asked casually.

“One sugar cube.”

“Not enough, not enough!” Lei Yong sat up with his big belly in his arms. “I’m in a good mood today. Give me six more!”

Zhong Jie rolled his eyes in his heart. He thought to himself, “How good would it be if you just drank the sugar water? You only know how to act pretentious every day.”.

He went straight to the pantry to get the whole can of sugar cubes because he knew that although Lei Yong had declared to the public that he did not like sweet food, as long as he was in a good mood, half a bag of sugar could be rolled down.

Lei Yong took a sip of coffee. His thick and short legs were together, and he pried the tip of his toes proudly.

“Humph, the boy who made the wish still wants to play tricks with me. I’ll make him cry without any mercy! Have you written the letter of condolence that I asked you to write?”

“Yes,” Zhong Jie replied.

He took the tablet over. On it was the threat letter that he had written and handed it to Lei Yong.

“Dear Xu Yuan, Hello. I’ve read the news on the Internet recently. As your friend, I’m very sorry, but as I’ve reminded you before, you shouldn’t give up traditional literature to write online literature. After all, the environment on the internet is too chaotic. You might not know when someone will treat you as a thorn in the side. But my dear friend, I won’t hold any prejudice against you because of the negative news on the internet. I will protect you. We are still the closest partners.”

After reading this paragraph, Lei Yong said with disgust, “So mushy.”

“If we don’t write it more intimately, our intentions of threatening Xu Yuan will be easily discovered, so this is the only way,” Zhong Jie explained.

If Xu Yuan himself saw this article, it meant that Lei Yong wanted him to give up online writing and obediently return to the publishing house to create value. Otherwise, if he left Lei Yong’s protective umbrella, Xu Yuan might lose everything.

“Forget it, forget it. This will work too. Let him know who is the big tree that he should rely on!” Lei Yong sneered and continued to flip through Weibo messages.

But gradually, the corner of his mouth that was raised fell down.

Lei Yong stood up from the sofa in surprise. The coffee was spilled all over him. He stared at his phone and said in horror, “How could this be?”
