Chapter 1427: President Ren Acting Silly
Chapter 1427: President Ren Acting Silly
Manager Zhang felt especially bitter at this moment. If he had known this would be the result, he would never have spoken up. But who could he blame but himself for being foolish and getting used by these people.
However, as these people said, if he could find proof that Xu Ke plagiarized, the chairman would definitely promote him. At this time, Headquarters was in the middle of promotions. If there was any evidence that could be key to his promotion, this issue would definitely be prioritized.
So although Manager Zhang was troubled, he kept this matter in mind, thinking that if it resulted in a promotion, his future would be bright.
Now he wasn’t worried anymore and believed he could surely find evidence of plagiarism. After all, with so many people claiming it, there had to be some truth to it, right?
But when Manager Zhang looked closely at the comments on Weibo, he found they had all changed. Everyone was suddenly praising Xiao Group’s branch’s animation, making Manager Zhang feel as if the sky had fallen. How could this be?
Weren’t those netizens criticizing Xiao Group’s animation just a while ago? What happened now? They started praising it. This couldn’t be true; it had to be the work of paid commentators hired by Xiao Group’s branch. Otherwise, how could all the comments be positive?
Manager Zhang comforted himself and opened the animations. But after watching both, his face fell. The genres weren’t even the same; how could they be plagiarized? Manager Zhang began to panic.
What is going on? Didn’t everyone say it was plagiarism? But now, there’s no news at all.
Manager Zhang went through all the materials but found no news at all.
"Oh dear, isn’t this Manager Zhang? Have you found the answer after searching all morning? Besides, the chairman’s waiting for your good news. Don’t let him down."
An employee who usually had a bad relationship with Manager Zhang walked up and mocked him. Hearing the mockery only made Manager Zhang more frustrated.
This employee had arrived only two months ago and was trained by Manager Zhang himself, yet now he’s stuck in the mire.
Everyone was waiting to see his downfall. But why did everything turn out differently than he expected, to this extent?
"Don’t worry, I will find the evidence. Besides, you don’t need to be so concerned right now."
Manager Zhang said through gritted teeth, "You just want to see me make a fool of myself, but even my jokes are beyond you."
The person coldly laughed and said, "What’s with the act? You’re just holding onto a bit of dignity. By the end of the day when you can’t deliver, you’ll probably be leaving the company. Watching you leave actually makes me somewhat pity you. I’ve already researched thoroughly; this whole matter was pure hype by Yu Group; there was no plagiarism. No matter how hard you try, you won’t find evidence."
Though angry, Manager Zhang knew this person was right, and no matter how he looked, the evidence couldn’t exist since there was no plagiarism to begin with.
Meanwhile, Xu Ke, seeing all these comments online, knew that the bigger this situation got, the more recognition their animation would receive.
At this moment, Ren Liang couldn’t get a reply and was sweating bullets.
"Forget it, since things have come to this, might as well go all in."
Ren Liang then bought a few small accounts online and started posting positive reviews about Xiao Group. Many people were doing this, so Ren Liang blended in without being noticed, and the positive reviews became a heated topic.
However, Xu Ke was speechless. Couldn’t Ren Liang come up with a less obvious name?
The Advancing President Ren?
It’s surprising the netizens didn’t catch on with such an obvious name, probably because they’re too busy leaving positive comments.
Ren Liang couldn’t hold back. Didn’t the president realize he was losing face by getting involved?
Gradually, some netizens noticed the name "The Advancing President Ren," which sounded exactly like the CEO of Light and Shadow Company under Xiao Group. This person spoke with strong rhetoric and used many technical terms.
"I kind of feel like this is the real account of the Light Shadow Group’s CEO. The CEO wouldn’t be so childish to face all these online trolls alone, right?"
"And what’s with this obvious name? I was a bit suspicious, but after hearing you all, I feel like it’s President Ren himself, especially since this is Light Shadow Group under Xiao Group, is the CEO really doing this all by himself?"
"This makes me feel like the CEO of Light and Shadow Company is a bit silly."
Suddenly, everyone’s attention was on this ’Advancing President Ren,’ wondering who he was.
And at this point, Ren Liang’s face turned black; what were these netizens doing?
He just wanted to participate in comments and promote Xiao Group. Did they have to dig up his entire background?
Yet these netizens were so exceptional that no matter how well Ren Liang tried to hide, they dug out his background and posted it in the comments. Now, Ren Liang couldn’t fight back.
"Ahem, wasn’t I just here to help you guys out? I didn’t expect you’d recognize me right away. I didn’t hide well, so I hope you can forgive me."
Upon seeing Ren Liang boldly owning up to his identity, many netizens felt much better. Had he continued to deny, who knows what they might have said.
"Oh wow, I didn’t expect the Light and Shadow Group CEO to admit it so openly. I had my keyboard ready, but now I feel like I was a bit too hasty."
"Yeah, I was all set to criticize the Light and Shadow Company’s CEO, but since he admitted it so openly, I’m at a loss for words. Yet, this CEO seems to have a lot of free time though."
"Is this simple-minded person really able to create such passionate anime? I doubt it, but then again, as it’s from Xiao Group’s branch under Light and Shadow Company, it must be Xiao Group’s doing."
At this point, Ren Liang was speechless. He thought these netizens would stir up some waves, but they just tore him down from head to toe.
Can’t a CEO be concerned about company developments? Does it mean they have to stay in their office? I really don’t understand what these current netizens are thinking.
