Chapter 164: Chapter 164: The Circle’s Contrarian
The notice was so urgent that Wang Henli contacted his editor as soon as he left Mr. Qian’s house.
He’d collaborated with Li Ran many tis. It was Li Ran who devised the plans that they used to take care of his many potential rivals.
Wang Henli: ’Jiang Jiujiu.’ Ranran, keep an eye on this strear. We’re going after her this ti.
Wang Henli: You’d better draft a detailed plan.
Li Ran: ?
Li Ran: Okay.
Li Ran: Did Mr. Qian call you over just for this? Co to my place tomorrow morning, and we’ll discuss it in detail.
Wang Henli: Mmm.
After ending the call, Li Ran imdiately started drafting a plan.
In an era where your terminal was your identity and nearly the entire population surfed the Star Network, what was the most effective way to ruin soone?
The answer, of course, was public opinion.
Especially when that person was using the network to make a profit—once they were part of that ecosystem, public opinion beca all the more terrifying.
From Li Ran’s perspective, Jiang Qiuqiu was full of holes. Not showing her face? She was probably hideous. The topics in her community were all over the place, and so things were so coincidental they looked like publicity stunts.
The glowing reviews and videos raving about how delicious the food was were just too exaggerated. Only soone who’d never eaten at a revolving restaurant or had a truly good al would leave such cringey, over-the-top comnts.
If it was that exaggerated, they must be paid comnters.
The list of issues like these went on and on.

In Jiang Qiuqiu’s foodie community.
Everyone was still cheerfully discussing the fact that Million Sister had spent a million Star Coins on one of Juju’s dishes yesterday.
It was mostly good-natured teasing, of course, but the conversation was also full of anticipation for today’s stream!
[It’s stream day! I wonder what Juju is going to make today!]
[I’m so excited too! She hasn’t been posting the nu for the next stream lately, and I feel like sothing’s missing, boohoo.]
[Even if she posted it, we probably couldn’t get a slot anyway. I’m numb to the pain at this point.]
[Speaking of which, I wonder if anyone here tonight will manage to get one of the real-world delivery slots!!!]
[30 out of 200 million... The odds are worse than your spiritual power suddenly mutating. Who knows.]
As they talked, the conversation inevitably turned to i Lin.
[We might not be able to get one, but the legendary Million Sister from our community definitely can.]
[!]
[So jealous (sarcasm). If I had that much money, I could be a professional food critic every day too.]
[Hey, be grateful. At least she’s not auctioning them off. This way, we still have a sliver of a chance!]
A chorus of "That’s true" and " 1" followed in the comnts below.
All the idle chat was very harmonious, until—
The appearance of an ignorant troll.
[Picking 30 people out of 200 million? What kind of giveaway is that! Who cares if it’s not an auction? In the end, the rich are still the ones who get the food. Can a poor person ever get a taste?]
[You people have no backbone! This strear is just stringing you all along, can’t you see? It’s just one free dish, and this whole community is tripping over themselves to thank her. And a million Star Coins for a spot! What kind of moron spends a million Star Coins on that? I bet it’s just a publicity stunt by the strear herself!]
[???]
[What is this nonsense?]
[Where did this guy suddenly pop up from?]
[@Terry is a wolf, admin, get in here and delete this post!]
[@the post above So this community is just an echo chamber? You can only say nice things and not the truth?]
[Are you an idiot...?]
So people jumped in to reply, trying to explain Jiang Qiuqiu’s reasoning and get the agitated newcor to understand.
But she was completely stubborn, just repeating the sa few argunts no matter what anyone said.
