Chapter 2424 - 2225: I Should Get You a Bodyguard Too_3

"Mr. Song, what you're saying sounds like a threat to me. Jin Haicheng brings me nearly ten million in revenue annually. To keep Jin Haicheng, I can put up twenty million. I don't know what kind of assets you have, but don't compare your entire assets to my annual income." Boss Jin said to Song Xiaodong.

"Boss Jin, go ask around about me, Song Xiaodong from Minghe, then call me back." Song Xiaodong hung up the phone directly.

"Hire more people. I want Jin Haicheng's name to be so dragged through the mud online that no one dares to mention those three characters!" Song Xiaodong gritted his teeth and said to Xuanxuan.

"You're really going all out!" Xuanxuan asked Song Xiaodong.

"It's just right that the box of gold bars Wang Gang gave me hadn't been spent yet. I must completely ruin Jin Haicheng's reputation!" Song Xiaodong said.

"If you want to totally ruin her reputation, just cursing her won't work. You need to find some dirt on her." Xuanxuan said to Song Xiaodong.

"What kind of dirt?" Song Xiaodong asked.

"Think about it, her character is so bad, she surely hasn't just been doing wicked things for a day or two. Things like stealing roles, being pretentious, using her position unfairly, poor character—we should find someone to dig up her past scandals and then pay some media to write articles that tarnish her. She's not even a particularly popular top star, she'll definitely collapse in a few days." Xuanxuan said to Song Xiaodong.

Song Xiaodong nodded as he listened, and once Xuanxuan finished, he opened his mouth and said, "I couldn't tell, you're really vicious."

"How can this be vicious? I'm coming up with solutions for you, and you say that about me!" Xuanxuan pouted.

"We'll proceed as you suggested!"

For a moment, the online trolls were divided into two factions. Jin Haicheng Entertainment Company's trolls cursed Kong Siman, while Xuanxuan's hired trolls cursed Jin Haicheng. Neither side yielded, leading to a stalemate, various news sites, forums, blogs—anything related to Jin Haicheng was topped with thousands of replies, layer upon layer of curses, unsightly to behold.

This kind of large-scale troll war rarely occurred online, leading people to speculate on Kong Siman's background, but came up empty-handed.

Kong Siman had only just entered the Su Family; previously she had been with Wang Gang. Someone of Wang Gang's level, the people in online news media simply didn't have the authorization or ability to investigate.

Xuanxuan personally contacted tabloid reporters to specifically gather all of Jin Haicheng's past scandals, then hired the most influential media to publish various articles on Jin Haicheng's negative news. The battle between fans and trolls quickly determined a winner. Jin Haicheng's fans and the hired trolls from Jin Haicheng Entertainment couldn't withstand the offensive by the trolls Xuanxuan paid heavily for, and the online narrative quickly swung one way—all clear and uniform in slandering Jin Haicheng for lacking ethics and integrity.

Jin Fulong, after receiving Song Xiaodong's call, did go online to check Song Xiaodong from Minghe. The search results shocked Jin Fulong, who picked up the phone, trembling, to dial back Song Xiaodong's number.

"M-Mr. Song?"

"You've found my name? Know who I am now?" Song Xiaodong asked abruptly.

"I know now, Mr. Song."

"Now tell me how much you're planning to spend to save Jin Haicheng?" Song Xiaodong asked.

"Mr. Song, it was indeed our fault on this matter. I'll have Jin Haicheng apologize to Miss Kong right away." Jin Fulong wiped the sweat off his forehead and said to Song Xiaodong.

"Now you think of having her apologize to us? Give me those two million you mentioned a moment ago, I'll compete with you. However much you spend, I'll match it!" Song Xiaodong yelled at Jin Fulong.

Frightened, Jin Fulong begged Song Xiaodong, "Mr. Song, I'm truly sorry. I didn't know you were Mr. Song, nor did I know Miss Kong was your person. If I had known, I would have had Miss Jin stay far away from Miss Kong!"

"Too late! Jin Haicheng broke the contract first and hit people afterward. The next day your company still hired people to slander ours. I want to ensure Jin Haicheng never becomes a star again!" Song Xiaodong said to Jin Fulong.

"Please, Mr. Song, our company has just this one money tree. If Mr. Song lets it be cut down, how will we survive in the future? Mr. Song, please have mercy. If it doesn't work, I'll have her spend a night with you, won't that suffice? We'll pay, we'll apologize. How about that?" Jin Fulong asked Song Xiaodong.

"No way!" Song Xiaodong hung up the phone again.

In the hotel, Miss Zhang was arguing with Jin Haicheng.

"I've been telling you this for a while now, but you never listened. Do you think you've offended ordinary people? You only care about the brand, Cuishengyuan Herbal Tea, because it pays well. Don't you see how massive the Su Corporation is, behind Cuishengyuan Herbal Tea? A powerful dragon cannot overpower a local snake. You're filming in Minghe now, and then when Minghe's company asked you to be their product spokesperson, you broke the contract. Don't you fear they'll deal with you behind the scenes? Well, now you know how capable they are!" Miss Zhang threw her tablet directly at Jin Haicheng who was sitting on the bed.

"It's just a big boss with a bit of dirty money, what's so impressive? Boss Jin will think of a way!" Jin Haicheng picked up the tablet Miss Zhang had thrown on the bed and opened it. All over it were comments and articles slandering her.
