Chapter 364 - The Reversal Begins
Chapter 364: The Reversal Begins
Huasheng Entertainment: [Please follow the following procedure in an orderly manner. If the page is blank, it may be because the server is overloaded. Remember to wait patiently and keep hitting the refresh button.]
Netizens: [Could this have been setup by a tech guy overnight?]
[ Guy: I feel bitter in my heart, but I can’t say it out loud.]
[I thought there would be a reversal but it’s too late now. Is there really going to be a refund? Jiang Xingyi’s concert has gone completely cold?]
[My girlfriend is crying to me because she can’t go to Jiang Xingyi’s concert. Brothers, are you facing the same situation? How do I calm her down?]
[After being abandoned by Huasheng Entertainment, the next concert was immediately canceled. Jiang Xingyi is going to die, right?]
Since Huasheng Entertainment had said so, the concert would not go on anymore. Some fans who had bought tickets clicked on the link that Huasheng Entertainment had posted up.
Then they found…
A blank page?
They tried to refresh it over and over but it was still blank?
What was going on?
The official blog had said that there might be a blank page.
It had already been more than five minutes though but not a single line of words had appeared. Other than the blank page, nothing else was there. Wasn’t this a bit too much?
A bunch of people commented, [This website that Huasheng Entertainment is using is trashy, isn’t it? I’ve been trying to refresh it for five minutes but I don’t see a single word. I just want to ask, did anyone manage to get in? Are they trying to fool us?]
[They don’t want to support Jiang Xingyi’s concert, but they can’t bear to part with the money that they’ve already collected, so I deliberately created a fake thing. We won’t be able to get a refund even if we click on the link. In the end, there’s nothing there.]
“A big company like Huasheng wouldn’t do such a shameless thing, right? Even if we can’t get a refund today, we’ll still get a refund in the future. Why are you guys in such a hurry?”
“I’m just afraid that tomorrow they will tomorrow and then the day after that as well. There are so many tomorrows! Do big companies still have so many dirty tricks up their sleeves?”
…
Huasheng Entertainment.
In the office of Vice President Chen Chuanhui.
He slammed the table and said angrily, “What’s going on? Didn’t we already test it yesterday? What went wrong when we put it out today? Why can’t we refund the tickets? What are all of you doing?!”
At the table, someone said in fear, “President Chen, you saw it yesterday. There weren’t any problems. Before posting it on Weibo today, we even checked it and everything was working. I don’t know how but when we posted it, the website suddenly crashed…”
Chen Chuanhui raised his voice. “You don’t know? It’s already been so long and you’re still telling me you don’t know what’s the reason? Haven’t you found out the reason yet?!”
“The IT department is urgently trying to fix it but it looks like someone is deliberately going against us. The computers in the IT department are having problems…”
“What?”
Chen Chuanhui said in disbelief, “Did I hire a bunch of trash? They can’t even accomplish such a simple task! If this continues, all of you will be fired!”
That person wiped the sweat off his forehead. “President Chen, it’s really not that the IT department’s employees don’t want to do a good job. It’s just that the other party is very aggressive and their technology is better than ours. That’s why the IT department can’t fight them…”
Chen Chuanhui raised his eyebrows. “So you’re saying that Jiang Xingyi hired a few big-shot hackers to hack into all the computers of our IT department. Is that what you’re saying?”
That person stammered and did not dare continue.
“Then why do we still need you?”
Chen Chuanhui could not contain his anger. “I promised CEO Nie yesterday that I would handle this matter and then this happens. How do you expect me to report this to CEO Nie?!”
“If you don’t handle this properly, you all will have disgraced me!”
“President Chen, we will do our best…”
Chen Chuanhui slammed the table. “It’s not a try, it is a must! If you don’t fix it, you can all just resign!”
That person’s body trembled and he smiled bitterly. “Yes, sir.”
The computers in the IT department had been hacked. They heard that the other party was someone they could not afford to offend, and at this juncture, no one in the entire technology department was a match for him. How were they supposed to compete against these hackers?
According to President Chen’s words, he would definitely be losing his job.
The person in charge of the IT department received the order and was about to leave. However, at this moment, someone rushed in and said anxiously, “President Chen, it’s no good. Something has happened!”
…
After Huasheng Entertainment’s website had been blank for 15 minutes, the anger of the netizens gradually accumulated and was about to reach a peak.
At this moment —
An official blog that had not been in business for a very long time suddenly released a statement.
Feng Ling Group: [Sorry, we have contracted this concert.]
It also included a poster of Jiang Xingyi’s concert.
This poster was not the original one that had been posted by Huasheng Entertainment. It looked like it had been re-produced. It also had a few words: Ride the wind and waves, start a new journey.
Under the hashtag #JiangConcertCanceled, someone shouted, “Everyone, hurry up and look at Feng Ling’s official Weibo. There’s a new development!”
Ever since the creation of Feng Ling’s official Weibo, the number of Weibo posts they had could be counted with almost just two hands. One would know when one saw the bright number “11” on the front page.
In the past three years, only 11 Weibo posts had been posted.
Their online presence was so low that it made one’s hair stand on end.
However, although the official Weibo of the Feng Ling Group was less noisy, the number of people paying attention to it was not small.
This was because although the number of Weibo posts posted on the official Weibo was small, the content it contained was of high value!
The contents of the Weibo were simple, such as promoting a product, or a festival greeting, etc, but…!
Pay attention to this, but!
This was very crucial!
But under every Weibo post, there was a lottery!
It wasn’t some sort of product or voucher giveaway but cold hard cash!
As expected, the company was rich without a doubt.
Therefore, a lot of people paid attention to the Weibo of Feng Ling Group. Perhaps one day, this God of Wealth would want to give out money again?
Even if you didn’t win the lottery, it would be good to raise the denominator and reduce the winning rate!
Cheeky smiles.
Therefore, when Feng Ling Group posted on Weibo, it was immediately noticed by others.
#FengLingGroupPosted was the trending hashtag. Then, when everyone noticed the content of Feng Ling’s Weibo post, #FengLingContractsJiangConcert quickly surpassed the previous topic and jumped directly to the top of the trending list.
[Am I seeing things? This is Feng Ling Group, right? The super-rich Feng Ling? They want to sponsor Jiang Xingyi’s concert? ]
[You’re seeing things. They’re not sponsoring, okay? They’re contracting! It means they’ll service be in charged of the whole concert!]
[Feng Ling Group is really rich. Wait, this Weibo post seems to have a lottery as well… ]
Everyone: ???
Everyone: !!!
As expected, the first comment that was posted on the Weibo post was the official Weibo comment: [The next 20 people to comment on this post will split one million yuan. The lottery will be held in the early hours of the day in two days time.]
