Chapter 372: Chapter 371: 371: The Hint is Too Obvious_1

Tang Zhou, already stationed at the JunStar Weibo headquarters, jumps up upon seeing this on the live broadcast, slapping his thigh: ” Just one word, brilliant!”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Leng Chenmo is sitting leisurely beside him, and upon hearing this, he slightly curves the corner of his lips: “It seems like two words. Was your math taught by a P.E. teacher?”

“None of your business!”

Tang Zhou, excitedly gesticulating, says to his office employees: “Everyone, move! The video of the Police Department’s press conference, pause it at my brother Ye’s statement, push it out across the entire network, and send it to every phone!”

A puzzled employee asks: “But they haven’t found the real culprit yet.”

Tang Zhou strides over: “Are you dumb? The impact is much bigger if they haven’t announced who the real villain is. Let netizens guess. There are only a few people competing with my brother Ye for the presidency. This way, everyone is a suspect, except for my brother Ye!”

“Get cracking, keep a close watch on Weibo, guide public opinion, label Lawson Perry and the Vice President as suspects. Who ever is being suspected by the netizens, push them to the top, over and over again!”

“Although there is not enough evidence, we at JunStar Weibo need to express our anger. Pin these two people to the second and third position on the trending search. The first spot should only belong to the video of my brother Ye refuting the accusations! I want the whole country to know that my brother Ye is even more wronged than DuanEr!”

After dropping these words on the press conference, Ye Shiting leaves, causing a stir on the internet.

Public reaction is like a heavy snowstorm. The public opinion was quickly guided towards the other presidential candidates, and the abuse on the internet was as overwhelming as a snowstorm. Ye Shiting, who was earlier vilified, has become even more idolized in people’s minds. The calls for reinstatement of Ye Shiting’s presidential candidacy are getting louder and louder…

The Perrys, Lawson Perry turns off the TV.

Then, he lays back on the sofa, rubbing his temples.

Upon reviewing the online discourse, NanYin frowns and says: “Sir, the rhetoric is not in our favor. JunStar Weibo and the speculations regarding you and the Vice President are now the second and third trending search, it has given netizens a bad hint. This is too suggestive, pointing directly at you two. Unfortunately, now is the time when the netizens are most irrational and easy to incite. Ye Shiting, now unable to participate in the presidential election, is trying to pull you and the Vice President down with him!”

The Pan’s residence.

Presumably thrown into chaos by the live broadcast, Vice President Pan Tenglong drops his teacup on the floor with a “bang.”

The police have already identified the suspects, causing the Vice President to lose his cool: “Have you handled this thing cleanly?”

The adjutant confirms: “Don’t worry, they won’t trace it back to you. But the current online opinion is unfavorable, the Ye’s family is monopolizing Weibo, directing suspicion at you and Lawson Perry. Now netizens are clamoring online, demanding the reinstatement of Ye Shiting’s candidacy.”

Vice President Pan snorted: “The netizens don’t even know that Ye Shiting has been stripped of his political rights, and the real reason behind his disqualification from the election. Since the real culprit has not been announced, everyone is suspect. Lawson Perry and I, we are still at the same starting line. As long as I become president, this matter will never be traced back to me. It doesn’t matter if Ye Shiting clears his name, it’s just wishful thinking that he could regain his presidential candidacy.”
