Chapter 696: 696 The provocation you wanted—has arrived! It wouldn’t just be enough, it would likely be explosive. After all, following Shi Lan’s high-profile announcement to promote the real-name system on the internet, the external voices never ceased, and the waves of mockery never stopped. The outside world naturally assumed that Shi Lan was just all talk, spouting big words—with no one considering she’d be preparing so many projects behind the scenes. “My Weibo trending search, combined with Peak’s offline promotion and the radio broadcast’s warming up, how could this not be enough support?” “Indeed, it’s enough,” Xiao Yue laughed, “You, you provoke without any hesitation.” “I’ve always been so, haven’t you all gotten used to it?” Big Boss Shi said proudly. In Shi Lan’s world, she was second to none, “All those trashy fish and crabs, riddled with pain points—although they hide behind their keyboards, they lose their composure the minute they’re poked. I love seeing these people hopping mad.” Alright, in that instant, everyone at the table experienced the thrill that Shi Lan felt. “Understood, now that we have the plan, I’ll follow up on the details,” Xiao Yue said. “Big Boss, here’s the basic layout for the anti-cyberbullying official website from the past two days, could you take a look?” At that moment, Sun Ling brought over her laptop. As soon as Shi Lan glanced at the sketch, spotting a Jing character beneath it, her lips curved into a smile, and she asked Sun Ling, “Jing Yizhou’s work?” “You could tell,” Sun Ling propped her chin and said, “He’s professional, so I went to him, this one’s for the public.” “Is that so? For public use, you probably don’t know where he is or what he’s doing now, do you?” Shi Lan asked her, interest piqued. Dr. Sun was visibly uncomfortable with Shi Lan’s question, her body tensing up as she asked, “Should I know that?” “Not necessarily,” Shi Lan swallowed the rest of her thoughts, “It’s just that boy seems a bit pitiful, let’s go back to the sketch. What do you think of his work?” “I find it uncomfortable—from the color scheme to the layout and content, it all feels very extreme, perhaps due to his experiences abroad. I can’t really accept this aesthetic,” Sun Ling expressed. Xiao Yue and Tang Ze also took the opportunity to glance at the official website production. “Jing Yizhou understands my needs better than you do,” Shi Lan declared, “Although the layout is fancy, it has a clear hierarchy. Do you know why he chose these colors? Because the website we’re creating isn’t meant to comfort people. If it isn’t extreme and striking, it won’t catch anyone’s attention at all. You need to be clear about the purpose of this website—it’s not to soothe people’s eyes.” Sun Ling looked down at the sketch again and then nodded in complete agreement. She thought to herself, when Jing Yizhou insisted on this version last night, she was sure it wouldn’t pass in front of the Big Boss. Now she realized she’d been looking in the wrong direction. “Jing Yizhou’s design is also an attitude I want to convey to you all. Once we really target the keyboard warriors, you are bound to experience discomfort. The consequences aren’t clear for now, but they could potentially affect your future, so if you want to back out, now is your chance,” Shi Lan explained. “Once Peak’s promotion goes live, all of us will be on the grill, and it will truly be hard to get off the tiger then. I’m giving you one last chance to think it over, there’s no turning back once the arrow is shot.” Ultimately, no one backed down. These people might be a bit foolish, not the brightest, but each had their strengths and were loyal to a fault—the type to count money for someone even after being sold out. Of course, it was because of them that Big Boss Shi’s life had gradually developed some warmth. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝘯𝘦𝘵 After leaving Jinlan No.1 Courtyard, Dr. Sun fell into deep thought on her way back. Because she had a feeling that the Big Boss had more to her words just now. This thought prompted her to text Jing Yizhou: “Where on earth are you?” Unexpectedly, Jing Yizhou’s reply came in a flash: “I’m really hurt, my dear sister… only now do you care where I am.” Sun Ling: “Less nonsense.” Jing Yizhou: “Photo.jpg, can you guess where I am?” The photo was of a seascape. Jing Yizhou wasn’t in the frame, but there were many Westerners strewn on the beach, so Sun Ling believed him, mistaking the place for some Western beach, completely forgetting the time difference with America. Sun Ling: “Your lifestyle, sir, is beyond our reach. The Big Boss is very satisfied with your website draft, keep working on it.” Jing Yizhou looked at her reply and smirked a little to himself. His sister was indeed easy to deceive. The radio station slot was set for Saturday evening’s prime time at eight. The program name was changed from “Internet Bullying Heart Sound” to “The Silent,” because Shi Lan felt this name would strike at the heart even more deeply. After everything was settled, Shi Lan prepared the promotional copy. @An Lan: “Keyboard warriors, the provocation you’ve been asking for—has arrived! The first-ever cyberbullying program ‘The Silent’ is coming to @Star Dawn Radio this Saturday at eight. Here, I will reveal the true face behind your screens.”
