The world is broken, the cubs mend it

There were many families bringing their children here for picnics on the weekend. There were about a dozen kites flying in the sky, and theirs was the most special.

"Uncle, your chicken is so lifelike!"

The little boy was holding a kite with a Pleasant Goat print in his hand and pointing at their kite and praising it.

"What chicken? It's a phoenix!"

Lu Zheng glanced at him and corrected him, "Can't he see those lifelike feathers behind him?"

He admitted that the phoenix was not good-looking, but he would never admit that it was a chicken.

"This is obviously a chicken, uncle, don't fool yourself."

He had read the mythological story, and this was clearly a pheasant with a colorful tail.

"Hey! You..." Lu Zheng looked at the kite in his hand, then asked, "Do you like Pleasant Goat very much?"

“Yes, I like it very much.”

The innocent little boy nodded and pointed to the Pleasant Goat pattern on the kite to show him.

"You wait…"

Lu Zheng went to the stall in front and bought three skewers of lamb, then brought them back and gave one to the boy.

"Is it tasty?"

"good to eat!"

The little boy nodded. This uncle is quite nice!

"Do you know what kind of meat this is?"

"do not know!"

There were a lot of spices sprinkled on the skewers, and the boy couldn't taste them at the first bite.

Lu Zheng pointed at his kite and said with a sly smile, "This is charcoal-grilled Pleasant Goat."

"..."

The little boy stared blankly at the kebab in his hand, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he started crying with his mouth open.

"Why are you crying?"

The boy's parents rushed over immediately, looked at the skewers in his hand, then looked at Lu Zheng and were about to make trouble when they heard him shouting.

"Mom, I ate Pleasant Goat, and I feel so sad. Woo ah... Pleasant Goat... is really... so delicious."

"..."

Lu Zheng, who had done something bad, evacuated the scene with his daughter in his arms and found a quiet place to set up a tent.

"Dad, you bully the kids."

Yuanyuan stood aside holding the kite in her hand, looking at Lu Zheng who was laying out the mat, and raised her hand to poke his shoulder.

That day she brought her handmade kite to kindergarten, and everyone said it was a colorful chicken.

"Really? I even treated him to skewers of meat!"

Lu Zheng glanced at her. This was just a teasing at most, and it wasn't a bad thing.

"Of course, the little kid was crying."

Yuanyuan nodded heavily. The teacher said that it was wrong to bully children.

"Lu Yuanyuan, where are you from?"

Lu Zheng found that she was a little unlovable recently. Her sense of justice was too strong and it hurt her old father.

"Of course I'm on Dad's side!"

"Did not see it…"

"Dad's eyesight isn't very good at such a young age!"

"Lu Yuanyuan! What are you mumbling about again?"

"I said I'd go get Dad's tools!"

Yuanyuan quickly stood up to get the barbecue rack, and her whole body swayed from side to side due to the pressure.

"..."

Lu Zheng took the things from her hand, arranged them and added charcoal.

It's a good thing for a child to have a strong sense of justice. She also has bad points in herself. She has the ability to distinguish right from wrong and will not learn all of them.

Lu Zheng never thought that he was a perfect father. Everyone has flaws.

They put the skewers they brought from home on the grill and started to brush them with seasoning when they were almost done.

After eating and drinking, the father and daughter lay down in the tent to sleep, and the hot sunshine shone in, making them warm.

evening--

Lu Zheng packed up all his things and stuffed them into the trunk. As soon as he closed the car door, the phone in his pocket rang.

"Mr. Lu, this is bad. Please check the information online."

The company’s official blog was topped in the trending searches:

Shengshi Literature withholds author royalties

Shengshi Literature Website Yin-Yang Contract

Shengshi Reading Software inserts phishing software ads to steal users' private information

……

There were many entries with the suffix, and in less than an hour, the official blog was flooded with more than 10 comments.

Event 1: An author posted his own and another author’s reading data and income online.

He felt it was unfair that the income from similar data was so different, and accused Shengshi of swallowing his royalties.

Event 2: A netizen posted a screenshot on an online platform, which turned out to be a phishing advertisement. After clicking on it, the bank card was emptied.

This picture is very blurry, but the other party said that Shengshi was suspected of committing a crime and demanded compensation.

For a time, users were in a panic, and some people who claimed to be the authors came out from nowhere to provide evidence.

Lu Zheng asked everyone to go to the company to hold an emergency public relations meeting.

The online public opinion was in an uproar, especially the second one, which was about the leakage of user information, which had a huge impact on the website.

His opponents also started to throw dirty water on him and made sarcastic comments under the official Weibo account.

After the resolution, the company first responded to the first point and provided the income details of the two authors.

Although the number of clicks between the two authors is not much different, the advertising reading data is very different.

The click-through rate is just the number of times readers click on it, and clicking on it does not mean reading.

Both books have 100 clicks, one has 50 reads and the other has only 10 reads. So the revenues are naturally different.

Regarding the second rumor, the company first issued a statement, emphasizing that user information is kept absolutely confidential and there is no leakage.

A lawyer's letter was then sent and the police were called to assist in the investigation of the netizen who claimed that his bank card had been emptied. If the truth was not confirmed, he would be sued for spreading rumors.

Unexpectedly, the man deleted the post and cancelled his account, but the company will never let it go and will definitely bring him to legal sanctions.

Although the incident was handled through public relations, public opinion did not subside.

As a result, many people uninstalled the reading software, causing considerable losses to the company and also shaking the author community.

This incident happened too suddenly. So many people suddenly appeared to target Shengshi. It is obvious that someone is manipulating public opinion behind the scenes.

The company's revenue has been declining for several days, and the lost users have been diverted to several other companies. There are also many groundless rumors on the Internet.

"Mr. Lu, we have found the person who released the public opinion..."

The secretary stood beside him holding documents, seeming to be hesitant to speak.

"who is it?"

Lu Zheng rubbed his temples. He hadn’t slept well in the past few days and had dark circles under his eyes.

"The author who questioned the company's embezzlement of royalties is a part-time worker. His main job is the head of Lu's marketing department.

The first batch of marketing accounts that started spreading public opinion were all from Lu’s entertainment company.

The person who spread the rumor has now sent us a private message asking for reconciliation. Someone instructed him to do so, but the traces of the anonymous contact have been wiped clean.”

The secretary observed his expression and dared not breathe.

No one could accept finding out that the people who framed him were his own people.

"I understand. Go ahead and get busy."

Lu Zheng took the information she brought him without showing any unusual emotion.

This wasn't the first time he was backstabbed, and he was no longer sensitive to it.

At the end of the month, Lu Corporation held a shareholders' meeting, and he sat to the left of Lu Chao.

Lu Chao looked at Lu Zheng several times, thinking that he would lose his temper with him regardless of the occasion like he did before.

But from beginning to end, apart from expressing his own ideas on the content of the meeting, he did not say a word extra.

Others seemed to want to laugh at their jokes as well, casting their gazes at them from time to time.

After the meeting, the shareholders left one by one, but the father and son tacitly stayed.

The empty conference room fell silent, and Lu Zheng finally turned his gaze to him: "Don't you want to explain?"

"I was not aware of this matter in advance, and the marketing accounts below were just jumping on the bandwagon and making up stories. These people have now been fired."

After public opinion fermented, Lu Chao also read the news and immediately ordered those marketing accounts to delete the videos.

"What about Chen Yan? How are you going to deal with her?"

Lu Zheng looked at him avoiding the main issue and there was a mocking look in his eyes.

"What does this have to do with Chen Yan? You should look at the matter calmly and don't bring up personal grudges."

Lu Chao subconsciously stood on his wife's side, believing that he was implicating innocent people.

"Yang Kai, the team leader of the company's marketing department, is Chen Yan's cousin. You should be familiar with him, right?"

Lu Zheng felt that it was him, not himself, who needed to calm down.

"What does this prove?"

Lu Chao had an impression of this person. Chen Yan once mentioned to him that since she had followed him for so many years, it was only right for him to promote her relative.

"He is the author of that. He has stopped updating now. There are also these recordings. Please listen to them before you speak."

Lu Zheng asked someone to contact the marketing accounts that were fired, and after giving them some benefits, they confessed everything.

Although Chen Yan's name was not mentioned directly, all the criticisms were directed at her.

After listening to the recording, Lu Chao's chest rose and fell slightly, his clenched fingers turned white, and his deep eyes seemed to be questioning.

"Are you still going to accuse me of making up the recording? Please tell her that I won't let her off this time."

Lu Zheng picked up the recorder and left, not interested in listening to his irrelevant words.

"What do you want to do?"

Lu Chao looked at him anxiously, but unfortunately the other party did not stop.

Of course, Chen Yan didn't hear this sentence.

After the incident was exposed, she was just scolded, and it was not a big deal and no damage was caused.

As time goes by, the impact gradually fades.

The company has placed advertisements in various variety shows and film and television dramas, and has attracted a lot of returning users by relying on the influence of celebrity traffic.

Lu Zheng has been having people keep an eye on Chen Yan's movements, and recently discovered that she and Song Min were still in private contact.

Song Min also has a wife and children.

According to reliable information found so far, the two started dating three years ago, but they did it very secretly and rarely appeared together.

Two weeks later, Lu Zheng received an email from a private detective saying that the two were heading to a hotel owned by Song Min for a private meeting.
