Chapter 202: Episode 202: Gossip is So Refreshing

Zhou Xueyin, holding the contract, was thrilled and after thanking repeatedly, she discussed the engagement strategy with Bai Luoran.

"Although I agreed to boost your content for free, not just any content can be promoted!" Bai Luoran, shifting from her previously relaxed demeanor, looked sharply at Zhou Xueyin.

Indeed, they were all the same, career women: work is work, and everything else is secondary!

"We understand that! The content we provide is definitely high quality, carefully selected. After all, we need to live up to the accounts under Sister Bai, right?" Zhou Xueyin nodded with a smile.

"Having worked on websites makes a difference! Not like some of those grassroots we used to boost... Those pictures were all digitally filtered—how embarrassing to even show them for boosting! What kind of engagement could they possibly achieve?" Bai Luoran massaged her temples, "I really don’t know what those people were thinking."

"Pff, ’digitally filtered,’ nice term!" Zhou Xueyin couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing, "As for the quality of pictures, please rest assured, Sister Bai, we can’t even stand images that are digitally filtered!"

"I trust you! Actually, I used to be a user of your forum... but then there were more and more ads, and some lowbrow content started showing up, so I stopped visiting... It’s a pity, really," Bai Luoran said regretfully.

"Hey, let the past glory be... Focusing on the present is what matters!" Feeling reassured by the endorsement from an industry titan, Zhou Xueyin added, "Sister Bai, you go ahead and get busy, I’ll go back to the office and arrange tasks. Every day before 10 a.m., I’ll send the content that needs boosting to Xiaotian!"

"No problem! Happy collaboration!"

Bai Luoran and Zhou Xueyin shook hands again and said their goodbyes.

"Yinyin, Yinyin! Huge gossip! Huge gossip!" Just as Zhou Xueyin returned to the office, Li Jiniang rushed over excitedly.

"What huge gossip?" Zhou Xueyin was baffled.

"The dumbass wife made a scene at the company! The good media turned it into a news story and exposed it!" Li Jiniang sent Zhou Xueyin a link from Little Sky Blue.

[From past glory to today’s downfall! Big scandal after the ownership transfer of 51buy!]

"These news writers, don’t they have anything better to do? All the celebrity gossip out there and they camp out for gossip about some small broken website, how much engagement can that even get? Really, some people just love watching the world burn!" Zhou Xueyin scoffed after glancing at the headline.

"No no no, it’s not as simple as you think!" Li Jiniang said with a mysterious smile.

"What else could it be?" Zhou Xueyin noticed that not just Li Jiniang, but everyone in the office was delving into this gossip.

Even Yao Shanshan, who normally didn’t care about others, was scrolling through Little Sky Blue with Guo Yu.

Everyone’s gone crazy... What gossip could possibly be this captivating? Could Zhang Yongzhong’s wife really have such magnetism to get everyone watching gossip?

[Yinyin! It’s crazy, have you seen the forums? Have you seen Weibo? It’s a bombshell scandal!] Even Wei Jingzhu sent a timely text message.

What scandal could possibly captivate so many people?

Zhou Xueyin started to read the posts seriously:

The well-known women’s forum 51buy recently announced that the former General Manager, Mr. Zhou, had resigned and was replaced by Mr. Zhang.

Mr. Zhang, not a local, owns neither a car nor a house in this city, but has the money to keep a mistress!

This mistress is Mrs. Zhao, one of Mr. Zhang’s subordinates.

Additionally, Mrs. Zhao is also the girlfriend of Mr. Zhang’s right-hand man, Mr. Zhu.

Mr. Zhang’s wife, Mrs. Song, came to visit relatives unexpectedly, and Mr. Zhang had no time to hide Mrs. Zhao’s belongings in his room, and the affair was exposed...

"Wow, this Zhao Caiyun really is... looks can be deceiving..." Zhou Xueyin exclaimed, "Such a sweet girl, how did she end up like this..."

"Sweet? Yinyin, only you would think she’s sweet..." Sun Miao scoffed disdainfully.

"But this should teach her a lesson..." Zhou Xueyin said unemotionally as she closed the page.

"Don’t close it! There’s even more explosive stuff coming up!" Sun Miao hit the undo button and brought the page back.

Zhou Xueyin continued to scroll down, and there was a video.

Zhang Yongzhong’s wife was cursing, pulling Zhao Caiyun’s hair and dragging her out of the Silver Web Building; then, the very next second, she herself was knocked to the ground by Zhu Dayan with a kick.

Following that, Zhu Dayan was then struck dumb with a slap from Zhang Yongzhong.

The four of them were brawling together; no wonder it made the top trending posts.

This was like the battle of the year; such an exciting brawl likely wouldn’t appear again for years to come.

Watching the video, Zhou Xueyin didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

But the real culprit was definitely Zhang Yongzhong. If he hadn’t had an affair, his wife wouldn’t have come knocking to beat up his mistress, and there wouldn’t have been this situation where Zhao Caiyun knowingly became the other woman and couldn’t have a proper relationship.

However, Zhou Xueyin didn’t spare any sympathy for Zhao Caiyun; she brought it on herself and deserved to be hit.

Knowing fully well that he was married, for her own small benefit, she was willing to harm Zhu Dayan’s feelings and play both sides. This beating was well-deserved! She had it coming!

"Enough! Enough! Are we not working? Can we earn money just by gossiping?" Zhou Xueyin clapped her hands, drawing everyone’s attention.

"Fuck! Fuck! Yinyin, look quick!" Wang Simo exclaimed again.

"Sisi! Are you trying to die? Not working anymore? Don’t want your paycheck anymore?" Zhou Xueyin glared at her.

"No no, CBIS has just announced they are exiting the China market! And Liu Ruidong is back to being the general manager of Zhongonline, also breaking ties with 51buy!" Wang Simo’s words set the office abuzz again.

Hearing this, Zhou Xueyin felt she had left just in time! Any later and she would have really lost everything.

"Okay, 51buy is thoroughly in the past now, now let’s properly operate Xueshan Jiying!" Zhou Xueyin called out again.

"Yinyin, you might not believe this. I can still connect to 51buy’s backend... and even back up the data..." Kang Siyin said, reveling in the misfortune.

"Oh? That’s great! Hurry up, back up all the data, after all, it’s also our hard work, isn’t it?" Zhou Xueyin breathed a sigh of relief.

The old content from 51buy is enough to support Xueshan Jiying for a while. At least they won’t worry about not having content to post anymore.

"Quick! Quick! Quick! Everyone, contribute a piece of premium content from each account. I’ll send them to the account group tomorrow; they’ve agreed to promote our accounts!" Zhou Xueyin rallied.

Officially, they were gifted two 50k-level accounts, but actually, it was a free trial to boost those two popular accounts, and later they would switch to paid mode and self-operate.

Zhou Xueyin wasn’t sure which accounts were easier to promote, so she could only experiment with each; and since the other party specifically wanted fashion accounts, the content from "What to Eat Today" could not be submitted.

"Hehe, tally up, excluding the What to Eat Today account, the most shared Weibo post from the other accounts, get it sorted for me by the end of work today!" Zhou Xueyin started delegating tasks.
