Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 821: Chapter 821: Internet Celebrity Ace (5)

Shen Hanqiu’s voice was shut out by the door.

Chuzheng flicked through the messages on her phone, Guan Cang’s team was operating inside.

Chuzheng had almost been whitewashed by now.

The information and photos about her on the internet had also been cleaned up.

”[Miss, isn’t it nice to have money?]” King’s Account asked cheerfully.

Chuzheng: ”...”

The number of people who had been enthusiastically cursing her had diminished, and there were not as many messages as before.

Fame can fade in a matter of minutes.

This is what they call a fair-weather friend.

Whichever way the wind blows, that’s the way they fall.

Chuzheng posted the edited Weibo post.

As soon as this Weibo was posted, it blew up instantly.

The gist of the Weibo was: anyone who had personally attacked her, defamed her, spread her private information, and damaged her image would receive a lawyer’s letter. There was no need to worry about not receiving it, nor about her not having the time. What she had plenty of were time and money.

[Holy crap!]

[This sister is awesome, hitting them with a lawyer’s letter right away.]

[Shen Hanqiu shifting the blame onto her is really unfortunate, I would have collapsed if I were her.]

[There might still be a twist to this melon. I suggest you guys don’t pick sides too quickly, or you’ll get slapped in the face.]

[What about those who were active in digging up her private life before? Why aren’t they jumping around now?]

Chuzheng’s Weibo post was not just talk; the lawyer quickly put together a list of people and sent out lawyer’s letters one by one.

Most probably thought that the lawyer’s letters were just a warning, and a simple apology would suffice to settle everything.

However, unexpectedly, lawsuits followed not long after.

Most think that defending one’s rights is difficult, and once the impact has been mitigated, the issue will be dropped.

Thus, those who had broken the law acted without restraint.

They thought: Anyway, it won’t have any real impact. At worst, we’ll get a scolding, issue a public apology, and pay no price. I’d do it again next time.

[Just a passerby, I don’t know what happened, but those who expose others’ privacy on the internet and insult them should be punished like this.]

[What does Ai Chuzheng do? How come her lawyer reacts so quickly?]

[Wasn’t it said before that she was just an artist without a proper job?]

[Since when is being an artist not a proper job?]

[How much money must all these procedures cost?]

[It’s just saying a few words, why are you so relentless? Are you sick?]

[I think you’re the one who’s sick. If I exposed your whole family on the internet for over a billion people to scrutinize, and all I got in the end was ’just saying a few words’ and didn’t do anything, how would you feel?]

[Holy shit, there are still opinions like the one above, eye-opening. Internet violence is already very serious, okay! There are countless cases in the news of deaths and depression due to internet violence. I advise you to be kind, you never know when it might happen to you.]

This issue did not remain hot for very long.

It was quickly overshadowed by news from the entertainment industry.

As for Shen Hanqiu, she was also looking for an opportunity to turn things around.

However, Shen Hanqiu’s attempts at a turnaround failed several times.

Guan Cang was always monitoring her activities, not allowing her to turn the situation around.

The money from God of Wealth wasn’t taken for nothing.

They are professionals!

So, those fans who initially caused trouble on Chuzheng’s side were now chasing after her instead.

If Shen Hanqiu has good mental resilience, she’ll probably need to lay low for a while.

If not...

Her fate wouldn’t be much different from the original owner’s.

-

Chuzheng, this artist with an ”improper” job, logged into her work account, which she hadn’t used for a long time.

This work account, having almost no associated links, had not been dug out.

However, once Chuzheng logged in, there were still quite a few messages asking about her.

Compared to the massive scandals of stars, her issue might not seem like much.

But in today’s information era, even the name she used for drawing had been exposed, and certainly, those in the circle would know.

She hadn’t logged into this account before, so these inquiry messages had built up.

Chuzheng filtered out these messages, ending up with only two people’s messages left.

One was rushing her to submit her draft.

The other wanted to discuss a collaboration.

The one who wanted to collaborate had messaged her before the incident and had not sent any messages since, probably having given up on the idea after seeing her trouble.

So Chuzheng only replied to the one rushing her for the draft.

The original owner had accepted an illustration commission before the accident.

It was almost finished, unfortunately...

the computer was smashed by her.

This meant that Chuzheng had to do it herself.

Illustrating is a tedious task, and Chuzheng had no small struggle to get this draft submitted.

[Xiao Su: Are you still taking commissions?]

[Ai Chuzheng: No!]

[Xiao Su: ...]

[Xiao Su: You’re not short on cash?]

Xiao Su always had various resources, and most of the original owner’s work came from her.

So they talked quite a bit more.

[Xiao Su: That lawsuit on the Internet... you must really need money, right? I have a few big commissions for you...]

[Ai Chuzheng: No need, thanks.]

Chuzheng immediately logged off.

Devil!

Chuzheng uninstalled all the apps.

Chuzheng let out a sigh.

Hummm—

”Hello.”

Chuzheng carelessly activated speakerphone.

It was Guan Cang’s voice: ”Miss Ai, that man you asked me to investigate, I’ve found him.”

”Hmm.”

”Yi Yanli.”

Chuzheng nonchalantly leaned back, exuding the aura of a boss: ”Who?”

”Yi Yanli of Zongyun Live Streaming Platform.”

Yi Yanli was one of the first to start live streaming and quickly made Zongyun one of the top three streaming platforms.

The other two are Moxiu Live and Shan Hai Live.

Why would Shen Hanqiu know Yi Yanli?

”Look into the connection between Shen Hanqiu and Yi Yanli,” Chuzheng commanded.

”Got it.”

-

Chuzheng opened the live streaming app on her phone.

It wasn’t Zongyun Live.

It was Shan Hai Live.

Like Zongyun, Moxiu was one of the first to dip their toes into streaming.

But not Shan Hai; they entered in a later phase, when all the streaming platforms had matured, suddenly burst onto the scene, and swiftly seized the market to stand equally with the other two.

[Main quest: Spend one million within one hour.]

Chuzheng: ”...”

That’s what you get for being careless!

What was she even clicking!!

Chuzheng randomly clicked on a featured broadcaster and donated a million.

[God of Wealth gifted the host with a Deluxe Castle×1]

[God of Wealth gifted the host with a Deluxe Castle×1]

[...]

Once Chuzheng made a move, the screen exploded.

[Who is this God of Wealth?]

[Is it the alt account of some rich fan?]

[I saw him last time too; he directly spent half a million in that host’s room, half a million!! How much is he going to donate this time?]

[????]

There’s a top fan rich list on the platform with a hundred names.

Top one hundred spenders can get on that list.

With such a lavish hand and an unheard-of name, many people thought it was an alt account—the platform doesn’t support fans changing their usernames.

[God of Wealth... isn’t this the platform’s own plant?]

[Official plant +1]

[Damn, he’s already spent almost fifty thousand!!]
