I’ll Add Points To All Things

Chapter 315 Insider Information & A 10 Million Yuan Bonus. The Internet Explodes!

Su Yang carefully dripped a few drops of almond oil onto the weighing device he made with the Unknown Sticky Note as he casually asked, “What happened?”

As he asked, he took a look at the digital display on the weighing apparatus. ‘Hmmm. 2.1 grams… That’s over by 0.1 gram… I failed again…’

‘Could the weighing accuracy requirement be the reason this recipe is so difficult to craft?

‘That’s a hard number to get accurately!’

Li Zijun said on the other end of the phone line, “Our Find Me app has been subjected to a massive online slander. Some people are claiming that we’re a dating app, some others say we’re a pornography app, and there are others who are saying that there’s a lot of information in our app that hints at certain illegal services.”

After wiping off the almond oil, he dripped a few more drops. 1.9 grams. Sh*t! How the hell could he get it to weigh exactly 2 grams?!

He replied, “Oh. Are there any screenshots or actual evidence then?”

Li Zijun had obviously made preparations before coming to deliver his report, and just from this, one could see the difference between her and Wang Dong. She said firmly, “No! All the online messages are text messages, there isn’t a single picture posted. However, negative news of our app has flooded the internet. It even came up as a top and trending search on Weibo.” She hesitated for a moment before continuing, “Didn’t we just launch the (100 Days of Stars] collaboration? There were many big stars and celebrities who saw these negative messages and sent inquiries to us. They’re obviously worried that such negative information would tarnish their image.”

Su Yang paused as he thought, ‘I didn’t know it would be so troublesome.’

He raised his head and pondered. Just as he was about to speak out, Little Deeny’s voice rang in his ears…

After listening to Little Denny for a brief moment, he nodded and said to Li Zijun, “I got it. It’s okay. In that case, let’s issue a public clarification.”

Li Zijun, who was waiting on the other end of the phone line was speechless after hearing Su Yang’s words. In the age of the Internet, there were many things that were true and false, and most of the time they were just rumours.

Moreover, because of the loss of the Internet’s credibility, most of the refutation rumors were often disregarded as enterprises attempting to cover up their dirty secrets. One couldn’t expect to take it seriously these days. Hence, one couldn’t guarantee the outreach of the public clarification. Even if many people saw the public clarification online, not many of them might believe it.

With these thoughts in mind, Li Zijun frowned slightly and decided to use the remaining budget after spending the bulk of the money on the public announcement to pay off the various websites to remove those negative articles and reduce the overall negative impact.

Just as she was planning for the next few steps ahead, Su Yang’s voice sounded from the other end of the phone line. “Let’s not release a boring public clarification. Let’s make it into an event. Every time a netizen finds an illegal message or post on our app, we’ll award him with prize money. We’ll set the prize money at… ten million yuan for each post.”

Li Zijun’s head buzzed, as her jaw fell and she gaped. She wondered if she had heard him wrongly. With trembling lips, she asked, “D-Director Su, how much did you say?”.

Su Yang who was on the other end of the line busy fiddling with the weighing apparatus did not even raise his head as he replied swiftly, “Ten million. Ten million yuan per illegal post.”

This time Li Zijun heard it clear as the day. However, instead of doubting her ears, this time, she started to doubt if her brain was working fine. She let out an awkward laughter. “Director Su, I may have misunderstood your meaning. Did you actually mean 1000 yuan for each illegal post found, to express our stand to fight against illegal information? Am I right?

She felt deep in her heart that even 1,000 yuan was way too much as prize money for detecting an illegal post. After all, she could easily earn 10,000 yuan if she found 10 illegal posts. If that was the case, she wouldn’t be focusing on her work; she’d rather spend every day searching for illegal content on the app.

Even then, compared to the ten million yuan per illegal message suggested by Director Su, that was peanuts!
