C14 The Unethical Webmaster!

Wenn Yi approached this task with a high level of commitment, knowing that Zhou Baobao had already paid the full amount. She promptly called a number known for managing "internet trolls." As a seasoned feminist, Wenn Yi was well-acquainted with these operators, and the familiarity was mutual.

Shortly thereafter, the troll ringleader began mobilizing his forces. Wenn Yi's post quickly amassed a multitude of likes, comments, and shares. Yet, it was clear that the engagement came predominantly from women. Men refrained from commenting, wary of unleashing the formidable might of the feminists—a force known for its relentless ferocity. Any man bold enough to speak out would be swiftly swarmed by a horde of women ready to deliver a harsh lesson.

Despite witnessing the video and its contents, those who felt disgruntled or skeptical chose to remain silent. Wenn Yi had anticipated such a reaction. A battle-hardened veteran in the art of stirring controversy and spreading disinformation, she was adept at inciting conflict.

In a strategic move, she instructed the trolls to use male identities to challenge her views in the comments. Soon, a variety of dissenting opinions appeared beneath Wenn Yi's post:

"These feminists seem hell-bent on creating chaos! There's not a shred of evidence in the video to suggest that guy laid a hand on anyone!"

"A single image sets the stage, and the rest is pure fiction! When will these unscrupulous bloggers ever learn?"

"Zhou Baobao himself hasn't made a peep, yet here you are, stirring the pot just to gain more followers. It's utterly disgraceful!"

"There's no footage of the bespectacled man making a move in the video. How can you so readily accuse him of harassing Zhou Baobao?"

"Feminists really are an irrational bunch!"

The counterattack from the male trolls was in full swing and proved to be a potent tactic. Some women, seeing themselves vilified, were incensed. They were oblivious to the grand deception unfolding—that the entire incident was a charade orchestrated by Zhou Baobao.

They had only seen Zhou Baobao, back turned to Xu Wenn, clutching his rear and wailing, seemingly the victim of harassment. Despite the apparent evidence, the naysayers persisted in their denials. This prompted a wave of indignant women to launch an offensive against the trolls.

Upon witnessing this scene, numerous reserved male netizens began to fire back.

Emboldened by the presence of these internet trolls, a wave of people found the courage to fight back.

The comment section, once a haven for women to vent, was now awash with vitriol.

This was exactly the outcome they had aimed for.

The trolls silently withdrew from the fray, leaving a battlefield of incensed men and women locked in a fierce exchange.

At that moment, Zhou Baobao sat on her plush bed, watching the skirmish unfold in the comments, a sly smile playing at the corners of her mouth.

"Hmph!" Zhou Baobao let out a disdainful snort.

"Idiot, thinking you can overshadow me and disregard my presence. You've sealed your fate."

She scrolled through ten push notifications, four of which featured videos of her being harassed on the subway.

Clearly, the topic she had chosen this time was spot on – gaining traction and trending was all but guaranteed.

Previously, even when celebrities and internet sensations faced harassment, it never made the trending searches.

Merely being molested wasn't enough to garner widespread attention.

But now, it was time to delve into the gender conflict!

When the moment was ripe, they would escalate the issue, sparking a verbal showdown of epic proportions.

Zhou Baobao couldn't help but bask in the glow of her strategic success.

She clicked on a new video, and a particular message caught her eye.

"Xu Wenn."

"A stunt professor at Dinghai University..."

"A senior engineer at Kun Roc Scientific Research Company?"

"His parents, still teaching at a high school in Dinghai City?"

"Ha, ha, ha..."

Zhou Baobao burst into laughter. She had never anticipated someone would so brazenly reveal Xu Wenn's identity.

"Not bad, both parents are educators."

"And they've raised a deviant. This is bound to stir up a storm."

"Oh, and let's not forget – he's a university professor and a so-called senior engineer!"

Zhou Baobao could see where this was heading.

The controversy surrounding Xu Wenn was reaching a boiling point, likely to hit the headlines soon.

Meanwhile, the internet was ablaze with insults, but Xu Wenn himself was sound asleep, utterly exhausted.

In contrast, Xu's father and Xu's mother were diligently grading their students' assignments under the lamplight.

They were all seasoned teachers, known for their meticulous approach to their work. Moreover, they staunchly refused to assign homework to parents!

While many young teachers today are fond of assigning homework through micro groups, Xu's father and mother were resolute in their opposition. They preferred to personally review their students' work, as it allowed them to thoroughly analyze the students' mistakes and address the issues effectively.

Xu's father and mother would stay up until midnight, completely oblivious to the internet chatter.

The following day dawned.

In the early morning, Xu Wenn left his home. His last attempt at the Water Fuel experiment had ended in failure. However, after reviewing the plethora of theories provided by the system on yesterday's subway ride, he had finally reached a conclusion.

This time, he was determined to lead his team in reigniting the research project. If all went well, the pivotal technology for the third industrial revolution could soon emerge, a technology exclusive to China!

Xu Wenn was thrilled, but as soon as he boarded the bus, he was met with pointing fingers and murmurs, particularly from a group of women who glared at him with fury in their eyes, as if they could tear him apart.

A woman in her thirties, clearly annoyed, bumped into Xu Wenn forcefully.

"Good dogs don't stand in the way. Move aside, you filthy rogue!" she snapped.

Xu Wenn was utterly bewildered.

A rogue? She was the one who had bumped into him, yet she was calling him a rogue?

He was completely flabbergasted.

Shortly after, the subway reached its destination, and Xu Wenn entered the Kun Roc Scientific Research Company. Ostensibly a private enterprise, no one within the company was aware of Xu Wenn's true identity; they only knew him as a senior engineer from the Dinghai University research team.

Just like on the subway, upon entering the company, Xu Wenn was met with curious stares and hushed whispers. They were all speculating about him.

"Who would have thought the mild-mannered Xu Wenn could be such a person?"

"That guy's got nerve, flirting with an Internet Celebrity."

"Xu Wenn's really in for it now. The scandal has blown up online, revealing his address and personal details. I doubt the company will keep him on board after this."

"Ah... such a shame! To be a university professor at Dinghai University and a senior engineer here at such a young age, and now it looks like it's all going downhill for him..."

"If you ask me, he brought this on himself."

"But who can say for sure? There's no footage of Xu Wenn laying a hand on anyone!"

"You're so clueless. Didn't you catch Zhou Baobao clutching her behind and shooting Xu Wenn a dirty look? If it wasn't him, are you suggesting you were the one who touched her?"

Their voices were hushed.

Yet, Xu Wenn overheard them. He recalled the short video his mother had shown him the night before.

It appeared to have already gone viral online!
