Ling Zhenfei actually felt a bit relieved after hearing that. It seems the person who made the post didn't really know anything but was analyzing on their own, because nothing ever happened between Cao Xueyi and Ling Zhenfei.
Their relationship is just a normal friendship for now, so once Cao Xueyi's name came up, Ling Zhenfei immediately concluded that this was fake news.
Ling Zhenfei said, "Although this post is fake, if a lie is repeated enough, it will become the truth. This is definitely tricky to handle."
Everything is arranged by Master Nangong right now, and those trolling on the internet are obviously hired by Master Nangong. When there are many people bashing Ling Zhenfei online, it can easily influence others.
Originally, some people were already jealous of Ling Zhenfei, so now that someone is attacking him, they naturally want to join in too.
You can casually search photos of Ling Zhenfei with Bai Ling, Yang Zixuan, Jiang Hui, etc. online and find plenty. Add a few pictures, and some fabricated stories, and it's easy for people to believe.
Lin Yi said, "If I can't do it, just find some network administrators and people from Weibo. Someone has to manage these kinds of things."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Doing this definitely costs money, so when it's all over, I'll reimburse you."
Lin Yi said, "We can talk about this later."
After the call ended, Ling Zhenfei returned to his hotel, and He Lingxiu was already asleep. She really was exhausted during this time.
Ling Zhenfei didn't disturb her and immediately went online to check the situation. Online, things were really bad, almost all the comments were criticizing and attacking him.
Ling Zhenfei was so frustrated, but it made sense. Normal people would've gone to bed by now, only those paid trolls would be up all night continuing to smear him.
Ling Zhenfei quickly found the post Lin Yi mentioned; it's currently very popular.
In the post, many girls' names appeared, including Yang Zixuan, Jiang Hui, Cao Xueyi, Ji Mei, Bai Ling, He Lingxiu, and even Zhou Yun's name came up.
When it mentioned Zhou Yun, the person explained in the back, when Ling Zhenfei was in college at eighteen, Zhou Yun was only twenty-three, and by that time, Ling Zhenfei's brother had died.
A twenty-three-year-old woman taking care of an eighteen-year-old man, so many years have passed, how could Zhou Yun cope, didn't she have any physical needs?
Actually, it claimed that since he was eighteen, Ling Zhenfei had improper relations with his sister-in-law Zhou Yun, especially in recent years; Zhou Yun, who lived in the rural areas, started dressing more fashionably and was less like a rural woman.
Below, there was even a photo showing Zhou Yun dressed in career attire. She indeed looked very beautiful, making any man who saw it practically drool.
"Such a beautiful woman, anyone who saw her would be tempted. Ling Zhenfei, a lad in his twenties, would definitely be enticed. It's impossible otherwise, which is why many in their village knew about the inappropriate relationship between Ling Zhenfei and his sister-in-law Zhou Yun."
Ling Zhenfei finished reading and was fuming, but you could see this person's ability to fabricate stories was indeed impressive. Even though it was fake, it presented things that made others almost believe it.
In fact, stuff like this is easy to imagine, anyone slightly timid would understand it.
Just like Ji Mei's incident, what was said made everyone believe it more.
"Ji Mei used to be a celebrity, but in recent years, her TV and movie appearances were few, becoming more of a businesswoman, though not a very competent one, with annual losses, even needing high-interest loans.
If Ji Mei managed herself, she might've completely closed by last winter, but in the second half of last year, Ji Mei's company unexpectedly picked up.
The reason for the surge was Ling Zhenfei offering his various elixirs, turning them over to Ji Mei's Mei Ji shop for sale. Ling Zhenfei's elixirs, whether the Beauty Pill, Youth Pill, or Qi Replenishing Pill, were all good products, they didn't need offline channels at all.
Going offline is cumbersome, buying online is much simpler, but Ling Zhenfei deliberately offered all elixirs at Ji Mei's Mei Ji store—why? What could Ji Mei bring to Ling Zhenfei? Absolutely nothing.
If these elixirs were sold online, the price would only be higher, without profit-sharing with Mei Ji, yet Ling Zhenfei would get nothing except perhaps some appeal from Ji Mei's body."
This introduction about Ji Mei, although it's full of guesses from start to finish, still makes readers feel it could be true.
This online poster was indeed clever, but there was pure fabrication later, about Xi Shan Restaurant's managers in Modu, Binyang, and Capital City—Yang Zixuan, Jiang Hui, and Cao Xueyi.
These three ladies were made managers of the restaurants because they allegedly had improper relationships with Ling Zhenfei, which led to their appointments as managers.
It even claimed that unless you established some relation with Ling Zhenfei, it was impossible to survive in his company. Just think of the Xi Shan Restaurant staff; every one of them is a beautiful woman.
A simple restaurant waiter really needed such beautiful women for what purpose.
Netizens commented one after another: "Yeah, whenever I stroll by Xi Shan Restaurant, it's just to catch a glimpse of the welcoming beauties like Tingting and Lili."
"What kind of restaurant is this? It's obviously Ling Zhenfei's personal harem."
"What the author says sounds so true, did they see it with their own eyes? Without counting, Ling Zhenfei's women are really numerous, each one stunning."
"Even his sister-in-law isn't spared; Ling Zhenfei is truly heartless. Unfollowing him immediately."
"I told you, Ji Mei was about to go bankrupt, how did she end up linked to Ling Zhenfei? Ling Zhenfei's elixirs could sell anywhere, why place them at Mei Ji? I don't believe there's no connection."
"Bai Ling, my goddess, has she really been with Ling Zhenfei? It makes sense; Bai Ling is probably more than just a secretary and assistant to him."
"This is fascinating, not sure how much dirt Ling Zhenfei has, it's more exciting than Jin Ping Mei; I need to take a shower and cool down."
"Goodness, all these women in Ling Zhenfei's harem are beautiful. I wonder if these women know about each other."
Ling Zhenfei read these with frustration. If things continue at this rate, who knows what might develop?
However, Lin Yi kept actively defending against this, with lots of skeptical comments below the post.
"Has Ling Zhenfei married yet? If he hasn't, there shouldn't be any problem with him being with women, it's not bigamy."
"Not a fan of Ling Zhenfei, just a bystander, but there's no hard evidence in this post; it's all speculative, claiming Ling Zhenfei put his elixirs at Mei Ji because Ji Mei traded her body."
