Xu Hao nodded and smiled, "Don't worry, I've already prepared for this."

As he spoke, he turned on his phone player.

The women were all stunned when they heard the sounds coming from the player.

One of the voices was unmistakably Park Jung Eon, as his voice had a certain whining tone that was hard to disguise. The other voice was ambiguous in gender.

The topic they were discussing was precisely how to target Xu Liu Group and Xu Hao, and it was exactly about today's events.

Liu Ruyan said, uncertainly, "This... Could this be..."

Xu Hao nodded slightly and said, "That's right, the two are Park Jung Eon and Groundhog, and this is a recording of their conversation."

Qin Yao asked in surprise, "How... how do you have a recording of their room? Does that mean..."

"You guessed right."

Xu Hao smiled, "When we went to see Park Jung Eon together, that's when I placed a mini bugging device in his room, so I recorded all of their conversations, and it really came in handy now."

As he spoke, Xu Hao uploaded the entire recording online.

Once Xu Hao's recording was released, it created an uproar on the internet.

Lying in his bedroom, enjoying the insults towards Xu Liu Group in the comments, Park Jung Eon suddenly became furious.

He actually heard the recording of his conversation last night with the famous influencer "Groundhog"!

How could this be possible!

But as he listened carefully, he realized it was indeed him!

He panicked instantly.

He had posted audio on the forum; if someone recognized it, he'd be doomed.

He immediately tried to access his Huaya Forum account to delete the audio he'd previously posted. This content originates from *, *.

But when he saw the red "Cannot Delete" warning on the screen, he was dumbstruck.

He couldn't delete it!

His privileges were restricted, he couldn't even delete his own posts, this was definitely the result of internal sabotage!

He quickly checked the account of the popular influencer "Groundhog," and found that her account also had her own posted audio clips still up.

Obviously, she couldn't delete them either.

The famous influencer "Groundhog" called him.

The two discussed and quickly realized that Xu Hao must have enlisted some internal staff from the forum; otherwise, how could such a thing occur?

No matter how many followers "Groundhog" had or how influential she was, she had to admit defeat when faced with internal staff of the forum.

They utilized internal staff privileges directly; no matter how they struggled, it was impossible to alter their accounts to delete the issued audio.

They didn't dare to directly tell the netizens that their permissions were restricted and they couldn't delete the already sent posts; otherwise, they'd be admitting guilt while blaming others.

Now, the public opinion online turned once again.

Everyone realized that the famous influencer "Groundhog" collaborated with Park Jung Eon and Xianjin Group people to orchestrate a plot to ruin the reputation of Xu Liu Group.

But unfortunately, they didn't expect that Xu Liu Group had prepared in advance and secretly recorded them.

Secretly placing a recording device like this is just normal business competition; there's no way Xu Liu Group is at fault.

But what Xianjin Group and others did truly disgusted many people.

They orchestrated such a thing, and the key issue was that they got exposed.

So, the comments on the forum were almost entirely insulting the influencer "Groundhog" and Xianjin Group, with countless people calling for them to apologize, admit fault, and provide appropriate compensation.

...

At the headquarters of Xianjin Group.

Li Dechang and others, though unable to directly join the online debates, were always paying attention. Each investment in "Groundhog" and others was with their behind-the-scenes support. Otherwise, Park Jung Eon, being just a CEO, wouldn't dare to rashly cooperate on such matters.

Initially, the media storm created by Groundhog and others favored their side, making them quite pleased, thinking the opinions of Huaya People were really controllable with money as those netizens were just a bunch of fools.

But now, the sudden shift in public opinion slapped them in the face; this wasn't how the script was written!

Weren't they supposed to gain absolute support in Huaya, and their product would be popular without hindrance, endorsed by countless people?

Park Jung Eon reported the latest updates to them, highlighting their restricted forum account permissions.

Li Dechang said angrily, "I never thought this Xu Hao would be so powerful, being able to restrict the account of the fifth-ranked influencer 'Groundhog.' This isn't something an average internal staff could do; it probably involved some forum executive. Being able to mobilize a forum executive, this Xu Hao is indeed extraordinary."
