Living the Life You Hate

Lin Xuan saw the message and nervously touched his nose.

Wasn't that the truth?

He really did oversleep because of Su Hua.

Last night, Su Hua was too wild, and he only fell asleep at four or five in the morning.

His novels were all uploaded to his computer, where a program he wrote would automatically send out three chapters at the scheduled time.

The chapters he had stored were just used up yesterday. He had originally planned to continue uploading after attending Lin Li's birthday party, but then he got pulled into bed by Su Hua...

Lin Xuan replied to Foxtail: [I had something yesterday. I’ll update soon.]

Foxtail felt a pang of envy when he learned that Lin Xuan was still an undergraduate.

Damn it!

An undergraduate student has become the best-selling novelist, owns a entertainment company, and runs a novel website.

When I was in university, I was still asking my parents for a living allowance...

Lin Xuan opened his computer and posted three chapters for each of his three books.

Foxtail: "......"

Is this it? Is this all?

Foxtail took a screenshot of his previous chat with Lin Xuan and sent it over.

[Foxtail]: Who said you would update more for the sake of your readers? Now you're stingy with six thousand words a day.

Foxtail sent the message gloomily via QQ.

[Foxtail]: Boss, you've become the person you once despised.

Lin Xuan coughed lightly, covering his mouth with his hand.

He had no choice. Before, he needed to make money and updated frantically.

Now, he needed to keep his readers hooked, using his novels as a brand to keep them on his site. Moreover, he didn't want to spend so much time on writing anymore.

That's why he had to update less.

Lin Xuan put his phone aside and logged into Weibo.

His gaze deepened.

It had been almost a day, and it was time to expose Lin Li and Qin Ruoyao's affair.

Weibo was the largest news platform, so he decided to post directly there.

#Lin Li Cheats on Qin Ruoyao#

[Yundu City Good Citizen]: Last night, Lin Li held a birthday party. A video of Lin Li and Qin Ruoyao's intimate affair was played during the event. Lin Li is already engaged and has a fiancée.

He also uploaded a video with key parts blurred.

Lin Xuan manually operated to push the topic to the top of Weibo's trending searches.

Yesterday, as soon as Lin Li's scandal broke out, Lin Chang had Wang Yajun coordinate with various platforms to suppress the news, including Weibo.

Liu Hui, a technician at Weibo, immediately followed the instructions to remove the trending topics and block all topics related to Lin Li and Qin Ruoyao.

However!

No matter how hard he tried, the trending topic refused to budge.

Liu Hui immediately thought of Lin Xuan.

"Damn, is it him again!"

Just as he thought that, a few words popped up on his computer screen: "Don't interfere with Lin Li’s matter."

Liu Hui's hand trembled.

It really was him! Lin Xuan!!

Liu Hui didn't dare to linger and hurriedly ran to the general manager's office.

In the general manager's office of Weibo's headquarters building.

Lin Chang had already called the general manager, angrily demanding, "I gave you money to remove the trending searches and block all topics about Lin Li and Qin Ruoyao. Why is it still trending at the top?"

The general manager apologized with a smile, "Our technicians are already handling the situation, Mr. Lin. Please wait a moment."

Starlight Group's main business is in the entertainment industry, and they have many collaborations with Weibo.

The general manager still gave Lin Chang some face.

Lin Chang said sternly, "This is about my son's reputation. Immediately block it."

The general manager had just hung up when Liu Hui rushed into the office.

"General Manager." Liu Hui panted.

"Liu Hui, right? You’re just in time," the general manager frowned. "What’s going on? Why is Lin Li and Qin Ruoyao's topic still trending after so many minutes?"

"General Manager, I was about to report this to you."

Liu Hui said, "That trending topic can't be removed, nor should it be removed."

"What’s the matter?" The general manager frowned.

“General Manager, that trending topic was most likely arranged by Lin Xuan. He also contacted us, instructing us not to interfere with Lin Li's matter,” Liu Hui responded.

"What, it's him!"

The general manager's hand holding the water cup trembled.

The secretary at the side said, "General Manager, Lin Xuan is also part of the Lin family. Last night, Starlight Group publicly announced that the Lin family cut ties with Lin Xuan. This morning, Lin Chang even held a press conference to clarify their relationship with Lin Xuan. It seems that Lin Xuan and the Lin family don’t get along. If Lin Xuan is behind this, it must be revenge. I think it’s better for us not to interfere."

"Yes, we can't intervene," the general manager nodded. "Since Lin Xuan has spoken, interfering would offend him."

This Lin Xuan is someone they can't afford to offend.

Lin Xuan’s hacking skills are too powerful. He treats Weibo like his own home, breaking in anytime without leaving a trace.

If they were to anger Lin Xuan, and he attacks their platform, it would be disastrous.

"Liu Hui, go back," the general manager instructed. "From now on, turn a blind eye to anything related to Lin Xuan."

"Yes."

Liu Hui left.

The general manager called Lin Chang, "Mr. Lin, the money you gave us has been returned. I'm really sorry, but we can't remove that trending topic. It's beyond our capabilities."

"What’s going on?" Lin Chang frowned. "Isn’t this your own platform?"

The general manager remained silent.

Of course, they were powerless.

If they angered Lin Xuan and he attacked their backend, it would be the end.

To be honest, it’s quite frustrating.

This is our own platform, yet we can't take control.

“Did someone pay you a lot of money, and that’s why the trending topic wasn't removed? How much did they pay?” Lin Chang demanded.

"Mr. Lin," the general manager apologized with a smile. "It has nothing to do with money. We really have our reasons, and we’re sorry."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Lin Chang's face darkened.

Just as he ended the call with Weibo, other platforms like Tieba and Zhihu also contacted Lin Chang.

They told him they couldn’t handle it.

"Clang!" Lin Chang ended the call with clenched teeth, his chest heaving heavily.

Who is behind this?

Lin Chang didn’t suspect Lin Xuan. He didn’t think Lin Xuan had the capability. He believed it was Starlight Group’s competitor playing dirty.

As for Lin Li, dream girls who used to call him "hubby" had already unfollowed him. Only a few diehard fans remained.

Students from Yundu University also mocked him behind his back.

Lin Li’s carefully built good image was completely destroyed.

Lin Li's face turned ashen, and he slammed his phone violently against the wall.

"Lin Xuan!"

Lin Li gritted his teeth, his forehead veins bulging. "I will never rest until I am done with you!"

"Just wait for me!"

Lin Li's eyes were filled with venomous hatred.

The look in his eyes was one of wanting to tear Lin Xuan apart, piece by piece.
