Due to receiving more than eight million votes, Li Kong, who was previously obscure at the West Rainbow Zoo, instantly shot to fame.
However, just a day later, he was almost subjected to an internet backlash.
The cause of this incident started with a video taken by a tourist.
This tourist happened to be a postgraduate student specializing in animal-related fields, and his chosen topic was the interaction patterns between animals and their mates.
For this topic, he spent several days in a row at the West Rainbow Zoo.
On the first day, he filmed Li Kong interacting with a female macaque.
Just as he thought this was Li Kong's mate, Li Kong started flirting with another female langur.
Of course, to him, this seemed completely normal.
After all, it's a monkey king, having a few wives and concubines is understandable.
But when he came back the next day, he found Li Kong engaging in inappropriate behavior with several other female monkeys.
Just when he thought this was the limit, on the third day, Li Kong switched targets again.
Over the course of three days, he had filmed Li Kong interacting with no less than 10 female monkeys.
While being shocked, he casually posted his discovery online.
And he paired it with an extremely eye-catching title.
"Shock! A male leader at the zoo has been taking advantage of his position to maintain improper relationships with more than ten female subordinates. This male leader has nearly ten million fans online."
As soon as the video was posted, it immediately attracted a lot of attention from netizens.
There was no way around it; the title was just too explosive.
Netizens almost immediately thought of a certain person.
After all, there's only one person who could be referred to as the male leader of the zoo with nearly ten million fans online.
Netizens were even ready to start hurling insults.
However, when they clicked in to take a look, they were immediately dumbfounded.
"Holy crap, you big clickbaiter, you tricked me into wasting my data."
"The editor is really talented, how did you come up with such a ghostly title?"
"I thought someone dug up some dirt on the director, but it turns out it's just a monkey."
"Indeed, it's a male leader from the zoo."
"I thought, how could the director have this ability? There aren't many young females in the West Rainbow Zoo."
"Just a ticket-selling girl and a few animal-feeding aunts before, I was wondering if the director was a beast in human clothing."
"Editor, come out, I'm going to beat you up."
"Good lord, I was about to go to the director's account and insult him."
"It's too late, I've already insulted him, it's too late to take it back."
"I'm too naive, I was tricked by this ghostly title."
"No, I can't be the only one fooled, I have to share it."
"Yes yes, share it."
...
With the reposting of these netizens who felt they had been tricked, this casually posted video was quickly shared on various social platforms.
And when people saw the title of this video, their first thought was obviously the same as the previous group of netizens.
"No way, did Director Yang have a scandal?"
"He looks so decent, how could he do such a thing."
"More than ten, impressive!"
"Ha-ha-ha, I'm dying of laughter, would you guys please finish reading before commenting, I can't stop laughing."
"Goodness, so this is the kind of male leader we have in the zoo."
"The monkey king is not a leader though."
"I voted for this Li Kong yesterday, I didn't expect he would turn out to be such a monkey."
"A master of time management, indeed, dating more than ten people in three days."
"My idol has fallen, my beloved brother turned out to be such a monkey."
"What a chaotic zoo, a monkey can do such things, the zookeeper should revoke its title of monkey king."
"Ha-ha-ha, can I take back my vote? I suddenly don't want to vote for this monkey messing with gender relationships."
"I also demand a re-vote."
"Although he's just a monkey, Ningnan City absolutely cannot let a notorious monkey become the mascot."
....
As the video spread and fermented, more and more people became aware of Li Kong's situation.
Even walking down the streets, one could hear related comments.
However, the message somewhat changed during the process of spreading.
"Did you hear about a male idol named Li Kong? His house collapsed, you know?"
"Really? But who is Li Kong? Never heard of him."
"He's a popular young male artist recently."
"Oh, oh, oh, seems familiar, he debuted from a talent show, right?"
"I heard he has millions of fans, and he's dating more than ten people at the same time."
"That's outrageous, he's the scum of all scumbags."
......
"I heard that a guy named Li Kong's house collapsed, killing more than ten people, all women."
"How can so many people live in one house?"
"Must be a rental."
"Then this Li Kong will probably be sentenced, there are too many unscrupulous landlords these days."
At this moment, the spectators who are eager to watch the drama no longer care about where the drama came from.
But they remembered one thing, that is, not to vote for Li Kong.
The reason why most netizens voted for Li Kong was just for fun and to stir things up.
But at this moment, after knowing about his house collapse, they naturally changed their voting target immediately.
Soon there was a new change in the number of votes, with Li Hei, who was originally ranked third, directly rushing to second, and the gap with the first-ranked Shidi Fu became closer and closer.
Obviously, the final mascot will be chosen between these two.
One is the first generation of internet celebrities of West Rainbow Zoo, famous for being quirky.
The other is the new generation of cute king of West Rainbow Zoo, known for being adorably silly.
And just when all the netizens were looking forward to the birth of the final result, Yang Lin, who was in the office, was staring at the screen of his phone with an incredulous expression.
"What the hell, when did I have improper relationships with more than ten female subordinates.
"Defamation, this is complete defamation."
"I haven't even had a girlfriend, how did I suddenly become the king of scumbags."
It was not until he finished watching the video that he let out a long sigh of relief.
"It scared me, I thought it was because I was too famous, so people started making up negative rumors about me."
"Li Kong almost screwed me over, tomorrow I'm going to demote your Monkey King. Such a young age and you're not behaving, now you've become the first animal in West Rainbow Zoo to have a bad reputation."
"This is just self-destruction."
Just when Yang Lin was somewhat speechless due to the big blunder in front of him, the news of the first special sports event to be held in Ningnan City also began to heat up.
Perhaps because of the mascot election this time, the news immediately attracted a lot of attention as soon as it was released.
Especially when netizens saw the events related to animals in the news.
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
iving with nine beautiful women. [Ding! Welcome back to the Joyous Sect, Host…] Lin Yu: ??? I’m clearly in a shared rental, but you’re saying I’m in the Joyous Sect? Watering plants is now [Tending to Spiritual Flora]? Cooking becomes [Researching Elixirs]? Making the bed turns into [Setting Up Formations]? A gentle and innocent auntie, twin classmates, a mysterious hacker girl on leave, a severely socially anxious artist, an elementary school Chinese teacher, a community hospital nurse, a pet shop owner, an antique clock restorer… This system… is kinda interesting.
