Daily Intelligence: Forced to Save the Beautiful President at the Beginning

79: Chapter 79 A gambling father, a sick mother, a younger brother in school, and a broken woman.Less than half an hour later, a message came back: ”Found it. The guy is named Zhang Fan, and he’s the boss of Singularity Technology. Their company just released a game recently called ’star path: reboot’, and it’s quite popular.”

”Singularity Technology? ’star path: reboot’?” Pei Yunxiao’s pupils constricted. ”Damn! This, this...”

That’s right! He still had this game installed on his phone! Just a few days ago, he was showing it off to his classmates, saying how well the starry sky scenes were made in this game. He never expected the boss to be the person who ”snatched” Song Zhiwei away!

A mixture of humiliation and anger surged into his heart. He felt like a fool, playing someone else’s game while that person had pried away his ”possession.”

He clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white, and a flash of sinister murderous intent flickered in his eyes: ”Zhang Fan... Singularity Technology... I won’t let you off easily!”

He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. As a college student who only knew how to act rich by relying on Song Zhiwei, he had no connections and no real skills; his mind was filled only with petty schemes regarding romantic entanglements.

He first thought about finding a few buddies to ”teach” Zhang Fan a lesson, but then he reconsidered—’star path: reboot’ supposedly had tens of millions of players. As the boss, how could Zhang Fan not have bodyguards? If he failed to hurt the other party and ended up sending himself to the police station instead, it wouldn’t be worth the loss.

”I can’t use force, so I’ll ruin his reputation!” Pei Yunxiao’s gaze turned sinister. He recalled how, in order to make Song Zhiwei jealous before, he had hired online trolls to smear a ”competitor” on the school forum, and the results had been quite good.

He pulled up a number in his contact list labeled ”Li the Troll” and dialed it, his tone vicious: ”Old Li, help me pull something off—spread a rumor that Singularity Technology relies on the Song Family’s capital to launder money, packaging ’star path: reboot’ as a ’legitimate game’ when it’s actually a money-laundering tool. Money is no object. I want everyone to know that Zhang Fan is just a gigolo who relies on women!”

Li the Troll on the other end of the line agreed immediately: ”Don’t worry, Brother Yunxiao. I’m familiar with this. By tomorrow morning, the rumors will be plastered all over game forums and social media platforms!”

After hanging up the phone, Pei Yunxiao leaned back in his seat, a self-righteous smirk curling the corners of his lips. He believed that as long as he ruined the reputation of Singularity Technology, Song Zhiwei would see Zhang Fan’s ”true colors” and obediently return to his side.

Meanwhile, Zhang Fan had just finished organizing player feedback for ’star path: reboot’ and was preparing to go to sleep. Before bed, he habitually glanced at the system interface, and a vague red warning suddenly popped up: [Warning: Target Pei Yunxiao has contacted a troll team and plans to launch a public opinion attack against Singularity Technology tomorrow. The core rumor is ”capital money laundering.”]

Zhang Fan frowned, but he wasn’t too nervous—the Fu Family’s large-scale public opinion suppression hadn’t brought down Singularity before, so the trolls hired by Pei Yunxiao, a student with no foundation, probably wouldn’t amount to much.

However, he was always cautious in his actions, so he still opened the chat box with Gu Jingshen and sent a message: ”Old Gu, help me keep an eye on the game forums and social media platforms tomorrow. Someone might hire trolls to spread rumors about our company. Once there’s any movement, contact the Cyberspace Administration immediately to delete the posts, and check the source of the trolls while you’re at it.”

Gu Jingshen replied quickly, adding an arrogant emoji: ”Don’t worry! Trolls only have that much ability; they want to play a public opinion war with us? I’ll have people watch it 24/7. Oh, and I’ll tell Xiaoxue as well. I guarantee that as soon as he posts it, it’ll be wiped clean!”

Zhang Fan looked at Gu Jingshen’s reply, smiled, and put down his phone.

He lay in bed, thinking about the information on Pei Yunxiao in the system.

Although he hadn’t met him, judging from the system intelligence, this person had a significant influence on Song Zhiwei, so it was better to be on guard; preparing in advance was never wrong.
