Chapter 375 Dead end?
".HKUST Weibo was flushed?"
Listening to the news from Wang Qingchen.
Tian Liangwei was suddenly stunned.
Although he is over 60 years old, he still understands the meaning of the word "Chong" - it refers to the influx of a large number of abnormal comments on Weibo in a short period of time, causing regular comments to be suppressed at the bottom.
It is similar to the previous "explosion bar".
Then soon, Tian Liangwei realized another thing:
I am just the dean of the School of Life Sciences of HKUST. Although I have the title of academician, I am at most a high-level member of HKUST.
In terms of administration, it is far from the concept of a ‘talker’.
After all, HKUST currently has 37 academicians. At the same time, for most people, there is only one choice between scientific research and administration.
The group that really decides the policy is the vice-principal, the principal, and the school directors.
And now, because of Xu Yun’s words and deeds, HKUST’s official Weibo, a social media that represents the image of the school, has been innocently affected
Then this matter is the same as Tian Liangwei's administrative power, and the level has exceeded his capabilities.
Think of this.
He couldn't help but take a deep breath and asked Wang Qingchen:
"Xiao Wang, what are the schools going to do now?"
The person on the other end of the phone, Wang Qingchen, hesitated for a moment and said after careful consideration:
"The details are still being discussed, and it may take some time before the results are released."
"Today, most leaders of the School of Life Medicine and School of Physics insist that Dr. Xu is innocent, and several other leaders are neutral."
“However, there are still a few leaders who believe that no matter who is right or wrong, HKUST should not bear the pressure instead of Dr. Xu, so they should sever ties with Dr. Xu as soon as possible.”
Tian Liangwei was silent.
Tell the truth.
He could actually understand the thoughts of those who wanted to distance themselves from Xu Yun.
After all, colleges and universities are complex places with conflicts of interest and power struggles.
In fact, let alone HKUST.
This is true for any university at home and abroad. It can be said that no university in the world is a pure academic paradise.
Although Xu Yun's Huadun Biotechnology Department has excellent potential, it actually has no interest relationship with other colleges - such as the Department of History of Science and Technology and Archeology of Science and Technology, the College of Environmental Science and Optoelectronic Technology, and the Department of Thermal Science and Energy Engineering.
They have no real dealings with Xu Yun, and they may not even have heard of Xu Yun's name.
in this case.
You let them take risks for Xu Yun for no reason?
This is obviously impossible.
This has nothing to do with being 'short-sighted' or 'pedantic', it is a normal choice based on their own circumstances.
Think of this.
Tian Liangwei couldn't help but glance at Xu Yun who was standing aside, and then lowered his voice and asked Wang Qingchen:
"Xiao Wang, who is on Xiao Xu's side now?"
Wang Qingchen quickly reported several names:
"There are Vice President Pan, Academician Zhao Zhengguo, Professor Lu, Professor Du, Academician Jiang, Professor Ma. And Vice President Zhang."
Tian Liangwei suddenly felt certain.
Many of the people reported by Wang Qingchen are the backbone of HKUST and have great influence.
Among them, Vice President Zhang was Zhang Rui who informed him that HKUST was preparing to conduct a live broadcast of the disinfecting after Xu Yun's drug test made big news.
Including Academician Pan, there are now two vice presidents supporting Xu Yun, so the University of Science and Technology should be able to stabilize for the time being.
Tian Liangwei then chatted with Wang Qingchen for a few more words and hung up the phone.
After ending the call.
Tian Liangwei sat back down and looked around a few times.
The content of the exchange between him and Wang Qingchen just now was very clear, so at this time many participants were already browsing the Weibo of HKUST.
Can be seen via mobile phone.
The most recent Weibo content on the official Weibo account of the University of Science and Technology is an excerpt, which was posted four hours ago.
General situation.
Weibo posts like those from HKUST generally only have three to five comments. Occasionally, a topic can reach double figures, and then that’s it.
An alumnus of HKUST once jokingly said that if the number of comments on HKUST’s official WeChat account exceeds 500 one day, then there is a 95% chance that a certain big shot will win the Nobel Prize.
This is also a common problem on Weibo in most colleges and universities. It’s too cool.
But at this moment.
The number of comments below the HKUST Weibo post is impressive.
7423!
And every time it is refreshed, the number will skyrocket by dozens or even hundreds.
Keep developing like this.
If HKUST did not control reviews, there would be at least 30,000 people in the final comment section, or even more.
Among them, the most popular comment is nicknamed "Get up and eat cake", and the content is:
[I came here because of its reputation. I heard that your school can teach people to ride on multiple boats and pua the opposite sex? 】
The number of likes for this comment has exceeded 5,000, and the number of paragraph comments has exceeded 70.
The other comments below are similar.
The milder ones are yin and yang, and they play tricks to hurt others.
The more violent ones started to attack the school and Xu Yun, saying things like, "You deserve to be in C9 too" and so on.
In addition, there are some people who are just watching the fun and don't take it too seriously, and they have been clamoring for replies like "Waiting for deletion of comments".
There is no doubt about it.
Public opinion has taken hold.
After a while.
Xu Yun, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke and said to Gu Qunqing:
"Aaron, how are the sales of our products now?"
Gu Qunqing raised his eyelids and glanced at Xu Yun, then shook his head:
"Not too optimistic. According to our after-sales feedback, the product has shown a downward trend since related topics emerged."
"In the last half hour, the sales of the product have almost stagnated, and there have been a large number of refunds and negative reviews."
"If the current gaffe continues, the situation may get worse."
Gu Qunqing kept paying attention to Xu Yun's expression when he spoke, for fear that the young chairman's mentality would explode.
But what made him relieved was that Xu Yun's performance was normal.
Although his face was still solemn, the tight facial lines showed that he was not relaxed inside, and there was even a little sweat on his forehead.
But the whole person's sanity is obviously still there.
This is somewhat good news.
In fact, Xu Yun's mentality was calmer than Gu Qunqing thought.
After all, his experience is there - although he has never encountered this situation in his previous life or in the dungeon, so being anxious is definitely unavoidable, but he is not at a loss.
Then Xu Yun took a few big breaths, forced himself to calm down, looked at Gu Qunqing and said:
"Aaron, let's look at it this way, let's go in two directions."
"You stay in the company to take charge of the overall situation, try to appease the employees' emotions, and urge the legal department to complete all the processes that can and should be done."
"Why don't we go to Director Yang Hongzhi of the High-tech Zone and ask him to help us report the case? The high-tech zone has many more names than us."
Gu Qunqing nodded:
"No problem, Dr. Xu, where are you?"
Xu Yun then pointed at himself and continued:
"As for me, I will go back to HKUST with my teacher first and see if HKUST has any solutions."
Looking at Xu Yun who was assigning tasks, Tian Liangwei flashed a hint of worry in his eyes and suggested:
"Xiao Xu, why don't you go back to school now? There is an executive lounge here in the company. You can stay here to avoid the limelight."
Unexpectedly, Xu Yun shook his head, turned around and stared at Tian Liangwei, his attitude seemed very firm:
"Teacher, I can handle it."
A large part of the reason why Tian Liangwei didn't want Xu Yun to return to HKUST was because he was worried about the student population at HKUST.
Mentioned earlier.
From the perspective of passers-by, this incident was a pure coincidence:
"One Mantis" "did many evil things" beforehand, but because most of the victims were ordinary people, the news was not exposed.
As a result, a certain Internet celebrity fell into the trap today. While exposing product problems, he also found dirt on Xu Yun.
Driven by numerous trolls, most passers-by are actually no longer willing to delve deeper.
Therefore, if Xu Yun chooses to return to school at this time, what awaits him will definitely be huge pressure - or at least criticism.
But for Xu Yun, he had to return to HKUST.
At present, Huadun Biotechnology has just been established, and what it can do for this kind of thing is actually quite limited.
The most you can do is call the police and make an announcement, and buy some trolls to appeal for reason.
Not so with HKUST.
Whether in terms of scale, connections, influence or other aspects, HKUST is much larger than the current size of Huadun Biotech.
So if there is any chance for Xu Yun to make a comeback, it must be in.
HKUST!
In the conference room.
Looking at Xu Yun with a firm attitude, Tian Liangwei was silent for a moment and nodded:
"Okay, you can take my car and let's go back to school together."
Xu Yun then handed over some things to Gu Qunqing, and the meeting was dissolved.
After going downstairs.
Xu Yun followed Tian Liangwei to the parking lot.
Tian Liangwei's car was an Audi A6L. When he walked to the car, Xu Yun subconsciously prepared to take the keys and start driving - this is basic etiquette for juniors.
However, Tian Zhigang shook his head at him and pointed to the other side:
"Xiao Xu, you can take the passenger seat and I'll drive."
Xu Yun was slightly startled, but he didn't insist too much. He obediently came to the passenger seat and sat in it.
Tian Liangwei was obviously worried that his mentality was unstable at this time and he would be prone to accidents while driving, so he passed the steering wheel.
If it were any other time, Xu Yunbao would still beeping with Tian Liangwei.
But today.
Xu Yun himself was a little unsure.
After all, he is not a superman, and it is very rare to be able to keep his bottom line and not lose his mentality when encountering such a thing.
It is simply impossible to have a completely calm mind and pretend that nothing happened.
In this situation, if Xu Yun is allowed to drive, an accident may occur if he is not careful.
If there really is a car accident or something.
Then you can just watch a movie about Kennedy - it will be a lot of fun.
So in desperation.
Xu Yun could only sit in the passenger seat and let his mentor become the driver.
Tian Liangwei skillfully reversed, started, and got on the road, while Xu Yun took advantage of this free time to look at his mobile phone.
Due to the previous meeting, he had set his mobile phone to silent in advance and kept it upside down on the table without opening it from beginning to end.
As a result, the screen opens.
The lock screen wallpaper is instantly filled with various message prompts.
Among them, there were 117 missed calls and more than 2,100 text messages.
Xu Yun took advantage of the situation and clicked on a text message and found that the number was a strange one from a different place. The content was:
[Scumbag, I am xxxxx, your whole family will be raped sooner or later! 】
Xu Yun was silent for a moment, manually deleted this text message, and read a few more randomly.
The number of words may be longer or shorter, but the content is almost the same:
Sprayed Xu Yun's household registration book all over.
Even when he was reading these text messages, there were some new messages appearing outside.
It's obvious.
Xu Yun was unboxed, which meant his contact information was exposed.
How to say it
Discussing this matter alone would not surprise Xu Yun.
In fact, he was ready for this after seeing the hot search.
After all, personal privacy leaks these days
It's really nothing unusual.
For example, a student took a video of his teacher claiming that the Jinling Massacre actually did not kill that many people, and posted it online.
As a result, all his information was published online the next day, and thousands of abusive text messages from the Jingri Party flooded into his mobile phone overnight.
Not long ago, Sichuan Normal University invited Professor Bangzi to give a lecture. The professor said, "The Dragon Boat Festival belongs to us Bangzi." One student couldn't help but spray wheat, and the information was also exposed the next day.
Not to mention the existence of competitors behind this matter, it is too easy to open Xu Yun's box.
Fortunately, with the development and iteration of mobile phones these days, bombing harassment no longer has the only option of shutting down the phone like in the early years - Xu Yun clicked on the phone settings and chose to only receive calls and text messages from the address book whitelist.
The entire interface instantly became much cleaner.
Tian Liangwei, who was driving, glanced at Xu Yun and asked:
"Xiao Xu, were you bombarded with text messages?"
Xu Yun nodded:
"Well, as expected, I have already blocked it."
Tian Liangwei sighed secretly while controlling the steering wheel.
Although he has seen a lot of related news on the Internet, this is the first time he has personally witnessed the online explosion of unboxing.
When this kind of thing happens to someone close to him, even if he is a dignified Chinese academician, he feels a little powerless at this time.
And the other side.
After handling the text messages and phone calls, Xu Yun continued to read WeChat.
Same as SMS bar.
The WeChat address book that has not turned off the WeChat ID and mobile phone number search functions now displays 999+ friend applications.
When I clicked on the page, I still saw a series of cordial greetings.
Tell the truth.
When Xu Yun saw so much negative information one after another, within a few seconds, he even had the urge to spray it back
However, he finally restrained this thought, and with slightly trembling fingers, he set the WeChat account to be unsearchable.
The situation Xu Yun was facing now was just like the car he was riding in, which firmly imprisoned him in a closed space, which was watertight.
Then he clicked on the chat item on the far left and looked at various dialog boxes.
Friends who frequently use WeChat should all know it.
WeChat is the same as QQ. The latest news will be automatically updated at the top for users to check.
Therefore, when Xu Yun opened the WeChat conversation bar, the first ones were naturally the group chats he had joined.
On the far left of each group chat, several Hongzhi are clearly displayed:
【Someone@me】
The group chat listed in the first row is called the '2019 National Modeling Competition Communication Group'. Xu Yun joined it when he participated in the modeling competition. The number of people is over 300.
A small number of the members are teachers and event administrators, while the majority are participating students.
This is also one of the few non-USTC groups among all Xu Yun’s groups.
Xu Yun had the impression that this group had been out of date for a while, but at this time, the news was constantly being refreshed.
Xu Yun clicked in without much hesitation and found Aite's own location through the index.
【National University of Science and Technology-Zhang Yang】：
"@中科大学-Xu Yun, (picture) (picture) (picture), the person involved seems to be in the group, why don't you come out and explain?"
The picture this person sent was the screenshot of the blogger who smeared Xu Yun's PUA, and his tone made it clear that just watching the fun is not too big a deal.
Below this person's remarks, the comments are much more complicated.
【Jinling University-Lin Ziming】：
"Damn it, it's true. Brother Xu got the first grade in the country for modeling, right?"
[Guilin University of Electronic Science and Technology-Zeng Wenna]:
"Brother, you are so stupid. You are a scumbag. I am disgusting."
[Harbin Institute of Technology - Street boy who turns screws]:
"@Guilin University of Electronic Science and Technology-Zeng Wenna, we haven't decided yet, let the bullets fly for a while."
【East China University of Science and Technology-Guo Yin】：
"You're laughing. The WeChat recording and the abortion certificate have been posted, but it's still unclear? Let's stop pretending to be a lucky customer, okay?"
【Western Polytechnic University-Qiquan】：
“@华东UST-Guo Yin, your school’s essay about headphone cables seems to have published a lot of evidence. What happened next?”
Further down, there are all kinds of mutual insults.
See this situation.
Xu Yun shook his head and chose to withdraw from the group.
He didn't try to explain it in the group, because the matter had reached this point and it could no longer be cleared up with a one or two-sentence reply.
Then he watched a few more HKUST groups, and the contents of the discussions were similar.
Some people support themselves and say they will wait and see if there is a reversal.
Some people think that ability, performance and character have nothing to do with each other, and Xu Yun is a scumbag.
There are relatively more of the latter, both men and women.
no way.
There is also a gap between short essays and short essays.
Some short compositions have no logic and are all about emotions. In fact, everyone has developed some immunity after doing so many times.
But some short compositions are different.
For example, this article written by "Who Can Save Me from the Devil's Claws" lists the time and place very clearly.
In addition, the forged chat records and screen recordings are still very inflammatory.
After reading the contents of these group chats, Xu Yun once again felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
It’s too difficult.
Then he lowered his gaze again, from the group to the friend chat box, and was ready to be sprayed.
I have more than 300 friends, but I don’t know how many people will criticize me?
One hundred and fifty?
Or a hundred?
With this somewhat decadent mood, Xu Yun read on again.
But when he saw the message for the first time, he was slightly startled.
I saw that the first person to leave messages from friends was Qiu Sheng.
After making three voice calls but not getting connected, this guy directly sent a message:
“Have you found out which company did it?”
These eight simple words made Xu Yun's eyes warm.
This is the first message he has seen to support him since the incident happened.
Xu Yun then continued to pull down.
Soon after, he saw a message from Academician Pan:
"Don't be impatient and wait for the results of my meeting."
Academician Pan followed Lu Chaoyang’s words from behind:
"Everything is normal in the research team, hold on, there is still justice in the world."
Further back.
Xu Yun also saw news from some other WeChat friends.
【Zhou Peiyao】：
"Senior, hold on!!!"
【Tang Yiqiu】：
"Brother Xu, something happened on Weibo, someone is hacking you."
【Chang Licheng】：
"Xu Shen, I won't ask about the situation. I just want to tell you one thing - there are hundreds of people walking up and down the building on No. 14, and no one believes this little essay!"
【He Jiajia】：
"Come on, junior fellow, we don't believe that little essay, we are waiting for you to prove your innocence!"
【Zhang Heguang】：
"Son, do you want to live with dad for a while?"
"."
Looking at these messages of mindless support for him, Xu Yun's nose suddenly felt a little sore.
There was a faint warmth in the almost numb heart.
Original
There are still people who believe in themselves.
A total of 68 friends, except for two high school classmates, are all on his side.
Especially since many of the messages are from girls, it is even more difficult in this situation.
Xu Yun just continued to pull down the chat box.
But after looking at it, after scanning a certain message, he suddenly froze.
It was a very brief message, and the sender was.
Xu Yun’s mother!
【Mom】：
"Son, Academician Pan just called me. Your dad and I have learned about the situation."
"I'll use your dad's words to tell you our attitude - 'If you had the ability to tread a few boats, could you still turn a blind date into an interview?'"
"Currently, the phone line at home has been unplugged. Your dad and I have set up whitelists on all our mobile phones. Grandpa and grandma, including your grandparents, are temporarily staying at your uncle's house. Remember to keep your mind stable and don't worry about anything at home."
I read the message from my mother.
Xu Yun was silent for a long time, then suddenly raised his head, sniffed, and blinked several times quickly.
After a while.
He took a deep breath, sat upright, and a trace of vitality appeared in his somewhat red eyes.
True.
Reality is not a cartoon, and Xu Yun will not exaggerate like the second to fourth generation Hokage shouting, "I must not lose because I bear the name of XX."
But on the other hand.
His mentality has indeed become much calmer, at least.
My hands no longer shake.
Just like when he saw the data in the background when he was writing a novel in his previous life, Xu Yun knew that there were many, many people supporting him and telling him one thing:
He is not alone.
He wasn't sure whether this power could create a miracle, but at least it gave him the motivation to fight back temporarily.
Of course.
That’s true, but
Where is the breaking point? (End of chapter)
