"That's good, then we'll borrow the shoulders of giants," Li Yang said with a mysterious smile.
"How do I borrow it?" Song Tian'er asked curiously.
"Borrow the Heavenly Ladder!" Li Yang's eyes narrowed, a cold glint flashing within them.
"Let's go to an internet cafe and use the computers to spread some information," Li Yang instructed Song Tian'er.
Song Tian'er immediately obeyed the order and drove to a high-end internet cafe. The two of them turned on two computers, which were next to each other.
Song Tian'er simply turned on the machine and then ignored everything else, focusing solely on watching Li Yang operate it.
Li Yang's amazing hand speed and understanding of computers greatly surprised her. As a top student, he also had certain requirements for computer operation.
But watching Li Yang play, she felt his skill level was almost on par with her university professor's. This kid was indeed hiding his true abilities; how many more secrets was he concealing?
Song Tian'er couldn't help but stare blankly at Li Yang's profile, realizing for the first time how charming his profile was, especially when he was engrossed in his work.
What Li Yang did was simple, but not so simple in practice. He used his hacking skills to infiltrate the Meiya Group's website and steal a large amount of data and information. Then he infiltrated the forums of major portal websites and posted all sorts of information, especially information about shady operations, kickbacks, inferior products, and items of dubious origin, on the forums and pinned them to the top of the recommendations.
Of course, the executives at Meiya Company weren't idiots to record such things. In fact, Li Yang simply used their legitimate information and then casually added some fabricated information from a large amount of data. Of course, much of this information came from Mei Fu's brain, since he was involved in a lot of behind-the-scenes operations.
This kid is a spendthrift, and often doesn't dare ask his father for money, leaving him to clean up his messes. So he uses his position to embezzle money from within the company.
Of course, this will raise many questions. Although it leaves no trace, this is the internet, which is all about spreading rumors and doesn't require real evidence.
Moreover, he also knew from Mei Fu's heart that some people had already experienced problems after consuming the counterfeit and substandard food products he was handling, but he had simply suppressed the issue by spending money.
After posting these messages, which mixed his own half-true and half-false information with confidential internal documents from Maya Company, he quickly ignited the enthusiasm of netizens. After all, the traffic of popular websites is astonishing, and with the moderator's top recommendation, it quickly attracted the attention of a large number of people.
Another issue is the recent high-profile case of the girl who jumped off the building at the Meiya Supermarket. It has been brought up again, with claims that the young master of the Mei family was a monster who raped and murdered a young girl, and a series of specific and seemingly true details have been listed.
Before long, it became a hot topic online, especially since Meiya Group is a well-known group in China. The Jiangdong Municipal Government's website became particularly popular, with a surge in traffic that even caused the municipal government's website server to crash.
Chapter 46: Can I treat you like a goddess?
"Is what you're doing useful? It's just spreading rumors. If they handle it properly, it will be a free advertisement, and the effect will be very good." Song Tian'er was no mere ornament; after seeing Li Yang's actions, she couldn't help but ask with some doubt.
"Don't worry, this is just the beginning. Come on, let's go see your father." Li Yang smiled mysteriously, still full of confidence.
Song Tian'er didn't notice that Li Yang's wording in each post contained some veiled meaning. Of course, anyone with a discerning eye would immediately understand that this was a manifestation of the political struggle in Jiangdong City, and that some people wanted to target Mei Ya to intimidate the people behind her.
Mei Ya is an ally of the newly appointed municipal party secretary Cai Lan. After all, Cai Lan is a native of Jiangdong City, which is his stronghold and base of operations. Most of the people in the government and party were promoted by him.
To target Mei Ya is to target him. At this sensitive moment, there is only one person more willing to compromise than him: the newly appointed mayor, Ye Qing, whose power base is unstable and who is eager to expand his influence.
The saying "a new broom sweeps clean" means this; he wanted Cai Lan to make concessions and give him a chance and time to catch his breath and establish himself.
Li Yang's brilliance lies in this: the so-called "borrowing the ladder to heaven" refers to borrowing Mayor Ye Qing's ladder to create momentum for him. Regardless of whether he did it or not, people will assume it was him.
He had no choice but to be led by the nose and carry out this task. Otherwise, if he couldn't defeat the enemy with one blow, and the enemy retaliated, it would be his own death.
"Why do you want to see my father?" Song Tian'er was confused. She had a feeling that Li Yang definitely had a backup plan and was very confident.
But she had no idea what it was.
"I have a brilliant plan!" Li Yang once again kept everyone in suspense.
"Ouch...you're hurting me! If you want to scratch, scratch a few inches further in! Scratch anywhere you want! Scratching my thigh here hurts so much!" Li Yang grimaced and rubbed his thigh, crying out in pain.
Song Tian'er's cheeks flushed slightly, but she said smugly, "Serves you right for keeping me in suspense!"
She understood perfectly well what Li Yang meant by telling her to grab something, but she wasn't about to fall for it.
Li Yang said dejectedly, "You don't even know how to flirt. You have no romance at all!"
"Get lost! Who's flirting with you! You little brat!" Song Tian'er spat at him, but she wasn't really angry.
“Where am I small? You’ve seen me, yet you still say I’m small,” Li Yang retorted, clearly dissatisfied.
Song Tian'er glanced at his crotch and said disdainfully, "How much do you think you have?"
"Damn! Just because I'm not showing my power doesn't mean I'm Garfield! Let me show you my invincible cannon!" Li Yang said, unbuckling his belt to reveal his weapon.
Song Tian'er panicked a little and said anxiously, "Alright, alright, we're on the street now, people believe you!"
"Believe in what?" Li Yang was also aroused by her, his eyes burning with lust as he stared at Song Tian'er.
"Believe... your big... Oh, you little bastard! Did you do this on purpose! You framed me!" Song Tian'er froze as soon as she spoke, then realized she had fallen for Li Yang's trick. She immediately became furious and grabbed Li Yang's thigh with her Nine Yin White Bone Claw once again.
Li Yang screamed and shrank back.
"Can't you be a little gentler? No wonder you're still single at your age!" Li Yang muttered under his breath.
"What did you say?" Song Tian'er said coldly.
"I said you caught it so well, I really want to do it again!" Li Yang said cheekily.
"Cutting off legs is disgusting, dream on!" Song Tian'er said with a sneer.
"Hehe...yes. My legs are filthy, but your chest is definitely not dirty. Let me touch it, okay?" Li Yang said, staring lecherously at Song Tian'er's chest.
"Go to hell!" Song Tian'er roared.
"It's just talk, he didn't actually touch you. Whose side is your dad on?" Li Yang suddenly asked.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Song Tian'er didn't react for a moment.
"As expected, big heads are no good... Ah, I said, is your dad the Party Secretary or the Mayor?" Li Yang narrowly avoided Song Tian'er's grab and said.
