165: My account is gone?

Inside a star-rated hotel.

An influencer named Ai Ai lay in Hong Shan's arms, scrolling through the comments under her new video.

Half an hour had passed since the video was posted. Besides the usual praise from her old fans, many of Zhang Mantong's fans had come over, drawn in by the scripts used by the internet water army!

Under the deliberate guidance of the scripts used by the water army arranged by Hong Shan, the comment section of her video gradually turned into a smear campaign against Zhang Mantong.

[Sister Man has disappointed me so much. I thought she was a Baimi, but it turns out she's just a Canary!]

[I think Ai Ai has a lot of class. Is her family quite wealthy?]

[Ai Ai is beautiful, has a sweet voice, and a great body. She totally blows Man Tong out of the water!]

Seeing the view count rise steadily in the backend and the follower count ticking up every second, Ai Ai was filled with joy.

Although stepping on Zhang Mantong like this would offend her to the death, how could she bear to miss an opportunity to climb higher?

Moreover, to show off his influence to Zhang Mantong, Hong Shan had poured a lot of money into promoting this video!

From the looks of it, reaching several million views and gaining tens of thousands of followers wouldn't be a problem!

You should know, she used to do suggestive content like crazy, twisting her hips and waist in every video, yet the views only reached a few hundred thousand at most.

If she could ruin Zhang Mantong's reputation this time, she might even be able to take over the other's traffic and transition into the Baimi niche!

Living in a mansion, riding in luxury cars, and carrying designer bags—even if it was fake, it would still feel amazing!

Thinking of the scene where she had countless followers and was surrounded by praise, Ai Ai was so happy that even Hong Shan's fat face started to look pleasant to her.

The price for all this was just being humped a few times by Hong Shan.

"Young Master Hong, you're so vigorous!"

Ai Ai said coquettishly.

Hong Shan, who was panting slightly, immediately grabbed her waist and said dominantly.

"As long as I want, Dongmeng can push you to Zhang Mantong's position at any time!"

"If a tiger doesn't show its strength, do they really think our Dongmeng is a pushover?"

"Since she's unwilling to sign with Dongmeng, she'll have to spit out all the traffic in this niche to us!"

"With me, never mind being an influencer, it'll be a piece of cake if you want to enter the entertainment industry!"

Although Ai Ai knew Hong Shan was just making empty promises.

But these promises were so enticing!

Dongmeng really did have resources in the entertainment industry, with several minor celebrities under its banner!

Among girls who were influencers, how many didn't want to become stars?

Ai Ai excitedly hugged Hong Shan, wriggling in his arms.

"Young Master Hong, I'm ready."

...The next day.

After waking up, Ai Ai looked at Hong Shan, who was still snoring beside her, and curled her lip.

"So weak!"

However, it didn't matter how pathetic Hong Shan himself was.

As long as he kept investing resources in her, she didn't mind continuing the act.

"A whole night has passed; the views should have broken a million by now."

Ai Ai excitedly picked up her phone.

Before she went to sleep last night, her latest video already had over seven hundred thousand views, sixty thousand likes, and several thousand new followers!

And before this, her highest-viewed video had barely reached a million.

As soon as she turned on her phone, Ai Ai saw a message from a friend.

"Ai Ai, your latest video is gone!"

"Hurry up and appeal to get it back!"

Gone?

Shouldn't it have exploded in popularity?

Having just woken up, Ai Ai didn't react to the message immediately.

Only after seeing the part about the appeal did her expression change.

Her new video had been taken down!

Ai Ai quickly opened Music Note and went to her account.

Sure enough, her latest video was gone!

Ai Ai hurriedly woke Hong Shan up.

A bleary-eyed Hong Shan took out his phone and glanced at it, finally opening his squinted eyes a bit more.

"Was it taken down because someone reported it?"

"Did Zhang Mantong report it?"

"Or the MCN behind her?"

Zhang Mantong's figure instantly flashed through Hong Shan's mind.

After all, she had said yesterday that she had already signed with a company.

It was normal for an MCN to handle things this way.

However, what surprised Hong Shan wasn't the reaction speed of the other party's MCN.

It was the processing speed of the Music Note officials.

They actually took down the new video in just one night?

That video didn't even have that much suggestive content!

"Try to appeal first."

Hong Shan said.

Beside him, Ai Ai quickly began the process.

Not even three minutes later, Ai Ai suddenly let out a cry of surprise.

"What now?"

Hong Shan looked at her, puzzled.

"It's not just the new video; the previous videos are gone too..."

Ai Ai's voice was trembling, filled with a hint of panic.

The next moment, her pupils constricted sharply, and she almost lost her voice.

"My account..."

"What?"

"My account is gone!"

Hong Shan's expression changed abruptly as he snatched Ai Ai's phone to take a look.

"[Your account has been suspended due to violations of relevant laws and regulations...]"

He took out his own phone and glanced at it, only to see that Ai Ai's account had already turned into a string of numbers.

"How did the account get banned?"

Hong Shan was stunned.

"Young Master Hong, can I still get this account back?"

"Sob... I worked so hard to build up over a hundred thousand followers."

"What are you crying for? It's just an account with a hundred thousand followers. Just spend some money on promotion and grow another one!"

Hong Shan, irritated by Ai Ai's sobbing, barked at her.

"What kind of MCN did Zhang Mantong sign with? They're so ruthless?"

"Or does it have nothing to do with Zhang Mantong?"

Hong Shan took out his phone, preparing to have someone from the company investigate.

At that moment, a series of messages popped up continuously.

"Young Master Hong, this is bad!"

"All those Marketing Accounts we were maintaining were wiped out first thing this morning!"

"A dozen or so suggestive-content influencers signed to the company have already been banned!"

"Bloggers in other niches are also experiencing varying degrees of shadow-banning..."

Seeing the messages, Hong Shan felt like his head was about to explode!

Dongmeng started out by relying on Marketing Accounts and suggestive-content bloggers!

Marketing Accounts served as a traffic matrix, publishing press releases for Dongmeng's artists and driving traffic in various ways.

And while suggestive-content bloggers had weaker monetization capabilities, they could grow their accounts quickly!

By coordinating promotions with Marketing Accounts, a suggestive-content blogger account with one or two hundred thousand followers could be created in just ten days or half a month!

Once the account was established, they would live-stream and squeeze money out of the 'big brothers' in the same city. Making money couldn't be easier!

It could be said that the vast majority of local suggestive-content bloggers in Gannan were under Dongmeng!

Dongmeng had developed to its current state by relying on these two major pillars.

And now, upon waking up, you're telling me both pillars of Dongmeng have collapsed?

"Who?"

"Who is targeting us?"
