Chapter 89 The Threat of Opening the Box
Public opinion fermented extremely quickly, and the incident itself was very topical, but Lin Jia knew that the relevant information was not obtained from the company or from his own Weibo.

But in the girlfriends group, Li Xiyin sent a message to her in the group:

"++, you are on the trending search @林甲乙丙丁戊, check Weibo."

"It turns out the origin of armor in Light Armor Technology is so romantic." This was a Weibo post she forwarded to a marketing account in the group.

"Would you like to do an interview with me on Bilibili? I have over 10,000 followers now, so it's a good opportunity for me to respond to netizens' questions and help me get more followers!"

"Cute girl begging.jpg"

After seeing the Weibo post, Lin Jia smiled helplessly. She followed the Weibo post from the marketing account that Li Xiyin forwarded and read some other related discussions and netizens’ speculations.

It was filled with a lot of nonsense, but fortunately Chen Yuanguang was only in his early twenties and did not guess that she was a mistress.

Of course, all kinds of malicious speculation are inevitable.

Lin Jia replied in the group: "Okay, let's shoot @希音 tonight."

Li Xinyin was very excited. This was the best opportunity to increase her followers. She was Lin Jia's good friend. She said netizens would not believe it, but if she invited Lin Jia to her channel to cooperate in filming an interview video, wouldn't that be the proof?

Furthermore, as the hottest event in the past two days, she can definitely go viral with this interview video, which will get at least a million views.

If you can’t become an up-host with millions of followers, it’s not too much to become an up-host with millions of views first, right?
"Okay, ++, I'll prepare some questions first, and then I'll send them to you. You can see which ones you think you can answer and which ones you can't."

Li Xinyin has graduated from graduate school and returned to Shenhai to work. She works as a data analyst in a large Internet company, and at the same time works as an up-host as a side job. She has been doing this for more than a year, and has done quite well thanks to her good looks and high academic qualifications.

When she saw that Lin Jia was willing, she asked for leave on the grounds of having something to do at home, and prepared to go back to prepare the questions and the shooting script. She could not give up this good opportunity.

"Jia Jia, I hope I'm not disturbing you." Li Xinyin came to Lin Jia's house with the filming equipment.

Lin Jia opened the door to greet her: "No, I don't need to bother you with this matter. The public opinion is too fierce. Three of the top ten hot searches are related to me. The national media has personally intervened."

The economy has been in recession in recent years and it has been difficult to find a job. Twenty years ago, there were many news reports about college students starting their own businesses, and college students would also consider starting their own business as one of their options when they graduated.

Later, when the official media reported on college students' entrepreneurship and encouraged them to start their own businesses, the comments below would always be full of sarcasm and ridicule, thinking that the editors behind the official media were out of touch with reality.

Starting a business is a dead end.

Lin Jia's case gave the official media an impetus to encourage college students to start their own businesses:

"Entrepreneurship is a reward for the brave. A Jiangnan University graduate born after 1995 started his own business for only a year and a half and his net worth exceeded 10 billion yuan."

Similar news was reported intensively by official media, who focused on how Lin Jia and Chen Yuanguang started a business together and then received huge returns.

"Isn't this a joke? Using something with a lower probability than buying a lottery ticket to encourage people to start a business."

"All the entrepreneurs around me owe money to the bank, and I think the economy is too good now, right?"

"Can you speak some human language? Isn't it the premise of Lin Jia's success that she has to cling to someone powerful? Besides, for someone like her who drives a luxury car when she is in school, can her ability to take risks be the same as that of ordinary people?"

As expected, netizens were full of criticism in response to the relevant reports, saying that the official media was out of touch with reality.

Li Xiyin asked in a low voice: "Is the God of Light here?"

Lin Jia said: "He is in his own room. The soundproofing of this house is good. As long as we don't sing karaoke, it should be fine.

He is still in a remote video conference with his team in Silicon Valley, so it is not convenient for him to come out to welcome you now."

Li Xiyin waved her hands repeatedly: "It's okay, it's okay."

Just move the camera and aim it at the right position for the face.

"Welcome Lin Jia to my channel. Lin Jia and I have been classmates since elementary school. We have always been good friends. This time, I am very happy to invite Lin Jia to accept an interview on our channel.

This should be the richest guest that has ever come to our channel." Li Xiyin put on light makeup, trying her best not to be outshined by Lin Jia in front of the camera.

But Lin Jia's haggard face and her unique coolness made her stand out in terms of temperament. Her fair skin and distinct facial features were too great an advantage.

After the video was broadcast, fans who were attracted by Li Xinyin's appearance had to admit that Lin Jia was indeed much more photogenic.

"I'm very happy to be able to do this program with Xiyin. There has been a lot of discussion about me online these past two days, and I can be considered to be making some explanations through an informal channel," said Lin Jia.

Li Xiyin: "Regarding the question that everyone is most concerned about, is the source of the light armor technology as everyone thinks, that the light is Chen Yuanguang and the armor is Lin Jia?"

Lin Jia: "Yes, because we were planning to open a company at that time, and no one was good at naming, so we just took a character from our own name to make up a company name."

The whole interview was mostly superficial. Lin Jia deleted all the questions he didn't want to answer, such as his family background, whether his family had provided help in the early stages of his business, etc.

She further explained the relationship between her and Chen Yuanguang. She also had her own little thoughts and wanted to reduce the peach blossom opportunities that Chen Yuanguang might encounter through this indirect official announcement.

Reason told her that it was useless to do so, and the temptations Chen Yuanguang encountered would not be reduced in the slightest because he had a girlfriend. However, emotion made her feel that it was better to do it than not to do it.

"Student Li, you guys are finally done. I just observed when it was almost over. It's not easy to run a self-media. You have to rely on yourself for everything from script to shooting to editing."

When the interview was almost over, Li Xiyin noticed Chen Yuanguang sitting next to her and motioned for them to continue.

Chen Yuanguang spoke only when Li Xiyin stood up to get the camera equipment.

"Of course. Many self-media need a team to operate them after they become big, because it is too tiring and they need someone to share the work pressure." Lin Jia explained.

Chen Yuanguang asked curiously: "Before, I always understood that the self-media meant "oneself" and "independence". Now, it seems that many self-media have become large-scale after becoming big."

Li Xiyin took over the conversation: "The 'self' in self-media can indeed be understood as oneself. Most self-media started out alone, so it is not wrong to understand it this way.

The emergence of the information age and video streaming has lowered the threshold for self-media. At the same time, it has also led to an increasing number of smartphone users. The upper limit of the scale of self-media is being pushed higher and higher.

After the rise of self-media, it is impossible to rely on one person all the time.”

Chen Yuanguang nodded: "I listened to the second half of your speech. I think being able to answer the questions of netizens can satisfy everyone's curiosity."

Lin Jia asked, "You don't have any objections, do you?"

Chen Yuanguang quickly said: "I have no opinion. It's up to you how you want to answer. If I'm not satisfied with your answer, I can explain it myself through Weibo."

Lin Jia was speechless. "If you have any opinions, just say it directly. We can change the question or just cut it out. Why bother posting another Weibo to explain it?"

Chen Yuanguang thought for a moment and said, "I have no objection now. You answered very well. What I mean is that if I have an objection, I don't want to interfere with your interview. This is your interview. It is the content you want to convey. I don't want to change what you want to convey because of my preferences or feelings.

I will explain the content through my Weibo.”

Lin Jia looked at Li Xiyin and said, "This is the straight male mentality.

He is very stubborn and has his own ideas about many things. When he first told me that he wanted to do human hibernation, I was shocked. Is this something a startup like us can do? "

Li Xiyin smiled and said, "This shows that the God of Light has good vision."

Li Xinyin acted quickly and edited the video that evening and gave it to Lin Jia for confirmation.

After the video was released, Bilibili officials gave a lot of traffic recommendations after confirming the identity of the guest.

You have to know that when there are such public hot events, 99% of the time the first response channel is Weibo. How could Bilibili have such an opportunity before?

On such public hot spots, Bilibili can usually only pick up leftovers from Weibo.

"Lin Jia accepted an interview to respond to related rumors" directly came to the top of B station's hot search list with the support of B station's traffic.

The barrage is full of B friends' B talk:
"So beautiful*291"

"No wonder the God of Light couldn't control himself."

"The God of Light is not immune to worldly desires"

“This temperament is also great.”

At the beginning, everyone gave high praise to Lin Jia's appearance. Even the friends who had seen a lot of cyber beauties had to give full marks to Lin Jia's appearance and temperament.

“This is the confidence of the God of Light.”

"There is hope only if you do something that no one has done before. This is amazing."

"Lin Jia has a really good eye. He actually found the God of Light when he was in college."

“It’s a match made in heaven.”

"Why didn't the God of Light leave the country?"

The comments in the interview video are mostly dirty talk, but the comments below the video are much more serious:
"From the interviews with people close to Chen Yuanguang, it seems that he is not an ordinary person. When he started his business, he chose a direction that no one was optimistic about. He used his own money instead of venture capital. With his reputation at the time, it should have been easy for him to get a few million from venture capital."

"This is the confidence of a genius. If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely develop broad-spectrum vaccines. This was a hot topic in the biomedical field at that time. Moreover, with the reputation of the God of Light, there would be many investment institutions willing to invest in that direction."

"Lin Jia is not bad either, with clear ideas and excellent expression. You are indeed a student from a prestigious school. Since you and Chen Yuanguang were dating before you became famous, I will vote for you."

Again, Lin Jia's answer only solved some of the netizens' doubts, because according to reports from netizens on Zhihu, netizens are still confused about some things.

Lin Jia’s family background is one aspect, which was also dug out by resourceful netizens, because Lin Jia once served as a senior executive in their family’s film and television investment company, and that film and television investment company appeared on the list of investors of “Once Upon a Time in Kuala Lumpur”.

After Lin Jia's background was revealed, netizens expressed their admiration for the fact that Lin Jia fell in love with the unknown Chen Yuanguang when he was in college.

Another aspect is whether Chen Yuanguang wrote online articles when he was in college. If so, what was his pen name? And whether he relied on this trick to attract Lin Jia at that time.

Under the questions on Zhihu, more and more anonymous users said that they were Chen Yuanguang’s college classmates and that this was indeed the case.

In addition, with the "Kuala Lumpur Past" series of mystery novels written by Chen Yuanguang, the books and movies are released at a pace of one every year, and netizens are more confident about this.

"Geely asked if you want to make it public?" Lin Jia asked.

After Jenny left, another executive took over to liaise with Lin Jia. With the development of Guangjia Technology, the attitude of the executives of Tencent Video became better and better.

Chen Yuanguang thought for a moment and said, "Let Qidian reply and say that I did write on Qidian, but for privacy reasons, my pen name cannot be revealed."

Chen Yuanguang went back and looked at his previous book friends group, and saw that his book friends were guessing after the incident:
"Do you think it could be the light dog? Chen Yuanguang is also light, and the Giant of Light is also light?"

"I think it's possible. The time when Guang Gou stopped updating was very close to the time when Chen Yuanguang became famous."

“@Light Giant, author, are you Chen Yuanguang?”

"Forget it, whether it's Guanggou or not, he will definitely pretend to be dead."

"If so, do you call him Light Dog or Light God?"

"The one I know is the Giant of Light at the starting point, it must be the Light Dog!"

"Since he's a eunuch, I won't change his nickname!"

"I think you guys are overthinking it. The probability that he is Chen Yuanguang is too low. Chen Yuanguang writes science fiction and mystery novels, while Guang Gou writes Tokyo romance light novels. These two genres are totally unrelated.

I can believe it a little bit if I exchange "Once Upon a Time in Kuala Lumpur" for "Once Upon a Time in Tokyo". I have read the original novel of "Once Upon a Time in Kuala Lumpur". The understanding of Kuala Lumpur and Penang in it is difficult for people who are not locals to write to that extent. "

"You are talking about ordinary people. The Light God is not an ordinary person, and the Light Dog is not an ordinary person either. How can an ordinary person be a top-notch product when he first comes to Qidian?"

A group member who had been lurking for years suddenly showed up: "I think it's possible, because Guanggou said before that he was a college student, the overlap is too high."

Fortunately, there was no IP positioning at that time. If there was IP positioning, these group members would know that Chen Yuanguang’s QQ location was Jiangcheng, and the case would be solved in one go.

"Why think so much? Just go to the social worker to find out his QQ number and see what the real name associated with the Guanggou QQ number is."

Chen Yuanguang was shocked, and then relaxed. Fortunately, the QQ number he used to create the group was a big one, which he had created when he was in junior high school, and the identity of the person he linked to was that of his uncle.

"@Giant of Light, come out and respond, or we'll open the box!"

"My group friends are so gossipy. They have wanted to box me in for a long time. I didn't expect they would really box me in this time." Chen Yuangang thought.

In fact, it’s not that he is indifferent or doesn’t want to chat with his group friends, but that he is indeed getting busier and busier and has no time to chat in the group.

“Don’t box, don’t box, how could I be Chen Yuanguang!” Giant of Light.

　Sorry, I have been sick these days and in a very bad condition.
