Reborn as the Harem King-Chapter 100 Unexpected Event

On Saturday, the interview at Huanyu had already captured the attention of countless people.

In Zhou Yi's super topic, many were eagerly anticipating what those who went to the Huanyu interview had witnessed and whether the benefits and treatment Jiang Ruolan had mentioned were real.

Wu Ying had been posting in the super topic since early morning, but out of professional integrity, she couldn't take photos to share. Thus, she simply described everything they experienced after entering Huanyu.

However, numerous people simply didn't believe her.

Just as they finished the interview and left Huanyu, they opened their phones to find that several trending topics about Huanyu had suddenly appeared on the hot search list.

[Huanyu]

[40 is not even half of a lifetime]

[Zhou Yi]

[We must allow ordinary people to exist in this world]

Li Hua blinked: "What's going on? Why are these topics flooding the super topic?"

Wu Ying excitedly clicked on the topics: "It's a live stream! Was our entire interview process live-streamed? If so, my actions today would be so embarrassing!"

Li Hua instinctively frowned: "It's unlikely to be Huanyu's official live stream. Look at the angle—it's clearly off. It seems more like... a hidden camera."

When they opened the live stream replay, the angle only captured Zhou Yi and Jiang Ruolan, not the interviewees.

Moreover, it was from an overhead perspective, which was clearly not the right angle.

If it were an official Huanyu live stream, it wouldn't be from this angle, nor would they have kept it from the interviewees.

But the focus of everyone's attention wasn't on the perspective of the live stream, but on what Zhou Yi had said during it.

Originally, the live stream had very few viewers. Many didn't even know what was going on, mistaking the scene for a TV drama due to Zhou Yi and Jiang Ruolan's striking appearances.

However, the person who live-streamed had deliberately tagged Huanyu, which eventually caught the attention of Zhou Yi's fans. They then shared it in the super topic, drawing countless people to watch the replay.

During the live stream, the viewership was minimal, so Gao Wenhao's subordinate thought nothing of it. Little did he know, the replay would go viral.

He deleted the live stream replay too late—Zhou Yi's fans had already screen-recorded it and posted it in the super topic.

Soon, more and more people who were following the Huanyu interviews saw the live stream, and some of Zhou Yi's words resonated deeply with many. As a result, Huanyu ended up trending.

[Holy cow, the benefits Huanyu mentioned are real!]

[As a 30-year-old who quit my job and can't find another, Zhou Yi's words hit me hard. I was just told by my family that I've achieved nothing at 30.]

[Yeah, there's nothing wrong with being 40. I don't understand why some companies refuse to hire people over 40. What did we do wrong? Is it just because of our age?]

[I wasn't laid off, but being forced to resign is even worse. After 40, you hardly get any interview invitations.]

[40 isn't even half of a lifetime, yet we're already being discarded by companies. Is it really that hard for ordinary people to get a job?]

[Actually, I like what he said: "We must allow ordinary people to exist in this world." We're just trying to survive. Why expect us to do the work of three people? Society has become so twisted.]

Many in the comments resonated deeply.

Some were forced to leave their jobs because of their age.

Others couldn't find work due to their age.

This made even young people worry: if we reach 40, will we face the same predicament?

In this era where capitalists want to squeeze three people's worth of work out of one, being "ordinary" has become a flaw.

If you're just a graphic designer, the company expects you to not only handle graphic design but also photography, 3D work, and if it's a media company, you'd better know how to manage operations, write WeChat articles, and some absurd companies even expect you to double as a salesperson...

What should be several positions are now compressed into one "exceptional" person.

Why are we forced into this rat race? Because if you can't do it, there's always someone more desperate to take on multiple roles.

Thus, your "ordinariness" becomes a flaw.

Even if you're proficient in your own job, the company will choose someone who can multitask. Capitalists only care about cutting costs, not the plight of workers.

Over time, most companies have become like this, and society has grown twisted.

In most companies, young people are paid low wages to do the work of three people.

Because if you won't do it, someone else will.

Occasionally, the outcry of young people will trend, sparking resonance among many. But then what?

Nothing changes.

Society continues to operate this way, and one or two people can't change anything.

As for those aged 40 and above, their needs aren't even acknowledged.

It was at this moment that Zhou Yi told you:

He has no expectations of you. Doing your job well is enough.

40 is only halfway through life. You still have infinite possibilities.

Slacking off at work is normal. A balance of work and rest is the best state.

A 9-to-5 schedule is the most basic treatment a company should offer. Social security and housing funds are the guarantees a company should provide. Benefits and perks are what employees deserve.

Overtime and late nights are slogans only incompetent bosses push.

...

In this live stream, Zhou Yi said many things.

These were just a few of his words, but they struck a chord with countless workers.

The live stream reignited several discussions.

About employment age, maternity leave, the rat race...

At this moment, Jiang Ruolan and Zhou Yi also saw the trending topics.

"Mr. Zhou, we found it. The camera is here. It seems someone sneaked into the company while we were away and installed it."

Jiang Ruolan frowned as she looked at the tiny camera in her hand, then handed it to Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi smirked and narrowed his eyes.

Who was this fool who had just given him a helping hand?

With the trending topic, his popularity exploded.

He casually tossed the camera onto the table. "It's fine. Though I'm not sure what their intentions were, they've given Huanyu some good publicity. I should thank them."

Jiang Ruolan also smiled. "That's true, but we should still be cautious. Huanyu is like a ship that's just set sail, and we're bound to face many storms."

Zhou Yi nodded. "Right. Later, let's change the locks and hire two security guards."

Jiang Ruolan scrolled through the trending topics, then frowned slightly as she looked at Zhou Yi. "Mr. Zhou, should we explain to everyone that this wasn't our doing?"

There were also numerous comments questioning whether Zhou Yi was putting on a show.

Zhou Yi nodded. "I'll give you the company's TikTok account. From now on, you'll manage it. Whenever Huanyu faces any issues, you can issue statements to explain."

Jiang Ruolan received the password for the account [Zhou Yi's Assistant] and logged in.

At 1 PM, Jiang Ruolan released a statement.

The main points were:

First, the live stream was not authorized by Huanyu but was posted by an unknown person who had infiltrated the office and installed a camera.

Second, the content of the live stream was genuine, and every word Zhou Yi said would be honored.

Third, Huanyu was pleased to have garnered so much attention and would prove itself over time in the face of skepticism.

Fourth, they would find the unknown individual and pursue legal action against them.
