Reborn in 2000: Starting from Pursuing the Pure High School Beauty Desk Mate Chapter 172 : How did he manage to do it

Chapter 172: How did he manage to do it?

Chen Fan's request was not unreasonable at all.

In fact, even if he didn't say it, Sun Congcong was planning to report it that way.

Then Chen Fan casually asked if the Yunhai Daily had an online version.

"Yes," Sun Congcong took a bite of the dish and explained, "We're considered a city-level newspaper, so we have dia sections on both Xinlang and Souhu."

"But our accounts don't have much traffic, and the news we report usually doesn't attract much attention."

Chen Fan smiled, "Maybe this piece of news will go viral. And then Reporter Sun will beco famous too."

"Yeah, right."

Sun Congcong shook her head with a smile, and then continued explaining, "Let be honest, don't get mad, okay?"

"Actually, incidents like this fight and brawl are not even considered news most of the ti, and dia reporters are too lazy to report them."

"What's the reason? It's because they're not hot topics, readers aren't interested, so naturally the dia and newspapers don't want to waste ti reporting them."

"This ti, it's only because my old classmate Ding Dian asked for a favor, otherwise I wouldn't have made a special trip for sothing like this."

Chen Fan chuckled, "What you said makes sense, but I think a good piece of news doesn't have to be a hot topic."

"Sotis a piece of news needs a selling point to beco popular."

Sun Congcong showed a wry smile.

She was a little annoyed. Chen Fan was lecturing her.

Didn't she understand better than him about being a reporter?

To be honest, she couldn't see what selling point this incident had.

However, Sun Congcong kept her word and didn't break her promise.

After going back, she submitted the article, which appeared the next day on the third page of the Yunhai Daily in a tiny corner that was almost invisible if you didn't look carefully.

In fact, after submitting the news, Sun Congcong didn't pay much attention to it, since it was just a favor for an old classmate.

She didn't think this news could have any substantive impact on her.

However, the change happened so quickly.

In just one morning, when Sun Congcong entered the newspaper office in the afternoon, she saw a colleague excitedly running over to her.

"Congcong, you've hit the jackpot! The news you wrote yesterday has gone viral."

Sun Congcong was completely confused. Viral? What went viral?

"Hey, not the newspaper, online. Your report went viral online."

Before the colleague could finish, Sun Congcong saw the editor-in-chief coming out of the hallway.

"Congcong, co to my office for a mont."

The colleagues around imdiately showed envious expressions.

"Congratulations, Congcong. You're going to make it big."

"Don't forget about us, okay?"

Sun Congcong entered the editor-in-chief's office in a daze.

Half an hour later, she ca out still dazed.

Sitting at her desk, listening to the colleagues whispering around her, it took Sun Congcong a long ti to snap out of her confused state.

The editor-in-chief had just told her that the report she submitted yesterday had gone viral.

And it had exploded simultaneously on three major portal websites, with over ten thousand clicks and even hundreds of comnts.

Sun Congcong quickly opened her computer and the Xinlang website.

She searched for the Yunhai Daily account in the news section.

At a glance, she saw yesterday's news report.

Among the news on this page, the other reports basically had only dozens or even single-digit clicks.

Only Sun Congcong's report had directly soared to over twelve thousand clicks.

She clicked the page and saw hundreds of comnts below.

Sun Congcong was dumbfounded.

It turned out that what the editor-in-chief said was true.

This piece of news really went viral.

But until now, Sun Congcong still couldn't figure out how this news went viral?

Out of curiosity, she opened the comnts section, and the more she read, the more dumbfounded she beca.

The comnts were all over the place. So were just posting nonsense to increase the comnt count, so were aggressively gawking.

Of course, there were more people cursing profusely.

Soone said they knew Li Hu, that guy was a scumbag. Those with eyes could see posted so incidents of Li Hu bullying others in the past.

Soone said they were a college student and had personally witnessed Li Hu bullying girls at the school gate.

There were also people posting the details they knew about the incident in the comnts.

"I can stake my character and guarantee that the report in this news article is true, everything the girl said is true, and that Li Hu was completely talking nonsense."

"I can also vouch for it, I'm from the sa school as the girl, I believe my junior sister."

"Junior sister, keep it up, we support you."

"Damn, which hospital is that Li Hu in? Don't let find out, I'll kill him."

"How dare he bully a girl from our school, he's asking for it."

Sun Congcong started to get a sense of what was happening.

These comnts seed to all be from Liu Lingling's classmates, did Liu Lingling rally them?

But there were many more comnts that left Sun Congcong confused.

For example, soone comnted that they were a bartender and had personally witnessed Li Hu dragging a girl into the won's restroom at a bar. He even threatened her not to call the police.

Soone else adamantly claid to have seen Li Hu brutally beat up an elderly street vendor woman, leaving her badly injured.

Reading the comnts where these netizens were listing Li Hu's alleged cris one by one so assertively, they portrayed Li Hu as an unforgivable scumbag.

Sun Congcong was perplexed.

"How could there be so many eyewitnesses? And how did this group of people all rush to comnt under this report at the first opportunity?"

In that instant, Sun Congcong seed to have guessed sothing.

Soone was guiding the narrative.

Although the concept of internet brigades didn't exist in this era yet, Sun Congcong was not stupid. She guessed that soone was guiding the narrative and deliberately hyping up this news.

And from the comnts, it was evident that this group was fanning public opinion.

After this stunt, in the eyes of all uninford netizens, Li Hu had beco an unforgivable scumbag.

Who did this?

Almost without thinking, one person ca to Sun Congcong's mind.

Chen Fan.

She recalled Chen Fan casually asking her yesterday if this news would be posted online.

And the words Chen Fan had said, that for a piece of news to go viral, it's not just about being a hot topic, it also needs a selling point.

Sure enough.

What was originally an ordinary news report had beco a viral sensation after this hype.

Not only was it seen by more netizens, but earlier, the editor-in-chief had also lavishly praised Sun Congcong.

He even personally instructed that this news be assigned to Sun Congcong for follow-up reporting and continued coverage.

For a mont, Sun Congcong felt excited, her heart pounding rapidly.

Originally, it was just a favor for an old friend.

Who would have thought it would turn out like this, with her inadvertently basking in soone else's glory.

Especially that Chen Fan...

Wracking her brain to recall Chen Fan's appearance from yesterday.

Yesterday, the impression Chen Fan gave her was very low-key, and he didn't look that handso either.

But now, Sun Congcong saw Chen Fan in a new light.

This person was really sothing else.

In just half a day, he was able to sway public opinion.

It felt like he could make clouds form or disperse with just a wave of his hand.

Only...

Sun Congcong still didn't understand.

How exactly did Chen Fan manage to do it?
