No wonder the investigation was progressing so slowly.These people had already formed an independent circle of interests; they wouldn't easily leak anything.
They made big money off insiders, then recruited others to join and kept making big money.
There were no traces of this recommendation online, so it had to be an offline referral—everything from collecting the medicine to paying was an entirely offline procedure, completely bypassing the internet's big data checks.
This whole network of connections was old-school and unstable—for example, someone like Guo Xinya would casually leak things to a regular colleague like Xiao He without taking many secrecy measures—but it was efficient and quick for making money. It fit these people’s mentality of making a pile of cash and running.
After returning to the hotel, Xiao He used hacking techniques to trace Xu Youyou’s account and indeed found a fixed monthly advertising payment.
In other words, Kemingen officially cooperated with Xu Youyou and paid her advertising fees according to a contract.
And that advertising fee was naturally the payment Xu Youyou received for recruiting people.
Xiao He counted the string of zeros until his eyes almost went green.
So much money!
Really, way too much!
Although these people did pay some taxes for appearances, there was still so much money left over!
Besides, Xiao He was certain they were stingy about handing most of it over for taxes.
—So the money they made would only increase, never decrease!
Brazen, utterly brazen!
I already warned you once and you still dared to do something this big? Report them! I have to report this!
Whether or not they've already targeted me, my heart isn't great right now—I just want to report it!
Xiao He started composing anonymous emails with a flurry of tapping.
Over the next few days, after the script reading was completed, everyone prepared to officially start filming and carry out related promotional activities.
Before the auspicious start date, several of the main cast of Corner Also each took a set of character photos for the upcoming publicity.
But as everyone knows, whenever an IP adaptation is announced, the original fans are the most easily rattled.
The same held true for Corner Also.
Even though some people had noticed that the drama’s director was actually the original author of Corner Also, that couldn't stop their upset reactions.
The first fans to arrive at the scene began criticizing the season-one lead cast—
—While everyone was debating these topics, a group of fans aimed their anger directly at Xiao He.
More precisely, they couldn't accept Xiao He playing Yin Qi.
[Although Yin Qi’s later personality is a bit… (no spoilers), I really can’t imagine Xiao He playing early-stage Yin Qi.
Because the production currently didn’t show many obvious faults, no one felt comfortable making huge accusations. Original fans could only hurl insults and secretly pray in some corner of their hearts that the Corner Also team would behave—if they were going to film it, just film it, but please don’t do the usual extreme alterations.
But now there was one person everyone focused on: Xiao He.
Starry Radiance had aired not long ago and its aftereffects hadn’t faded. Many people remembered Xiao He, and most still associated him with Meng Zetian. Xiao He was now playing a role that didn’t fit that image, so the public criticism immediately concentrated on him.
