The three-person team first prepared the script for this video, trying to anticipate the reactions and possible scenarios after its release, and then each got busy with their respective tasks.
However, the project assigned by Xu Yan was already completed.
Now they had a new project to focus on, which naturally required most of their time.
After all, that was their main job.
Even though there wasn’t as much bonus this time, Han Shuangshuang’s new video had to be squeezed in whenever possible.
While Chen Yao was so busy she barely had time to drink water, she still found a moment to ask Han Shuangshuang,
“Since your account is taking off, are you still planning to keep this job?”
Han Shuangshuang had only recently become a full-time employee.
Normally, she would definitely focus on working hard to get promoted and earn raises.
But she happened to have a stroke of luck and gained a big opportunity, becoming a minor internet celebrity.
Already, there were private messages from people wanting to collaborate on ads, and she and Chen Yao were still sifting through them.
It seemed that in the future, this account could earn her much more money than her job as a small-time employee.
However, she didn’t have much savings yet.
For Han Shuangshuang, who only had a numerical concept of having so many followers, the idea of quitting her job had never crossed her mind.
She replied to Chen Yao,
“Of course, I’ll keep working. I like this job; it’s really interesting.”
In truth, there was another reason.
The salary from this job was stable.
Although the young boss didn’t involve himself much, he was a wealthy second-generation heir and had never delayed paying salaries.
Han Shuangshuang was actually unsure about making money as an internet celebrity and could only take it one step at a time.
If in the future she couldn’t balance both jobs, she’d have to make a choice then!
Chen Yao sent her an “awesome” emoji.
Han Shuangshuang wasn’t sure what Chen Yao meant by that, but she didn’t press further.
Before leaving work that day, Han Shuangshuang had already edited the video and posted it on her account.
Soon, her followers received the notification and clicked to watch.
At the beginning of the video, Han Shuangshuang was holding Xiao Bai in front of the camera.
The two of them sat in a stairwell, a slightly dim space where Han Shuangshuang’s expression looked quite dejected.
“Today, I want to share something that really upset me, and it’s related to Xiao Bai. I’ve mentioned before that I decided to adopt Xiao Bai because she helped me find a colleague who had fainted.”
“Yesterday, I went to visit that colleague. She still hasn’t woken up, and because there’s no family member to sign off, she can’t undergo detailed examinations. No one knows why she hasn’t regained consciousness”.
“The only family member who can sign is her brother, but he refuses to do so. Even though my colleague has her own money and wouldn’t need his, he just won’t sign.”
As she spoke, Han Shuangshuang’s eyes reddened.
“When I first joined the company, this colleague took me under her wing. I’m so grateful to her, and I can’t believe she’s going through this. I’m really angry for her. You can see what I filmed back then. I wanted to take a video for other colleagues who couldn’t visit, to reassure them. But I ended up capturing this scene.”
The video then showed what Han Shuangshuang had filmed, starting from the hallway to entering the hospital room.
All individuals were blurred, and the audio was processed, but even so, the words spoken made the viewers’ blood boil.
After this segment, Han Shuangshuang continued,
“We’re preparing to use legal means to obtain the medical decision-making rights for my colleague. I’m determined to save her!”
The video ended within three minutes.
Han Shuangshuang, who already had a bond with Xiao Man, spoke with such emotion that it moved many people.
The comments were mainly divided into three groups: one group praised Xiao Bai for always being so kind and saving people, another thanked Han Shuangshuang for her kindness, and the third condemned Xiao Man’s brother for his despicable behavior.
Xiao Man was also satisfied with the final product-she had contributed her acting skills!
Before filming, Chen Yao had put eye drops in her eyes.
During the shoot, Xiao Bai mostly maintained an innocent and pitiful expression but subtly adjusted her reactions based on Han Shuangshuang’s words.
Half an hour after the video was posted, some sharp-eyed viewers finally noticed this.
“Did you notice? Xiao Bai’s expressions change according to what Sister Xiao Bai says. When she talks about the colleague being unconscious, Xiao Bai looks sad; when she mentions the brother refusing to sign, Xiao Bai looks angry! Conclusion: Xiao Baï’s acting skills far surpass those of celebrities!”
Han Shuangshuang’s account was named “Xiao Bai and Her Sister,” so the comment section referred to her as Sister Xiao Bai.
This comment received countless likes, with many netizens praising the sharp observation.
Han Shuangshuang couldn’t help but give it a like too.
When she rewatched the video, she also felt that Xiao Bai’s acting was extraordinary, even better than hers.
She had already processed her sadness earlier, so bringing it up again during filming didn’t affect her as much emotionally.
It took her a while to get into the right mood.
After a night of circulation, by the time Han Shuangshuang went to work the next day, her video had already garnered many shares and likes.
However, it still fell far short of the previous “two vicious dogs attack” and “attack dog owner becomes hero dog” incidents.
After checking the data, Chen Yao sighed,
“In this world, people aren’t as valued as dogs.”
Su Mingxuan shrugged, and Han Shuangshuang gave a helpless smile.
It was true.
The buzz around humans attacking dogs was greater than that of dogs attacking humans, which in turn was greater than humans harming humans.
Moreover, as the video reached more non-followers, another wave of comments emerged, arguing that Xiao Man’s brother had a point-hospitals do overcharge, so he shouldn’t sign.
Well, the world has too many people.
With a large enough sample size, you’ll see all sorts of oddities.
To amplify the impact, Han Shuangshuang personally paid for local promotion, aiming to get the video seen by people around Sister Man’s brother.
With the powerful matching capabilities of big data today, she was confident it would work.
Before leaving work that day, Han Shuangshuang saw a notice in the large group chat of the content creation department.
They were organizing a two-day, one-night team-building event during the double weekend before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and participation was voluntary.
Han Shuangshuang hadn’t attended any team-building events since joining the company and was hesitating whether to sacrifice her weekend for it when Chen Yao privately messaged her:
“Sign up! Our company’s team-building is more like a vacation. Once we’re there, it’s all fun! I’ve been wanting to visit this resort for a while. Let’s go together and share a room!”
Chen Yao was a senior at the company, so Han Shuangshuang trusted her.
However, she glanced at Xiao Bai beside her and asked,
“Can I bring Xiao Bai?”
Chen Yao:
“Of course! This time, our department has invited several bloggers, including pet bloggers, so the destination is pet-friendly! We can also use this as material for a few videos.”
Han Shuangshuang felt relieved upon reading this.
Xiao Bai was smart, but she was still a dog, and Han Shuangshuang couldn’t bear to leave
her alone at home for two days.
Han Shuangshuang signed up and hugged Xiao Bai, laughing,
“We’re going to have fun this weekend. Are you excited?”
Xiao Man: ‘Excited? Of course! I’ll be the one walking you!’
Han Shuangshuang laughed even harder at Xiao Bai’s expression.
“You’re so excited you’re rolling your eyes. You must really be looking forward to it.”
Xiao Man: “…”
You’re human, you have a mouth, you can say whatever you want.
After learning about the team-building event, the employees in the content creation department were a bit distracted, but with tasks piling up, they still had to focus and work overtime.
Ever since she started bringing Xiao Bai to work, Han Shuangshuang felt happier even when working late.
With Xiao Bai by her side, she felt motivated in everything she did.
However, the outcome of exposing Xiao Teng’s actions online wasn’t satisfying.
Han Shuangshuang had already seen videos from locals who claimed to know the people in her video.
They said that when Xiao Man had just started university, her parents died in a car accident, and her brother kicked her out of the house without giving her a single penny.
Xiao Man had even caused a scene to survive, and the entire neighborhood remembered it.
Han Shuangshuang finally understood why Sister Man and her brother had such a strained relationship—he was a monster!
Later, his name and workplace were revealed online.
While some supported him, the majority condemned him.
And then… nothing happened.
Because what he did wasn’t illegal, just morally wrong.
Beyond public pressure, there was nothing else to be done.
His workplace didn’t care about public opinion, and neither did he.
So the matter would fade away.
Han Shuangshuang could already sense this from Xiao Teng’s attitude, but when it actually came to this point, she still felt disheartened.
When she visited Sister Man these past few days and saw her frail, pale figure lying in the hospital bed, Han Shuangshuang couldn’t help but feel guilty.
She should have done better.
But by Saturday, Han Shuangshuang had pulled herself together and brought Xiao Bai to the company’s gathering spot.
The content creation department had over twenty people, plus the invited bloggers, filling up a single bus.
To Han Shuangshuang’s surprise, she saw the injured young boss, Feng Qing, leaning on crutches, and the acting new boss, Xu Yan, at the gathering spot.
At that moment, Feng Qing was leaning on a crutch with one hand and resting the other on Xu Yan’s shoulder, grinning as he said,
“Work can wait, but team-building is a must. It’s my duty as the boss!”
Xu Yan rolled his eyes. “Get treatment for your illness.”
Feng Qing was used to Xu Yan’s cold remarks and continued smiling.
“Hey, I’m already getting treated. The doctor said it takes a hundred days to heal from a bone injury. You managing things for a month isn’t enough. How about half a year? I need half a year to recover properly!”
Xu Yan brushed off Feng Qing’s hand, ignoring him.
Feng Qing didn’t mind at all.
Just as he was about to say something, he noticed Han Shuangshuang walking over with Xiao Bai and immediately hobbled over on his crutches.
“Hey, is this Xiao Bai?”
He stopped in front of Han Shuangshuang, steadied himself, and then extended his crutch toward Xiao Bai, speaking in a slightly teasing tone,
“Come on, Xiao Bai, shake hands.”
Xiao Man: “…”
Get treatment for your illness!
She slapped the crutch away with her paw.
When she was human, of course, she had to humor the young boss.
But now she was a dog, and dogs had no fear!
Feng Qing, standing steadily on one foot, wasn’t affected by the slight push of the crutch.
He raised an eyebrow.
“This little dog has quite the temper.”
Han Shuangshuang stood awkwardly beside him, forcing a stiff, uncomfortable smile.
But Feng Qing’s attention clearly wasn’t on Han Shuangshuang.
He turned back and called out to Xu Yan,
“Yan Yan, you’re not afraid of this dog, are you? I’ve seen its videos. It’s smart and definitely won’t bite!”
Xu Yan: “…”
Everyone else, along with their dogs and cats: “…”
