Chapter 617 The Genius Showed Up
Charles completed his viewing session and delved deeper into the unfolding saga, gaining a rough understanding of events that transpired after he drifted off to sleep the previous night.
The actions of Lucas had left a sour taste in his mouth, not only pushing his flawed product but also targeting Sebastian and his father online.
Digging further, Charles unearthed Lucas's history of social media vitriol, even against his mother.
Determined to take action, Charles wasted no time. After breakfast, he fired off a message to Sebastian, saying, "Sebastian, there's no need to keep me anonymous anymore."
Sebastian quickly replied with a call. "Have your parents agreed?" he inquired.
"I can make my own decisions," Charles asserted.
"Alright. I've been wanting to do this for a while. So many people have been impersonating you and profiting from it. I couldn't stand those rumors any longer," Sebastian confessed.
The most outrageous incident occurred during the product's initial launch. An acquaintance invited him to dinner, which led to photographs surfacing, implying the acquaintance's involvement with SolomonAI. Capitalizing on this association, the acquaintance falsely claimed to be the anonymous seventh member of the SolomonAI team, securing investments before disappearing without a trace.
Feeling uneasy, Sebastian hastily ended the call and reached out to Fiona via WhatsApp to verify the incident.
Upon receiving Fiona's confirmation, Sebastian promptly instructed the alteration of the creative team, replacing "Anonymous" with "Charles."
People who had been paying close attention to this immediately noticed the change.
[Charles? Who is Charles? I've never heard of such a big shot in our industry.]
[It's unlikely to be a six-year-old child.]
[Solomon's making a fuss about a mystery team member. He's just a team member, after all.]
[Handling netizens is challenging. Revealing or concealing his identity won't satisfy them. Should he do a live broadcast to prove himself?]
Shortly after, chatter about this mysterious netizen surged.
[This person is like a prophet!]
[Wow, Charles is planning a live broadcast. The official account confirmed it; it's happening at seven tonight!]
It was revealed to be the AI team's official account, announcing a live Q&A session about SolomonAI that evening with all seven members of the creative team, including the mysterious Charles.
What's more, SolomonAI's overseas account mentioned Lucas, inviting him to join the evening's live broadcast—an unexpected turn of events for Lucas, who had spent the entire night fending off Solomon's instigation without any knowledge of Charles.
Nevertheless, Lucas accepted the invitation, aiming to capitalize on the situation to promote his product further. Despite its dubious quality, the product garnered over two hundred thousand paid users overnight, proving lucrative for Lucas.
The anticipation for the live broadcast reached fever pitch among internet users, accompanied by fervent speculation about Charles's identity. Amidst the search, someone leaked a tantalizing detail. "Well, it might be a coincidence, but Solomon's CEO's son is named Charles..."
As the evening approached, netizens prepared snacks and eagerly awaited the live broadcast. However, tensions rose when the scheduled start time passed without commencement, prompting anxious inquiries.
[If you're trying to ride the wave of popularity, I suggest you change your approach. This hotspot has already passed. Why don't you say that Solomon's CEO's son is actually a daughter? That would generate even more interest.]
[Oh, right. Let’s just say Charles is a child prodigy at the age of six!]
[Facebook, please stop recommending these stupid remarks to me. Thank you!]
The leaker posted several bewildering comments in a row. [This world is too confusing. No one believes the truth anymore.]
It was almost seven in the evening. Netizens had bought all the snacks they needed. They gathered with their friends, waiting for the official account to start streaming. However, when the clock striked seven, the live broadcast had not started yet, and the crowd became restless.
[They didn't stand us up, did they?]
[What's wrong with Solomon?!]
[If they stand us up, Solomon's reputation will be ruined!]
The official account hurriedly responded, "Regarding the issue of livestreaming involving minors, we are actively coordinating and requesting patience.
[Who's the minor?]
[A minor?]
[But the creative team are all adults. Who could it be?]
[Isn't it obvious? It's Charles!]
[Oh my god, Charles is a minor?]
The comments section buzzed with confusion until, after a delay, the live broadcast finally began. As each member of the creative team appeared on screen, anticipation grew, especially for the mysterious Charles.
When the seventh window illuminated, revealing a delicate and beautiful face, the revelation left the audience stunned.
[Secretary Woods?]
[Oh my god! Secretary Woods is Charles? This is the juiciest gossip ever!]
Fiona, addressing the audience, explained the situation, reassuring them of appropriate supervision due to Charles's minor status.
The screen was filled with numerous question marks and exclamation marks again.
"Darling, it's okay." Fiona glanced at her side.
Then, a slow-moving child appeared in front of the camera.
"Alright, now that all seven creators are here, I announce that our live broadcast officially begins today! Please introduce yourselves, everyone!" Sebastian started.
Soon, it was Charles's turn to introduce himself.
"Hello, everyone. My name is Charles, and I am the seventh engineer of SolomonAI."
As Charles made his introduction, a wave of astonishment and speculation flooded the comments section.
[I can't believe it. Is Solomon really using the president's son to create hype as the seventh engineer?"]
[Charles is so cute and obedient!]
Sebastian, amused by the comments, addressed the viewers, "It seems everyone has questions and enthusiasm for our seventh engineer!"
[Sebastian, snap out of it! What's with this seventh engineer nonsense? Don't tarnish your reputation over this. How old is he?]
[This is absurd. Why not recruit a child prodigy for the children's group? Don't play games with us!]
