Guo Ping nodded, quickly swiping through the tablet's screen to pull up a series of headlines.
"Typically, when a scandal breaks, articles are spaced out," he began, his voice shaky. "This gives the public time to digest each wave of information before the next one hits. It's a strategy to keep the momentum going and stretch out the controversy."
He swallowed hard, glancing at Xu Jingli for a reaction. The silence in the room felt heavy, oppressive.
"What I'm saying is true," Guo Ping continued. "Most celebrity scandals are released this way. The first article simmers, and just as it starts dying down, the second one is dropped. This ensures maximum engagement for the person behind it."
Guo Ping hesitated before tapping the screen, bringing up a graph of the article timestamps.
