After Being Cyberbullied,I Went Berserk

chapter 1

My name is Julia Cooper. My employee Layla Johnson accused me in a livestream of refusing to approve her marriage leave.

She said, "The low marriage and birth rates in our country are caused by vicious capitalists like you!"

"You won't even approve my marriage leave. What am I in your eyes? You don't see me as a person at all."

"I really regret believing you back then. You said you wanted to start an all-women company and create a female-friendly workplace. And now? Your true colors as a vicious capitalist have finally been revealed!"

As soon as the video was posted, it instantly went viral. Countless young people empathized with her.

They all started cursing me online, and some even found my home address and sent me razor blades.

As the boss, I went live directly to confront her head-on.

I said, "Sorry, I can't approve Layla's marriage leave.

"She can resign and go for labor arbitration, or she can sue me in court, but I just won't approve her marriage leave."

The livestream went viral that day.

Many supporters of Layla claimed to be lawyers and expressed their willingness to help her sue me for free.

Layla showed a hesitant expression. "I just wanted to take marriage leave, never thought about resigning, let alone actually suing Julia."

As soon as she said this, the comments section went completely out of control.

[Oh my god! Look at what she's been pushed to!]

[Shes still speaking up for Julia.]

[Julia, you're a demon, you're mentally controlling your employees!]

[Who's a lawyer? Quick, sue her! This woman must pay the price!]

[She's definitely jealous of her employee! She can't get married and doesn't want others to either!]

In an instant, I became a "cold-hearted, oppressive, vicious female capitalist."

My assistant Lily Moore and a few female colleagues couldn't stand it and quietly defended me off-camera.

"It's not like that!"

"Layla actually..."

"Ms. Cooper is nothing like what everyone says."

Their voices were soft but clearly picked up by the microphone.

The livestream viewers instantly got angry.

[Did everyone hear that? She's threatening other employees!]

[Those girls are still speaking up for Julia.]

[Oh my god, this company is so scary, and the other employees are so awful.]

[Those women have all been brainwashed by Julia! They're blindly defending her!]

[Is this some kind of cult company?]

My phone vibrated wildly on the table, Alex Fowler's name flashing on the screen.

That's my investor.

I ignored it.

I quietly stared at the insults on the screen.

They called me "inhumane," "crazy," "psychopath."

In the end, I personally ended the livestream in front of millions of viewers.

The screen went black. This livestream ended in my complete defeat.

Layla gained everyone's sympathy online. And I became the "jealous boss, a manipulative and vicious capitalist controlling the entire company."

The next day, as soon as I entered the company, the operations director rushed into my office, pale-faced.

She said, "Ms. Cooper, something's wrong!"

"All our company's products have been removed from all platforms.

"The platforms stated that our company's values have serious issues.

"All our partners have unilaterally sent termination letters."

The company is in a shutdown crisis.

As soon as she finished speaking, the office door was kicked open.

Alex rushed in, eyes bloodshot.

He slammed his phone onto my desk.

He pointed at my nose and roared, "Julia, you dared to hang up on me yesterday?"

"Are you out of your mind?"

"For an intern, are you going to ruin the whole company?"

Before I could speak, Vice President Violet Wood stepped in front of him.

She said, "Mr. Fowler, please calm down."

"Ms. Cooper is the most upright person. If she did this, she must have her reasons."

Alex sneered, "Violet, have you been brainwashed by her too?"

"What benefits did she give you? Why are you all defending her?"

Violet did not answer.

She took out her phone, logged into her real-name social media account in front of him, and posted an update.

[I swear on my character, Ms. Cooper is the best boss. She is absolutely not the kind of person described online.]

Immediately, Lily, who spoke in the livestream yesterday, along with several female employees from the tech and marketing departments, commented on the post with their real names.

[Our company has the best atmosphere in the industry, and Ms. Cooper would never bully us.]

[Ms. Cooper is very kind to each of us.]

[We support Ms. Cooper!]

This post, along with all the comments, quickly sparked heated discussions.
