Of course, topics involving differences between men and women can never be definitively debated.
More than two hours passed, and the debate ultimately ended inconclusively.
Elliot didn't care; he was after popularity and
The highest number of concurrent viewers for this live stream exceeded 150,000, setting a new record since he started live streaming.
His total
Elliot was in a good mood.
Emotional anchor Teacher Maggie was also in a good mood.
She was also a winner in this live stream, which brought her a lot of traffic and attention.
"Brothers, that's it for today, I'm going offline. If you have anything you want to say, you can email me. Bye bye!" Elliot waved at the camera and turned off the live stream.
The long debate had left his mouth dry. He got up to pour himself a glass of water, then returned to the computer and opened his email account, which was set up overseas.
He had already received tens of thousands of emails in his inbox.
Elliot browsed through them. Most were abusive emails from haters, with only a small portion seeking help.
The content of these help requests was varied. Some people said they had no money for food and hoped Elliot could give them some tips; some wanted to find Elliot to advertise; and some... In short, there were all sorts of strange requests.
This made Elliot couldn't help but sigh, the online world is truly full of wonders.
Suddenly, an email subject line caught Elliot's attention.
{Maggie is a liar, asking the streamer for help!}
"Maggie?" Elliot was puzzled. This name was very familiar. He immediately realized that this wasn't the emotional anchor he had just connected with?
With a hint of curiosity, Elliot clicked on the email.
{Hello streamer, my name is Jared. I watched your live stream where you helped Noah, so I want to ask for your help.
Maggie is a very famous emotional anchor on TrendTok, with over six million followers. Six months ago, I spent $2,700 to purchase her emotional course. The contract said Maggie would provide one-on-one guidance, but when I actually attended the class, it was a female lecturer, and this female lecturer didn't teach me at all. She just made me watch videos. These videos were pieced together from other emotional anchors online and were completely misleading... I just want her to refund my money...}
After reading the entire email, Elliot understood what was going on.
Now there are many anchors online who, under the guise of emotional consulting, investment and financial management, and entrepreneurial guidance, sell various courses and defraud their followers.
Teacher Maggie is one of them.
"Teacher Maggie, how could you be selling courses? I thought highly of you, but bah, what nonsense!" Elliot spat.
If Elliot had known earlier, he wouldn't have debated with Maggie for so long, wasting his breath. He would have just cursed her to death.
After complaining, Elliot clicked on Maggie's TrendTok homepage.
Six million followers, in the emotional anchor category, she can be considered a Boss.
Then he looked at her showcase:
*The Art of Picking Up - Price $140 (45,899 items sold)*
*Getting Out of Singledom is That Simple - Price $300 (8,099 items sold)*
*Teacher Maggie's Emotional Course, One-on-One - Price $2,700 (669 items sold)*
...
$2,700, is this the one-on-one course that Jared mentioned?
669 items sold, which means 669 people spent $2,700 to buy the course.
Damn it, selling courses is so profitable.
Elliot was a little surprised.
Then, Elliot saw the phone number Maggie left on her TrendTok account, and then skillfully opened the
<[System Notification]>
[Hacking successful.]
With the previous experience of Sweet Nina, Elliot directly searched for files like financial statements on Maggie's phone.
Soon, he found more than a dozen financial statement files.
<[System Notification]>
[Please enter the password.]
He randomly opened a file, which was password protected.
First, decrypt it.
Elliot opened a brute-force cracking tool.
Half an hour later, the cracking failed.
Teacher Maggie's password was quite complex, and simple brute-force cracking wouldn't work.
Elliot thought for a moment, got up and walked to the side, and plugged a network cable into a server.
This server was assembled by Elliot at a high price and was his main "combat tool."
Elliot started a password cracking program on the server, and then proceeded to crack the financial files.
According to the program's estimate, the cracking time would take about seven hours.
"Hello, I'm Little Boy." Elliot sent a message to Jared.
Ten seconds later, Jared replied, "Boss, I didn't expect you to reply to me, thank you so much!"
"I read the email you sent and want to understand the situation in detail. It wasn't very clear in the email."
"Okay, okay, can I talk to you by voice?"
"Yes."
Soon, Jared sent a voice message, detailing how he was deceived by Maggie.
It turned out that Jared was already thirty years old this year and had been single. Seeing his friends getting married and starting families one by one, he also started to feel anxious, so he thought about finding an emotional teacher online to learn some dating skills.
"I'm very curious, Maggie's course is so expensive, $2,700 is not a small amount. Are you a trust fund kid, do you have money?" Elliot asked.
"No, I'm just an ordinary office worker." Jared explained, "At that time, I also hesitated for a long time, but Maggie promised that as long as I bought her 'one-on-one' course, she would guarantee that I would get out of singledom within three months, and if I didn't, I would get a full refund."
"Refund? You actually believed something like that?" Elliot was a bit speechless.
"Alas!" Jared sighed, his tone full of regret, "I was possessed by a ghost at the time and actually believed her nonsense."
"So, now you're asking her for a refund, and she refuses, right?" Elliot asked.
"She is now refusing to refund." Jared said indignantly.
"Did you sign a contract?"
"I did, but later I consulted a lawyer and found out that the contract didn't have a refund clause at all." Jared paused, then continued.
"Did the lawyer say you could get a refund?" Elliot asked.
"It's difficult." Jared's tone was low, "The lawyer said that the chances of me winning this case are not high because there is no refund clause in the contract, it's difficult to win."
So that's how it is.
After listening to Jared's story, Elliot understood.
This favor is not easy to help with.
Still, let's first download all the information on Maggie's phone to see if we can find any evidence of Maggie's illegal activities. If we can find it, it will be easy to handle.
Thinking this, Elliot downloaded Maggie's phone information.
Ten minutes later, the data download was complete.
Elliot took a rough look. There was a lot of data and he couldn't finish reading it for a while.
Let's talk about it tomorrow.
Time to sleep.
Yawning, Elliot got up to take a shower and go to bed.
