Chapter 16



Wen Qianqian lay leisurely on the big bed in the hotel waiting for their next move, but the tension on the other side of the city was not so pleasant. His already irritable personality became even more manic and restless at this moment. He was so angry that he couldn't do anything about Wen Qianqian, and he almost developed an anxiety disorder.

"Ding!" The phone just hung up, and the next second it rang again like a life-threatening call. Zhang Li answered it with a tingling scalp, but was met with a barrage of scolding:

"Zhang Li, if you don't want to work here, just get out. Do you know how much trouble you've caused the company? If I hadn't contacted Weibo to delete the post, even if I sold you today, it wouldn't be enough to compensate for the company's losses!" Sun Liang was extremely furious. He didn't expect that a simple endorsement almost ruined the other company and himself.

Fortunately, Zhang Li was not next to him, otherwise he would have slapped him twice.

Zhang Li had a bitter face and was in a terrible mood: "Brother-in-law, I don't know how things turned out like this..."

"Don't call me brother-in-law!" Sun Liang roared, "How dare you say you didn't know? If you hadn't agreed, how could Wen Qianqian have gone to Wei Jiaer's company? How could she have gotten those photos?"

Sun Liang was so angry that his teeth were itching. "Do you have any fucking idea what the consequences will be if this Weibo post is posted? If this gets out of hand, the police will be alerted! Not to mention Wei Jiaer being investigated, we might even be implicated!"

Zhang Li was unhappy, and still had a somewhat unconvinced tone: "I don't know what's going on with Wei Jia'er. She didn't even take such a confidential matter seriously. She couldn't even control a little girl, and she even got photographed like that..."

"That's enough!" Sun Liang interrupted irritably. "I don't want to hear your excuses. Wei Jia'er is really scared now. She's a bit of a frightened bird. We have to spend some money to deal with them. But the most important thing now is how to get away with this today! If we mess this up again today, I don't care if you are my brother-in-law or not, get out!"

"Yes, yes." Zhang Li was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly assured, "Don't worry, brother-in-law. I will definitely take care of this for you."

"I will go and discuss with Yue Yingxue now and offer her double the endorsement fee to let her take the endorsement. I will also communicate with Wei Jiaer. Yue Yingxue's status is similar to Wen Qianqian's, so they shouldn't object. As long as you, brother-in-law, find someone to watch Wen Qianqian's Weibo and don't let her post anything random, this matter should be able to be resolved!" While there was still a way to save the situation, Zhang Li told all his plans in one go.

Sun Liang snorted coldly: "Alright, I'll give you one more chance. If you make another mistake, I'll make you pay!"

An hour later, the official Xinyi Entertainment account suddenly came online and updated a Weibo post: [Perfectly beautiful, crafted with love, rich and fragrant, nutritious and healthy, Vanguard milk powder leads the world in sales. Together with brand spokesperson @越莹雪, we convey warmth and care.]

As soon as Xinyi Entertainment finished posting it, Wei Jiaer reposted it and also sent a love emoticon, looking very happy.

This operation made netizens a little confused:

[What's going on? Why is the spokesperson changed to Yue Yingxue? ]

[Yes, then what about Wen Qianqian? ]

Confused netizens rushed to Wei Jiaer's official Weibo account to ask:

[What's going on? Why did you suddenly change your spokesperson? ]

[Wen Qianqian refused to cooperate with you, and you immediately replaced her. Is there something going on?]

Wei Jiaer's official Weibo account has been online all the time, and she even personally responded to netizens' questions:

[Dear, we haven't changed our spokesperson yet. Our spokesperson has always been Miss Yue Yingxue.] After replying, she also added a photo of Yue Yingxue smiling while holding milk powder. Above the photo were a few large words: Spokesperson: Miss Yue Yingxue, a famous actress.

Some netizens stared at the photo in silence, feeling like they were watching a suspense film, only to see the situation worsen. However, some netizens were quick to react, not buying into Wei Jiaer's official Weibo account at all. They directly posted a screenshot of the previous official announcement of Wen Qianqian under the official account: "Take a good look at this. Did you guys post it yourself? Did you guys officially announce Wen Qianqian as your spokesperson? How come you forgot what you did two hours ago? Are you kidding me?"

This Weibo post quickly gained support from netizens:

[So, the person who officially announced himself as the spokesperson now regrets it. Isn't that embarrassing?]

[Such a large international company, doesn't it take some brains to run things? ]

[Yeah, we're not blind. The screenshots are there. Aren't you guys being a bit too much of a bully?]

Faced with numerous doubts, Wei Jiaer was not panicked at all and replied calmly:

[It was an intern's mistake, which we have already addressed. We have now changed our spokesperson and welcome Ms. Yue Yingxue to our family!]

Unfortunately, netizens did not seem to buy it. Not only did they not believe it, but they also began to mock it:

"Oh, if something goes wrong, it's the interns' fault. Interns have so much power, why don't you just sell the company to the interns?"

[Even the official announcement made a mistake in sending out the name. Whoever wants to believe it can believe it, but I don’t.]

[Interns are so miserable, they are always used as scapegoats.]

The official Weibo account was not angry at all, and even commented with a hint: [The intern is a fan of Ms. Wen Qianqian, so...]

After seeing this news, Wen Qianqian's fans finally couldn't sit still anymore and came forward to ask for an explanation:

[Which intern? What's their Weibo account? We, the biggest fans, only found out about Wen Zai's endorsement after you officially announced it today. What other fans could be so resourceful?]

[You're saying you're a fan of Wen Zai? Where's the evidence?]

Even passersby couldn't stand it anymore and commented:

[Are you kidding me? An official account not only mistakenly identified its spokesperson, but also implied others. Is this a serious illness?]

[So low, so low...]

Amidst the online debate, Yue Yingxue also stepped forward to claim her role as spokesperson: "@Weikelier Milk Powder, starting today I will be joining the Weijiaer family. I'm thrilled to be working with such a high-quality and discerning company to bring nutrition and health to our children. I'm grateful and thankful."

As soon as Yue Yingxue posted on Weibo, her fans immediately jumped out to control the comments:

[Yingxue, we love you! Xiaoxue, fly bravely, and the snowflakes will always be with you!]

Support Yingxue! Her clean and pure temperament is a perfect match for milk powder. This is exactly the spokesperson the brand wants.

[That's right, only our pure Yingxue deserves such a good endorsement. Who the hell is that person? He's full of bad things and is not suitable to endorse milk powder at all.]

The more I think about it, the more I feel that this endorsement is a perfect match for Yingxue. It's both very loving.

I've felt something was amiss for a long time. How could a well-known multinational brand like Weijiaer choose someone as low-brow as Wen Qianqian as their spokesperson? It would simply lower the brand's positioning. So I believe they must have made a mistake. Only Yingxue is worthy of the role.

Yue Yingxue's fans were very combative, and with the addition of Xinyi's navy, they quickly took control of the situation. Now the comments section was full of praise for Yue Yingxue's purity and nobility, which matched well with Wei Jiaer's positioning, while also stepping on Wen Qianqian, without mentioning the Yin-Yang factory area at all.

In order to get away with it, Xinyi and Wei Jiaer spent a lot of money to buy marketing accounts and water armies, and public opinion seems to be slowly turning around.

Wen Qianqian was lying on her bed in the hotel, wearing a loose robe, eating potato chips while watching their performance. When she saw the time was right, she put down the chips and edited a message:

It appears shiny and bright on the surface, but it's actually filthy and dirty. You're selling your seemingly good products abroad, but you're selling them to your compatriots. You're even adding nitrites that exceed the legal limit by a hundred times. And these are for infants and young children! Wei Jiaer, let me ask you: would you dare drink the milk powder you produce yourself? By the way, I'd better not delete this post. I've already reported this to the police.

This time, it was not just a comparison picture of the warehouses, Wen Qianqian posted the entire video online.

Like last time, she lightly moved her finger to press the "Send" button, and then calmly waited for the result.

However, the reaction this time was completely different from the last time. Within half a minute after the Weibo post was published, the number of messages on Weibo exploded.

Netizens rushed to the comment section like crazy:

[Holy shit, what the hell is this? Is this a milk production area? I'm going to throw up!]

[I'm really sick of it. It's just making me vomit. Seeing piles of cow dung on the ranch with no one cleaning it up, and workers using their hands to milk the cows right after blowing their noses, I'm about to throw up what I ate the night before.]

[This looks like a garbage dump. Is the milk produced here drinkable? I paid 600 yuan for this? This is disgusting. I can't handle it!]

This rubbish company has really nailed the double standard. They sell the good stuff coming out of their production lines overseas, but keep the disgusting stuff and rip off Chinese people at exorbitant prices. Give me your money back! Go bankrupt! Damn it!

[God damn it, they added tons of additives that exceed the standard. Too much of these things will damage your kidneys and liver, okay? I'm going crazy. I buy this kind of milk powder for my own child. I want to cry. What should I do...]

A first-tier domestic infant and toddler brand actually had such a problem. Angry netizens were furious. Starting from Wen Qianqian's Weibo, they rushed to the official Weibo accounts of Wei Jiaer and Xinyi, and directly scolded the official Weibo accounts so much that they closed the comment section. Even Yue Yingxue, who had just been officially announced, was not spared.

On the other side of the city, Sun Liang, Zhang Li and Wei Jiaer's person in charge He Yuan were as anxious as ants on a hot pan. They didn't care that it was late at night and hurried back to the company for an emergency meeting.

He Yuan's face turned pale. He threw the cup off the table and demanded, "Didn't you agree to take responsibility? Didn't you say you would handle the public relations? Why was she able to post this Weibo? How much evidence does she have?"

Sun Liang's eyes were bloodshot. He slapped Zhang Li in the face with his backhand and roared, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Zhang Li's face swelled up rapidly, but he didn't dare cover it with his hands. He replied tremblingly, "I contacted Weibo to delete the post, but Weibo said the police might get involved and it involves a criminal case... They can't delete the post..."

When He Yuan heard the word "criminal case", his blood pressure rushed to his head. Before he could react, he rolled his eyes and fainted.

Ever since Wen Qianqian posted the video of the factory on Weibo, it has been trending on the internet, with all netizens cursing this unscrupulous company.

An hour later, Ping An Kyoto's Weibo account suddenly posted @闻浅浅: Thank you Ms. Wen for the clues and information she provided. Food safety is no small matter. The police will find out the truth as soon as possible and give timely feedback to netizens.
