Chapter 71 The Sucker
The old fans were very emotional and kept accusing me: "Gu Mo, do you have a conscience? We believed in you, but you took us for granted, didn't you?"
With someone taking the lead, several other fans followed suit: "No need to say anything else, the scammer should return my money as soon as possible."
The live broadcast room suddenly became noisy and I couldn't get a word in.
There was no way they could continue arguing like this, so I muted their microphones.
After everyone got quiet, I patiently asked, "What happened? If you have any questions, just tell me."
After saying that, I unbanned a few people.
The leading fan spoke first: "I bought the underwear you endorsed, but it was not what I wanted. It felt like a dish rag after I wore it once."
The person who spoke is called "拿大碗吃" and has been supporting me since I first started broadcasting.
After she finished speaking, other fans also spoke up.
It all reflects problems with underwear.
Soon, I figured out the problem.
The underwear brand I previously endorsed would become severely dehydrated after washing, and would unravel after being worn once or twice. The quality control was extremely poor.
Fans who have bought underwear also raised similar questions in the comment section.
A large group of people asked me to give an explanation.
After understanding the general situation, I looked serious and assured the fans: "I understand all your questions. Please rest assured that I will solve them."
Seeing my statement, the talents were appeased.
I cut the connection.
He took out his personal cell phone and looked up the manufacturer's number.
The call was connected and the call was answered within a few seconds, so I decisively pressed the speakerphone button.
The manufacturer's tone was somewhat flattering, and he said attentively: "Ms. Gu, is there something you want to talk about?"
Thinking of the fans' feedback, I said coldly, "What's wrong with the quality of your underwear?"
When the manufacturer saw that I suddenly brought up the issue of underwear quality control, his tone instantly turned cold.
He pretended to be stupid, "What's wrong with the underwear?"
Seeing that he was trying to pass the buck, I pointed it out directly: "Many of my fans who bought underwear reported that they broke after wearing it once. How exactly do you guys control quality?"
The manufacturer still had an indifferent attitude, and he casually replied: "Don't worry about these things, just take the endorsement photos and get the money."
I was so angry that I blurted out, "What do you mean I don't have to care? Since I accepted this endorsement, I should be responsible for my fans."
Perhaps seeing my tough attitude, the manufacturer made an excuse: "It is normal for the quality of different batches to vary, and we can't guarantee it."
I was almost laughing out of anger.
Even at this time, he was still trying to shirk responsibility.
I've never heard of anyone buying underwear to be disposable every day.
This is even less durable than cosmetic contact lenses.
I said firmly, "The difference in quality is your manufacturer's problem. You don't need to talk about this. I need you to give our fans an explanation."
Seeing that I was not going to give up, the manufacturer also got angry and his tone gradually became worse, "Explanation? What explanation? What does their greed for cheap things have to do with me?"
After hearing the manufacturer’s attitude, the fans in the live broadcast room were as angry as I was.
I didn't expect this manufacturer to be so shameless.
When something happens, the first thing they think about is not solving the problem, but putting the blame on the consumers.
No matter how much money consumers spend, this is not an excuse for poor quality control of underwear.
I took a deep breath and confronted him directly: "So you mean you don't intend to take responsibility?"
After I asked the question, the manufacturer did not rush to answer.
Suddenly, I heard an echo from my live broadcast room coming from his side.
The next second, the manufacturer's angry voice rang out: "You are actually live streaming? You are plotting against me!"
I ignored his words and remained firm, "You need to give an explanation for this matter."
The manufacturer was so angry that he shouted angrily, "Give me a bullshit explanation, and you'll see what happens."
After saying that, he hung up the phone directly.
Just when I was about to apologize to my fans, Xiao Tiantian suddenly appeared at the door of my live broadcast room.
"Gu Mo, come out for a moment, I have something to tell you."
Xiao Tiantian's arrival interrupted my next move.
I had no choice but to explain to my fans and leave the live broadcast room temporarily.
Xiao Tiantian pulled me to a corner and warned me seriously: "There are too many such things. You can't beat them."
I knew she was referring to the matter with the manufacturer, but I didn't think so.
I said firmly, "I know, but I'm the one selling the product."
"You are the one who sells the product, but you are the only one who suffers in the end if you challenge the manufacturer so blatantly."
I know Xiao Tiantian is considering it from my perspective.
I am also grateful that she can think of me at this time.
Although my power is limited, I cannot just stand by and watch when faced with such injustice.
"I know what to do, but I don't want to do that. My fans chose my products because they trusted me. Now that something has gone wrong, I must ask for an explanation. This is my responsibility to my fans."
If I give the cold shoulder this time, will my fans choose to believe me next time?
The answer is definitely no, so this time, I must handle it well.
Seeing my stubbornness, Xiao Tiantian couldn't help but sigh, "Why are you doing this?"
"To do nothing is to help the evil. The fault lies not with the consumers but with these cunning and dishonest businesses."
Seeing that I was determined to intervene in this matter, Xiao Tiantian was helpless.
She also knew that she couldn't persuade me, so she gave me some final instructions.
"Think carefully about the consequences before you do these things."
I nodded seriously and said gratefully, "Thank you for reminding me at this time, but I have made up my mind and will not change it."
Even if the road to defending my rights is difficult, I will persist.
Even if I don't get any good in the end, I want to make sure I have a clear conscience.
You can make money at any time, but once you lose your conscience, you can never get it back.
"Just come down if you decide. Be safe."
After saying that, Xiao Tiantian left.
After chatting with her, I sat back in the live broadcast room.
When I reappeared in the picture, Da Wan applied for connection again.
I was a little surprised, but I still invited her up.
As soon as he came online, Da Wan immediately asked worriedly: "Anchor, the manufacturer just now spoke in a fierce tone. Did he threaten your safety? Are you okay?"
They were all listening to the confrontation with the manufacturer just now.
Maybe they were afraid that I would be threatened by the manufacturer during the few minutes I was gone.
I didn’t expect that fans would care about me, and I was touched.
I lowered my eyes and raised the corners of my lips. "It's okay, don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."
Seeing my attitude, Da Wan apologized to me guiltily: "I'm sorry, anchor, I thought you were in cahoots with the merchant just now, and I was too emotional and said a lot of nasty things."
I smiled gently and comforted her, "It's okay, anyone would be angry if something like this happened, no need to apologize."
From the perspective of the victims, it is normal for them to be angry.
What's more, I also made the mistake of improper supervision in this matter.
After getting my answer, Da Wan praised me: "You are a good anchor. It's a pity if you are not popular."
With Da Wan taking the lead, loyal fans in the comment section apologized to me one after another.
This attitude made me feel a little flattered.
Just when the atmosphere in the live broadcast room was improving, a discordant comment suddenly appeared.
[Stop pretending to be so hypocritical and bullying your fans. Didn’t you try the clothes on before accepting the endorsement? ]
Among the many comments, this one stands out.
