However, she put her mind at ease too soon.
On his way to the company, Panlong was on his way when netizens noticed that the streamer in the live broadcast room had not responded and no one had seen him come out. As a result, many netizens in the vicinity were even planning to form a group to rescue him.
Many netizens directly demanded that COSCO Group hand over the person.
Just when this matter reached its peak, Qin Yunie had that engineering geek leak the news that COSCO Group had cut corners in its construction.
This evidence was something Qin Yunie asked him to investigate after discovering that engineering genius, and unexpectedly, he actually found the evidence.
The news that COSCO Group cut corners in construction has further enraged netizens, who were already in an uproar.
Especially those netizens who have already moved into the communities developed by COSCO Group, went directly to their official website to question whether this was true.
[@COSCO Group, please give us an explanation! Did you really cut corners? How was the inspection conducted?]
[@COSCO Group, are you trying to kill people?! Are you so desperate for money that you're even withholding this kind of ill-gotten gain?!]
Is this kind of house even habitable? Can someone knowledgeable about this explain it to me?
I don't know if there's a problem, but I'm really anxious about where I am right now! I'm planning to stay at my mom's for a while.
[I was wondering why the soundproofing in this house felt so bad! Were they just trying to fool us? @COSCO Group]
[@COSCO Group, you heartless bastards! We ordinary people work hard for generations to earn enough for a house, and we only buy because of your reputation, and you do this kind of despicable thing! Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble, like us coming to your house tonight to cause you trouble?]
No wonder there are no reports of ghosts in other neighborhoods, only in Citron Neighborhood! Maybe it's revenge from the people you killed!
[Refund! Refund!]
[@COSCO Group, please refund!]
COSCO's public relations department has been closely monitoring the online situation. As soon as the matter started to escalate and climbed to the top of the trending topics, it was immediately discovered, and emergency measures were taken to suppress the heat.
However, those who bought their houses were already furious, and seeing them try to suppress the buzz and remove the trending topics, they became even angrier.
By starting to post about everyone around us, we're determined to get more people to see this.
Just then, a popular livestreamer who had also bought a house from them spoke up on VB.
Soft and Fluffy V: Please give us a clear answer: did you really cut corners during the construction process? @COSCO Real Estate, are the lives of ordinary people not important? @Relevant departments, please thoroughly investigate all properties developed by COSCO.
[Support Mianmian! Thumbs up! This company has been keeping quiet, secretly removing trending topics and suppressing the buzz!]
Buying a house is a major life event for the whole family, often representing the entire life savings of ordinary people. What if they end up with a poorly constructed house like this, and something goes wrong?
[Mianmian actually bought their house too?]
Because of her soft and gentle voice, more people learned about this matter, and her fans spontaneously started tagging COSCO, demanding an explanation from them.
Some netizens even went to leave messages on some influential accounts, hoping that they could use their popularity to let more people know about this.
However, most influential figures are unwilling to offend such large companies and choose to remain silent.
A small number of them also posted VB at the request of their fans.
Only one male streamer with tens of millions of followers went live to confront the issue head-on, even changing the name of his live stream to "COSCO Group Cutting Corners." Leveraging his popularity, he gained hundreds of thousands of followers as soon as he started streaming. With the influx of angry netizens, the number of viewers in the live stream exceeded five million.
This incident was pushed to the top of the trending searches.
After learning about this, COSCO Group pressured them to shut down the live stream, but found that for some reason, the live stream was like a curse and could not be turned off at all.
As a result, in just over ten minutes, the trending topic had already climbed into the top ten and was still climbing.
Pan Tingsheng stared at the live stream, slammed his fist on the table, and looked down at the head of the public relations department with an imposing air, saying, "This trending topic still hasn't been taken down? You can't even shut down a single live stream, what are you doing in the public relations department?! Didn't you promise me you would definitely resolve this? How long has it been? Look at this! You can't even shut down a single live stream, I think you should just give up your position as head of public relations! Replace you with someone more capable!"
The head of public relations was also very aggrieved. This live stream was a bit eerie and couldn't be shut down no matter what he did. He could only watch helplessly as the live stream's popularity grew higher and higher, eventually reaching the top of the trending searches, but he couldn't bring himself to say anything.
After Pan Tingsheng finished speaking, he seemed to remember something and asked, "By the way, have you found the IP address that exposed this?"
When this was mentioned, the head of the technology department looked somewhat complicated and said with difficulty, "We found it."
Pan Tingsheng asked, "Who is it?"
The head of the technology department looked at him, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
Seeing this, Pan Tingsheng frowned unhappily, "Speak! Now that you've found out, what's there to be afraid to say?"
The head of the technical department said, forcing a smile, "We found out from the IP address that the first IP address to expose this matter came from your computer."
The moment the head of the technology department uttered those words, an eerie silence fell over the office.
Pan Tingsheng frowned upon hearing this. Since arriving at the company that morning, he hadn't left his office except for going to the restroom once.
Pan Tingsheng calmly asked, "Have you checked the surveillance footage?"
The head of the technical department quickly replied, "We've checked. Apart from the secretary and the head of the public relations department who came to report to you this morning, no one else entered or left your office. But they were always in pairs or more; no one ever entered your office alone."
These words immediately pushed the situation into an even more bizarre state.
A murmur of discussion immediately filled the office.
"Could it be that this whole thing really was... something you did...?"
"I feel it's possible, otherwise why would so many things point to that thing being the culprit?"
"Could it really be like what netizens are saying, that a ghost has come back for revenge?"
"Definitely! First it's the haunted neighborhood under construction, then the streamer incident, and now they can't even shut down this big influencer's livestream. When have you ever seen your PR manager fail before? Why can't they shut it down? It's because of that thing they won't allow!"
Panlong, who was not far from them, heard their hushed conversation and immediately swept his gaze sharply across them. "What nonsense are you spouting! There are no ghosts in this world! Anyone who spreads rumors will be dealt with according to the rules!"
