The next day, Oriental Entertainment Company issued a notice on the rectification of its anchors, stating that about a dozen anchors would need to be suspended for rectification. Chen Yonggui also apologized to the entire network for the incidents involving Princess Qiao, Ma Baoguo, and Lu Qianxue, and said that similar incidents would never happen again.
After this incident, Lin Xiaozhe decided to let him off the hook for now and check later to see if he had seriously rectified the situation, rather than just going through the motions.
That day, Lin Xiaozhe was live-streaming Plants vs. Zombies when he suddenly saw activity in his former university classmates' group chat. A person named Xu Qiang posted a photo in the group.
Xu Qiang was one of the best graduates in his cohort with Lin Xiaozhe. It is said that his family is from Shenhai. Two years ago, his family's house was demolished and sold for more than five million yuan. It seems that the money went to Runmeidi.
Lin Xiaozhe saw all of this in the group chat. He didn't specifically inquire about the details, but he knew that the housing prices in Shenhai had increased several times in the past two years, and Xu Qiang's house should now be worth at least ten million.
With tens of millions in assets in China, one can be a superior person anywhere. Why bother becoming a dog for the evil United States?
He didn't quite understand, nor did he think about it deeply, and clicked on the photo to zoom in to full screen.
The photo shows a parking lot full of cars, with a picture of a parking space designated for people with disabilities in the center.
Xu Qiang: "(Photo) In the United States, no matter how crowded the parking lot is, no one will occupy the parking space for disabled people. On my 360th day in the United States, I can feel the high quality that only people in developed countries have from some daily details."
Xu Qiang: "This is something that some countries do not possess."
No one replied to him in the group chat for a moment, and the situation was quite awkward.
Xu Qiang quickly posted another photo, showing the friendly smile of the server when he bought a hamburger at KFC.
Xu Qiang: "Look at this vibrant smiling face. In the United States, even the lowest-paid workers are not discriminated against. That's why they are so energetic every day."
Wen Xiaomei: "@Xu Qiang, are you in the US? You seem to be doing pretty well there. How's it going? I heard you sold your house and car to go to the US."
Xu Qiang: "@Wen Xiaomei, the beacon of world civilization, the light of human civilization, freedom and democracy, the incredibly sweet air, what do you think of this place? I think I don't need to say more."
Wen Xiaomei: "I'm so envious! I want to go too, but I don't know how."
Xu Qiang: "It's simple. I'll message you privately in a bit. I'll tell you that the US is not like some other countries where you work 996 every day and risk sudden death. Here, the working hours are short, the benefits are generous, and the salary is high. You can easily earn four thousand US dollars a month just by washing dishes at a restaurant. Think about it, that's tens of thousands of Chinese Yuan. Anyway, I'm already financially independent. I bought a house and rent it to Mexicans. I collect rent every day and walk my dog. I get one dollar for fried chicken and steak. Big houses are cheap too, and I don't need to take out a 30-year mortgage. This place is simply paradise."
Wen Xiaomei: "Wow (starry-eyed) I can't wait!"
Xu Qiang: "Now that you're here, I'll take you straight to my place. Find a job slowly, no rush. We're old classmates, I'll take good care of you. In one or two years at most, you'll be living the life I have. (Smug)"
Lin Xiaozhe frowned slightly. Based on his years of experience, he guessed that Xu Qiang was lying. The reason was simple: no one would selflessly share their method of getting rich with others.
He's most likely a fraudster.
Viewers in the live stream also saw it, and Lin Xiaozhe gave a brief introduction to Xu Qiang's personal situation.
First of all, he is very outstanding. He was a prominent figure in school and joined a large company after graduation with a starting annual salary of 300,000 yuan. Moreover, he made a lot of money selling houses back then and went directly to the United States with the money. His current situation is unknown. Maybe he is really doing very well.
A sheepdog has been spotted.
[If your American daddy is so great, why are you still hanging out in China's social circles?]
Don't listen to his nonsense. I'm right here in the US, and the fines for using disabled parking spaces are huge, which is why nobody dares to use them. What does that have to do with freedom, democracy, or quality of life?
[The fact that the waiters are so enthusiastic is probably due to America's unique tipping system. It has nothing to do with anything else.]
Lin Xiaozhe didn't know Xu Qiang's true situation, but after hearing what the comments said, he thought it made sense. After thinking for a moment, he typed: "@Xu Qiang, good brother, I'd like to go through any connections you have."
Xu Qiang: "@Lin Xiaoze, Xiaoze, long time no see! You want to come too? I guess you also yearn for freedom, democracy, and sweet air."
Lin Xiaozhe thought to himself, "What the hell am I yearning for? I was born a Chinese, and I'll die a Chinese ghost. Even if I turn to ashes, I'll scatter them across the mountains and rivers of China."
In Lin Xiaozhe's view, Xu Qiang is a traitor to the country, a complete scoundrel. He eats his food and then curses his mother. He received higher education in China and made a fortune by selling houses. All of this was given to him by the Dragon Country, but he turns around and serves his American daddy.
You dare say Chinese people have no manners? You dare say that?
Lin Xiaozhe was furious, but in order to get more information from him, he could only pretend to be interested in the United States.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've been fed up with the atmosphere in China for ages. I can feel the breath of freedom and democracy calling to me from afar. I want to go right now." Lin Xiaozhe.
Wang Dalu: "@Xu Qiang, Brother Xu, I'd also like to know more about him."
Zhao Gang: "@Xu Qiang, and me too, we want to go to the US to make a fortune."
“OK, OK, I’ll message you guys privately. We’re classmates, I’ll treat you to a big house and some big steaks (smug)” Xu Qiang.
Lin Xiaozhe was speechless when he saw that so many people in the group wanted to go to the United States. Of course, it's also possible that others were just learning about it and didn't necessarily want to go.
"Brothers in the live stream, I'm going to test the waters for you guys and see if the US is any good place to go. I believe many of you in the live stream also yearn for the US, and you've heard a lot of people say that the moon is rounder in the US. This time, I'll give you an in-depth investigation."
After Lin Xiaozhe finished speaking, he sent a private message to Xu Qiang.
"Hey Qiang, you're awesome! You're doing really well in the US. You even remember a classmate from a group chat. Putting everything else aside, I absolutely trust your character." Lin Xiaozhe started to bluff.
"It's alright. In the US, I'm just upper-middle class, living in an upscale neighborhood full of white people. You wouldn't believe it, our neighborhood alone has tons of patrol cars outside every day, and police are on duty 24 hours a day for security. It's very safe. Can you enjoy this kind of treatment in China?"
Xu Qiang said.
"No, that's why I want to go too. Are there any conditions?"
Xu Qiang smiled and said, "If you said there were no conditions, I bet you wouldn't dare to come. Of course there are. You know how expensive the US is, right? I'll take care of your food, drink, and everything else. If you can't find a job for a while, you'll have to stay here with me. Even though we're classmates, I still have to show my appreciation, right?"
"That's only fair. Just name your price."
"Ah...it would cost at least 500,000."
Lin Xiaozhe: "..."
