Chapter 016 Live Broadcast
The eyes of the people around who were watching the show suddenly lit up, and everyone cheered for Zeng Li, shouting at her to reveal the news.
"What on earth is this stuff? Bring it out now!"
"Let me guess. He must be keeping a mistress. A rich boss like him must have a lot of beautiful women, right?"
"What's this? We can't control moral issues. If we want to make a big fuss, we'll make him lose everything!"
Zeng Li ignored the sounds around her. She opened the chat room with her best friend and was looking for something in the chat history.
Gao Jin felt a little nervous for Zeng Li. She held Zeng Li's hand and gently advised: "Child, you must think carefully. You are just an ordinary worker, and he is the president of a large company. If you offend him, you will be in big trouble, right?"
Zeng Li pushed Gao Jin's hand away and said firmly, "What's wrong with the boss? Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. I am a worker, the worst that can happen is that I can live in another city. Anyway, I must do this thing today. Damn this old man, I helped him but he still hurt me, so don't blame me for being ruthless. I don't want the friendship of so many years anymore. I will make him lose his reputation today!"
As she spoke, Zeng Li placed her phone screen in front of Bai Mian's phone camera and live-broadcasted the chat history between herself and her bestie.
There were originally more than 50,000 online viewers in the live broadcast room. After Zeng Li released the chat records, the number of online viewers suddenly increased to more than 70,000.
"There's no need to use an alias. I'll just say it straight," Zeng Li said quickly. "The company her father founded is called Fengtong. Fengtong's main product is Pure Juice. Yes, it's the Pure Juice that every household drinks during the Chinese New Year. It's the juice that claims in the advertisement that it's made of 100% fresh fruit. Now I'll show you the production process of Pure Juice—"
Zeng Li clicked on a video sent to her by her best friend. In the video, large trucks were transporting gray and black fruits to the factory. The fruits were obviously rotten and moldy. After entering the factory, the fruits were dumped into a large pool. Flying insects were dancing outside the pool. When the camera was zoomed in, many wriggling white insects could be seen on the fruits.
The factory workers are obviously accustomed to this scene. They numbly pour the rotten fruits in the pool into the large juicer, squeezing them into juice along with flies and small insects. At the other end of the machine, the rich juice flows into the reserve tank. After being exquisitely packaged, these rotten juices will soon appear on dining tables across the country.
After playing the video, Zeng Li opened the voice message sent by her bestie——
"Lily, I went to visit our factory today. Look, these bugs are so disgusting. No wonder my dad never allowed me to drink our juice since I was a child. You should never drink it again in the future!"
After Zeng Li broke the news, the number of comments in the live broadcast room skyrocketed.
[Ugh, ugh, ugh, what freshly squeezed fruit juice? It's obviously freshly squeezed insect juice! 】
[I can’t bear to watch this anymore, it’s a bit too harsh, I’m leaving the live broadcast room first]
[Why doesn’t the host say “CAUTION!” Ahhh my eyes! 】
[Family members, who understands? I was drinking Pure Apple Juice while watching the live broadcast. I really ate the melon and ended up eating it myself.]
[Avoid it, I must tell my whole family not to buy pure juice in the future]
[Now my best friend is going to become my enemy~]
After playing the video and voice, Zeng Li sat in front of her mobile phone, waiting to see the effect of the revelation. As expected, negative news about Pure Brand Juice quickly fermented on the Internet. A large number of real-time discussions were added on Weibo. At the end of the hot search, there was an entry about Pure Brand Juice, and many supermarkets removed Pure Brand Juice from the shelves.
The hot search terms kept climbing up, and Zeng Li's phone rang. She looked down and saw that it was her best friend and her best friend's father calling her in turn. She looked out the window, hesitated for a second, and then made up her mind to hang up the phone.
"Why don't you answer it? Answer it quickly and listen to what they have to say?" someone nearby asked curiously.
Zeng Li let out a long sigh: "What else could it be? Either it's a plea or a threat. No matter which one it is, I don't want to hear it."
After that, she stood up and formally said goodbye to Bai Mian: "Master, thank you for saving me. I will come back to see you when I am free. I am in a hurry today. I have to go back to the capital to rent a house. After something like this happened, I must move. I will leave today!"
Bai Mian smiled and said, "No need to thank me, just keep moving forward. When you walk out of this door, you will be greeted by a new life."
Zeng Li bowed several times before turning to leave. Everyone watched her walk out of the store. As soon as she walked out the door, she received a call from an unknown number of people.
"Hello, we are the law enforcement department of the Beijing Food Safety Bureau. We have seen the video you posted online. Now we want to investigate the processing of Pure Juice. Could you please cooperate with our investigation?"
"no problem."
Zeng Li agreed immediately and walked towards the high-speed rail station, preparing to take the high-speed rail back to Beijing.
After Zeng Li left, everyone discussed heatedly for a while until Bai Mian spoke, and then the store became quiet.
"Please ask the next guest to sit in front of me."
Bai Mian's cold voice was like a breeze blowing through the store. Everyone looked at each other, looking for the next customer.
Bai Mian repeated the question, but still no one in the crowd responded. Seeing this, Lame Brother walked to the center of the crowd and shouted at the top of his voice, "Number 17! Where is Number 17?!"
A girl who had been dozing on a bench suddenly woke up and shouted, "Here, here! It's finally my turn!"
The girl had a round face and was wearing a big bear T-shirt. She looked like a hibernating bear. Everyone looked at her and laughed. The girl wiped the saliva from her mouth embarrassedly and sat in front of Bai Mian.
"What do you want to ask?"
Bai Mian stretched out his hand, ready to take the girl's pulse.
The girl woke up as if from a dream, slapped her head, jumped up and said, "Oh, I forgot to say, I'm not here to tell my own fortune, I'm here to help my cousin line up. Master, please wait a moment, I'll let my cousin and her family come over right away!"
When the people around her heard her say this, they immediately became dissatisfied.
"What? I can ask someone to queue for me?"
"That's not fair, Master, you should disqualify her!"
"If my relatives can help me line up, I will call all the dozen people in my family tomorrow to increase my chances of winning!"
Bai Mian nodded slightly, approving of the girl's approach:
"It doesn't matter. Everything has its own destiny. Since she won the prize, it means that the fortune I'm going to tell today has something to do with her."
Although Bai Mian agreed, the crowd around him was still not willing to give in. They shouted at Bai Mian to cancel the girl's fortune-telling qualification. Seeing them like this, the girl also shouted angrily:
"My cousin is in a special situation and it's not convenient for her to go out, so she asked me to line up. You'll know when my cousin comes. When you see my cousin, I wonder who among you can still shout out!"
After hearing what the girl said, everyone became curious about her cousin, and no one objected anymore. Everyone agreed that she should give the fortune-telling opportunity to her cousin. Seeing this, the girl hurriedly called her cousin's family.
After a while, several figures appeared at the door of the store. They were a couple of parents who came in with their daughter. Surprisingly, the daughter was actually being slowly pushed in in a wheelchair.
"You have trouble walking? Do you want me to help push it?"
As Lame Brother spoke, he walked forward with good intentions. But halfway through his walk, he froze and stepped back, at a loss, because he discovered that the girl obviously had more than just a disability in her legs.
The person in the wheelchair was so thin that her bones were visible. Her age was completely invisible. Her face was blue-gray and her hair had all fallen out. If she wasn't still breathing, others would have thought she was a corpse.
