Chapter 88: Opportunity for word-of-mouth fermentation
No matter how urgent the voices in the comment section were, Qian Li never responded to netizens in the comment section because she never clicked on the 99+ little red dot.
Not only that, apart from insisting on checking in and uploading photos every day, she has not shared any freckle removal products and has not said a single unnecessary word.
Her 'cold' appearance, like a humanoid machine, actually aroused the curiosity of many people.
People have a rebellious mentality. The more you try to sell Amway and advertise, the less people will pay attention to you. But for people like Qian Li who are just recording, many people in the comment section start asking her to share her method of removing freckles.
But not everyone is asking for sharing. Some people think that Qian Li's photo-editing skills are amazing. These photos were photoshopped from the beginning. On the first day, the contrast and darkness were increased in some parts, so the dark spots on the women in the photos look extremely scary.
"It's just hype to attract attention. How can you not see that?"
"Chinese women who have to be connected for their entire lives, how pathetic."
“When I get old, I’ll sell health supplements to people like you.”
…
Qian Li had no idea that the tone of the comments section under her account had long since shifted. No one cared about how horrific her facial spots were anymore. Instead, everyone was more concerned with what she was using to lighten them, or whether they were real or fake.
But Qian Li just didn't respond, which made them very anxious.
Qian Li herself is the one who is most aware of her own changes.
Because I understand, I am surprised.
She'd done countless studies and understood, better than anyone, how difficult it was to remove the dark spots on her face. Although she'd dreamed of regaining her fair skin, when the day finally arrived, Qian Li found she wasn't as ecstatic as she'd imagined. She simply felt it was all too unbelievable and unreal.
On the tenth day, Qian Li woke up refreshed in the morning. When she went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror, she was shocked to find that there was no trace of chloasma on her face.
It was clear that before going to bed last night, when she applied Panax notoginseng powder on her face, some faint marks could still be seen.
Is she dreaming?
Qian Li stared at the mirror for a long time until her daughter pushed open the bathroom door and she came to her senses.
"Leilei, look at your mother's face."
The sleepy little girl rubbed her eyes and said, "The little spots on Mommy's face are gone!"
It's true! Qian Li's breath hitched. What the Chinese doctor said was true! She had truly gotten rid of the blemishes on her face. Not only that, she'd been sleeping through the night for the past few days, the amount of hair falling on the floor at home had decreased, and she no longer fretted over trivial matters. Even her daughter said she was more gentle now than before.
Qian Li almost cried for joy.
At this time, the number of Qian Li's Little Purple Sweet Potato fans has increased from the original 12 to 7,500.
Qian Li clicked on the comment section and found that the comment section was completely different from what she had imagined. Not many people cared about her face. Everyone was more concerned about whether her success in removing freckles was real or false hype.
Qian Li walked into the sunshine, pointed her jewelry at the camera and smiled gently.
[Recording my Traditional Chinese Medicine Freckle Removal Day 10
I didn't expect my casual note to attract so much attention. Harsh words can hurt like a cold winter, so I haven't been checking the comments section lately. Yes, those spots are so real that even I can't face them.
I've struggled with these spots for years and know firsthand how difficult and fraught they are. Before I met a Chinese doctor, I'd already spent nearly $100,000 on them, only to have them get worse.
My Chinese medicine practitioner told me that chloasma is caused by liver qi disharmony. I didn't believe it at first, but after a period of internal and external treatment, the results are obvious to everyone.
After Qian Li posted this video, she disappeared from the Internet again. It was not because she was unwilling to share, but because Dr. Shen prescribed too many medicines for her, and she was a little afraid to share them. If someone followed her and took them and ended up damaging their health, she would be committing a serious sin.
"Doctor Shen, I'm here." Qian Liyan walked into Mingxin Hall with a smile. The spots on her face are gone now, and her health is better than before. She came for a follow-up visit today.
Shen Jiang looked at Qian Li's flawless face calmly, secretly surprised.
She knew she could cure Qian Li's melasma, but it would take far longer than she had imagined. Traditional Chinese Medicine emphasizes treating the symptoms with targeted therapies, resulting in immediate results. However, Qian Li's condition was a chronic one, requiring at least a month or two to be effective. Furthermore, given the severity of the condition, recovery might take even longer.
Shen Jiang guessed that the medicinal herbs from another world might have played a key role. The prescription she prescribed for Qian Li used a lot of medicinal herbs brought back from another time, especially the Panax notoginseng collected from Godwin Longshan. Panax notoginseng enters the liver meridian, and Qian Li took it internally and applied it externally, so it could produce such an amazing effect in such a short time.
When Qian Li asked if she could share the recipe, Shen Jiang nodded and said, "Of course, but everyone's constitution is different. I suggest that everyone consult their local doctor and choose herbs according to their constitution. Don't take medicine blindly."
She prescribed Jiawei Xiaoyao Pills for Qian Li, which are suitable for treating Qi and blood deficiency caused by liver depression and spleen deficiency. However, there are two other types of Xiaoyao Pills, Xiaoyao Pill and Danzhi Xiaoyao Pill, each with a different focus. As the saying goes, different prescriptions are different for different people. Her prescription can provide some ideas for other traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, but ultimately, whether to take the pills or not depends on the doctor's judgment.
After hearing her words, Qian Li clapped her hands and said, "Then I'll let them come to you. If they are from other places, there's nothing we can do. Let them figure it out on their own."
Shen Jiang smiled and nodded: "Of course, the business of my small shop still depends on your introduction."
Qian Li glanced at the empty clinic, which only had a banner but no patients, and suddenly felt a heavy sense of responsibility. Dr. Shen was a skilled doctor, and instead of sending him a banner, she should really help him attract more patients.
Qian Li acted quickly and immediately shared what Shen Jiang said to her on Xiao Zishu, and carefully posted the address of Mingxintang.
Shen Jiang had never imagined that the patient he had cured would bring unexpected traffic to his small clinic.
On the afternoon after Qian Li left, two ladies came together, and in the following days, there was a peak in the number of customers, which directly filled her small clinic. She and He Mei could not shake the pills at all, and only with the help of her cousin uncle and aunt could they barely cope with it.
And Qian Li's little purple potato fell again a few days later.
The reason was that someone tried the method she shared and found that it didn't work at all.
"Scam blogger! Don't you feel bad for taking advantage of me?"
"Victim plus one, I took the medicine according to the blogger's instructions, but it didn't work at all!"
"I told you a long time ago, but you didn't believe me. I understand how the police feel when they can't persuade the victim of a scam. It's so helpless."
Qian Li wanted to tell everyone not to be impatient and to wait a few days to see the results, but netizens didn't listen at all. A massive criticism meeting was launched on Xiaohongshu. Not only did many people complain under Qian Li's account, but some people even posted a discussion thread specifically, which was full of complaints about Qian Li.
Qian Li was extremely helpless. At this moment, she really wanted to yell from the bottom of her heart, saying that what she said was true.
At this time, a different voice finally appeared.
"Is it possible that the medicine you took is not right? I went to the clinic the blogger mentioned and was prescribed a similar medicine as the blogger's. The effect on me was quite obvious."
"Those of you who have returned from Mingxintang, raise your hands! I can prove what the blogger said is true. The spots on my face have faded. If you don't believe me, you can check out the posts on my homepage."
At this time, an internet celebrity finally noticed the excitement here.
Amei is a beauty blogger who rose to fame thanks to a video of her applying makeup to her mother, which attracted a staggering amount of traffic. Amei's mother also has a lot of melasma on her face, which seriously detracts from her beauty when she's not wearing makeup. Amei always applies a lot of foundation, and the more she does so, the more striking the difference between her mother's before and after makeup looks. Audiences are drawn to these makeup transformation videos.
In fact, the mother is a little insecure without makeup, but when Amei puts makeup on her mother, her every move exudes a confident and mature charm that is particularly attractive. Many fans are attracted to her because of this, and the comment section is always full of praise for her mother. Even Amei herself feels that her mother with makeup on is completely different from her usual self.
Amei clicked on Qianli's homepage and read Qianli's ten-day record. The contrast between Qianli's appearance and her makeup transformation was as striking as the ones Amei usually posted. This made Amei a little tempted. If only her mother could also remove the dark spots on her face, then she could regain her confidence without makeup...
After reading most of the reviews, Amei quickly came to the conclusion that the only variable was the Chinese medicine clinic. Almost all netizens who had seen treatment at Mingxintang reported significant results, while those who hadn't had mediocre results.
Amei secretly guessed that the doctor in this clinic must be a white-haired old man or woman. Otherwise, how could he be so powerful?
Amei flipped through the comments and quickly found the address Qian Li posted. She was shocked to discover that the clinic was actually in Nanze City where she lived.
There was no need to hesitate any longer. Amei immediately decided to take her mother to this Chinese medicine clinic for a try.
Before going out, Amei brought a camera with her.
She is an Internet celebrity with a very keen sense of the Internet. Qian Li's post attracted a lot of attention and heated discussion. Amei could vaguely feel that if she could record this medical consultation and make a more detailed video to share, perhaps her Purple Sweet Potato account would usher in a new wave of huge traffic.
Shen Jiang watched another melasma patient enter the clinic, inwardly exclaiming at the power of the internet. It had completely made her understand the saying that water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. Mingxin Hall was a small boat under the influence of internet traffic, and she was its helmsman.
These days, almost all the patients who come to see her are suffering from melasma. Unknowingly, Mingxintang has begun to develop into a beauty salon.
Little did they know that the gears of Mingxintang's fate would be moved again because of these two unremarkable guests.
Amei never expected that the old Chinese doctor she thought of did not exist at all, and the person sitting in the store for consultation was a young woman who was about her age.
Amei was a little dumbfounded. After confirming again and again, she let her mother sit down to see the doctor.
