"Damn it, it's been labeled as a piece of junk, who would buy it!"
"How can someone so shameless be allowed to go abroad? It's disgraceful! I'm so ashamed!"
"The news is absolutely true. I was there and saw it for myself."
Director Cao embellished the story so much that he almost portrayed Wu Changfeng and his lawnmower as a national disgrace.
The next day.
The Chaoyang Evening News published an article titled "A Shameful Account of a 'High-End Exhibition'."
The article immediately attracted the attention of other media outlets, and many local evening newspapers reprinted it that day.
Matters involving national and ethnic dignity are always quite eye-catching.
The appearance of such an article has clearly provoked many people.
Going abroad to participate in agricultural machinery exhibitions is not a big deal, but getting last place is absolutely unacceptable!
Once you go abroad, you represent the entire country. If you come in last place, doesn't that mean China is the worst-performing country?

Public opinion quickly escalated!
This has put the Morning Star in the spotlight.
The insults and curses were incessant.
Some have even suggested punishing the Morning Star.

Gu Yuanming was also dumbfounded.

"Is this fake news? I'll call and ask."
Gu Yuanming picked up the phone and called the Chaoyang Evening News to verify the information.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Yuanming said with a sullen face, "County Chief Guo, the source of this information is relatively reliable. It was provided by the director of the Yellow River Tractor Factory."
"This person was also at the agricultural machinery exhibition in the island nation, and the factory is very large, so what he said shouldn't be false, sigh..."
County Chief Guo sighed and slumped onto the sofa.
Wu Changfeng, who was in the island nation, was unaware of what was happening back home.
They were still excitedly asking Mr. Hikawa to prepare new banners, intending to hang them up.
The message reads: The last place is here!
