Chapter 266: Negative Review Storm (4)
That afternoon, everyone carefully considered and reflected deeply on Tian Xin's words. In the end, everyone expressed their determination to continue, and no one quit.
Tian Xin immediately made three rules with everyone and introduced a simple plan for the later stage.
Master Mo's first batch of goods would take about a week to arrive. Over the past few days, she arranged for everyone to sort out the previous accounts and goods and prepare to open a new account.
As for herself, she had to first find the source of these negative reviews to see if it was a deliberate attempt by a colleague to cause trouble, or if someone had deliberately hired a troll army to target them.
If it is the former, then it is easy to solve. After changing into Hanfu, this problem will no longer exist.
But if it's the latter, then it's a bit troublesome!
Judging from the timeline, these negative reviews were concentrated after the fashion show, and there was no connection between the accounts, and the IP addresses were all different. But when this happened to more than 20 stores at the same time, it couldn't just be a problem with the stores or the products; it must be a targeted attack on a specific individual.
She was covered by the media at the fashion show and discussed on forums. Both her clothes and herself were exposed to the public.
If it was directed at her, there was no need to worry, but I was afraid that it was directed at one of them.
After arranging everything, she dismissed everyone and planned to go to the county with Lin Zhou to find someone who was technically knowledgeable to investigate the source of these negative reviews.
As a result, as soon as she went out, the first scene that caught her eye instantly made her laugh.
Lin Zhou and Zhang Yifan squatted by a small sand pit at the door, digging in the sand with their hands. They worked in unison, with Zhang Yifan digging the pit and Lin Zhou filling it with sand. Their focus was astonishing, and their coordination was undeniable.
Next to the small garden stood a stone table, on which lay an open box of watercolor pencils and a piece of paper, with several other colored pencils scattered about. Zhang Ying sat on a stone bench, looking at the painting.
She didn't say anything, but walked over and looked at the painting in Zhang Ying's hand.
Zhang Yifan's painting depicts two children sitting on the grass playing with toys. Under a blue sky, a meadow stretches to the foot of a mountain. The two children sit on the grass, playing with toy cars, their faces beaming with joy. One of the children is a portrait of himself, while the other resembles Lin Zhou, albeit in a childlike form.
Zhang Ying looked at the painting for a long time, sighed deeply, turned to look at Zhang Yifan, with unspeakable heartache in her eyes.
"Mom, look, we built a castle!"
As the two were watching, Zhang Yifan suddenly turned around and shouted: "Big brother helped me with this!"
"You're so rude. Call me uncle!" Zhang Ying shouted at Zhang Yifan.
"Oh...Uncle!" Zhang Yifan corrected himself, raised his head and blinked his big eyes and asked Lin Zhou: "Uncle, will you come again in the future?"
"Of course... yes!" Lin Zhou turned to look at Tian Xin and asked him with a smile: "What's wrong?"
"Can I still play with you then?"
"Of course, what toys do you like? I'll bring them to you next time!"
"Really?" Zhang Yifan's eyes lit up instantly. He grabbed Lin Zhou's arm and shook it a few times, then shouted happily at him: "Are you really going to come and play with me?"
"Um!"
After receiving a positive answer, Zhang Yifan immediately stood up and jumped for joy: "I don't want toys, let's just play with sand! Play with sand, play with sand!"
He shouted and jumped, sending sand flying everywhere. This sand was leftover from building the house, mixed with soil. With this jump, the area in front of Lin Zhou was immediately filled with fog.
He has always been a clean person and subconsciously waved his hands twice.
This scene made Zhang Ying feel a little embarrassed. She immediately stopped Zhang Yifan: "Stop jumping around, come here!"
Zhang Yifan was immersed in excitement and ignored his mother and continued jumping.
Lin Zhou stood up, turned around, smiled at Zhang Ying, and said, "It's okay!" Then he brushed the sand off his hands, picked up Zhang Yifan, lifted him over his head, and threw him into the air twice. Both of them laughed heartily, having a great time.
This scene deeply touched Tian Xin, and she didn't know how to describe the feeling. Lin Zhou before her was unlike anything she had ever seen before. In that moment, he seemed to have escaped reality, transformed into a little boy, unleashing the joy that belonged only to children. This joy was pure and unadulterated, requiring no external factors, simply the purest expression of his heart.
She smiled, without disturbing the happiness of the two people, one big and one small, and continued to stop and stare at them.
Zhang Ying also looked at the two of them, smiled and sighed: "I didn't expect that Lin Zhou is quite good at playing with children!"
"Yeah, I didn't expect that!" she said, "He's usually quite reserved, not this extroverted!"
The two of them were sitting not far from Lin Zhou, and these two sentences naturally reached his ears.
He stopped laughing, held up Zhang Yifan and asked, "How is it? Are you scared?"
"Don't be afraid!"
"Don't be afraid..." His face suddenly changed: "Then I will... continue throwing!" Then he started a new round of laughter.
After both of them laughed enough, he was tired, so he put Zhang Yifan down and walked towards Tian Xin.
"I'm really sorry, the child is naughty and I'm sorry to trouble you!" Zhang Ying stood up and said.
Lin Zhou waved his hand, his face returning to his usual serious expression: "It's okay!"
"Are you done with your work?" He turned and asked Tian Xin.
"Well! There's nothing to do here. I want to go to the county town later. Can you give me a ride?"
"Okay! Then... let's go!"
After saying that, he subconsciously reached out to hold Tian Xin's hand, but then he suddenly remembered that he had just played with sand and his hands were still dirty, so he let go.
Tian Xin didn't care about this. She went over to hold his hand and said hello to Zhang Ying: "Then... let's go, Sister Zhang Ying!"
"Well, okay!" Zhang Ying nodded.
Just as the two turned and took a few steps, Zhang Yifan suddenly rushed over from behind and grabbed Lin Zhou's hand: "Uncle, you must come! I don't want toys, let's play in the sand together! Okay?"
"Yeah, okay!"
Lin Zhou lowered his head and replied, "I'll play with you in the sand next time I come!"
"Then let's make a promise. You can't lie to children! If you lie to children, they won't grow taller!"
Zhang Yifan stretched out his little finger, stood on tiptoe and raised his hand high: "Come on, pinky promise!"
“…”
Lin Zhou watched him raise his pinky finger vigorously, and couldn't help but reach out and scratch his nose. Then, he squatted down and stretched out his pinky finger to hook it with Zhang Yifan's.
"We make a promise and we won't change for a hundred years. Whoever changes will be a dog! Come on, stamp it!" said Zhang Yifan.
After making a check mark and giving a thumbs-up stamp, this temporary "agreement" was considered complete.
"Okay, I'm leaving!" Lin Zhou scratched Zhang Yifan's nose again, stood up and waved to him: "Goodbye!"
"goodbye……"
The two got into the car, and Zhang Yifan was still standing there, looking at Lin Zhou reluctantly.
"He seems to like you very much!" Tian Xin said, looking at the small figure outside the window.
"Um!"
"What are you going to do in the county town?"
"Find someone to find out who is behind this online store..."
