After breakfast, Yan Qiao received a call from Lu Qi.
Tell her not to come back yet, saying that a large group of reporters suddenly surrounded the door and wanted to interview her.
Yan Qiao looked puzzled. "Why are you interviewing me?"
Lu Qi said, "You can see from Weibo that there seems to be a problem with your rental apartment."
Yan Qiao suddenly thought of the internet celebrity Xiaoyu she had met yesterday, and her heart sank slightly.
"Then don't go out yet. If they don't want to leave, call the police to have them removed."
After hanging up the phone, I heard Li Qiao say with a frown, "It's an internet celebrity who posted a video that's detrimental to you."
When Yan Qiao made the call, he opened Weibo and took a look.
With her knack for trending on social media, even the smallest thing can make her a trending topic, let alone something that's not a small matter.
Internet celebrity Xiaoyu went to scout out rental properties and took photos of the conditions in several of Yanqiao's rental buildings, emphasizing the "dirty, messy, and poor" aspects.
Zheng Ling also appeared on camera, saying that she came to rent a room because of Yan Qiao, but the environment was like this, how could she not be disappointed?
They accused Yan Qiao of exploiting her fans and deceiving consumers.
This kind of house doesn't treat its tenants like human beings at all.
They even went out of their way to market Yan Shu's rental properties as high-quality and inexpensive, but it was all just a gimmick to make money.
Before this, Xiaoyu only had 800,000 fans.
Within ten minutes of being posted, the video was shared over 100,000 times, and it has since gained 200,000 followers, successfully surpassing one million.
Xiaoyu herself was constantly updating the online data, and seeing her ever-increasing number of followers, she jumped up in excitement.
She continued writing copy on her computer; since she was going to ride the wave of popularity, she had to strike while the iron was hot.
Yan Qiao was speechless. This little fish spoke sharply and righteously, as if she had done something heinous.
But in this world, most ordinary people lead busy and uneventful lives.
Xiaoyu's words, however, easily stirred up the grief and indignation of the working class.
I also live in an urban village, and the environment is similar to here. We are powerless and our voices are weak; sometimes we really need someone to speak up for us.
I feel so sorry for them! They can make money without lifting a finger, why can't they provide us with a better living environment!
I'm very disappointed in Yan Qiao this time. I won't stop being a fan, but I hope she can change.
[The place I used to live in also had a card and mahjong room, and it was incredibly noisy, surrounded by noise from morning till night!]
[...]
Many people also sent private messages criticizing Yan Qiao, demanding that she respond.
Yan Qiao didn't know how to respond; these all seemed to be true.
She turned off her phone, choosing not to look or listen.
Pei Jingzhan was about to go to the company when he saw that Yan Qiao had nothing to do, so he asked, "Do you want to come to the company with me?"
Yan Qiao hesitated for a moment: "Wouldn't that be inappropriate?"
"Of course not," Li Qiao quickly replied.
When the big boss speaks, who dares to say no?
Yan Qiao realized that she had never been to Xunyue before, so she agreed.
The Xunyue Building has 60 floors in total, with the president's office on the 48th floor.
Yan Qiao didn't know how to describe this building. Its exterior was similar to an ordinary office building, with a very stylish design. The interior was decorated with excessive luxury and was particularly high-end.
No wonder graduates are all vying for a place here.
What surprised Yan Qiao even more was that the receptionist here was actually Zheng Ling, whom she had met yesterday.
Just then, Zheng Ling also saw her.
She's only been here for less than a month; she hasn't even passed her probation period.
I've only heard about the big boss from my colleagues, but I've never actually seen him.
Now that Yan Qiao has stopped, Pei Jingzhan has also stopped. Only then did she realize that the man beside Yan Qiao was actually the big boss of the group!
Zheng Ling was shocked and stared at Yan Qiao in disbelief.
She looked even more lost, especially when she thought about the complaints she had made to Xiaoyu yesterday.
Yan Qiao walked towards her. "Do you remember me?"
Zheng Ling was taken aback. "I know you. You're Yan Qiao. I'm... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say that about you. I didn't know Xiao Yu would post the video. She posted it without my permission. I just complained a little. I didn't know it would affect you."
Yan Qiao smiled and said, "That's not what I meant. We met at the rented apartment yesterday, do you remember?"
Zheng Ling's gaze shifted from blank to surprised.
"You're the one who needs to rent a place!"
Wasn't the man next to her yesterday...?
Zheng Ling suddenly looked at Pei Jingzhan.
She slapped her forehead in frustration, "How could I not recognize her!"
If she had recognized me sooner, she wouldn't have said those things.
Yan Qiao patted her head. "You don't need to blame yourself. You just told the truth about the rental apartment. It's not your fault. But I've already corrected it. Do you still want to terminate the lease?"
Zheng Ling was a little embarrassed and said shyly, "I didn't want to cancel the lease yesterday, but I was too embarrassed to say it."
After yesterday's cleanup, the neighborhood has been completely transformed.
The rent is still within an acceptable range, and she doesn't want to move.
Yan Qiao nodded and reassured him, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Just talk to the manager. Get back to work. I'm going up now."
Her words made Zheng Ling even more embarrassed.
However, upon seeing Pei Jingzhan, she couldn't resist her gossipy nature.
"Yan Qiao, are you our big boss's girlfriend?"
Yan Qiao paused for a moment, then nodded.
Yes, he is my boyfriend.
Zheng Ling instantly felt a surge of sweetness, exclaiming, "You two are such a perfect match!"
"Thanks."
After Yan Qiao went upstairs, Zheng Ling thought about it again and again and still felt sorry for Yan Qiao, so she took the initiative to privately message the internet celebrity Xiaoyu, hoping that she would delete the video and express that she did not want to appear on camera.
To everyone's surprise, Xiaoyu replied: "[Have you been threatened?]"
Zheng Ling: [No, my current rental apartment is very nice, I'm very satisfied, and I don't plan to move.]
Zheng Ling: [I take back what I said yesterday. Yan Qiao is wonderful; she's the best girl!]
Xiaoyu completely ignored her. The video already had hundreds of thousands of likes and its popularity was still rising. How could she possibly delete it?
On the contrary, Zheng Ling's words provided Xiao Yu with more material.
She took screenshots of the chat history without blurring them out and sent them out.
They called on everyone to protect tenants, stating that some tenants had already been threatened by capital.
Zheng Ling: "..." How can she let everyone know that she is telling the truth?
As the online public opinion continued to escalate, Zheng Ling's guilt grew deeper and deeper.
She had no choice but to write a short essay and compile the photos and videos from the rental group yesterday.
The entire piece emphasizes that "our rental apartment is really nice".
Yan Qiao certainly bears responsibility for oversight, but it's not that she didn't allocate management fees; it's just that Zhang Nan failed to implement such a large monthly expense.
This is what led to the dirty and chaotic environment of the community.
Yan Qiao is currently preparing to sue Zhang Nan.
All of Yan Qiao did before Xiao Yu released her report.
Given the time difference, she certainly wasn't prescient, nor did she only order rectification when public opinion turned against her; rather, it was a spontaneous action.
