Chapter 132 Who is the poster?
Ji Wanqing was stunned for a moment, not expecting that even the labor union would pay attention to this matter this time.
But thinking about it again, it's quite normal. As a newcomer, her ability to reach the top four in this carnival event is quite a small cash cow.
Sunny Day Tuan Tuan [Yes, I'm here. What's up? Go ahead.]
The agent said, "Well, you're one of our platform's key streamers now, and these negative posts can negatively impact our guild's image."
SunnyTuanTuan: [I understand, but I can assure you that those are all false statements.]
Agent: [It's alright, that's not the point. The point is the traffic support issue for tomorrow. You probably know that the guild needs to spend money on traffic support, so we need to think about how to make sure it's not wasted.]
Ji Wanqing was taken aback by the message from the other end, but then she thought about it and realized that they were focused on making money, so who would care about being smeared?
As long as she can still bring benefits to the union, then she deserves to be supported.
She understood all these principles, but at this moment she still felt a little sad about the coldness and indifference of human relationships.
Sunny Tuantuan: [What do you need me to do?]
The agent said, "Is that chat log real? If so, follow the clues and investigate. Let's turn things around."
The agent commented: "Sometimes, these kinds of posts aren't necessarily a bad thing. For a streamer, the worst thing is not getting any attention."
Ji Wanqing felt a mix of emotions as she looked at the message sent by her agent.
She understood what her agent meant: in this era where traffic is king, being famous even if you're not famous is still fame.
If she can seize this opportunity and turn negative news into positive buzz, her live-streaming career can actually reach new heights.
SunnyTuanTuan: [I understand, thank you for reminding me. I will handle this matter well.]
Agent: [Please let us know if you need any assistance from the union. We have a professional public relations team that can help you.]
SunnyTuanTuan: [Not for now, I want to handle it myself first. I'll let you know if I need anything.]
After the conversation ended, Ji Wanqing leaned back in her chair and fell into deep thought.
The agent is right; it's better to take the initiative than to be passively attacked.
Since some people want to see her fall from grace, she's determined to use this opportunity to prove her worth.
She reopened those negative posts and began to study them carefully.
Although the poster used a secondary account, the chat logs they posted were indeed genuine.
That was a conversation she had with a secondhand luxury goods store salesperson, about part of the process of her selling those designer bags.
She glanced at the time; it was already 11:30.
But she didn't care what time it was now; the other party had betrayed her first.
Ji Wanqing pulled up the salesperson's phone number and made a voice call directly to them.
It rang for a while, then the other end hung up.
Salesperson: [What's wrong?]
Ji Wanqing did not reply, but instead chose to continue calling.
This time it rang for a long time again, and the other party seemed to be doing some mental preparation, but she finally answered it.
"Miss Ji, what brings you here so late?"
"Hello, Ms. Zhuang, I think we should talk about the issue of client privacy?"
The person on the other end didn't expect Ji Wanqing to be so outspoken now. After a two-second silence, she replied, "I don't know what you're talking about."
"According to my country's Civil Code and Personal Information Protection Law, you have already caused me a negative impact." Ji Wanqing read it out seriously, then chuckled, "I can sue you and your store. Are you sure you want to continue playing dumb?"
The other side remained silent, so Ji Wanqing continued to guide the conversation.
"I know this wasn't your idea, so I don't intend to make things difficult for you. All I need is for you to have a proper talk with me."
"What do you want to ask..." As expected, the other side couldn't withstand Ji Wanqing's threats and probing, and seemed to give in.
“Miss Zhuang is very perceptive.” Ji Wanqing affirmed her choice. “I only need you to tell me who the mastermind is and the evidence. If necessary, I may also need you to speak out. Of course, if there are any losses, I will compensate you for half.”
"Why should I only get half?! Give me double, and I'll send you the evidence right now!" she shouted angrily at Ji Wanqing.
Ji Wanqing didn't care about the other party's attitude at all. She frowned, moved the phone away a little, and finally put it on the table and turned on speakerphone.
"You violated my privacy. People should be content. I just didn't want things to get too complicated. It doesn't mean I have no choice but to be manipulated by you. Do you understand?"
"Why should I believe you? He gave me ten thousand, and you want me to speak up for you for five thousand?" She was still hesitant.
"If you're not greedy enough, you'll be sued."
Ji Wanqing didn't give her a single second and immediately hung up the voice call.
She stared at the chat box, silently counting in her mind.
Ten seconds later, the other end of the line called back. Ji Wanqing smiled and knew that this move had been successful.
The next day, as soon as Ji Wanqing woke up, she saw a message from Miao Bu'er.
Meow Bu Er [Are you alright?]
Ji Wanqing smiled. She thought that Miao Bu'er didn't want to get involved with her anymore, so she didn't ask. It seems that's not the case.
Sunny Tuantuan: [I'm fine, Sister Meow, want to play games together tonight?]
She hadn't forgotten her promise to let her use her internet for free, but she was worried that her own affairs might affect her, so she decided to ask for her opinion first.
Meow_Bu_Er [Yes, you're getting your money back!]
Meow Bu Er [Rubs your hands; just tell me if you need any help.]
Ji Wanqing was deeply moved. Although profit was the priority when it came to making money, she was still sometimes moved to tears by such kindness.
Sunny Tuantuan: [Thank you for your concern, Sister Miao, but don't worry, I won't drag you into this. I've prepared a big show for tonight.]
Ji Wanqing spent most of the day at home as usual. Thinking about her appointment with Dr. Pei, she took the initiative to knock on Pei Yu's door around four o'clock in the afternoon.
When Pei Yu opened the door, he was still wearing an apron and was taken aback when he saw Ji Wanqing come over.
"Do as you please, there's still food on the pot. I'm going to the kitchen now."
Ji Wanqing changed into slippers and went inside to take a look. The decorating style was similar to his desk, without too many unnecessary things or decorations, making the house seem spacious and tidy.
She walked to the kitchen doorway. "I was thinking you might need any help."
Pei Yu glanced back at her while cooking, "No need, just wait to eat."
Ji Wanqing chuckled to herself. She wasn't really good at kitchen chores either, but she felt bad if she didn't ask. Seeing how easily Pei Yu handled things, it was clear he didn't need her help.
"Go sit in the living room for a while, I'll call you when it's ready." Pei Yu finished plating the dishes and kindly urged her to leave the smoky place.
Without keeping Ji Wanqing waiting any longer, before five o'clock, Pei Yu had prepared a table full of delicious and visually appealing dishes.
At this moment, Ji's mother also arrived. Looking at the dishes on the table, she smiled and praised Pei Yu's excellent cooking skills.
The meal was very enjoyable, mostly consisting of Ji's mother and Pei Yu chatting, occasionally interspersed with Ji Wanqing's praise.
After finishing the meal, Ji Wanqing felt a little embarrassed and offered to wash the dishes, but Pei Yu chased her away, saying, "What kind of logic is it to ask a guest to wash the dishes? I'm already happy that you've honored me with your presence."
Madam Ji raised an eyebrow, realizing that things were indeed as she had thought. After exchanging a few pleasantries, she took Ji Wanqing back home.
The live stream started promptly at 7 PM.
Ji Wanqing wore a plain makeup look, but her clothes were carefully chosen—a blue JK uniform that made her look youthful and lively.
"Good evening, everyone!" She smiled sweetly at the camera, as if nothing had happened.
The live chat immediately became active, with a mix of Ji Wanqing's fans who usually lurked around the screen, as well as many haters.
[Qingye gives away 1 Guardian Card] (1 Boiling Point Coin)
Kiyono [Good evening.]
[You look beautiful today.]
Wow, honey! Who are you trying to embarrass yourself with today?!
[Oh, isn't that the down-on-her-luck socialite who sold her handbags to save her mother? Dressed so elegantly, it's not a good time to play the victim.]
[Hilarious! Even with all that effort, she's not half as pretty as Lingling.]
[Even a big star like Wei Lingling can't compare to our Lele.]
Stop barking! [Haven't you been notified yet that Wei Lingling has been blacklisted?]
Finish line. [If you keep yelling like that, Lele might as well go home and farm.]
Blank space: [I can help.]
Ji Wanqing did not avoid these questions, but spoke calmly.
"I do have some things to say about yesterday's negative post, but before that, let's do our usual lucky draw, shall we? Today's lucky draw is sponsored by Brother Blank, so remember to wash your hands before you draw!"
She skillfully operated the lottery system, trying her best to keep the atmosphere in the live stream relaxed.
After handing out the lucky bags, Ji Wanqing smiled and looked back at the camera.
"Is everyone curious about who posted this?"
