Chapter 40 Shameless! Riding on her success to gain popularity!
The assistant was taken aback. She thought that since it was Zhao Baoqi's first time doing this, he would definitely make mistakes and be careless without guidance, and at least wouldn't be so meticulous.
"You mean... Miss Xia did all of this?"
The assistant recalled what Zhao Baoqi usually looked like when he came to the company.
I also think it's unlikely that she did it.
Fu Yubai smiled, looked out at the torrential rain, and sighed.
"Xia Mian is a really good girl. She's so young, but she's so serious and meticulous in her work. If you didn't know better, you'd think she had experience working at a big company."
Fu Yubai turned his gaze back to the documents in front of him.
"Approve all the benefits for truck drivers, such as meal allowances and fuel subsidies. Also, release press releases and send them to our partner media outlets, including our official website and WeChat account."
"Okay, Mr. Fu."
...
Media reporters braved the heavy rain to conduct live interviews with rescued disaster victims.
As luck would have it, the two reporters interviewed Mr. and Mrs. Shen.
“At first the water wasn’t that deep, but we were on the first floor. There was a girl named Xia Mian… she had her friend Zhao Baoqi… and a pair of twin brothers.”
“My wife and I are old and couldn’t stand steadily in the floodwater. We almost drowned.”
"They arrived in time and saved us."
"I never imagined that these young people would become the pillars of the nation's future!" Teacher Shen exclaimed with deep emotion.
Especially considering that the school had completely ignored them, while a few unfamiliar young people had saved them.
"Excuse me, Ms. Xia and Ms. Zhao..." The reporter's gaze swept across the scene. "Where are they? I'd like to interview them."
"I don't know, I was here this morning!"
"Okay, okay." The reporter didn't continue searching for Xia Mian, but instead went to interview other people.
The photographer, carrying a camera and live-streaming equipment, followed behind the reporter, walking forward with uneven steps.
Netizens stayed at home watching the devastating rainstorm, and some of Xia Mian's fans were shocked when they heard the name Xia Mian.
Many people flocked to Xia Mian's account to leave comments, and then, by sheer coincidence, they discovered that Xia Mian and Zhao Baoqi had posted a collaborative video.
"My goodness! My beautiful and kind-hearted Mianbao!"
"She and Seven Baby actually donated money! They donated supplies! They even personally went to the Three Little Cats factory to pick up the supplies!"
"Two whole truckloads! My God!"
"I love it! Share this, I absolutely have to share this!"
"Like, comment, and share all in one go!"
"The Three Kittens are so delicious! Their instant noodles are amazing! And they also have cookies and nuts!"
"It's raining so hard! Mianbao and Qibao actually went out to transport supplies! I'm about to cry!"
"My mom won't let me go out, and I'm too scared to go out either!"
"Donate! This video deserves a donation!"
Netizens spontaneously began to tip Xia Mian and Zhao Baoqi for this collaborative video.
In a short time, this collaborative creation garnered over 100,000 likes and more than 50,000 comments.
Furthermore, the two girls continue to gain followers!
Who wouldn't like a beautiful and kind-hearted girl?
Xia Mian and Zhao Baoqi had no idea about the online frenzy and the excitement of the fans.
The two women, along with a large truck, had already arrived at the scene.
Many disaster victims were moved to nearby high ground, where they set up tents and lit fires to keep warm.
The floodwaters caused by the torrential rain were smelly, filthy, and emitted a nauseating stench.
In some areas, there are floating objects, debris, and excrement in the water...
The volunteers, including firefighters and many of the soldiers led by Fu Yanshen, couldn't care less about these things.
Their feet and legs were white from being soaked in the icy floodwaters, and every step they took was difficult.
However, they still used all their strength to unload the supplies brought by Xia Mian and the others from the truck, box after box.
Their clothes were soaked with sweat and rain, and their faces were full of exhaustion.
But their eyes were unwavering, as if burning with flames.
Because of Fu Yubai's decisive action, the Fu Group's supplies were the first to arrive at the scene!
Xia Mian and Zhao Baoqi's supplies were the second!
Many companies, including internet celebrities, saw that they had taken the lead in donating money and supplies and followed suit.
There were many reporters at the scene. They were very excited to see Xia Mian and Zhao Baoqi and immediately started filming and recording, and even came over to interview them.
However, Xia Mian and Zhao Baoqi both declined, saying, "It's just a small favor; we just hope everyone can stay safe and healthy."
"We don't have any other ideas. We need to move supplies, please make way."
Be humble and modest!
"Ms. Xia, I only have one question. I saw sanitary napkins among the supplies you donated?" A female reporter followed Xia Mian closely.
"Yes. Because there are many female friends among the disaster victims, and with such heavy rain, many shops were flooded, I thought... some of them might be on their period. So Baoqi and I decided to donate some sanitary napkins."
Xia Mian glanced at the reporter and said, "This water is very cold and icy; I hope it can warm them up."
The reporter looked excitedly at the live broadcast camera.
"Ms. Xia is so thoughtful! She even prepared sanitary napkins! In this information age, women should no longer be ashamed to talk about their menstrual period and sanitary napkins! They should face it bravely and boldly! Thank you, Ms. Xia and Ms. Zhao!"
The viewers of the live stream were of all ages, men and women, young and old, who were trapped at home because of the heavy rain. They were all shocked when they saw what Xia Mian and Zhao Baoqi did!
There were not just tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of viewers in the live stream, but millions!
The screen was filled with a frenzy of comments.
"I didn't expect Xia Mian and Zhao Baoqi to be so thoughtful at such a young age."
"Truly putting women at heart."
"Finally, I've seen a positive influencer who loves her daughter!"
"I love my daughter so much, I truly love her, I'm so touched."
...
Lu Lian'er's alternate account had been following Xia Mian, and she was particularly impressed when she saw the video of Xia Mian donating supplies that garnered so much love from netizens.
She immediately followed suit, recording a video of herself donating supplies in a truck, as well as a video of herself falling into the floodwater looking pathetic and pitiful.
And it was accompanied by a pitiful caption.
"My sister @XiaMian donated supplies, and I want to learn from her. I'm not afraid of hardship or fatigue. Even if I fall, I will get up on my own and keep running forward."
The money came from the three Xia brothers, but the reputation was earned by her.
Her post also tagged Xia Mian!
The supplies she gathered, and the banners on the trucks, all bore her name, Lu Lian'er! They had absolutely nothing to do with the Xia family!
"Lu Lian'er donated one million yuan worth of supplies!"
Her video of attending the LX fashion show a couple of days ago didn't attract much attention from netizens, with only a few hundred likes and a dozen comments.
It made her feel extremely disappointed and sad for two days.
But this time, she's sure to become famous!
