132: Chapter 132 What?! Things have taken a turn for the better?!

The next day.

A marketing company in Modu was holding an emergency meeting.

The boss hadn't arrived yet, and the employees below were whispering among themselves.

"Sigh... why do we have to have another meeting today?"

"What's wrong? Did something happen to the company?"

"It's not us; it's the Oak Company!"

"I heard Oak Company has made some waves again."

"Are they playing with marketing on Douyin again?"

"That kid Qin Xun has really figured out how to use short video traffic!"

"Didn't you guys check Douyin today? It's a scandal! Qin Xun beat up a passerby in the street, and that passerby was a peer in the marketing industry!"

"He was really ruthless!"

"He almost kicked the guy's balls to pieces!"

"Is today's meeting about industry peers uniting to boycott Qin Xun?"

...

Several headhunting companies in Haicheng.

Everyone was also discussing Qin Xun's scandal.

"This kid has bad character. I knew he'd have a day like this!"

"I stuffed so much money under his door, and the bastard didn't even say a single word to me."

"Sigh... what a pity. He completely ruined his own value!"

"Beating up a passerby at a client's opening ceremony—how arrogant does someone have to be to do that?"

"He even sent the person to the hospital. This kind of violent behavior not only slapped the client's face but also blackened the company's reputation."

"He's going to jail for this!"

"Now, no company will be willing to hire him for marketing, right?"

"Sigh... what a pity..."

"What's there to be pity about? Anyway, this guy is stubborn and impossible to poach."

...

Flower City.

The headquarters of other milk tea chain companies.

In the offices of competitors like Keke Milk Tea, CC Milk Tea, Great King Tea, and Little Soughing Wind Milk Tea.

Various voices were discussing the matter, some gloating over his misfortune.

"He blew it!"

"He really blew it, didn't he?!"

"The video trending on Douyin shows Qin Xun beating up an innocent spectator in the street at Dudu Tea's opening ceremony!"

"That's what you get for selling cheap and using powdered ingredients!"

"Trying to use low prices to seize the market? Keep dreaming!"

"Spending 10 million to buy a joke! Qian Yunfa's hair must be falling out!"

"Everyone, hurry up and prepare. I heard Dudu Tea was going to shut down before. Let's contact them quickly and snatch up some of those prime location storefronts."

"Spending 10 million to buy a scandal on the trending list! They're something else! Haha!"

...

Dudu Tea Flower City subsidiary headquarters.

Sun Hua showed the video of Qin Xun beating the passerby to Qian Yunfa, looking a bit worried.

"Mr. Qian, this is clearly fake. Is someone trying to set us up?"

"They moved so fast?"

Qian Yunfa frowned.

"Don't worry. I have a feeling something isn't right. I'm afraid this might be directed and acted out by Qin Xun himself."

Sun Hua was startled.

"You think that highly of him?"

Qian Yunfa sighed.

"I'm not afraid of you laughing. I'm... actually a bit afraid of him now."

Sun Hua: "..."

...

Flower City.

A certain hotel.

The video posted by Mi Xier that hit the trending list had attracted the attention of the general public.

Just as everyone was wondering why they couldn't comment and what kind of shady business was being hidden,

Some netizens who were at the scene, and others who had seen videos from a bystander's perspective, were fuming and wanted to click in to explain.

Finding that they couldn't comment, they were nearly exploding with rage!

They had no choice but to send private messages to Mi Xier to explain, using fierce language that even brought up her ancestors.

Mi Xier looked at her private messages, which were already crowded with foul language, smiled, and turned off the comment restrictions on the video.

"These people have such foul mouths!"

"I just threw some dirty water on Qin Xun, I didn't dig up your ancestral graves!"

"Come on, come on, come to the comment section to curse!"

...

Instantly.

Netizens who discovered they could comment began to rampage in Mi Xier's comment section like they had eaten gunpowder.

The comments grew at an alarming speed, like a rising tide.

...

At that marketing company in Modu holding the emergency meeting.

Everyone was still mocking Qin Xun.

Suddenly.

Someone shouted.

"The story about Qin Xun hitting someone has reversed!"

Hearing this.

Everyone hurried to click into Mi Xier's Douyin to watch the pinned video titled 'Qin Xun Hit Someone'.

They found that the comment section already had over 1,000 comments.

Netizens were filled with righteous indignation.

[Mi Xier, I misjudged you! Can you please respect the facts?!]

[I was at the scene. Where did Qin Xun hit anyone?]

[With which eye did you see him hit someone?]

[I have a friend who can testify—those five people were the ones who hit him!]

[Unfollowed! Unfollowed!]

[Damn it, these people are just talking nonsense. Please tell me which hospital they are in?]

[I'll bring two bottles of Coke from the kitchen to go see them!]

[Qin Xun was so sad, and you're still throwing dirty water on him?]

...

The people in the marketing company looked at each other in shock.

"What happened?"

"Are there any other videos out now?"

"Did any of you see the bystander videos from the scene?"

Suddenly.

A voice rang out.

"Look at Mi Xier's latest video; there's a full version."

Everyone hurried to click on it.

The first thing that reached their ears was a sentence.

"Is it a loss of morality, or a distortion of human nature?"

"Mi Xier found some bystanders from the scene and asked them for the videos they filmed."

"Please follow the small screen as we step into the Qin Xun assault incident."

On the screen was a professionally edited montage of several videos.

At the opening ceremony of Dudu Tea.

The crowd was bustling, and the store manager was giving a speech.

Then, music started playing from the speakers.

"You love me, I love you, Dudu Tea is so sweet..."

It was catchy and brainwashing.

It amused everyone.

Then, two snowmen jumped out—cute, silly, and cheeky.

They had a dance battle for a while.

They held up a large banner to provoke other milk tea shops and even 'kidnapped' a couple to buy milk tea.

Afterward.

Qin Xun took the stage to give a speech.

He shouted, "Dudu Tea's global relaunch debut!"

He announced the price.

Immediately after, someone questioned, "Is it made from milk tea powder and fruit syrup?"

Qin Xun began to tell the story of a young boy and girl and their 32-yuan milk tea in a low voice.

He shouted a sentence that made everyone's skin tingle.

"That day, I swore that in this life, I must open a milk tea shop that everyone can afford!"

The onlookers were moved.

But... someone was still cold-hearted and questioned loudly.

"You... just made that up, didn't you?"

Qin Xun didn't answer directly but instead sang a soulful rendition of 'written for huang huai,' telling a hazy and poignantly beautiful story.

"A song written for huang huai in the dead of night, you are the love I cannot express in words."

An incredibly beautiful milk tea girl brought over a cup of milk tea.

Qin Xun picked up the milk tea and whispered.

"Every year when the peach blossoms bloom, I think of someone."

"She once... liked me very much."

The crowd fell silent, their emotional defenses broken.

But.

Qin Xun didn't let those heartbroken spectators off, dropping another golden quote.

"later... I finally learned how to love."

"But unfortunately, she had already gone far away... disappearing into the crowd."

"later... I finally understood through tears,"

"That some people, once missed... are gone forever."

He struck heavy blows against the people's heartstrings, leaving them in tatters.

People thought it would end there.

But Qin Xun, still lost in reminiscence, said with full of regret,

"Actually... 32 yuan isn't really that expensive."

He turned and walked away in silence.

Everyone watched him leave.

And then...

Those five most obnoxious people received a brutal beating, howling louder than pigs being slaughtered for the New Year.

The entrance to the milk tea shop was swamped!

The entire street was in a state of riot—it was shocking!

Opening the comment section, there were already over 1,000 comments.
