116: Chapter 116 I took my pants off, and this is what you show me?

After finishing up various matters here,

Bai Jingqing soon embarked on his journey back home.

If it weren't for the food and drink being far too simple,

Bai Jingqing would have liked to stay in India for a while longer.

For no other reason

than the enthusiastic atmosphere at the launch event deeply moving him;

the Mi Fans in India were simply too passionate!

This was also the first time he had given a speech in English on such a grand occasion,

and thinking back, he actually felt it was quite successful!

When Bai Jingqing wanted to ask the staff for the recording of the event,

to look back at his eloquent style on stage

and keep it as a memento,

the staff were evasive and stammering,

refusing to let Bai Jingqing see it even if it killed them!

With such an embarrassing scene,

now that Young Boss Bai wanted this recording,

could he be planning to find a scapegoat and then fire someone?

So, these staff members were all very tight-lipped,

passing the buck back and forth,

all saying the recording wasn't with them.

Finally, they reached a consensus: there was no recording of the entire launch event.

Bai Jingqing felt quite a bit of regret about this,

but simply told them to make sure to record future launch events,

to leave behind more video materials,

so it would be easier to do things like anniversary summaries in the future.

Although he didn't see the recording of himself on stage with his own eyes,

he felt a surge of confidence;

since Huayao was preparing to enter the global market,

there would be plenty more days for him to take the stage at launch events!

Next time he went on stage,

he would definitely find someone to record it for him,

to leave behind some video footage,

so that future generations could admire his eloquent style while speaking English!

After Double Eleven passed,

New Year's Day soon arrived,

bringing another wave of major promotions,

after which sales entered a flat period.

The next most important time node was the Lunar New Year.

The Lunar New Year is the day that Dragon Country people value the most;

although celebrating New Year's Day is also called 'passing the year',

it always feels like it's missing something.

And this Spring Festival

would also be the first New Year Bai Jingqing would spend since his transmigration.

How should this first New Year be spent?

He was still in the middle of planning.

Meanwhile, in the office of Li Xiang Technology,

Xue Haixin's recently worried expression finally showed a hint of improvement!

Just now,

a staff member from the publicity group had sent him a video,

saying it was dirt on Bai Jingqing!

That staff member said he had gone to the same university as a long-time employee of Huayao,

and they had a good relationship,

often eating and drinking together in private.

The last time they were drinking,

that old classmate said there was a file of dirt on Young Boss Bai circulating within Huayao!

He was immediately interested,

but despite his constant begging,

the old classmate refused to tell him!

It wasn't until they were both tipsy

and he kept saying nice things about the old classmate,

flattering him until he was pleased

and feeling a bit lightheaded,

that the old classmate finally sent him a copy of the file!

The publicity staff member also specifically instructed Xue Haixin

that he absolutely must not watch this video in a public, serious setting,

and it was best to watch it secretly in private!

Xue Haixin was immediately intrigued.

He sent away the secretary who was processing documents nearby,

closed the office door,

and only then stealthily clicked open the video.

Bai Jingqing, oh Bai Jingqing,

you're still young!

When you have money and power,

it's inevitable that you'll do bad things.

I heard you've been working hard lately to become the spiritual leader in the hearts of Huayao employees?

With this kind of dirt,

I'll see how you can still be a spiritual leader!

Before clicking on that video,

Xue Haixin thought a lot.

For Huayao to reach its current state,

Bai Jingqing was definitely the number one contributor!

Now, as long as he could release dirt on Bai Jingqing and completely ruin him,

Huayao would surely fall into chaos!

So, thinking that the opportunity for Li Xiang Technology to reclaim the market was right before him,

Xue Haixin couldn't suppress his excitement

and finally clicked into the video.

Then...

Xue Haixin looked at the awkward scene on the screen,

listened to the magical 'Are you OK' coming from Bai Jingqing's mouth,

and couldn't help but be covered in black lines.

Wait,

this is the dirt on Bai Jingqing?

I've already taken off my pan—

No, I was all ready to see Bai Jingqing battle three thousand supermodels,

and you show me this?

And why can't this video be watched in a public, serious setting?

Xue Haixin truly didn't understand,

and quickly went to question the publicity staff member.

The staff member replied, "Chairman Xue,

this video is just too awkward.

I was afraid you'd click into it during a meeting and wouldn't be able to stop yourself from laughing out loud,

so I was giving you a kind reminder."

Xue Haixin: ...

"But this really does count as dirt.

Although it's not as explosive as I expected,

it will definitely have a certain impact on Bai Jingqing's image.

Is Bai Jingqing's spoken English actually this garbage?"

After watching the video,

Xue Haixin was also so cringed that he could have dug out a three-bedroom apartment with his toes.

Xue Haixin pondered secretly,

starting to think about how to make a big deal out of this video.

Finally, he came up with a good idea,

and another storm of public opinion was already on its way.

"Video from the Huayao company's India launch event leaked.

The current President of Huayao, Bai Jingqing, attended the launch and spoke on stage;

his English level is truly nothing to write home about."

As many marketing accounts released it,

many uninformed onlookers clicked into the video one after another,

and each one was instantly cringed out.

This was just the beginning.

Next, Xue Haixin also purchased a large number of internet trolls

to start smearing Bai Jingqing.

"As the president of such a large company,

with such poor English,

he still has the face to stand on a foreign launch stage and speak.

He's really embarrassing us abroad!"

"Look at this bumpkin's appearance.

I've always felt that Huayao's products are very 'low',

matching the company owner's temperament perfectly.

Those who use Xiaomi are all losers!"

"I don't know who is hyping up high-end every day.

He can't even speak English clearly,

yet he's still thinking about making high-end products.

Looking at Bai Jingqing now,

he feels like a stray dog."

There were many such narratives being pushed.

This time, Xue Haixin intended to equate Huayao with being 'low',

completely crushing Huayao's high-end image!

Huayao was no longer the same Huayao that had nothing before.

After discovering this wave of narratives online,

Huayao's PR team also reacted immediately,

arranging a large number of trolls of their own

to clash with the haters alongside Huayao's true fans.

"So not being able to speak English equals being 'low', right?

You've really been kneeling for so long that you can't stand up.

In your mind, your foreign daddy's things are high-end,

and not being able to speak your foreign daddy's language is 'low'."

"If nothing else,

daring to go up on such a grand occasion and speak a few words of English is already impressive.

You guys don't even think about how old Young Boss Bai is this year."

"Young Boss Bai never cultivated a persona as a top student, right?

Why must an ordinary Dragon Country person

speak English well?"

More and more people joined the fray,

and this war of words grew more and more intense.
