59: Chapter 59 I'm really not trying to fleece you.

In reality, the staff in the Li Xiang Technology publicity department had indeed been working very hard.

In this short amount of time, they had approached the matter from different angles, logged into different accounts, posted hundreds of threads, and even briefly occupied the forum's main square.

Quite a few netizens had seen those posts.

However, they dismissed these posts with disdain, because anyone who took a glance could tell that someone was trying to stir up trouble against Boss Bai.

They didn't buy into these remarks at all; they even spontaneously reported them, then immediately opened the Taobao app on their phones, went to Bai Jingqing's online store, and placed orders for some accessories.

Even if they were being fleeced, they were willing!

Because they truly did not want Bai Jingqing's phone shop to go out of business!

At least in their eyes, Bai Jingqing was a very conscientious businessman; he wasn't even willing to accept everyone's donations!

The fact that he was selling such expensive accessories now must mean he had some unspeakable difficulties, so being able to support Boss Bai in this way made them quite happy.

Some people even started posting on the forum to angrily rebuke those who were trying to stir up trouble.

"Those dogs trying to stir up trouble can just drop dead! Are these accessories expensive? Boss Bai didn't force you to buy them, so why are you barking here? Besides, I was planning to donate to Boss Bai anyway, so now that I'm buying some of his accessories, I'll just consider it a donation to Boss Bai."

"Exactly! I donate to Boss Bai, and he actually gives me some accessories in return. Is there such a good thing? Is there such a good boss?"

"I'm truly speechless. I haven't been on the forum for a few days, and now people are slandering Boss Bai! Where were you when he was selling phones for 1999 and 2999? Now that he's selling a 200-yuan phone case, you're making a fuss. I'm going to buy one just to see!"

"You are all a bunch of idiots! You can't even handle such a small task! If you want to stir up trouble, just do it; why did you have to mention Li Xiang Technology? Don't you know that these netizens are particularly sensitive to Li Xiang Technology right now?"

Xue Haixin was extremely furious at this moment, shouting at the few people in the publicity department.

"Don't you know how to hide your intentions? Those posts were too obvious! It was completely slandering for the sake of slandering! Right now, in the eyes of those gamers, Bai Jingqing is practically a savior. You can't just openly and blatantly slander him; you have to do it indirectly, understand? And you call yourselves publicity experts! You don't even understand such a simple principle? You are all a bunch of trash!"

Xue Haixin just shook his head as he looked at them.

"You can't even keep an account from getting banned; I'll do it myself!"

Xue Haixin decided to take matters into his own hands.

He registered an account using his own phone number and then wrote a long, flowing post, talking about how Boss Bai was a very good person who didn't hesitate to go into debt to provide benefits to everyone, and how Boss Bai refused to accept donations, making him very noble and great.

But then he changed his tune, saying that it was perfectly reasonable for Boss Bai to raise funds in this way, and that if everyone got fleeced, so be it; it didn't matter at all, since everyone was rich anyway.

It was a classic case of "praise after criticism," with the sarcasm turned up to the maximum.

After finishing it, Xue Haixin read it through once more and realized that his skills had not dulled with age!

The article was written with such passion and eloquence; his literary talent was comparable to Cao Zhibu! Once again, he was impressed by his own writing.

He hadn't written an essay in a long time, but he didn't expect his writing prowess to be as sharp as ever.

He then excitedly clicked to publish the post, while smugly boasting to the people from the publicity group nearby: "Watch closely, you guys. I'm only going to demonstrate how to stir up trouble once!"

However, one minute later, the post was shown as hidden, and his account had been directly banned.

"F***!" Xue Haixin cursed directly, almost dying of anger.

"Are you people sick or something? What was wrong with the article I wrote? It's obvious that Bai Jingqing is fleecing people. Don't you know that? Can't you tell? Or do you really think it doesn't matter if he fleeces you? But what if he keeps fleecing you? Are you just going to let him keep doing it? Let's see if you still support him then!"

Xue Haixin let out a string of angry curses.

The corners of the mouths of the people in the publicity group were harder to suppress than an AK, but for the sake of their jobs, they could only pretend to be filled with righteous indignation.

In fact, the community administrators saw through Xue Haixin's little trick at a glance.

Xue Haixin's account was a new one that he had just registered; it had no other posts.

For the first post to be so long, specifically about Boss Bai selling accessories, and written in such a sarcastic tone, it was clearly a hater trying to stir up trouble! They didn't even need to think about it—just ban him!

Right now, in the forum, Boss Bai was truly like a god-like existence!

Anyone who dared to stir up trouble against him would be ruthlessly banned by the administrators.

Inside the forum, many netizens had started to show off, posting their purchase records one after another.

"Brothers, it's the thought that counts. I bought 15 of these phone cases, which adds up to about 3000 yuan. I'll just consider it a donation to Boss Bai. Even if I'm being fleeced, I accept it!"

"Brothers, I bought ten Yuandao earphones, contributing 100 yuan to Boss Bai. I don't have much money and I don't need so many earphones, but I'm doing it to support Boss Bai."

"We know that Boss Bai is a person with a lot of self-respect. He won't accept direct donations, so we can only support him by buying some accessories. Plus, it just so happens that the chargers at home all broke for no reason, so I bought seven or eight. That shouldn't be too excessive, right?"

Bai Jingqing was, of course, also scrolling through the forum.

In fact, he wasn't very moved by these posts where netizens were showing off their purchase records.

"Those are actually very good products! I am really not fleecing anyone! And I am not using this method to raise funds!"

Bai Jingqing felt like crying but had no tears.

However, he believed that once those people received the goods, they would know how good those accessories were.

"Like that Pitaka phone case, it is a bit expensive, but the feel is really good! And the Crystal Sugar charger—since it's a product from the future, the fast-charging protocols are all compatible. In this era, where everything else is slow-charging at a few watts, this charger is quite capable! Plus, the size is very compact, and it can even charge at 20W, which will still be usable at least after the xiaomi 6 or even the xiaomi 7 are released. These are really all very good things; I am really not fleecing anyone!"
