Chapter 110: Review Blogger Tao Zhiduo! Gao Qiang is in the Slammer!

But he didn't care too much; if the employees liked to eat, let them!

As for snacking during work hours, as long as it didn't affect their work, it didn't matter.

After handling some documents in the office, he went to the reception area at 10:50.

Before long, a young man wearing glasses walked in.

Su Yang stood up from the sofa to greet him, "Tao Zhiduo, over here!"

Tao Zhiduo walked up to Su Yang and asked a bit cautiously, "Are you President Su?"

"Yes!" Su Yang nodded and pointed to the sofa opposite him. "Sit!"

"Okay!"

Tao Zhiduo was one of the potential candidates Su Yang had found, specializing in digital product reviews.

This was one of the more profitable niches among the many influencer tracks.

Su Yang had briefly mentioned the compensation, and he had rushed over all the way from Zhejiang Province.

This type of blogger does make money once they develop, but they need financial support in the early stages.

Su Yang chatted with Tao Zhiduo for a while and got a general understanding of his situation.

Tao Zhiduo was born into a well-off family, had good grades since childhood, and was interested in various electronic digital products.

He was a master's graduate from a prestigious university. After graduation, he worked for a well-known domestic home appliance company for a while, then hopped to a small company as a product manager.

Not long ago, the company he worked for started cutting salaries.

Feeling a sense of crisis and a bit depressed, he began trying to be a self-media blogger in his spare time.

The direction he chose was exactly what he was best at: digital electronic products.

He hadn't thought about becoming famous; he just hoped for an alternative career path.

If he could make a little money, that would be even better!

Moreover, he was interested in this and wanted to share his thoughts online!

At first, his account didn't do very well, but he was willing to learn.

He not only taught himself video production techniques but also read domestic and international papers and journals to keep up with the cutting edge of technological inventions.

He would also watch videos from other review bloggers, analyzing their techniques, styles, and scripts.

Gradually, his videos got better and better, and he started gaining fans and positive reviews.

But he soon felt the financial pressure.

He was usually quite a big spender and hadn't saved much money.

His popularity was insufficient, and his follower count was low, so almost no sponsors were willing to fund him.

There was one brand willing to pay him for an advertisement, but after Tao Zhiduo used the company's product, he was completely dumbfounded.

Not to mention this piece of junk product had poor quality and few features, its price wasn't even low... how was he supposed to hype it up?

He knew very well that to do reviews, one must build a good reputation.

If he couldn't establish credibility, it would be impossible to grow the account.

And he also felt that doing so would be a form of deception toward his fans.

Even if he were to promote a sponsor's product, it had to have at least some merits!

Even if the performance was crap, if the price was low, he could hype up the cost-effectiveness or call it a budget alternative!

So, after doing self-media for two months, Tao Zhiduo had been losing money.

Recently, looking at his JD Baitiao balance, he began to doubt himself.

He was wondering if he should continue.

Hearing that Su Yang was willing to give him a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan, along with promises of traffic promotion and financial support, Tao Zhiduo simply took a leave of absence and came to Rongcheng to take a look.

In his view, the salary Su Yang offered was a sign of sincerity!

Running a company isn't charity. Since Spark Media was willing to offer him a base salary of 10,000, it proved they were confident they could make that money back from him!

That meant they were definitely sincere about cultivating him!

He had also looked into Spark Media. The company had been established for two months and had a relatively well-known beauty blogger, Dai Jiaying, but the momentum of several newcomers in their company was very good.

They seemed to be an MCN Company that excelled at training newcomers, which was exactly what he needed most at this stage!

Su Yang felt that Tao Zhiduo was quite good—rational, clear-headed, and with certain principles.

The company's evaluation of Tao Zhiduo was that he was gradually forming his own stylistic positioning.

He gave people an impression of being very professional, honest, straightforward, optimistic, and knowledgeable, with high fan loyalty.

After reaching an agreement with Tao Zhiduo, Su Yang also treated him to a meal as a gesture of hospitality.

After seeing Tao Zhiduo off, Su Yang knew that he would definitely come back.

Thinking of this, he was in a quite good mood.

Tao Zhiduo was the eleventh influencer with the potential to reach a million followers within a year that he had signed!

Besides Gong Zihao, Li Xiang, Yin Wenyu, Xia Jingshu, Duan Hongyu, Jiang Yan, and Tao Zhiduo...

There was also Fan Gang, a northerner who had just been discharged from the military, loved fitness, and was covered in lean muscle.

There was Tong Yuanbin, who excelled at reviewing all sorts of weird and quirky foods and small items, with an exaggerated style and occasionally blabbing a few words of Japanese, Korean, English... and other strange languages.

There was Fu Yueyun, who liked sharing an exquisite lifestyle and could thrive on Xiaohongshu.

There was Bao Guanlin, who was skilled in the pastoral style and traditional Chinese ink murals.

Most of these people were bound by contracts.

Of course, Su Yang would also cultivate them well.

At the very least, stylistic positioning, development planning, and behind-the-scenes team support would all be fully provided.

He wasn't afraid of having too many employees!

In the afternoon, Su Yang originally wanted to go to Jiuxiang Catering, but halfway there, he received a call from Yi Jiangang, the general manager of Spark Fitness, saying that Gao Qiang, the manager of the Qinglong District branch, was in the slammer.

That afternoon, a female customer came for a personal training session and complained to Gao Qiang that she had been molested by a coach, and she also claimed she would expose the matter online.

After checking the surveillance footage, Gao Qiang directly gave the involved coach a violent beating.

When the police arrived, they took away the involved coach, Gao Qiang, and the woman.

Many customers at the scene had recorded videos.

Currently, Xu Zhiping was on his way to the police station.

Hearing this news, Su Yang couldn't help but rub his temples.

He had always known that gyms could indeed be a bit messy.

Not to mention those male and female coaches, all of whom were physically strong and had excess energy.

Those customers weren't exactly easy to deal with either.

But as long as both parties were single and it was consensual...

Su Yang had no reason to intervene.

He couldn't go around managing other people's love lives, could he?

But something like molestation was more or less unacceptable.

Moreover, his gym was filled with surveillance cameras; that bastard actually dared to make a move!

Was his brain really being controlled by his primal instincts?

However, on second thought, as long as that fitness coach wasn't beaten too badly, Gao Qiang's handling of the matter seemed okay!

Even if it blew up, there was still room to salvage Spark Fitness's reputation.

He used Business Deduction again, and indeed, it didn't affect Spark Fitness's business!

Gao Qiang's name never appeared in the deduction either, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

Su Yang asked in a calm tone, "How do you plan to handle it?"

Yi Jiangang said fiercely, "Fire that fitness coach and sue him directly!"

"Yes, that works!" Su Yang thought for a moment and added, "Tell Xu Zhiping to actively cooperate with the police. We must stand with that customer and act even more ruthlessly than she does!"

"I understand!"

Yi Jiangang naturally understood what Su Yang meant.

"Also, have the employees make follow-up calls to the female members of the gym to see if anything similar has happened!" Su Yang said in a low voice. "If there are complaints and the surveillance is still saved, review it. If confirmed, fire them. If there's no surveillance evidence but there are records of complaints, note them down first."

"Yes, Boss!"

"I'll have the people from Spark Media handle the crisis PR; they'll come to settle the bill later!"

"Yes, Boss!"

"That's all then!"
