Chapter 74 Do you want to gain more followers?
Wang Guanxi was looking down at his phone, not even lifting his head.
"not see."
She said she wouldn't be able to sleep at night unless she apologized in person.
Wang Guanxi looked up and glanced at Xie Baizhi.
"Is she having trouble sleeping, or is she just having trouble sleeping?"
Cecilia Cheung paused for a moment, then smiled.
"It should be the latter. She's been waiting at the door for almost an hour, and she even brought a gift."
"What gift?"
"A basket of fruit and a banner."
A banner?
Wang Guanxi immediately became interested.
"What does it say on the banner?"
"It says..." Xie Baizhi suppressed a laugh, "'A magnanimous person doesn't hold grudges against a petty person; a prime minister's belly can hold a boat.'"
Wang Guanxi remained silent for two seconds.
"Let her in."
……
When Ding Xiaotang walked into the office, Wang Guanxi finally saw her in her entirety.
It's not quite the same as in the video.
In the video, she used a level 10 beauty filter, showing off her full breasts, slim waist, and shapely buttocks; she definitely deserves the name "Little Chili Pepper."
In person, her features are alright, but her face is a bit round, and her chest isn't as white as it appears in the video.
She was wearing a floral dress, white chunky sneakers, carrying a fruit basket, and tucking the brocade banner under her arm.
He started bowing as soon as he entered the door.
"Mr. Wang, I'm so sorry, so sorry, so sorry!"
He bowed three times, and the apples in the fruit basket almost rolled out.
Wang Guanxi leaned back in his chair, watching her perform.
"Please sit down."
Ding Xiaotang sat down in the chair, placed the fruit basket on the ground, and leaned the banner against the table.
She looked up, her eyes red-rimmed.
This time it's really red, not just eye drops.
"Mr. Wang, that video of mine... I must have been out of my mind to post it. I didn't mean to smear Chongxi. Someone contacted me and offered me two thousand yuan to just read from a script. I... I didn't think much of it and just filmed it."
Wang Guanxi picked up his teacup and took a sip.
"Who contacted you?"
"I don't know his name, he's just someone I added on WeChat, his profile picture is a black square. He said he does online marketing and has a batch of jobs he's looking for to work with local small-time livestreamers."
Ding Xiaotang took out her phone, scrolled through the chat history, and handed it over.
Wang Guanxi took a look.
The other party spoke very cautiously, using voice messages throughout and not typing a single word. The transfer was made from an unknown WeChat account, amounting to two thousand yuan, with the note "cooperation fee".
"You accepted the job without even knowing who the other party was?"
Ding Xiaotang lowered her head, her voice barely audible, like a mosquito's buzz.
"I...I don't have many fans, so I don't get many offers. Two thousand dollars is a lot for me."
Wang Guanxi looked at her without saying anything.
Thinking he was about to get angry, Ding Xiaotang quickly added, "Mr. Wang, I've already deleted that video. I've also refunded the money. I even recorded an apology video; would you like to see it?"
She took out her phone, opened a video, and handed it over.
In the video, Ding Xiaotang appeared without makeup, with dark circles under her eyes and unkempt hair. She said to the camera, "I previously posted a false video about the Chongxi brand. I was paid to tell lies. I sincerely apologize to the Chongxi brand and President Wang. I'm sorry."
After saying this, he bowed.
After reading it, Wang Guanxi returned the phone to her.
"You released an apology video?"
"Not yet... I was thinking of showing it to you first, and then sending it to you if you agree."
"Send it."
Ding Xiaotang was taken aback: "You're not going to pursue the matter with me?"
"What am I supposed to pursue against you? Sue me and pay me two thousand dollars? That's not even enough for lawyer fees."
Ding Xiaotang's face turned red instantly.
Wang Guanxi leaned back in his chair, thought for a moment, and then suddenly asked a question.
How many people watch your live streams?
Ding Xiaotang was taken aback; she hadn't expected him to ask that.
"Normally there are only a few hundred people. The largest number we've ever had is over three thousand."
Do you want to gain more followers?
Ding Xiaotang's eyes lit up immediately.
"I want to! I dream about it!"
"Then do me a favor."
"What is it? Just tell me! I'll do anything I can, even go through fire and water..."
"Don't go through all that trouble," Wang Guanxi interrupted her. "After you get back, post the apology video. Then go to my factory and film a factory tour video. Film everything from the fabric warehouse to the cutting workshop to the sewing workshop. No beauty filters, no filters, just film it exactly as it is."
Ding Xiaotang opened her mouth: "This...will this work?"
"You'll know once you take the picture."
Ding Xiaotang gritted her teeth: "Fine! I'll film it!"
……
The next day, Ding Xiaotang's apology video was released.
She appeared on camera without makeup and with a sincere attitude, a stark contrast to the previous video where she was seen "crying and applying eye drops."
The tone of the comments section suddenly changed.
"This apology is much more sincere than the previous one."
"Admitting mistakes without makeup is better than those who use beauty filters to give fake apologies."
"Little Chili knows her mistakes and can correct them; she's still a good comrade."
The apology video garnered over 100,000 views in less than two hours.
That's more than ten of her usual videos combined.
With an excited heart and trembling, thin body, Ding Xiaotang stared at the backend data, overjoyed.
Ding Xiaotang is a local of Jiangcheng. Not long after she posted the video smearing Chongxi, a friend told her that Chongxi had a good relationship with Mayor Chen, and that this smear campaign against Chongxi would probably be dealt with soon.
Sure enough, just two days after she posted the video, Edison Wang personally came forward to clarify in a live broadcast, completely turning around Chongxi's reputation.
This time, her friend told her again to delete the video as soon as possible and it would be best to apologize in person, otherwise she should be careful of being sued by the legal department of [Chongxi].
Ding Xiaotang listened to the advice and immediately deleted the video. She also personally went to the [Chongxi] factory.
Unexpectedly, the boss of [Chongxi] is a very easy person to talk to. He doesn't mind her slander at all and even let her film a video of visiting the factory.
Now that just an apology video has gone viral, she's even more excited for the upcoming factory visit video.
The next day, while the buzz was still going strong, she quickly released a second video.
Factory visit.
In the video, she really didn't use any beauty filters or effects; she just showed her bare face, starting from the fabric warehouse.
"Hey guys, I'm at Chongxi's factory right now. This is the fabric warehouse. Look, these fabrics are stacked up neatly, and each batch has an entry record and quality inspection report."
The camera pans across the warehouse, where fabrics are sorted and stacked by color and material, with labels clearly written on them.
Then comes the cutting workshop.
"This is an automatic cutting machine, computer-controlled, and very precise. As you can see, the cut fabric has neat edges with no rough edges."
In the sewing workshop, dozens of sewing machines were running at the same time, and the workers were working with their heads down.
Ding Xiaotang randomly picked up a half-finished product and turned the inside seam up to face the camera.
"Look, the loose threads are handled really neatly. When I said 'lots of loose threads' in my previous video, I was just reading from a script; I hadn't even seen the actual product myself. I apologize to Mr. Wang and to all the ladies who bought Chongxi clothes."
Finally, she walked to the packaging area, picked up a finished T-shirt, and said something to the camera.
"To be honest, after filming this video, I even wanted to buy two of them myself."
