Chapter 265: Monkeys Watching a Show
Li Min looked shocked. "It started an hour or so ago. We were waiting for it to get picked up."
"What's it looking like right now?" Xiong Fen stood up imdiately.
"Right now, it's just a lot of comnts bashing Venus and banning stores. But I also saw so short clips from influential handles that troubled ." And it did seem the matter worried Li Min. She looked at Qian ng with a little fear.
"What is it?" she asked. She could only imagine how much worse it was getting. At least there was no mob surrounding their building. That would be a different level of anarchy that she would have to handle and she didn't think she was up for it.
"We have so beauty vloggers turning the scandal into a publicity stunt and a trend," Li Min started. She tapped on her phone and showed Qian ng a video.
"What is she doing?" Qian ng asked, horrified. It was a matte compact her company had produced the year before and it had sold really well. The reviews were excellent as well.
But this vlogger was scraping away at the compact and breaking it apart to reveal the package underneath. Qian ng almost felt her eyes tear up.
"How dare—" she was about to shout when Li Min rushed forward.
"Boss, it's picking up right now. It's a couple of people who are doing this, but too many people are entertained by it. Destroying makeup and accessories is a global social dia trend at the mont."
Xiong Fen too tried her best to calm Qian ng down. "I know it's disturbing to see sothing you worked so hard on being destroyed for the entertainnt of others, but there is a controversial talk about this. It is disrespectful, but it is the custor's decision on what they want to do with their products. If they want to throw it away, use it every day, or destroy them… it is their choice."
Qian ng knew all of this. "They bought it with their own money… do they think money cos so easily or are they easily amused like monkeys?" she asked, looking at the two other people in the room with confusion.
"We can't comnt on this," Xiong Fen said firmly. When it ca to her babies, Qian ng was a mama bear. She would defend the product if she knew the other person was lying. This was why Xiong Fen had to make that statent. "Boss, you cannot… under any circumstance post a status about this."
"I know. But it is hard to watch," Qian ng whispered. Her head fell to her palm and she wondered if she would be able to handle this matter when she was emotional. Maybe she should. Maybe she wouldn't. "Okay, let's get to work quickly. We need all the information in a few hours and the draft of the statent, too. Understood?" she ordered.
"Yes, Boss. Working on it." Xiong Fen was out of the door in a flash.
"Any other news?" Qian ng asked, resigned.
"Yes, the status about our representative reaching out to Shi Yuhan is picking up pace and the video is being shared more often. The comnts are worth looking at, Boss."
Qian ng looked up from her hands. "Understood. You go out. I need so quiet to look over the comnts. Call a eting at five-thirty and we will process everything that has happened and toss around ideas to make the situation better."
Li Min nodded and went outside. Qian ng was just starting up her browser when the mail about the eting ca in. Li Min was as efficient as always.
[You did the right thing by posting these online. Make sure it reaches as many people as it can. Sharing.]
[You should tag the company also. This is ridiculous. You should post this until the CEO finds out about what is happening.]
[@lastcomnt, do you think the CEO doesn't know yet? They simply put out a shoddy 'we will look into this' and went back to threatening the artist. Shaless.]
[You did the right thing! Not only the employee who disrespected you, the managent, the security staff, and even the onlookers who didn't co for help should be reprimanded. Also, quite disturbing to see that the onlookers didn't have the decency to speak up.]
[20,000 shares and still counting. It proves that humanity still has so kind of existence among us. Thanks for everyone's overwhelming support. To clear dirty, you have to deal with it yourself. When the situation demands it, please don't be a spectator and have fun. Speak up against what is wrong.]
[Venus should be boycotted for such behavior towards their custors. The employees should be taught a lesson for their behaver. They are also common people like us! And I am surprised to see such reaction from the onlookers at the scene and the security who just saw her struggle and enjoyed it.]
After reading this, Qian ng understood that a load of custors not feeling in place was falling on her. She had expected it.
And then she turned to the other comnts and videos of people destroying Venus products. It really was picking up as a trend.
And then sothing popped up. The websites on which Venus sold products for more reachability stopped letting people review arbitrarily.
[Haha. Venus must be trying to control the damage. Just tried to leave a review on their product and saw this ssage.]
A screenshot was added.
[This brand is receiving a lot of dia attention due to recent events. We are monitoring all reviews closely, and so may be removed.]
Qian ng felt like banging her head on the wall.
She called up Li Min imdiately. "Ask the companies to not monitor reviews right now!" she exclaid the minute the phone was picked up. She explained the situation and Li Min understood imdiately.
"Sorry, Boss. I am getting the information through imdiately."
They hung up and Qian ng watched in horror as what she expected really did happen.
