Chapter 1832: Bought at the Counter?
Nonetheless, Gu Ning and her friends didn’t feel tired. To be specific, Gu Ning and Baili Zongxue were not tired at all. They weren’t ordinary people after all, and they were now training Song Miaoge in turns. Therefore, Gu Ning and Baili Zongxue could also rest in shifts.
Song Miaoge was only a mortal, and she also needed to practice all the time, so she felt more tired. However, in order to defeat Ji Wenna, no matter how tiring it was, Song Miaoge had to persist.
Precisely because of Song Miaoge’s persistence, in just a few days, she had clearly made a lot of progress, making her feel more confident.
Although Gu Ning had already told her that she would definitely make great progress and be able to defeat Ji Wenna after receiving her training for a month and she also trusted Gu Ning, she still felt uneasy before she really made progress.
Right now, she had made considerable progress, so she became more confident.
In order to thank Gu Ning and Baili Zongxue for their training, Song Miaoge was buying their meals these days.
Although Gu Ning declined at first, Song Miaoge insisted. If they wouldn’t allow her to do that, she would feel ashamed, so Gu Ning agreed.
Anyway, what they had eaten these few days was quite simple. For three people, it cost less than one hundred yuan for a meal.
…
On this day, there was a drama about the sunscreen from Kouzi. It was the fourth day after Kouzi sunscreen was out of stock.
Because of the short-term absence of Kouzi sunscreen, unqualified manufacturers took advantage of it. In that case, those who bought fakes would find it useless.
Some people thought that Kouzi sunscreen wasn’t as useful as it was said. They went to ask those who believed it was effective later, then figured out that they had bought fakes.
Some knew that it was those unqualified manufacturers who took the opportunity to make money by selling fakes, while some believed that Kouzi itself was selling fakes, so they went to criticize Kouzi on Weibo.
Because Kouzi had some fame, the drama attracted a lot of attention.
People who didn’t know the truth began to criticize Kouzi as well.
“Doesn’t Kouzi have any sense of guilt? It sells fakes and deceives its consumers.”
“Isn’t everyone saying that the products of Kouzi are all very good? It’s shit! It’s not good at all. It’s useless.”
“I’m not saying that Kouzi sells only fake products. After all, some people use it and it is effective, but it’s disgusting that it’s selling fakes along with the genuine ones.”
“…”
Countless comments were criticizing Kouzi.
Luckily, Kouzi had its own loyal fans, so naturally they defended it without delay. Those students who used Kouzi sunscreen and believed it was effective also support it.
“A bunch of idiots. Did you buy the fakes at the counter or from the official website? If not, stop attacking it. It’s really stupid. Aren’t you college students? Don’t embarrass us, alright?”
“Right! I believe you idiots must have bought it from those who came to the school to sell it. The counters and the official website were out of stock at that time, but those people had so many goods. They must be fake. Couldn’t you understand that?”
“Right, it is said that all major schools have a similar situation. Obviously, they saw that Kouzi sunscreen became popular, so they took the opportunity to make a fortune.”
“Fakes are everywhere now. You should learn to be smart. You can’t blame other people for the mistake you made by yourself. There are fakes of almost every brand. The fakes couldn’t be produced by qualified manufacturers.”
“Aren’t you college students? Do you think Kouzi will ruin its own brand by selling fakes?”
“If other brands are also useless. Why don’t you criticize them? Why do you have to attack just Kouzi? Don’t tell me that everyone is saying that Kouzi is effective. Every brand has its loyal consumers, but no brand can be liked by every consumer.”
“…”
Their argument made some of the people who criticized Kouzi silent, because their explanations were reasonable. However, not every Internet user had reason. Even if Kouzi had gained a lot of support from its loyal consumers, many Internet users still wouldn’t stop attacking it. As a result, people wouldn’t stop arguing about it on Weibo, but there were more positive comments than negative ones.
Gu Ning didn’t know about the drama on the Internet until it attracted a lot of attention. After it happened, Ning Changkai immediately sent someone to investigate it. Although Ning Changkai had great ability and was able to investigate it, it still took time. It was impossible for him to conduct a comprehensive investigation quickly.
Therefore, Gu Ning directly asked K to do it. Regarding science and technology, it was better for K to deal with it, and it would be faster and more comprehensive.
After learning this drama, Song Miaoge and Baili Zongxue both expressed their urge to beat the fraudster for the injustice. However, they also knew that Gu Ning was able to settle it, so they didn’t have to worry too much.
At dinner in the afternoon, Gao Shiyan and Lu Xiaoxiao happened to be at the table next to them, and they happened to be discussing Kouzi sunscreen as well.
“Kouzi isn’t as good as they say at all. It’s completely useless.”
“Right, Kouzi even sells fakes and deceives its consumers. Such a company should go bankrupt!”
Since Song Miaoge and Gu Ning were next to them, they naturally heard their discussion.
As for their complaint, Gu Ning didn’t think there was anything wrong with it, but she was displeased once they said they wished Kouzi would go bankrupt.
Before Gu Ning could say anything, Song Miaoge blushed and retorted, “You bought a fake by yourself. You can’t blame Kouzi for it. There are a lot of people who believe it’s useful!”
“I didn’t say that Kouzi sells only fakes. However, it’s definitely selling fake and genuine products at the same time,” Gao Shiyan retorted. Although she was afraid of Song Miaoge and Gu Ning, it didn’t mean that she would not dare to argue with them. She simply avoided having serious conflict with them.
“Ridiculous, will you sell fakes to ruin your own reputation? Do you think such a big company is a fool? Are you sure you bought it at a counter or from the official website?” Song Miaoge questioned.
Hearing that, Gao Shiyan and Lu Xiaoxiao panicked a little, because they didn’t buy it at the counter or from the official website, but from the salesman who came to their school to sell it.
Anyway, because of that, Gao Shiyan was even more reluctant to admit that she bought it from a salesperson. She hated to see Song Miaoge’s proud look, so she retorted, “Of course I bought it at the counter.”
“Really? Which shopping mall?” Song Miaoge asked.
“…”
Gao Shiyan didn’t know what to say all of a sudden. She didn’t buy it at the counter after all, so she didn’t know which shopping mall it should be! In an instant, she became irritated and said, “It’s none of your business! Mind you own business please!”
After that, she directly got up and left. It was obvious that she escaped with a guilty conscience.
Song Miaoge didn’t say anything, but looked very disdainful.
