On this day, Xue Chen walked into the store as usual and said hello to Liu Gan.
When Liu Gan saw Xue Chen, he hesitated and said, "Xue Chen, have you browsed the Haicheng Life Forum online recently?"
"No, what's wrong?" Xue Chen asked in confusion.
"See for yourself." Liu Gan came to the computers in the Daxing store and opened a web page.
Xue Chen sat in front of the computer. After just a few glances, his expression turned ugly.
What he was looking at was a well-known local forum in Haicheng City, called Haicheng Life, which covered a wide range of content. Liu Gan opened this forum's classification of antiques and toys, and Xue Chen occasionally visited it on weekdays. Take a casual look.
At the very top of the entire page, there was a post in bright red font, which was about the Fuji auction incident.
90% of the content in the post is true, and only 10% is false, but that 10% is the most important part!
The post stated that the appearance of counterfeit goods at Fuji Auction was an accident. The main reason was that the company hired a temporary appraiser whose appraisal skills were too poor, leading to errors. At the end of the article, Fuji Auction Company stated that in the future Employers will strictly control the situation to ensure that similar mistakes will not occur again.
The most important thing is that the temporarily hired auctioneer mentioned in the article is none other than Xue Chen!
In addition, he also posted several pictures, which were clearly the contracts he signed when he was hired as a technical consultant for the Fuji Auction Branch, and his name was clearly pictured.
"Damn it, Fuji Auction is so shameless. It's obviously your own fault, but you actually poured dirty water on me." After reading this post, Xue Chen slammed the mouse heavily in anger.
Liu Gandao: "Not only in this forum, but also in several other forums, similar posts have appeared, and the replies to the posts are obviously trolls. They must be Internet PR launched by Fuji Auction, and they plan to use this method to Eliminate the negative impact of this time and put all the responsibility on you."
Xue Chen was very angry. Fuji Auction wanted to clean himself up, but he couldn't and didn't want to do anything about it. But if dirty water was poured on him, he definitely couldn't sit idly by and ignore it!
He immediately logged into his forum account, thought for a while, and then posted a post under his real name, blaming Fuji Auction for the problems at the auction and making it clear.
But what made Xue Chen so angry that he almost smashed his computer was that the post was deleted less than half a minute after it was posted. When he posted again, he found that his forum account had been banned and he was not allowed to speak!
"That's too much!"
Xue Chen sat in front of the computer, squinting his eyes, pursed his lips, and furrowed his brows. He felt like he had been slandered and had no way to defend himself. It was too frustrating and uncomfortable.
What made Xue Chen even more annoyed was that the pinned post was just the beginning. Soon, a large number of posts about him appeared on the forum, and without exception, they were all aimed at him.
The title of one of the posts was "Haicheng City Genius Appraiser? You have a false reputation." The content of the post was derived from the pinned post, insisting that Xue Chen's reputation was all bragging and there was no real material at all.
Some posts also mentioned the Haicheng Street Antique Appreciation Club where Xue Chen became famous in his first battle, and revealed that there was a shady secret behind the appreciation, pointing out that there was something wrong with Xue Chen's ranking first.
There are five or six similar posts, the number of replies is very high, and they always stay on the homepage.
During this period, there were also replies questioning the authenticity of the post, arguing that it was all speculation and lacked basis. However, such replies would disappear within five minutes, and the account was quickly banned and was not allowed to speak.
For a time, the public opinion on the Internet was one-sided, and Xue Chen, the appraiser in name only, had suffered reputational damage due to an appraisal error, and Fuji Auction had completely become a victim.
Some people even criticized Xue Chen and asked him to apologize to Fuji Auction.
Xue Chen sat in front of the computer with a sullen face, looking at the posts on the online forum, his mind racing.
Just when he was thinking about how to solve it, Fatty Wang called.
"Old Xue, this is terrible. Two reporters just came to the store and said they wanted to interview you about the appraisal error that caused the reputation of Fuji Auction to be damaged. As soon as they left, I called you. I suspect
They will go to Daxing to find you." Wang Dong said anxiously.
"reporter?"
A layer of frost appeared on Xue Chen's face, "It seems that he not only plans to post on the Internet, but also wants to make the matter bigger and make me completely stink? This can be used to clean up the mistakes of Fuji Auction, and even win
Sympathy, you moved so quickly and so sinisterly."
Naturally, he cannot accept interviews from reporters. He can think of it with his buttocks. These reporters must be unscrupulous reporters bribed by the public relations of Galaxy Industries and Fuji Auction. Even if he accepts interviews and tells the truth, there will definitely be some trouble in reporting it.
It seems that even if I have a hundred mouths, I can't explain clearly.
So, after talking to Liu Gan, he immediately walked out of Daxing and drove away.
Less than ten minutes after he left, a thin reporter wearing glasses, a camera around his neck, and a gray vest walked into Daxing step by step.
The posts on the forum soon had an effect. As soon as Xue Chen got home, he started to receive calls from some friends in the antique circle. The first person to call was Xiao Kun, the owner of Longhao 4S store.
Xiao Kun first exchanged greetings and vaguely mentioned the online forum. Xue Chen briefly talked about the fact that he had been wrongly accused.
"Brother Xue, when I saw the post, I knew that things were definitely not what was said above. I believe you!" Xiao Kun said calmly.
"Thank you." Xue Chen said.
In just one day, he answered seven or eight calls in a row, all related to the forum. His mouth was dry when he explained, and in the end he didn't explain at all.
He can explain it to one person or ten people, but it is impossible to explain it to everyone, and not everyone chooses to believe him. There must be some people who believe in their hearts that it is impossible for a large international company from Hong Kong to make such a low-level mistake.
It was his fault as a temporary worker.
Shen Wanjun heard about this and called immediately.
Shen Wanjun was very angry. On the one hand, Xue Chen had a close relationship with him and he had always regarded him as his nephew. On the other hand, Xue Chen was the living sign of Daxing Pawn Shop. Once Xue Chen's reputation was ruined, then
The business of Daxing Pawn Shop will also be severely affected!
"Xue Chen, I understand this matter, and I will find a way to help you. Don't get angry."
"Uncle Shen, don't worry, I won't be knocked down so easily. That will only make the people at Fuji Auction proud. I will definitely find a way to fight them and won't let them succeed!" Xue Chen sat on the sofa.
, said calmly.
After hanging up the phone, Xue Chen thought quietly for two hours, then called Lin Xirong and told her about the counterfeit items at Fuji Auction and the fact that he had been splashed with dirt.
After hearing this, Lin Xirong also shouted angrily: "Fuji Auction actually did this and made you take the blame. This is so shameless."
"Since they are unreasonable, I can't just swallow this breath, so I want to expose this matter through Haicheng Evening News."
"Okay, Xue Chen, I'll help you with this matter. Now tell me the whole story in detail. I'll write it down and write another report." Lin Xirong readily agreed.
Xue Chen told the general story of what happened, and Lin Xirong told him before hanging up the phone that if nothing unexpected happened, the report would be published in Haicheng Evening News tomorrow.
At noon the next day, Lin Xirong asked Xue Chen to meet at a teahouse.
When Xue Chen arrived, Lin Xirong was already sitting in the single room.
After sitting down, Xue Chen saw Lin Xirong push up her glasses and hesitate to speak. There was a hint of embarrassment in her expression, and she guessed: "Is there something wrong with what was announced?"
Lin Xirong lowered her head slightly, looked at the tea cup in front of her, and said: "I finished writing the article last night and sent it for review early this morning. However, the editor told me that it failed and could not be published. I went to see President Pi personally.
, President Pi also firmly disagrees. So..."
After listening to Lin Xirong's words, Xue Chen's first reaction was that he was speechless. Then, after a moment of thought, he thought of Galaxy Industrial. Being able to control the media's public opinion is definitely not something that Fuji Auction, who has just arrived in Haicheng, can do. It must be Galaxy Industrial
The reason. Galaxy Industrial invested in Fuji Auction Branch, how could it be possible to watch this branch collapse?
He even felt that Xu Ming was the mastermind behind posting on the forum to clear his name and throw dirty water on him, because he could shirk responsibility without mentioning his name when posting, which was natural.
In order to deal with him.
"Reporter Lin, it doesn't matter, but I still want to thank you." Xue Chen said.
"Xue Chen, don't be discouraged, I will think of other ways." Lin Xirong raised her head and advised softly.
"No need, Galaxy Industrial must have already taken care of all the media. It's impossible to publish similar articles. It's useless." Xue Chen frowned and said.
In the final analysis, he was just an appraiser with some reputation in Haicheng City. Although he had conflicts with Xu Ming on weekdays, he did not suffer because Xu Ming did not use the resources of Galaxy Industrial.
But this time, in order to take care of the Fuji Auction Branch, Galaxy Industrial must have done everything possible, leaving him no place to cry out for justice.
He intends to go to court to sue Fuji Auction for defamation and falsely accusing him, but will it work? I'm afraid the end will be the same as publishing an article in a newspaper forum, which will be a wall and a wasted effort.
However, if he was asked to just swallow this bad breath, he would never agree!
As if feeling Xue Chen's frustration and helplessness, Lin Xirong suddenly stretched out her soft little hand, pressed it on Xue Chen's clenched fist on the table, and said firmly: "Xue Chen, you don't have to be sad, Galaxy Industrial
Can we still cover the sky in Yunzhou Province with just one hand? There will be a way."
"Huh?" Xue Chen was a little surprised that Lin Xirong would support him like this, and couldn't help but raise his head.
Seeing Xue Chen looking at her, Lin Xirong quickly retracted her hand, and with a slightly unnatural expression, she smoothed the hair around her ears, stood up and said, "I'm going back first, you wait for my news." (To be continued)
