“This is the clip.” The assistant handed his cell phone to Pingtai, “The netizens are too fast. ‘Rural Distant’ is still livestreaming, and some netizens recorded the video and posted this clip. Now everyone can see that our outdoor shoes are extremely waterproof and can be washed with water if they get dirty. Within ten minutes, all the outdoor shoes in the flagship store were taken off the shelves. Up until now, the outdoor shoes inventory of all the physical stores across the country has been decreasing. Some of the physical stores have no stock and are in the midst of emergency deployment, but there aren’t many that can be deployed.”

“Awesome!” Pingtai’s eyes lit up in excitement, and he was about to jump up.

However, just as his butt left the chair, he sat back down.

He wiped his face and regained his calm. He pretended to say, “Jiang Xun has always been good at selling goods. It’s not the first time we know about it. Can’t you be more steady?”

The corner of the assistant’s mouth twitched, and he muttered, “I haven’t seen any other endorsers wear a new model for ten minutes before the goods were sold out. Even if you get excited about it, I won’t laugh at you.”

Pingtai: “…”

The sales had improved recently, and even the assistant had become particularly bold.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“But that’s not the only thing that makes me happy.” The assistant took his phone back from Pingtai’s hand, tapped it a few times, and opened another video on Weibo for Pingtai to watch. “In today’s program, Yu Mingshu also wore Gushi’s shoes. However, after finishing the work and washing the shoes, the shoes were deformed. Now, netizens say that the quality of Gushi’s shoes are not good, and many who bought them returned them. Those who placed orders but the orders have not been shipped yet also returned them. The return rate of Gushi’s flagship store has soared, and even the store’s rating has dropped to only two stars.”

“Huh?” This time, Pingtai could no longer pretend. He smiled gloatingly and used his phone to search for Gushi’s flagship store on Chengbao. As expected, he saw that the rating had dropped, and there were many comments saying that the product was not good.

Pingtai could not help but laugh as he looked at Gushi’s dismal data.

“Ahem!” Pingtai returned to his steady leadership style. “Our positioning is different from Gushi’s. We don’t have any competitive relationship. It’s just that we happened to be put together with Gushi by the netizens these few times. Don’t pay too much attention to brands that don’t have much interaction with us in the future!”

The assistant held the phone and ridiculed, “Manager, when you say this, can you put away the gloating smile on your face first?”

“Go, go, go!” Pingtai bared his teeth and waved his hand, “Go out and do your work!”

The assistant left while mumbling. Although Pingtai couldn’t hear what he was saying, he was definitely ridiculing him.

Pingtai also took his phone and went to the office of his boss, Tu Yiming, to share the good news with him.

Gushi had been in the gutter recently, but before that, it had always been a mid-to high-end sports shoe brand.

Now, Tupao was being compared to Gushi. This was Tupao’s improvement!

If Tupao was happy, it wouldn’t be so wonderful for the Gu Corporation.

“What’s wrong with this Jiang Xun!” Gu Qinghui was furious in the meeting room. “She sold her goods. It’s her business to increase the sales of Tupao. Why must the misfortune fall on us every time?”

If it was true that Jiang Xun did not say anything bad about Gushi from the beginning to the end, she should be only focusing on selling for Tupao.

But why did Gushi become the control group every time?

Qinghui could not understand it either. Every time something happened to Gushi, it was actually not directly related to Jiang Xun, but it was all because of Jiang Xun.

There was simply no way to reason with her!

“And that Yu Mingshu!” Qinghui was so angry that his fingertips fiercely tapped out a “Bang Bang” sound on the table. “She’s a supermodel after all. She should be a professional in how to display the excellence of the product. Could it be that she didn’t know about the various shoes of our brand in advance?”

“The pair she’s wearing can’t touch water in the first place. If it touches water, it will definitely change shape. Since she’s going to work in the fields, how can she wear that pair of shoes? Since she’s wearing it, how can she flush it with water!” Qinghui was furious. “She’s endorsing for us, but she doesn’t even know about the products she’s endorsing. How can she not be embarrassed!”

“Our public relations department is already writing a clarification draft. It will be sent out immediately,” said the manager of the public relations department.

“The Ministry of Commerce should contact Yu Mingshu’s agent,” said Qinghui. “This time, it’s all because of Yu Mingshu’s mistake that caused Gushi’s reputation to suffer. Sales have plummeted, so don’t expect us to give them the rest of the endorsement fee in full. Also, I remember that the contract states that there is a three-month probation period for the endorsement, right?”
