Qiao Yin responded with a laugh, but she couldn’t shake the feeling that all the rumors Dongfang Mu sparked about himself were part of his strategy.
On one hand, he carries the image of a playboy, while on the other hand, he secretly recruits talented people to build up his power. It’s strange.
Isn’t he the sole heir of the Dongfang family? Why would he need to hide his true potential?
When in the hospital last time, he mentioned that his father was pressuring him to take over the corporation, it was clear his father valued him highly.
So, where is the problem exactly?
Unable to find an answer, Qiao Yin didn’t overthink it. After all, she was just an employee, and the affairs of her boss’s family didn’t concern her. She just needed to focus on her work.
The auction officially began at half-past seven.
Item after item was sold under the enthusiastic commentary of the auctioneer. The prices of auction items kept rising, and the heat of the live broadcast room was also intensifying.
Those who couldn’t attend the auction could purchase their preferred items through the live-streaming; they could also donate directly. The total funds raised would be displayed and then donated to disadvantaged children in full.
At the beginning of the broadcast, all the instant comments were positive, thanking Lu Yanxi, praising her beauty and kindness, and complimenting the celebrities who participated in the auction for their benevolence.
However, after a while, some discordant voices started appearing in the instant comments.
“I heard the employees at this company are incredibly malicious, always resorting to verbal abuse, and cursing at the slightest provocation. So rude!”
“Yeah, I heard about it too. They curse so wickedly that it drove someone to suicide!”
“Can such employees not be fired?”
“Who knows, the boss might be just as malicious, hence the preference for hiring like-minded personnel. Birds of a feather flock together.”
“Then this charity auction must be a scam too, right? Stop bidding, don’t buy anything! This is a treacherous auction house!”
“The bidding totals have reached ten million already. Wouldn’t the boss pretend to donate this but pocket it instead?”
“Demanding this live broadcast be shut down. This company must be shut down!”
“Strongly demanding to fire the malicious employee!”
“Dismiss her! Dismiss her! Dismiss her!”
“Shut them down! Shut them down! Shut them down!”
Watching the instant comments flooding the live-stream, Lu Yanxi felt panic welling up inside her. “Second Sister-in-law, what do we do? It seems like someone is deliberately creating a negative vibe!”
It wasn’t ‘seems to be’. It most definitely was.
The ones capable of stirring this chaos were either Madam Lu or Lan Yuyi.
Her heart turned icy cold, yet Qiao Yin maintained her composure, “These are likely internet trolls, don’t panic. Start by muting those who are stirring up controversy.”
However, the colleague responsible for the live broadcast seemed more panicked, “Boss, my mobile phone is out of control. No matter what I press, there’s no response. Should we shut off the phone?”
Sweat was now beading on Lu Yanxi’s forehead, “That won’t work, we can’t shut it off. If we do, the live broadcast will be interrupted. People might then think we’re guilty, making it even harder for us to clarify our situation.”
“We’ll start it up quickly, the live broadcast will only be interrupted for a few minutes. That should be fine.”
Lu Yanxi saw no other choice, “Alright, give it a try.”
However, regardless of how they pressed the power button, there was no response from the phone. The live broadcast continued, and the trolls persisted with their malicious comments about the company.
“Boss, it seems like our phone has been hacked! We can’t operate it at all! And it seems like our other phones have issues too. What shall we do? Their comments are growing more out of control, attacking our auction house relentlessly. This has serious implications on our reputation! If this continues, no one will dare to patronize our auction house anymore!”
The charitable auction was a non-profit event for the auction house. They made no money from it; in fact, they even bore some of the costs, all for the sake of building a good reputation.
If they let these internet trolls tarnish the company’s image, the consequences would be dire.
Having run out of options, Lu Yanxi took out her phone to call Lu Lingche, hoping for his help.
However, Lu Lingche seemed to be busy with something. After calling him twice without an answer, she was on the verge of tears..
