Chapter 83 Weibo Confrontation
The withered lotus is stained with frost, and the evening sky in Yuncheng is cool.
The lights were on in the study room late at night. Having suffered from insomnia recently, Ye Zhenzhen held a fluffy toy in her arms and browsed the local Weibo on the computer.
She couldn't help laughing when she saw a joke. She flipped down and saw a collection of emotional quotes, and below them were many sad comments.
The night is a good time for rumination and reminiscence. Pain is like a beast that hides during the day and comes out at night, only opening its bloody mouth in the thick of night to gnaw at the fragile soul, peeling off the hair with its sharp claws and tearing the flesh with its sharp teeth.
Everyone was sad, and she didn't dare to continue watching. Wen Baijing gradually withdrew from her life, crisscrossing her heart like old tree roots.
"I'll share a little trick to save money: if you like a piece of clothing at a mall, buy the same piece online, then buy the clothing at the mall and return it to the store with the clothing you bought online. This way, you can buy genuine clothing at the mall counter at Taobao prices."
As she scrolled the mouse, she accidentally saw this Weibo post, and curiosity drove her to click on it.
"Blogger, is this feasible?"
"Is this true? Won't we be discovered?"
"Will the merchant report this to the police? It would be troublesome if there was a criminal record..."
...
The blogger replied proudly: "I have tried it in a certain store and it was a great success! Friendly reminder, in the same store, the amount should not exceed 3,000, otherwise you may receive a subpoena!"
His attitude was extremely arrogant and his tone was full of boasting.
“The blogger is awesome!”
“Let’s try it too!”
"Isn't this bad!"
...
"He uses his cleverness to gain unjust benefits, and instead of feeling ashamed, he feels proud of it! He himself has no morals, and instead teaches others to do bad things! He has no moral bottom line, no sense of propriety, and no sense of shame!"
Thinking of the customers who returned goods in this way during the day, Ye Zhenzhen was furious, and her typing hands kept shaking. After typing a lot, she angrily pressed the enter key.
Her speech caused a huge uproar and she was soon attacked by a crowd of people, whose words were full of insults and sarcasm.
"Why are you pretending to be a moral guardian!"
"People are sharing their lives. If you don't like it, you don't have to watch it! Why are you pretending to be so noble? You are showing off!"
"Maybe he is so upright online, but in real life he is a despicable villain!"
...
In the blink of an eye, the comments flooded in, scolding her to the point of being completely defeated. She kept typing on the keyboard, but she was no match for the crowd and was soon defeated.
The comment section of the personal Weibo account was instantly overwhelmed with insults and curses.
Worried about her privacy being exposed, she had no choice but to set her Weibo account to be visible only to herself. She was so angry that she registered a second account to continue arguing with netizens.
She already had insomnia and now she couldn't fall asleep, as if she had been given an injection of chicken blood.
The netizens’ insults became more and more extreme, ranging from disgusting to vicious curses.
She couldn't scold them, nor could she reason with them. She closed her computer in anger and sat in a chair for a long time to calm down.
I really wanted to mobilize my relatives and friends to join in the fight, but after thinking for a while I gave up.
She caught a glimpse of the colorful light on her left wrist, sparkling in the dark night. She raised her hand and gently stroked the lotus with her fingertips. The bright light was blocked, flowing from her fingertips to her extremities and then through her heart, and the fragmented light rolled around in her heart.
People suddenly became quiet.
Is Wen Baijing asleep at this time? What is he doing?
She stared at the phone and couldn't make the decision to make a call.
The winter nights in Yuncheng are extremely long and tormenting. When you lose someone you once had, your mentality can never go back to the time when you first had them.
In Imperial City, Wen, Bai, Jing and others were drinking.
He opened the cigarette box and found only two cigarettes left. He turned his head and lit them skillfully. The cigarette between his teeth was emitting smoke, which made him squint his eyes.
He raised his hand to loosen the tie around his neck, but his throat still felt blocked, so he unbuttoned two more buttons.
"These people are going too far!" Lu Yu held up his phone, his tone filled with anger, "Look, these netizens are shameless and ignorant! They take the words of those who are sneaky and cunning as their norm!"
As he said this, he held the phone in front of Wen Baijing.
The comments on Weibo about exchanging fakes for reals have aroused the attention and discussion of many netizens. Netizens who expressed righteous opinions were scolded by the bastards who refused to take advantage of the opportunity and fled in fear.
Faced with netizens in the comment section who were eager to try and imitate, Wen Baijing pinched the bridge of his nose.
"Has our company encountered such a situation?" Wen Baijing pushed open his phone and asked calmly, "Have you heard of similar reports recently?"
"Our company doesn't have any at the moment." General Assistant Xiao Zhu put down his glass and answered seriously, "From the exchanges with the mall and colleagues, I know that there are more and more cases of consumers exchanging fake goods for real ones. Online shopping has become popular, and many small manufacturers are making imitations. Some customers who are reluctant to spend money on genuine products buy fakes. There are very few people who take advantage of this loophole of exchanging fakes for real ones. I don't know who came up with this idea!"
Picking up the wine glass, Wen Baijing took a sip of the wine and tapped the glass with his fingers.
The sound is crisp and rhythmic.
Lu Yu stood up excitedly, full of anger: "The key is that these bad guys know that the amount cannot exceed three thousand. They know a little bit of the law and know that they will not be prosecuted if the amount is less than three thousand. They are also sure that the merchants are afraid of affecting their business and are unwilling to spend time and effort to sue them. Now they are blatantly sharing their experience of doing bad things online. If this continues and is left unchecked, netizens will follow suit, and small brands will have a hard time."
Lawyer Wu put down the microphone and sat down slowly. After thinking for a moment, "Returning and replacing goods is essentially the use of deception to defraud others of their property for the purpose of illegal possession, which meets the constituent elements of the crime of fraud. According to Article 266 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China, defrauding public or private property in a large amount constitutes the crime of fraud. The standard for filing a case is 3,000 yuan."
Then he took a sip of wine and added: "If the amount is less than 3,000 yuan, the buyer can also be held legally responsible through civil litigation."
Wen Baijing drank the wine in one gulp and said coldly, "These people will do it again if they succeed once. They won't commit crimes twice in the same store, but they will definitely repeat the same tricks in other brands. Contact other brands and merchants, collect the customer information of those who exchanged fakes for real ones, and wait until the total amount of fraud by these people reaches more than 10,000 before prosecuting them. To serve as a warning to others, only in this way can we prevent such incidents from happening again."
His expression was still extremely calm, but his words were full of ruthless indifference and determination.
Lu Yu was a little confused and asked, "What if the information left by the customer is not true?"
Several people fell silent.
Lawyer Wu pushed up his glasses and said, "If these businesses report the incident to the police and go to the police station to make statements and register their real personal information, according to Article 50 of the Criminal Procedure Law, we can apply to the public security organ for an inquiry or entrust a lawyer to handle the matter on our behalf."
Wen Baijing put out the cigarette butt between his fingertips into the ashtray with considerable force. Then he lazily lay down on the sofa, playing with his phone with his slender fingers.
"I wonder how many businesses in Yuncheng have reported the incident to the police..." Lu Yu said slowly.
The general assistant was looking at his phone with a somewhat excited voice, slapping his thighs and saying, "The sales department's work report mentioned that someone also exchanged fake products for real ones at the Wuyue store today, and the clerk called the police on the spot..."
"Wu Yue?"
Wen Baijing was lost in thought when he heard the words. He was stunned and his body was stiff for a few seconds. The phone slipped from his fingertips and hit his thigh with a blunt angle.
His whole leg went numb instantly, the tendons in his leg suddenly contracted, and the cramping pain made it impossible for him to straighten his leg.
Somehow, my heart shrank into a ball.
"Yes, it was the Wuyue store. The clerk who called the police was named Ye Zhenzhen..."
