Chapter 135

Nie Xin rushed out the door, sprinting back to the company.

When he arrived at Shengde Company, the scene was chaotic, with people everywhere answering calls, many cursing loudly, turning the entire company into a noisy market!

“Boss, Nie Xin is back!” someone shouted upon seeing Nie Xin enter, immediately causing everyone to turn their gaze towards him, their eyes filled with anger.

Shengde’s boss, Pan Chengfu, quickly approached him, his chubby face so dark it seemed water could drip from it.

“Boss, I…” Before Nie Xin could finish, he was met with a slap.

“Slap!”

Pan Chengfu’s slap landed heavily on Nie Xin’s face, knocking him to the ground and causing his mouth to bleed.

Dazed and confused by the slap, Nie Xin was even more bewildered.

He had no idea what had happened yet was greeted with a slap upon his return.

For a moment, the company fell silent, with employees watching Nie Xin as if they were watching a drama, some even wishing they could kick him too.

Pan Chengfu squatted down, grabbed Nie Xin by the collar with a furious face, and hissed, “Look at the mess you’ve made!”

“I told you to keep a low profile and be humble in your dealings. What the hell have you done?”

“Who the hell allowed you to be so arrogant with customers?!”

Wiping the blood from his mouth, Nie Xin, terrified, asked, “Boss, what exactly happened?!”

“Damn, what happened? Come with me, and I’ll show you!” Pan Chengfu grabbed his collar, pulled him up from the ground, and dragged him into the office.

He dragged Nie Xin to the desk and turned the computer screen towards him.

The screen displayed a viral post with nearly a hundred thousand comments.

“Take a good look at this post for yourself! Damn!” Pan Chengfu cursed, lighting a cigarette.

Nie Xin looked closely. The post was titled “Exposure! The dark side of the computer industry! My personal experience, please beware!”

The post was made by a netizen named Shuangmu, a computer enthusiast who wrote about purchasing various computer parts from Shengde Company, managed by a sales manager named Nie Xin, for building two computers.

These brand-new parts turned out to have numerous issues and were found to be defective or refurbished upon inspection. What followed was a lengthy accusation against Shengde Company and Nie Xin.

The post also included various screenshots, of parts, text messages, and QQ chat records.

In the latter part of the post, Nie Xin’s attitude was portrayed as arrogant, and Shengde Company was depicted as a blood-sucking capitalist entity.

Reading the comments, one could feel the anger of the netizens.

“This is outrageous! Such a disgusting company must be exposed!”

“Damn! Reading this post made my blood pressure rise!”

“Damn it! This Nie Xin is too despicable! Did he think he could get away with this in China?”

“I’m filing a complaint! I’m directly reporting this to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau!”

“Damn! No wonder the parts I bought from Shengde also broke so easily! So there was a trick!”

“I also bought parts from Shengde Company, and they broke quickly too! I suspected they were selling defective or refurbished parts!”

“What a disgrace to Guangxi companies, damn, just go bankrupt already!”

…

Every comment was filled with anger, their emotions fully ignited by the post.

The more Nie Xin read, the more shocked he became!

Because… he knew he had never said those things!

Absolutely not!

“Boss! This post is slander! Slander!”

“I never said those things, I never insulted customers! Absolutely not!”

“Boss, this post must have been maliciously fabricated!”

Nie Xin turned around quickly to explain to Pan Chengfu.

Pan Chengfu grabbed him by the collar, scolding, “Idiot, does it matter if the post is true or false now?”

“The post has spread all over the internet, Tianya, Guangxi forums, Sohu, it’s everywhere!”

“Do you think anyone will believe a clarification post from you now? Idiot!”

“Besides… if those things are found out, can the company escape?”

Nie Xin broke out in a cold sweat, feeling as if he had fallen into an abyss.

He knew the company did engage in selling defective and refurbished items, which were highly profitable and had been sold for two years, usually mixed with genuine products and occasionally sold in bulk to lower-level distributors.

Although there were occasional issues, they were generally contained. Most individual buyers of defective parts would blame their luck, as they were not familiar with computers and usually assumed they were just unlucky.

Over the years, Shengde Company had sold many defective parts. If those were dug up, it would be a disaster.

“Nie Xin, tell me, who the hell did you offend? It must be someone you offended who wants to take you down!”

“Damn it, now the company is involved too!”

Pan Chengfu, an experienced businessman, found the situation odd, sensing someone was stirring things up from behind.

From the post’s content, it was clear the author knew Nie Xin and was mainly accusing him, indicating a grudge between them.

If Nie Xin hadn’t offended the person, would they resort to such terrifying means to target him?

“Offended someone?” Nie Xin paused, a figure unconsciously surfacing in his mind.

Yi Feng!!

Suddenly, a female secretary burst into the room, anxiously shouting, “Boss, it’s bad! The Industrial and Commercial Bureau and the Tax Bureau are here!”

Pan Chengfu’s face turned utterly dark in an instant!
