[Clear Sky Ming is a terrible skincare product!]
[The creator of this kind of product deserves to go bankrupt! Chen Ming should have stayed in the energy industry and should not have tried to meddle in the beauty industry. Just look at what happened! His product is problematic!]
[Boycott low-quality cosmetics. Iâll start with me!]
[Thank god my skincare product hasnât arrived yet. If the delivery had not been delayed, my skin would have suffered!]
[Everyone, you have to kick Chen Ming out of the beauty and skincare industry. We canât let a person like him thrive! Protect our consumer rights!]
[â¦]
The popularity that the product had accumulated in the past had now all backfired.
Chen Ming narrowed his eyes dangerously when he saw the comments online.
Who was the one who deliberately plotted to harm him?
He had to have stolen a piece of someoneâs pie in the skincare and beauty industry.
As Chen Ming was pondering this matter, Qin Qing and Wang Linlin also noticed what was going on. They quickly went to Chen Mingâs office to discuss countermeasures.
âSomeone is messing with us,â Qin Qing said bluntly, âTheyâre jealous of our success despite being a newcomer in the industry, which is why they framed us!â
âThatâs right. Whoever uses this skincare product will know how effective it is. Iâve been using it for so long, yet my face and skin is perfectly fine,â Wang Linlin also chimed in.
Their faces were filled with anger and they were extremely dissatisfied with the person who was causing trouble behind their backs.
In comparison, Chen Ming was much calmer.
After they were done venting their anger, Chen Ming curled his lips and said, âIâll join the show again and prove my innocence.â
After saying that, he deliberately paused before continuing, âDo you still have the records of your daily use of the skincare product? This is crucial evidence.â
As he spoke, Chen Mingâs expression was calm and determined.
Seeing this, Qin Qing and Wang Linlin looked at each other. They had a sneaking suspicion that Chen Ming had a trump card and could resolve this problem.
In that caseâ¦
Whoever had spread those rumors would be in trouble!
â¦
After contacting the live broadcast program he was on last time, the other party agreed to have him on the show.
After all, which show did not want to gain popularity?
Chen Mingâs incident was a hot topic now, and netizens were all eager and anxious to know the truth. Naturally, this would cause the showâs ratings to skyrocket!
With this thought in mind, the showâs team quickly announced the list of guests after confirming their collaboration with Chen Ming.
Among them, Chen Ming was their big ticket guest.
This naturally led to a discussion.
[Chen Ming? Are they inviting him to show off his skincare product?]
[Chen Ming still hasnât given the public an answer, yet heâs trying to gain popularity on the show? Ridiculous.]
[Is there a possibility that Chen Ming is trying to resolve this problem on the show?]
[I agree. Brothers, you donât have to be so malicious. Chen Ming might have been slandered. Youâre so sure that Chen Mingâs skincare products are bad. Are you part of the troll army?]
[Impossible! Donât call me that. In my opinion, youâre the ones who have been bought over by Chen Ming. Why are you speaking up for Chen Ming now?]
[F*ck, canât we speak up for Chen Ming? After all, everyone has different opinions. I will support him! I donât think his skincare product has problems!]
[â¦]
Online, the netizens had mixed opinions.
Some of the smart netizens noticed that something was amiss. When they saw that the other party was deliberately smearing Chen Mingâs name, they immediately spoke up.
However, they would always be pushed back by sheer numbers. In the end, they could only wait for the show to start to witness how Chen Ming would prove his innocence.
The live broadcast was scheduled to start at 8pm.
Chen Ming was still taking it easy while he was tidying up his hair and attire backstage.
A staff member who was surfing the internet was dumbfounded.
Chen Ming did not look like he was someone who was facing a storm.
Who would have thought that he would be so calm and collected, even a little leisurely.
Hence, while the confused backstage staff looked on, Chen Ming calmly completed his preparations and went on stage.
This was Chen Mingâs second time on the show, so he was able to adapt to the audience and the hostâs energy much better than the last time. As the host introduced him, he greeted the audience.
âHello, everyone. Iâm Chen Ming.â
He gave a simple self-introduction, yet it was met with heckling and insults.
Chen Ming could even clearly hear the words âget outâ, âleave the showâ and âget out of the beauty industryâ from the stage.
However, he did not mind.
âMr. Chen Ming, do you have anything to say about this rotten face incident?â
As expected, as soon as the show started, they got right down to the main topic at hand in order to boost the showâs popularity.
This was within Chen Mingâs expectations.
âOf course I have something to say about it,â Chen Ming looked up and said with a smile, âThis time, I have specially invited the official testing agency to test my skincare products in front of the public!â
He hit the nail on the head.
As soon as these words were spoken, the originally noisy atmosphere welcomed a brief period of silence.
Despite the pin-drop silence, Chen Ming did not panic or become flustered. He simply followed the plan and invited the staff from the official testing agency to come on stage.
The staff from the official testing agency first presented their work certifications to the audience. Then, they started to test the composition of the skincare product in front of everyone.
âReally? An on-site test?â
âChen Ming is fighting back!â
ââ¦â
âShh, the results are out!â
âThis⦠How is this possible? The ingredients in the product are flawless⦠So those negative effects were false??â
âThatâs impossible. Were the staff from the official testing agency bribed?â
âI told you to do your research, but you just didnât listen! The staff from this testing agency are impartial. Just like Jiuâs reviews, they wonât fake anything.â
âI donât care. I donât believe it! Chen Mingâs skincare product is trashâ¦â
Chen Ming took out all the certification documents related to the skincare product, and then displayed the official seals stamped on them to the public.
This action caused an uproar.
After Qin Qing and Wang Linlin looked at each other, they also appeared on-stage.
âEveryone, this is a video recording of us using our own skincare product.â
Qin Qing took the lead in introducing the next section.
âItâs all real. After you all see it, you will probably change your opinion on our skincare product,â Wang Linlin followed up.
After they finished speaking, the big screen began to show their daily recordings while using the skincare product.
There were timestamps on the footage, so even if the onlookers wanted to nitpick, it was impossible. They were forced to remain silent.
Now, the answer to whether Chen Mingâs skincare product had negative effects on oneâs face was truly revealed to the public.
Public opinion changed.
Then, while the netizens were digesting the news, Chen Ming, who had been silent until now, suddenly raised his microphone.
He slowly walked over to the center of the stage.
In an instant, all of the lights and cameras were focused on Chen Ming.
He became the focus of everyoneâs attention.
âEveryone, I believe everyone has come to their own conclusion,â Chen Ming said slowly, âThe results of the testing of my skincare product are clear. However, I still have one more thing to announceâ¦â
Chen Ming deliberately paused and looked at the audience around him.
His tone of voice was cold, as he carefully enunciated his next words slowly.
âThere is a conspiracy behind this incident. As such, in order to protect my personal interests, Iâve decidedâ¦â
âTo publicly sue the person or organization who started the rumors!â
That one sentence was powerful and resonating.
