Meng Lan ignored Chen Nan.
She signaled to her companion to turn on the camera.
Then she began the interview.
In her eyes.
Chen Nan was just a nobody.
Wearing clothes that were out of style ten years ago, using a phone that cost two thousand yuan.
She wouldn't even glance at such a person if she met them on the street.
Let alone him bragging that his live stream had over 100,000 viewers.
Any normal person wouldn't believe such a claim.
She was also unaware of the storm her recent remarks had caused online.
The sentence, "Put away your two-thousand-yuan broken phone."
This remark was like igniting a fuse.
After all.
Not everyone could afford a phone worth over ten thousand yuan.
For many working-class people, a two-thousand-yuan phone was equivalent to half a month's income.
It wasn't cheap.
It shouldn't be criticized.
And then there was the phrase, "We are a legitimate television station, why would we fear you?"
It instantly gave off a sense of superiority.
Immediately stirring up waves of罵聲.
"Which TV station is this woman from? Why is she so arrogant?"
"Yeah, so what if I use a two-thousand-yuan phone? I worked hard to earn the money to buy it, why should she look down on me?"
"I hope someone can dig up this woman's information."
"They are a legitimate TV station, they don't fear us little people!"
------
"This woman calls us poor ghosts, and I have nothing to say. But... is Brother Gou a poor ghost? I find this baffling."
"Exactly! How could she look down on Brother Gou just because he dresses ordinarily and uses a two-thousand-yuan phone?"
"I remember last year someone calculated Brother Gou's online spending, it reached over ten billion last year. That's real money, cold hard cash. This is definitely a true magnate!"
"You can't say that. Perhaps Brother Gou spent over ten billion online in recent years, but it's still not as much as this reporter earns. If I'm not mistaken, she could earn hundreds of millions in one go."
"That's a valid point. Although Brother Gou's spending over the years has been as high as over ten billion, it might not be as much as this reporter earns in one night."
"To sum it up, I find it hilarious that she mocks Brother Gou as a poor ghost. If this woman knew Brother Gou's identity, she'd probably wet herself from fear!"
"After all is said and done, I still hope someone can dig up this woman's information so I can see why she's so arrogant!"
The online sentiment intensified.
To the point where many people began searching for Meng Lan's information.
Soon.
Meng Lan's information was dug up.
Not only her birth date.
Even her workplace was exposed.
And regarding this.
The person involved was unaware.
She was interviewing He Shuqin: "Miss He, since you promised Mr. Liu that you would take care of his beloved bird, why did an accident occur?"
"Although Mr. Liu said you are willing to pay him one million yuan in compensation."
"But we all know that money often cannot make up for emotional emptiness."
"Often, what we need is companionship."
"And now, because of your negligence."
"Mr. Liu has lost a source of solace that was very dear to him."
"Besides compensating him for his loss."
"Shouldn't you also publicly apologize to him?"
He Shuqin had never experienced such a situation, her face turned pale, and her small body trembled.
At this moment.
Chen Nan stood in front of her frail body and said, "Even if an apology is needed, she only needs to apologize to the person surnamed Liu, why publicly apologize?"
"Did she owe anything to anyone else?"
"Since she didn't, why should she apologize to others?"
"And!"
"That cockatiel is not dead."
"It's just asleep and will wake up soon."
"Are you all very disappointed to hear me say that?"
Meng Lan's face was filled with coldness. She didn't expect Chen Nan to be so persistent. She said impatiently, "Since you say the cockatiel is still alive, why don't you bring it out for everyone to see!"
Liu Jun sneered repeatedly: "Yes, the cause of this incident was that cockatiel. Bring it out!"
"As long as it's alive and well, I will apologize to Miss He now."
Although Meng Yunyang did not speak.
He crossed his arms.
A playful smile appeared on his face.
They had received news last night.
That the cockatiel had died.
So.
They had no intention of believing Chen Nan.
Although He Shuqin was touched by Chen Nan standing in front of her.
However.
Upon hearing his words.
She immediately became anxious.
It was just an apology.
It wasn't a big deal.
But he, instead, said the cockatiel was still alive.
Wasn't this pouring fuel on the fire?
"Alright, you all wait, I'll go get that cockatiel now!" Chen Nan turned and entered the shop. After a moment, he walked out holding the stiff, lifeless cockatiel.
Upon seeing this, Liu Jun wailed loudly: "My son, you died so tragically!"
However, it was like thunder without rain.
Not only that.
He even felt like laughing a little.
Because Meng Yunyang's agreement with him was simple.
As long as Bai Niao Ju could be brought down.
He would be paid an extra five million yuan as a bonus.
In other words.
This cockatiel, on the verge of death, could be worth six million yuan under his manipulation.
It was truly a massive profit!
"This cockatiel's body is stiff, it's clearly dead," Meng Yunyang snorted coldly. "Yet you say it's asleep. Are you treating everyone like an idiot?"
"It might be possible to fool some ordinary people with such talk."
"I have been dealing with birds for many years, how could I believe your lies?"
"I can state with certainty."
"This cockatiel is dead!"
"Even if an immortal descended, they couldn't save it!"
Chen Nan asked, "Since you have dealt with birds for many years, let me ask presumptuously, is there a possibility of genetic mutation in birds?"
Meng Yunyang didn't know why Chen Nan asked this, but he replied, "There is indeed such a probability, but the chance of it happening is only one in ten million!"
With that said.
A look of disdain appeared on his face. "You're not going to say that this cockatiel is undergoing some kind of genetic mutation, and that's why its body is stiff, are you?"
"Yes!" Chen Nan replied. "The reason this cockatiel's body is stiff is because its genes are mutating. When it wakes up, it will definitely be reborn."
"It will wake up within an hour at the latest. We can wait and see if you don't believe me."
Liu Jun roared, "Stop spreading your deceptive words here, dead is dead."
"I don't believe my son can come back to life."
"Pay up!"
"If you don't pay, I'll smash Bai Niao Ju now!"
He Shuqin quickly said, "Mr. Liu, please don't be angry, I will compensate you for your losses now."
Just then.
Chen Nan's voice rang out, "I can pay, and I can apologize, but I have a condition."
Liu Jun frowned, "What condition?"
