The professional team’s script was very detailed. It included the brands of the learning supplies, the purchase method, the testing reports from the professional testing laboratory, and so on. Everything was complete.
The beginning of the live-stream was a simple summary.
However, every item would then be introduced in detail, with emphasis on the toxic and harmful substances that could cause harm to one’s health.
Among these products, some did not have clear brand names but had corresponding sales channels, and had brands. Ma Yang spoke the names of the brands without attempting to hide anything.
Soon, the comments in the live-stream changed completely.
At first, everyone had just been watching for fun and not paying much attention. However, slowly, the bullet screen comments became serious.
“So, Boss Ma is not endorsing these brands, but exposing their fake and inferior products?”
“?? My child uses this type of eraser!”
“There are even big brands in here. Their products sell very well both online and at the stationery store outside the school. Yet, even they don’t meet the standards?”
“These are all strong carcinogens meant for children’s use! Do these merchants have any morals?”
“Boss Ma seems to be well-prepared. Thank you for exposing these rubbish products, Boss Ma!”
The viewers typing the bullet screen comments had had no interest in Ma Yang’s live-stream at all.
Who would want to watch an endorsement of pencil erasers? There were no primary school students watching the live-stream.
What’s more, most people subconsciously believed that things like pencils, erasers, book covers, and solid glue would not differ much even if their price and quality were different.
Even if people endorsed particular products, no one would go online just to buy them.
However, the audience had not thought that Boss Ma was not endorsing those goods, but exposing them!
What’s more, he was honest, fair, and outspoken for small brands and large local stationery brands alike!
It would be meaningless to listen to endorsements, but interesting to listen to exposés!
There was a small number of people watching the live-stream, whose children had to use these stationery in school. When they heard that these stationery contained high levels of toxic and harmful substances, they became extremely anxious. Although most other people had no direct interest in this matter, it was easy for them to feel indignant about the harmful stationery as well.
It was one thing to sell poor-quality and expensive stationery, but quite another to cut corners to save a few yuan and endanger children’s health in the process.
Was this something a human could do?
“I support Boss Ma!”
“Has anyone recorded this? Put it up on the internet! Expose these black-hearted and unscrupulous merchants!”
“Is Boss Ma’s conclusion reliable? Don’t you think he’s exaggerating things to scare us? People pay so much more for these branded products, and yet they’re not that far off from third-rate goods? That seems a little ridiculous…”
“Boss Ma has test reports available already. He must have tested it seriously!”
“I’m a fan of Boss Ma now!”
“I used to think that Boss Ma was just throwing money away on Weibo. Now, it seems like Boss Ma is not only an investor driven by interest and a dream-fulfiller for ordinary people, but he is also the nemesis of fake and inferior products! I will not miss a single live-stream from Boss Ma from now on!”
“Boss Ma is so tough – he’s a real man!”
As Ma Yang continued live-streaming, more and more bullet screen comments appeared.
Pei Qian read the bullet screen comments on Ma Yang’s live-stream using his cell phone. For a while, he was speechless.
What the f*ck…?
The situation had completely exceeded Pei Qian’s expectations. At first, he had thought that Ma Yang would just be exposing poor-quality learning equipment. Who would be interested in such content?
Never would he have expected the content of this episode to be so well-received!
On further thought, this was mainly because he had made a mistake.
Like many viewers, Pei Qian had subconsciously thought that even if the quality of some pencils, erasers, plastic book covers, and solid glue were not as good, they could not be that bad.
However, the test results revealed that his imagination could never keep up with the decline in manufacturers’ moral standards.
It was precisely because these things seemed worthless and common that such a serious quality problem had been allowed to fester. Naturally, people felt indignant that children’s health was being put at risk!
Pei Qian had a bad feeling about this.
From the looks of it, Old Ma’s live-stream was going to be a success!

“Could Old Ma really become an internet celebrity?
“Wouldn’t that stray too far from reality?
“No, calm down. Things shouldn’t be that bad yet…”
After careful consideration, Pei Qian decided to wait and see.
That was because this was just the beginning. The further they went, the greater the resistance and problems would become.
This was only the first episode; the manufacturers that Ma Yang had exposed were not prepared at all.
However, as Ma Yang exposed more and more problematic manufacturers, they would surely work together to think of ways to take revenge and play some tricks.
What’s more, most people’s anger came and went quickly.
For ordinary people, the desire to spend money was endless. Real live streamers who endorsed products had very loyal fans as well. Their audience would view their live-streams and try to understand their content for no reason, even if had no intentions of buying the products.
Most people would not watch exposés every day either. They would only pay attention when they really needed the products.
Ma Yang was starting off well, but his success might not be sustainable. What if he suddenly stopped live-streaming after a month or two?
That was very possible!
That was because it was easy for people to get tired of Ma Yang’s content. It would feel fresh the first time they saw it, but the more they watched, the more boring it would become.
What’s more, Ma Yang was doing the right thing.
Pei Qian had always hated toxic and harmful products like houses with formaldehyde. Since what Old Ma was doing now could protect the interests and health of ordinary consumers, it was meaningful.
Even if he earned some money from it, Pei Qian could tolerate it.
Moreover, the possibility of earning money from it was not high at the moment.
Pei Qian had already warned the team not to accept any money from manufacturers.
Regardless of whether the manufacturer was offering money for them to say good things, bad things, or nothing about their product, they could not accept the money.
From the looks of the current situation, Ma Yang’s live-stream had gained a certain amount of popularity and traffic, but there was no possibility of generating profits yet.
Thus, although Ma Yang’s ‘reverse endorsing’ live-stream was off to a good start, Pei Qian had no intention of stopping him. Instead, he decided to let Ma Yang continue for a while longer and observe the situation.
Soon, the live-stream ended.
Ma Yang finally finished reading his script. A wide grin split his long face. “Alright, that’s all for today’s live-stream. See you next time!”
After the live-stream ended, Ma Yang received a glass of water from Chen Yufeng. He took two sips. Then, he impatiently asked, “How was it, Brother Qian? My performance was not bad, right?”
Pei Qian nodded. “Yes, continue working hard!”
…
At the same time, in a hotel in Jingzhou City…
Half a year had passed in the blink of an eye. It was a new recruitment season for Tengda.
Wu Bin and his colleagues from the HR department helped to maintain order at the examination venue.
The biggest feeling Wu Bin had was that more and more people were taking Tengda’s entrance examination!
As more and more people signed up, more exam venues had to be arranged. The expenses for the entire recruitment season were also increasing.
Tengda’s recruitment season, which took place twice a year, became one of the most important responsibilities for the HR and administrative departments. They always had to start preparing one or two months in advance.
This time, Tengda had booked more than ten large banquet halls in Jingzhou as examination venues. Wu Bin was in charge of maintaining order in one of the examination venues.
At noon, many foreign candidates returned to their rooms to rest. However, some other candidates remained in the examination hall, reading seriously and answering questions.
Many young men from Fish-Catching Take-Out rushed over to deliver the lunch that the candidates had ordered.
Many foreign candidates took this opportunity to taste the famous Fish-Catching Take-Out.
Wu Bin had been walking around the examination hall aimlessly when he suddenly noticed a few books on one of the candidates’ table.
‘Detailed Answers for Tengda’s Entrance Examination’.
‘Encyclopedia for Tengda’s Entrance Examination:’
‘Prediction of Various Professional Knowledge Questions in the Tengda Entrance Examination’.
Wu Bin was stunned.
“Guide books for Tengda’s entrance examinations?”
