Chapter 24 - A week
Cool wind blew through the curtains. The sun\'s warmth was not in its peak creating a peaceful and calm morning.
The girl inside the room was putting her uniform when her gaze fell on her laptop.
\'Should I check?\'
Xiong Zhi gave the evidence yesterday afternoon to SHM. For sure, they had already posted it in their website and the evidence already spread.
\'No..I should wait until it reach my ears..\'
With that, Xiong Zhi continued her daily life including staring boldly at Linfeng. Since yesterday that she found out that Linfeng did not dislike her touch, Xiong Zhi had more courage now.
While Xiong Zhi\'s life went usual, in the internet world. A bomb had fallen.
[CJ\'s corruption had been found out! CEO\'s Assistant is a scape goat ?!]
An article was posted in SHM website. They posted it in Facebook,weibo, etc. with their website address. For hours, many ignore it since the website was not famous hence they thought it was unreliable. But there were also some people who were so bored to death and opened the article just to see it for their curiosity and to kill the time.
But when they read the article they were dumbfounded.
[CJ\'s controversies started a week ago. One (A) family bought a jewelry to present as a gift to B family. However, one of the elder from B family is expert in antiques and jewelries examined it and found out the diamonds in the bracelet were fake! They handed the bracelet to many expert and found the same conclusion. Being embarrassed, A family file a complaint to CJ that result an investigation of each employees in CJ\'s. The CJ\'s proclaimed that all the diamond in their jewelries were genuine. They even quoted "This case only happened once. Cj\'s will investigate the matter and will find what anomalies that caused this misunderstanding. We will give an explanation to the public."
[It turns out CJ\'s CEO assistant was the culprit. Switching true diamonds into a fake one. Selling the imitation while keeping the genuine.
[And six days from now the trial will begin.
[But...do you think justice was really given?
[We, the writers was surprised when we saw this.]
A picture of an accounting of diamonds and their price was attached. At the bottom, the editor circled the signatures of the CEO and the audit.
[This file was given to us by an unknown source. If what the CJ\'s really said that diamonds from that customer was really switched by a fake one, why the audit in this file tells us that the diamonds\' price were so low that I even can buy them by my two days \' work worth? Then all of us can afford diamonds.
Isn\'t this price tells us that the diamonds they were shipping were all imitations?
[If what I write was true and this picture too, why the CJ\'s only have this one issue? They have their usual costumers-the family from upper society. With reputation and background, how can they do such thing?
[If someone is going to propose, which store they will go to? Its CJ\'s, even us commoners don\'t have enough money to buy even one of those jewelries in CJ\'s, we still worked hard and save money to buy one jewelry for our other half. But what will you feel when that jewelry that you bought with your effort,hard work, and patience was actually fake? ]
Another picture was attached. This time it was the transaction of all the buyers who bought last month in CJ\'s.
There were two columns in this picture. The first one was listed as \'VIP\'s Buyers\'. The price of every item was sumptuous. Under each item, the interest of CJ\'s was written.
: 10%
While in the second column it had a title: Sales for common buyers. Under every transaction was the percent interest of CJ\'s.? 55%
[It is supposed to be on \'Sale\' right? Why they have 55% interest?While the other list that was not sale had 10% percent only? Why the interest differ so much if they were just the same item? Does it only confirmed the earlier picture?Then the diamonds that was audit earlier in the picture was the diamonds used in jewelries for \'Sale for commoners\'.
How outrageous! They use fake diamonds in their promo Sale for commoners to attract people and deceive them . We thought were buying a little less expensive genuine jewelry but its not! Were buying fakes with? extravagant price! Is that because we can easily be deceive without the knowledge to see the difference between the genuine and fake? Because we cannot afford the experts? While their \'VIP\'s Buyers\' can?
[One more thing, they point all accusations and crimes to their CEO\'s assistant. Is she really the master mind behind this? If she is, what this audit with the auditor, board of directors and even the president himself signed explain this? Is she also capable of that?
[We , SHM, studied this doc.u.ment , we found out that Ms. Xiao Mei, entered CJ\'s a year ago, but this doc.u.ment tell us that this corruption and deceiving people happened already for a very long time.]
Three pictures of audit was posted but with a different date. The first picture is dated this year, the second is last year and the last picture is dated two tears ago.
[With this concrete evidence speaking, can they still tell that Ms. Xiao Me is the real culprit? Ms. Xiao Mei has no interaction with CJ\'s two years ago. She was at the university. Now, they dared to decieve the public by representing a scape goat for their crimes? Truly shameless!
[We, SHM, as public trusted Media wants to tell this to the citizens who have been victimized by CJ\'s. We will not turn a blind eye to this inJUSTICE!
[And if you are wondering if this evidence are all genuine, then try to contact those people who is in the transaction and audit list.]
They post another picture. It was the two column picture. Both had a same item with a comparison of prices with them. Below, is the computed price of the two. Huge difference could be seen.
The viewers who saw this article was shocked, then rage consumed them. They also bought at CJ\'s in their \'Sale for commoners\'. The article hit them hard. They were like those people who work hard for those piece of accessories to please their sisters, mothers, girlfriends, and wife.
The CJ\'s was a famous number one jewelries and accessories company in China. It was even expanding in overseas. So many people trust this hundred year old company. In the first of its generation, only wealthy and powerful people can afford CJ\'s accessories, but in this 20th century they open it publicly, welcoming commoners to buy their jewels at a fair price calling it \'sale\'.
That\'s why a lot of people-which almost population of China bought their accessories at CJ\'s.
Reading this article the people who read this was infruitated. Like the writer had written, they were deceived!
Their hard work, sweats and tears were surfaced in their minds, in the end the one they worked hard for was a fake one!
The CJ\'s were shameless! Animals!
How dare they looked down at them ?!
Even it was only few people who read this article, they post it to all of their accounts and share it. They were all shouting injustice!
After hours of posting, this article skyrocketed in internet and become number one searching.
TheNamethatCannotbeSaid: What?!! My bf also bought at CJ\'s a week ago for our anniversary! It is from Sale! I\'m wearing it right now. Don\'t tell me , it\'s fake?!!!!
ReachyourNosebyyourTongue: I can\'t believe it. I always bought at CJ\'s every year for my grandmother\'s present. I save? one for a MONTH...and just for a FAKE?!!!!!!
ImSarcastic: Hey! It is not yet confirmed that the picture above are all true....
NoNeed: My sister\'s fiance is from a VIP\'s buyer list from above. My friend, is from the Sale. They bought the same item. The price form the picture is the price they have paid.
ImNotSure: The CJ\'s really did this?!! They must investigate!!
More people commented to the article. Some people did not believe but many want to investigate this matter.
In the evening, in a certain villa, a man in his fifties, was on the pool surrounded by beauties wearing two piece. They were serving the man.
The man was leaning on the edge of the pool while the rest of his body was in the pool itself . He was on the phone.
"I told you to call me when the deal is important. Not for groundless rumors!" The man at the pool shouted to his phone .
"But CEO Long, this article spread to the internet,.many netizens were asking for our explanation. Not only that , they seemed to have some evidence. The PR was also contacting me, asking for you---"
"What are you afraid of? Everything is good and in place. We need to wait for a few days then the trial will come. This issue will be gone . So don\'t call me anymore because I\'m busy. You handle things there." Then the middle-aged man ended the call.
He did not take it seriously. As he said, everything was as he planned. He only need to wait. Besides, it was just an article. How can it compare to CJ\'s glory? If it become big, he would just need to suppress it with money. And he had plenty of that.
[End of Day 2]
