There are many disabled people in China, but guide dogs are very rare. Dong Xiaoni's base successfully bred only 21 guide dogs last year. This is the case even in a big city like the capital, not to mention other places.
So Lin Qingle can understand that many people don’t know much about guide dogs, but she just hopes that after she explains, everyone can give the blind and dogs a chance instead of rejecting them in a rude way.
After what happened that day, Lin Qingle also reported the situation to the base. Dong Xiaoni said that things would get better over time, but other than that, there was nothing they could do.
Because of this, Lin Qingle was in a bad mood. And Xu Tingbai was away on business the next day, so she was even more depressed because she had no outlet to vent.
At noon that day, she and Ji Chaochao went to a restaurant to eat together.
"Qingle!" Qian Xiaojing was originally at another table. When she saw them coming over to eat, she came over with her food tray. "Qingle, did you take the bus the other day?"
Lin Qingle was stunned: "Bus? What's wrong?"
Qian Xiaojing lowered her voice and asked, "You were on the bus... and had an argument with an old man?"
Lin Qingle was silent for two seconds: "How do you know?"
"So is this really you? Of course I know, I just saw you on the Internet."
"… "
Ji Chaochao: "What online? Let me take a look?"
Qian Xiaojing quickly took out her phone and logged into Weibo, then clicked on a social blogger's Weibo post: "Watch this video."
Lin Qingle really saw himself.
The video starts with her glaring at the old man, who insisted on dragging Koizumi to get in the car. The old man tried to stop her, but she blocked him.
The person who took the video should be a passenger next to him. From his angle, he couldn't tell whether she used any force. All he could see was that she just pushed the old man down.
The old man sat on the ground and started to make a scene miserably - "Oh, you pushed me! You young man are really lawless! I am afraid because my grandson is afraid, and also because this dog cannot be brought along! You insisted on coming up and pushed me!"
The video is very noisy, with all kinds of sounds. Finally, the driver's voice is heard, and he asks her to get off the car in a nice and gentle way. She has an angry face the whole time... The video ends here.
Lin Qingle's grip on the phone suddenly tightened. She looked at the comments below. This blogger didn't have many fans, and the video was posted last night. But because it was reposted by other big Vs this morning, the number of reposts and comments exceeded 10,000.
Young people nowadays are so uncultured. The old man didn't let her bring the dog up, and she had this attitude
Dogs are not allowed on buses in the capital
To be honest, this little sister is really beautiful hahaha
This quality must be uneducated, it's obvious that she's the type waiting to be taken care of.
The child was crying like that, his grandfather was crying for his grandson
Why don’t dog lovers show up at this time
Is grandpa okay? Why is this woman so disgusting
…
The video is not long, and the camera of the mobile phone is only facing her and the old man. I guess the person who filmed it took the opportunity to film it because he saw their conflict escalating. He didn't even take pictures of the dog, and focused on the quarrel between the two.
And what’s worse is that she doesn’t mention guide dogs in this video.
Lin Qingle's face darkened when he saw those comments.
Ji Chaochao: "What's going on, Qingle, this can't be you."
Qian Xiaojing: "I also said..."
Those who have gotten along with Lin Qingle naturally know what kind of person she is. How could she be so rude to an old man
"It's me, but the video is incomplete." Lin Qingle said.
"Huh? What's going on?"
"The dog he was talking about is a guide dog."
…
It was easy for Lin Qingle to explain to Ji Chaochao and Qian Xiaojing, but it was not so easy to explain to the netizens who had already accused her of a crime. Moreover, the netizens were very fast. By the afternoon, Lin Qingle's private information had been dug out.
The comment about Lin Qingle being the deputy department manager of Aurora HME was topped.
Why does Aurra keep such a person? I think he should be fired.
That's right, such a big company doesn't even look at the character of its employees.
What's the point of bullying the elderly
Why don't you come out and apologize? Are you hiding like a turtle
…
After get off work, Lin Qingle was not in a good mood because he had endured criticism from netizens and strange looks from colleagues in other departments for the entire afternoon.
After she came out of the elevator, she wanted to go eat something by herself, but she suddenly felt that she had no appetite after leaving the company. So she walked into a coffee shop near the company and ordered a cup of coffee.
"Hey, it looks like this person." Not far away, two students in school uniforms were whispering.
"Really, really, isn't Aurra right here? I heard that woman is an Aurra employee."
"Hurry up and take a picture with your phone!"
"Uh-huh!"
"What a coincidence, we bumped into him. How shameless of him to even have the mood to drink coffee."
"that is… "
On the other side, Lin Qingle's coffee was ready. She took it, turned around and was about to leave.
As she walked towards the door, she saw someone coming towards her from the corner of her eye. She slightly turned sideways to avoid him, but the person was very strange and bumped into her directly.
"Ah." The coffee was knocked out, splashing all over his clothes and hands. It was very hot, and the back of Lin Qingle's hand turned red immediately.
"Oops, did I bump into you? Sorry." The student in school uniform said casually.
Lin Qingle felt pain, but since she was a student, she probably didn't do it on purpose, so he didn't think much of it, "… It's okay."
But when he was about to leave, the man said, "Little sister, you have to learn from me. If you knock someone down, you must say sorry."
Lin Qingle frowned: "What did you say?"
Female student: "I mean, not only did you insist on bringing your dog on the bus, but you also pushed the old man and didn't even apologize after pushing him. You are so shameless."
Lin Qingle immediately realized what this student was doing. Just as he was about to say something, someone suddenly shouted, "Lin Qingle!"
It was a familiar voice. Lin Qingle never expected to hear it here.
When she turned around in surprise, she saw Xu Tingbai coming over. He quickly took her hand and asked, "Does it hurt?"
Lin Qingle retracted his hand: "Fortunately... Why are you back? Aren't you on a business trip?"
Xu Tingbai: "I finished early. I just arrived at the company gate and came over when I saw you."
Lin Qingle: "I'm fine."
"It's okay, follow me!"
"Hey—" The student was stunned when she saw Xu Tingbai walk in. Looking at the situation, she probably thought that he was the boyfriend of this vicious woman. She snorted, "Brother, are you her boyfriend? Brother, you don't have a good eye. Have you seen the news today? This person..."
"Get lost." Xu Tingbai glanced to the side with a very sharp look.
The girl froze for a moment. Although the man in front of her didn't say anything else, she had a hunch that if she said anything else, the man would no longer be polite to her because she was a little girl.
She took a step back and didn't dare say anything for a moment.
Xu Tingbai glanced at her coldly, then pulled Lin Qingle out.
"Tsk... What a waste of face, no vision." The student snorted and called his classmates over, "Hey, did you just take a picture?"
"Yes, I'm secretly filming it."
"Spread it, spread it online. We're just trying to avenge the old man." The student smiled smugly. "Besides, her boyfriend took the photo. She's so pretty, so it's sure to get a lot of hits."
"Hahaha, that's right."
…
Xu Tingbai took Lin Qingle back to the office with a sullen face. After Jason brought in an ice pack, he quietly left.
"Hiss... It's so cold."
Xu Tingbai: "Don't move."
Lin Qingle curled his lips: "It hurts..."
"Now that you know it hurts, can you please discuss it with me before you do anything?"
Lin Qingle was stunned for a moment and looked at him in surprise: "What did I... do?"
Xu Tingbai snorted coldly: "What are you doing now, do you think I don't know?"
"… "
Xu Tingbai's words were cold, but his actions of applying the ice were gentle and careful: "All the criticisms online are blaming you. I already know about this. After I came back, I also called the guide dog base. Dong Xiaoni said that you were the one who asked her not to post the Weibo that the base was explaining for you."
"Ah... you called."
"People on the Internet are scolding you, saying all kinds of nasty things, but you deliberately don't explain. You didn't even explain to your colleagues."
Lin Qingle: "No, Xiaojing and Chaochao know."
"Except for them."
"No explanation." Lin Qingle looked at his red hands and frowned slightly: "It's not popular enough... I want more people to know about this. I don't care if you scold me now, but it would be best if I can be scolded to the point of being on the hot search."
"you… "
"This matter needs to be heated up. I want to explain it at the peak so that guide dogs can better appear in the public eye. If this news can make everyone know about guide dogs, it is worth it."
Xu Tingbai was silent for a while, then sneered, "Oh, you are indeed an advertising expert, and you are indeed our company's top planner. When you encounter something like this, you think about popularity and effects first. Lin Qingle, you are really good."
Lin Qingle choked: "Well, it's not that great... Isn't this a routine operation? Don't be angry, I didn't tell you this because I thought you were still on a business trip and didn't want to disturb you. The reason I didn't explain to my colleagues was because my information leaked out so quickly, there must be an insider who broke the news."
Xu Tingbai knew what she was thinking. He saw the signs when he called Dong Xiaoni. But he was still very unhappy. "You don't mind if I scold you, but what about this?"
Xu Tingbai raised her hand and said, "It doesn't matter if you get hurt?"
Lin Qingle was a little embarrassed: "This matter... is an accident. I didn't expect to encounter it. It's not serious. I'm fine."
"You're fine, but I am."
"… "
Xu Tingbai's face was very dark. God knew how he felt after she burned his hand because of that incident.
"Does it still hurt?"
Seeing his unfriendly expression, Lin Qingle didn't dare to say that it hurt anymore: "It doesn't hurt anymore... It really doesn't hurt anymore, don't be angry." She tilted her head and looked at him: "Xu Tingbai? Oh, don't be angry, I really don't hurt anymore, ice compress is so useful!"
"… "
Lin Qingle: "I will tell you in advance next time, okay? I won't hide it from you, really, don't be angry, don't look sad, come on, smile."
She stretched out the fingers of her other hand and pinched the corner of his mouth upwards.
Xu Tingbai reached out and held her hand, and Lin Qingle smiled at him pleadingly.
Xu Tingbai sighed, totally helpless with her: "I don't want to see them scold you, so I'll issue a clarification tomorrow. Both the base and the company will issue one. As for the old man and the driver on the bus, I'll have someone contact them."
"Tomorrow?" Lin Qingle said in embarrassment, "I wonder if it will be popular enough by then... I don't know if it will be on the trending search list."
"Then buy it."
"ah?"
Xu Tingbai said: "Buy a hot search, and also buy a hot search for the clarification announcement, this will be more secure."
Lin Qingle blinked: "Is this the way?"
"Your hands are burned, how could it be worth it otherwise?"
“It’s quite expensive…”
Xu Tingbai stared at her coldly.
Lin Qingle quickly made a gesture to seal his mouth: "Oh! It's not expensive, not expensive... Mr. Xu has money."
