Chapter 102: Chapter 101: Sweetheart Farm Goes Awry

Cheng Yao and Fei Wenxing saw Song Ke, looked back, and saw everyone from the second lap catching up, and they immediately became restless.

"Sis Tong, I’m heading off first, the last 20 in our Mecha Single Soldier Department will get punished," said Fei Wenxing before he sped up his run.

"Sis Tong, I’m off too, keep it up! Participation is what counts, haha," Cheng Yao also left.

Qu Tong was in no hurry and maintained a leisurely and even pace.

Song Ke had already taken the lead by a lap and wasn’t in a hurry either, running alongside Qu Tong.

Most people slowed down noticeably halfway through the run, breathing heavily and staggeringly.

Qu Wanwan was among them; although she could still keep going, sweat was beginning to ruin her meticulously applied makeup, making her very uncomfortable.

But Qu Tong, although not running fast, kept a very steady pace.

Gradually, she overtook half of the runners and was no longer at the back of the pack.

"Wanwan, isn’t that your sister over there? You were right, she really does have better physical endurance than us," the naïve bimbo shouted to Qu Wanwan, pointing at the person in front.

Qu Wanwan was already feeling sour watching Qu Tong surpass her.

Provoked by the bimbo’s words, she was choked with anger, her breathing became difficult, and she fainted on the spot.

"Wanwan!" the bimbo cried out in shock.

Drones in the sky monitored the whole course; quickly, as soon as Qu Wanwan fainted, someone came over to carry her to the medical room to prevent a stampede.

The chicken-boiling teacher and Principal Wei stood on the podium with their hands behind their backs, both shaking their heads.

This scene was recorded by other students who were watching the drama unfold.

By midday, a composite video went viral on the school’s forum.

The first half of the video showed Qu Wanwan being carried off after she fainted, the second half showed the principal and the grade director shaking their heads in extreme disappointment.

The accompanying text read: "You are the worst batch I’ve ever taught."

Lying in her dorm room that night, Qu Wanwan saw this video and became so furious that she threw everything on her bed to the floor.

Qu Wanwan normally lived off-campus with Lan Xingye, and only returned to the dorm because Lan Xingye didn’t come to class that day.

The roommates in the same dorm were startled by Qu Wanwan’s temper tantrum.

Aside from the bimbo, the other two were indifferent to her and simply continued sleeping, ignoring her.

The bimbo helped her pick up the scattered blanket, only to be snapped at by Qu Wanwan. She pouted and climbed into bed to sleep, not bothering with her anymore.

Qu Wanwan walked out to the balcony alone and started crying.

The next day, she caught a cold and went home to recover.

Qu Tong only saw the video shared by Fei Wenxing the next day and burst into laughter.

No wonder she didn’t see Qu Wanwan during the subsequent sparring drawing lots.

*

During the time Qu Wanwan was recuperating.

Sweetheart Farm was about to officially harvest, and Qu Jianwen had found a well-known live streamer to promote the produce three days in advance.

Qu Tong specifically registered an alt account to see how these million-follower streamers marketed products.

She went in only to witness a massive crash scene, catching sight of Fei Wenxing’s very conspicuous ID.

The streamer was a somewhat chubby middle-aged man, who, following the script, was hyping up Sweetheart Farm’s products.

Gifts appeared on the screen during the live stream.

Spear Sticks to Shit Whoever You Poke: "How come the lady is under the bed?"

As Fei Wenxing’s sparkling comment was posted, the audience’s focus shifted from the chubby man’s hand to the scene behind him in an instant.

The comment section quickly blew up.

"Isn’t the lady cold? Why isn’t she wearing shoes?"

"I can tell with a flick of my finger, the lady doesn’t seem like a local."

"What kind of package is the lady delivering, is it confidential?"

[It must be secretly shipped, wrapped in duct tape all over.]

[Host, stop promoting Energy Fruit, introduce your sister-in-law to us instead.]

[Can’t you guys have some pure thoughts, like maybe it’s Ultraman?]

[Exactly, exactly! You’re right, Ultraman without tight pants.]

[See if I believe you. [Death Smile] jpg]

[Hahahaha, I’m gonna die of laughter in the comments section.]

...

At first, when Qu Tong saw the two pieces of rubber sticking out from under the bed, he didn’t realize what they were.

It wasn’t until he read the comments from netizens that he instantly got it.

The host was still busily selling products when his assistant noticed something was amiss and tugged at the hefty uncle.

Then, the lively expression on the hefty uncle’s face turned stagnant like a jammed cassette tape, his head turned blankly, and it took him an eternity to utter a word.

And then, the live stream went dark.

Logging off during the peak of traffic on Blue Planet’s live streaming platform naturally led to very few presale products being sold.

Plus, the traffic purchased for the live streaming room had a time limit; even if the host came back online later, the impact had been significant.

Although Sweetheart Farm had enlisted more than one influencer, the hefty uncle had the most fans, and his fees were the highest.

At Yingyue Bay, members of the Qu Family main residence were also following the live stream.

Seeing the live stream crash, Qu Jianwen’s face turned as dark as ink.

He immediately called the head of operations and gave them a severe scolding.

How dare they make excuses? In a rage, Qu Jianwen ordered the person to pack their bags and get out.

After calming himself, Qu Jianwen spoke softly to Li Yuexiang, "Can you contact your cousin and have her help us with some promotion, maybe get us on the trending search?"

"But my cousin has run into some troubles recently; I’m not sure if she has the time to help us," Li Yuexiang hesitated.

Qu Jianwen said in a tone half persuasive and half imperative, "How troublesome could it be? You take Wanwan over to her personally. We can give them more of our products afterward as a thank you."

"Alright then," she agreed.

Li Yuexiang took the sickly Qu Wanwan to the Lan Family’s house, even putting makeup on her to appear more pitiful.

In the end, they managed to get on the trending search, but Qu Wanwan’s illness worsened, and even the Healing Chamber couldn’t help her recover without a proper rest.

However, another story was also quickly fermenting online.

In stark contrast to Qu Jianwen’s stinginess, Qu Tong found the netizen’s spread too slow and directly splashed out the cash to hit the trending search.

An anonymous account’s post unveiled that the oranges and tomatoes sold by Sweetheart Farm didn’t meet the purification standards, complete with hard evidence ranging from test reports to internal chat screenshots.

If Sweetheart Farm could tamper with the test reports, it surely had bypassed the regulatory authorities, so Qu Tong didn’t bother to report it; the enthusiastic netizens would do that anyway.

Just posting wouldn’t be enough—Xu An also teamed up with Brother Liang to buy traffic and enlist internet trolls.

Ke Jun capitalized on his previously cultivated resources to spread the message in every direction.

In less than half a day, this news fermented continuously online, sparking massive discussions among netizens, gathering over a million comments, hanging right beneath the trending searches promoted by Sweetheart Farm.

[I knew it, the Energy Fruit from Sweetheart Farm had a strange taste.]

[Thank goodness I didn’t eat much, with only 88% purification value, eating too much could easily lead to a Mental Outburst.]

[Isn’t it a twenty-year-old store? How did it suddenly burst out with this news, could it be that a rival is deliberately targeting it?]

[I heard that Sweetheart Farm has some connection with the Lan Family, who would dare mess with them?]

[Anyway, I’m never buying anything from the Qu Family farm again.]

[Princess Consort is also a Qu, but the Energy Fruit from her place is much tastier.]

[Right, and their store has also announced a new product launch—Green Kumquat and Sugar Tangerines in three days, looking forward to it.]

[Then I’d better hurry and get the whole family ready to snatch it up, or it’ll be gone again.]
