At this moment, in Lu Bai's background, the progress bar of the link to 'Hack a Knife to Fight for a Phone' had unknowingly turned 100%. It indicated that the bargain had been successful and that Lu Bai had been given a coupon. Lu Bai only needed to pay 0.01 yuan to get a brand new Xiaomi K50, and it was free shipping.
To be honest, he had already gotten his hands on the phone, but Lu Bai felt even more humiliated.
The progress bar had clearly been secretly modified by Bing Xixi's back-end. The officials had seen that the matter had blown up and had already had a very serious impact, so they compromised and secretly changed the rules and gave the phone to Lu Bai.
However, this kind of behavior was actually quite contemptuous. Lu Bai was a celebrity with millions of fans. Just a dozen of his representative works could dominate the hot song charts of major music platforms. Although he did not have money in his pocket, he was not someone you could buy with a 3,000-yuan phone, right?
This hush money was simply like scolding someone.
Of course, Bing Xixi did not really expect a 3,000 yuan Xiaomi phone to shut Lu Bai up. They were just trying to cover up their mistakes. After all, they did use a very small font to mark the link. The final interpretation of this event was owned by Xixi.
What Bing Xixi meant was that now that she had given him the phone and he had successfully bargained, even if he wanted to pick a fight with her, he would not give him any evidence. As for the screenshot from before, if he dared to use it to make a fuss, he would say that he had photoshopped it and was deliberately defaming the company. He would make him take legal responsibility.
Facing such a shameless person, Lu Bai had no other choice. However, after thinking about it, he posted the progress bar and the 0.01 yuan purchase voucher on Weibo with a caption.
[Thank you for your help, but I've already uninstalled Bingxixi. I won't be receiving this phone.】
Lu Bai's response immediately attracted the attention of countless netizens. When the netizens saw the 100% progress bar and the 0.01 yuan purchase voucher on Lu Bai's backstage, they were even more indignant than Lu Bai.
"Wow, Bing Xixi saw the commotion on the Internet and immediately changed the background data, right? She's really fast.”
"I've never seen such a shameless person. They're obviously planning to refuse to admit it. After all, the evidence has been destroyed.”
"Hehe, are you willing to give me your phone now? Are you mocking Lu Xiaobai?"
"Lu Xiaobai was right to not want this phone! I don't want this kind of thing from a black-hearted merchant!”
"That's right. Sisters, even if each of us takes out ten cents, it's enough to buy Lu Xiaobai the latest Pingguo!”
Just as the entire internet was in an uproar over Lu Bai's hacking incident, Lu Bai, who got off the car, met Xu Zheng, who had specially come to pick him up.
"Teacher Xu Zheng."
"Xiao Bai, I haven't seen you for a few days and I miss you so much. Also, don't call me teacher, call me Brother Zheng.”
Xu Zheng was very enthusiastic. He wanted to help Lu Bai carry his luggage personally, but he realized that Lu Bai did not have any luggage at all. He only carried an old school bag, and it did not seem to contain anything…
"Xiao Bai, the hotel has already been arranged. It's a five-star hotel right beside the sea. I've already paid a month's rent in advance. You can stay as long as you want. As for the inspiration for the theme song, you can take your time to find it.”
At this moment, Xu Zheng's attitude towards Lu Bai was clearly more cordial than a few days ago.
If it was said that Xu Zheng only valued Lu Bai's musical talent at the mushroom house, then after learning about Lu Bai's past experience of being in debt of 600 million, Xu Zheng had more respect and admiration for this young man who was 20 years younger than him.
He was talented, good-looking, tenacious, and so young. He would definitely be extraordinary in the future.
Xu Zheng felt that although 600 million was a lot, it was only a matter of time for Lu Bai to pay it off. Lu Bai was a supernova with a bright future, and it was indeed worth making friends with. After becoming friends, he might even be supported by Lu Bai in the future.
"Xiao Bai, take a rest in the afternoon. There are still some things to do at the production team. After Old Huang and I are done with our work tonight, let's have a drink together.”
After all, Xu Zheng was the lead actor of the movie, Heart Flower Lu Fang. At the same time, he was also one of the investors. Therefore, there were many things to do during the filming period. Even so, he still took time out of his busy schedule to specially go to the station to pick up Lu Bai. From this, it could be seen how much he valued Lu Bai.
Lu Bai did not directly take out the theme song from Xinhua Road and give it to Xu Zheng, although he had already written it in the car and the lyrics and music score were in his bag.
After all, this theme song was considered a theme song. Xu Zheng's request was related to the trip and the big gift. Lu Bai had to pretend to be a fan. Otherwise, it would be too fake to hand in the song as soon as he arrived at the big gift. Even if Lu Bai had the reputation of a once-in-a-century musical genius, he could not do things that were too outrageous.
Not long after Xu Zheng left, Lu Bai received a call from Zhang Yadong of Wheatfield Music.
"Hey, Xiao Bai, is it time for the big gift?”
"En, just"
Zhang Yadong was the first person in the industry to get to know Lu Bai. The two of them were already very familiar with each other. Zhang Yadong also knew that Lu Bai did not like to waste time, so he always talked to Lu Bai about things and hung up when there was nothing else.
"A company has come to our headquarters and wants to contact you through the headquarters…"
"Bing Xixi?"
Lu Bai was slightly surprised when he heard this. He didn't think that Xi Xi would come to him to reconcile or anything. After all, the matter had already been known by everyone. There was no point in reconciling now.
"It's not Bi Xixi. Uh, it's Xiao Mi's phone…"
It turned out that when Lu Bai and Bing Xixi's incident had caused a stir, the founder and chairman of Xiao Mi's mobile phone, Lei Juen, had noticed this matter on the Internet. He had especially noticed that the mobile phone that Lu Bai wanted to exchange for was the K50 that had just been released by Xiao Mi's company.
Although this matter did not have much to do with Xiao Mi's company, Ray Guen's vision and judgment were naturally different. He immediately realized that this was actually a very good product promotion opportunity.
After all, Lu Bai and Bing Xixi would not be able to reach a conclusion in their battle. The popularity that they had built up would slowly fade away with time. It was indeed a waste.
Therefore, Leguen immediately contacted Imperial Capital's Wheatfield Music, which had a close relationship with Lu Bai, and expressed that he wanted to use the popularity of this incident to do a wave of advertising.
Lei Juen's idea was for Xiao Mi company to publicly give a Xiao Mi K50 to Lu Bai for free. This way, it could form a sharp contrast with Bing Xixi, who could not be bought by 60,000 people. Not only would it improve Xiao Mi company's corporate image, but it could also use this opportunity to promote the latest product, the K50, and increase the sales of the new machine.
Of course, Lei Juen would not be so naive as to think that a 3,000 yuan cell phone could bribe Lu Bai and make him cooperate with their promotions. In addition to this cell phone, Lei Juen also expressed that he was willing to pay 500,000 yuan in private as a "promotional fee."
If this matter could be successful, Xiao Mi's company would gain fame, and Lu Bai would get money and a cell phone. Both parties would be able to achieve a win-win situation and maximize the benefits of this popularity on the Internet instead of wasting it.
Moreover, this 500,000 yuan was not an endorsement fee. Lu Bai did not need to sign a contract or help Xiao Mi shoot an advertisement. He only needed to declare on the Internet that he would accept the cell phone given by Xiao Mi's company. It was not difficult at all. It was just a matter of posting a few words on Weibo.
It had to be said that Ray Guen was indeed not an ordinary person to be able to create such a huge mobile phone brand on his own. However, from his methods and attitude, he was quite extraordinary. He was much better than Bing Xixi's ugly face.
"Xiao Bai, I think this is quite good. You're also short of money, and you don't have to pay anything. It's just like picking it up for free. Moreover, CEO Lei has vaguely revealed that their current celebrity spokesperson contract is about to expire.”
"If you two can work well together this time, Xiao Mi's next spokesperson might look for you. You have to know that as a celebrity, advertising and endorsement fees are the main source of income. It's much faster than just writing songs and earning royalties…"
Zhang Yadong was right. Lu Bai had no reason to reject this matter. After all, Xiao Mi only wanted to use his popularity and fame. The fee was not low.
However, Lu Bai did not agree to it immediately. Instead, he asked Zhang Yadong for the contact information of Xiao Mi's chairman, Lei Juen, and personally communicated with Lei Juen over the phone.
Not long after, the attacks on Bing Xixi on the Internet gradually subsided. Firstly, Bing Xixi had spent a lot of money on public relations to clean up the mess. Secondly, the netizens also knew that a top-tier e-commerce company like Bing Xixi could not be defeated with just a few words from everyone. As they scolded her, they felt that it was boring and let it go.
However, at this time, one of the two largest domestic mobile phone brands, Xiao Mi Mobile Company, suddenly posted on Weibo through their official account, expressing their gratitude to Teacher Lu Bai for his trust in Xiao Mi's mobile phone. In addition, Xiao Mi Company was willing to take this opportunity to give Lu Bai the latest K50 for free.
Just as the netizens were at a loss whether to laugh or cry at Xiao Mi's sudden appearance, Xiao Mi's company released another Weibo statement.
[As per Teacher Lu Bai's request, in addition to giving Teacher Lu Bai this K50, we will also take out another 200 new K50 machines as Teacher Lu Bai's thanks to his fans. Friends can go to Teacher Lu Bai's Weibo account to participate in the lucky draw. If the winner sends us the address and screenshot, we will mail a new machine to you for free on behalf of Teacher Lu Bai.]
When this statement was released, many netizens were stunned. After all, no one would have thought that Lu Bai, who was so poor that he could not even afford to eat, not only did not want to take advantage of his fans, but he also wanted to use Xiao Mi's company to organize a lucky draw to give away mobile phones to thank his fans?
