Smoking room.

Rossi held a cigarette between her fingers.

I just pressed the post button on my personal Weibo account.

After completing this step...

The huge weight that had been hanging over his heart finally eased a little.

In his understanding.

This is already the optimal solution for turning the tide in a desperate situation.

The individual account personally issued an apology.

They humbled themselves, took the initiative to admit their mistakes, and promised to rectify them.

Full of specifications, full of attitude.

The anger across the internet should have subsided considerably by now.

Once the hype dies down, the wave of cancellations will stop.

There is still room to salvage their reputation.

In just a few dozen seconds.

The phone's notification bar exploded instantly.

Comment, share, send private messages, like.

Various notification sounds popped up in a frenzy, flooding the screen.

The density is outrageous.

Rossi subconsciously thought that it was a sincere apology that moved the netizens.

Public opinion began to reverse course.

He casually opened the Weibo backend.

My gaze fell on the top of the long article I had just published.

The next second, he froze on the spot.

His pupils contracted sharply.

At the very top of the entire apology statement.

A line of glaring text was prominently displayed.

Mr. Luo forwarded the text.

Just six simple words.

This effectively sealed the fate of this public relations campaign.

This is not a genuine personal reflection.

This is a complete assembly-line public relations performance.

The entire process involves ghostwriting, copying and pasting, and going through the motions for show.

They couldn't even be bothered to delete internal work notes.

The word "perfunctory" perfectly describes the situation.

It was welded right under the public's nose.

The observational skills of netizens across the internet have always been at an all-time high.

Originally, everyone was still concerned about the quality issue of the broken brake pedal.

The security vulnerabilities of the 1612 cow that do not meet national standards are still being discussed.

This line should be noted.

Everyone's focus shifted instantly.

Nobody talks about car quality anymore.

Everyone watched as Chrysanthemum Group offered its most perfunctory apology.

The comments section lasted only one minute.

It was immediately flooded with posts and comments.

The mockery was relentless and unstoppable.

"I can't laugh anymore; the apology copy comes with its own internal work notes."

"Even copy-pasting can backfire; their level of PR attention to detail is truly remarkable."

"A luxury car worth millions sells for top-tier prices, but the apology attitude is downright cheap."

"So it was all an act from beginning to end, and Mr. Luo just clicked 'post'?"

"They sincerely apologize verbally, but they don't change their minds at all; they're just going through the motions to fool consumers."

The speed at which public opinion fermented far exceeded everyone's expectations.

The new trending search terms quickly climbed the charts.

#Rosie's apology Weibo post has built-in internal notes#

The popularity of the term has skyrocketed.

It firmly holds a top position on the trending topics list.

This is similar to the previous hashtag #ZunmiaoL900BrakePedalBreak#.

Two negative trending topics were displayed side-by-side at the top of the list.

Double critical hits, stacking up the collapse buff.

The entire internet is doubly happy with this gossip.

the other side.

Zhang Yifan was idly browsing the trending topics list.

I immediately spotted Rossi's epic, self-destructive moment.

He just took advantage of the early morning opening of the market.

He quietly took possession of all the shares of Chixing Automobile.

All inventory was cleared out and sold off completely.

This position, from its initial establishment to its subsequent sale.

Keep a low profile throughout.

Nobody knows.

This includes Chixing Motors, Hongmeng Zhixing, and Rossi himself.

No one knew that Zhang Yifan held tens of millions of shares in their company.

No one expected it.

He will time his exit precisely on the eve of a public opinion collapse.

It's time to secure the huge unrealized profits.

Completely extricate yourself from all capital turmoil.

This is him now.

They are simply bystanders who are in a high position and watching the show.

When it doesn't concern you, you see things with exceptional clarity.

Zhang Yifan read through each of the sarcastic comments from netizens.

Only one thought remained in my mind.

Do not live by committing sins.

Yesterday's public opinion crisis was originally...

Although it is dangerous, there is still a glimmer of hope.

Admitting mistakes discreetly, making every effort to rectify them, and offering sincere compensation.

Even if it means lowering your stance a little.

They can gradually stabilize their reputation.

As a result, Chrysanthemum launched a deceptive attempt to control public opinion.

Deleting the video but not removing it from the trending topics list.

It forcefully aroused the curiosity of the entire internet.

This allowed public opinion to spread a second time.

I finally came up with a plan to mitigate the damage by personally apologizing.

Rossi's attempt to copy and paste backfired again.

Bring along a fatal internal note.

They squandered their last chance to turn the tide.

Extinguish it yourself.

This is a classic case of adding insult to injury, or adding fuel to the fire.

A WeChat message popped up on my phone screen.

From Tian Jun.

The content is extremely brief.

There are only five characters.

Our competitors are idiots.

Zhang Yifan looked at the screen.

I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

This was said in the past.

Just take it as a joke within the industry.

I watched all of Chrysanthemum's outrageous actions today.

This is a true and accurate summary.

There is absolutely no exaggeration involved.

He did not reply to the message.

Continue refreshing the trending topics.

I soon saw the latest news from AutoKing.

The test video that was previously forcibly deleted.

It was not uploaded again.

But Dongchewang has no intention of backing down.

They released the complete set of original test archives directly.

High-definition sensor data reports.

Original image captured during high-speed testing.

Full mechanical data collection and recording.

All firsthand evidence will be made public.

There was no editing, no cuts, and no embellishment.

The caption from Dongchewang (a Chinese automotive media outlet) was strong and confrontational, directly challenging the prevailing opinion.

The online claim that this test was an extreme violence test is completely false.

This emergency braking maneuver occurred at 100 km/h.

It is a mandatory subject in the routine safety test for civilian passenger vehicles.

Three brand new, undelivered Zunmiao L900s.

Standardized operating conditions, standardized speed, and standardized operation.

The brake pedals of all three vehicles broke.

The critical stress at fracture is 1612 N.

It is lower than the national safety standard of 2000 Newtons for static load.

The test included a comparison of multiple car models currently on the market.

Repeated braking under the same working conditions.

The pedal structure is intact, with no deformation or damage.

The final conclusion is clear and straightforward.

No violent testing, no violations.

The core issue is that the vehicle components are not designed to meet strength standards.

The evidence is complete, the data is transparent, and the facts are irrefutable.

After this post was published.

There was still a little space left for floor cleaning.

Completely reset to zero.

The entire automotive testing and automotive industry circle.

It instantly caused an uproar.

Our gaze shifts back to the smoking room on the top floor of the Chrysanthemum Group building.

Rossi stared intently at her phone screen.

Looking at the countless sarcastic comments everywhere.

Looking at the two trending search terms that remain high.

My scalp tingled and my whole body felt cold.

I have been working in this field for many years.

He had never experienced such an outrageous PR disaster.

Low-class, ridiculous, and deadly.

He did not hesitate at all.

I dialed the number of the person in charge of public relations directly.

The call connected instantly.

Rossi's suppressed anger finally erupted.

His tone was icy and chilling.

"Why did the copy you sent me include internal notes?!"

The public relations manager on the other end of the phone.

His voice trembled uncontrollably.

Feeling deeply wronged, yet daring not to defend herself.

"Mr. Luo, that's our internal layout marking text."

I reminded you several times before sending the file to you.

Make sure to delete the notes before copying and publishing!

Rossi's anger surged to its peak.

He interrupted her sternly on the spot.

"A reminder? I skimmed through it the whole time and didn't see it at all!"

It's too late to say anything now.

Screenshots were taken from the entire internet and then reposted across the entire internet.

Millions upon millions of people have already seen this joke.

Spilled water cannot be gathered up again.

He quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

Deleting Weibo posts is tantamount to destroying evidence out of guilt.

This will be interpreted by netizens as a deliberate attempt to cover up mistakes, further confirming a perfunctory attitude.

I will not delete my Weibo posts.

We should just let this social media post continue to escalate.

He has been subjected to constant ridicule from the entire internet.

There are pitfalls on both sides, and neither advancing nor retreating leads to a dead end.

Rossi gripped her phone so tightly that her knuckles turned white.

The approach is soft public relations, playing the victim and apologizing.

It has completely collapsed.

Since gentle stop-loss is ineffective, the only option is to fight head-on and turn the tide.

He immediately dialed the internal group call.

Bring in all key personnel from the legal and public relations departments.

The moment the call connected.

Rossi gave the order directly.

"The public relations department immediately drafted a new statement."

Make a clear statement to the outside world.

The test conducted by Dongchedang contained serious operational irregularities.

Manually applying lateral force to pry open the brake pedal is considered an unconventional abuse test condition.

The vehicle itself has no design flaws or quality issues.

The public relations manager on the other end of the phone panicked.

He quickly spoke up to dissuade them.

"President Luo, you absolutely mustn't!"

Three test vehicles broke at the same location, and all complete data has been released.

Industry insiders can see right through this: forcibly shifting the blame to the testing party will only trigger wider industry controversy!

Rossi was already consumed by rage.

They completely ignored all advice.

He just wants to find someone to take the blame.

All quality issues must be completely eliminated.

His tone was firm and left no room for argument.

"Publish it according to my original words."

I will bear full responsibility for all consequences.

Once the order was given, no one dared to disobey.

Less than three minutes.

Hongmeng Smart Mobility's new official statement is now online.

The entire article adheres to a single core argument.

The test operation was carried out in violation of regulations, resulting in deliberate damage to the vehicle.

It has nothing to do with the quality of the vehicle itself or its safety design.
