"Chinese のスーパーマンが Distribution Appears"

"Smiley face がしすぎる"

"でもビル出げるんだよな..."

A serious post on Reddit analyzed the following: "Some observations about Superman's livestream: 1. He's wearing counterfeit goods; 2. He really loves to laugh; 3. He seems unconcerned about being filmed; 4. What does this mean?"

Top-rated reply:

"It means don't mess with China."

The backend data from Douyin, Kuaishou, Weibo, and Xiaohongshu show that download numbers are surging upwards at a 90-degree angle.

The long row of red and blue ceiling lights at the entrance quickly attracted the attention of the onlookers.

@Daily Hot Topic Report:

[On-site report] Mr. Ma Xiaoming appeared at a shop on a street, where a long line of government vehicles stood outside, suggesting a joint operation by multiple departments. However, according to witnesses, the law enforcement officers appeared serious and hesitant in their steps… More details>>

Please do not spread rumors, use uncivilized language, or bring hats to someone's door; a fine of 2000 yuan will be imposed!

@WildAnalystOldK:

I counted; it wasn't just the fast-track team, but also uniforms from the Censorate and the Court of Judicial Review. What...what kind of work are they reporting? [Doge emoji]

"Judging from their expressions, they don't seem to be in good spirits. (Smirking face)"

In the thirteenth or fourteenth minute.

At this point, several more people came to do the live stream, including some professional internet celebrities.

The atmosphere in the live stream room became even more cheerful.

"Hey guys, look! New trucks have arrived! Urban management, commerce, tax... Holy crap, that looks like the National Development and Reform Commission's logo?!"

(Live stream chat: "NDRC???" "What are they doing? Are they approving projects for Superman?" "The Consumer Association is here too? What is Superman going to complain about?")

User @AngryOldBrotherChattingOnline:

"The cars are lined up all the way from the entrance to another street; the intersection near Tianmei Gediao is completely blocked. Anyone who didn't know better would think there was a two-day conference being held here [facepalm]"

@PearVideo:

[Latest Scene] Outside Mr. Ma Xiaoming's shop, the number of official vehicles continues to increase. According to witnesses, the entire street is now filled with parked vehicles, forcing later arrivals to walk in. Officials from the urban management bureau, commerce bureau, tax bureau, development and reform commission, and consumer association have appeared. Details>>

User @Fashion Blogger Xiaoman:

The civil servants who came today were all dressed quite formally; it seems formal occasions really do require a proper uniform… (forced transition) Click on my homepage for commuting outfit recommendations~

User @Xiaoyu's Shopping Diary:

Help! The street near Tianmei Gediao was packed with government cars today! I couldn't even drive in! Now I realize it's because Superman was there... But what I'm more concerned about is that so many people from different departments were standing in a row, it looked just like school punishment [laughing emoji].

"Hilarious! Those who came later had to stand at the door, obediently lined up in a row. It's such a vivid image!"

At this point in time, some wounded hearts begin to surface.

"Tianmei Style! I'd recognize this lousy shop even if it were ashes! I went to this bastard's shop for a haircut in July and got tricked into topping up my card. They said I'd top up 100 yuan, but they ended up swiping 8300 yuan! After the haircut, that bastard said the 28 yuan wasn't the price for the haircut, but the price for a section! Can you believe it? A person's head can be divided into 600 sections, and they charged 16800 yuan! Calling the police was useless! The express delivery company said it was an economic dispute and they wouldn't handle it, the consumer association's mediation was ignored, and 12345 said they would look into the situation as soon as possible—damn it, because of this crap, I stayed in Yuxi Prefecture for three extra days, and in the end, they only refunded me 800 yuan!"

(126 million likes, pinned comment: "600 zones??? Can a person's hair be divided into 600 zones??? "Is his Tony a geodesist?")

……

"This is the place, it looks so familiar! Last summer, when my mom was getting her hair washed, the guy at the shampoo shop kept trying to get her to top up her card. My mom couldn't take it anymore and said she'd top up 30... But while my mom couldn't see clearly, they helped her process the transaction and charged her over 4000. After they finished drying her hair, they said the chemicals they used were priced by the gram, originally 5600! They made a scene until midnight, then refunded us 500. My mom said forget it, we can't afford to mess with people from out of town. By the way, back then they didn't have this name, it was called Seoul Show."

……

"Damn, I was wondering why she looked so familiar! That bitch standing by the water dispenser, she's a complete beast!"

Last National Day holiday, I wanted to get myself ready for a blind date while I was going back to my hometown, so I went to this shop. They said they had a "National Day Perm and Hair Coloring Package," originally priced at 998 yuan, but only 298 yuan for in-store trials. I thought it was okay, so I sat down.

Can you believe it? Halfway through the perm, the hairdresser told me, "Dude, your hair is too stiff, regular chemicals won't go in." When dyeing, he said, "Dude, you have a lot of gray hair, I'll use a stronger coverage one for you." When blow-drying my hair, he said, "Dude, your scalp seems a bit sensitive, I'll give you some conditioning."

The final bill came to 6800!

I said, "Isn't it the 298 package?" That bastard pulled out a bill and read it to me item by item: "Upgrade the potion for 1200, cover gray hair for 800, soothe the scalp for 600, style treatment for 400, hair styling for 300..." He even charged me 80 yuan for cleaning the cape!

Of course I reported it to the authorities! The police came and said it was a consumer dispute, telling us to negotiate. Other departments? Those few guys were all smiles, saying things like, "We didn't explain clearly enough," "Yes, yes, we'll be more careful next time," "Okay, okay, we'll definitely rectify it," but as soon as they left, there was no follow-up... Hmm, plenty of hot water, clearly they're thinking, "If you're so capable, I'll sit there forever!"

What to do? In the end, I had no choice but to take the 200 yuan and leave, and they even made me sign a 'no dispute between the parties' mediation agreement!

I curse that bitch's whole family!

Let's start with 98.

These individuals' firsthand accounts naturally made them a hot topic in live broadcasts and various media outlets.

"I see, Superman didn't come for a haircut... Superman came for a haircut. (Funny image)"

"Having seen the 'Superman Gets a Complaint' episode, I had a feeling that my boss's teeth might be in danger."

Having also seen "Superman Gets a Complaint," I had a feeling that my boss's online loan limit might be in danger.

"Alipay's Huabei, Jiebei, and WeBank's Weili Loan, did you hear that? Hurry up and implement risk control!"

"Why aren't these guys running? Are they frozen in place?"

"Where to? The International Space Station?"

"How do you drive it? 1201 km/h?"

In just a short while, even more victims emerged!

"I've had bad luck too, but not in Yuxi Prefecture, it was in Anping City, at that 'Shouyi International' on Jian'an Road! The tricks were exactly the same!"

"I've had bad luck in Yunzhong City too. It's the 'origin' of Heping Street. They offered a 2,800 yuan bonus for a 3,000 yuan top-up, but after the haircut, they told me the medicine would cost extra!"

"In Jiangcheng City, at the 'Impression Salon' on Binjiang Road, they promised a professional haircut for 38 yuan, but ended up charging me over 2,000 yuan!"

"..."

This makes perfect sense. Such a well-developed system is the result of generations of practitioners carrying it forward, filling in the gaps, and the total cost must be considerable.

However, Zhang Qiliang doesn't have time to check his phone right now.

Everyone has arrived.

Zhang Qiliang walked out of the store, and the store clerks and the first batch of employees who were officially employed followed him out obediently.

"Who is the chief constable?" Zhang Qiliang asked.

"I am." A man in his early forties with a lean build stepped forward. He had a square face, thick eyebrows, and sharp eyes. He stood up straight, clearly a veteran detective with decades of experience. A thin layer of sweat glistened on his forehead.

“Your colleagues,” Zhang Qiliang pointed to the two rapid response team members and the auxiliary team member who had just responded to the call, “just told me that this kind of thing can’t be filed as a case.”

“This is blatant bureaucratic laziness,” the chief constable replied without hesitation, clearly having already prepared his words. “Faced with this consumer dispute involving fraud, the officers failed to conduct a timely investigation and evidence collection, and failed to verify the business’s operating qualifications and past complaint records. This constitutes a dereliction of duty. If it is confirmed that there was subjective intent or that similar situations occurred multiple times, it constitutes suspected malfeasance.”

“Your colleague also said,” Zhang Qiliang continued, “that there are no security cameras in the cubicles, so we can’t investigate.”

“Inaction, dereliction of duty.” The chief constable’s forehead was covered in even more sweat. “Surveillance footage is not the only evidence. Interrogation records, purchase records, past complaint files, and interviews with nearby businesses are all investigative methods. Using ‘no surveillance footage’ as an excuse to shirk responsibility is a typical case of inaction.”

“Alright,” Zhang Qiliang waved his hand, indicating that the gentleman could get out of the way first. “Which one of the market supervisors is this?”

A middle-aged man, also in his forties, slightly overweight, and wearing a uniform, stepped forward. Whether from the sun or from being frightened, his face was flushed and his glasses were fogged up.

"I am Zhou, the deputy director of the Yuxi District Market Supervision and Administration Bureau." His voice was a little dry.

“That price list,” Zhang Qiliang pointed to the store, “the small print after 28 yuan is only number six at most. You have to be within half a meter to see it. Does that count as clearly marked prices?”

Deputy Director Zhou swallowed hard: "According to the Price Law and the Regulations on Clearly Marked Prices, businesses should clearly mark prices in a conspicuous manner. The size 6 font clearly does not meet the requirement of 'conspicuousness' and is a typical case of misleading consumers. It should be considered as failure to clearly mark prices as required."

Is it reasonable for hair to be divided into 400 sections?

“It’s unreasonable.” Deputy Director Zhou shook his head. “The so-called ‘zoning’ has no industry standards and is an artificially created fee item, which is suspected of price fraud.”

"A haircut costing 11200 yuan, is it because consumers are not living within their means?"

"This is a clear case of price violation and suspected fraud. Consumers have the right to demand a refund for the portion exceeding a reasonable amount. Upon receiving the complaint, our market supervision department should immediately initiate an investigation and conduct a comprehensive review of the business's qualifications, pricing items, and past complaints. The comrades who were on duty just now were seriously derelict in their duties—first, they failed to verify on-site whether the price list was 'prominent'; second, they failed to question the obviously unreasonable 'zoning' pricing item; third, they failed to fulfill their mediation responsibilities; and fourth, they failed to transfer the case to the enforcement team. This is a typical case of administrative inaction and should be dealt with seriously."

"What's the Consumer Association's opinion?" Zhang Qiliang turned to the other side.

A middle-aged woman in her forties, wearing glasses and with a gentle demeanor, but with sweat beading on her forehead, stepped forward.

“I am the secretary-general of the Yuxi District Consumer Association,” the secretary-general said, his voice quite tense. “According to Article 55 of the Consumer Rights Protection Law, if a business operator engages in fraudulent practices in providing goods or services, he or she shall, at the consumer’s request, increase the compensation for the losses suffered by the consumer. The increased compensation shall be three times the price paid by the consumer for the goods or the cost of the services received; if the increased compensation is less than 500 yuan, it shall be calculated as 500 yuan.”

"Refund one, plus three times the compensation." Zhang Qiliang finally looked at the merchant—Tony, whose face was ashen—and with Zhang Qiliang's keen sense, there was no need to ask such a pointless question as "Who is the boss?"

"I'll pay...I'll pay..."

"You can afford to pay?" Zhang Qiliang was a little surprised and looked Tony up and down again. "You'll have to pay at least several million... With your wealth, how can you be so unethical?"

"Several...millions...? How...how could there be so many?"

"This is the only store you've ever run?" Zhang Qiliang asked.

Tony was speechless.

"Where are you guys?" Zhang Qiliang turned his head to look at Sister Rong, who was teething loudly, Xiao Ya, who had a slightly unpleasant smell, the receptionist, and the other four employees: "How many million have you deposited?"

"I...we...we also need millions?" Xiaoya exclaimed in horror, "I...we're just employees..."

"You mean, you only worked here?"

Xiaoya and the others were equally speechless.

How is that possible? In such a lucrative industry, all you have to do is compromise your conscience. Who would be willing to leave?

"We don't have the money to compensate," Zhang Qiliang looked towards Dali City: "What should we do?"

"According to the Civil Procedure Law and relevant judicial interpretations, if the operator's assets are insufficient to fulfill the compensation obligations, Dali City will initiate enforcement procedures in accordance with the law."

"First, a comprehensive investigation will be conducted into the personal assets of all those involved, including but not limited to bank deposits, online funds, real estate, vehicles, equity, and insurance proceeds. The scope of the investigation is not limited to the local area and can be covered nationwide through the enforcement and control system."

"Second, for the property discovered during the investigation, measures such as freezing, seizure, and detention will be taken in accordance with the law. Bank deposits will be directly deducted; real estate and vehicles will be entrusted to appraisal and auction; and equity will be auctioned or forcibly transferred."

"Third, if it is found that the persons involved have transferred or concealed property during the litigation or enforcement process, they will be held civilly liable for obstructing enforcement in accordance with the law. In serious cases, they will be transferred to the relevant authorities for criminal prosecution."

"Is it still not enough?" Zhang Qiliang asked.
