Such comments are everywhere. The more I read, the colder my heart feels. I wondered why the number of customers coming to the store has decreased recently; even the occasional visitors are mostly old customers, while others look at me with strange eyes. I never expected that after four or five years of perseverance on my part, and my father's decades of hard work in this business, it could all be ruined overnight because of me.
Although there were a few scattered comments supporting me, they were drowned out in the sea of voices and went unheard. I understand that being a blogger is not easy; they need to attract followers to earn an income, but that's not how things should be done. I swallowed my grievances and filmed a clarification video in my own store. Although the tide may not turn immediately, at least I made an effort.
Unfortunately, by the time I discovered this video, it had already been trending for four or five days. This means I missed the best opportunity to clarify things. Now, no matter what I say, it will seem like I'm trying to defend myself, and the time wasted during this period could easily be interpreted as me potentially "faking it."
But I couldn't just sit back and let myself be wronged. In front of the video, I deliberately picked up the heartwarming restaurant sign that had weathered many storms and began my clarification.
"Hello everyone, I am the owner of the recently popular Red Star Noodle House. I apologize for letting things escalate to this point and for any inconvenience caused. First, let me express my apologies."
"Red Star Noodle House is a product of my father's decades of hard work. I've taken over for about four or five years now. From the beginning, my father aimed to provide discounted services to patients in nearby hospitals. Healthy individuals pay the normal price of ten yuan per bowl, while those who can't afford medical care sometimes pay only five yuan or even nothing at all. I questioned him about this once, but he told me that this is great love; when you help others, they will help you in return."
"Regarding this matter, first and foremost, I want to say I'm sorry. It was indeed me who previously removed the 'Heartwarming Restaurant' sign (showing the sign), which led visitors to think our menu was a 'Yin-Yang Menu' with a tendency to overcharge. However, after he raised this issue, I provided refunds and compensation; logically speaking, this matter should have been resolved."
"But now he has not only exposed the video online but also twisted concepts and maliciously edited it to make me confess guilt without reason, infringing on my rights and insulting my character. With the current heat surrounding this issue, if necessary, I will also use legal means to protect myself."
"Rumors Stop with the Wise. Please think rationally and return to the facts. Thank you all."
Once the Clarification Video was posted, my personal account exploded instantly. Not only did it trend on Trending Topics, but it also quickly reversed public opinion with many people speaking up for me.
"So that's how it is! I thought so; there's no need to take risks over a few bucks!"
"Wow, what a righteous man! Offering patients a discount is completely normal! Their money goes towards medical bills; it's not easy for them to have a warm meal!"
"Is ten yuan for noodles really expensive? Aren't you all eating seafood at other tourist spots? We are all struggling folks; what's with making things difficult?"
"Why do you go to the hospital to eat?" I'm puzzled...
"Ah, Declining Morality. Nowadays, people will do anything for views."
"I'm dying of laughter. My dad runs a barbecue stall; others have to pay for their food, but I eat for free. Go ahead and report me, let my dad refund you."
"If you don't understand, just ask. The owner has already refunded and apologized. What else do you want them to do, kneel down and bow to you?"
"That's not fair either. This is just the owner's side of the story. How does he know where to find a sign that says 'Charity Restaurant' and report it to the Market Supervision Administration? Has the food hygiene been checked? I could do that too!"
"Is there a god upstairs?"
"I agree."
...
Seeing the shift in public opinion, the blogger who originally posted the video in black clothing shared another post with images and text.
