On television, a reporter carried a camera to the grain fields. When he learned that the plague had been controlled, he praised Qiu Tong for her efforts!
“Qiu Tong used a modified drone to spray locust pesticide. Not only did it increase efficiency, the equipment was also provided free of charge to help the farmers minimize their losses.”
“The locust pesticide distributed by the government was developed by Qiu Tong’s eldest son, Qiu Xingyuan. He is still in kindergarten and can be considered a young genius!”
The news reported about Qiu Tong and her family. More and more people on the Internet were paying attention to this matter and had given them the title of “Locust Destroyer Hero”. Praise for them could be seen everywhere.
Mayor Shen wanted to throw a banquet for Qiu Tong’s family in celebration.
Qiu Tong found it too troublesome so she refused politely, “I’m afraid my children won’t have time. Thank you for your kindness.”
Mayor Shen was a little surprised, but he quickly put the matter aside and confirmed with her about the locust pesticide spraying in the next few days.
Meanwhile, Lin Shan turned on her puter. Jealousy and resentment clouded her rationality. She gritted her teeth and opened the online forum page, registering an anonymous account to post a thread. Lin Shan uploaded a video of the kindergarten’s entrance onto the Internet. After adding some misleading words, she pressed the send button in satisfaction.
“Qiu Tong used a modified aircraft to spray pesticide to make up for the Qiu family’s mistake!”
“The locust pesticide developed by Qiu Xingyuan has a very serious allergen. Many farmers are still hospitalized because of the Qiu family’s pesticide.”
“Furthermore, no one knows if the allergen will cause long-term physical side effects!”
Lin Shan propped her chin on her bright red nails and looked at the ments below the post slowly increasing. She smiled proudly as the thread went viral.
She wanted to see how Qiu Tong would be able to explain herself this time!
In an instant, the opinion on the internet changed. The red spots on the arms of many farmers were proven to be caused by usage of Qiu family’s locust pesticide.
Qiu Tong’s earlier reputation had risen too high and she was suffering a major backlash now.
Netizens who were jealous of her started all sorts of rumors, attacking and slandering her. Even the three underage children were also implicated.
The rumors mixed truth and lies, confusing the rest of the public. It was easy to lead them to question the Qiu family’s original intention in helping the farmers eliminate the locusts…
In the villa, Qiu Xingyuan saw the ments on the internet and depressedly locked himself in his room again.
Qiu Xingqiao and Little Yu sat in the living room with worried expressions. They did not even want to watch their favorite cartoon. They only sighed quietly.
Qiu Tong saw the rumors on the internet and knew the crucial thing now was to prove Qiu Xingyuan’s innocence. To prove that there was no problem with his locust pesticide.
Only by solving the root cause could they eliminate all those slanders and doubts.
Qiu Tong walked to the balcony and called Mayor Shen. In just two seconds, Mayor Shen answered the call and asked, “Miss Qiu?”
“Did you see those online rumors? I’ve already arranged…”
Qiu Tong interrupted Mayor Shen and asked in a mild voice, “A while ago, you mentioned that you would be holding a celebratory banquet? Is it going ahead as planned?”
“Will the pharmaceutical supervisor in charge of the production of the pesticide attend?”
Mayor Shen replied seriously, “Yes. He’s the person in charge of a major ponent of our battle against the locusts. Of course, he will attend and make a report.”
A prehensive plan surfaced in Qiu Tong’s mind. She said calmly, “Please send me a few invitation cards then.”
“I’ll bring the children to attend.”
