Due to this unexpected popularity, the flower shop became a famous internet sensation in J City.
Perhaps because of the unique roses mixed in, there were a lot of repeat customers and unusually high praise.
Today, a revelation quietly climbed onto the social media trending list:
#Take a Closer Look at J City's Internet-Famous Flower Shop#
It was posted by a prominent social media user known for evaluating social events:
The recent hot flower shop in J City, everyone knows.
[Never would I have thought that they would use human tragedy for marketing.]
[By capitalizing on a certain case to buy their way onto the trending list, they feigned injury and stopped operations to elicit public sympathy, leading netizens to call for supporting their business.]
[Then, the day before reopening, a certain couple announced their relationship, coincidentally revealing that they had dated at that flower shop.]
[It must be said, the marketing behind this is truly expert. Recently, they've been promoting how fresh the flowers are and how long they last.]
[I really laughed. If they can't find a reason for marketing, they shouldn't resort to such lame excuses.]
The comment section was a storm of controversy:
"Mm." [Huh? Someone is already envious and trying to smear 'Cloudside Flower Shop'?]
[What is this? Paid to smear? Unfollowing, unfollowing.]
[I think the blogger didn't say anything wrong. Cloudside did become popular through marketing, didn't it?]
[I also think so. Relying on the heat from that case, who knows what really happened that night. She says severe injuries, and they're severe injuries?]
[Not true. Doesn't the internet have a memory? The pictures from that night showed the whole shop red from the outside. You call that faking injuries?]
[But, really, is it not marketing to say the flowers are fresh and last long?]
[Replying to the above, it's really not marketing. I bought sunflowers on the 2nd of last month, and it's been a month today, and they're still fresh. Here's a picture as proof.]
When I found out about this, I was swamped with work.
In my mind, I heard Olive's agitated voice:
[I'm so angry, Jaylyn is really annoying!]
[She actually paid someone to smear the manager and the flower shop! Ahh!]
[Olive found the chat records of the blogger receiving payment. Watch as Olive exposes her.]
[Manager, stop being busy. Quickly, work with Olive to post the medical records. Add fuel to the fire and let him spread false rumors.]
I agreed readily: [Olive, you're great! I'll do it right away.]
Putting down my work, I picked up my ringing phone.
First, using the official flower shop account, I forwarded the social media post created by the anonymous account fabricated by Olive, then attached the medical record photos from the time, captioning it:
[Truth will out, but I never thought Cloudside would be worth 10,000 dollars to smear, shocked.JPG.]
He then saved the picture of Jaylyn transferring money to the blogger and sent it to Mr. Monroe.
His daughter had done something terrible, he had to provide an explanation.
Noticing the glances from nearby customers, I apologized:
"Sorry, there was a mad dog biting people just now. I had to deal with it."
The customers waiting nearby had seen the Weibo post and started laughing:
"Hahaha! Manager, you're awesome, your sarcasm is off the charts."
"That's right! They're spreading false rumors. Don't I know if the flowers are fresh or not?"
"They're just jealous of the good business."
……
After finishing my work and sitting down for a brief moment, the wind chime at the door rang again.
I had to get up and greet them: "Welcome to Cloudside Flower Shop. Feel free to look around..."
When I saw it was Darion, the rest of my words stuck in my throat.
"Mr. Dodson, are you here to buy flowers again?"
Since my release from the hospital, Darion has come to the shop a few times.
Once was to inform me that the criminal had been executed, and the other times were mostly to buy flowers.
At first, I thought he was buying flowers for his girlfriend, so I teased him:
"Mr. Dodson, the roses are looking great today. You've been sending orchids so many times, considering sending roses to your girlfriend this time?"
Who knew he would say: "Carolina, I don't have a girlfriend. The flowers are for my mother."
That moment was peak embarrassment, and I cursed my own mouth!
Today I'm not here to buy flowers, but I thought you, Carolina, might need some help, so I came to check on you.
Darion's soothing voice brought me back to my senses.
"Mm." "Hmm? Could you elaborate, Mr. Dodson?"
Seeing my perplexed look, Darion asked:
"Didn't you check phone today?"
I nodded: "Yes, I did."
"Mm, I came to ask if you need legal assistance. I have a highly competent lawyer friend with a very high success rate."
Understanding the concern in Darion's words, I smiled at him:
"Thank you, Mr. Dodson. I don't need it for now. Rest assured, I'll contact you if necessary."
Mr. Monroe hasn't responded yet. If he can't handle Jaylyn, then I definitely will sue Jaylyn. A mad dog has come to the door, and it won't learn its lesson without a few whacks.
