Business at the other malls was booming as customers stopped going to Su Shopping Mall. These malls were elated at the high turnover. They even gave out items from Su Shopping Mall as gifts.

Since Su Dahai was supported by the President, he didn’t seem affected by the slowdown in his business. He bragged to his employees.

“You guys don’t have to worry about this. The people in the Empire are very forgetful. They will forget about this incident after three or five days. Once this is all over, we can hold a big sale to lure them back. Those spineless consumers who are looking for a good deal will come crawling back to us.”

What Su Dahai did not expect was that someone had uploaded this speech on the internet. One of the netizens who responded was an employee in one of the companies owned by Su Shopping Mall who would usually share some happenings at her office on her blog: “I used to be proud working for this company. However, after Mr. Su’s comments today, I have decided to resign from the company. As a citizen of the Empire, I love my country. I’ve attached a video.”

The boss’ comment that day was a big revelation.

What was more important: one’s job or their pride?

Of course, one’s pride was more important.

This was a nationwide matter.

When Su Dahai said those comments, did he not think that his employees were also patriotic citizens? When he said this, did the boss not think that there were patriots in his own company?

He should’ve known. If he was aware, why did he make that comment?

He knew he was paying their salaries. He thought that they would swallow their pride for the sake of their salaries.

Unfortunately, he did not expect them to put their pride as citizens of the Empire before their jobs.

News of Su Dahai’s comments quickly spread like wildfire on the internet.

Yakult: “So this is how this guy sees us. In that case, I’m going to help him become famous. No need to thank me when you’ve become famous, Su Dahai.”

AdorableBlueChild: “Fellow countrymen, be wiser. Don’t let these people use you.”

FemmeFatale: “I must tell everyone around me not to buy any of their products.”

Uncle Li’sRibs: “Boycott! We should all boycott!”

With the netizens spreading the news and calling for a boycott, Mr. Su Dahai became famous overnight.

Some of his previous remarks, which sounded equally offensive, were also leaked on the internet.

WorkingHardToBuildABigHouse: “I joined Su Shopping Mall to make a living, but I’ve had to deal with a lot of harassment in the workplace. Everyone bullied me just because I donated a lot of money for relief efforts after an earthquake.”

ASpoonfulOfFriedRice: “I’ve met Mr. Su Dahai a few times as part of business matters. He is a very arrogant and cocky man. I am not surprised that he’d say stuff like this, but I’m more shocked that some people believe that Mr. Su is right. Those people have no backbone at all!”

UnderTheCherryBlossomTree: “Summer’sEnd recorded this video without the company’s consent. This is a serious infringement of Mr. Su Dahai’s privacy and it is damaging to his reputation. Summer’sEnd, you are undermining your boss’ authority on your blog. Are you doing the right thing? Aren’t you afraid that Su Shopping Mall will sue you? They have a very strong legal team.”

MeowMeowMeow: “This is absurd. Some people just like to suck up to a certain person. He’s not a human, we should just treat him like a dog.”
