At this moment, a group of market regulators are intently watching the live stream.
Everyone's eyes are glued to the screen, recognizing the place in the video as their jurisdiction.
The recent incident with the added water leaves everyone speechless.
"This needs a thorough investigation!" a leader-like figure declares, slamming his hand on the table with a roar.
"Send some people out now. These traders might create a ruckus; we can't predict what they'll do!"
The live stream continues.
The shop owner's demeanor changes to a picture of sorrow. She seems drained as she addresses Chu Qian.
"I'm so sorry, young lady. My mind's not been right lately, what with the early mornings and late nights. I've become careless!"
She shakes the remaining water out of the bag.
"No more water now, you can trust me. I never shortchange my customers, truly sorry about this!"
She smiles apologetically, her face a mask of gentleness and kindness.
It almost seems like her earlier actions weren't intentional.
The audience in the live stream room is divided.
"I knew it, she seemed too nice to do such a thing!"
"I was wrong about her, how could I!"
"These vendors work so hard, we should understand their struggles!"
"Yeah, business isn't easy these days. Since she's apologized, let's just let it go!"
"The shop owner knows she was wrong, I'm sure the host won't hold a grudge!"
Some defend the shop owner, but many are still critical.
"Just because she earns hard money doesn't mean the host's money comes easy!"
"Regardless, as a merchant, such practices are wrong!"
"We all shared similar experiences, why forgive so quickly?"
"Some people are just too forgiving when it doesn't affect them!"
"Let's be fair, the shop owner is at fault, but it's up to the host to forgive or not!"
"Don't preach about being magnanimous if you haven't been in their shoes!"
Soon, the live stream room erupts with differing opinions.
"We just thought, why not deescalate the situation, especially since it wasn't intentional!"
"Right, don't be unreasonably harsh!"
"Harsh? We're just stating facts!"
"You don't know how tough it is to run a seafood business!"
"These people just want to stir trouble. The poor shop owner made a small mistake, and they won't let it go!"
"Are you even reasonable?"
"These vendors have it tough, don't make baseless assumptions!"
"Exactly, such a hard job, and she still seems so kind. How could she do such a thing?"
"She must be a good person. Let's show a bit more kindness, everyone!"
Watching the viewers' comments, Chu Qian doesn't argue with anyone.
She continues to talk to the shop owner.
"Let's do this: remove all the packaging from the shrimp, the ropes from the crab, then weigh them again. Whatever the weight, that's what I'll pay for, okay?"
