Qiu Yingying is reborn and bound to a learning system.

In late autumn in Shanghai, the autumn wind rustled the leaves. At 8 p.m., Qiu Yingying, a top food livestreaming host on the platform, stood in a well-equipped and well-lit professional livestreaming room, dressed as usual in a simple yet stylish sweatshirt, her high ponytail neat and energetic, and her face adorned with just the right amount of photogenic light makeup.

Behind her, the shelves are neatly arranged with snacks, dried goods, healthy ready-to-eat meals, and children's food that have undergone rigorous selection. All of these products were chosen by the ShiMeiYouPin product selection team after they visited factories across the country, strictly reviewed their qualifications, and personally tasted them before being put on the shelves. Since establishing the ShiMeiYouPin live-streaming room, Qiu Yingying has led her professional team to establish a firm foothold in the food e-commerce field and gain nearly one million loyal fans by adhering to the ironclad rule of "only choosing safe, only choosing genuine, and only choosing reliable products."

As the livestream host and head of product selection, Qiu Yingying adheres to strict principles, refusing to deal with OEM products, substandard or counterfeit goods, or exaggerated advertising. Tonight, she is promoting yam chips, a product developed by her team over six months with an exceptionally high repurchase rate: oil-free baking, non-fried, with clean ingredients, suitable for both the elderly and children, and boasting zero negative reviews and zero safety disputes since its launch, making it a star product in the livestream.

Halfway through the live stream, the number of online viewers exceeded 50,000, and orders continued to climb. Assistant Xia and the control team worked seamlessly behind the scenes, creating a relaxed and lively atmosphere in the live stream room. Qiu Yingying picked up a crisp, took a small bite, and smiled at the camera, saying, "Family members, feel free to buy! This product has been repeatedly verified by our product selection team. We eat it every day ourselves. The ingredients are only yam, salt, and a small amount of xylitol; there are no additives or preservatives. I personally inspected the factory three times; it's a sterile workshop with full compliance throughout the process. Regarding food safety, I, Qiu Yingying, and the Shimei Youpin product selection team can confidently guarantee it!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a glaring comment suddenly appeared on the public screen, like a pebble thrown into still water, instantly causing an uproar.

"Stop bragging! I ate your Shimei Youpin yam chips and ended up in the hospital with vomiting and diarrhea. The doctor said it was food poisoning; the stuff you chose was poisonous!"

The commenter, whose ID is "Sister Li's Home-Style Dishes," has a profile picture of a middle-aged woman and uses strong language, along with a blurry photo of her receiving an IV drip at a hospital.

Qiu Yingying's smile froze instantly, the crispy chip in her hand stopping at her mouth. Having been in the industry for many years, she has seen countless after-sales problems such as damaged packages, unsuitable tastes, and defective packaging. She always refunds, resends, and takes full responsibility in a timely manner. However, the words "food poisoning" and "toxic product selection" directly hit the most fatal red line for food live-streaming e-commerce.

The core of a product selection livestreamer is reputation and safety. Once labeled as "toxic," even the largest livestream will collapse instantly. Suppressing her panic, she softly replied, "Sister, please don't worry, there must be a misunderstanding. Please send me your order number and hospital diagnosis certificate. Whatever the problem, ShiMeiYouPin will take full responsibility!"

She initially thought it was a routine after-sales dispute, but this comment acted as a signal, and dozens of identical comments instantly flooded her screen:

"That's terrifying! I bought some too, thank goodness I didn't eat it!"

"It really is poisonous! Get a refund immediately!"

"Qiu Yingying's product selection is so unscrupulous; she doesn't care about people's lives just to make money!"

"Report! Shut down the Shimei Youpin livestream room!"

Malicious comments flooded in like a tidal wave, instantly turning the harmonious live stream into a battlefield of insults. The number of online viewers surged, filled with onlookers, questioners, and attackers. The control team immediately initiated comment control and muting measures, but the malicious accounts kept coming in relentlessly, making it impossible to stop them. Refund requests piled up in the Shimei Youpin backend, and messages and calls from partner brands poured in, all filled with anxious inquiries.

Qiu Yingying's palms instantly became sweaty, and her fingertips trembled slightly. Looking at the vicious attacks on the screen, and seeing the reputation she and her team had painstakingly built on the verge of collapse, her nose stung, and tears almost welled up. She simply couldn't understand how these yam chips, which had undergone rigorous selection by her team, possessed complete qualifications, passed batch testing, and which she herself had consumed countless times, could possibly cause food poisoning.

She took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down. She was the main anchor of Shimei Youpin, the boss, the support of dozens of employees, and the product selector trusted by millions of fans. She couldn't afford to lose her composure, much less collapse.

"Please be quiet for a moment and listen to me." Qiu Yingying gripped the microphone, her voice trembling slightly but unusually firm. "In my work selling food products and selecting items, I, Qiu Yingying, have never chosen a single substandard product for the sake of profit. Every product we list is consumed daily by myself and my family. Regarding this user's feedback, I promise three things: First, we will immediately remove that yam chips from our platform. Orders that haven't been shipped will receive a full refund, and orders that have already been shipped will receive a full refund without question, with shipping costs borne by us. Second, we will immediately send the same batch of products to a reputable third-party testing institution, and issue a report within 24 hours. The entire process will be broadcast live and transparent; we will not conceal anything. Third, we will immediately contact the user to verify the situation. If it truly was a product selection error on our part, I will compensate tenfold, cover all medical expenses, and bear all legal responsibilities!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than "Sister Li's Home-Style Dishes" spoke again, her tone even more arrogant: "Stop pretending to be a good person! I have the diagnosis certificate and hospital records. You're just ripping people off by choosing toxic food. I've already called the police and contacted the media. Tomorrow, I'll ruin your reputation and that of ShiMeiYouPin!"

Then, the other party produced a diagnosis certificate for "acute gastroenteritis" and a blurry video. In the video, a woman was clutching her stomach and claimed that it was caused by eating Shimei Youpin yam chips.

The situation is completely out of control.

That evening, the hashtags #ShiMeiYouPinLivestreamSellsPoisonousFood# and #QiuYingying'sProductSelectionMistakeLeadsToPoisoning# inexplicably surged to the top of local trending topics, drawing a barrage of criticism in the comments section. Some maliciously smeared ShiMeiYouPin's reputation for product selection, some photoshopped images to spread rumors, and some even doxxed and harassed Qiu Yingying's family.

The partner brand sent a termination letter overnight, fearing being implicated; the platform issued a rectification notice, suspending Shimeiyoupin's live-streaming sales privileges; the entire office building was filled with anxiety among the product selection team, customer service team, and central control team; her parents called, their voices choked with sobs: "Yingying, if you can't handle it, don't force yourself. We won't let you suffer this injustice."

Qiu Yingying hung up the phone and sat alone in the empty live-streaming room. Looking at the brightly lit yet somber office space, and at the rows of carefully selected products, tears finally streamed down her face. She founded Shimei Youpin, specializing in professional product selection, with the initial goal of choosing safe, affordable, and reliable goods for everyone. From establishing product selection standards, inspecting factories, and verifying qualifications, to working tirelessly day and night on live streams, the team had poured countless efforts into it. But now, they were accused of "selecting toxic food," leaving them speechless with grievances.

She wasn't without fear or resentment, but her inner conviction never crumbled. She firmly believed that Shimei Youpin's product selection was flawless, and that the partner brands had complete qualifications and passed testing. She couldn't be defeated by this, and she couldn't let malicious accusers ruin her team and livestreaming room.

At 1 a.m., Qiu Yingying didn't go home but instead convened a meeting with all core employees in the headquarters conference room. Under the bright lights, everyone's face was filled with anxiety. Qiu Yingying wiped away her tears, her eyes resolute: "I know everyone is panicking, and so am I, but I can assure you that there is absolutely nothing wrong with our product selection. This is someone deliberately framing us and maliciously smearing Shimei Youpin's product selection reputation. Now we are dividing up the work and cooperating, and we cannot afford to make a single mistake."

She quickly deployed her team: the product selection team immediately compiled all the qualifications, factory reports, and batch test certificates for the yam chips; the control team contacted a third-party authoritative testing agency to schedule the fastest testing time, and broadcast the entire process live; the customer service team patiently answered all refund inquiries and never argued with users; the legal team comprehensively collected evidence of malicious remarks and rumors; and she herself personally contacted "Sister Li's Home-Style Dishes" to request face-to-face communication and verify all the details.

Qiu Yingying contacted the other party through private messages on the platform. Her tone was sincere, and she offered to visit them at home and cover all medical expenses. She only asked the other party to provide detailed medical records, vomit test reports, and the packaging of the remaining products. As long as it could be proven that the problem was with Shimei Youpin, she would not shirk her responsibilities.

However, the other party's attitude was extremely strange. They refused to meet, refused to provide real evidence, and only resorted to insults and threats. They even demanded 50,000 yuan to "settle the matter privately," otherwise they would continue to make trouble and cause Shimei Youpin to go bankrupt.

Upon hearing "settlement privately" and "50,000 yuan," Qiu Yingying instantly understood: this was not a matter of product selection or quality at all, but a malicious extortion and deliberate smear campaign against Shimei Youpin! She immediately arranged for her team to investigate the truth and ultimately confirmed that it was a complete frame-up.

She remained calm and continued to stall for time, while having her legal team preserve all chat logs, recordings, and screenshots. The other party became increasingly agitated, and their statements were full of inconsistencies. At one point, they claimed to be at the city center hospital, and at another, they said it was at a community clinic. The official seal on the diagnosis certificate was blurry, and the background of the IV drip photo did not match any medical institution.

The next morning, Qiu Yingying, along with the same batch of yam chips, delivered them to Shanghai's most authoritative food testing center, witnessed by fans and her team throughout a live broadcast. From sampling and sealing to testing and analysis, every step was transparent and unobstructed on camera. The testing personnel promised to issue a true and valid official report as quickly as possible.

Meanwhile, the investigation made a crucial breakthrough: backend data showed that "Sister Li's Home-Style Dishes" was not a genuine consumer. The account was registered three months ago, had never made a purchase on Shimei Youpin, and only placed one order the day before the incident. The delivery address was a remote rented apartment, and the contact number was a fake number. Even more suspiciously, the account had a long-term history of interacting with local competitor livestreamers, frequently posting content that disparaged Shimei Youpin's product selection.

All clues point to the same truth: this was a premeditated malicious business sabotage. Competitors, envious of Shimei Youpin's product selection reputation and sales, deliberately staged a "food poisoning" farce in an attempt to frame and ruin the entire live-streaming room.

The clearer the truth became, the calmer Qiu Yingying became. All her grievances and panic vanished, leaving only her determination to uphold her principles in product selection and to clear her name. She would never compromise, never settle out of court; she would use irrefutable facts to expose the other party's lies.

At 3 p.m., the third-party testing report was officially released, with a bright red official seal on the black and white paper: the entire batch of products was qualified, with no toxic or harmful substances, no exceeding the standards, and met the national food safety standards.

Qiu Yingying immediately published the complete report in her live stream, social media platforms, and fan groups, verifying the report's authenticity through the entire live stream and accepting supervision from the entire internet.

Immediately afterwards, she released a long video without filters or makeup, displaying all the evidence: abnormal order records, fake account information, forged medical certificates, conflicting chat logs, negotiation recordings, authoritative test reports, and product selection qualification documents.

Speaking to the camera, her voice was calm yet powerful: "I am Qiu Yingying, a live streamer and product selection manager at Shimei Youpin. These past two days, my team and I have experienced our darkest hour. We were falsely accused of selecting toxic food, subjected to insults and attacks, our live stream almost went down, and our family was harassed. I cried and panicked, but I never forgot my original intention in selecting products and being a live streamer—to ensure everyone's safety."

"I can clearly tell everyone that these yam chips have passed authoritative testing and are completely qualified. The so-called food poisoning is a staged incident, a malicious frame-up, with the aim of extortion and smearing Shimei Youpin. I have all the evidence and have reported it to the police. I will definitely pursue this to the end and will not tolerate it!"

"I do food live-streaming and product selection based on my conscience. I dare not say that I am the best live streamer, but I can guarantee that I have never selected a substandard product and have never let down everyone's trust."

The moment the video was released, public opinion completely reversed.

Those who had previously questioned and criticized her apologized, while longtime fans voiced their support and actively helped clarify the rumors. The platform immediately revoked the penalties and restored Shimei Youpin's product-selling privileges; partner brands apologized one after another and renegotiated cooperation agreements; many users who had applied for refunds withdrew their applications and instead placed new orders to support her. Local media also followed up with reports on the matter, praising Qiu Yingying for upholding the bottom line for live-streaming hosts and product selectors with her actions.

The self-directed and self-acted "Sister Li's Home-Style Dishes" account was directly deleted in the face of irrefutable evidence. The mastermind behind it, a local competitor's livestreamer and team, was identified by the police and ultimately bore full legal responsibility, compensating Shimei Youpin for all economic losses. Their store was also sealed and shut down in accordance with the law.
