The post had gone viral, obviously. The live stream and her social media post on the incident were hovering around 10,000 reactions, 16,000 shares and over 3,000 comments.
This was not to mention the other people who were posting about it separately.
"This is spreading like wildfire," Qian Meng said under her breath.
About the news impressions, there were over 70 articles written in big and small publications. Video clips had been posted and quoted. The overall tone of the articles was negative. Not one came in support of Venus.
Among prominent fashion bloggers and the like, there was some outrage as well.
A popular fashion and accessories blogger posted: [I have seen really badly dressed people walk into Venus outlets. It's no excuse for someone to be kicked out. This is just terrible bias. Doubly shameful that we are in Shanghai, a liberal city with a mixed and cultural soul.]
