Chapter 77: Chapter 77

Paige Sterling just glanced at Skylar Hughes without saying anything.

At that moment, the security guard led someone in.

It was Miles Morgan, and he literally rolled and tumbled his way into the Sterling Family’s place.

"Paige, there’s big trouble at Penson!"

Skylar Hughes immediately perked up, finally, something was happening, right?

She instantly asked nervously, "What happened? Miles, tell us quickly. My dad’s here too, and he can definitely help Paige sort it out!"

Miles was so nervous he couldn’t speak.

He had tremendous faith in Paige. After the product launch, he monitored the sales more closely even than Paige did.

Penson’s first batch of products sold out in less than an hour, and the second batch hadn’t even come out yet. Newest update provıded by 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹⟡𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⟡𝙣𝙚𝙩

But just this morning, the preorder numbers for Penson’s robots online skyrocketed, scaring him half to death.

"Paige, look at this, it’s this morning’s sales chart. Do you know, the preorders are now booked out six months in advance? Paige, do you realize we’ve hit it big?!"

He knew they’d make a lot, but he didn’t expect it to go this crazy.

Everyone, from the winners of giveaway draws to those who bought the robot with their own money, were looking to use it as a chance to mock Paige.

After using it for a while, they are now all praising Penson online, raising it to a status beyond imagination.

The internet is currently flooded with videos of Penson robots, especially on all kinds of video apps, where Penson’s robots have taken the scene by storm with their unbelievable features.

Even if this was a PR stunt by Penson, they might be able to buy one person’s praise, but they couldn’t have bribed all the consumers, right?

Moreover, it wasn’t just the customers; many big company executives also stepped forward to vouch for Penson.

There was even a professional hater who, to prove that Penson’s materials were trash, disassembled the robot.

But then he wailed online, regretting it deeply.

"The robot’s features are really something else, but I still doubted the materials, so I took it apart. In the end, I still don’t know what material it’s made of, but it’s indeed good stuff. The problem is, I have a degree in engineering, yet I couldn’t put this robot back together?! Internet, tell me, what should I do now?"

In the end, the netizen who couldn’t reassemble it had to contact Penson. A Penson staff member explained that all Penson products come with special anti-theft mechanisms. Once disassembled, they can’t be reassembled and have to be sent to Penson’s headquarters for scientist repairs, yet the repair fee isn’t expensive.

In short, Penson’s t-shirts are known for their quality, but I hadn’t expected their product quality was even more thoughtful.

Robots in Veridia might seem homegrown on the surface, but in reality, they rely on core tech bought from abroad, hence the higher costs.

With Penson’s reputation intact and its features top-notch, it’s priced at a fraction of imported and domestic counterparts. Anyone with a little disposable income can afford one.

Plus, they last for a long time, which explains the booming preorders for Penson.

However, Penson’s official Weibo stated that Penson only produces quality items, so production is slow, and what’s produced cannot meet the demand.

Miles can already foresee how glorious Penson’s future will be.

Take a look at his extraordinary investment insight and see if his friends dare to ridicule him for being useless again!

"Paige, you’re truly amazing! You created such a huge buzz without knowing how to even express emotions!"

Paige gave a quiet smile, "Young man, someday you’ll know, I don’t just create buzz, I am walking news—making you doubt your life with a minor accident."

Skylar Hughes looked completely incredulous.

It couldn’t be true, how could Paige have actually made money?

Paige must have faked the sales chart to fool people!

She’s really gone all out for her reputation.

Jared Sullivan took the sales chart over, his face lit with joy, "Oh, I must put Beau’s sales sheet on my office door to let everyone see how capable my daughter is!"

Paige’s mouth twitched, "Dad, you better not, it’s kind of embarrassing."

But before Penson’s preorder list could hit the internet, another incident unfolded online.

A currently popular young star, who follows Paige, accidentally reposted Paige’s Weibo ad for Penson.

This quickly became trending news, and his agent, upon finding out, was livid and hastily contacted the young star.

"Are you crazy? How can you share something like that? Who knows what that Paige Sterling and her Penson Technologies are about? If your fans end up buying it and it turns out to be garbage, your reputation will be damaged too!"

Even the young star was panicked, "No, it was a slip of the hand, I really didn’t mean to. What do I do now?"

"What can you do? Hurry and go online to clarify!"

Upon going online, he saw something quite bewildering.

Fans were actually thanking him in the comments under the shared Weibo for recommending such a good product from his heart?

The young star was dumbfounded and continued scanning the comments, discovering that many of those who quickly grabbed the first batch of Penson robots were praising them overwhelmingly. The supposed negative publicity didn’t happen.

What’s going on? Could it be that Paige hired trolls to manipulate the comments in his section?

But it didn’t seem like it, as several were his hardcore fans.

Anyway, Penson became a viral sensation, gaining fame out of nowhere as a black horse in the tech industry, even making it to central news.

Those who once said they wouldn’t want Penson’s products even if they were given for free are now eating their words as they can’t even buy them if they wanted to.

And there’s still no word on when Penson’s second batch will be released.

The group ridicule under Paige’s Weibo turned into complete harmony.

However, there are always a few people who criticize for the sake of criticizing, proposing that Penson’s achievements don’t reflect on Paige’s achievements at all. They claim this just indicates the big financial backer behind her is both capable and indulgent, and they are splurging to elevate her image.

But in using such a loss-making strategy to build her up, they figure this backer might soon be dragged down by Penson, right?

Yet as days went by and Penson’s second batch hit the market, Penson remained stable, with no rumors of financial crises breaking out.

Instead, it even won unanimous praise within the industry.

One retired scientific research professor even publicly praised Penson on Weibo, calling it the light of scientific research.

Before the launch of the first batch, Paige had sent this old professor a robot too.

Like most people, he initially didn’t take this robot seriously at all.

But now, he has been completely won over by the robot.

He had spent his entire life in scientific research yet hadn’t reached this level. He had a premonition that Penson would bring Veridia’s research to new heights, so supporting Veridia’s scientific research light was a must!
