Chapter 489
In thete evening, Nan Chen decided to bring the exhausted kids home. Right then, he got a call from
Jiang Zhe out of the blue.
After ending the call, he drove the kids to Commoner Residence and asked the maids to take care of
them before returning to thepany.
Some executives from Beauty Cosmetics, apany under Nanshi Corporation, had already arrived at
the meeting room, waiting for Nan Chen to hold an emergency meeting.
Before the meeting started, one of the employees yed a video that showed a woman in her thirties
crying in front of a camera while iming that ever since she used a series of Beauty Cosmetics’
skincare products, her skin had be itchy and turned red with ulceration symptoms. Aside from
that, she even said that it triggered her allergic reactions.
The redness on her face was crystal clear on the screen, and her skin did indeed look like she had
some sort of allergies. However, there were no signs of ulcerations.
She med Beauty Cosmetics for producing low-quality products and wanted to sue them, especially
Ding Mi, the products’ spokesperson. But because she had spent all her money treating her face, she
could not afford thewyer’s fees. That was why she resorted to seeking legal assistance from people
with awyer’s qualification certificate online.
After the video ended, another one came up.
It was a fairly pretty second-year university student who also imed to have skin problems after using
the same Beauty Cosmetics products. Not only that, but she also announced that she felt dizzy after
using the products.
She had no means to seek legal aid but she advised young people to stop using any products from
Beauty Cosmetics and used thepany as well as Ning Ran.
When the videos ended, everyone turned to look at Nan Chen.
The man remained silent as he raised his head to look at Jiang Zhe.
Thetter instantly stood up as he knew the silent message from his boss. Nan Chen did not wish to
talk so he should be the one who would helm the meeting.
Usually, thepany could solve such matters like this by themselves, and there was no need to run
to the headquarter for a meeting.
However, the matter involved Ning Ran this time as she was the spokesperson for this certain series of
products.
It was normal to use their own artistes to endorse their products in the business world. The downfall of
this strategy was that it would greatly affect both the famous brand of Beauty Cosmetics and Ning
Ran’s reputation whenever something like this urred because inte warriors would take this
opportunity to kill two birds with one stone.
Thepany dared not make their own decisions so they came to Nan Chen instead.
“First question. Have you guys examined the products? Are the products really that dangerous?” Jiang
Zhe asked.
“No,” replied the head of the quality inspection department firmly. “There’s absolutely nothing wrong
with our products.”
“Have you submitted them for inspection?” Jiang Zhe asked again.
“Yes. But we can only know the results in at least three days.”
“Can we win if we’re sued?” questioned Jiang Zhe.
“Uhh... I’m not really sure when ites to legal matters.”
“What’s the main concern that needs an urgent solution right now?”
“The authorities have issued a notice for us to remove our products from relevant stores and online.”
Hearing this, Nan Chen’s expression turned cold.
Jiang Zhe was also taken aback. “It has not even been that long since the videos are uploaded, yet
they already ask us to remove our products? They’re just gonna believe whatever the women said
without solid proof?”
“That’s what we’ve been thinking too. However, we’ve already received the notice and they said this
incident brings a negative impact, so we have to stop all production and sales at least until everything’s
settled.”
“That’s outrageous! If we remove our products, doesn’t it mean that we admit something’s wrong with
them? They should at least investigate so they can prove it to us. We’ll face massive losses if we stop
all productions and sales. What if the result shows that our products are fine? Who’ll cover our losses
then?”
Everyone remained silent as their gazes shifted to Nan Chen simultaneously.
“What’s written on the notice?” questioned Nan Chen.
“They didn’t write us a notice. They just called.”
Nan Chen narrowed his eyes at his answer. “There’s no written notice with an official stamp?”All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.
“No.”
Nan Chen figured it out from that alone. Evidently, somebody had targeted Ning Ran and Beauty
Cosmetics but they were scared of the consequences so they only issued a verbal notice.
A meeting involving the higher-ups waspulsory if they were to close down apany. Apart from
that, they should send a document to the relevantpany.
This process would surely need time, yet they made a decision simply based on what people said
online.
Even if they were to prove that nothing was wrong with the productster on, the damage done to
Beauty Cosmetics’ image and Ning Ran’s reputation by then would be irreversible.
Ning Ran was not even free from her past scandals yet and now another storm was alreadying her
way.
It seemed that the mastermind used a hit-and-run tactic, retreating after dealing a decisive blow. There
was no need for any follow-up measures as they had already achieved their goal of damaging the
company’s and Ning Ran’s reputation. Everything else was unimportant now.
“So there’s no official notice,” uttered Nan Chen, making everyone look at him. Only Jiang Zhe
understood what he meant.
Nan Chen then stood up and left the meeting room without any further exnations, confusing all the
employees.
They wondered if the meeting had already ended. However, when they noticed that Jiang Zhe stayed,
they thought his presence meant the meeting would continue.
“If there’s no official notice, then who called you?” asked Jiang Zhe.
The people in the meeting room exchanged looks.
“The caller who imed to be the leader of a certain bureau is a scammer. The fact that you can’t
confirm their identity is proof of that. As such, you don’t have to listen to them.” Jiang Zhe concluded.
They finally understood now and were amazed that Jiang Zhe could pick up what Nan Chen had meant
from just the few words their boss had uttered. No wonder he’s the boss’ right-hand man.
“But what if someone pursues the matter?” Even so, someone still had their worries if they really were
to ignore the notice.
“They won’t. If you receive calls like this again, you should know that they’re scammers. We’ll only take
it seriously if there’s a formal written notice with an official stamp. Even if it’s an administrative penalty,
we can still apply for reconsideration. No one can stop a business just from a call.”
“You’re right. We didn’t receive any formal written notice. The caller’s definitely a scammer. There are
many scammers nowadays, after all.”
“Yeah. Why didn’t we think about this earlier?”
