Chapter 479: Why Do I Always y the Scapegoat?
People are still talking about the news about Louis and Valentina on the inte, but Lily doesn''t have
more time to pay attention to that.
Director Jarvis has already finished editing the video clip and sent it to her.
This means that HS Company''s new product will enter the publicity period.
The sales of the new product are not only rted to the VAM between HS Company and other
So Lily has to keep an eye on the new product herself.
John has to manage thepany in Country R and talk with Jonathan about Coffey''s body. She can''t
offer much help so she hopes that at least he doesn''t need to worry about thepany here.
Lily doesn''t have the courage to open the video sent by Director Jarvis.
She''s afraid of seeing the person in the video.
Lily also knows that Director Jarvis is very capable, so she directly hands the video over to the Publicity
Department to handle.
Two dayster, Lily gets a sample of the new product.
She has participated in designing the shape and color of the perfume bottle, and even the packaging
box, so she is very satisfied with them.
However, when she gets the new product, she finds a typo in the promotional slogan on the packaging
box. She frowns and says, "What''s wrong with the nning Department? Why is there a typo here?"
E hasn''t left yet. She hears Lily''s words andes over to have a look.
She takes a deep breath when she sees the obvious typo, "Oh my God! It should be ''to make'', but it
was printed as ''to made'' here."
"But tens of thousands of these packaging boxes have already been made, and the workers are still
working around the clock...” E pauses and subconsciously looks at Lily, “What should we do,
President Lily?"
"How could they make such a silly mistake!" Lily rubs her eyebrows with her fingers and says,
"Fortunately, it was noticed before the product gets into the market. Otherwise, we can''t imagine how
the media will make fun of ourpany."
E immediately takes out her phone and says, "I''m going to contact the factory now."
"It''s toote. This batch of packaging boxes is useless now." Lily looks at the box in her hand and
ponders for a while. Then she says to E in a calm tone, "Go ask the nning Department to use the
cover of version B. Make sure to double check the text this time."
"After making sure no mistake is made in the cover, send it to the factory. Ask the workers to work
overtime and make a batch first. If they say there''s not enough time, talk with them and pay them more
if necessary."
"OK." E marks down her words and asks, "President Lily, is there anything else?"
Lily adds, "Put aside everything else first and keep an eye on the factory. Once the first batch of
packaging boxes is finished, ask the workers to start packing the perfumes at once and then ship the
finished products to the counters."
E nods, "OK, got it."
When they''re still talking, someone is knocking on the door quickly for a few times.
"President Lily, are you inside?"
It sounds like the deputy manager of the Public Rtions Department, so Lily raises her voice and
says, "I''m here. Come in."
The door is opened in the next second.
Jasper Harper enters, with a document held tightly in his hand and a gloomy expression on his face.
He is the deputy manager of the Public Rtions Department.
"President Lily, then I''ll just go out first." E turns around and leaves.
After she leaves, Lily looks at Jasper and asks, "What''s wrong? You look terrible."
"Didn''t anyone from the head office call you?" Jasper asks and hands the document to Lily. "A perfume
"How can that be!" Lily says. "The head office bought this form from a perfumer and they signed a
This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.
contract. This perfumer shouldn''t have sent us a form that he''s given to anotherpany, unless he
doesn''t want to stay in this field anymore."
Jasper says, "I think so too, but ... President Lily, please look at this document first."
Lily flips through the document.
It was aint from the Egret Company with a piece of evidence on the back. It shows that their
product came outst month. It hasn''t been sold much, but now its form was stolen by the HS
Company.
An employee of the Egret Company has a sister who happens to be working in the Product Department
of HS Company and has gotten a sample of the new product, so she told her sister that she also
wanted to have a try.
To her surprise, HS Company''s new perfume smelled exactly like a former product of herpany.
It''s the Egret Company that first sold this perfume, so when it learnt that the new product of the HS
Company smelled exactly like its own product, it got angry and sued thetter.
"At the beginning, I thought the Egret Company just wanted to cheat us and extort some money, but I
tried its perfume and found that it smelled exactly like our new product." Jasper says while Lily is still
reading the document.
"The Egret Company even posted a statement on the inte so that everyone knows this news now.
But I''m not sure what happened exactly so I asked my team to follow up on that and then came here to
tell you first."
"Didn''t the Product Department sign a confidentiality agreement? The samples of the new product are
for them to try. How could they give the samples to our rivalpany!" Lily''s face darkens when she
finishes reading the document.
She sent Willow a sample of the new product because she''s not her rival in the same field.
And the sample is just five milliliters, only enough for spraying several times, so it''s impossible for
Willow to give it to others.
"It''s wrong for them to break the confidentiality agreement, but the most important thing now is the new
product. I brought the perfume product of the Egret Company here," Jasper says.
He sprays the perfume on the perfume test paper, flings it a bit, and hands it to Lily.
Lily sniffs lightly and looks very terrible.
The perfume of the Egret Company smells exactly the same as the new perfume they are releasing!
She takes a deep breath and asks Jasper, "Did you call the head office?"
"I did when I wasing up here," Jasper replies. "The head office has contacted the perfumer, but he
denied that he had sold the perfume form to any otherpany. He also said all this happened after
he sold the form to us so it was our problem, not his. But he''s willing to help with the investigation
and provide all the evidence needed."
"The Egret Company started to sell this productst month. If it''s not the perfumer, who else could have
leaked the form?" Lily frowns, "Did someone from the management team betray us?"
"I guess so. President Lily, it''s better to check about that carefully," Jasper whispered. "But the head
office said only three from the management had seen this perfume form. For their close ties to the
"They also said since it happened at the branch office so you had to deal with it by yourself. If there''s
anything wrong, the branch office and you should take the responsibility."
Hearing this, Lilyughs coldly, "Why I don''t get any benefit but always be the scapegoat?"
"What do they mean that these three are close to thepany so it''s impossible for them to leak the
form? What nonsense!"
Jasper shrugs his shoulders, "The Egret Company released its productst month while our new
product is still in the publicity period now, so no matter how we try to exin, it''s hard for us to deny
that we''ve stolen the perfume form."
"Contact the newspapers and websites and ask them to post some other news first to cover this," Lily
says with a cold voice. "Check the staff one by one from the bottom up, including those three from the
management team of the head office!"
"But..." Jasper looks awkward. "President Lily, I don''t have that much authority to investigate them."
Lily closes the document and gives it back to him. She looks indifferent but says in an imposing
manner, "Go tell the head office if we can''t find out who''s betrayed us, we have to admit that we stole
the form from the Egret Company."
"Then there will be no need to sell the new product anymore. We''ll justpensate the Egret
Company. In any case, if we lose the VAM, the head office will be the one suffering the most."
Jasper nods.
Faced with such a serious situation, Lily doesn''t panic at all. Instead, she can still calmly tell him what
to do next. Jasper does admire her in his mind.
