526: Chapter 526: Undercurrents 526: Chapter 526: Undercurrents Although Fang Bai was confident, Xia Chenyu still felt sowhat uneasy.
After all, whether they could overco the crisis was crucial to the future developnt and even the life and death of Beauty Company; there was no room for oversight.
Zhao Xiaong and Wu Xiuyun were also watching Fang Bai.
They couldn’t think of any way he could turn around the extrely unfavorable situation at hand.
Discussing solutions to the company crisis with Fang Bai was ant to be a very secretive affair.
However, Xia Chenyu had not kept it from Zhao Xiaong and Wu Xiuyun but let them participate as observers, which showed imnse trust in the two won.
Zhao Xiaong and Wu Xiuyun were both intelligent won who understood this very well and were deeply grateful for Xia Chenyu’s trust.
“In extraordinary tis, extraordinary asures are required!
I plan to go see President Li Dongyang and those so-called ‘victims’ to understand the situation…
Chenyu, arrange for soone to purchase a set of eavesdropping equipnt I need…
By tomorrow morning at the latest, I will bring you good news!”
Fang Bai said with a mysterious smile on his face.
Xia Chenyu knew Fang Bai had a wide array of connections and thods.
Hearing his words, she understood what he was planning and replied with a smile, “The item you need will be delivered in a while.
Tomorrow morning, Xiao ng, Xiuyun, and I will be waiting here for your good news!”
……
That afternoon, the results ca back for the costic products that Beauty Company and several victims had sent for testing together.
The results were obviously unfavorable for Beauty Company, as there were severe issues with lead and rcury levels in those products.
Prolonged use could cause symptoms such as skin allergies and poisoning.
Once the test results were published, public opinion erupted, and the dia was filled with denunciation.
Beauty Company, once glorious, was suddenly thrust onto the cusp of a fierce public outcry, facing the threat of being attacked from all sides.
Reporters from all over Huaxia also acted on the news, bringing their equipnt to camp out in front of Beauty Company’s headquarters, hoping to get firsthand information.
anwhile, the doors of Beauty Company remained tightly closed, shrouded in silence, with no sign of any executives making an appearance.
At the sa ti, in Yanjing, Minister Lu, a man known for his integrity and impartiality, was also paying attention to the situation.
After the test results from the Zhongzhou inspection departnt were released, he was preparing to make a statent on the matter and demand a thorough investigation into Beauty Company.
However, after receiving a phone call from Fang Bai that day, he put the matter on hold.
As the parent official of Zhongzhou City, Lu Xinghe also did not make a tily statent on the matter but chose to remain silent, making his attitude all the more intriguing.
……
At dusk, a black sedan slowly drove into a luxurious estate in Zhongzhou City and stopped in front of a golden and resplendent European-style villa.
When the car door opened, a middle-aged man in a suit and with a potbelly stepped out.
It was Li Dongyang, the Vice President of the “Heavenly Daughter” group company.
“President Li, why have you only arrived now?
President Shen has been waiting for you for a long ti…
My, my, it’s been just a few days, President Li, but you’ve beco more handso and dashing, absolutely captivating!”
A beautiful young girl, in the bloom of youth, stepped out in high heels from the villa, her slender waist twisting, her steps light and graceful.
Seeing Li Dongyang, her face spread into a fawning smile as she spoke in a coquettish voice.
“Haha, Secretary Wang, you’re getting better and better at sweet-talking!”
Li Dongyang chuckled, leaning close to Secretary Wang’s ear and whispering, “I went to France on a business trip a few days ago and bought a necklace by the way.
I’ll give it to you later!”
“Thank you, President Li!
You’re too kind!
Tonight, if you have so ti, I would like to invite you out to dinner to express my gratitude!”
Secretary Wang gave Li Dongyang a aningful look, then said, “President Li, President Shen is waiting for you inside!
Let’s talk later.”
“Sure, sure!
Let’s et President Shen first!
We’ll chat…
in private later…
Hehe…”
Under Secretary Wang’s guidance, Li Dongyang entered the villa’s living room.
The villa’s living room was expansive, studded with gold and silver, radiating endless opulence and luxury.
Gushes of warm air occasionally swept through, lulling one towards slumber.
A handso young man in his late twenties, dressed in casual ho clothes, was lying lazily on the sofa, holding a cup of tea, savoring it slowly.
“President Shen, while I’m out there braving the snow and wind on business, you’re actually basking in such luxury here!
I’m envious!”
After entering the villa’s living room, Li Dongyang casually took off his coat, tossed it to Secretary Wang, and then sat down opposite the handso young man on another sofa.
“You’ve worked hard, President Li!”
The handso young man sat up straight, smiling as he asked, “How did things go?”
“You can count on when it cos to handling affairs,” Li Dongyang tapped his chest, his face showing a trace of ruthlessness as he said, “Even if we don’t bring down Beauty Company completely this ti, we’ll make sure it’s severely weakened!”
“President Li, please have so tea!”
Secretary Wang smiled, presenting a freshly brewed cup of tea to Li Dongyang with both hands.
As Li Dongyang took the tea, he casually stroked Secretary Wang’s hand, clicking his tongue, “So smooth!”
Seeing Li Dongyang openly flirting with his secretary right in front of him, the handso young man wasn’t annoyed.
He simply smiled indifferently and asked again, “Any reaction from Xia Chenyu?”
“Nothing much!
In cases like this, she’ll have no choice but to apologize, offer compensation, and admit that there’s a problem with her products…” Li Dongyang took a sip of tea, laughing as he continued, “I’ve heard that Beauty Company will hold a press conference tomorrow morning.
We’ll see how Xia Chenyu handles it then!
Hehe, it’s best for her to admit her mistakes honestly.
Otherwise, the more she tries to explain, the worse the impact will be, and she’ll end up ruining the brand she worked so hard to build!”
“We can’t be careless!
My half-sister is no simple character,” the handso young man sighed, “Years ago, her company was on the brink of bankruptcy, but then it soared to success, rising abruptly and taking us by surprise in the Shen Family.
We’ve invested a lot of money and have been planning this for a long ti.
We must bring down Beauty Company, otherwise our market share will continue to be squeezed and eroded by them.”
