On the morning of the second day, when Su Bei had just arrived at the entrance of the company building, an aunt of Chen Xuefei's came to find him to invite him to sit down and drink some tea with her brother. Out of respect for Chen Xuefei, Su Bei had only told her that the Xiao Guodan's lawyer was in charge of the matters regarding the will, and that he was only a notary.
"Mr Su, this is a small token of my appreciation, please accept it." This aunt handed a cheque to him, which Su Bei took a glance at and very generously paid her five hundred thousand.
"I really can't take this money. Before the Vice President Chen died, he just asked me to take care of him properly, I don't know anything else. Furthermore, the will has been confirmed and cannot be changed, I'm sorry, I have to go to work."
The woman took back the cheque in embarrassment and asked: "Is Mr Su thinking that it is too little? Does that brother of mine have anything for you before he dies? "
This was Liu Group's territory, last night, Chen Xuefei had been angry from the inside out, but now, she had actually come to the company.
Liu Hanyan intentionally slammed the carriage door, and coldly said: "Chen Xuefei is his lover, do you understand?"
She looked at Su Bei in astonishment. Chairman Liu had said it herself, it was definitely true, but she did not understand why his niece, who had just caused a problem with his brother's sixty years of birthday, would now link Liu Hanyan's driver?
Su Bei was speechless for a moment, stared at Liu Hanyan, and softly said: "Fool."
Liu Hanyan walked into the building with her high heels, and when she pushed open the door, security guards greeted him with their bows. Only then did Liu Hanyan realize that she had said the wrong thing, she would definitely marry Su Bei in the future, and actually told an outsider that her husband was another person's lover. Although she didn't really feel anything towards Su Bei, but wasn't this simply slapping his on the face?
Su Bei had yet to tell Liu Hanyan about his trip to Chengyu City. The main reason was that Jiang Tao had not yet returned from Lin Nan Branch, so she did not know the exact situation there.
When he went to eat at the canteen at noon, he saw through the window the lonely shadow of Zhou Mann at the corner of the wall. Ever since the two had confessed to each other that day, Zhou Mann was neither as delicate and gentle as she was before.
In the afternoon, Su Bei did not go to work, but of course, there was no difference between him going or not, and no one cared about him either. This was the first time Su Bei came to visit him ever since he got injured.
"Mr Su, you really agree to take me in as your disciple?" Chu Dingtian's injuries had basically healed, but the plaster on his neck and legs had not been removed.
Su Bei laughed: "Do you think that my age is suitable for me to be your master? As your friend or brother, as long as you are my friend, after I settle my personal matters, I will slowly teach you some ways to enter the Ancient Martial Arts School."
Although it was only a verbal promise, it was too important for Chu Dingtian. Not only was this his dream, it was also the dream of his deceased master. Of course, he had heard that after the Heavenly Sage Tian Rong heavily injured him, Su Bei had only used a second to take care of Xiang Tian. This was the difference between them.
And Chu Dingtian also knew, that in this world, the number of people who could train in the Ancient Martial Arts could be counted on one hand, yet Su Bei was actually willing to teach him, the gratitude in his heart was self-evident.
"Brother Su, are you going out?"
Su Bei nodded and said: "I may need to go out for a few days."
Chu Dingtian saw that his expression was somewhat anxious, and asked probingly: "Brother Su, if there's anything you need my help with, you must ask me."
"Thank you, but you should rest in peace and recover from your injuries. I'll come see you again in a while."
Su Bei and Chu Dingtian greeted each other as they returned to the Liu Family Building. Taking the elevator, they arrived at the level of the chairman's office, only to find the door was ajar. There were two familiar figures inside.
A beautiful figure of a woman wearing a high necked jacket with black sunglasses wrapped tightly around her body, but Su Bei was still able to recognize that he was the spokesperson for the White Hibiscus.
Su Bei thought it was strange, and entered without being invited. When he saw Lin Wanqing's exposed face, he was shocked: "Miss Lin, did you not take off your makeup after just coming back from the set?"
"Mr Su, can I understand that you are speaking sarcastically?" The manager, Sister Zhu, angrily looked at Su Bei. If not for his reasons, Lin Wanqing would not have signed the contract with the Liu Group, and would not have fallen to this stage.
"Sister Zhu, this matter has nothing to do with Mr Su. We are only here today to ask Chairman Liu for some words."
Liu Hanyan walked out of the inner office in a hurry, and glanced at Su Bei, beads of perspiration trickling down her forehead.
Lin Wanqing was furious, she looked at Liu Hanyan and said: "Chairman Liu, if you really think this is an exception, I have nothing to say. I think we should not only stop our cooperation, let us meet in court for the rest of the matters."
Su Bei was suddenly a little angry at Lin Wanqing's overbearing attitude. He had something to say, something to say to my wife, something to put on the airs of a celebrity.
Liu Hanyan looked at her apologetically: "Don't be impatient Miss Lin, I have already ordered some people to investigate this incident …"
From their conversation and from Liu Hanyan's call after call, Su Bei gradually found out the ins and outs of the matter.
The White Hibiscus series of cosmetics products that were released by Liu Group were all sold out by the various major merchants, entering the sales phase. Because of the Chen Family incident and the training of the funds, the following products were not available yet, and Director of Operations himself had already coordinated at his branch.
On the other side, Advertising Department Director Faang Leedong had already made a few advertising cases, and was preparing to go to the Jianghai at night. But at this critical juncture, as the first user of the White Hibiscus's series of cosmetics, Lin Wanqing had a severe allergic reaction this morning.
In just the entire morning, Lin Wanqing's face was initially itchy, but soon after, there were small red lumps. She thought it was because of the allergy from eating seafood last night, but when she went to the hospital, she found out that it was caused by an inflammation of her skin.
"Chairman Liu, to be honest, if it weren't for Mr Su, I would have already spread the news to the media. "However, paper cannot protect the fire. This product of yours has a serious quality problem …"
Lin Wanqing's manager, Sister Zhu continued to say: "Hehe, if Miss Lin's face is disfigured, I think this matter will cause a sensation in the entire Jianghai City."
Liu Hanyan was anxious to the point of sweating, "Miss Lin, this … Are you really using our company's products? "
Although Lin Wanqing was the spokesperson, the White Hibiscus products were, after all, the national products that catered to the working class. Someone like her who relied on her looks to live, even if it was used for cosmetics, would definitely be some kind of a beauty.
"Chairman Liu, your Public Relations Manager has asked this question to me countless of times, but my answer is still the same. Could it be that you suspect me of panicking?"
Su Bei immediately pulled Liu Hanyan to the side. He was also confused, but if something happened, she had to handle it immediately.
"Frigid Smoke, has the product been sold on the market yet?"
Liu Hanyan looked at him dumbly: "What do you mean?"
Liu Hanyan was very afraid, she had a faint premonition in her heart.
Su Bei frowned and said: "If Lin Wanqing is not lying, then maybe … There's a problem with all of the products in the White Hibiscus... "
Ah!" "Impossible!" Liu Hanyan lost control and roared. She had spent three years on the White Hibiscus products, and her desire for success in order to change the current situation of the group that was unable to pay off any expenses had been entrusted to her. Even this name contained the longing she had for her elder sister Liu Hanxue.
"Calm down, listen to me …"
"Where's Jiang Tao!? Why hadn't Jiang Tao called back? No, I want to find Jiang Tao. "
Liu Hanyan suddenly felt powerless, the entire item was actually being operated by Jiang Tao, but at this critical moment, Jiang Tao had actually disappeared for five or six days.
Of course, Su Bei knew that Jiang Tao was at Lin Nan Branch Office. He finally understood that the temporary inspection of Lin Nan Branch Office last week, as all the staff and technical equipment had been monitored, had all been premeditated. Thus, he concluded that there was a problem with the entire product line.
Su Bei held her shoulders and said: "Listen to me, this matter is definitely a scheme by someone. Now, immediately call the Market Department and let Zhao Dehai remove all the cosmetics from the supermarkets and shopping malls within two days, then take them back to the Main Company's warehouse to keep them safe. As for the products that have been sold to the common people in two days, they will be reclaimed at a high price. I don't think that they have been sold for much, it's still too late for them to stop. "
"No, no …"
Su Bei said resolutely, "Hanyan, listen to me, we are completely in the dark, if we continue persevering we will only end up in disaster. "Take a step back, reclaim the product, and then get the technician to do the appraisal right away."
"Jiang Tao, did Jiang Tao betray me?"
Calm down, Jiang Tao already went to the branch company last week, and there are already signs that something went wrong with the product. I'll contact her later, quickly do as I said. "If you lose a second, a consumer buys a product, and that adds to the danger.
Liu Hanyan had never experienced such a devastating blow. Not only did it destroy three years of her hard work, it also ruined her position in the company.
After being silent for a minute, Su Bei held her hand, letting her feel a bit of heat. He immediately informed the secretary's office, and all the employees put down their work, quickly helping the marketing department to get rid of the White Hibiscus products.
Liu Hanyan personally presided over the situation. This batch of goods that were on sale were snatched back by Su Bei, and the 20 million worth of cosmetics products were all piled up in the major shopping malls. All the people from Liu Group Main Company and the subsidiary market were hurriedly running.
In the evening, 90 percent of the problem products were recycled and stored in the warehouse.
After walking out of the warehouse, Liu Hanyan heaved a sigh of relief and said to Zhao Dehai: "Tonight, don't sleep at all in your Market Department. Go to the television station's newspaper and the online forums to release news, and let all consumers who have purchased products, regardless of whether they use it or not, take it back according to the original price of twice the product."
"This …" Zhao Dehai was also confused. He was pushed out of the camp by Hong Wei, and was not able to enter Liu Hanyan's eyes. He had to guard the market with a pure heart and few desires.
"What do you mean, do it."
