My Wife Is a Superstar
Chapter 489

In the late evening, Nan Chen decided to bring the exhausted kids home. Right then, he got a callfrom Jiang Zhe out of the blue.

After ending the call, he drove the kids to Commoner Residence and asked the maids to take care ofthem before returning to the company.

Some executives from Beauty Cosmetics, a company under Nanshi Corporation, had already arrivedat the meeting room, waiting for Nan Chen to hold an emergency meeting.

Before the meeting started, one of the employees played a video that showed a woman in herthirties crying in front of a camera while claiming that ever since she used a series of BeautyCosmetics’ skincare products, her skin had become 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 hadsome sort of allergies. However, there were no signs of ulcerations.

She blamed 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 treatingher face, she could not afford the lawyer's fees. That was why she resorted to seeking legalassistance from people with a lawyer's qualification certificate online.

After the video ended, another one came up.

It was a fairly pretty second-year university student who also claimed to have skin problems afterusing the same Beauty Cosmetics products. Not only that, but she also announced that she feltdizzy after using the products.

She had no means to seek legal aid but she advised young people to stop using any products fromBeauty Cosmetics and accused the company 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.

The latter instantly stood up as he knew the silent message from his boss. Nan Chen did not wish totalk so he should be the one who would helm the meeting.

Usually, the company could solve such matters like this by themselves, and there was no need torun to the headquarter for a meeting.

However, the matter involved Ning Ran this time as she was the spokesperson for this certain seriesof products.

It was normal to use their own artistes to endorse their products in the business world. The downfallof this strategy was that it would greatly affect both the famous brand of Beauty Cosmetics andNing Ran’s reputation whenever something like this occurred because internet warriors would takethis opportunity to kill two birds with one stone.

The company 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 nothingwrong 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 it comes 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 andonline.”

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, yetthey already ask us to remove our products? They're just gonna believe whatever the women saidwithout solid proof?”

“That's what we've been thinking too. However, we've already received the notice and they said thisincident brings a negative impact, so we have to stop all production and sales at least untileverything's settled.”

“That's outrageous! If we remove our products, doesn't it mean that we admit something's wrongwith them? They should at least investigate so they can prove it to us. We'll face massive losses if westop all productions and sales. What if the result shows that our products are fine? Who'll cover ourlosses 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?”

"No."

Nan Chen figured it out from that alone. Evidently, somebody had targeted Ning Ran and BeautyCosmetics but they were scared of the consequences so they only issued a verbal notice.

A meeting involving the higher-ups was compulsory if they were to close down a company. Apartfrom that, they should send a document to the relevant company.

This process would surely need time, yet they made a decision simply based on what people saidonline.

Even if they were to prove that nothing was wrong with the products later on, the damage done toBeauty 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 already comingher 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 damagingthe 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 Zheunderstood what he meant.

Nan Chen then stood up and left the meeting room without any further explanations, confusing allthe employees.

They wondered if the meeting had already ended. However, when they noticed that Jiang Zhestayed, 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 claimed to be the leader of a certain bureau is a scammer. The fact that you can'tconfirm their identity is proof of that. As such, you don't have to listen to them.” Jiang Zheconcluded.

They finally understood now and were amazed that Jiang Zhe could pick up what Nan Chen hadmeant 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 reallywere to ignore the notice.

“They won't. If you receive calls like this again, you should know that they're scammers. We'll onlytake it seriously if there's a formal written notice with an official stamp. Even if it's an administrativepenalty, 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. Thereare many scammers nowadays, after all.”

“Yeah. Why didn't we think about this earlier?”
