Chapter 328: I'm the best in the world

Mariana was not jealous either, as she had won the first place before, and Ana had no problem with it, but rather had fun with it.

Her behavior in front of her friends and outsiders was different.

-I am the best in the world -Ana said proudly.

Mariana smiled.

The eighth edition of the contest was over.

When Ana won the first prize, she dragged Mariana to go celebrate.

They grilled on the barbecue and opened the beer.

-Cheers," said Ana happily.

Mariana picked up her glass and clinked it with hers.

The two were halfway through the meal, talking and laughing, when Mariana's phone suddenly rang.

Seeing that it was a colleague calling Mariana, she also wondered for a moment, what else was going on at that moment? Overtime was already over, wasn't it?

-Hey, what's going on? -said Mariana with the same soft voice as always.

-Something happened, where are you?

The man on the other end of the phone was so anxious he was sloshing with sweat.

-I'm having dinner with Ana," Mariana heard that sounded very bad and continued asking. Is there something wrong at the company?

-Isn't there? -The last charity clothing sale was reported to be of poor quality and children who wore it for a long time would get cancer or acute leukemia!

The colleague spoke like a machine gun, in a hurry and with great anger.

Mariana froze.

-How is that possible? How can you get leukemia from wearing a dress? The quality of our garments is guaranteed.

It didn't make any sense that the quality of the clothes could be so bad as to cause a skin disease. Even if the cancer was internal, it would be a respiratory problem.

Mariana frowned, she knew perfectly well that this matter had been done by someone on purpose.

-Yes, but something is still wrong! -the person who was there said urgently- Go back to the office first, it can't be cleared up over the phone.

Mariana nodded, anxiously picked up her bag after hanging up the phone and said:

-We will meet next time, there is a problem in the company.

-What's up, do you want me to drive you there," Ana said worriedly.

-All right, I'll talk to you when I have time.

-Okay, then take care of yourself on the way," Ana waved her hand.

-Okay.

Mariana answered without looking back and left, today she came in Ana's car and had to take a cab to go to the office.

When she was in the car, Mariana took out her phone and looked at it.

One of the parents posted pictures of her son's illness in the hospital and her son's diagnosis of leukemia, claiming at first that her little boy was fine, that she had done a good deed and that she had bought Mariana's clothes for charity for her son to wear.

As a result, after a while, the little boy became ill.

None of the family members have it either, so there could be no genetic predisposition.

The child became ill while wearing the clothes sold by Mariana. Now the clothes had been sent for inspection and they hoped that justice would be done.

Mariana pursed her lips tightly at the word justice and exhaled.

She wants justice too!

Once this news came out, the Elamorad company was considered to be in a public relations crisis, the kind that would go bankrupt if they weren't careful.

When Mariana arrived at the office, the director was instructing the public relations department to control the situation, while asking for an investigation into the veracity of the incident and the motives behind it. -What is the situation now? -Mariana approached to inquire about the situation.

-It's very grim," the manager replied sadly.

Looking at the crowded crowd and the rumors flying all over the Internet, Mariana pursed her lips.

-First call the police, hire a lawyer and clean up some marketing numbers that are being deliberately hacked.

-That's already being done," someone replied.

-Let's call an emergency conference," Mariana said firmly. In this matter, it is necessary for everyone to realize that I am the main manager of the sale of charity clothing, otherwise the news will become even more scandalous.

The company considered that there was nothing wrong with what Mariana had said, but everything was going wrong and could not be left in Mariana's hands.

In the end, the director decided to ask for the opinion of his superiors.

The response received was to call an urgent press conference to make the attitude clear first.

Mariana received the response from the director informing her that she was ready and nodded her head to indicate that she was ready as well.

At the launch site.

Faced with countless flashes of light and questions from the reporters, Mariana did not show a faint heart or any other expression.

She faced the reporters calmly and serenely.

-About that online incident, our company is doing our best to trace it, and we are also concerned about the sick child. But at the moment, this matter is still under investigation. We will not shirk our responsibility, but specific measures will be taken when the authenticity of the investigation results come out. Please do not believe in one-sided words until the results are available.

After Mariana finished speaking, the company representative also said that if the result of the investigation of this matter was a company issue, Elamorad Company would be responsible, but malicious slander would be liable.

The conference was brief.

After the press conference, Mariana had a headache.

Because with this incident, all kinds of negative news about the Elamorad company emerged.

There were real publications, as well as false and unreal ones.

Mariana investigated during the night and found the address of the family's information. They said they were taking the child home to raise him now that the chemotherapy was no longer working. This seemed strange to Mariana.

It was another sleepless night for her.

The next morning.

Mariana came out of her room in low spirits.

Leopoldo, who was having breakfast, saw that she had dark circles under her eyes and frowned.

-Didn't you sleep well?

-Well, I couldn't sleep a bit with that public service thing. I'm pretty worried about that kid. Since he's not going to chemotherapy now, I want to check on him," Mariana explained with some concern. -Do you need help?

-No, I'm just going to take a look, there shouldn't be any major problem," Mariana politely declined Leopoldo's kind offer.

After breakfast, she followed the direction to the sick boy's house.

Ding dong, ding dong!

-Who is it? It's too early, who do I need if you are not sleeping? -A grumpy voice came from the house.

The old door was pushed open and a man with a black eye opened the inner door.

-Hello, I'm from Elamorad Company and the senior manager of the last charity clothing sale. I'd like to ask you a few questions," Mariana said politely.

The man looked Mariana up and down, rolling his eyes for a moment, as if he was calculating something.

Then he opened the door nonchalantly and said:

-Come in.

The man did not speak politely.

Mariana entered. The smell was not very pleasant and the house was very empty, which coincided with the statement that the family had run out of anything to cure the illness. -Have a seat," the man said, pointing to a rotting sofa.

Mariana didn't mind sitting down.

Then a woman came out, pointed to Mariana and asked dissatisfied:

-Who is she?

-The one who sells clothes," the man answered.

Hearing this, the woman hurriedly rolled up her sleeves and shouted:

-How dare you come here! Our family has not even come to your door to settle accounts.
