The manager replied, "More than a dozen."
Hearing this, Lin Qingwan's anxious heart settled once more.
So it's only a dozen or so, that's fine then.
"We've sold several hundred thousand units of skincare products, and only these few dozen people have had issues. It's very likely due to their own skin problems. We don't need to worry about it," Lin Qingwan said.
Manager Chen frowned deeply.
But, why did he always feel that things weren't this simple...
"General Manager Lin, should we investigate the specific reasons for their skin reactions?" Manager Chen asked cautiously.
Under normal circumstances, Lin Qingwan would agree with Manager Chen's suggestion, but now...
Lin Qingwan instructed, "Let it be for now. This is just an isolated phenomenon. They might be allergic or it could be caused by other factors."
"Right now, our products are completely sold out. Our most urgent task is to expand the production line and ramp up production of the Supreme Series."
The hype around their company's Supreme Series skincare products was very high. They needed to capitalize on this momentum to sell the products.
Anyone who used this product would surely find it excellent and would definitely repurchase later.
She needed to quickly build brand recognition and grow the company. That way, Little Xuan might agree to acknowledge her as his elder sister.
"General Manager Lin, isn't this approach of yours too risky? If any problems arise, our company could go bankrupt," Manager Chen said with concern.
"Don't worry, no problems will occur," Lin Qingwan stated confidently. "We've already produced several batches of skincare products, and there haven't been any issues, right? Of course, you must strictly control the production line. We're building a reputation, so the quality of the skincare products must be consistent."
"Alright then," Manager Chen nodded helplessly. "I'll go handle it."
He returned to his office.
His assistant, seeing his furrowed brow, asked worriedly, "Manager Chen, what's happened?"
"Nothing much. It's just that General Manager Lin wants to allocate all the company's resources to producing the Supreme Series skincare products and expand the production line again. I have a very bad feeling about this."
If he were in General Manager Lin's position, he would definitely proceed step by step.
General Manager Lin's approach was far too risky.
The assistant spoke up, "It should be fine, right? Didn't General Manager Lin also invest all the cash into producing the Supreme Series products before? And they sold very well later, didn't they? Now many people are waiting to buy the Supreme Series skincare; they definitely won't be hard to sell."
Manager Chen pinched the bridge of his nose. "Maybe I'm overthinking it."
Let's hope nothing goes wrong this time.
Forget it, the company's fate isn't something he should worry about.
He didn't own any company shares. As for his manager position, with his abilities, he could get one at another company too.
Manager Chen dutifully went to carry out Lin Qingwan's instructions.
But ultimately still uneasy, he picked up the phone again. "Send someone to the homes of those customers whose faces are itchy and red to find out the exact cause."
If he didn't investigate, he just couldn't feel at ease.
"General Manager Jiang."
The Secretary walked into Jiang Yutong's office.
"Speak," Jiang Yutong said casually, reading a book.
The Secretary reported Lin Qingwan's company's arrangements to Jiang Yutong in detail.
Jiang Yutong sneered, "Lin Qingwan hasn't disappointed my expectations."
Next, she would watch how Lin Qingwan brought about her own destruction.
"General Manager Jiang, should we do nothing as before?" the Secretary inquired.
"No, we should help Lin Qingwan," Jiang Yutong said with a curl of her lip.
"Help?" Confusion appeared on the Secretary's face.
"That's right," Jiang Yutong nodded.
"Investigate the first-time buyers of Lin Qingwan's company's products. Give them the therapeutic ointment our company developed. Also, sign contracts with them, asking them to temporarily not disclose anything about the therapeutic ointment."
As for exposing that Lin Qingwan's company's skincare products could ruin one's complexion, they wouldn't need to do that themselves.
Whether women or men, everyone values their face highly. When their faces developed problems, they would naturally go after Lin Qingwan's company.
Even if she didn't intervene, with so many cases erupting at once, Lin Qingwan wouldn't be able to suppress it.
A smile curled at the corner of Jiang Yutong's lips. "I've known Lin Qingwan for many years too. When her company has trouble, I should lend a helping hand."
Hearing these words, the Secretary instantly understood.
So, General Manager Jiang intended to delay, allowing Lin Qingwan to invest most of her money first.
Plus the compensation money for the consumers.
It could completely bankrupt Lin Qingwan's company.
And also...
The Secretary asked curiously, "General Manager Jiang, is there a problem with the formula Lin Qingwan's company obtained?"
"Yes," Jiang Yutong nodded.
The Secretary suddenly understood.
No wonder General Manager Jiang was so calm after learning Lin Qingwan had stolen their formula. She was waiting for Lin Qingwan right here.
"General Manager Jiang, this move of yours is brilliant," the Secretary couldn't help but say.
It's truly masterful.
This single move is fatal.
Lin Qingwan definitely has no way to counter it; she can only wait for her demise.
Hah, this is Lin Qingwan reaping what she sowed.
Jiang Yutong said, "It wasn't my idea. All of this was Little Xuan's arrangement."
"So it was Young Master Lin."
The Secretary had an epiphany.
No wonder the method felt so familiar.
Thinking carefully, isn't this the same tactic Young Master Lin used against the Starlight Group?
"Sigh."
Jiang Yutong sighed.
"It's been so long, and Little Xuan still won't acknowledge me as his sister. Once the matter with Lin Qingwan's company is resolved, my interactions with Little Xuan will also lessen. It will be even harder to get him to acknowledge me then."
The Secretary's gaze fell on the book on Jiang Yutong's desk.
The cover read:
["99 Ways to Win Over Your Younger Brother"]
The Secretary: "..."
General Manager Jiang's desire to gain a brother must have driven her nearly crazy.
The Secretary suddenly recalled some TV dramas and novels about older woman-younger man relationships she had seen.
"General Manager Jiang, are you reading this book to get Young Master Lin to acknowledge you as his sister?" the Secretary asked.
"Yes," Jiang Yutong nodded.
"May I take a look?" the Secretary asked.
"Mm, sure," Jiang Yutong nodded.
The Secretary picked up the book and looked.
Seeing the contents.
The Secretary's expression became indescribable.
Just as she suspected.
"General Manager Jiang,"
the Secretary couldn't help but say, "Don't you think there's something off about this book?"
"Off?" Jiang Yutong frowned tightly. "Is there?"
Isn't this a book teaching how to gain a younger brother's favor?

esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.
