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?

grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
