Lin Qingwan's face darkened.
As she had suspected, Jiang Yutong, unable to target her at the company, had now set her sights on Little Xuan.
She wanted to take Little Xuan away, to make her suffer and grieve...
Jiang Yutong was truly cunning!
However, Jiang Yutong's goal of making it impossible for her to ever be reunited with Little Xuan would never come to pass.
Because Little Xuan was willing to attend her celebration banquet, which indicated he was willing to repair their sibling relationship.
It was only a matter of time before Little Xuan acknowledged her as his sister again.
Time ticked by, second by second.
Finally.
The results were ready.
A test report was printed out.
"Mr. Zhong, what's the result?" Jiang Shuqin asked eagerly. "Are Wan'er's skincare products all plant-based, with no added chemicals?"
"That's correct. The raw materials for this skincare product are all plants," Zhong Yan nodded.
A smile appeared on Jiang Shuqin's face.
She declared loudly, "I told you the skincare products my daughter developed have no issues at all. Everything that just happened was a deliberate setup and slander by someone with ulterior motives."
Jiang Shuqin looked towards Lin Xuan, implying meaningfully, "Truth will out. No amount of scheming and framing is useful."
A reporter noticed the direction of Jiang Shuqin's gaze and asked, "Ms. Jiang, you've been staring in Lin Xuan's direction. Do you think the incident with Mrs. Chen and the trending topic were both arranged by Lin Xuan?"
Jiang Shuqin sneered, "Whoever arranged it knows it in their heart. After the celebration banquet, I will report it to the police. The police will then find out who was behind it. I hope all you reporters will follow up thoroughly and urge the police to uncover the schemer, lest they use their connections to escape."
Once the police investigation revealed that Lin Xuan and Jiang Yutong had conspired to slander Wan'er and her company, she would definitely join forces with major platforms, media outlets, and Lin Xuan's business competitors to publicize this matter extensively, making it impossible for Lin Xuan to suppress it. She believed Lin Xuan would be utterly disgraced.
The reporters frowned.
Judging from Jiang Shuqin's tone, it really seemed like Lin Xuan was behind this.
That couldn't be, could it?
Someone as upright and honorable as Lin Xuan, how could he possibly do something as immoral as slandering others?
However... given the feud between Lin Xuan and the Lin family, it wasn't entirely impossible for Lin Xuan to scheme against Lin Qingwan's company...
Lin Qingwan did not refute Jiang Shuqin's words at all.
She also wanted the police to investigate properly.
To expose Jiang Yutong.
Then she could use the fact that Jiang Yutong, as the second daughter of the Jiang family, was targeting her to stir up publicity and increase the fame of her skincare products.
Damaging Jiang Yutong's reputation while boosting her company's skincare brand awareness would kill two birds with one stone.
Lin Qingwan pulled her thoughts back, walked to Mr. Zhong's side, and said with a smile, "Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Zhong. Since my skincare products have no issues, I can rest easy."
"I would like to invite you, Mr. Zhong, to stay and continue attending my company's celebration banquet. Do I have this honor?"
Zhong Yan frowned and said, "Not so fast. I haven't finished speaking."
Lin Qingwan asked with a smile, "What further instructions do you have, Mr. Zhong?"
Mr. Zhong stated, "This skincare product has a problem."
Boom!
The crowd in the hall erupted.
"What's going on? Does Mr. Zhong mean those skincare products are indeed related to Mrs. Chen's and the others' skin damage?"
"Right, Mr. Zhong only said the skincare products are entirely plant-based earlier, but he didn't say they were problem-free."
"If that's the case, then Jiang Shuqin popped the champagne too soon."
At the same time, a wave of anxiety rose in the hearts of the society ladies present.
They had also been using the Supreme Series skincare products on their faces for a long time. If the products were problematic, what would happen to their faces?
Would they end up disfigured like Mrs. Chen?
The thought of Mrs. Chen's face covered in pustules and pus made their own faces pale.
"If it's true, what should we do? Will my face be ruined too?" one society lady panicked.
Another society lady took a deep breath and said, "Don't panic. Director Zhong Yan hasn't said what the specific problem is yet. Perhaps it's just a minor issue, unrelated to facial disfigurement."
Hearing Mr. Zhong's words, a strong sense of foreboding surged within Lin Qingwan.
She frowned and asked, "Mr. Zhong, what do you mean..."
Zhong Yan explained, "This skincare product is entirely composed of plants. However, there is one component among them that can produce toxicity when combined."
"How is that possible?" Lin Qingwan reacted vehemently. "Every ingredient in it is very safe."
It couldn't possibly have problems.
Moreover, Jiang Yutong was always cautious. How could she allow problematic skincare products to enter the market, affecting her company and the Jiang family's reputation?
And the Supreme Series skincare products were a one-to-one replica of those developed by Jiang Yutong.
There couldn't possibly be any issues.
Besides, her company's R&D team was highly skilled. If there were really problems, wouldn't they have discovered them?
"That's correct. Each individual ingredient listed here is non-toxic," Zhong Yan nodded. "However, when they are mixed together, they produce a strong toxicity."
Lin Qingwan shook her head.
Impossible.
If there was really toxicity, how could it take so long for problems to surface?
"Mr. Zhong, could your analysis be mistaken?" Lin Qingwan asked nervously.
This test today absolutely could not be wrong. Otherwise, the idea that her company's skincare products could cause disfigurement would be deeply etched into consumers' minds.
For the company, this would undoubtedly be a catastrophic disaster.
"Are you questioning my professionalism?" Zhong Yan's gaze turned cold.
"No, no."
Lin Qingwan quickly shook her head in response. "I'm just concerned that you might not have been resting well these past few days, Mr. Zhong, and perhaps misread something."
Zhong Yan handed Lin Qingwan a piece of paper. "Since you don't believe me, have the R&D staff from your company check the skincare product's ingredients. See if this is it."
Lin Qingwan took it, frowning.
She remembered that several of the components listed on this paper were indeed present in her skincare products.
An R&D staff member stood up and said, "Let me take a look."
He went over and carefully examined the contents on the paper.
The R&D staff member checked back and forth several times to confirm.
Two minutes later, he nodded. "Yes, this is indeed the formula. The ingredients are all there, not one more, not one less."
Lin Qingwan's palms were sweaty.
If the ingredients Mr. Zhong analyzed were indeed identical to those in their skincare products, didn't that mean their products genuinely had problems?
Lin Qingwan panicked.
Her mind went blank, utterly unsure how to handle the situation unfolding.
She knew she couldn't let Mr. Zhong reveal the issues with her skincare products.
