CHAPTER 343

"B-Boss... (heavy breathing) Bad news, boss," the man said.

"What happened Zhang Fei?" Bai Renxiang asked with a furrowed brow.

,m Zhang Fei, the head of the producing department was panting hard as sweat trickled down his forehead to his face and neck. One could see the fear in his eyes and tell that he must have rushed to the CEO's office.

"Boss... There is... bad news," he said between his ragged breath.

"Calm down first and then you can tell me what happened," Bai Renxiang said.

Zhang Fei shook his head as he took in deep breaths to steady himself. Calming down a bit, he said, "Boss, something is... wrong with our skin products. Complaints... Rejection... Sales reduction," he managed to get his message across.

"What?" All three of them shouted.

"What do you mean by that? Why are sales reducing?" Xia Xinyi asked?

"Yes. My whole department was at loss too. We do not know what is going on. But we have been receiving calls and complaints keep coming about our products. Buyers are returning all the products they have bought and are requesting refunds," Zhang Fei explained.

"How can this be? But our products have never had any problems. We have never come across this issue," Bai Renxiang said.

"That is true. But the last hundreds of the products are being returned. It is all over the Internet now. Just this morning we received over a hundred calls and messages from different purchasers. None of their complaints seems good and they are all the same."

"Let me see the online complaints and messages," Bai Renxiang turned to Xia Xinyi.

Xia Xinyi nodded and quickly tapped away on the tablet in her hands. As they were waiting, another knock was heard on the door. Bai Renxiang allowed the person in.

"Song Yan, what do you have to report?" Bai Renxiang asked.

"Boss, the public opinion about our products of last month are terribly bad. The news keeps popping up on the internet no matter what we do to take them down or try to resolve the issue," Song Yan, the head of the public relations department reported.

"What? Last month?" Bai Renxiang asked to clarify what she heard.

"Yes, boss. Last month," Song Yang nodded. She herself was shocked and confused.

"But I thought it was just last week?" Jinhai turned to Zhang Fei in askance.

"Those were the details I got. It was mostly buyers from last week that complained," Zhang Fei said.

"Yes. But it turns out that even last month's products are involved," Song Yang said. "What should we do boss? This is unexpected."

"Call for a board meeting immediately. Zhang Fei get a sample of every product from last month to date. Song Yan, get your department to work. We need all hands to be able to take down the news on the internet," Bai Renxiang gave kit her orders.

"But boss. We have-"

"Just do it, Song Yan. Even if it did not help much, we need to try harder. Jiang Corporation is at stake here," Bai Renxiang said.

"Right on it, boss," Song Yan bowed.

"Everyone should be in the meeting room in five minutes."

"Yes, boss."

With that said, Bai Renxiang and everyone else walked out of her office. The news has spread fast throughout the company and the whole city. Employees were in a state of panic as their heads of departments rushed to the meeting room.

The company was in trouble.

In City X.

A fair lady was sited comfortably in a quiet spot in a cafe. She had her eyes focussed on her phone as she smiled every now and then. She took casual sips from the cappuccino she had ordered. Just then, someone tapped on her table disturbing her lovely moment.

Ye Yumi ignored the person thinking it was one of those jerks that could not keep themselves away from a pretty lady. You can't blame her though, she has been experiencing that for quite some time now.

More specifically, of recent.

Seeing as the lady refused to give him any face, the person left. Ye Yumi smirked inwardly. Her guess was right. By their characters, you shall know them.

But her joy was short-lived when another intruder came standing in front of her table. She frowned slightly. This person did not tap on her gable this time around. The person decided to disturb her by talking.

"Well, look who I found here. The oh so good girl I thought she was," the person said.

Ye Yumi froze for a second before she regained her composure. She knew this scumbag very well. She did not have to look up to see who it was.

"Oh! Are you playing deaf now? Enough of your acting. I am sick of it, bitch."

"Rong You, mind what you say to me," Ye Yumi glared at the man guy standing in front of her.

"Oh! Playing feisty, huh? Well, think again. I know you are just a cheap bitch," Rong You sneered at her.

Ye Yumi scoffed as she looked out the window before returning her gaze to Rong You. There was no warmth in her eyes as she looked up at him.

"Listen here, stupid. The only cheap piece of shit I see here is you, you two-faced lying cheater," she cursed at him.

"Me? A cheater? The last time I checked, you are tge one who cheated by sleeping with that rich heir of the Yang family when we are dating," Rong You spat out.

"Oh, please. Spare me the lies. You were the one who stood me up on our very first date. And speaking about being current, the last time I checked and even witnessed, you were with a cheek at a club on that day of our supposed date. Also, I do not recall us dating. I for one do not recall me agreeing to be your girlfriend. You did not even ask me to be one."
