Chapter 533: Chapter 533: Submission

Xia Chenyu had always been low-key in her actions, orchestrating everything from behind the scenes and letting her subordinates take the spotlight.

This meeting marked Xia Chenyu’s first appearance on a nationally televised broadcast, instantly captivating countless viewers with her elegance and beauty, far overshadowing any concern over the quality incident of Beauty Company’s products on the internet.

Meanwhile, consumers who loved Beauty Company’s products but were worried about potential side effects felt elated.

To them, Beauty Company’s products had significant effects, superior in treating acne and whitening to other brands; as long as there were no quality issues with Beauty Company’s products, they would continue to support them as always.

"Damn it!"

In a villa within Zhongzhou, Li Dongyang and Shen Huanian, who had been closely watching the live broadcast, were unable to contain their fury when they saw Zhu Guowei, whom they had paid a hefty sum to buy over, "betray" them, smashing their cups almost simultaneously.

The two had long schemed and spent a considerable amount of money intending to take down Beauty Company and ensure Xia Chenyu had no chance to recover, with Zhu Guowei’s group playing a crucial role in their plan.

Zhu Guowei and his group’s "betrayal" immediately sent the two men into a state of unrest.

"Li Dongyang, this is all your brilliant doing!"

Shen Huanian turned his head and glared at Li Dongyang, directing his anger at him.

The task of bribing Zhu Guowei and his group had been eagerly undertaken by Li Dongyang, who, until recently, had confidently guaranteed that there would be no issues with them. Yet, in the blink of an eye, issues had arisen.

Not only did they collectively betray them, providing Beauty Company with a qualified inspection report, but they even started promoting Beauty Company on site, something they found intolerable.

"That bastard Zhu Guowei, I’m going to expose his corruption and affairs! Let him spend the rest of his life in prison!"

Li Dongyang roared in fury.

Shen Huanian replied with a cold laugh, "What use is saying this now? Zhu Guowei and his group have already sided with Beauty Company, bringing down Beauty Company completely is impossible now!"

He paused before adding, "We better hope that none of those dozen ’victims’ on site pose any problems! Otherwise... not only will our efforts be in vain, but Beauty Company will also benefit from this misfortune, emerging as the big winner of this incident!"

"That... surely won’t happen, right?"

With the betrayal of Zhu Guowei and his group already shaking his confidence, Li Dongyang, upon hearing Shen Huanian’s words and thinking of the cascading consequences, couldn’t help but shudder.

Zhu Guowei and his group’s betrayal was a minor issue, but if those dozen ’victims’ also turned against them, it would be a serious problem. Although it wouldn’t directly expose Li Dongyang and Shen Huanian as the masterminds, it would definitely result in their plan backfiring miserably.

If it came to that, their plot wouldn’t just fail to harm Beauty Company; it would be as if they paid to give Beauty Company a nationwide promotion.

"Sigh..."

With things at this point, Shen Huanian also felt a sense of discouragement, let out a sigh, and looked at the television screen with a vacant gaze.

When the spirited Xia Chenyu appeared on the TV screen and whispered with a smile to Fang Bai beside her, his eyes suddenly sharpened like knives, clenching his fists tightly.

In the spacious meeting room on the third floor of Beauty Company, Zhu Guowei, Niu Dezhi, and Ma Li, facing over a thousand people below the stage, embarrassingly reviewed their own work mistakes one after another, then vigorously commended the quality of Beauty Company’s products and assured they were safe to purchase and use.

After they had completed their "mission", the three of them breathed a sigh of relief as if a great burden had been lifted, then looked pitifully towards the stage.

If someone observed closely, they would have noticed that Zhu Guowei and his two associates were not looking at Xia Chenyu, but at Fang Bai, with a hint of fear in their eyes.

In the eyes of Zhu Guowei and his associates, it was that young man with the harmless smile who had appeared before them like a specter the night before, and had used some means to torture them to the point of unbearable pain, instilling a fear so deep in their hearts that they had no choice but to comply with his commands and attend today’s meeting to make the statements they had.

For the three of them, offending the shadowy figure who gave them money was at worst losing a job or spending a few years in prison, but offending that young man could cost them their lives.

When choosing the lesser of two evils, their lives were the most precious. Thus, they chose to submit to the young man.

"Just now, Director Zhu and the others have spoken and presented the latest test report. I’m sure everyone here has heard and seen it. The facts prove that our Beauty Company’s products have no quality issues and are reliable and safe to use..."

Xia Chenyu’s gaze swept over the dozen or so "victims" sitting in the front row below the stage and said with a smile, "These friends claim to have experienced allergic reactions, poisoning, and other side effects after using our products. I would like to ask, we have nearly ten billion in annual sales, with tens of millions of users, why have only you had problems? Are all of your skins so uniquely different?"

"Ms. Xia, are you not going to apologize and compensate us victims? If you dare do this, we will not let your company get away with it!"

A middle-aged woman with a face full of acne stood up from her seat, pointing to her face and shouting loudly, "Look at my face; it was fine before, but since I used your company’s product, it has turned into this! Everyone, look, this is a photo of me before..."

The woman pulled out an enlarged photo, raised it high with one hand, turned around to face the thousands behind her, and pointed to the woman in the photo, saying, "Everyone, look, this was me before. Look at this skin, how smooth and fair... Now? Look at my face, what’s the difference between this and disfigurement? Beauty Company is harming people!"

People looked at the woman’s photo and, between the eyebrows, it did bear some resemblance to her, but it still felt as if it was not the same person.

"That’s right! Beauty Company has harmed me!"

No sooner had the acne-ridden woman finished speaking when another young woman stood up, her voice full of tears and sobs, "Ever since I used Beauty Company’s products, many red patches have appeared on my face, making it more and more ugly. Now my husband doesn’t want me, and my child cries at the sight of me... Wuu wuu wuu... my life is so miserable!"

The woman’s crying became louder, and in her "heartbreaking" state, she nearly fainted, thankfully supported by several relatives who helped her sit down in a chair,

Following the two women, several other women stood up and, in front of nearly a thousand people on the scene, tearfully accused Beauty Group.

The audience was stunned, feeling that the women were overacting, and moreover, each of the women was either old or unattractive, leading people to suspect the acne and red patches were natural.

Clap—

Clap—

Clap—

When the women had each finished their performances, applause suddenly erupted from the audience.

However, only one person was clapping.

That person was Fang Bai.

His clapping immediately drew the attention of everyone in the venue.
