"Hmm... That's true. He's not one to kill indiscriminately. It's just that his fierceness is well known, so I can't help but worry a little," Secretary Xiao Mei said with a charming laugh.

"Yes, since Xu Hao insists that we hold a press conference first, let's go along with it. I know exactly what he's trying to do—ride on our Dior's popularity. Let him. In the end, we will definitely be the victors."

"Absolutely! Dior is the most powerful brand!" Secretary Xiao Mei timely echoed with a flattering tone.

General Manager Zhao quickly laughed and said, "Hahaha, it's fine to joke like that, but don't take it seriously. After all, there are several more formidable multinational cosmetics companies ahead of us, like Chanel and others. Dior can't compare to them just yet."

"But Dior has the highest annual cosmetics sales in Tiannan Province! And it's all thanks to you, General Manager!" Secretary Xiao Mei, seeing her first flattery didn't work, immediately tried another one.

General Manager Zhao said proudly, "Absolutely! I have worked diligently here for so many years. For the past decade, our Dior's cosmetics sales have led the industry every year. This is what I'm most proud of!

Now Xu Hao wants to set up a cosmetic company in Huadu. He needs to ask for my permission first! Enough chit-chat, let's go to the press conference. I want to challenge Xu Hao on behalf of Dior! I have absolute confidence in our Dior products! Tried and tested by countless consumers!"

Secretary Xiao Mei nodded quickly and followed General Manager Zhao outside.

Dior Press Conference.

A large crowd of reporters had gathered, all aiming their cameras at General Manager Zhao, who was standing at the podium.

General Manager Zhao stood there, pointing in the direction of the Xu Liu Group Huadu Headquarters, and declared, "Director Xu, although your medical skills are superb, that doesn't mean your cosmetics are of high quality! Dior is a big, reputable brand that has been tested by over a hundred million consumers. I hope you have the courage to compete with me under fair, just, and open conditions!

We will use our respective cosmetics and assess their effects on people after use. This challenge is expected to last for one week. I hope your cosmetics are at least half as good as you claim, no, even one-tenth as good, then Dior will automatically concede!"

After saying these words, General Manager Zhao began to answer questions from the reporters.

But at the same time, he laughed coldly inside.

Isn't Xu Hao just trying to take advantage of Dior's popularity?

But how could he have guessed that this whole situation was orchestrated by General Manager Zhao himself!

From the day Chen Suyi refused to buy Dior cosmetics, Zhao already knew about it.

However, he didn't think much of it at the time and felt it didn't matter if Chen Suyi bought cosmetics or not; it had nothing to do with Dior.

But later he realized he was wrong.

Dior's sales growth rate began to decline year-on-year, and recently even dropped into the negative!

This meant that if this continued, this year's sales target would not be met. Forget about surpassing last year and maintaining the leading sales position in the Tiannan Province cosmetics industry.

But, he had dominated the top position in the Tiannan Province cosmetics industry for a full decade!

How could he be willing to give it up just like that?

Fortunately, when there is a will, there is a way.

In a flash of inspiration, he thought back to that incident, then began hiring internet trolls to rekindle the "Chen Suyi refused to buy Dior cosmetics" issue on the internet.

Perhaps due to the dissatisfaction from how the incident was left unresolved initially, once it was stirred up again, it immediately sparked a huge reaction online, one that even surprised General Manager Zhao.

But what followed was his infinite delight. Sourced directly from *.

This was the outcome he wanted!

Hype up the issue, then defeat the "Su Yi" cosmetics endorsed by Chen Suyi head-on. This impact was far better than any promotion could achieve through a mere endorsement!

Thus, at this moment, General Manager Zhao couldn't be happier.

Once General Manager Zhao's statements were spread by the media, the internet exploded.

Because the phrase "Chen Suyi refused to buy Dior cosmetics" shot up to the third spot on forum rankings, nearly every netizen knew about it.

After all, both "Dior" and "Chen Suyi" are powerful keywords that can independently trend. When they are connected, the impact is even greater.

Many people were fiercely discussing this online, especially on the forums, where the debate was the most intense and heated.

"I think Dior is overreacting. Whether Chen Suyi buys their cosmetics or not is her own choice. Why should they restrict her?"
