CHAPTER 436: CHAPTER 249: RECRUITMENT

At first, everyone thought Shu Wan had signed a promotion with some brand, seizing the opportunity to advertise during this wave of popularity.

But soon, some internet users investigated the Shu Fu brand and then discovered that its actual controller was Shu Wan herself.

[Is Shu Wan really planning to leave the entertainment circle?? Why is she starting to make face masks.]

[Does this count as false advertising, with claims like scar fading being too outrageous, they should fix Wang Xiao’s face first.]

[Money is truly something valuable, Shu Wan is so rich, yet she still scams her fans with these substandard products, tsk tsk tsk.]

A charity gala turned into a hot topic of discussion from all sides.

Compared to the explosive topics of Zeng Wei’s illegal and criminal activities, Shu Wan seemed relatively normal.

People mostly mocked the face masks she recommended, but buying them was definitely out of the question.

Three days after the charity dinner, the total sales volume of the face masks was only 1,200 sets.

Most of these were rushed by Shu Wan’s loyal fans.

But the initial production target Shu Wan had set for the company was 500,000 sets; it couldn’t even fill the gap between fingernails.

"Lady Shu, I think we should move forward with the third plan."

The third plan was a preparation for corporate bankruptcy.

From the perspective of the actual company executives, this production trial was the most failed product they had ever dealt with in their careers, and even the marketing was the worst.

No one knew what Shu Wan was thinking, choosing to launch at the time when her reputation was at its worst, and when negative attention was at its height, which only expanded the public’s negative impression of the face masks.

"No need," Shu Wan directly denied, "add two more production lines."

"....."

People thought Shu Wan was crazy, but no one dared to say it.

They could only superficially comply and then went to Fu Siyu to complain.

"Mr. Fu, with the initial investment in the R&D and manufacturing plants, we’ve already lost tens of millions. If we add two more production lines, the company can really shut down. Lady Shu might not be very familiar with the beauty industry. Please advise her again."

In fact, people were already being quite restrained. If they spoke their minds, it would simply be that Shu Wan was making a reckless mess, squandering money.

Knowing that Fu Siyu might have a special relationship with Shu Wan and fearing that Fu Siyu would cover for her, they prepared a very detailed industry research report, trying to use countless solid data to convince Fu Siyu.

However, Fu Siyu still let them down.

Normally quite sensitive to numbers and hailed as an investment miracle, Fu Siyu was somehow muddled this time.

"Just do as she says, there won’t be any losses."

"....."

People thought that Shu Wan was actually misguided in her efforts; if she developed something like an aphrodisiac instead, she probably would have made more money than with face masks.

But since Fu Siyu had spoken, what else could they say? After all, the money being lost wasn’t theirs.

Add them, add!!!

Ever since Shu Wan had loudly promoted her face mask brand at the charity dinner, people had actually been paying quite a bit of attention to this brand.

Of course, not because they wanted to buy, but mainly to see the farce unfold.

The news that the factory had added two more production lines was soon dug up by the media, which also included the current sales figure for the face masks: 1,200.

This truly hit the public’s nerve for loving to watch a spectacle, and the topic exploded in another wave of negative publicity.

[Has she gone mad from being provoked?? Or does she really have so much money she can’t spend it all and just has to waste it, couldn’t she donate that money to the mountainous areas?]

[I’m more surprised that there are actually 1,200 victims who bought the face masks? They dare to use it, really not afraid of ruining their faces.]

[I never use such substandard products, let alone something for the face, just looking at it feels like it would burn my face off.]

During this period online, besides Shu Wan’s face masks, the hottest topic was probably Zeng Wei.

Given the Zeng Family’s status in Imperial City, even with such a big incident happening at the dinner, no one would dare leak the news.

However, things went beyond the Zeng Family’s expectations, they had not anticipated that Fu Siyu would really confront the Zeng Family for Shu Wan.

With the support of Guangyu Group, the video shown at the dinner was soon made public.

In the video, Zeng Wei was enticing countless girls, even using forceful methods, and the tax issues were numerous, not to mention the use of banned drugs.

These issues, with the Zeng Family’s influence, could have been completely suppressed before spreading any further right at the dinner.
