"How could this happen?" Melanie furrowed her brows."We don't know what's going on either. More than one trial user has raised concerns. It's becoming quite a big issue. Our PR department and colleagues from a third-party PR agency are currently working together to figure out a solution," the assistant explained.As they were talking, Annie's call came in. After some thought, Melanie instructed her assistant, "Go to the QC department. Ask them to prioritize testing the batch of perfumes we distributed for trials to see if there's any problem." "But Miss Melanie, we've already checked multiple times, and the certification center found no issues.” The assistant was puzzled by Melanie's instruction. "Regardless, now that someone is claiming there's a problem, we have an obligation to retest. If it turns out to be our fault, we'll compensate and apologize," Melanie said, hanging up and answering Annie's call. "Mel, could someone be deliberately targeting Jones Enterprise? Norm
"Back then, I remember my father mentioning that Melanie's father single-handedly expanded Jones Enterprises' perfume in a short time. even in the bleak environment of the fragrance industry at that time. "It was rumored that the reason he could achieve this was due to his extraordinary talent and expertise in blending fragrances." "So, could Melanie have inherited this talent?" John thought out loud. "But, sir, as you said, it's just a rumor," the assistant cautiously remarked, as she didn’t know what John was thinking about. John raised his hand to stroke his trimmed beard. "Rumors don't arise out of thin air. Send more people to investigate this thoroughly for me." "Yes, sir!” the assistant agreed. - Before Melanie could arrive at Jones Enterprise, professionals online had already started pointing out that the appraisal documents released by Jones Enterprise were internal and lacked certification from the Certification Center, making them completely unconvincing. Sud
Melanie looked up in surprise and saw Jeffrey's slender neck and chin. He enveloped her in his coat as if he were her knight in shining armor. Behind them, Jeffrey's subordinates and bodyguards quickly took control of the troublemakers, after which one of them approached Jeffrey to seek instruction. "President Morgan, how should we handle these people?" "Take them back and find out who's behind this!" Jeffrey instructed without turning around. "Yes, sir!" Instantly, the area behind them fell silent. Melanie emerged from his embrace, noticing that his back was completely soaked. Droplets of water were dripping down his coat. "Are you okay?" She wanted to ask many questions, but in the end, all of them condensed into this one. "I’m fine. I just need to change my clothes." Jeffrey casually replied, "You go up. I'll escort you to the elevator." "Alright." She nodded. Jeffrey escorted her into the elevator, and she went directly to her office. An assistant was already
One of the female employees nervously picked up her phone, opened her Instagram app, and handed it to Melanie. She was cautious, as if confessing her own guilt. "Miss Melanie, I followed Vivian on Instagram when I coordinated her advertisement shoot the last time..." Everyone knew Melanie and Vivian had a fight when shooting an advertisement last time, so the female employees feared offending Melanie. However, Melanie didn’t mind. Her eyes were fixed on the phone. In Vivian's latest post, she wrote, [Another long night saved by face masks…] In the comments, Quincy expressed his concern. [If you can, get some rest. Take care of yourself.] The tone he used made it feel like the two of them were more than just acquaintances. Melanie blinked and suddenly recalled a time when she was in Quincy's car. His phone rang, and the screen displayed a contact named "Vivi." Could that person have been Vivian? "Thank you." Melanie locked the phone and returned it to the female employee
Twenty minutes later, an impromptu board meeting was convened. Being bold in a twisted way, Quincy admitted on the spot that everything was his doing. He even provided detailed information on how he leaked the information. The other shareholders present immediately turned their blame toward Quincy's father. "Mr. Quicksilver, you’re too unscrupulous! Why did you do this? You caused us to suffer a loss!” "Even if you used to work closely with Daniel, look at Daniel's current state! Why would you still choose to stand with him?" Everyone voiced their condemnation, and Mr. Quicksilver was furious. He pointed at Quincy and berated, "You ungrateful child! Were you threatened by someone? How could you do such a foolish thing? Did someone force you to take the blame? Speak!" Feeling that she was being indirectly criticized, Melanie calmly sneered, "Mr. Quicksilver, I can't figure out how creating trouble for him benefits me or the perfume department of Jones Enterprise. Do you think
Quincy returned to his office, surprised that the company didn’t instruct anyone to continue to keep an eye on him. Recalling the scene at the board meeting where all the shareholders targeted his family because of him and thinking about his father's anger, he felt uneasy. He went online to check the current situation, and it turned out to be more severe than he had imagined. Even at this stage, Melanie didn’t humiliate him. Her behavior made him feel even more uncomfortable. Just as he was picking up his phone, hesitating whether to call Vivian or not, Melanie knocked on the door. Feeling nervous, he quickly put down his phone. Melanie entered, her expression calm. "I'm here to let you listen to a recording. Do you remember a few days ago when I was falsely accused of having a chaotic private life at Twilight Mansion?" Quincy nodded. The incident had caused quite a stir. Melanie had responded promptly and effectively, proving that it was a plot by the Wilhelm family. It
After a long time, Vivian finally answered the phone. "What's up, Quincy?" "Vivian, you promised not to go astray, but now, Jones Enterprise is almost ruined because of you. I know you’re angry because they deleted your scenes and want to get back at them, but you shouldn’t have pushed them to a dead end," Quincy said. "Jones Enterprise can't even withstand such a small negative incident. Doesn't that just prove that they're not that great themselves?" Vivian just finished her live stream, and several beauty products she endorsed were selling well. She spoke smugly. "They already know it's me who did it." Quincy sighed, revealing everything to Vivian without reservation. "What?" Vivian became agitated. "Did you tell them it's me?" Quincy furrowed his brows and lowered his voice. "No." "Oh, I didn't mean that... Are you okay?" Vivian sensed Quincy's discomfort and quickly tried to smooth things over. Quincy initially wanted to tell her that his family could no longer sta
In the past two years, Jones Enterprise had been looking to expand its production capacity. They needed a new factory, especially since the perfume department had launched a new product line. Eliza had been eyeing a piece of land right next to the existing Jones Enterprise factory, but the land had not been released for sale. A month ago, the Land Management Bureau issued an announcement, saying that the land was up for auction. Jones Enterprise seized this opportunity to submit the required documents for bidding. However, the bureau rejected Jones Enterprise's application, citing priority for nearby businesses without factories. Eliza was troubled by this for a few days. What should she do? "Mr. Lincoln just received a notification too, saying that the Land Management Bureau has agreed to allow Jones Enterprise to participate in the auction," the assistant said. Melanie nodded. This was good. Even though Eliza couldn't return because she had to deal with some matters abroa
