Chapter 161 [Shi Yi 011] It turns out he has a powerful backer.

Around 11 a.m., Yi Xu leisurely strolled into the company. His assistant, Xiao Fang, greeted him, "Mr. Yi, the matter has been investigated and clarified."

Yi Xu gestured with his chin toward the office.

Once the two entered the office, Xiao Fang brought up the matter he had just investigated an hour earlier: "The contracted anchor of Shishi Media's self-operated company is named Bu Xia, and she currently has 2.76 million followers."

"On the evening of the 27th of last month, she had a live broadcast selling a shampoo called Kangyaowang from Lin's. It was sold out at first, but then 2,000 units were restocked. Last week, some netizens who bought this shampoo said that after washing their hair two or three times, they started to experience severe hair loss. A total of seven people experienced this. They all contacted the merchant's customer service, but there was no improvement. Later, they contacted the after-sales team of that company, but there was no progress. They then reported it to the platform. The platform recalled and tested those seven bottles of shampoo and said that they contained several harmful substances and did not meet the standards for sale."

"Shishi.com was therefore subject to administrative penalties by the platform and was warned to provide certain compensation to the seven victims. More than 8,000 bottles were sold that night, and no other negative feedback was received. However, Ms. Shi sent a recall notice for the shampoo to all buyers on the day she received the notice of administrative penalties, about three days ago. She also communicated with the Lin family, but the Lin family now seems to want to wash their hands of the matter and has not punished them. It seems that they want to make Shishi.com a scapegoat."

"I heard that around 8 a.m. this morning, the seven victims sent a joint lawyer's letter to Shishi Media Company. This matter is a big deal, but it can also be a small deal. In principle, this kind of thing should be the fault of the brand. Shishi Media should at most bear the responsibility for the failure of product selection. There is no reason to push everything onto them."

He frowned, recalling Shi Wan's furious and cursing manner that morning.

After Xiao Fang finished reporting, he stood there motionless, quietly waiting for Yi Xu's instructions.

After a long while, Yi Xu finally said, "The weather is nice today. It's been a long time since I've been to Junlang. Why don't you give Chairman Lin a call and invite him over for an event?"

Xiao Fang understood and nodded slightly. "Yes. What time would be suitable to schedule it?"

What are the plans for this afternoon?

Xiao Fang shook his head.

That's true. The company's trivial matters are usually handled by the vice president or the CEO. He only checks the data and financial statements every month. He will only show up once in a really necessary situation to avoid any trouble.

That's a redundant question.

He is naturally carefree and loves freedom. If it weren't for the constraints imposed by his father, he would have wanted to hand over both companies to his older brother.

"Then around three or four in the afternoon."

"Yes."

In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Shi Wan was unaware that Yi Xu had specifically sought out Lin Chaoyuan's nearly seventy-year-old father for a thoroughly enjoyable round of golf. Three days later, on her way to the courthouse, she received a call from Yu Xuan.

"Sister, Lin's has taken responsibility. They just issued a statement saying it was a packaging worker's mistake that mixed up several substandard bottles of shampoo, so they sent the wrong ones. They are willing to bear all the compensation responsibility and have also publicly apologized to our company. Should we... withdraw the lawsuit?"

After the afternoon of the day the lawyer's letter was issued, Shi Wan unilaterally exposed this matter.

Of course, this is a move that hurts the enemy a thousand while also hurting yourself eight hundred.

But Shi Wan couldn't stand Lin's cowardly nature.

Lin's attempt to shift public pressure onto Shi Shi's online media in order to escape this cyberbullying is simply a pipe dream!
Shi Wan directly filed a lawsuit in court on charges of damaging the company's reputation. Of course, this wise decision also earned her the trust of a large number of netizens.

Lin Chaoyuan's brain is full of shit. He thinks he's the only smart person in the world. He always tries to avoid the important things and avoid them if he can. It makes sense that he spent all his money on a body lotion project before.

His father was truly at ease entrusting the shampoo project to him again.

I'm not afraid he'll squander all my money.

She had contacted Lin Chaoyuan before, and that idiot was so arrogant, yet his attitude changed so drastically in just three days.

Did she take the wrong medicine? She said "I know" and hung up the phone. I opened Weibo, and sure enough, the four words "Lin's statement" were the seventh most searched topic.

She stared at it for a few seconds, but didn't click to look.

Just then, my phone rang; it was a local number.

She hesitated for two seconds before answering, "Hello."

"Miss Shi? I am Lin Lihui."

The voice on the other end of the phone sounded somewhat somber and weary.

Lin Lihui?
The name went through her mind several times before she suddenly remembered who it belonged to.

Oh, Lin Chaoyuan's father.

"Chairman Lin?"

"It's kind of Miss Shi to know this old man." Lin Lihui chuckled twice on the other end of the phone. "Recently, there has been a bit of an unpleasantness between Lin's Group and your company. I understand the situation. It's all my fault for my dim-witted son's poor handling of the situation, which has dragged Shi Shi's online media into this mess. I'm truly sorry."

It's quite unexpected.

Lin Chaoyuan's awful temper is nothing compared to his father's surprisingly gentlemanly demeanor.

"This has really caused a bad influence on your company. We will compensate you double for the platform's administrative penalty. Ms. Shi, I've booked a private room at Fenglanju tonight so my son can properly apologize to you. Would you do me the honor of joining us?"

Lin Lihui had essentially offered her a way out.

Shi Wan isn't stubborn or inflexible; now that the situation has changed, she naturally prioritizes her company's interests.

So she agreed to the appointment. She wasn't in a hurry to withdraw the lawsuit; she wanted to see how the Lin family father and son reacted tonight before making a decision.

Of course, she wouldn't be foolish enough to go to the appointment alone.

Yu Xuan and two male assistants were invited.

Upon entering the private room, Lin Lihui and his son Lin Chaoyuan were seated inside. Lin Chaoyuan's expression was somewhat strained, clearly indicating that he was not very willing to come, presumably due to pressure from Lin Lihui.

Shi Wan didn't care whether he was willing or not, but after talking with Lin Lihui, she suddenly felt sorry for him having such a mentally challenged son.

Out of respect for Lin Lihui, Shi Wan promised to withdraw the lawsuit later and even had a few drinks with Lin Lihui.

As the dinner was about to end, Lin Lihui smiled and said, "Then it's settled, let's put this matter behind us."

"nature."

"Miss Shi is indeed generous and easy to talk to." Lin Lihui extended his hand to her and added, "Please give my regards to President Yi."

Mr. Yi?
Shi Wan was taken aback, her face showing confusion, "President Yi?"

Lin Lihui said, "If President Yi hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known he did such a despicable thing. He's been wasting his decades of food."

Lin Chaoyuan, who was standing to the side, shrank his neck. He was initially a little impatient and irritable, but when he heard the words "President Yi", his eyes became clear.

But he couldn't help but mutter, "No wonder he's so confident, he must have powerful backers."
