Chapter 49

Looking at the very angry Zhao Youli in front of him, Luo Qingli did not show any emotional fluctuation at all because of her remarks.

"I'm sorry, this is a matter between Ji Jinsi and me. You can't say no to it. If you have any opinions about this matter, you can tell Ji Jinsi instead of coming to me, a stranger."

Hearing Luo Qingli's words, Zhao Youli became even angrier. She slammed the table and accused him, "Is this your upbringing? Is that how you speak to your elders? Are you going against the will of heaven? If you really marry into the Ji family, wouldn't I, as your mother, be tortured to death by you?"

"Mrs. Ji, why are you so worried about something that hasn't happened yet? Besides, if I really marry Ji Jinsi, you might not see me many times throughout the year. How could you be tortured to death by me?" Luo Qingli said slowly.

Luo Qingli's personality was like this. She would treat others the same way they treated her. If Zhao Youli was rude to her, she didn't need to give her face.

Zhao Youli was so angry that her chest was heaving. She wanted to insult Luo Qingli fiercely, but because they were in a public place, she suppressed her anger.

She calmed down for a moment, then raised a sarcastic smile and looked at Luo Qingli and said, "You think you are fearless now because Jinsi loves you, but, my son, I know him, has he never made any promises to you?"

Luo Qingli's expression remained unchanged.

Zhao Youli continued, "Hasn't he ever said he loves you? Hasn't he ever told you he'd marry you? Haha, Luo Qingli, you think you're Jinsi's true love, but you're wrong. Although Jinsi is somewhat interested in you, he will never marry you! He only loves your body, not your whole being, and he wouldn't betray his entire family for you!"

Luo Qingli understood what Zhao Youli said, so she didn't let her emotions fluctuate too much.

"I know everything you said, so please take good care of Ji Jinsi and tell him to stop bothering me!" Luo Qingli left after saying this.

"Hey, you uneducated woman! How could you leave without your elders giving you the order? Come back now!"

Luo Qingli closed the door of the cafe, blocking out Zhao Youli's words.

She took a deep breath. She didn't need to humbly beg for a man's love. Once she found out that the man didn't love her, she would leave immediately.

After returning to the company, Luo Qingli did not go back to the office, but went to the R&D room.

The R&D room is her little world, where she can find real peace of mind.

Feng Fang sat there browsing her phone. Luo Qingli called her name several times, but she didn't respond.

"Sister Feng!" Luo Qingli raised his voice.

Feng Fang shifted her attention from her phone to Luo Qingli and asked in surprise, "Qingli, didn't you go upstairs to take care of the work?"

"I'm done. I had nothing else to do, so I came down to see you."

Feng Fang sighed, "I didn't expect time to pass so quickly. Now that our perfume has been successfully developed, it's time for you to return to Mo City."

Luo Qingli nodded.

"Sister Feng, what were you looking at just now? You were so focused that I called you several times but you didn't hear me." Luo Qingli asked curiously while sitting next to Feng Fang.

Feng Fang placed her phone in front of Luo Qingli and said, "This recent gossip is very popular on the Internet."

Luo Qingli looked down and saw a very conspicuous title on the mobile phone page.

"Shocking! A famous actress and a famous director are in a relationship and are even having a child!"

Below is a blurry photo. Luo Qingli looked at it and the two people hugging in the photo seemed familiar.

"It seems that a female celebrity was exposed by paparazzi for having an illicit deal with a director, saying that her current movie was obtained by sleeping with the director. Later, someone also revealed that she had a child with this director."

Feng Fang said this as she scrolled down the page to the photo below.

"Look, these are photos of them when they were young, photos of her going to the hospital for a prenatal checkup, and photos of the two of them playing with their child now."

These photos were very clear, and Luo Qingli recognized them immediately. The two people in the photos were Jiang Ran and Lin Pingyu.

No, to be precise, there are three people, Lin Pingyu, Jiang Ran and Ye Lan.

Putting aside the impact of this scandal, Luo Qingli quickly thought, did Lin Pingyu tell Jiang Ran about Ye Lan's existence?

If Jiang Ran had never known about Ye Lan's existence, and she had seen this old photo...

"I've seen this actress have a pretty good reputation and acting skills. Her latest TV series is pretty good, and I've been following it for a while. How did something like this suddenly come out?" Feng Fang clicked on another photo and showed it to Luo Qingli, saying, "Look, there are also photos of her with other company bosses."

Luo Qingli took a look and saw that it was a photo of Jiang Ran and Jiang Yao talking together. It looked like a photo of Jiang Ran before his debut, and he was obviously younger.

"Although the entertainment industry is very chaotic, I didn't expect it to be this chaotic. Selling your body in exchange for resources makes you unhappy even with the money you earn," Feng Fang sighed.

"I suddenly remembered something, so I'll leave first." Luo Qingli left the R&D room.

She took out her cell phone and called Jiang Ran, but the line was busy.

Luo Qingli called Lin Pingyu again, but he didn't answer.

It seems that both of them are in a state of panic now, and their phones may have been blown away by the phone.

Luo Qingli thought about it and called Zhao Jingyu.

The phone rang several times before Zhao Jingyu picked up the phone.

"Mr. Luo." Zhao Jingyu's voice sounded a little trembling for some reason.

"Do you know where Lin Pingyuan and Jiang Ran are?"

"Boss Luo, you know about this, right? The scandal started spreading online last night, and now the filming base has been surrounded by media reporters. No one can get in, and I don't know what happened. Also, Boss Luo, I need to report something to you."

Luo Qingli heard something wrong in Zhao Jingyu's voice, and she quickly asked, "What's wrong? What else happened?"

"I just saw online that someone accused our new Mozhu Sea Salt Lemon fragrance of plagiarizing Night's new fragrance series!"

Luo Qingli knew that Night Color Perfume was an old domestic perfume brand.

"How is that possible? Sea salt and lemon is my new recipe, how could that be?"

"Ye Se's new Sea Salt Lemon was released a few days earlier than ours, and that person said our perfume smells exactly like Ye Se's, and that we plagiarized Ye Se's perfume! Mr. Luo, this matter has been going viral online. This is definitely not a normal rate of development. There must be someone behind the scenes plotting this. What do you think we should do?"

Luo Qingli's heart was beating fast. She tried to calm herself down and said, "Keep calm first. Inform everyone in the company and don't speak out rashly. Find out the situation right away. I'll take the next flight back."

After hanging up the phone, Luo Qingli was upset. How could such a thing happen suddenly? She had not yet come into contact with the Night Color Perfume and did not know whether the two were really similar.

The sea salt lemon scent wasn't her first creation, but she added mint and a white rum base to the formula.

Generally, sea salt lemon fragrance simulates sea salt lemon soda, but hers is a sea salt lemon cocktail with refreshing mint and a hint of wine in the base.

Moreover, each perfume has a different formula, and there are additional differences between the scents, so it is impossible for them to be exactly the same.

Luo Qingli's heart sank. This meant that this was a premeditated frame-up of Mozhu.

Mozhu's existence disturbed some people's interests, and those people finally couldn't stand it anymore.

Luo Qingli tried hard to keep herself calm. She first booked the next flight to Mocheng, left Linju immediately, and took a taxi to the airport.

She now needs to return to the company immediately to stabilize it and find out the truth as soon as possible before Mozhu's image is irreparably damaged!

On the way to the airport, she felt somewhat relieved that at least she had completed her cooperation with Lin Ju.

Luo Qingli opened his phone and searched for Mozhu, and all kinds of negative information immediately popped up.

In addition to the issue of perfume plagiarism, some people also claim that the raw materials used in Mozhu perfume are problematic and toxic.

Many people commented that they had allergic reactions after spraying Mozhu perfume, and some people also felt dizzy and wanted to vomit after spraying Mozhu perfume.

These remarks also seem to prove that there is something wrong with the Mosaic Bamboo perfume and it is not suitable for use.

Although there were occasionally a few explanations for Mozhu, saying that there was no problem with using Mozhu perfume, they were quickly drowned out by the angry remarks of various ministers.

Luo Qingli clicked on the homepages of the most active comments and found that they were small accounts that had just been registered not long ago, and the homepages were empty.

Luo Qingli knew in his heart that this was a naked frame-up. The person who framed her was not only targeting this new product, but also wanted to kill Mozhu!

First they destroyed Mozhu's brand reputation by plagiarism, and then used the claim that the perfume was poisonous to keep people away from it. What a good tactic!

Moreover, the situation fermented so quickly that she had no time to react and immediately left a negative impression in the eyes of the public.

Even if it is later discovered that these are false rumors, the seeds of doubt planted in the public have already taken root and can no longer be eradicated.

Luo Qingli gritted his teeth and immediately asked Zhao Jingyu to issue a statement, saying that there was no problem with Mozhu, all of Mozhu's formulas were original, the raw materials used by Mozhu to make perfumes met national standards, and the craftsmanship during the manufacturing process was also strictly carried out in accordance with the standards.

She also asked Zhao Jingyu to have people act quickly and take all the series of perfumes produced by Mozhu to a professional inspection agency for inspection, and to broadcast live on the way to the inspection to ensure the authenticity of the inspection.

Once the earnest statement was issued, the noisy online discussions improved slightly, and some netizens began to speak up for Mozhu.

As soon as Mozhu's live broadcast started, hundreds of thousands of people flocked to watch it instantly.

Luo Qingli was sitting in the waiting hall, with Mozhu's live broadcast playing on his phone.
