33 Warm and cozy
◎"Her name is Nuannuan, also known as Pink Star. Her wish is that no girl in the world will have a stomachache."◎
The following day, all of XinXinYan's official accounts on various platforms released a response.
Regarding the recent controversy surrounding the donation of a portion of our company's product profits to charitable sanitary napkin donations, we hereby issue the following response:
We will donate now, and we will continue to donate in the future. Each season, our company will continue to donate 5% of the profits from new product launches to charitable activities supporting women. We will not stop on the right path.
Menstruation is a periodic physiological phenomenon that every woman who has gone through puberty experiences. During menstruation, the lining of the uterus sheds and ruptures, and blood is discharged from the vagina. Sanitary napkins are nursing products specifically designed to manage menstrual blood; they can hold and absorb menstrual blood.
Women use sanitary napkins during menstruation to keep their bodies dry and clean, thus ensuring their health and normal life. However, even though sanitary napkins have been around for several years, some women still face "period poverty."
Women who cannot obtain sufficient and safe menstrual hygiene products due to economic constraints may be forced to use unhygienic or unhealthy items, or reduce the frequency of changing their menstrual hygiene products. This often puts women at risk of infections such as vaginal tract infections and urinary tract infections.
Menstruation is a natural physiological phenomenon for women, yet the shame and even stigma surrounding menstruation persist in society. A woman's menstruation should not be a taboo subject to be discussed or a scandal to be hidden, much less a target for attacking or criticizing women.
Women's physiological needs should be recognized. Solving the problem of "period poverty" for women and helping them to study, work, and live better, so that more women can be comfortable and healthy during menstruation, is the significance of donating sanitary napkins to women.
As a beauty brand deeply trusted and loved by female consumers, we are honored and proud to participate in the "Menstrual Warmth Campaign" initiated by the Women and Children Development Foundation. We would also like to express our special thanks to our consumers and supporters, as well as all those who have contributed to women's health and well-being.
Furthermore, we have also seen malicious smears, rumors, and deliberate attempts to provoke trouble. Our judicial authorities have traced and collected evidence of the spread of these rumors and will resolutely pursue their legal responsibility with zero tolerance and zero leniency.
If any kind-hearted individuals who have been subjected to cyberbullying or other attacks while upholding the "Menstrual Warmth Campaign" which donates sanitary napkins to women, they can submit relevant evidence through our company's email address, and we can provide full legal assistance.
Finally, thank you to our media friends and the public for your continued attention.
Xin Xin Yan's response to the recent public opinion surged to the top of the trending searches in less than ten minutes. Within just half an hour, the response was shared tens of millions of times, and this explosive growth made the statement go viral.
Countless women have made their voices heard, some unknown and some well-known.
They all said they support Xin Xin Yan! They support the "Menstrual Heartwarming Campaign"!
[I witnessed firsthand the entire ordeal of Xin Xin Yan's public relations crisis. I believe anyone with a modicum of critical thinking can distinguish between the malicious act of slander and the righteous act of doing good. When I was in school, I also experienced financial hardship because I couldn't afford sanitary napkins. Back then, I dreaded menstruation, afraid of getting it on my clothes, being mocked by the boys in my class, and being said hurtful things. If there had been a sanitary napkin donation drive back then, perhaps my adolescence wouldn't have been filled with such feelings of shame. But that's all in the past. Now I have a good job, enough money to buy sanitary napkins, and the ability to donate them to girls in need!]
[As a woman, I'm truly delighted to see so many girls overcome menstrual shame; as a consumer, I'm also proud to have chosen a conscientious brand like Xinxinyan that understands and helps women!]
The issue of "period poverty" deserves the attention and resolution of the entire society. Women's access to an adequate supply of affordable sanitary napkins is not only a matter of health needs, but also a matter of dignity and human rights!
[It's unbelievable! Every time we discuss topics related to women, there's always a man jumping in to say it's gender antagonism! It's sexism! Please, I'm a woman, and of course I'll always consider things from a woman's perspective. I'm not like some men who are obsessed with cybernetic castration or cross-dressing. Especially when I see some men using "menstrual beast" to refer to women, I despise them even more. They originate from a woman's crotch, yet they insist on being proud of that extra little thing, always treating themselves like a treasure, completely unaware of how repulsive their stupidity, ignorance, narrow-mindedness, and malice are.]
[Suddenly, so many people started criticizing Xinxinyan's products overnight, but after looking around, it turns out it's not about the products at all. Clearly, there's nothing wrong with their products, so they're trying to stir up trouble by attacking their values. But after digging and digging, they found absolutely nothing wrong with Xinxinyan; on the contrary, they've been consistently doing charity work, so they can only resort to forced attacks, right? If donating sanitary napkins to women is considered gender antagonism and discrimination, then does that mean the existence of the Women's Federation and the Women and Children's Foundation is also creating antagonism and discrimination? I say, some people shouldn't be so malicious! Before saying such things, why don't you spend your own money and do something practical? Other companies are genuinely doing good, while some people are just keyboard warriors!]
I once saw a seller offering cheap sanitary napkins. The sanitary napkins listed on the product link were from small factories, costing only a few dollars for a large pack. Needless to say, the quality was very poor, perhaps even substandard. After all, some large sanitary napkin factories have been exposed in the news for their poor working conditions. However, many buyers commented that they were very good, the seller was honest, and a large pack would last a long time for just a few dollars. Someone left a comment saying not to buy these unreliable sanitary napkins, as they might not be clean. I still remember the buyer's reply vividly: "I have difficulties." Those four words still make me sad. I think society really needs us to do this kind of charitable work, donating sanitary napkins. A pack of sanitary napkins can range in price from a few dollars to tens of dollars. Tens of dollars might be a small amount for some people, considering that a cup of milk tea with toppings costs far more than that these days. The convenience of mobile payments has gradually blurred our perception of the weight and value of money, yet some people still worry about a few dollars for a sanitary napkin. A few dollars may not sound like much, but five mao (0.5 yuan) of steamed buns can buy several, which could be a meal for a woman facing hardship.
[After reading some absurd and ridiculous comments, seeing these makes me feel like I'm about to pee my eyes. Maybe I'm just too sexy...]
At first, some dissenting voices could still be heard, but soon, the praise given to Xin Xin Yan by major official media outlets silenced them. Those who had previously slandered Xin Xin Yan either deleted their accounts and fled or knelt down and apologized. Those false accusations finally burst and vanished like bubbles.
Xu Huaihuai's phone kept ringing with messages. The entire company was thrown into a frenzy of activity before anyone could even celebrate—Xin Xin Yan's products on all its platforms were nearly sold out. Departments needed to coordinate restocking, and the stores urgently issued a notice urging everyone to consume rationally.
Xu Huaihuai recalled a passage she had once written: For every product, there will be praise and criticism, because some people like it and some don't. As a product development team, only by listening to the voices of consumers can we go further. But this doesn't mean letting the slander and rumors run rampant.
The raging public opinion storm finally came to an end. Xu Huaihuai closed her laptop, took a sip of water, and felt an unprecedented sense of relief.
She looked up at Lin Xu, who was busy in the kitchen. The light and shadow were just right; it was a truly peaceful and serene moment.
Lin Xu brought out the dishes and saw her relaxed and cheerful face, knowing that her matter had been resolved. "Congratulations, Sister Huai, you don't have to go to the company to work anymore."
Lin Xu really understood her sweet spot, but Xu Huaihuai would never admit it. "Oh, what are you saying? I don't dislike office work that much." She just didn't like it! Office work, dead butt syndrome warning! As the name suggests, the person is still alive, but the butt is quietly and secretly dead.
Lin Xu didn't expose her, "Is your stomach upset now?"
"I don't feel bad today. It must be because I drank something cold yesterday that I had menstrual cramps. Oh, it smells so good. Let's eat, let's eat!" Xu Huaihuai quickly changed the subject, remembering how last night's conversation about ginger and potato substitutes had turned into a ginger-flavored kiss.
Lin Xu felt much relieved and didn't ask any more questions. He only said that after dinner, he had a half-finished gift to give her.
A gift? Or a half-finished product? Xu Huaihuai's curiosity was completely piqued.
Are you just sending me a half-finished product?
"Because we're unsure how accurate the replica of this gift is."
Accuracy of reproduction? What kind of gift needs to be accurate to the original? When Xu Huaihuai actually saw "this gift," he was completely shocked and speechless. A room in Lin Xu's house had been transformed into a giant cat-themed anime house at some point.
There's a big cat pillow on the bed, a big cat plush toy on the sofa, and even the center of the rug has a big cat's smug face on it.
The bright and cozy glass display case showcases large cats of various shapes and sizes. Some have particularly cute expressions, while others have a mischievous look. All of them have the same round little belly, and these large cats are just so authentic.
It's awesome to suddenly have so many exclusive yellow buckets!
"What is this made of?" She picked one up and examined it.
"Super light clay".
"My goodness, this is so realistic! Your hands are amazing!" You can cook, make BJD dolls, make doll clothes, and now you've added super light clay to your repertoire.
Lin Xu remained calm about this, saying in a serious tone, "I'll still wash my underwear with a cold face."
"No, what have you been looking at? Nobody in our family mistreats you, we don't do that kind of thing." Xu Huaihuai suppressed a laugh as her boyfriend's humor was too much. "What's that cabinet over there?"
The cabinets on the other side are more spacious and have curtains that can be opened and closed.
The light-colored, clear curtain appears mysterious compared to other transparent glass doors.
"Open it and take a look."
"What is it? You seem a little nervous?" Xu Huaihuai's hand touched the soft curtain. "Why don't you give me a hint first?"
"The pink star you love."
She pulled back the curtain and was completely stunned.
It's so heartwarming!
The BJD doll's accuracy is so high, it's like hearing a familiar voice for a moment.
She looked into her pink eyes and whispered, "Her name is Nuannuan, also known as Pink Star. Her wish is that no girl in the world will have a stomachache."
