Lin An left, and Lin Wan could no longer hold back her tears and burst into sobs.
Seeing this, the shop owner felt sorry for her and worried that her crying like this would affect his business, so he reminded her:
"Miss Lin, are you alright? You came here to pawn something, didn't you?"
Lin Wan covered her mouth and nodded.
The shopkeeper asked helplessly, "Where's the stuff? Let me see it."
Lin Wan handed over the two bags, tears streaming down her face.
She asked, sobbing, "Boss, can these two...can these two bags be worth 300,000?"
Previously, the boss would definitely have negotiated the price down to over 200,000, but now he just wanted to get rid of Lin Wan as soon as possible:
"Alright, you look so pitiful. You're selling your bags to save your mother, so how about 300,000?"
The boss completed the formalities as quickly as possible and saw Lin Wan off.
"Tsk tsk tsk, life is unpredictable. They both have the surname Lin, but the difference is so great!"
......
Lin Haoran was incredibly motivated at the company, leading all employees to work overtime to prepare for the launch of new products and conduct simultaneous online and offline marketing.
Celine baby moisturizing cream is the product that Lin Haoran has invested the most money, time, and energy in.
In the chairman's office, Lin Haoran stood before the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the night view of Shanghai. His heart pounded with excitement. He dialed Yang Li's number; he wanted to share his joy before victory with the woman he loved.
"Darling, why haven't you come to see me lately? I hate you." Yang Li's voice was sickeningly sweet.
Lin Haoran chuckled and coaxed:
"Honey, don't be angry. I'm busy making money for you to spend."
"So how much did you earn?"
"I haven't made any money yet, but the product has already sold hundreds of thousands of pre-orders. It will be even more popular when it officially launches tomorrow. I won't be able to count all the money then," Lin Haoran proudly stated, adding that he would soon be making a fortune.
Yang Li exclaimed sincerely, "Really? You're so amazing, darling!"
She immediately started planning how to spend Lin Haoran's money now that he was rich.
"Haha, after tomorrow, you can buy whatever you want." Lin Haoran wished these past few hours would disappear as quickly as possible, and that time would jump directly to tomorrow.
"Then could you please move them to a detached villa?"
Yang Li's current residence is a townhouse, which she always complains to Lin Haoran about not being grand enough.
“Okay, no problem.” Lin Haoran readily agreed. He genuinely believed he could turn the tables this time, and buying his darling a villa was nothing.
"Haoran, I love you so much! Come see me as soon as you're done with your work. I miss you." Yang Li drew out the last three words, which had a captivating power.
Lin Haoran's heart was itching with desire, and he said impatiently, "Baby, I miss you too, I'll come tomorrow night..."
The knocking on the door interrupted Lin Haoran's words, pulling him out of his flirtatious mood. He tried to ignore it, but the knocking became increasingly urgent.
"Chairman? Are you there?" came the anxious voice of the vice president.
Lin Haoran had no choice but to hang up the phone: "Honey, I have something to do, I'll call you back later."
Lin Haoran frowned, sat down in the boss's chair, and said loudly, "Come in!"
He wanted to see what important business this clueless vice president had that had to spoil his fun at this time.
The vice president, having received permission, hurriedly walked in:
"Chairman, something terrible has happened. Media reports indicate that our baby face cream contains excessive hormones. Consumers who have already pre-sold the products are demanding refunds and triple compensation."
"Nonsense! This is a product developed by Celine Biotechnology, there's no way it could have a problem," Lin Haoran roared, his eyes wide.
The vice president took out his phone and opened a news video.
The video begins by emphasizing the importance of safety for infant and toddler products, but then the camera suddenly cuts to a baby moisturizing cream.
"Celine Biotechnology's latest baby moisturizing cream is leading the nation in pre-sales, touting high technology and claiming to be all-natural and additive-free. But is that really the case?"
"According to authoritative testing, this baby moisturizing cream contains hormones at levels exceeding the standard by up to ten times, which has a significant impact on the physical development of infants and young children, and long-term use may lead to..."
Lin Haoran's head throbbed, and he was completely dumbfounded.
All the money in the company's accounts and the Lin family's accounts has been invested. If things don't turn around, all that money will be wasted. If they have to compensate the consumers who bought the pre-sale tickets, they will probably have to spend tens of millions more. This time, the loss is more than 200 million yuan, which is a devastating blow to the Lin family who are already in trouble.
"Impossible, this is impossible..." Lin Haoran muttered to himself in a panic.
The video showed the national inspection report, highlighting the harmful ingredients in the baby lotion in red and enlarged, clearly displayed on the screen.
After the video ended, the vice president opened the comments section and found a barrage of criticism, all condemning the unscrupulous merchants and heartless agents.
"Chairman, the product is officially launching tomorrow. With this kind of thing breaking out at this crucial moment, won't we be targeted?"
Lin Haoran was so panicked that he was completely lost and unable to think.
The vice president was right; someone was indeed targeting them—Lin An.
However, Lin An was not as narrow-minded as they thought.
In his past life, Lin An saw on the news that children who had become "big-headed babies" because of using hormone products had been turned into big-headed babies. Their parents were filled with remorse and cried bitterly in front of the camera. The young children, unaware of what was happening, were still laughing and playing in front of the camera. Little did the children know that those unscrupulous products had left indelible marks on them, and the damage was irreversible.
Reborn into this life, Lin An didn't want any of his children to use this product. He paid for someone to go to Beijing to test it and found a media outlet to expose it before the product was officially released. He just wanted to take care of the Lin family as well.
Seeing that Lin Haoran remained silent, the vice president asked anxiously, "Chairman, what should we do?"
"Where's Lin Wan? Quickly call her to the company." Lin Haoran thought of his capable daughter again at this moment.
The vice president expressed his difficulty: "Chairman, the general manager is, after all, family to you. It would be better if you contacted her instead."
Workaholic Lin Wan hadn't been to the company for over a week, and the vice president had long suspected that there was a problem within the Lin family. He was a seasoned veteran in the workplace, and he preferred to stay out of things if possible.
The vice president thoughtfully picked up the landline on his desk and dialed Lin Wan's number for Lin Haoran.
Like taking care of a child, she handed the microphone to Lin Haoran and tactfully withdrew from the chairman's office.
Lin Wan, who was in the hospital, had barely managed to arrange Zhang Wanru's surgery the next day. She was on the verge of collapse when she saw the caller ID showing her father's office landline. Her nose tingled with sadness.
Her father finally remembered that he had a wife who needed surgery.
