Chapter 184: Unfounded
"I didn't agree to your breaking up."
Chi Muzhen bit her lower lip and said, "I also said that it doesn't matter whether you agree or not."
"sorry."
Chi Muzhen paused her struggling and looked at Huo Yunting in surprise. She didn't expect him to apologize.
"It was my fault for asking someone to ban Shi Yiheng before. Don't be angry, okay?"
When meeting Huo Yunting's dark eyes, Chi Muzhen's heart seemed to be gently touched, and the corners of her lips unconsciously pursed.
Huo Yunting looked at her seriously, waiting for her answer.
Just as the two fell into silence, Chi Muzhen's cell phone suddenly rang.
Seeing that it was you, Chen Tian, she quickly answered the call. She didn't know what was said on the other end, but her expression suddenly became extremely serious.
After hanging up the phone, she looked at Huo Yunting and said, "Something happened at the company. I have to go back soon."
Huo Yunting didn't hesitate to ask her for an answer immediately. He nodded and said, "I'll take you there."
Arriving downstairs of MY, Chi Muzhen opened the car door and was about to get out when Huo Yunting spoke.
"I'll pick you up from get off work tonight."
She paused for a moment as she got out of the car, then whispered, "Okay."
It was not until Chi Muzhen walked into MY that Huo Yunting told the driver to drive back to Huo's.
As soon as Chi Muzhen walked out of the elevator, Shen Tian walked up to her with an ugly expression.
"Zhenzhen, we've checked. There's nothing unusual with the people the client and his family have met with these past few days. Furthermore, the client's family has refused to hand over the clothing for testing. They're already negotiating with their lawyer and won't settle privately. It seems they're determined to sue MY."
Chi Muzhen frowned and said, "The clothes we collected didn't contain any of the substances that caused the customer's allergies. They may not win the lawsuit even if they file a lawsuit."
Shen Tian nodded, "That's what I find strange. They're not in a hurry to claim compensation. It's like they just want to make this matter bigger."
"Well, go back first, I'll think about what to do."
After returning to his office, Chi Muzhen thought for a long time and decided to go to the hospital.
When he arrived at the door of the ward, Chi Muzhen found that except for the client's eighteen-year-old sister, no one else was there.
Seeing Chi Muzhen, the other party's eyes were full of resistance and anger, "What are you doing here?! Don't you think you haven't hurt my brother badly enough?! My brother can't even pay the medical bills. If my brother dies, you will be the executioner!"
Chi Muzhen walked up to her calmly and said, "As long as you are willing to give us your brother's clothes for testing, no matter what the result is, MY will cover your brother's medical expenses."
Wang Dan looked at her coldly, "Don't think I don't know you want to get that dress back and destroy the evidence. My mom said that as long as she doesn't give you the dress and makes a big deal about this, my brother will get compensation."
Chi Muzhen was not angry and said slowly: "But in all the clothes of the same style that we recalled, no substance that your brother is allergic to was detected."
"Your own testing tools are, of course, what you say they are. Anyway, I don't believe a word you say."
Seeing that she didn't listen to him, Chi Muzhen was silent for a while.
"All the clothes were produced in the same batch, so it's impossible for a single piece to have such a serious quality problem. Furthermore, it just so happens that your brother is allergic to that particular dye, and that particular piece of clothing has an excessive amount of the dye that caused your brother's allergy. Taking your brother to court won't do him any good. What he needs most right now is medical expenses, right?"
Based on the investigation over the past few days, Chi Muzhen is already very certain that the customer's allergy has nothing to do with MY.
The dye that he is allergic to is most likely something that was artificially added to the clothes after he bought them.
However, Chi Muzhen was not sure whether he was a victim or involved.
Wang Dan bit her lower lip, as if she was in a dilemma. Although she didn't want to admit it, she knew very well that what Chi Muzhen said was true.
She was unwilling to just give the clothes to Chi Muzhen.
Chi Muzhen was not in a hurry and handed her a business card.
"If you change your mind, you can always call me."
After saying that, she turned and left.
On the way back to the company, Chi Muzhen received a call from Shen Tian.
"Zhenzhen, where are you now? Several brand managers have come to us and want to terminate our contracts."
Chi Muzhen's hand holding the phone tightened unconsciously, and she said, "I'll be at the company in about half an hour."
"Okay, I understand."
When Chi Muzhen walked into the reception room, the people from the brand were already waiting impatiently. The moment they saw her, one of them sneered.
"Boss Chi is really busy. It's not easy to see him."
Ignoring the sarcasm in his tone, Chi Muzhen walked over to the main seat and sat down. She directly asked Xu Qing to send the documents to the managers and said calmly, "There are still six months before the contract expires. If you want to terminate the contract early, you will have to pay three times the liquidated damages according to the contract."
As soon as he finished speaking, the person who had spoken just now slammed the table, his eyes full of anger.
"Mr. Chi, please don't go too far. I'm sure you're well aware of the reason why we terminated our contract with MY. MY has already affected our brand image, and we've done our utmost by not seeking compensation!"
The person who spoke was Chu Yi, the project manager of the domestic first-line brand M in Rongcheng Shopping Mall.
Chi Muzhen smiled, but there was coldness in her eyes.
"Manager Chu, I really don't know the reason. How about you tell me?"
Chu Yi looked at her coldly, "Boss Chi, it's pointless to pretend to be ignorant when you know the truth. I don't want to embarrass everyone."
Chi Muzhen looked at him calmly and said word by word, "I also said that you can terminate the contract early, but you have to pay the penalty."
"you!"
Chu Yi gritted his teeth and looked at her, "Boss Chi, it's common knowledge in Chengdu that MY's dye caused a customer to suffer an allergic shock and is now in the intensive care unit. MY has affected our brand image, and we have the right to terminate the contract without any compensation. The contract clearly states this!"
Chi Muzhen looked calm and spoke slowly, "Manager Chu, it seems that this matter has not yet come to a conclusion. Isn't it a bit premature for you to draw a conclusion so early?"
Seeing that Chi Muzhen was not at all guilty, Chu Yi's face turned ashen with anger.
"The family of the customer who suffered the allergy has already filed a lawsuit. It's a foregone conclusion that MY used toxic dyes. Mr. Chi, I urge you to agree to terminate the contract now. Otherwise, if MY loses the case, the M family won't just terminate the contract!"
The threat in Chu Yi's words was not concealed at all, and even contained sarcasm and contempt.
However, Chi Muzhen showed no fear at all and said with a smile, "Then Manager Chu, please wait until the court's verdict is announced before terminating the contract."
Unexpectedly, Chi Muzhen was so stubborn. Chu Yi felt so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger. He stood up and looked at Chi Muzhen coldly and said, "Boss Chi, remember what you said today. I believe you will regret it soon!"
After saying that, Chu Yi left angrily.
The remaining two managers knew that MY would not agree to terminate the contract today, so they followed Chu Yi and left.
When the reception room fell silent again, Chen Tian looked at Chi Muzhen with some concern and said, "Zhenzhen, we've offended all these brands today. If MY loses the case later, they will definitely take advantage of the situation and ask MY for compensation. The losses will be even greater then."
The implication is that it is better to agree to terminate the contract now to avoid more trouble later.
"Aren't they just kicking someone when they're down? Don't worry about this. Just continue to find someone to talk to Wang Jin's parents."
Shen Tian nodded, “Okay.”
After resolving this matter, Chi Muzhen went straight back to the office to continue working.
Chu Yi was turned down by Chi Muzhen. He went back and became angrier and angrier. He decided to teach Chi Muzhen a lesson.
Soon, news broke online that MY refused to terminate the contract with the brand, which immediately caused a lot of discussion.
