Chapter 160: Skin care products contain banned ingredients

Shen Zhaoshan thought that half of Shen Linglan's laboratory building was vacant, but in fact, there were staff on every floor, and the utilization rate was extremely high, and people often worked overtime. Shen Linglan sometimes paid them more overtime than their wages.

Although the investment in health products is small, they are sold in high volumes. Especially after winter, the supply often exceeds the demand. When there are promotional activities such as the e-commerce festival, SZ Biosciences even asks the laboratory staff to work overtime.

There is no need to talk about Zhang Shengnan. Shen Linglan even set aside an office for her to rest because she loved to work overtime. Zhou Xueer also went to the lounge to rest for a few nights and told Shen Linglan that the bed in the lounge was softer and more comfortable than the one at home.

In addition, Zhang Shengnan also asked her students to come to the laboratory to mass-produce soil purifiers and water purifiers so that Zhao Yunduo could use them at any time.

The entire experimental building has five floors, and no floor is vacant.

The statement of 100,000 just now was naturally to deceive Shen Zhaoshan, in order to anger Shen Zhaoshan and make him say something outrageous, so that the police would come to find him.

However, Shen Linglan did not hold out hope that Shen Zhaoshan might be arrested, after all, Shen Zhaoshan only talked about it verbally and did not take any actual action. Besides, Shen Zhaoshan was an entrepreneur who could increase a lot of local fiscal revenue. In this regard, Shen Zhaoshan's verbal threats were just a formality.

The police officer could at most give Shen Zhaoshan a verbal lecture, but he couldn't detain him.

However, it is enough to give Shen Zhaoshan a warning and let him know that Shen Linglan is not someone to be trifled with now.

Shen Linglan felt much better after receiving a text message from the policeman saying that Shen Zhaoshan had been taken back to the police station for questioning. She hummed a song while checking the message sent to her by Chen Mengxue.

"Miss, I went to a nearby supermarket and bought some skin care products. I have already sent them to the laboratory."

"knew."

The next afternoon, the inspection report of the skin care products came out.

The ingredients are ordinary and no different from ordinary skin care products. But the inspection report says: This product has obvious anti-aging and anti-aging effects on human facial skin.

The strange thing is that after analyzing the ingredients, there is no difference from Xiaobao Moisturizing Cream.

Shen Linglan read the inspection report over and over again, but still felt something was wrong.

Why is it that the whitening and anti-aging effects of these ingredients in other products are almost zero, but they are so effective in hawthorn?

Shen Linglan thought about it and decided to start from another aspect. She asked Chen Mengxue to find a PR team that specialized in buying and suppressing hot searches. She wanted all the hot search terms related to the "Hawthorn" brand.

Chen Mengxue was very efficient and sent the information to Shen Linglan in less than an hour. The information shocked Shen Linglan a little.

It was a PPT with a total of sixty pages. If you didn’t know, you might have thought it was a hot search about some celebrity in the entertainment industry.

In PP, each of the first thirty pages contains an entry that has been in the top ten hot searches.

"Hey guys, did you buy the annual package for the hot search of a certain software?"

Such phrases as "Hawthorn is useful", "Hawthorn - the pride of domestic products", "Hawthorn, the fairy water of the Chinese people", "Hawthorn returns your mother's skin to her", etc. Hawthorn is on the hot search list several times every month.

The next thirty pages are all negative reviews. Not only have they never been on the hot search list, they are also reviews issued after real use.

These posts are much more interesting than the above ones.

"Am I the only one who got a rotten face from using hawthorn?"

"Hawthorn works quickly, but when you stop using it, the reaction is huge."

"I admit that hawthorn is effective, but it's so effective that I'm a little scared."

"After using hawthorn, my wrinkles became much lighter, but after I stopped using it, they doubled. It's terrible."

"My face becomes rotten once I stop taking hawthorn!"

However, these reviews were deleted within five minutes of being posted, and were blocked by the platform.

“No wonder there are almost no negative reviews online. They are just full of praise for its usefulness.”

Shen Linglan had to admire Shen Zhaoshan's methods.

"According to the public relations agency, Shanzha pays them five to six million yuan in public relations maintenance fees every year, so they handled it quickly," said Chen Mengxue.

"But the strange thing is that the people there said that Hawthorn would not renew the fee this year, so when I asked, they told me everything."

Chen Mengxue even said with disdain, "Money really makes the world go round, but they are also quite unprofessional. Fortunately, I didn't reveal my name."

Shen Linglan did not find the PR agency's behavior surprising. This is the current environment: whoever gives more money is the boss, and whoever doesn't give money is the grandson.

She looked at the negative reviews and thought that something might have been added to "Hawthorn", but the people in the laboratory on the first floor couldn't find out what it was.

Shen Linglan tapped her hands on the table a few times, thinking about how to cause trouble for Shen Zhaoshan.

Suddenly she remembered that she had not found any negative comments when she searched online today, so she asked in confusion, "If Hawthorn does not renew the contract with the PR agency, then when will their current contract expire?"

"At the end of this month."

Shen Linglan glanced at the calendar on the table. Today was March 14th, and there was still a full half month left, but she couldn't wait any longer.

"Tomorrow is March 15th. Let's buy a trending search and ask the PR team how much we need to pay to keep the trending search on for half a day longer."

"Okay boss."

"The hot search terms are... Hawthorn contains banned ingredients that make people's skin addicted and have the risk of premature aging. I bought all three platforms: the short video platform, the Jiulang platform, and the Yaguchi platform."

"receive!"

Chen Mengxue wrote it down while thinking about who to contact later, when she suddenly heard Shen Linglan say:

"Also, buy another set of skin care products and give them to Professor Zhang for research."

"Ah!?" Chen Mengxue thought she had heard it wrongly. "Professor Zhang Shengnan?"

"Um."
