Following her instructions, the factory manager turned on a flashlight and indeed discovered the color difference.
They then carefully touched and felt the materials with gloves and found that Song Nuan was right; the fake materials were not smooth, presumably because other ingredients were added during the manufacturing process.
He was utterly shocked and delighted. "Mr. Song, are you a professional?"
Song Nuan smiled faintly, "No."
"How could you tell the difference between real and fake so quickly? You're amazing!" the factory manager praised without reservation. "I never expected someone like you, who isn't a professional, to be so capable. I didn't even notice."
"It's not complicated. The raw materials were tested before being put into storage and were all fine. There was a fire in the warehouse and the materials had to be moved. The only time they could be replaced was at that time."
She calmly analyzed, "You said the testing department came last night, but the media came this morning. The method of framing them is crude and obvious. If you look closely, you can find the difference between the two batches of materials."
The factory manager was pleased and deliberately said to Qin Yuchuan, "Vice President, I told you it wasn't a problem with the temporary warehouse."
Qin Yuchuan's face was so black it looked like ink could drip from it.
How dare a mere factory manager, who relies on the Qin family for his livelihood, openly and subtly mock him?
His pride made him eager to find flaws and prove that Song Nuan was not that capable.
He said coldly, "The raw materials were replaced during the process of the temporary component warehouse. Such a big thing, and you two made a mistake in your work, and you still dare to make excuses?"
Song Nuan narrowed her eyes slightly, "Vice President, there is currently no evidence to prove where or when the materials were replaced. What I just said was just my speculation."
"you--"
"I will take charge of the investigation. The vice president doesn't need to rush to assign blame." She calmly shut Qin Yuchuan up.
His face turned pale and ashen, and he was indeed unable to speak.
"President Song, this matter has become quite complicated, and it won't be easy to investigate. Where do you plan to start?" The factory manager asked with a worried expression.
Many of the workers who built the temporary warehouse were hired from outside the factory, since there were other jobs to be done and they couldn't afford to be short-staffed.
Hiring external workers means that the investigation will face significant obstacles.
Song Nuan knew this, so she didn't plan to investigate herself. "Factory manager, let's call the police."
She briefly explained her thoughts to the factory manager, gave him some instructions, and after resolving the troublesome matter, she returned to the company with Qin Yuchuan.
"Have the public relations department draft a statement and release it quickly. Also, post all the quality inspection documents from before the materials were put into storage, as well as the police report receipts, online. Contact the Berlin office and explain the situation."
Song Nuan had a clear mind and remained calm, with each solution hitting the mark.
There were even some things that Qin Yuchuan hadn't expected.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Song Nuan frowned, "What are you standing there for?"
Qin Yuchuan pursed his lips slightly and said to his assistant Zheng Siyuan, "Do as she says. There's no need to contact Berlin anymore. Go and prepare a gift. I'll personally visit them this afternoon."
Zheng Siyuan responded and gave instructions to the various departments.
“Berlin’s situation cannot be delayed any longer.” Song Nuan disagreed with his approach.
The media has already come knocking this morning, and Berlin will soon know about this. It is of utmost importance for the Qin family to make their stance clear.
After a busy morning, Qin Yuchuan was also a little tired.
He closed his eyes, rubbed his throbbing temples, and said in a deep voice, "You've done enough, Song Nuan. You don't need to worry about this anymore. Just do your job."
Clearly, Qin Yuchuan didn't want her to interfere anymore.
Song Nuan had never felt so pathetic as she did at this moment. He had only been there a short while, yet he already looked exhausted.
She rolled her eyes, picked up her bag, and left.
The door slammed shut.
Zheng Siyuan hesitated before speaking, "Vice President, President Song has worked at Qin's for many years and is indeed very capable of maintaining major clients. Perhaps we should..."
Listen to her.
Feeling Qin Yuchuan's icy gaze, Zheng Siyuan swallowed the last four words back down.
*
The incident was quickly posted online by the media, but the headlines were even more shocking than Song Nuan had anticipated.
#Berlin jewelry stores sell toxic jewelry at high prices#
#Berlin reported for excessive heavy metals in raw materials#
#Berlin Jewelry is under the Li family's control#
When Song Nuan scanned the last tag, her eyes widened in shock. She immediately called the public relations department and angrily said, "Is no one paying attention to online news? Quickly suppress the trending topics about the Li family!"
"But Mr. Qin..."
"Ignore the other trending topics in Berlin, suppress the hashtags related to the Li family at all costs!" Qin Yuchuan's voice rang out from behind.
The public relations director responded and quickly relayed the order.
It's rare to see the two of them so in agreement.
Song Nuan rushed out of the office and saw Qin Yuchuan. It was already afternoon. She frowned. "Haven't you gone to Berlin to find Lin Jingwen yet?"
"Involving the Li family, which do you think is more important?" he asked coldly.
Song Nuan was furious.
"Is this your excuse for giving me the cold shoulder?" Her eyes flashed with anger as she looked at Zheng Siyuan. "Give me the gift you prepared, and I'll go there myself."
What a terrible teammate!
Qin Yuchuan felt embarrassed after being reprimanded by her in front of everyone.
Just as he was about to say something, Fang Yu rushed out of the elevator in a panic, "Sister Song, something bad has happened! Lin Jingwen is here, waiting for you in the office. She looks very angry."
The atmosphere seemed to freeze almost instantly, and even the wind seemed to slow down.
Song Nuan pursed her lips. "Let's go."
Qin Yuchuan followed after him with a grim expression.
Inside the elevator, Qin Yuchuan stared straight ahead and said in a deep voice, "Song Nuan, I'll handle Lin Jingwen's situation."
Without looking up, she took out her phone and texted Lu Ziyang and An Sze, coldly scoffing, "Qin Yuchuan, what else can you do well?"
Fang Yu also looked on with disdain.
With a ding, the elevator doors opened.
Qin Yuchuan's face turned ashen, and before he could retort, Song Nuan had already run away like the wind.
He followed closely behind with a sullen face.
The moment she pushed open the door, Song Nuan's face lit up with a smile, "President Lin."
Lin Jingwen did not come alone; she was accompanied by a man in a suit, who was not tall and wore frameless glasses. He looked very intellectual.
Song Nuan had a strange, ominous feeling.
"Young Master Qin didn't come?" Lin Jingwen nodded slightly to her and asked.
Song Nuan didn't want to mention him, so she vaguely brushed it off, "President Qin is busy. If President Lin has anything to say, just tell me. It's a coincidence, I was planning to go to Berlin this morning, but something came up and I was delayed. I didn't expect you to come."
Qin Yuchuan walked to the door and had just pushed it open when he heard Song Nuan's words.
He paused, suddenly overwhelmed by a flood of complex and indescribable emotions.
She actually...didn't mention him once, and just took on the responsibility of neglecting Berlin and responding passively.
Qin Yuchuan felt a tightness in his chest, a mix of indescribable joy and sorrow. Was she taking the blame for him, or did she simply look down on his work ability?
Inside the office, Lin Jingwen spoke again, "President Song, the contract terms were drafted by us together. Now that you have violated the contract, I'm sorry, Berlin has decided to terminate the contract with you."
