Chapter 514 Turning the Tide of Battle
Kong Wange used this marketing tactic to escalate the situation, partly for her own benefit, and partly to indirectly seek justice for these disfigured girls.
Old Yang's video ended, but its popularity didn't drop. His video was instantly shared by netizens on various platforms.
In an instant, everyone was in an uproar.
What the heck? The disfigured face turned into a beauty serum? This plot twist is too fast!
These two names are so different, how could he get them mixed up? Men are really unreliable, speechless.
I just threw away my intestinal cleansing pills two days ago, but I have a whole bag of beauty serum left over. So sad...
[Thank goodness I didn't take sides last time. I knew it! All my friends are using Changqingwan (a traditional Chinese medicine), and it works great; they've had no problems at all. I was wrong after all!]
[...]
Driven by this trend, more and more young women have dared to stand up and post on Weibo to expose the adverse reactions of the beauty serum, which led to their disfigurement.
As time went on, the beauty serum issue escalated.
Suddenly, everyone put aside their prejudices against "Changqing Pills" and turned their attention to attacking "Beauty Liquid".
Kong Wange smiled slightly, forwarded Lao Yang's video, and wrote: "Doctors are benevolent. I can't bear to criticize you too much for what you've been through. Trust me, you can try Changqing Pills. They should be effective."
This statement pushed the buzz to a new high.
There was even a spontaneous hashtag #ChangqingwanWeOweYouAnApology# that was pushed to the top three in terms of popularity.
#Where to buy Intestinal Light Pills#
#Intestine-Light Beef Balls#
#I previously stockpiled a lot of intestinal health pills, and am now sincerely selling them. Interested ladies, please DM me.#
Many other topics have also appeared on the trending list.
Inside the clinic, Uncle Wu looked at the chaotic scene and walked to a corner where no one was paying attention to send a message to Kong Wange: "Miss Kong, Miss Wen is furious. Yesterday, several bosses who had previously agreed to orders with her wanted to break their contracts, saying they would replace the beauty essence with intestinal-lightening pills, or else she would have to pay compensation!"
Kong Wange smiled and typed back, "Okay, I understand."
...
That night, some were happy while others were sad.
Sure enough, the next morning Kong Wange received a question from Wen Zhengning. The person who came was an old servant of the Wen family, who said that the head of the family wanted to talk to her in the study.
Now, all the bosses are specifically asking to use Changqing Pills to replace the beauty essence. Since Wen Zhengning and his team don't have the formula for Changqing Pills, they will naturally come to ask her for help. All of this was within Kong Wange's expectations.
She dressed neatly and followed the maid to Wen Zhengning's study.
Upon seeing Kong Wange arrive in the study, Wen Zhengning put down the book he was holding.
"Uncle, you were looking for me?"
Wen Zhengning raised his hand: "Sit down."
Kong Wange readily agreed and sat down gracefully.
"Wange, at the morning meeting a few days ago, your uncle removed you from your position as the person in charge. Do you resent your uncle?"
Wen Zhengning rarely spoke to her in such a gentle tone; he was flexible and adaptable, truly a remarkable person.
Kong Wange smiled gently: "Uncle, what are you saying? After what happened, it was right of you not to let Wange be the manager. It just so happens that I've been wanting to spend more time with the children."
Kong Wange deftly deflected Wen Zhengning's words, silencing him completely.
Knowing that beating around the bush was useless, Wen Zhengning simply said, "Wange, I've seen what happened online. You've been wronged in this matter. Luo Yun also came to talk to me this morning. Our Wen family has always been fair in rewarding and punishing. Since it's a misunderstanding, Luo Yun should return the clinic to you. What do you think?"
Kong Wange found it amusing.
Wen Zhengning's attitude clearly indicated that he believed she would definitely agree.
But in reality, it is he who is being controlled by others.
If she can't go back and use the Intestinal Cleansing Pill to make up for the contracts that Wen Luoyun signed for the beauty liquid, the huge breach of contract penalty alone, caused by the scandal involving the beauty liquid, would be enough to give the Wen family a hard time.
She now holds such a large bargaining chip; it wouldn't be in her nature not to try and gain some benefits.
Kong Wange looked like she was not up to the task and immediately declined, saying, "Uncle is too kind. Cousin Luo Yun is smart and capable, so please let her work hard for a few more days. I need to think about returning to the clinic."
Wen Zhengning paused for a moment, then frowned: "So, you don't want to come back?"
Kong Wange smiled absentmindedly: "It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I do have some concerns."
If Wen Zhengning still couldn't understand what Kong Wange meant after all this, he would be a fool.
He bluntly said, "Your uncle knows you've been wronged. Just tell me what it would take for you to come back."
Kong Wange looked at Wen Zhengning: "Will my uncle agree if I say so?"
Wen Zhengning looked at her and said, "Tell me about it. As long as it's not too outrageous, I'm willing to consider it."
Kong Wange nodded: "Then I'll be frank. First, I'll definitely start selling Changqing Pills again after I get back. At the same time, I hope that the Herbal Anti-Aging Cream, which was previously suspended by my uncle, can also be put back on the shelves for sale."
"Secondly, I'm sure you understand that the 'Youthful Skin Cream 2nd Generation' sold by Liuhetang is blatant plagiarism and riding on the coattails of a trending product. This medicine can be sold, but I hope that the name and packaging can be changed, and that it can stop deceiving consumers under the guise of youthful skin cream."
"Third, since the beauty essence has caused such a problem, I hope to promote the Intestinal Cleansing Pill in all of the Wen family's medical clinics."
After stating these three conditions, Wen Zhengning fell silent.
Kong Wange was not in a hurry and calmly took a sip of the tea on the table.
After a long pause, Wen Zhengning said, "I can agree to the first and second points, but I need to think about the third point again."
Kong Wange made three demands to give both sides room for negotiation, knowing that the chances of getting Wen Zhengning to agree were slim.
Especially the third point: the prescription for Changqing Pills is in her hands, and the sales are so good. Once it is promoted in all the clinics of the Wen family, it will inevitably squeeze the sales space of other products. In the long run, the lifeline of the Wen family will really be in her hands.
It's understandable that Wen Zhengning had reservations and was unwilling to promote it throughout the entire medical center.
However, being able to win the first two points and recover two points is already quite good.
Beauty serums are no longer a popular product.
As long as the herbal anti-aging cream is re-released and Wen Luoyun isn't allowed to ride on their coattails, she believes their sales, both on the HaoTuan APP and offline, will be even higher than before.
As for the third point, there will be other opportunities in the future.
Kong Wange smiled slightly and put down her teacup: "Alright, since Uncle is so straightforward, Wange shouldn't be shy. I'll go back to the clinic tomorrow."
Wen Zhengning hummed in agreement, then said, "There's something else I need to tell you in advance. These past few days, while Luo Yun was managing the clinic, he signed several orders for beauty serum with a few business owners. Now that the incident happened online, those business owners are thinking of replacing the beauty serum with Intestinal Cleansing Pills."
"Oh? Is that so?" Kong Wange pretended to know nothing.
