Chapter 145 – Li WangJin is Dead (2)
Now everything was coming crashing down online. There were so many behind-the-scene complaints and refund requests that customer service couldn’t handle them even working overtime. They had to hire a few more to help out.
The only thing that Zhang Bi could think of right now was that there was something wrong with the formula. Perhaps Li WangJin and joined hands with his ex-wife just to set them up. Even though Li WangJin seemed to stand to lose a lot in this incident. He must have invested 3 billion yuan in total. But the Zhang’s didn’t make out any better. Their brand had been established for dozens of years and was well liked among the public. Now that they had suffered such a setback over the Cherry Blossom Pills, these were all intangible losses.
Recalling all of the complaints that he had received from his clan, Zhang Bi’s eyes reddened when he saw Li WangJin. He would never become the heir of the Zhang’s if this massive investment failed. His cousins had already been eyeing his position and always prepared to dethrone him. And not only them. There was also Jiang WenYu, the one who should have died but disappeared. His existence was like a thorn in his throat.
Li WangJin was equally upset. “Why didn’t you say it was the Zhang’s techniques that caused the issue? Fang JunRong, as a total amateur could make this happen but the Zhang’s somehow failed miserably. I am telling you, it is the same formula. The only difference was that she import her water from elsewhere.
“You can’t tell me that it all come down to the water. How much difference can spring water make?”
Isn’t wall water the same?
Li WangJin absolutely refused to take the blame for this. He would not be able to undertake this loss on his own. He must push it back onto the Zhang’s.
The two who wished they could become brothers just a week ago now straight up pointing fingers at each other and things were getting ugly.
The two of them shouted at each other so much that their faces were red. At forty-something and being out of shape from letting himself go a while ago, Li WangJin’s breathing quickly become labored.
He took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. “Okay. Never mind which step the problem stemmed from. What do we do now?
Zhang Bi said coldly, “If the customers want a refund, you refund them. If they want additional compensation, you compensate them.”
One way or another, Yifang, as a brand, could not be dragged into this. If he had to pick between himself and Li WangJin to go down for this, naturally Zhang Bi would pick Li WangJin to go down. Most of the money invested up to this point came from Li WangJin. It wasn’t too late for them to stop their loss at this point.
Li WangJin was so angry that he almost fell on his back. This b*stard! He was going to let him cover all of the loss?
Staring at Zhang Bi, he said, “You, you, you can’t do that!”
Zhang Bi sneered, pulled out his cellphone, located a document and clicked on it. Out come Li WangJin’s voice.
“Fang JunRong was too naïve. She didn’t even know how to guard her formula carefully so I was able to get my hand on it easily. This field is not for her. I had overprotected her in the past. She is better off staying in her ivory tower and be the little princess that she is.
“She didn’t know how to appease her employees either. She thinks that high pay is enough to keep her employees. How would high pay measure up to stocks? Look. All I have to do was to offer a little bit of shares and I was able to take employees from her.
“That being said. She was the one who started down this path first. I can’t believe she had been hiding this formula from me this whole time. All well, what goes around comes around.”
Li WangJin felt a chill from the bottom up. He hadn’t expected that during the most harmonious moment of their cooperation Zhang Bi had not forgotten to keep some of his dirt. He vaguely remembered saying that when he was half-way drunk.
Staring fiercely at Zhang Bi, he said, “Wonderful. Just wonderful!”
He had no choice but to eat the loss. Thinking about the tens of billion yuan in deficit, everything went dark in front of Li WangJin and he lost consciousness.
