Chapter 22
Back in the office, Manon immediately dialed someone's phone. "Have you seen the news? Help me find out what's going on. Don't alert anyone until you find out the truth."
"What? Planning to use a long line to catch a big fish?" The person over the phone didn't say much, as he was well aware of Manon's style of doing things. He just casually joked.
Manon didn't care about his teasing and just snorted, "There's no big fish, but there are plenty of clowns jumping around."
After hearing her words, he had a rough idea of what was going on and shook his head witha smile. "Hahaha, you better be careful."
What good idea does a jumping clown have?
"Hurry up and go." Manon rolled her eyes and hung up the phone.
The guy was always efficient, and within half a day, a detailed piece of evidence was sent to manon's computer.
Looking at the several transfer records and the news of Claire's meeting with the troublemaking relatives, a coldness flashed in Manon's eyes.
This other woman of her father is really...
A person who is asking for trouble If she doesn't help her out, it will seem like she's not generous enough.
Her gaze lowered, and Manon's expression turned cold.
Those who claimed to have used the fake products had actually concealed their medical history and allergies!
Ha!
This plan of Claire's was really well-executed!
Manon tapped her fingers slowly on the desk, carefully examining the evidence.
If she were to release the evidence now, Claire might just deny it outright.The public opinion towards her was not friendly at the moment. If she were to release the evidence, the netizens might not believe it. Although it didn't matter whether the netizens believed it or not, as long as the police did, she couldn't help but think about Anderson group's business. If she took over Anderson but had a bad reputation, then...
For a moment, Manon had a headache. She half-closed her eyes, thinking quickly about a countermeasure. After a while, she opened her eyes slightly and squinted. She was always one to take revenge, and she hoped that Claire could withstand her counterattack...
At the entrance of the Anderson mansion, the reporters saw Manon being escorted away by the guards. They greeted the camera men and patted the victim in front of the gate before leaving disappointedly. However, not long after they left, they saw several people running towards them in a hurry. When they saw them, their eyes lit up, and they walked straight over and knelt down with a "thump." The reporters were startled and looked at each other. One of them hurried to pull them up, but they refused to get up and instead looked at the reporters with tears in their eyes."We are several retailer's owners under Anderson group. We are innocent!"
"Yes, I have been selling cosmetics for decades, and I have always purchased from Anderson group. How could I sell fake products?! They are forcing me to die!"
The reporters were confused, and seeing their expressions of grief, they realized that they were not lying, and felt a little sympathetic.
"Well...you can get up first."
But the people shook their heads and looked at them pleadingly.
"They are slandering us. You are reporters, please give us a fair chance!"
"Yes, please!"The reporters looked at each other and, feeling sorry for them, said, "If what you say is true, we will investigate."
Manon sat in front of her computer, watching the media's video of some retailer's pleading for her innocence trending on social media. She smiled and opened Anderson's official account, posting the prepared PR statement.
"Do we still need to keep the trend going?" A voice came from her phone.
"No need. Send out the medical history of allergies," Manon replied, her smile growing wider.
"OK." He hung up the phone . Manon propped her chin up with one hand, ready to watch the show on Instagram.
The guy acted quickly, and soon the media received the news of the medical history of allergies. Instagram exploded with the news.
The people who were just criticizing the Anderson owner for pleading their innocence turned their attention to the news. They clicked on the link with curiosity, but their brains went blank when they saw the medical history. They quickly changed their target of criticism.
"What the hell is this? They knew they had allergies and still dared to use the products?"
"Are these people trying to extort money from Anderson group?""It's terrifying to think about it. I heard that many people in Anderson don't even recognize Manon, as the CEO. Could it be...?" This netizen didn't dare to continue guessing and left a meaningful ellipsis for everyone.
"The upstairs is right. I just looked back at the comments about the fake products, and most of them were actually cursing Manon!"
"Oh my God! Go check out the message from Anderson official account. It's so pitiful!"
The people who were still criticizing turned their attention to the message, and their condemnation became even more angry.
Regarding the fake products incident, Anderson offers the deepest apologies to the victims who have been harmed. We have already started investigating the source of the fake products and are committed to helping patients recover. Anderson also promises to do our best to meet the demands of the families of the patients.
"This is outrageous! They're even making demands?"
"Looks like they're just trying to extort Anderson."
"They're definitely trying to deceive us! My family has been buying cosmetics from Anderson group for years without any problems. Today's incident really scared me.""...Are those patients trying to make fools out of us?!"
...
Manon smiled and tapped the table happily. She took out her phone and logged into her verified Instagram account, forwarding Anderson official account's public relations post and tagging them.
I know I'm young and can't fully manage Anderson, so I've listened to the advice of my elders and worked hard as the general manager. Anderson is something my mother left for me, and it holds great significance. I've been working diligently in my position these past few days, doing my job well. I don't know what I did to make everyone hate me so much...
I hope the media can clear Anderson name. If it really is Anderson responsibility, as the future manager of Anderson's, I will definitely give everyone an explanation.
As soon as the post was uploaded, it immediately caught people's attention, and everyone rushed to the comments section to comfort her .
"Waaah, the little girl is so pitiful. She doesn't know anything and is getting cyberbullied."
"This is too much!""They're bullying her!"
"If it's really Anderson group fault, as the general manager and future manager, she should take responsibility."
"Yeah, exactly. How old is Manon anyway?"
"Did anyone else notice how she was being cyberbullied but still tried to stand up for herself?"
"I'm not alone in noticing, I also think that the young lady is amazing. To have such responsibility at such a young age!"
"I was wrong, I'll go delete my previous comments. The young lady is so pitiful...""Right, right, I'll do the same."
