Chapter 174: Self-Investigation
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Since Lu Li was still angry, Ling Xue started to cry. “I’m sorry, Lu Li. I was brought up in such an environment since I was young. The lipstick I used to use was only ten dollars each, and the eyebrow pencil was only one dollar each. I didn’t know that there would be bad effects from it.”
Of course, bringing up the past would always be a sore spot for Lu Li. She lived in the slums. Even if she was wrong, it was not her fault.
Lu Li heard that she used cosmetics that cost a few dollars and pulled her over. “Ling Xue, I know you’ve suffered a lot, but selling fake products will bring on complaints. We must have countermeasures in the future.”
She had already thought of a countermeasure before Lu Li came.
“Lu Li, I can’t tell the brands of these cosmetics. The netizens might not be able to tell either.” Ling Xue wiped her tears. “And didn’t Pei Xin also sell cosmetics from this brand? 1 heard that she sold twenty thousand sets. Would that mean hers is fake?”
Lu Li’s eyes lit up. “That’s right. Even if she had the authorization, she might still be selling fake goods.”
Ling Xue knew that he had already thought of diverting the blame. She quickly said, “I’ve already asked my assistant to appease the person who complained. She asked us to compensate her with money. As long as we can give her enough money, she won’t target us. Instead, we can ask her to blame Pei Xin for the issue.”
Although Ling Xue knew that there were shopping records online, so what? She would be satisfied as long as someone complained about Pei Xin’s product.
When Pei Xin started another live again, she got in trouble.
In the middle of the live, a netizen suddenly kept saying that the cosmetics she bought were fake.
Initially, Pei Xin didn’t want to pay attention to it, but more and more trolls started to pester her, so she had no choice but to address it. Ultimately, she had to accept the call in front of the live.
What appeared in front of everyone was a face that was swollen from an allergic reaction. Not only was the face swollen and red, but some of the damaged areas were also oozing pus.
“Pei Xin, look at what you’ve done!” The other party revealed her face and immediately put on a show. It was obvious that there were many spots on her head.
“A few days ago, I bought some cosmetics from your live. The set was fake, but I only found out after I used it.” She kept crying and did not dare to let her tears fall on her face. “My face is completely ruined. You have to compensate me! Otherwise, I’ll sue you!”
She shouted at the top of her lungs. The trolls continued to lead the way. Many netizens who did not know the truth were shocked, and Pei Xin’s sales stopped.
“Madam, please calm down.” Pei Xin said calmly, “I deeply sympathize with your experience. If you really bought a fake, I’ll pay you ten times the amount for compensation.”
“What’s the use?! What about my face?” The other party roared.
Pei Xin nodded seriously. “You’re right. It looks very serious. We’ll take full responsibility. We won’t let our consumers suffer from our mishaps.”
She glanced at Tian Yuan beside her. The other party crossed her hands and then shook her head, indicating that he did not find this person’s shopping record in their system.
Right then, Pei Xin came up with an idea.
“Please tell us your order number in front of all the netizens. The staff will verify it now. Also, you must keep the cosmetics you received in the box. We will also call the police later to do some tests and identify the ingredients that triggered your allergy.”
Upon hearing that Pei Xin was going to call the police, the other party panicked. “I threw it away a long time ago. Why should I keep something that harmed me?”
Pei Xin continued to nod. “You’re right. Can you provide the order record and the logistics order number to me? It’s okay if you don’t have the shipping number. You can give me your contact information. I’ll go to the courier company to verify the information. It is our responsibility after all.”
“Do you not believe me? Do you think I’m here to extort money?” The woman’s voice trembled as she took off her mask. “My face is ruined! Would I lie to you? I’m asking you to compensate me now!”
She looked at the camera and shed tears. “Don’t be deceived by Pei Xin. She’s a viper. She sold fake cosmetics to trick us! As far as I know, I’m not the only one who received fake goods. I’ve read comments of others receiving the same fate.”
The more she spoke, the more excited she became. Some people started to echo her, and some even asked for a refund.
Pei Xin still had a smile on her face. “It’s okay. Since you can’t provide this evidence, we will investigate it ourselves to ensure that you are properly compensated. Tian Yuan, call the police..”
