2182 Twins

“In that case, Director Jiang, I won’t stand on ceremony. Please contact the legal team and the finance department.” Lu Mingjue stood up.

“Okay.” Jiang Mingfan apologized again. “I’m sorry.”

Lu Mingjue and Qiao Weiyang turned around and left. Jiang Mingfan was also very regretful. In his opinion, Qiao Weiyang’s image, temperament, and expression were very suitable for GK.

If they couldn’t cooperate now, then so be it.

When they passed by the studio, Lu Mingjue and Qiao Weiyang stopped in their tracks at the same time and looked in.

Seeing the person filming inside, Lu Mingjue shrugged. “This is her?”

“Tian Jingyao?” Qiao Weiyang also recognized her. She had seen Tian Guang many times before, so she had naturally seen Tian Jingyao before.

Thinking of Tian Guang, she realized that Tian Guang had taken the opportunity to let his daughter snatch this resource from her.

No wonder Tian Guang had such an attitude the last time she looked for him.

However, this was not the first time Tian Guang had displayed an attitude.

A few years ago, when the scandal about Qiao Weiyang being a drug addict broke out, she went to look for Tian Guang. At that time, Tian Guang stammered and refused to give her an answer.

However, not long after, Qiao Weiyang temporarily left the industry because she was pregnant and gave birth. She no longer had any contact with him.

Now that she thought about it, after she temporarily left the industry, many of her resources were given out. Apart from Qiao Jierou, Tian Jingyao also took over a large number of them.

Lu Mingjue sized up Tian Jingyao with his sharp and professional gaze. “She has a big nose and a short chin. Her image is not suitable for fashion at all. What’s GK thinking?”

“Forget it. We’ve achieved our goal anyway. It doesn’t matter who they choose to film.”

Lu Mingjue touched the tip of his nose and followed Qiao Weiyang out.

When Jiang Mingfan received Qiao Weiyang’s report, he took it very seriously and immediately called his superiors.

The person on the other end of the line was very arrogant. “You want us to investigate the amount of heavy metal? We’re using the most advanced standards in Europe now. How can there be such a problem? Mingfan, I know you’re in a bad mood because your plan with Qiao Weiyang didn’t work out. Even though the lipstick commercials and promotions are being handled by Jiayi, it doesn’t mean that the company doesn’t value you. Let’s leave this matter at that for the time being. Focus on the important things.”

“But…” Jiang Mingfan wanted to defend himself, but the other party had already hung up.

He pondered for a moment and called his assistant over. “Contact a professional testing agency and see if they can do a special test for this batch of lipsticks.”

“Okay.”

“Wait!” Before Jiang Mingfan’s assistant could leave, Qian Jiayi walked in.

“Director Jiang, what if you take the company’s products out for appraisal in private and it causes a negative impact?” Qian Jiayi walked over and picked up a lipstick. “I advise you not to do anything that will ruin your future.”

“If there’s nothing wrong with the products, it won’t cause any adverse effects. If there is something wrong, we’ll get all the stocks withdrawn and redefine the production standards to save the image of the entire company. The outside world will definitely understand our actions.” Jiang Mingfan had always prioritized business and didn’t think there was anything wrong with this.

“I advise you to forget it. No matter what the results of the examination are, the outside world might make a big deal out of it. At that time, you won’t be able to bear the loss of the brand’s image.” Qian Jiayi played with the lipstick and said in a disdainful tone, “Also, do you really believe Qiao Weiyang and Lu Mingjue’s words? They’re smart people. They’re just using this matter to salvage their dignity after their contract was terminated. Do you really take their words seriously? Besides, where did they do the test report? Don’t tell me they did it themselves?”

Jiang Mingfan knew that this was not Qiao Weiyang’s way of redeeming herself.

This was because they had wanted to tell him that there was something wrong with their lipsticks before they found out that Qiao Weiyang’s contract was terminated.

There was no need to use this excuse to save her dignity.

Jiang Mingfan could even tell that Qiao Weiyang did not intend to continue becoming their spokesperson because of this matter.

Seeing that Jiang Mingfan was silent, Qian Jiayi knocked on the table with the lipstick in his hand. “Director Jiang, I advise you not to do anything useless. Just think about how to do your job well.”

With that, Qian Jiayi turned around and left, walking toward the place where Tian Jingyao was filming the commercial.

The assistant asked awkwardly, “Director Jiang, are we still going to do this?”

“You can leave first.” Jiang Mingfan waved his hand.

When his assistant went out, he wrote a long email and sent it to several of his immediate superiors. Then, he called them and asked them to read the email.

Those people read it quickly and replied to him after reading it. [Work in peace. Quality isn’t something you should care about. The company has its own considerations.]

Receiving such a reply, the discomfort in Jiang Mingfan’s heart slowly rose.

It seemed that the higher-ups really did not intend to officially investigate this.

That was true. The sales season was coming soon, so GK had to promote its products. If there was really a problem, there would be a problem with the entire quarter’s revenue.

Therefore, everyone would rather close their eyes and avoid the problem than personally solve it.

After all, there had been no problems with consumer feedback for so many years, right?

Jiang Mingfan felt helpless. This was the first time he felt no sense of belonging in this company.

He turned on the laptop again and typed three words in the document—[Letter of resignation.]

…

In the itinerary for this month provided by Qiao Weiyang’s studio’s official Weibo account, there was a commercial shoot slotted in.

Previously, she had replied to her fans on Weibo that the commercial she was going to shoot was for GK’s lipsticks.

At night, fans began to ask how the commercial shoot had been today and when they would be able to watch the commercial.

The person who replied was Tao Huan. After getting Qiao Weiyang’s opinion, she replied sincerely to the fans: [The commercial shoot was canceled. Everyone, don’t be anxious. Weiyang will have other work arrangements in the future. We’ll reply to everyone when the time comes.]

Although the fans were disappointed, they knew that they couldn’t rush it. After comforting Qiao Weiyang in the comments, they changed the topic.

However, even if Qiao Weiyang and her fans didn’t care, someone would still care.

Tian Jingyao quickly released the photos she had taken for GK today and told her fans: [The video hasn’t been edited yet. I’ll just release these photos for everyone to see first.]

The marketing accounts quickly compared Qiao Weiyang to Tian Jingyao. They secretly mocked Qiao Weiyang for not being as popular as Tian Jingyao and becoming the first artist to be rejected by the brand.
