Nathaniel moved fast and got his PR team to release a statement the following day while he apologized to the board of directors. He admitted he had failed to supervise his team.
He explained to the board of directors how they would suffer more significant losses if they did not take down Melanie’s two perfumes. Nathaniel also promised to launch a new product soon to compensate for the current losses.
The board of directors was unhappy with the development of the matter. However, they had no other way to deal with this case. On top of that, Nathaniel sincerely apologized, and none of them wanted to lose all their investments like this.
Hence, the board of directors agreed to Nathaniel’s suggestion since they could not devise a better plan, giving him another chance to make amends.
Nathaniel knew he had succeeded partially after getting the board of directors to understand and approve his plan. The PR team’s quick response, where they apologized to the citizens before discovering Melanie’s affair, managed to give the public a better impression of MN Inc.
It increased the two perfumes’ popularity by attracting those who had never heard of the products. Some netizens even tried selling their two perfumes at sky-high prices because most considered them limited editions since MN Inc. no longer sold them.
Nathaniel noticed the rising popularity of the company’s old products and wished he could bring the old stocks and profit from them. Eloise had predicted this before and warned her son that he should never put the old products back on the shelves as it would make MN Inc. lose credibility. By then, it would genuinely be game over.
Due to Eloise’s warning, Nathaniel resisted the temptation and suppressed his urge to return the old products to stores again. At that time, he realized that Eloise’s predictions, including the netizens’ reactions, were accurate.
Nathaniel knew that taking advantage of others’ pity toward him could benefit him, and things would not turn out as he imagined. Many also pitied him for getting tricked.
Some netizens even brought Lily up and commented that Nathaniel had gone through an arduous journey in his love life. To them, a woman had pestered Nathaniel, who then made his life miserable because she did not love him back. Others also pitied him so much that they bought MN Inc.’s perfumes to show their support for Nathaniel.
