The Enigmatic Return novel Chapter 434

In the face of the crisis, Neera swiftly executed two strategic moves.

First, she publicly disclosed the company's production methodology. This included the environment in the overseas research center and the mass production process.

A video was prepared, offering indisputable evidence that the vast majority of Startales' products were produced in a completely sanitized setting.

She entrusted the PR team with the responsibility of sharing this video on Twitter.

Secondly, she proactively requested the relevant government departments and urged them to rigorously examine Startales's product.

Given that a large portion of their products were based on natural botanical ingredients, she had nothing to hide and was confident of their safety.

Furthermore, regarding the product ingredients, she was transparent in her willingness to provide samples for any necessary quality verification.

Her method was direct and effective.

The government officers were invited overnight to initiate an immediate investigation. Their swift action demonstrated their confidence in the public.

After all, only those with a clear conscience did not fear inspection.

These steps were executed overnight.

By dawn, the criticisms from online users had dwindled in the face of Startales open and transparent approach. The uproar had quieted down.

Public opinion was somewhat suppressed. Neera saw that trending searches had quieted down significantly.

Only then did Neera get a moment to catch her breath, reclining in her, getting some sleep in exhaustion.

…

Jean had stayed awake all night at home.

There have been some developments regarding the situation.

"Sir, I just received a call from Larry. He said he found a lead. The majority of those internet users are internet ghostwriters. It's confirmed that someone is trying to smear Startales's reputation," Ian reported.

Jean took a sip of his coffee and asked in a deep voice, "Have we identified the mastermind behind this?"

Ian replied, "We know the internet ghostwriters belong to a particular company. But word has it that someone else has bought this company. Larry mentioned he would dig deeper to uncover who's responsible."

Jean creased his brows slightly, saying, "What about the internet user that first posted something online?"

Ian answered truthfully, "We've checked out that user's account. She's not one of the internet ghostwriters; she seems to be a regular netizen. At this point, we're not sure whether her allergic reaction is caused by Ms. Garcia's company's product or something else."

The look in Jean's eyes darkened. He said coldly, "Find out her contact. We have to locate her."

"Understood."

Ian took the order and made a call on the balcony.

When he returned, Jean had finished his coffee.

Ian hesitated and advised, "You've been up all night. Are you going to have more coffee to stay awake? The public's opinion has quieted down a little. You should get some rest. Didn't Ms. Garcia remind you to get some sleep before she left? If she finds out you've been up all night, she won't be pleased."

He purposely brought up Neera, hoping Jean would agree to take a short nap, even for half an hour.

The memory of Neera advising him to go to bed earlier crossed Jean's mind.

If she finds out, she won't be happy for sure. She used to scold me because of this, but how could I sleep when she's in trouble?

Jean massaged his temples. He shook his head and replied in a raspy voice, "I'm alright. I'm not tired."

With that being said, he looked at Ian and instructed him, "You have to keep this away from her."

Ian adopted a bitter expression and said, "Even if I don't mention it, she will notice when she returns. You should get a nap. I'll immediately notify you when I receive the news."

Jean overlooked his suggestion, simply asking, "Has she come home?"

Ian sighed when Jean stubbornly did not heed his advice. He answered, "Not yet. Given the situation, she probably needs to handle things personally and might not return soon."
