No matter how heated the news was on the internet, Rayna did not have time to read it.
Wilson had already edited the video and sent it to her, which meant Glory’s new products would be entering a
promotional period.
The bet between Glory and the other company was not the only thing that depended on the new products’ sales—
there was the matter with Jefferson too.
Rayna had to pay close attention to everything related to the new products.
Meanwhile, Jefferson had to deal with the company in Jetroina and deal with Arnaud because of her brother’s
affairs. Unable to help with anything, she could only do her best not to let him worry about the company on her
side.
Rayna did not watch the video Wilson sent. For one, she did not have the courage to play it.
She was afraid to see the person in the video.
Second, she knew how capable Wilson was, so she sent the video to the marketing department directly to let them
deal with it.
Two days later, Rayna received the new products.
Be it the perfume bottles, colors, or even the packaging boxes, Rayna was the one who personally picked them.
She was satisfied with all of them.
As she was picking up the new products, she spotted a typographical error on the packaging. Her brows knitted into
a tight frown. “How could the planning department let this happen? Why is there a typo?”
Ella, who had not left, heard Rayna’s words, and she scooted over to take a look.
Upon spotting the obvious error, Ella gasped. “Oh my goodness. It should be ‘do,’ but the designer typed it as
‘done.’ But tens of thousands of packaging boxes have been produced, and the workers are rushing to complete
the work…” Ella paused briefly to look at Rayna. “Ms. Garland, what do we do now?”
Massaging her temples, Rayna commented, “How could they make such a rookie mistake? Thank goodness we
spotted it. Otherwise, the media’s going to ridicule us when the products are launched.”
Ella hurriedly pulled out her phone. “I’ll contact the factory right away.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“It’s useless. This batch of packaging is wasted.” Rayna glanced at the packaging and pondered for some time.
Finally, she instructed Ella calmly, “I need you to talk to the planning department. Tell them to use the other version
of the cover. Make sure they proofread it, then send the design to the factory and get them to work overtime to
produce one batch. If the factory owner thinks there’s too little time, discuss with him and give him a reasonable
increment.”
Ella wrote down all the instructions. “Got it. Is there anything else, Ms. Garland?”
Rayna added, “Put aside your other tasks for now. I need you to keep an eye on the factory. Once the first batch is
out, get the workers to pack them and deliver them to the stores.”
Ella nodded. “All right. I understand.”
Just as they were talking, a knock sounded on the door.
“Ms. Garland, are you in?”
Recognizing it was the voice of the deputy manager of the Public Relations Department, Rayna called out, “I am.
Come in.”
In the next second, the door was opened, and in came Suzie Evans, the deputy manager of the Public Relations
Department. She stood clutching a folder with a gloomy expression.
“I shall take my leave first, Ms. Garland.” Ella turned around and left.
As soon as Ella left, Rayna glanced at Suzie. “What happened? You look horrible.”
“Didn’t the headquarters call you?” Suzie asked while handing Rayna the folder. “A perfume company called Egret
Scents sued us for plagiarizing their company’s old product.”
“What? How is that possible? The headquarters bought the new product from a perfumer and even signed an
agreement for it. The perfumer would never try to sell it to two companies unless he had no plans to work in the
industry anymore.”
“That’s what I thought as well, but… Ms. Garland, you should take a look at this.”
Rayna flipped through the document.
It was a complaint from Egret Scents. Attached at the back was evidence provided by the company. They claimed
their product was launched last month but was plagiarized by Glory before they could have a significant amount of
sales.
The reason Egret Scents found out about it was that their company had a worker whose sister was working in the
product department of Glory. When the sister found out about the new product, she wanted to try it, too.
To her surprise, she realized Glory’s perfume smelled exactly the same as Egret Scents’ latest product.
In any case, Egret Scents was the one who launched the scent first. Upon knowing Glory’s product smelled the
same as theirs, Egret Scents naturally got furious and filed a lawsuit.
While Rayna was looking through the document, Suzie said, “At first, I thought Egret Scents was slandering our
company, but when I smelled their perfume, it’s indeed the same. They even made a public announcement, and
now everyone knows about it. I don’t know what the details are, either, so I let a small team handle it for now and
came to you right away.”
Rayna’s expression darkened after she finished reading the document. “Didn’t the product department sign a non-
disclosure agreement? The new product samples are for their perusal. How could they use it to attack our
company?”
Back then, Rayna had given Vivi a sample as well because the latter worked in a different industry.
On top of that, five milliliters of perfume were not much. In fact, it would be finished after a few uses. There was no
way Vivi could have given it to someone else.
“Indeed. They’re at fault for breaching the non-disclosure agreement, but the product is the more important
matter now. Here, I brought you Egret Scents’ perfume.”
Suzie sprayed the perfume on a fragrance tester strip and shook it before handing it to Rayna, whose face fell the
moment she caught a whiff of it.
Sure enough, Egret Scents’ perfume smelled exactly like the one they would be releasing soon.
Taking a deep breath, Rayna asked, “Have you called the headquarters?”
“I called them before I came looking for you. The headquarters have contacted the perfumer, but he says he never
gave the recipe to other companies. Besides, the incident happened right after he sold the recipe, so it’s our
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmproblem. Anyway, he’s willing to cooperate and provide all kinds of evidence for our investigation.”
Frowning, Rayna asked, “Egret Scents released theirs last month. If it’s not the perfumer who leaked the recipe,
then how did it get leaked? Could there be a mole in the company’s management?”
“It’s likely. Ms. Garland, you need to look into this carefully. According to the management, only three of the higher-
ups have seen the recipe. And since they’re close to the company, there’s no way it’ll get leaked. They said you
should handle it since it happened at the branch company. Apparently, they won’t bother about this. In fact, they’re
saying you and the branch company should handle it if anything happens,” Suzie said softly.
Rayna scoffed, “I don’t get any form of reward, yet I have to shoulder the blame? What do they mean by the
higher-ups will not leak the recipe because they have a close relationship with the company? That’s utter
nonsense!”
Suzie said helplessly, “Egret Scents launched theirs last month, while ours is still in the promotional period. No
matter how you look at it, we’re the ones who plagiarized Egret Scents’ product. There’s no way we can clear our
name.”
“Contact all the press offices and news websites. Tell them to use other news to distract the netizens for now. After
that, carry out an investigation. Screen every employee, including the three higher-ups from the headquarters,”
Rayna ordered coldly.
“Uh…” Suzie looked conflicted. “Ms. Garland, I don’t have the power to investigate them.”
Rayna closed the folder and handed it to her, looking calm yet exuding a hostile aura. “Then, tell the headquarters
if we can’t find the mole, we’ll be branded as the company that plagiarized Egret Scents’ product. The new product
won’t be launched, and we’ll be paying Egret Scents the compensation. Anyway, the headquarters is the one losing
more once we lose the bet-on agreement.”
Suzie nodded, secretly impressed by Rayna.
How amazing! She can still give me instructions calmly when such a major thing has happened. She’s not panicking
the slightest bit.
