2180 Twins
Fortunately, Qiao Weiyang discovered it in time. After applying the medicine, Xiao Bao felt a chill. After a moment, the swelling subsided by more than half.
Qiao Weiyang sent Xiao Bao back to his room and instructed the butler to take care of Xiao Bao before returning to her room.
She picked up the toy and lipstick and tested them with a special instrument.
There was indeed nothing wrong with the toy.
The amount of heavy metal in the lipstick was higher than the standard. It might not be a problem for adults to use it, but a child’s skin was very tender. Xiao Bao had a lot of it on his hands, causing him to have an allergic reaction.
The lipsticks were sent over by the brand, and there was another box that hadn’t been opened yet.
Qiao Weiyang immediately took it and tested it. The content of heavy metal in the lipsticks in this box was also above the standard.
Generally speaking, adults had a stronger resistance, and considering one wouldn’t use a lot of lipstick, problems like this were rare.
However, an allergic reaction was inevitable for some people with weak physiques or those who used too much of the product.
Besides, even healthy adults should not be fooled by such brands.
Qiao Weiyang picked up her phone and called her assistant, Tao Huan.
“Huan Huan, go buy me a few lipsticks from GK. Go to different malls to buy them. After you buy them, please send them to the studio.”
“Okay, Sister Weiyang. Are you doing product research? GK is waiting for you to shoot their commercials and become their endorser. Buying more of their products is indeed the right choice.”
“Mhm, buy them for me so that I can take a look at their products first.”
It was precisely because Qiao Weiyang had received an endorsement invitation from this brand that she received the lipsticks.
She was used to using the lipsticks of a certain brand, so she hadn’t used the ones she received.
She didn’t expect to discover a problem so quickly.
She immediately rushed to the studio.
Not long after she rushed over, Tao Huan delivered the GK lipsticks.
“Sister Weiyang, I bought a total of ten. They’re all different shades. Take a look.”
“Leave them here.” Qiao Weiyang nodded and put on a mask and gloves.
Seeing her like this, Tao Huan asked curiously, “What are you going to do?”
“I want to look at the composition.”
Tao Huan had never seen such a thing. She sat at the side and watched her do it.
A moment later, Qiao Weiyang said, “I can confirm that the issue of excessive heavy metal is not just with the two boxes of lipsticks that I received. The ones you brought over have the same issue as well.”
“Huh? Then isn’t this a scam? What will happen if someone uses the product?”
“If it’s a light reaction, they’ll have an allergic reaction. If it’s a strong reaction, the consequences are hard to say,” Qiao Weiyang said.
Tao Huan hurriedly took out a GK lipstick from her bag and put it aside. “Then I don’t want to use it! I’ve been wondering why the lines on my lips have become more and more pronounced recently. It turns out it’s because of the lipstick. I had no problem when I used lipsticks from other brands previously.
“Yes, don’t use it for the time being,” Qiao Weiyang said calmly. She then picked up the phone and called Lu Mingjue.
Hearing the news, Lu Mingjue was shocked. “You’ve already confirmed it?”
“I’ve confirmed it. Xiao Bao had an allergic reaction to the lipsticks today because of this. Let’s not take on this endorsement.”
Lu Mingjue immediately said, “Okay. But I’ve already agreed with them that you’ll go over tomorrow morning to shoot the commercial. Since such a thing has happened, let’s go over together tomorrow and talk it out. We’ll also terminate the contract.”
“No problem,” Qiao Weiyang replied.
Seeing that Qiao Weiyang was about to withdraw from the endorsement deal, Tao Huan felt that it was quite a pity. However, she also agreed with her decision. One should earn money through ethical and legal means, not by doing something that went against one’s own conscience.
When Qiao Weiyang returned home, she checked Xiao Bao’s fingers again.
The butler had applied the ointment on him once more. Now, Xiao Bao’s fingers had basically recovered, and there was only a very faint red mark. It would probably disappear by tomorrow.
Although Xiao Bao was very lucky, Qiao Weiyang knew that if others got an allergic reaction from the product, they might not be so lucky.
When many people first had an allergic reaction, they would not be able to confirm what caused it. They might not be as lucky as Xiao Bao, who immediately washed away all the allergens and then used the most suitable medicine.
…
The next day.
Lu Mingjue came over early in the morning to pick up Qiao Weiyang.
“Sister-in-law, fortunately, you discovered the problem early. Otherwise, you’d have to take the blame later.” Although Lu Mingjue had fought for a long time to get the endorsement deal with GK for Qiao Weiyang, he didn’t think it was a pity.
Qiao Weiyang had just made a comeback. It was indeed not easy for her to get an endorsement.
However, with her strength, the resources she could obtain in the future would not be inferior to what she had now.
“Yes, let’s make it clear to them today,” Qiao Weiyang said calmly. “By the way, I’ll give them the test report.”
“This… Won’t it be inappropriate considering our standing?”
“It’s fine if I hadn’t discovered a problem, but since I have, I won’t be able to live with my conscience if I don’t tell them about it. This will affect many consumers.”
Lu Mingjue could see the calmness and determination in her eyes.
At this moment, even he was influenced by her and stopped being sloppy. “Okay, we’ll do as you say.”
The two of them arrived at the event location together.
GK was the flagship lipstick brand of a famous foreign brand. Its reputation in the past few years had been very good.
Currently, its sales in the country had been very stable.
The company rented a large shed for today’s commercial shoot, and everything was ready.
Even the advertising planner and brand director, Jiang Mingfan, appeared to supervise today’s filming.
Seeing Lu Mingjue and Qiao Weiyang appear, Jiang Mingfan smiled and came forward. “Mr. Lu, Miss Qiao, welcome. Please come in.”
“Hello, Director Jiang.” Lu Mingjue shook his hand and introduced Qiao Weiyang.
Jiang Mingfan sized up Qiao Weiyang carefully and saw that she was even more beautiful than in the photos. Her lips were red without any makeup. Although her expression was cold, the occasional smile on her face was quite touching. As someone in the fashion industry, his sharp senses told him that Qiao Weiyang was a good fit for the brand. If he got her to endorse the brand, the image of the brand would be more deeply rooted in people’s hearts.
“Miss Qiao, it’s been hard on you. You can rest for a while before you get your makeup done and we start filming.”
It was not convenient for Lu Mingjue to tell him about the problem with the lipsticks here, so they went to the guest lounge together.
After the three of them sat down, Lu Mingjue went straight to the point and said, “Director Jiang, we’re actually here today to tell you something very important.”
“Oh? What is it? Please elaborate!” Jiang Mingfan asked humbly.
Lu Mingjue had just taken out a document and was about to talk about the matter when Jiang Mingfan’s assistant walked over from outside. He said in a hurry, “Director Jiang, Assistant Director Qian is here. He said that he has something to tell you. It’s very urgent, and he wants you to go see him now.”
