Chapter 71 - Keeping it low profile Part5

Name:The CEO's loser wife Author:Yolohy
Su Lin calmly smiled and started writing her first post. Nothing complicated. Just a simple few sentences. 

Not sounding defensive or victimized, she calmly tried to collect her thoughts and express it rationally.

[Hello. I am Su Lin, the former Mrs. Meng. I understand that my recent actions have offended the public.]

[I apologize for not stepping out earlier and clearing the misunderstandings.]

[Please find details about our latest herbal products and the model we used for endorsing them. Thank you all for the support.]

It was a very small and clear statement.

And this was exactly what she wanted. Now all she had to do was wait and watch everything unfold.

In just a few minutes, her accounts exploded. This was huge. This was completely unexpected.

The Mrs. Meng who had never ever spoken anything publicly, just posted something for the first time.

And obviously, the netizens and the reporters immediately noticed something weird about it.

What was she saying? 

What company? Since when did the loser Mrs. Meng start a herbal company? Literally no one had any information about it.

Didn't Shi Meng divorce you because you were sleeping around?

Why are you suddenly acting like a upstanding woman of the society with a strong reputation??!!

Why aren't you talking about or trying to defend yourself against all the cheating and the sleazy allegations?

They in fact combed through all her social media sites and company websites and were surprised to not find even a single mention of it or explanation of any sort.

It was as if she was not even acknowledging that event. 

If she had refused it or even talked about it, they can blow it up and call her a liar.

But she just went ahead and introduced her company? So what were they supposed to do now?

The netizens and the reporters did not know how to respond.

And more importantly, since this was all sudden and out of nowhere, certain people didn't get a chance to poison the well in advance.

...…..

Luther walked back to the store leisurely after picking up some breakfast. 

Both the demons worked pretty late last night and were still asleep when he had left that morning.

Reaching the storefront, he almost stumbled on the pavement and fell down. 

There it was, his magnified face, staring right back at him.

F*ck F*ck F*ck. 

He must have been crazy to agree to this!!!??? Right?!! Right?? 

Why would a top secret underground ȧssassin have his face plastered across store fronts??!!!

Shit!! If this fuċkɨnġ company ever grows, isn't he going to be on these huge insane billboards??!!! Won't he become a fuċkɨnġ joke?!!

Lamenting his cruel fate, Luther looked up and gazed at Su Lin, through the transparent walls of the store.

She seemed to be staring intensely at the computer, with intermittent giggles and chuckles, which somehow felt a bit sinister.

"Yo. Morning. Here is some breakfast for the most beautiful woman on this planet."

Su Lin looked up at him and scoffed, "Hmph. Flirt." She mumbled.

Chuckling, Luther approached and peeped to see what she was upto. "Woah. Did you just get like 1000 orders for your shitty products ?"

Without looking at him, Su Lin continued typing and smirked, "You are calling my stuff shitty?"

"If I recollect correctly, someone seemed to have completely enjoyed my concoction just the previous night."

"I even vividly remember hearing a mȯȧn. He he"

Cough… Cough… Luther looked away in embarrassment.

"By the way, that was a one time thing. I am not getting into a gooey mess like that again." Luther mumbled and slipped out to make a call.

He needed to take care of some damage control. Things had taken a completely unexpected turn and he didn't want to make his brothers vulnerable.

Still smiling like a maniac, Su Lin happily enjoyed her morning breakfast. This was her first offensive step and she felt pretty good about it.

Of course, this wasn't going to last.

In fact, she was very clear that half or rather more than half the people, who ordered her products, definitely had bad intentions.

They probably did it to give her bad reviews and feedback. 

After all, she was already infamous and it was considerably easy to trash her some more.

Some people had even started to complain about the exorbitant prices and how Mrs. Meng had a money grubbing, gold digging attitude.

"Greedy ex-wife of a famous CEO swindles money."

"CEO's loser wife sells cheap herbal knock offs."

"Socialite Mrs. Meng fails miserably dabbling in organic medicine."

They even speculated this as the reason why Shi Meng divorced her.

These reviews and comments mattered and will definitely affect prospective customers. 

But, even so, this was exactly what Su Lin wanted.

Because, no matter what lies they spread on the internet, one thing is for certain. 

Her products had an undeniable quality and these people..... They will definitely come back for more.

But right now, the real issue here was this insane number of orders.

Su Lin had expected a jump of 100 or 200 orders, but she had vastly underestimated her negative popularity and the number of people willing to spend money without any valid reason.

How on earth was she going to meet the 1000 pre-orders!!??

Ughhh… 

She definitely felt that pinch for a batch processing unit. 

After all, she didn't want to spend her entire life making and packaging products.

These are the times when she missed her previous life. The measly power she had now was nothing in comparison to how powerful she was.

And also, these 1000 orders have to be met as soon as possible, if not immediately.

Except for the fact that she was the ex Mrs. Meng, she didn't have anything else going for her and this spotlight was definitely not going to last.

If tomorrow that ȧsshole dates someone else, the press will be off hounding that person. 

And she will literally go back to being a nobody.

Making up her mind, she decided to first fulfil the 50 orders she could. 

They already had 15 products pre-made. And they had enough herbs to settle 50 orders.

Making themselves busy, both Su Lin and Runyan sat down and got to work, concocting three big batches of moisturizers, hair oil and lip gloss.

Wang You who dropped by to deliver the shipment of herbs as usual was also roped in to slave away for her.

Even with the added unhappy helpers, Wang Yu and Luther, they still ended up working till late into the night to fulfil the 50 orders.

Wang Yu and Runyan had already fallen asleep and Su Lin decided to get dinner for the group. 

Walking out, she headed towards the nearest eatery.

Noticing Luther following her, she turned around and asked, "I appreciate all the help, but I am just going to the next block. You don't have to accompany me."

Chuckling lightly, Luther jokingly replied, "He he. You know cutie, you saved my life."

"All this labor work and plastering my face across the town, is just not enough to repay you honey."

"So voila, I have also decided to moonlight as your bodyguard." He sarcastically mocked her.

Standing under the luminous moon light, Su Lin looked at the devilishly handsome man questioningly. 

She couldn't pinpoint what exactly, but something about him ticked her off.

There was a feeling of blatant disingenuity. 

It was as if his entire existence was a lie and everything he did was fake. 

And, he couldn't be bothered less to cover any part of it.

He was different from Runyan and Wang Yu. 

People like him were dangerous. She should stay away from him. Su Lin nodded and silently walked ahead.

Chuckling uncomfortably under her stare, Luther ruffled his hair. He didn't like it when she looked at him with undivided attention. He felt very uneasy.

It was as if she saw through everything, every wound, every scar, right through his very bones. 

He felt very nȧkėd and exposed. She was not like the other women he had met.

She was always hiding behind something. But she made you feel defenseless. She was dangerous. 

He definitely shouldn't get close to her. He should stay as far away from her as possible…

… Thinking the same thing, the two walked side by side in silence enjoying the silent moon light…
