Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 583

As for the remaining companies that did not pass the appraisal, the appraisal team made a special announcement that listed the scores the companies got for each category. The announcement also outlined the reasons why they did not achieve the national brand standard.

Among them, the scores of the other companies were relatively normal, and the reasons they failed were due to marginal inadequacies in some aspects. They just had to make some improvements and they would very likely pass the appraisal and secure the national brand status next time.

However, only one company, Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc, got very low scores for all assessment categories. There was a long list of reasons why the company was not selected.

Not only that, the appraisal team put Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc into the cosmetics industry blacklist and made an announcement that the company's products were not up to standards.

The result naturally caused an uproar within the entire cosmetics market in Long City.

Everyone participated in this appraisal with the initial intention to get recognition as a national brand. Even if they didn't succeed in the end, the impact would not be too significant.

However, Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc not only failed to get the national brand, it was being blacklisted straight away. As a result, the effect was completely different from what everyone had expected at the beginning.

The entire Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc's morale was once again dampened by the results.

Quin summoned the top management of the company to have a meeting immediately to discuss a counter measure.

Some suggested announcing the dispute between Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc and Damien Wang, who was the culprit for the deliberate slander. Some suggested that they go to the Ministry of Manpower to lodge a report and file for further investigation.

These were all good suggestions, but none of them were the most effective. After all, the exhibition would begin in a few days' time.

Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc had established a good reputation in the hearts of the consumers in Long City. Although this blacklist had a great impact on the company, it had little effects on its sales and reputation in Long City.

However, when the exhibition commenced, the cosmetics industry players and customers from all around the world would converge. If they heard of the blacklist, it would greatly affect the sales and reputation of Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc's products. The people in Long City were familiar with Fei Enterprises and their good reputation all the while. However, foreign customers were not, and would believe in the blacklist, thinking that Fei Enterprises was not a good company to work with.

Therefore, they had to clarify this matter as much as possible before the exhibition so as to restore the reputation of Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc.

Hence, during this period, Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc issued a lot of notices and test reports from domestic and international authorities, as well as their regular customers' testimonials. They also conducted various onsite product demonstrations and samplings.

Although they managed to reverse the negative effects in Long City, they couldn't stop the negative news of the blacklist from spreading outside of Long City.

As the situation got worse, Quin and Lily were also exhausted from trying to resolve the crisis in the company. The day of the exhibition was drawing near. The next day was the day of the exhibition's opening ceremony.

Under such a desperate situation, Quin and Lily still couldn't come up with any good ideas.

Fade was anxious too. Right at that moment, he suddenly received a phone call. When he saw the caller ID, it was Lydia Zu.

Fade picked up the phone immediately. Lydia didn't waste any time and went straight to the point, saying, "Fade, I know the recent situation of your company is not very good. So, I have good news for you!" "What's the good news?" Fade was stunned and asked immediately.

Lydia said, "Remember the evidence I have acquired? I've finished sorting them. I am going to announce the news at tomorrow's exhibition."

"I will announce the names of the members who have taken bribes, as well as the fake companies. I think this will be of some help to Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc."

After hearing this, Fade couldn't help but feel happy and said, "Yes, that will be really helpful. Thank you so much."

"Don't thank me! I managed to collect all this evidence because of your help," Lydia said.

"No matter what, I have to thank you," Fade said earnestly.

Lydia paused for a moment, then she seemed to recall something and said, "If you really want to thank me, I have a favor to ask."

"What favor? Tell me!" Fade replied.

Lydia asked, "You're a doctor right? Can you treat skin allergies caused by seafood?"

Hearing this, Fade smiled and said, "Of course I can. It's a small matter! What's wrong? Are you allergic to seafood?"

Lydia asked, "How then?"

"In fact, it's very simple. You would have seen the latest advertisements of our company, one of them is on a scar- removal product. Use that for application together with some anti-inflammatory medicines. The allergy reaction will soon be healed," Fade said.

Hearing this, Lydia was a little surprised and exclaimed, "Ah, your company's cosmetics can cure diseases too?"

Fade said, "Indeed. In the beginning, I formulated the cosmetics products according to the drug prescription. They definitely have some medicinal healing benefits."

"I see. That's amazing. I'll try it right away,"

Lydia said.

"Sure, go ahead!" Fade said goodbye to Lydia, then hung up the phone.

Immediately after that, Fade went to the president's office and told Quin and Lily about the good news.

Hearing the news, the two ladies' expressions eased a little. Then, Quin said to Fade, "Tomorrow, we will go to the exhibition to set up a demo booth, can you help us?"

"No problem!" Fade nodded. Then, he was puzzled and asked, "But our company did not get the allotment to participate in the exhibition. How do we set up a demo booth?"

Quin explained, "We're not going to set up the demo booth in the exhibition hall. Instead, we're going to set one up outside the exhibition hall."

Lily added, "This is a very common practice. Many disqualified companies will set up booths outside the exhibition hall to promote their own products, leveraging on the exhibition's reputation and crowd. Anyway, it is not against the rules, and the organizer usually doesn't care."

"I see!" Fade nodded and then thought of another problem. He frowned and said, "But our products have been blacklisted. Can we set up a demo booth?"

Quin snorted and said, "That blacklist was created by the appraisal team. It's not released by the relevant commerce and business departments. It can only represent their opinions and has no legal effect at all Therefore, it can't affect us."

"That's good!" Fade nodded and then said to the two ladies, "In that case, we should go back early today and have a good rest. Tomorrow will be the real battle."

"Okay!" The two women nodded, then packed up and went home.

After a night's rest, Long City was bustling the next day.

As the launch day for the international cosmetics fair had come, there were many foreigners visiting the city. This also attracted curiosity and discussion among the local community. Many major cosmetic companies would be participating in the event, hence, many female citizens swarmed to the venue.

There were tens of thousands of people gathering outside the venue before the opening ceremony of the exhibition. It was a lively scene.
