The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits-Chapter 1281 - 1285: Queen of the Entertainment Industry (Part 5)

Chapter 1281: Chapter 1285: Queen of the Entertainment Industry (Part 5)

If it turns out to be useless, I’ll definitely ruin her.

Jiangjiang thought viciously.

Jiangjiang’s older brother, who was holding his phone next to her, secretly glanced at his sister’s ferocious face, patted his chest with lingering fear, and silently sighed: A woman’s desire for revenge is truly frightening.

After a previous online spat, those who were mocked by Su Li were all after her like mad dogs.

Now it’s simply bashing for the sake of bashing.

"Only fools would buy this product. Look at this shabby packaging, cheap bottle, peeling print; if I buy this, I’d be a pig." A female fan left this comment on a forum and then immediately turned to her shopping app to buy the product.

She just wanted to slap Su Xiaohua in the face. This product must be useless.

"Boss, our funds are no longer sufficient to support continued production. Should we shut down some production lines? Please make a decision soon."

In a not-too-big, somewhat shabby office, a young man leaned against his arms at the desk with a desolate demeanor.

He spoke to the visitor with his back turned, "I know, give me a moment. I’ll give you my decision soon."

After a few years of experience, Li An was no longer the confident person he was when he first took over the company.

He remembered when he first joined the company, determined to accomplish something big, but... reality quickly hit him hard.

Li Family started as Imperial Physicians in the palace a century ago. In his great-great-grandfather’s hands, the brand Yuji was founded with a secret formula, originally an adaptation of the Yu Rong Cream once offered to a Noble Consort in the palace.

The product was good, and the Li Family thrived gloriously because of it.

But as beauties wither, the brand, once coveted by wealthy ladies, also fell into the same predicament.

Nowadays, various skincare brands are flooding the domestic market, items like Immortal Water and Xiao Hei bottles squeezing out the remaining market share of Yuji.

Those products with exquisite, luxurious packaging look high-end, and their high prices make them bewilderingly impressive. Using such high-end items seems to elevate one’s own temperament.

Li An looked at the Jade Skin Cream on his desk and sighed deeply.

Indeed, items with shabby packaging look inferior.

He had considered reform, but the design fees and packaging costs aren’t free... these costs would ultimately be reflected in the product’s price.

The customer base originally buying for the low price and nostalgia for domestic goods quickly vanished when they saw prices increase, leaving not even a shred of market share.

Most importantly, the Li Family had no money.

No one was buying, funds weren’t returning, and there were various cost expenditures... leading to a vicious cycle, ultimately dragging the entire enterprise down.

Now, cutting the production lines was like cutting flesh off Li An.

The efforts of several generations of the Li Family seemed about to end here. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Just as Li An was mentally preparing himself to call the manager inside to announce his decision, the manager, without waiting for his call, joyfully burst in with a stack of orders, abandoning all decorum.

"Boss, we’ve received orders...."

Li An: "What?" He spun around in shock.

"Orders that can completely clear our stock, and a lot more. Even with 24-hour production, it’ll take half a month to fulfill them."

Li An trembled with excitement, so much that his face twitched, "Wha-What’s going on?"

It was as if, just before starving to death, a luxurious feast had dropped on his head, leaving him dazed.

The manager temporarily didn’t know either, only that all their online and offline channels suddenly sold out.

However, Li An’s confusion didn’t last long before someone came along to explain.

Su Li was not one to do good deeds without taking credit.

Why did she livestream and sell products? For money, of course.....

She’s been observing the online commotion.

The haters were all talk, spewing venomous words saying they wouldn’t buy, but their actions were more honest than anyone else’s.

Luo Jian, the top star, indeed had an incredible fan base.

Having achieved the desired effect, Su Li made a call, "Get ready to pay."

It wasn’t until he received Su Li’s call for payment that Li An understood the cause and effect.

Because of the scandal-ridden Su Xiaohua, the Yuji brand was irrationally demonized.

But none of this mattered against the actual increase in orders.

The business, once on the brink of collapse, now revived like dead wood in spring.

Li An was also not stingy in giving Su Li her deserved reward.

Delighted upon receiving the payment, Su Li, in a pleasant mood, wrote a sentimental message on Weibo.

The general sentiment was that Luo Jian is a good celebrity, and his fans are good fans too.

After all, a short half-hour livestream brought her considerable profit. Thank you, thank you～

On one side, Su Li was having fun, while on the other side, upon hearing the assistant’s report, Luo Jian angrily flipped the table.

"Are they all idiots?" How is this different from handing rations to the enemy?

"Did a dog’s dinner swallow their intelligence? Contact those major fans, and quickly stop their stupid actions."

Listening to Luo Jian’s reckless words, he too felt a heart attack coming.

It’s true that their fan base was powerful, but could they not use their fighting power to support the enemy?

If it weren’t for the fact that these fans had supported Luo Jian for a long time, he would have thought they were spies from other fandoms.

Is this hitting someone else’s face or their own star’s face?

However, despite Luo Jian’s rage, he had to be calmed, "Take it easy, feel free to vent those words to me, but never to those fans."

Luo Jian’s image was one of mature stability and consideration, which many female fans loved.

Luo Jian’s rise to his current position was inextricably linked to the support of these fans.

An unexpected turn like this was rare in the entire entertainment industry.

No, it’s not even rare, it’s unprecedented.

Yuji, this domestic brand, was suddenly infamously headlined.

People were either mocking its shabby simplicity or complaining about its diminutive fame, with some even commenting about its price.

Cheap items aren’t good, and good items aren’t cheap, much like a certain Xiao Hua, trying to attach herself to someone else, only to completely fall apart herself.

However, though its reputation wasn’t good, its sales kept increasing consistently.

This made some people’s eyes go red with envy.

Whether you’re a star or not doesn’t matter; what matters is your ability to sell products.
