Chapter 105 Who is responsible and who is to blame
Ladarius is quite quick to react and knows how to turn the tables.
After a general glance at V.L’s announcement, this wave of action has pulled a lot of goodwill for their company.
Although some people questioned whether they were clamouring for attention, whether the formula was real or an altered version and whether V.L was doing this as a sign of a bigger move, opinions differed, but it had in effect brought them a wave of popularity.
“What do you think V.L is up to, what do they want? The industry is disclosing their own formula like this with no intention of screwing themselves, are they planning to give up on their previous products?”
With one hand on her cheek, Stella was lost in thought.
Her words reminded Silvia that V.L was indeed trying to save its image, but it was also planning to abandon its previous products. Of course, she had forced her to make this decision, but would they be able to come up with a replacement any time soon?
The two of them looked at each other, neither of them saying anything, each with their own ideas.
There was a knock on the office door and Stella’s secretary pushed her way in, “Stella, there’s a Winnie outside who says she has an appointment with you.”
“Winnie?” wrinkling her brow, Stella didn’t remember for a moment,
“It’s Winnie, I sent hier over.” Silvia turned her head, “Send her in.”
“Didn’t you tell her to go back to rest? You know the induction is still …,” Stella said in disbelief.
“The induction can’t be done yet, but soon V.L will revoke that non-compete agreement, it’s recently come to the attack stage, I think it’s better to let Winnie come over to help first, I also hope, this new product in hand can come out soon.”
Silvia had planned to let Winnie go home and rest, but last night she thought that the recipe needed to be adjusted and stic was a bit too busy to do it alone.
This was her first project since leaving V.L. and she didn’t want anything to go wrong and she didn’t know the people in the company very well, so she didn’t feel as comfortable with her new partners as she did with her old friends.
After thinking about it, she called Winnie and asked her to come over.
“Stella, Silvia,” Winnie greeted as she entered, not really sure what to expect yet, as Silvia had only told her on the phone yesterday that she would continue to report to the office today, but not in detail.
“You might as well continue to help out in the lab, you don’t have to worry about V.L., Ladarius will withdraw that agreement, Silvia said with certainty
“Really? Winnie’s cyes were lull of surprise
Stella was also sceptical, “Will it? But we only received the official letter yesterday and in one night, you’ve solved the problein?
with thai, ber eyes fell to the computer screen and a light went off in her head, “Does that mean that post about the terip last night was…”
* Silviayou shouldn’t have done that for me, if they sued you for leaking trade secrets you…”
The V. L perfume formula being made public lasi might was such powerful news in the circle, how could Winnie Riot
know about it and she guessed that there was only one person who could do this and had the ability to do it.
But this, really, is a big deal!
II V.doesn’t take it personally, that’s fine, it he does take it personally he’ll really sue her for leaking trade secrets … but according to Ladarius’ calculating personality, how could he not take it personally,
Don’t worry about it, I dare to do this, I have already thought of a countermeasure!” Silvia reassured her by gently patting her hand,
“Anyway, V.L’s side won’t blackmail you with this again, so just feel free to come over.”
The look of certainty in her eyes didn’t look like she was just reassuring, she looked absolutely sure of herselt.
Winnie thought for a moment, “Silvia, you didn’t make some kind of deal with that bitch Ladarius for me, did you? Did you promise him something?”
Tu her mind, for it to have gone so well, it must have been because some kind of deal or compromise had been struck, otherwise, where would Ladarius have been so good at talking
Her fears were the same ones Stella was worried about,
“Yes, you didn’t make some secret decision on your own, did you? Silvia, don’t be a fool! You have a big future ahead of you, don’t be foolish in your intentions.”
Silvia couldn’t help but smile at how concerned they were about her, “Look at you guys, you think I’m going to do something big. It’s not as serious as you think, it’s a deal, but I’m not the one who’s compromising, don’t worry about that!”
“Really?
Both of them were suspicious, fearing that she was deliberately lying to comfort them.
“Of course it’s true, it’s only for a couple of days anyway, V.L’s side will definitely withdraw that agreement.”
Then, it was time to pat her on the shoulder, “So that means you won’t be able to rest again in this recent period, you’ll have to do a good job for me!”
“I’d love to!” Winnie nodded in response as the stone fell from her heart,
The atmosphere at V.L’s shareholders’ meeting was so heavy that it was almost as if thick clouds were pouring down
on us.
Ladarius squeezed the knot of his tie with one hand and tried to tug it, but when he looked up, he didn’t feel right, so he just moved around a little.
“Mr. Ladarius, aren’t you going to explain to the board about the leak of the perfume formula?” One of the major shardsoldes spoluptinse, lis voice cold and questioning in tone
Ladarius had already thought of a response to this, so he didn’t panic,
“I’m sure you’ve all seen the official statement from the company and the public opinion on the internet is still tilted towards VI.
The response is overwhelming and the good reputation is obvious to everyone, on the whole thing, the pros outweigh the cons and I don’t think I need to explain anything more for that.”
Spreading his hands, he was frank, not showing any semblance of heartfelt cimidity.
“The leaking of the recipe will cause direct financial losses.
How many of your peers can now imitate our company’s same product and have you thought about the ensuing market effects?
How dare you say that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages? I ask you, for all these losses, who will be responsible and who will bear them!”
Shareholders were looking at profit and once it was clear that they were going to lose money, they couldn’t just ignore
Faced with the reproach, Ladarius did not panic, leaned forward, crossed his hands on the table and smiled lightly, “Don’t be anxious first, Mr. Smith, about this economic loss, listen to me slowly I explain to you all.”

“In fact, the few perfume formulas that leaked out yesterday are all old products that we at V.L have been very mature and have been on the market for a long time. It is true that they sell well, consumers also like them and the market response is good, but … We should not forget that they are old products after all and have lost their freshness!”
