This Bad Luck is Awesome!

His commission from one night of livestream selling was more than this amount.

He had also signed livestream selling agreements with many companies tonight, with more to come.

Those companies had already started producing and stocking up in advance, consuming considerable manpower, materials, and financial resources.

If a scandal broke and he couldn’t do the livestreams, the breach of contract penalties alone would be enough to ruin him.

And would a scandal break?

He knew that as soon as Chen Mo posted this online, he would instantly attract a legion of allies.

Then he would absolutely become the center of a massive controversy, and his career collapsing would be a certainty.

So, if he could resolve this for three million, it would be an absolute steal for him.

"Six million."

Hearing this amount, Feng Yu, who was standing to the side, couldn’t help but show a surprised expression on her pretty face.

She had guessed they would probably offer Chen Mo some money as compensation, and that the amount wouldn’t be low.

But she hadn’t expected them to open with six million.

She gave Chen Mo a peculiar look. She had witnessed his flawless technique for getting people to add more money.

’The final settlement is probably going to be very high.’

Hearing them open with an offer of three million each, for a total of six million in compensation, Chen Mo also gave them a somewhat surprised glance.

From the price they named, he could tell they were serious about resolving this as quickly as possible.

After all, in his past experiences with this kind of situation, people would usually test the waters with a lowball offer first.

If he didn’t agree, they would slowly raise it.

Unlike Boss Wu and Brother Da Niu, who started directly at three million each.

They didn’t play any games with lowball offers.

However, he could understand their thinking.

They wanted to put this matter to rest as quickly as possible, so it wouldn’t affect their upcoming production and shipping.

And so it wouldn’t affect Brother Da Niu’s upcoming livestreams.

That’s why they chose to just throw money at the problem.

But he hadn’t forgotten how that customer service representative had tried to treat him like an idiot.

’Since that was their company’s customer service, they’ll have to answer for it.’

"This was the compensation plan your customer service representative offered me earlier. Very professional and considerate."

Chen Mo didn’t respond to them directly. Instead, he showed them a screenshot of his conversation with the customer service rep.

"Mr. Chen, he’s already been fired. Please don’t take what he said seriously. Just consider it all nonsense."

Boss Wu knew about this, but seeing the chat log, he still couldn’t help but curse that fucking idiot of a customer service rep in his mind.

’Is this the kind of thing you get to make a decision on?’

"But he is an employee of your company. Doesn’t he represent your company’s attitude?"

Chen Mo’s expression didn’t change as he asked the question calmly.

"Mr. Chen, that customer service rep has nothing to do with me."

After reading the chat log, Brother Da Niu silently cursed the customer service rep while also quickly trying to distance himself from the matter.

"I was watching your livestream last night, and you promised it would be ’clean and sanitary.’"

"I’m thinking of taking it to a testing agency to see by how many times the toxic and harmful substances exceed the standard limit, and whether it’s as ’clean and sanitary’ as you claimed."

Chen Mo glanced at Brother Da Niu and said in a calm tone.

"..."

Brother Da Niu wanted to say it wasn’t his product, but in the end, he didn’t.

People bought it because of him, and he really had said those words.

Now that something had gone wrong, he had to take the blame.

After hearing this, Boss Wu’s expression also changed slightly.

’Take it to a professional agency for testing?’

’Who the hell knew what toxic and harmful substances they might find in there.’

’Once those sour bamboo shoots and dried bean curd sticks expire, the microbial content will seriously exceed the safety limits.’

’If someone ate that, they would absolutely get food poisoning.’

’Moreover, as these microorganisms reproduce, they produce toxins, like the carcinogen aflatoxin.’

’If that test report were to be made public, he would be completely finished.’

"Mr. Chen, although that customer service rep has been fired, I’d still like to apologize to you on his behalf."

"How about this? I’ll increase my compensation to you to four million yuan. What do you think?"

Boss Wu understood that if Chen Mo wasn’t satisfied, this matter wouldn’t be over.

So he had no choice but to add more money.

Besides, with Feng Yu standing right there, he wouldn’t dare try anything funny even if he had other ideas.

’Just because she wasn’t making a show of her influence, did they really think she didn’t have any?’

"Mr. Chen, I’m the one who betrayed your trust by letting you buy a faulty product from my livestream."

"Just like Boss Wu, I will also compensate you with four million yuan. What do you think?"

Brother Da Niu followed Boss Wu’s lead and raised his offer.

He also didn’t dare let Chen Mo get the product tested; it was inextricably linked to him.

If the test results came back showing it had a richer microbial ecosystem than the Ganges River, he might as well start thinking about a career change.

Hearing them each add another million, bringing the total compensation to a staggering eight million, an "as expected" expression appeared on Feng Yu’s spirited, pretty face.

She glanced at Chen Mo with admiration. ’He really is the master of making them add more money.’

’With just a couple of sentences, he’d made two men willingly offer him more money.’

"Can I know how this bag of river snail noodles, which is almost a year past its expiration date, came to be?"

"Besides my bag, how many others are there?"

Chen Mo still didn’t respond to their offer. Instead, he asked very seriously and curiously.

’When it comes to a large-scale food safety issue involving hundreds of thousands of orders, I can’t just take the money and keep my mouth shut.’

’If it only involved me, he would have agreed to the eight million.’

’But if he wasn’t the only one, and he chose to stay silent, then far too many people would be affected.’

’So whether or not he agreed to this compensation plan depended on just how many expired bags of river snail noodles they had actually sent out.’

"This whole thing was a real blunder, and a result of our poor warehouse management."

"Here’s what happened..."

At this thought, Boss Wu’s emotions became incredibly complicated. In a tone of both helplessness and exasperation, he explained the situation to Chen Mo.
