This Bad Luck is Awesome!

"You sent the customer luosifen that was almost a year past its expiration date. What does that have to do with me?"

Brother Da Niu seemed to realize the problem and immediately tried to distance himself.

"The customer told me he’s your fan. He bought it from your livestream because he trusted you."

"Now that this has happened, he’s very disappointed and plans to post about it online."

Boss Wu started putting the screws to Brother Da Niu.

Chen Mo had him cornered, so he was cornering Brother Da Niu.

After all, he and Brother Da Niu were in this together when it came to Chen Mo.

Neither of them could escape.

The goods were shipped from his warehouse, but they were sold on Brother Da Niu’s livestream.

Now that there was a problem, who could possibly get away?

"..."

After hearing what Boss Wu said, Brother Da Niu fell silent.

He wanted to argue, but he couldn’t seem to find a reason.

A fan bought luosifen from his livestream, only to receive old stock that was nearly a year expired.

The customer doesn’t care about the brand. He bought it on your livestream, so he holds you responsible.

Once this got out online, given his popularity, it would instantly create a massive wave of negative publicity.

Popularity is a double-edged sword.

Normally, when selling products, that popularity meant a steady stream of orders.

But when a crisis hit, that same popularity would become a hail of bullets, riddling him with holes.

His competitors, who were always eyeing his popularity, would probably love to buy a million trending spots just to see him fail.

So, he absolutely couldn’t let this get out. He had to resolve this properly.

"Where’s the customer? Suzhou or Modu?"

Brother Da Niu stopped trying to distance himself and asked directly where Chen Mo was.

’Since he received the package so quickly, he must be somewhere nearby.’

"The customer is in Modu. I’ll go with you to his place to discuss compensation."

Boss Wu didn’t waste any time and told Brother Da Niu his plan.

"Fine."

Brother Da Niu agreed without a second thought.

"Okay, I’ll communicate with the customer."

Boss Wu hung up the phone.

「Chen Mo’s Apartment.」

Chen Mo sat leisurely on the sofa, playing on his phone.

He knew what Boss Wu was doing right now.

In fact, he was thinking the same thing as Boss Wu.

Neither Boss Wu nor Brother Da Niu could get out of this unscathed.

They had to bear the responsibility together.

That’s why when Boss Wu suggested coming to his home, he hadn’t answered right away.

Instead, he had brought up Brother Da Niu.

He trusted that the other party would understand what he meant.

As if remembering something, he opened his chat with Feng Yu.

"I heard you say you have the day off today? Are you free?"

Chen Mo sent Feng Yu a WeChat message.

Feng Yu had mentioned yesterday that she was off today.

"I’m free. I slept all morning, so I’m fully recharged."

Feng Yu replied to his message quickly.

RING~

He was just about to type a reply when his phone rang. It was Boss Wu.

"Hello?"

Chen Mo smiled faintly and answered the call.

"Mr. Chen, I’ve spoken with Brother Da Niu. He also feels terrible about this and would like to come to your home with me to apologize and discuss compensation."

"I was wondering if that would be convenient for you? We are genuinely coming with the sincere intention of resolving this matter."

Boss Wu got straight to the point, explaining their intentions to Chen Mo.

"Alright. My address is..."

Seeing that they genuinely wanted to resolve this as quickly as possible, Chen Mo gave him the address.

"Okay, please wait at home. We’ll be there right away."

After saying that, Boss Wu hung up.

"Driver, take me to Modu!"

Boss Wu got straight into the car and told the driver to go.

While in the car, he called Brother Da Niu and gave him Chen Mo’s address.

They also agreed to meet downstairs from Chen Mo’s apartment and go up together.

After hanging up, Chen Mo went back to chatting with Feng Yu.

"Want to come over for a bit? Help me with something."

Chen Mo sent a WeChat message to Feng Yu.

He wanted Feng Yu to come over and back him up.

’When they get here, they’ll definitely want to inspect the bag of luosifen to confirm it’s their product.’

’What if they swap my bag with another one during the inspection? That would be a problem, wouldn’t it?’

’Or what if they just try to destroy the evidence by force? The possibility is very, very low, but still.’

’I have to be on my guard.’

’It’s safer to have Feng Yu here.’

"Okay, I’m on my way."

Feng Yu agreed without a second thought.

She didn’t even ask for the address; she had already been there twice.

Once for the kid tied up upstairs, and again when he was mailing a package.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK~

About twenty minutes later, Chen Mo heard a knock on the door.

He glanced through the peephole and saw Feng Yu dressed in casual clothes.

CLICK~

He opened the door to see Feng Yu standing ramrod straight at his doorstep.

It seemed she was well-rested; the glow on her pretty face was a little brighter today.

She looked even more beautiful.

"Come in."

Chen Mo stepped aside to let her into the apartment.

"Have a seat."

Chen Mo poured her a glass of water and sat down with her on the sofa.

"What’s up?"

After sitting down, Feng Yu looked at him with curious, beautiful eyes.

’Chen Mo asked me to come help, but it doesn’t look like anything’s wrong?’

"So, here’s the thing..."

Chen Mo briefly explained the whole story to her.

"Your luck is just..."

Feng Yu was speechless after hearing the story. She gave him a strange look, at a loss for words.

Buying a bag of luosifen on a livestream and getting one that’s nearly a year expired.

His luck was absolutely rotten.

But Chen Mo said the brand’s owner and the streamer, Brother Da Niu, were on their way to his place.

They were coming to discuss a compensation plan in person.

She had seen this kind of scenario several times before; she knew what would happen next without even having to think.

’In the end, is this really bad luck?’

’It seems like it, but also not really.’

All she could say was that she was truly speechless about Chen Mo’s luck.

"I can’t help it either."

Chen Mo spread his hands and shrugged.

The two of them sat on the sofa chatting.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK~

An hour later, there was finally a knock at his door.

Chen Mo got up, went to the door, glanced through the peephole, and opened it.

After opening the door, he saw four people standing outside.

He recognized one of them: Brother Da Niu from last night’s livestream.

He guessed that the other man, who was in his forties, was Boss Wu.

As for the other man and woman, he figured they were probably their assistants or drivers.

"Mr. Chen?"

Boss Wu glanced at Chen Mo, surprised by how young he was.

He didn’t sound nearly as worldly-wise as he had on the phone.

"That’s me. Come in."

Chen Mo nodded at him and stepped aside to let them in.

However, only Boss Wu and Brother Da Niu entered; the other two remained standing at the door.

"Mr. Chen, is this your wife?"

After entering, Boss Wu saw Feng Yu sitting on the sofa and couldn’t help but ask.

’The fewer people who know about this, the better. I need to figure out who Feng Yu is.’

In his eyes, Feng Yu was about the same age as Chen Mo and also very beautiful; for them to be in the same apartment, their relationship surely wasn’t simple.

She was either his wife or his girlfriend.

"This is my friend."

Chen Mo clarified for them.

"Hello."

Feng Yu knew why Chen Mo had asked her to come.

So she took the initiative to greet the two men and flashed her credentials.

"Hello, hello!"

After seeing her credentials, Boss Wu and Brother Da Niu were both momentarily stunned, then they hurriedly greeted her.

They shot Chen Mo a surprised glance, not expecting him to have actually called the police.

"Gentlemen, would you like to see the evidence?"

Chen Mo didn’t waste any time and asked them directly.

"We’d like to see it."

The two men nodded. They still needed to see the evidence.

’What if it’s not our fault?’

Then, Chen Mo showed them the evidence he had prepared.

An unedited, continuous backup video, the shipping label on the opened delivery box.

Screenshots of the order information, and most importantly, the bag of luosifen itself.

After reviewing everything, Boss Wu and Brother Da Niu were speechless.

Chen Mo’s evidence was too thorough, too meticulous.

They had nothing to say and couldn’t find any loopholes or flaws.

At the same time, they both understood one thing: if this evidence were posted online...

...they would have absolutely no way to refute it.

"Mr. Chen, we admit that this was our fault."

"Therefore, both of us will offer you a compensation plan that you will find satisfactory."

Boss Wu glanced at Brother Da Niu, then spoke to Chen Mo with a grave expression.

"The compensation plan we discussed is as follows: we will each compensate you with 3 million yuan, for a total of 6 million yuan."

"You will destroy all the evidence, we will take this bag of luosifen with us, and the matter will end here. What do you think?"

Boss Wu didn’t waste words or try to test the waters with a low offer; he directly stated the compensation plan they had agreed upon downstairs.

Both sides would compensate Chen Mo with 3 million, for a total of 6 million!
