Chapter 616: Chapter 615: Under Investigation

After the quality inspection personnel left, Simon White looked at the sealed warehouse and sat on the steps in front of it, feeling defeated like a rooster that had lost a fight.

"What to do... What to do..." Simon White muttered to himself.

South Grant turned her head and saw Simon White’s defeated look. She walked over and helped him up.

"Mr. White, don’t worry yet, I’ll inquire about the situation and see what the higher-ups say."

Simon White, feeling downcast, waved his hand before saying to South Grant:

"South, this situation cannot be delayed. Our orders need to be shipped daily. If there’s a delay in shipment, there will be compensation every day. Once the seals are up, even if our products have no issues, the process will take ten days to half a month. If there’s any further delay, it’ll be a month before the seals are removed. By then, it will be too late to say anything. If the goods can’t be shipped, the contract compensations could bring the company down."

Simon White had spent his whole life at The Ellison Family’s company, so he understood these situations clearly. Once the quality inspection department targets these things, regardless of whether there’s a problem, the company’s reputation will be affected, especially considering their current large order volume.

South Grant listened silently after Simon White finished speaking, not saying a word. Simon White looked at South Grant and couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.

After all, she was young and hadn’t thought about it thoroughly, not understanding the severity of the situation.

In the end, South Grant didn’t offer a solution, merely supporting Simon White and saying, "Mr. White, let me take you home first."

Simon White sighed and didn’t speak anymore, considering it likely that the company would inevitably return to his hands. How could such a well-off product encounter issues?

After South Grant took Simon White home, she heard reports of the incident everywhere along the way.

Over the past two years, Elysian’s Beauty Cream sales had ranked first or second domestically. With this sudden issue, the ensuing storm was imaginable.

Moreover, several celebrities under Stellaris were endorsing Elysian’s Beauty Cream. Due to the product issues, the endorsing celebrities were also affected, causing a stir on Weibo and forums.

Even though Jackson Zane tried to manage the public relations, the situation was too significant to suppress, so the matter continued to ferment.

South Grant’s phone kept ringing with calls from the board’s shareholders. Frowning at the calls, she could almost imagine what they would say.

The incident occurred during her management tenure, and Simon White was suggested by her as the general manager, so naturally, they would pin all the responsibility on South Grant.

Her phone rang and stopped repeatedly until no calls were coming through. She parked by the roadside, leaned back in her seat, and closed her eyes, pondering the situation.

Then she heard her phone ringing again, opened her eyes, and saw it was a call from Chester Lynch.

South Grant swiped to answer the call, and soon Chester Lynch’s voice came through from the other side.

"South, where are you now?"

"I’m outside, what’s going on?"

"I’m at your company, they said you went out. What happened with that batch of goods all of a sudden?"

South Grant rubbed her temples and then said, "We’re investigating the cause. We still don’t know exactly what’s going on, our company is also checking internally."
