Chapter 114 New Product Launch Event
Nicole heard the sarcasm in Joanna’s tone, but she was unperturbed. She simply raised an eyebrow and said, “Isn’t that good? With all the attention, our clothes will sell like hot cakes.”
Nicole’s attitude completely enraged Joanna.
“What the hell are you thinking? The leaked designs will lead to some clothing manufacturers releasing counterfeits before our launch, which will affect our brand’s pre-order sales!”
Noting her angry appearance, Nicole glanced sideways before finishing the coffee in her hand and standing up.
“Director Schmidt, tomorrow’s new product launch will go well. If there are any problems, I will be fully responsible on behalf of F&M Apparel!”
Joanna was so stunned by Nicole’s statement that she couldn’t say anything. Nicole had brought up F&M Apparel, and at any rate, Joanna couldn’t question their company.
After suppressing her anger, she could only make one remark.
“Good luck, then.”
The leaked designs caused a furore, and even Zachary, who was abroad, heard about it. Although he believed in Nicole’s ability, he couldn’t help but be concerned.
“Nicole, it seems like there’s been quite a commotion on the Internet these days. Is something wrong?” Zachary asked gently on the other end of the line.
Nicole chuckled, then briefly explained the matter to him.
After she was done, Zachary couldn’t help laughing.
“You always have many tricks up your sleeves. But there’s so much drama over at the Gardner Corporation. If you don’t like it, you don’t have to stay there. We don’t have to suffer this!”
“I can handle it all. I’m afraid tricks like this won’t even last a week in F&M Apparel,” Nicole sneered sarcastically. She had struggled in F&M Apparel for so many years. Did he think that she got by easily?
“All right, just carry on with what you’re doing. Even if everything collapses, F&M Apparel will have your back!” Zachary assured.
Warmth filled Nicole’s heart as she lowered her voice and thanked him. “Okay. Thank you, Zachary.”
…
The new product launch event of F&M Apparel and the Gardner Corporation was approaching, but the designs had been circulated on the Internet. Regarding this matter, neither company sent a representative to explain the matter in person.
The people spectating wondered if the incident was fake.
For the past few days, the topic of the leaked Garder Corporation’s designs was trending. It just so happened that the product launch event was happening not long after that.
Internet users were all eagerly waiting to see what the Gardner Corporation was going to do this time!
At this new product launch event, Gardner Corporation didn’t invite any media companies, but they came uninvited. The last few rows reserved for the media were packed with people; they were each holding a camera.
Colton, the president of the Gardner Corporation, Joanna, the director of Gardner Apparel, and Lisa, the Chief Designer of F&M Apparel, were all present at the new product launch event.
This lineup itself was already powerful. Coupled with the fact that the design had been leaked on the Internet, it made the new product launch event even more lively.
Joanna was sitting on the stage with an exquisite face of makeup, but her expression was a little sour.
Right before going up on stage, Nicole had told her everything, saying that the leaked design was a previous draft, and the clothes being manufactured weren’t those of the leaked design.
Joanna’s first reaction when she heard this was anger. She was the director of Gardner Apparel, so why did Nicole keep such an important piece of information from her and only told her at the last moment?
However, Nicole added, “President Gardner knows about it too.” So, she had to suppress her anger.
Now that she thought about it, if Nicole was acting alone, the Gardner Corporation’s factories wouldn’t possibly listen to her!
She figured Nicole must have someone backing her up, and it turned out that the person supporting her was Colton.
She didn’t expect that Colton didn’t fully trust her even though she had been in Gardner Apparel for so many years!
