Chapter 181 Human Flesh Exam
Lucia's words stunned the man for a while, but the man soon glared at her.
"Yesterday! Look at this data on the medical record!"
Lucia took a half step forward and then asked, "Then, have you been to the after-sales department?"
The man panicked at Lucia's question.
"No...I haven't! They refused to accept my complaint!"
"Oh?"
Lucia fixed her eyes on the man.
"If I were you and my kid got injured by the product, I would get him treated and then go directly to the after-sale service department for an explanation and compensation.But you didn't even look for any after-sale service.Instead, you came to our release meeting and made such a scene.I don't think a normal consumer would do such a thing."
Lucia's words added more flusters to the man's face.
Onlookers also felt Lucia’s words reasonable.
Generally speaking, a consumer would ask for after-sale service instead of making trouble at the release meeting when the product he bought had caused enough trouble.
This man was suspicious.
Lucia saw that the man was speechless, and took out the sample of the new product and showed it to the audience, "Our product can only be mass-produced and sold after a strict safety inspection.Even if this product has a spiral blade, the spiral blade is made of special materials and its size is well- matched.It will not operate at all if foreign matters are detected.Even if I put my finger in it, my finger will not get hurt."
Hearing this, the man snorted, "If you're so sure, then put your fingers in and show us!"
In an instant, the crowd all focused on Lucia.
After all, action speaks louder than words.
After hesitation, Lucia looked at the ventilation holes in the product in her hand and gasped nervously.
All her knowledge of the new products came from Carter's materials.
The data on the materials only showed the safety factor of the product.She didn't know whether it would cause injury or not.
But Boehm’s products were becoming better and better over the years.
Safety issues were the most basic, at which Lucia believed Boehm's designers wouldn't make such careless mistakes.
The man aside snorted.
"See? She is afraid! That's proof!"
"Who told you that?"
Lucia looked up at the man as she turned the product over and put her index and middle fingers into the hole together.
All the people nearby raised their phones and began videoing.
They were all waiting for the result.
Nothing would be more exciting than a safety factor exam with human flesh.
Some even started live streaming to show netizens the latest progress.
Being stared at by everyone, Lucia braced herself and pressed the switch button.
The moment the product started working, Lucia felt extreme pain coming from her fingertips.
She subconsciously trembled and loosened her grip on the sample, which directly fell to the ground.
All the people cried out in shock.
Lucia could hear the sharp intake of breaths of onlookers.
She lowered her head and saw injuries on her fingers.
Blood was gushing out, streamed down her fingers, and fell to the ground.
She didn't find blood so terrifyingly red before.Her fingers weren't hurt the most.Her feeling was hurt the most.She never expected the meeting to end up in this way.
In sneers and laughter, the crowd thinned out.
Harsh remarks could be heard.
"Holy shit.They should be selling a self-injuring machine!"
"What a shame! I won't buy such a thing!"
"Let's go.Hurry.Never touch anything with the brand Boehm on."
The man looked at Lucia with a sneer, and he asked, "Humph! Being cut by your product.Any more excuses you can come up with now?"
Lucia felt so ashamed and she was frozen to the ground.
Her experiment with herself failed to redeem the product's reputation but even brought Boehm into a direr situation.
She had successfully helped the product reach its doom.
It shouldn't be like this.
She felt something wrong.
Lucia lowered her head in regret, anxiety, panic, and flustered.
She gritted her teeth and felt so rueful.
What should I do? What should I do? She cried in her heart.
She looked at the sample on the ground and, suddenly, she locked her gaze on the connection at the bottom of the product.
In an instant, she felt something wrong.
As if something triggered her, she abruptly looked up at the dissembling crowd and shouted.
"Wait!"
Everyone was shocked by her sudden cry, and, in confusion and curiosity, they turned around and looked at Lucia, their eyes full of a sneer.
Lucia gritted her teeth and picked up the product on the ground.She checked the product carefully, then turned to the crowd and raised her voice, "This sample...has a problem!"
Her words rekindled the crowd's curiosity.She was again surrounded by people who wanted to see more fun.
The man beside her showed flusters in his eyes as he heard Lucia's words.
Lucia, ignoring her bleeding fingers, held the product in her hand and showed it to the crowd.
"This screw was unscrewed! Which means, this sample was filthily worked on."
The sample was directly delivered from the factory and she checked it yesterday.
The connection at the baseplate of the sample was different from what she saw the day before.
It seemed to have been opened with a screwdriver, and traces were left.
As she said, she immediately sealed off another product in the gift box and asked the security guard to help open the baseplates of both machines with a screwdriver.
After the baseplates were both opened, the crowd was dumbfounded.
The surfaces looked the same, while the inside was completely different. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
One used simple metal blades while the other used white blades that were made of special material.
Even the lengths and sizes were different.
The one that hurt Lucia was the one with simple metal blades! Apparently, the sample was rigged.
The discussion came from the crowd.
At this moment, the man looked flustered and was to squeeze himself out of the crowd.
Lucia immediately mentioned the security guards to catch the man.
The man failed to squeeze out and the guards rushed over and pressed him onto the ground.
Lucia took a tissue to wrap her bleeding finger and looked at the crowd in pain.
"I am sorry for the farce just now.Please believe in Lion Group and Boehm.We won't let unsafe products enter the market.Whether this accident was a conspiracy or a frame-up, I believe that Lion Group will give us an explanation."
Then, she bowed to the crowd.Discussions could be heard.
Obviously, the public changed their attitude towards Boehm.
"We believe you!"
"Yeah.Go treat your wounds..."
Hearing this, Lucia felt her heart warm.She smiled at them and left after she urged the other staff to keep the release meeting going smoothly.
"Why didn't you help Ms.Lucia?"
“Iam in charge of area B.You were free.Why didn't you..."
Backstage, several employees were passing the buck.
Lucia gritted her teeth and pulled the tissues and wrapped her fingers off.
"Enough arguing.The meeting isn't over yet.Go back to your posts and keep such accidents out of our schedule!"
"But, Ms.Lucia, what about your fingers..."
Lucia forced a smile.
"I'm fine.I'll get something to wrap the wounds.You guys go out first."
After talking them into returning to work, Lucia wrinkled her brows in anxiety.She was aware that no one could stand out except her.
Lyan was absent, and she, as the planner, had to bring everything under control.She took her bag and rummaged through it.She couldn't find a single bandage to get her wounds dressed.Her bag suddenly slipped out of her hands and fell to the ground.
As she bent over to pick it up, she saw a pair of nicely polished shoes.
