“How could this be?!”

Yang Tiannan was dumbfounded. In his opinion, he had already reached an agreement with Lingyun Group. They shouldn’t have gone back on their word!

“I don’t know either.”

Wu Juan didn’t know how to answer this question.

You were the one who went to talk to them, and now this happened. The problem was with you, okay?

In a hurry, Yang Tiannan turned on his computer and checked Lingyun Group’s

official Weibo and official website.

They realized that they had released their second public relations article almost

at the same time.

The time they released these updates was exactly the time that both sides sat

down to meet!

In other words, they had no intention of giving up!

They didn’t take him seriously at all!

“d.a.m.nit!”

Yang Tiannan clenched his fists and cursed loudly.

This was the first time he had suffered such humiliation.

Moreover, he was humiliated by two women!

It was obvious that He Yuanyuan was the mastermind behind this.

Tian Yan wouldn’t do such a shameless thing.

“President Yang, we’re in a very disadvantageous situation. If we don t take action now, our influence will further wane, and our situation will become even more dangerous!”

“I know.”

Yang Tiannan frowned and looked at Zhao Fenghua.

“Don’t you know a person called Zhang Jin? Let’s see if he knows anyone from the quality inspection and industry. If there’s an official to stand up for us, we can immediately stabilize the situation.”

“Got it. I’ll call and ask now!”

Zhao Fenghua, recognizing the gravity of the situation, knew that their own efforts alone wouldn’t be enough to quell the online uproar.

“We need to get someone from the government on our side to stabilize the

situation quickly.”

“Understood, I’ll call him right now!”

Zhao Fenghua quickly took out his phone and dialed Zhang Jin’s number. Unexpectedly, when the call connected, a strange man’s voice came through.

“Who are you?”

“I’m a friend of Director Zhang, I need to speak with him about something,”

Zhao Fenghua replied politely.

“He’s currently under investigation, please wait for the results before

discussing any matters.”

“Under… under investigation!”

Upon hearing this news, Zhao Fenghua was stunned for a long time. He could

not believe it.

Why would Zhang Jin be placed under investigation for no reason?

“What happened? Why do you look so pale?” Yang Tiannan asked.

“Zhang Jin is under investigation. He can’t help us anymore,” said Zhao

Fenghua with a frown.

“Even him!”

Yang Tiannan’s expression was extremely ugly. This outcome was beyond his expectations.

“I was hoping he could take care of Lin Yi for us, but now look, Lin Yi is still here and he’s the one who’s gone down first. This makes things complicated with the court.”

“Anyway, that avenue is no longer viable.”

Just then, the sound of knocking erupted.

Yang Tiannan’s secretary rushed in from outside.

“President Yang, it’s bad news. Many official Weibo accounts have publicly named us, accusing our actions of infringing on the rights of Huaxian consumers.”

“The state media has gotten involved!”

“Yes, I’ve heard that various departments, including the Industry and Commerce Administration and the Quality Supervision Department, have issued statements. They will conduct a thorough investigation into this matter. The current situation is very unfavorable for us!”

“How, how could this be…”

Yang Tiannan sat on the chair with a pale face.

Initially, he thought that as long as the officials did not partic.i.p.ate, there would be no problem for his side!

But now, the relevant department had spoken. To Tesla, this would be the straw

the would break the camel’s back!

Facing them, he had no room to resist!

” Hurry up and apologize! Take the initiative to admit your mistake this time! But be more subtle. You can’t admit everything. Do you understand what I mean?”

“Got it, President Yang!” Wu Juan replied and walked out of the office.

“Everything was fine. Why did this happen?!”

Yang Tiannan held his forehead. “This was between us and the consumers. Why is it attracting so much attention?”

“I’m also puzzled. That woman has no power or influence. She couldn’t possibly pose a threat to us,” Zhao Fenghua said.

“The fuse of this matter was the entrance of Lingyun Group. If they hadn’t partic.i.p.ated, things wouldn’t have ended up like this.”

“That’s the problem. We didn’t provoke Lingyun Group or s.n.a.t.c.h their business. Why are they targeting us?!”

Yang Tiannan’s words made Zhao Fenghua fall into deep thought.

No matter how he looked at it, there was something fishy about this matter.

“In this case, the most suspicious person is Zhang Jin,” Zhao Fenghua said.

“A few days ago, when we were eating together, he told me that in half a year, he would be promoted and have a bright future. Now, such a thing had happened…”

Zhao Fenghua stopped mid-sentence. His eyes darted around as though he had thought of something.

“What’s wrong? Why did you suddenly stop?”

“I just remembered something,” Zhao Fenghua said with an ugly expression.

“What is it?”

“I called Lin Yi before and told him about my powerful connections, but not only was he not afraid, he even threatened me.”

Yang Tiannan raised his head and looked at Zhao Fenghua. “What did he threaten you with?”

“I said, if you don’t cooperate with me, I’ll destroy your rice bowl. However, he said the opposite. Not only will he destroy our rice bowl, but he’d also destroy our whole rice pot…”

“Well…”

Yang Tiannan was stunned.

Although he was still not sure if this matter had anything to do with him, judging from the current situation, his pot had indeed been smashed.

“Give him a call and find out his thoughts.”

“Okay.”

Zhao Fenghua nervously took out his phone. He felt like he was about to be sentenced to death.

“Mr. Lin?”

“Why are you looking for me?”

“I want to ask you, have you thought about what I told you before? Working with us will be beneficial to you. Otherwise, your job…”

“Why are you still acting cool with me at a time like this?

Zhao Fenghua was interrupted before he could finish his sentence. Zhao Fenghua was not embarra.s.sed and pretended to be calm.

“I don’t knowwhatyou mean.”

“Are you pretending to be confused?” Lin Yi said.

“Zhang Jin is being investigated, and the relevant departments have already come forward, yet you’re still f*cking acting cool. I have to say, you people are really funny. You’re stupid, but do you really think that others are as stupid as you?”

Zhao Fenghua was rendered speechless by Lin Yi’s words.

Because their current state was indeed very miserable.

“I’ve said it before. Not only will I smash your bowls, but I’ll also smash your rice pot. The game has just begun. Don’t be so anxious!”

” Did you plan all of this?!”

“Don’t, don’t, don’t flatter me. I’m not that capable.” Lin Yi smiled.

“But I know what the future holds. Let’s wait and see.”
