Chapter 827: In the Eye of the Storm
The journalists’ interview lasted nearly an hour.
Among the family members, there were also employees working at Qiansimei, and the news they leaked was nothing good.
It was as if Qiansimei was an enterprise with twisted values, unhygienic, unsafe, and deceptive to consumers.
Lin Tian felt very upset seeing this; this is just too outrageous!
After the interview, the journalists and family members naturally left.
Less than two hours after they left, a news agency was the first to publish an exposé article. Subsequent streams of news articles were dense, filling several pages with a simple internet search.
"The Dark Side of Qiansimei," "The Truth About the Qiansimei Factory Explosion," "White Lotus Muscle Powder May Be a Slow-acting Banned Substance"...
Such heart-piercing articles were countless online.
Additionally, Qiansimei’s attitude when compensating the families of the deceased employees was extremely bad, portraying Bai Shishi as a heartless boss.
All along, Qiansimei had attracted attention due to the extraordinary effects of its various products, and the factory explosion pushed Qiansimei into the eye of the storm even more.
In less than a few hours, another revelation dropped like a bomb, causing the whole internet to boil!
What could explode? The first things everyone thought of were chemicals, and secondly, safety issues.
Moreover, this matter was linked to the Bai Family. Although many scandals involving the Bai Family were settled a couple of months ago, when brought up by those with intentions at this time, many people still cast skeptical eyes.
In response, Qiansimei only released a message.
Qiansimei has signed an order for hemostatic ointments with the military, attaching a result from the Kanyue City Drug Testing Bureau, showing all indicators for the ’Celestial Dome Hemostatic Ointment’ are very qualified.
This left those watching the drama dumbfounded. How did this matter even get linked to the military?
...
Xianglong Building has a very unique location, because it previously served as a card-skill arena, it was not within the commercial office district.
However, since Xianglong Tea House is a Bai Family property, there are many other Bai Family properties around Xianglong Building.
At this moment, the building opposite Xianglong Building is one of the Bai Family’s properties, mainly focusing on textiles.
In the past few months, this textile company was also exposed to many scandals, and its stock price fell to rock bottom. Therefore, eighty percent of the company’s equity was bought by Bai Shishi.
However, later Bai Shishi transferred the equity to Bai Tianlong, who then redistributed it back to these people’s hands.
But the equity gap before and after is simply worlds apart!
Before, they were the bosses, just waiting to collect money. Now their identities are employees; they need to work, or they won’t get a penny.
Of course, this situation isn’t limited to just this textile company; many Bai Family properties are the same.
This naturally also stirred these people’s anger, but what good is anger with Bai Tianlong suppressing them? The power is in someone else’s hands!
Bai Yu is Bai Shishi’s cousin, three years older than Shishi, and resembling her closely, but their temperaments and identities are entirely opposite.
Bai Shishi is naturally easygoing and amiable, and she is the daughter of the Bai Family Patriarch, Bai Tianlong.
Although Bai Yu is also a direct descendant of the Bai Family, in terms of status, she falls short and has been competitive since childhood, yet always falling short of Bai Shishi! The most evident point is that Bai Shishi has Xianglong Tea House, Qiansimei, and so many incredibly desirable industries.
And Bai Yu? Only this not-so-lucrative textile factory, and if not for the Bai Family connection, it would have long been bankrupt.
When she was a shareholder before, she could hardly get any money annually, and now without the equity, she’s not getting any money at all.
Cutting off a person’s wealth is like killing their parents!
Bai Yu has been waiting for this chance for revenge for a very, very long time!
Xianglong Building has ten floors, and the textile company’s building has twelve floors! This was Bai Yu’s request; she wanted to live higher, see further than Bai Shishi!
On the twelfth floor of the building opposite, in Bai Yu’s office, besides her, sat four gentlemen. If Xu Miaoxiu saw these people, she would definitely recognize them. The four men present here hold significant positions in their respective families.
Every Ancient Martial family has their own enterprises in civilian life, and naturally, there are people to manage these enterprises, who are very professional.
"Heh, I never expected it; we hardly exerted any effort, and their own employees started speaking for us. This time it’s like yellow mud falling into the pants, whether it’s not shit, it’s still shit." The speaker was a man in his thirties, very handsome, particularly striking with his long legs.
He is the representative of the Yue Family’s civilian enterprises, Yue Rong, who has demonstrated remarkable achievements in the business world over the years.
Bai Yu sat in the corner of the sofa, holding a lady’s cigarette, leisurely took a puff, and said with a smile: "How do you know I didn’t spend any effort?"
"Oh? So you’re saying those workers and family members were bribed by you?"
"Hmm, I spent a little money. But anything to ruin Bai Shishi, what’s a little money?"
"Hahaha, I found that choosing you was a very wise decision. If it weren’t for you, that factory wouldn’t have exploded so easily."
The speaker was Li Shan from the Ancient Martial Li Family, with a rugged appearance but bold and meticulous by nature.
As he spoke, Li Shan hooked his arm around Bai Yu’s shoulders, his robust hand carefully exploring.
Bai Yu frowned, immediately slapped Li Shan’s hand away, and said irritably: "You better show some respect to this lady!"
"Yo~ still pretending? Didn’t you say before, as long as we take down Bai Shishi, you’d be willing to sleep with the four of us?" Yue Rong laughed, his smile very clean and pure, but in reality, he’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
"That also depends on taking her down first. Do you think I’m a woman who would sleep with just anyone?"
"Aren’t you? Judging by the gap between your thighs, even if not fifty, you’ve slept with at least thirty men, still pretending?"
Hearing this, Bai Yu wasn’t the slightest bit angry; instead, she laughed and said: "I choose who I want to sleep with and how many, not your business! You guys are also interested in a woman like me; it doesn’t make you anything good either."
"Hahaha, you have quite a sense of superiority."
"Alright, alright, you guys can save this topic for tonight. There shouldn’t be any flaws in that exploded factory, right?"
Bai Yu carelessly placed her bare legs on the coffee table, making it obvious with a glance that this shameless woman wasn’t even wearing underwear.
"Flaws? How could my people leave any flaws? Even if there were flaws, they would have exploded into pieces along with their raw materials. Even if the police take those raw materials for testing, what they find has nothing to do with us!"
