Reporters handed the microphone again and asked, "What's going on? Can President Qin explain it clearly to us?"
A hint of helplessness appeared on Qin Lan's face. After hesitating for a moment, he slowly said, "To tell you the truth, the hygiene problem in the factory this time was an accident. Someone deliberately smeared honey in the corners and on the machines!
The person who smeared honey was none other than two employees of my company. The reason was that their families were in financial difficulty, and they had asked me for a raise, which I refused. Therefore, they held a grudge and chose this method to get revenge on me."
The reporter nodded and then posed a sharp question, "So, in the end, it was an internal problem within the company that caused consumers to pay for it."
Qin Lan lowered his head. When he looked up again, his expression was exceptionally sincere, "Yes, so I feel very guilty. I don't expect everyone to forgive me, but I promise our loyal customers here that I will strictly supervise the factory's hygiene issues from now on!
Of course, just talking is not enough. We have already arranged for people to install cameras in every corner of the factory. All the videos are public, and the factory is also open. If you are interested or want to supervise the hygiene, you are welcome to come to the factory to watch the videos at any time!"
Watching Qin Lan's performance on TV, Chen Li Shu gnawed on the fruit in her hand with great relish. Both the reasons and the attitude were quite acceptable. As expected of a seasoned veteran who had been in the workplace for many years.
After clarifying the matter, Qin Lan did not rush to leave. Instead, he took the opportunity to launch an advertisement.
He said with a sincere attitude, "The company has recently developed a new sausage, a pure meat crispy bone sausage! I know this sausage is quite popular in the market. To compensate old customers for their losses, I have decided to offer this sausage as compensation, allowing everyone to try it at the lowest price!"
"The crispy bone sausage tastes much better than ordinary sausages. So, what is the lowest price you mentioned, President Qin?"
Qin Lan held up one finger and said generously, "Ten cents per piece!"
"Did everyone hear that? Ten cents a piece. The crispy bone sausages on the market are all fifteen cents. This is indeed a significant discount. I hope President Qin can supervise the hygiene issues more closely in the coming days. Your factory has been operating for more than ten years and is a childhood memory for some children. We must protect it well!"
After the reporter finished speaking, the press conference did not end immediately. Qin Lan had also arranged for some actors to be present at the press conference. After the reporters finished their interviews, these actors would speak one after another, asking questions about the company and its products.
Subsequently, Qin Lan answered these actors' questions in a humorous and witty style. It must be said that this press conference was very successful. If Chen Li Shu had not known the whole story, she would have been impressed by Qin Lan's generous speech!
She slowly picked up the remote control and turned off the TV, looking up at the ceiling. She was stunned for a moment and muttered softly, "Ten cent sausages? It seems Qin Lan has gone to great lengths to deal with me this time!"
It is known that the cost of crispy bone sausages is inherently high, not to mention labor and rent. Ten cents a piece, while not a loss, does not yield any profit. If this continues for a long time, it will be a very cruel situation for a newly opened factory!
Just as Chen Li Shu was contemplating this matter, the door to the ward was suddenly opened.
She looked in the direction of the sound and saw Gu Xing Dong.
Gu Xing Dong looked at the remote control on Chen Li Shu's right side and asked, "You know about Qin Lan's press conference?"
"Mhm."
Gu Xing Dong gently caressed Chen Li Shu's forehead and softly comforted her, "First, get well. I will handle this matter for you. Yang Zhi Guo and I have discussed it, and we will find a way to get He Lei to talk and make him pay for his actions!"
He Lei?!
At the mention of this matter, Chen Li Shu suddenly sat up from the bed, grabbed Gu Xing Dong's hand, and said, "I have evidence! It's with Wang Yu Hua in Gui Jia Village!"
Gu Xing Dong met Chen Li Shu's eyes and then said, "Okay, I'll send someone to Gui Jia Village now!"
----
Xin Xin Group.
Yang Li Li received a call from Shu Hong and learned that Chen Li Shu had been taken away by Gu Xing Dong.
"Did Chen Li Shu have any relations with Xu Teng?" Yang Li Li asked impatiently.
Shu Hong, on the other end of the phone, was silent for a moment, then mumbled, "No, it could have been successful. Who knew that halfway through the wedding, that little slut's man burst in..."
Yang Li Li slammed the table and roared, "Useless! You can't even do such a small thing! Your sister wants you to work in my company. I don't think your brain is suitable to work under me!"
After saying that, Yang Li Li was about to hang up.
Shu Hong hurriedly pleaded, "Wait... wait! Director Yang, I know you want to deal with Chen Li Shu. I have another way to ruin her reputation!"
Yang Li Li sneered, her tone impatient, "Good, I'll give you one chance. If you say something good, I'll take you out of this remote mountain area! If the answer is not satisfactory, you and your sister can both go back to farming!"
Shu Hong swallowed and stammered, "Old Mrs. Xu had a stroke and is in the hospital. Chen Li Shu is inseparable from this matter. I want to use Xu Teng to drag Chen Li Shu down!"
Yang Li Li, being very intelligent, immediately understood what the other party meant. Her eyes lit up as she said, "She had a stroke and is in the hospital? Then, according to this, Chen Li Shu is equivalent to a murderer! Alright, you will do the ideological work with Xu Teng. If you need money to bribe him, just tell me. Name your price, and I will try my best to satisfy you."
Hearing this, Shu Hong, eager to prove herself, quickly refused, "No need. I can control Xu Teng without spending a penny. Just leave this matter to me."
"Mhm." Hearing Shu Hong's assurance, Yang Li Li's anger subsided considerably.
----
Three days later, Chen Li Shu was finally discharged from the hospital. After a brief reunion with her two children at home, she rushed to the factory.
"President Chen, Qin's Group stole our secret recipe, and their sausages are cheaper than ours. We have no market share. If this continues, our company's product sales will be a big problem. We can still break even now, but later..."
The speaker was Shen Wei, a newly hired manager by Chen Li Shu. He was an ordinary college student, but he was quick-witted and efficient. Chen Li Shu saw him as a promising talent and kept him by her side for personal training.
