After issuing its statement, Shanlu Milk Powder did not provide any further explanation.
They started posting photos of themselves doing charity work and making donations to salvage their image.
Moreover, significant discounts were offered across all sales channels, resulting in sales figures increasing rather than decreasing.
Some ordinary people who were unaware of the situation and did not pay attention to the internet said that Shanlu Milk Powder was a conscientious company, and that Shanlu Milk Powder recorded this scene and posted it online to whitewash its image.
Even Zhou Chen couldn't help but admire this level of public relations skill.
It must be said that Wu Zhengda is quite capable. Faced with the current crisis, he won the favor of others by engaging in public welfare activities and showing love. He also penetrated the lower-tier market by negotiating prices, interviewing people in small towns who were unaware of the truth, and using them for propaganda to cover up the truth and divert attention.
With the help of influential figures and public intellectuals who defend him, he has fooled many people into speaking up for him.
That's really impressive!
No wonder he was able to escape early in his previous life.
"Brother Chen, Shanlu is now heavily promoting itself to salvage its image. Moreover, there is a lot of support for them on the internet, especially from public intellectuals who attribute it to malicious competition from their peers and even put on a patriotic stance, calling for support for domestic products."
Even Xu Dalong, who was the most emotionally stable person, was furious at Shan Lu's series of shameless actions.
After all, he knew the truth: melamine was detected in all the factories across the country that produced Shanlu milk powder, and this substance can cause irreversible damage to infants. It can be said that if a child drinks too much Shanlu milk powder containing melamine, the child will be completely ruined.
"They like to lie through their teeth, so let's strip them naked and let everyone see what kind of people they are."
“Let’s start with those husbands who spread rumors and smeared me before. I thought they would shut up, but now they’ve jumped out again, taking money that goes against their conscience to speak for the evildoers. Let them taste the bitterness of being punished.”
Zhou Chen said calmly.
Gao Dasong, Qiao Mu, and Zhou Zhi have popped up again. This time, they'll be lucky if they aren't completely crushed.
It is necessary to conduct a comprehensive summary of these guys' past statements and then make them public.
Zhou Chen decided to do it himself.
No one knows better than him how to expose the treacherous nature of these guys, who hide among the people, using patriotism as a pretext to do nothing but betray the country, inciting confrontation and conflict. This social cancer must be eradicated.

Wu Zhengda was extremely busy.
Because he knew that this crisis was very serious. Once his reputation was ruined, bankruptcy would be just a matter of one night. The most fatal thing was that almost all of his assets were tied up in the Shanlu Milk Powder Factory. In order to buy the remaining shares and become the largest shareholder, he emptied his pockets.
Mountain Road Milk Powder must never turn yellow!
To weather this crisis, he did charity work, sought out public intellectuals to speak out, suppressed trending topics, hired a group of online trolls to speak on Shanlu's behalf, and even spent a lot of money to silence some media outlets and reduce negative reports about Shanlu.
These expenses were not small, but even so, Wu Zhengda was still uneasy because he knew that many of the milk powders produced by the branch factories did have problems, and secondly, they had already attracted the attention of relevant departments.
Adding to the pressure, Wu Zhengda felt immense pressure from the backlash from his peers.
"Who on earth is behind this messing with me?!"
Wu Zhengda clenched his fists, his face so gloomy it was almost dripping with water. He had spent a lot of money to bribe several insiders in the same industry, and the definite information he received was that those people were not the ones who did this.
This is what Wu Zhengda fears most, because he doesn't know who the enemy is.
The unknown is the most terrifying.
No one knows what killer move the other side will make next.
"Dad, think about it again. Have you offended someone?"
"This must have been done by an enemy. Otherwise, who would go through the trouble of buying milk powder from our branches all over the country and conducting collective testing?"
Wu Bin said with a serious expression.
Wu Zhengda was well aware of this, but he racked his brains but couldn't figure out that he had such an enemy.
"Dad, do you think it could be Sun Liancheng?"
Seeing Wu Zhengda frowning and remaining silent, Wu Bin suddenly uttered a startling statement.
Um?
Wu Zhengda was slightly taken aback.
To be honest, he thought there was definitely a possibility that his son Wu Bin was right.
But then he immediately denied it.
“It couldn’t be him. Although I warned him around the same time he was exposed, don’t forget that the test results would have taken at least three or four days to be ready. At that time, we hadn’t even had dinner with him or mentioned you and his daughter.”
Wu Zhengda said calmly, "It couldn't be Sun Liancheng, because the timing of the rift between him and Sun Liancheng doesn't match up. Sun Liancheng wouldn't have targeted him without reason."
After hearing Wu Zhengda's analysis, Wu Bin realized that he had indeed been overthinking things.
"But I can't think of anyone else besides him."
Wu Bin rubbed his temples, feeling that his family was being watched in the dark, and that the enemy's identity was well hidden.
"Let's ignore him for now. I've already sent people to investigate. We'll catch that person red-handed sooner or later. The most important thing right now is how to deal with any further exposure. The relevant departments have already investigated and collected evidence, and they will soon confirm the previous report. We need to find a few scapegoats to defuse this crisis."
"Xiao Bin, I'm leaving this matter to you. I don't trust anyone else with it."
Upon hearing the words "scapegoat," Wu Bin understood Wu Zhengda's meaning: as long as the blame was shifted to a scapegoat, and the issue was attributed to personal factors, thus removing the Shanlu Dairy Factory powder from the list, even if the tests and exposures proved it to be genuine, there would still be a way out.
He understood this approach: diverting attention and resolving conflicts.
"Dad, don't worry, I'll go to those branch factories right away and let them take on these responsibilities themselves."
Wu Bin patted his chest.
Leaving the office,
Wu Bin cursed the culprit who ruined their business and secretly built the mountain road. Why did he have to pick a fight with them?
"Don't let me find out who you are, or I'll tear you to pieces."
Wu Bin narrowed his eyes. If Shanlu went bankrupt, he, Wu Bin, a rich second-generation, would become a poor second-generation, and his life would plummet.
His hatred for that person was no less than that for Wu Zhengda.
Just as I was thinking,
Suddenly, as if by some strange twist of fate, a figure appeared in Wu Bin's mind.
Could it be that he did it?
Wu Bin frowned in thought.
A few seconds later, he shook his head, thinking it was unlikely, because that guy didn't know that Shanlu Milk Powder belonged to his family.
Not to mention, Zhou Chen rose to power thanks to Sun Liancheng, and is merely a puppet in Sun Liancheng's hands. If he dares to do such a thing, Sun Liancheng will be the first to stop him.
He must be overthinking it!
