Chapter 814 Who is that woman?
After looking around, Mr. Zhang's gaze finally settled on Bai Yi.
"Of the three of you, you're the only one who looks like a normal person. I believe what you say. I'm doing this just to protect myself. I'll even give you money if you want. You have to promise me you won't let me in!"
He hesitated for a long time before finally saying that when he went to the hospital to find those parents that day, he ran into a woman who told him that if he wanted to completely pin the blame on Wang Ye, he could ask the food and drug administration to do something.
After returning home, Mr. Zhang thought about it. If the parents were to accuse Wang Ye's hot pot restaurant, he would have to prove that there was something wrong with the restaurant, but making a false report would be too risky.
Therefore, the only solution is to have the food safety bureau suppress the results.
As long as the outcome remains uncertain and the parents continue to put pressure on Wang Ye, once the lawsuit goes to court, even if Wang Ye runs himself ragged, he probably won't be able to explain himself clearly.
By then, no one will care about the truth of the matter anymore.
After hearing this, Wang Ye jumped up in anger, "No way, you look so respectable, but you don't do anything that's even remotely human!"
Mr. Zhang was still feeling aggrieved. "What can I do? My parents died young, and my relatives are eyeing my family's assets. If I go to jail, all of this will have to be handed over to others!"
"So I deserve to take the blame for you? If you hadn't been so greedy, would any of this have happened? You don't take responsibility yourself, but you want others to bear the consequences for you. How could you even think of that!"
Mr. Zhang came from a poor background and had little education, so he naturally didn't think about those things before doing anything.
He felt that doing so would protect him, so he did it.
I thought everything was foolproof, but who knew that Wang Ye and his team would find out so quickly.
What terrible luck!
Wang Ye was so angry that he paced back and forth. If it weren't illegal to hit someone, he would have loved to punch him a few times!
After Mr. Zhang finished speaking, he looked at Bai Yi and said, "I've made everything clear to you. I'll also explain to the parents of those children that this matter has nothing to do with you. You have to keep your promise to me and not report me!"
Wang Ye said disdainfully, "You'd do something as unscrupulous as using gutter oil. You'll stop at nothing for money. Aren't you afraid of retribution?"
“I go to Puji Temple to burn incense and pray to Buddha every month. God will protect me. Besides, you didn’t see me use gutter oil! Those kids may have gotten food poisoning, but it’s possible they just have a bad stomach. Even if that’s not the case, who can guarantee it’s definitely because of gutter oil!”
He had his own unique way of making excuses, leaving Wang Ye speechless.
Bai Yi asked a crucial question, "Boss Zhang, you still haven't told us who that woman is?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Ye also looked at Boss Zhang.
Mr. Zhang said, "She was wearing a mask and sunglasses at the time, so I didn't recognize her. I just knew she had long hair and was quite tall."
Mr. Zhang was quite curious at the time, wondering why this person would suddenly want to help him, and wondered if he might be Wang Ye's enemy.
Bai Yi listened and seemed to be deep in thought.
After leaving the skewers restaurant, the matter was temporarily resolved.
Mr. Zhang promised to contact the parents of those children, persuade them to drop their appeal, and clarify that their children did not get sick from eating at Wang Ye's hot pot restaurant.
However, Wang Ye did not trust this Boss Zhang at all.
He asked Bai Yi, "Do you think he can keep his word? If he were really that kind, he wouldn't have done what he did in the first place."
Bai Yi said, "He did this because he was jealous that your business was better than his, and he was also afraid of getting into a lawsuit. Now that the matter can be resolved, he doesn't have to take any responsibility, so of course he's willing to do it."
“I’ve seen the situation of those kids, and they’re basically fine now. As long as Mr. Zhang pays them the money they need, they definitely won’t cause any more trouble.”
"What about his shop? Are we just going to ignore it? He really is using gutter oil!"
"You don't need to worry about that. Hot pot restaurants have such a large flow of people every day. If someone has a problem this time, it will happen again next time. He was able to get away with it this time, but he might not be able to next time."
"Besides, we're in the spotlight right now, so we can't do this. It might just get us into trouble again."
Bai Yi's words made a lot of sense, but Wang Ye just couldn't swallow his anger.
The incident originated in his shop, but he framed someone else. If they want to clarify the situation, they need him to come forward.
What's even more infuriating is that even if they knew he was the one who did it all, they still had to consider the online sentiment and couldn't do anything about it.
Wang Ye felt that nothing could be more outrageous than this.
Bai Yi knew Wang Ye was angry, so she comforted him, "Don't worry, even if we don't report him, his shop will eventually go out of business."
Wang Ye thought about it and realized that his shop couldn't compare to his own in terms of hygiene, environment, or taste.
All he needs to do is manage his shop well.
Wang Ye had always harbored extreme distrust towards Boss Zhang, believing that he was simply trying to appease them.
However, two days later, the online comments about Wang Ye's hotpot restaurant gradually changed.
Worried that Wang Ye and Bai Yi would actually report him, Mr. Zhang spent a lot of money to persuade the child's parents to come forward and clarify the matter.
This incident has been going on for a long time, with twists and turns, and netizens' opinions changing every day.
Everyone has come to regard this as a farce.
By the time someone finally came out to clarify, the hype had died down.
This is undoubtedly a good thing for Wang Ye.
His shop finally reopened, and all the employees returned to work.
After listening to Bai Yi's words, Wang Ye took advantage of this incident to launch another round of activities.
The promotion was so affordable that it even resulted in a loss, but the purpose of the promotion was to maintain customer traffic, so the temporary loss was not a big deal.
Fortunately, Wang Ye's hot pot restaurant had built a good reputation since it opened, and although it experienced a storm, the business did not seem to be affected at all.
Qiao Xing called to congratulate Wang Ye, and Wang Ye was overjoyed.
However, despite his joy, he didn't forget to thank Qiao Xing, "I have to thank you and Qin Ce for your help this time. If it weren't for Qin Ce's help, we might not have been able to get the results."
Qiao Xing said, "No matter how you look at it, Bai Yi deserves the most credit for this. You should thank Bai Yi properly, shouldn't you?"
Wang Ye's gaze involuntarily fell upon Bai Yi, who was standing at the bar, talking to the waiter with his head down.
Qiao Xing is right. The person we are most grateful to for this whole ordeal is Bai Yi.
