Chapter 232 The Collapse of Baicaotang!
As soon as she finished speaking, the audience erupted in chaos.
Reporters frantically pressed their shutters, frantically recording this shocking scandal in their notebooks.
Gu Nanxing paused, and waited for the commotion below the stage to subside before unleashing his most lethal blow.
"What's particularly ironic is that Liu Jianjun, the factory director of Baicaotang, took the genuine ointment produced by our factory to the relevant department the day before yesterday to report us for producing counterfeit drugs."
She surveyed the entire room, speaking slowly and deliberately.
"I also brought the test report for this ointment. The report shows that the ointment is highly effective and its quality far exceeds national standards. This can be said to be the most authoritative and impartial endorsement of the product quality of our military medical equipment factory by Director Liu himself."
"We would like to express our sincerest gratitude to Director Liu for his selfless dedication!"
Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent for a moment, then erupted in thunderous applause and the reporters' barely suppressed gasps of amazement.
A plot twist!
This is an amazing reversal!
The factory manager of Baicaotang actually took genuine medicine to report the other party for selling counterfeit medicine. Isn't that utterly ridiculous?
Not only did he fail to drag the other party down, but he also personally elevated the other party to a pedestal, making them the best living advertisement for the military medical equipment factory!
The news was transmitted back to Baicaotang immediately via radio.
When Liu Jianjun heard Gu Nanxing's clear yet cold voice on the radio, he finally understood.
He was completely fooled by that blonde girl who looked to be only in her early twenties from beginning to end!
From the moment he provided the fake medicine, he had already fallen into the trap that the other party had carefully set.
The other party turned the tables on him, using his fake medicinal materials as a front while producing genuine medicine.
And he, like a clown, took the knife handed to him and stabbed himself in the back.
"puff--"
A mouthful of blood spurted from Liu Jianjun's mouth, his eyes rolled back, and he completely lost consciousness.
Before the factory's medical staff could arrive, two jeeps with the words "Health Supervision" and "Industry and Commerce" printed on them roared to a stop at the entrance of Baicaotang.
"Seal off all warehouses and accounting offices; no one is allowed to enter or leave!"
"All those responsible have been taken away to assist in the investigation!"
Under the cold command, a storm sweeping through century-old brands officially began.
This incident completely destroyed Baicaotang's reputation. All orders were cancelled within a single day, and supply and marketing cooperatives across the country demanded refunds. This once glorious century-old brand was suddenly on the verge of collapse.
Factory director Liu Jianjun and a number of related personnel were directly dismissed and investigated, and they will face the most severe legal sanctions.
In stark contrast is the military medical and equipment factory on Hainan Island.
Because of this incident, the reputation of the pharmaceutical and medical device factory for "high-quality products" and "honest business practices" was thoroughly established. Coupled with the halo of being a "victim," orders from the inland areas poured in like snowflakes, and the factory's phone was almost overwhelmed with calls.
Gu Nanxing became famous overnight because of this incident.
In the business and pharmaceutical circles of Hainan Island, almost everyone knows about "Director Gu," the young, decisive, and ruthless head of the military-owned pharmaceutical and equipment factory.
One afternoon after the turmoil subsided, the Gu family courtyard was unusually quiet.
Su Yue was holding her son An'an, enjoying the afternoon sun.
Chu Jingya came over and stood in front of her for a long time, her pretty face flushed red, her fingers nervously twisting the hem of her clothes.
Su Yue found her expression amusing: "What's wrong? Just say what's on your mind."
Chu Jingya hesitated for a long time, but finally seemed to have made up her mind. She raised her head and spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz.
"Cousin... could you... do me a favor..."
"Um?"
"It's...it's about Gu Beixiao..."
......
Chu Jingya had been sitting in the living room of the Gu family's courtyard for almost ten minutes.
The tea in front of her went from scalding hot to lukewarm, but she didn't drink a drop.
Her hands nervously twisted the hem of her dress, which was brand new and pink, and the fabric was now wrinkled from her caresses.
Su Yue held her son An'an, who had just woken up, in her arms. The little guy was staring at his uneasy aunt with eyes that looked just like Gu Beichen's.
"Speak your mind." Su Yue gently patted An An's back, looking at Chu Jingya with amusement. "If you poke another hole in this sofa cushion, Gu Beixiao will start nagging again."
"I..." Chu Jingya's face flushed red instantly, burning from her cheeks all the way to the base of her neck.
She raised her head, as if summoning all her courage, her voice barely audible.
"Cousin... I... I just wanted to ask... about... Gu Beixiao..."
She stammered, and after speaking for a long time, she still couldn't get the subject, verb, and object right.
Chen Yaru, who was standing to the side, couldn't bear to watch any longer. She put down her knitting and sighed helplessly.
"Yueyue, stop teasing her. This child is here because of that brat Bei Xiao."
Chen Yaru walked to her daughter's side, patted her hand tenderly, and turned to Su Yue to say something.
"That kid is all bark and no bite. At the wedding last time, Jingya was being pestered by that Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang. Look at how possessive he was, as if he was afraid that if he was a moment too late, Jingya would be snatched away. But afterwards, he didn't say a single kind word and even made Jingya very angry."
"And last time, Jingya's shoelace came undone, and he squatted down to tie it without saying a word. His ears were so red they could bleed, but he still complained that Jingya was clumsy."
The more Chen Yaru talked about it, the funnier it became, and the more she felt that the two children were destined to be together.
"It's just a thin veil between them, and neither of them is willing to be the first to break through it. Jingya is shy, and Beixiao is a proud and arrogant boy. I think if this continues, it'll drive everyone crazy. Someone needs to give him a push."
As Su Yue listened, An'an in her arms yawned slightly, and she gently placed the child back into the cradle.
She sat down next to Chu Jingya, a sly glint in her clear eyes.
"Auntie is right."
She looked at Chu Jingya's face, which was almost buried in her chest, and slowly opened her mouth.
"Gu Beixiao is the typical spoiled young master of the capital. He was pampered since childhood and used to everything going smoothly. The more you show that you care about him and follow him around, the more he takes it for granted and will even avoid you without fear."
Chu Jingya suddenly raised her head, her eyes full of agreement.
That's exactly how it is! If she's even slightly enthusiastic towards him, he'll act all disgusted, like he's saying, "Don't touch me."
If she ignores him for a few days, he always manages to "bump into" her and say a few indifferent words to annoy her.
She's completely stubborn and won't listen to reason!
