Chapter 154 I'll bankrupt my own factory first
A few minutes later, a thin, middle-aged man with a pockmarked face was brought before Su Yue.
He is Wang Mazi from the purchasing department.
Upon seeing this scene, especially under Su Yue's all-seeing gaze, Wang Mazi's legs began to tremble, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.
"Factory...factory manager, you wanted to see me?"
Su Yue didn't speak, but just looked at him quietly with cold eyes.
The look in her eyes made Wang Mazi feel uneasy, and he avoided her gaze, not daring to meet her eyes at all.
"Wang Mazi," Su Yue finally spoke, her voice soft but clear, "you were the one who handled the procurement of this batch of problematic medical tape?"
“It’s…it’s me…” Wang Mazi stammered.
"Is the supplier newly changed?"
"It's...it's a new contact, and the price...the price is cheap."
How much cheaper?
"Cheaper... by 30%."
Su Yue stared at him and slowly asked, "With such a large price difference, didn't you ever suspect that the tape was of poor quality?"
"I...I didn't know, factory manager!" Wang Mazi immediately cried out in protest. "I was just a gofer. They gave me a sample, and it looked pretty much the same as the original, so...I just wanted to save the factory some money...I really didn't know this tape was toxic!"
He spoke with tears streaming down his face, as if he were the one who had been wronged the most.
Chief Engineer He was so angry that he glared at him and pointed at him, yelling, "You're talking nonsense! Saving money? I bet you've been taking kickbacks!"
"I didn't! I really didn't!" Wang Mazi knelt on the ground, swearing an oath.
Seeing his clumsy performance, Su Yue sneered.
She turned around and said to Sister-in-law Sun, "Go and get a roll of the old supplier's adhesive tape sample. Also, get two clean glasses and fill them with water."
Soon, everything was ready.
Amidst everyone's puzzled gazes, Su Yue, in front of Wang Mazi, cut pieces of the same size from both the new and old adhesive tapes.
Then, she soaked the two pieces of tape in two glasses filled with water.
"Wang Mazi, didn't you say you didn't know?"
Su Yue's voice was calm.
"Then open your eyes wide and watch carefully."
Time passed by, second by second.
Everyone held their breath, staring intently at the two glasses.
One minute.
Two minutes.
Three minutes.
The water in the cup soaking in the old tape was still clear and transparent.
However, the water in the cup containing the new adhesive tape began to become cloudy and turned a pale yellow!
A pungent chemical smell then filled the air!
"My God! This water!" Sister Li exclaimed, covering her nose. "Why has the water changed color? And it smells so bad!"
The scene erupted in uproar!
The evidence is irrefutable!
Wang Mazi's face turned deathly pale instantly, devoid of any color.
He collapsed to the ground, trembling violently, muttering to himself, "No...it can't be...how could this happen..."
Su Yue slowly walked up to him and looked down at him.
"Now, what else do you have to say?"
Wang Mazi's psychological defenses completely collapsed at this moment.
He burst into tears, hugging Su Yue's legs, sobs streaming down his face.
"Factory manager, I was wrong! I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything!"
“A guy called ‘Brother Zhang’ found me! He gave me 500 yuan! He asked me to replace the good tape in the factory with this cheap stuff he gave me! He said this tape was just a little worse quality, but it definitely wouldn’t kill anyone, and I was so foolish to agree! I really didn’t know it would be this serious, factory manager!”
Brother Zhang?
Su Yue's eyes turned cold.
Just then, Gu Beichen strode in, his expression equally serious.
He walked straight to Su Yue's side and whispered, "I found out. The person Bei Xiao followed made contact with someone who called himself 'Brother Zhang.' And this Brother Zhang was Zhang Sisi's driver when she was in Beijing. He was recently transferred to Hainan Island with her."
The air in the entire warehouse seemed to freeze at that moment.
Zhang Sisi.
It's her again.
Su Yue's gaze fell on the glass of foul-smelling yellow poisonous water, her face expressionless.
She wanted to destroy my factory.
very good.
Su Yue's voice was calm and without any ripples.
"Then I'll make her cough it all up, with interest!"
The air in the warehouse seemed to freeze.
All eyes were on Su Yue, waiting for her to make a decision.
Qian Guodong fell from power, and now Zhang Sisi has emerged.
One wave subsides only for another to rise, it's like there's no time to breathe.
Seeing this situation, Officer Wang from the sanitation team also felt it was a difficult situation. He cleared his throat and said to Su Yue.
"Director Su, look, now we have all the witnesses, this is a malicious frame-up. But the reconnaissance battalion still has more than a dozen soldiers lying in bed, it's a very bad influence. I suggest..."
"I see."
Su Yue interrupted him, her gaze calmly sweeping across the entire room.
She turned to Chief Engineer He, her voice not loud, but clearly reaching everyone's ears.
"Mr. He, could you please draft a notice and post it immediately?"
"announcement?"
Chief Engineer He was taken aback.
"Yes." Su Yue nodded. "Just say that due to a major technical error in our factory, resulting in serious safety hazards in our products, the Qiongzhou Military Medical Supplies Factory will be shut down for rectification, effective immediately!"
What?
These words caused an uproar in the audience!
Sister-in-law Li was the first to panic.
"Factory manager! What are you doing! It's clearly someone else who harmed us, why should we admit it ourselves!"
"Yes, factory manager! We've fallen right into that wicked woman's trap!"
"We can't admit it!"
The military wives were all very excited, and their faces turned red with anxiety.
Even Gu Beichen frowned, looking at Su Yue with a puzzled expression.
Su Yue raised her hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.
Her gaze remained calm, even carrying a hint of coldness.
"It's not just about suspending operations for rectification."
She paused, then added, word by word.
"The announcement should also state that we are willing to buy back all the 'dampness-removing and blood-activating patches' that have already been sold at twice the market price! Regardless of whether there is a problem or not, as long as they are brought back, we will pay you!"
This is insane!
Even Chief Engineer He wondered if Su Yue had lost her mind from anger.
This isn't just throwing mud at yourself; it's practically cutting off your own flesh to feed your enemy!
"Sister-in-law..." Gu Beixiao couldn't help but speak up.
Su Yue merely glanced at Gu Beichen, giving him a reassuring look.
Gu Beichen understood.
He immediately addressed everyone in a deep voice: "Listen to the factory manager!"
With Gu Beichen's support, the military wives, though full of confusion, could only keep quiet.
Soon, a strongly worded announcement that took full responsibility was posted in the most prominent positions at the entrance of the pharmaceutical factory and on the military region's bulletin board.
The entire military compound was in an uproar.
Rumors that the Hainan Island military medical equipment factory was going to go bankrupt spread like wildfire, reaching every corner of the country.
Happy National Day, my darlings!
