Chapter 117 Mer Group
The next morning, it was time to meet with the Gourmet Association.
Ye Jiaojiao came to the headquarters building of the Food Association.
Kang Ha, who was lucky enough to be brought by his father to meet his idol, was already waiting at the door.
As soon as Ye Jiaojiao appeared, he recognized his idol at a glance.
Although Ye Jiaojiao covered her face in the live broadcast room, her temperament and eyes remained unchanged.
Jiang He instantly transformed into a little fanboy mode, hesitated for two seconds, and then stepped forward with a red face: "Excuse me, are you Miss Ye Jiaojiao? I am Jiang He."
Jiang He's image in the live broadcast room is his true image.
Ye Jiaojiao has watched his live broadcast.
Naturally, he recognized the person.
"Hello." Ye Jiaojiao nodded politely to the other party. When Jiang He saw Ye Jiaojiao smiling at him, his handsome face immediately looked a little silly. He led Ye Jiaojiao into the building with excitement on his face.
Only the top management of the Food Association knew that Ye Jiaojiao came to discuss cooperation.
Now, the members of the Gourmet Association were a little curious when they saw their president's youngest son leading a girl into the elevator and going to the upper floors.
In a short while, rumors spread that a great female chef might have joined their association.
After all, he was received personally by the president's youngest son.
In the conference room, Jiang Wei and a group of veterans of the Food Association were all present.
Everyone subconsciously looked towards the door after hearing the sound of the door opening.
As soon as Ye Jiaojiao came in, she was met with a pair of wise eyes.
It’s like looking at one of your own younger generations.
With encouragement and appreciation, and a touch of kindness.
"Hello everyone, I am Ye Jiaojiao." Ye Jiaojiao was raised by her master and several senior brothers, and she is particularly grateful for the kindness of others.
Seeing that most of the members present were middle-aged people, and there were also a few gray-haired old men, they subconsciously acted like juniors, shy and well-behaved.
In the Gourmet Association, the members who already had a good impression of Ye Jiaojiao felt that this child was a rare treasure and the smiles in their eyes became even wider.
"Hello, Miss Ye, I'm Jiang Wei, the president of the Food Association." Jiang Wei, who was sitting at the head of the conference table, took the initiative to come over. After introducing himself, he introduced the core members of the Food Association to Ye Jiaojiao one by one.
After roughly recognizing everyone, Jiang Wei suddenly sighed, with a look of deep apology on his face, and said sincerely, "Ms. Ye, I'm very sorry that our Gourmet Association didn't stand up and speak for you the first time yesterday."
The Jiang family father and son as well as some senior members of the Food Association guessed that the forum incident that happened yesterday was caused by someone deliberately slandering Ye Jiaojiao, but they were powerless and could only worry. In the end, if Si Ming had not appeared, they didn't know what the outcome would have been.
Now, seeing Ye Jiaojiao's good attitude, Jiang Wei felt ashamed.
When Ye Jiaojiao heard what Jiang Wei said, she was stunned for a moment.
I felt a little surprised.
"No! President Jiang, don't say that." Ye Jiaojiao is a straightforward person with no ulterior motives. She also won't assume malice towards others. She doesn't think the Food Association has any obligation to help her.
Besides, it’s no longer necessary after Si Ming and the Research Institute are gone, right?
Regarding the battle of Nine-Turn Large Intestine, she can be considered to have won a great victory.
The popularity of the live broadcast room has reached a new level!
"Let's get down to business!" Ye Jiaojiao didn't want to see these food-loving seniors looking uncomfortable, so she quickly changed the subject: "Before, you contacted me, saying that someone wanted to harm me. What exactly happened?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the conference room immediately fell silent.
Jiang Wei and other association members all looked gloomy.
Look serious.
Jiang Wei: "Ms. Ye, have you heard of Mer Group?"
Ye Jiaojiao: "No." Forgive her for being an interstellar bumpkin.
Jiang Wei: "Mer Group is currently the largest enterprise in the Interstellar Alliance. Its business not only covers the entire empire, but even the Federation has tacitly approved of Mer Group's existence. It even has influence in both the military and political factions."
Jiang Wei briefly described the power of the Mer Group in one sentence.
Just one sentence can make people feel that this is a behemoth.
It is not something that ordinary people or ordinary forces can match.
Ye Jiaojiao blinked and didn't say anything, waiting for Jiang Wei to continue.
Jiang Wei: "Mer Group has been in existence for hundreds of years, even longer than the establishment of the Empire's Sixth Army. Initially, Mer Group researched projects that could replace food and quickly replenish the energy needed by the human body.
Later, the interstellar war broke out. By the time the Mer Group successfully developed the nutrient solution, years of war had caused people to become increasingly dependent on the nutrient solution.
Gradually, the Mer Group became indispensable.
If it were just that, it would be fine. The Mer Group has made great contributions to the interstellar world and the entire era. But later, the Mer Group launched a number of special potions, including genetic potions to stimulate and activate superpowers, and the advanced energy liquid and advanced nutrient solution needed by space warriors.
These special medicines caused a huge sensation upon their release, with demand exceeding supply. However, this also brought significant drawbacks."
After the genetic medicine came out, some wealthy people who could not possess superpowers but longed to have them tried every possible way to find ways to obtain the genetic medicine, even at the cost of violating the laws of the empire. For a certain period of time, this formed a huge dark side.
Moreover, genetic drugs are not perfect.
Not only is the success rate only 50%, but people who take genetic drugs may also suffer from genetic collapse syndrome decades later, ending up with mental breakdown and lifelong paralysis.
As for the advanced energy liquid and advanced nutrient solution suitable for Space Marines, these two products allowed the Mer Group to successfully suppress other companies.
Over the past few hundred years, the Mer Group has directly monopolized these necessities.
He even used potions to build up considerable power in some legions.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Mer Group may be more powerful and richer than the imperial royal family.
If you want to go out on your own one day, you may succeed.
Jiang Wei doesn't care about politics or peace, and is devoted to food culture.
After Ye Jiaojiao appeared, Jiang Wei subconsciously thought of Mer Group.
I began to worry about Ye Jiaojiao's situation.
So I specially drew people's attention to it.
Sure enough, he still found some clues.
The top management of Mer Group probably already knew about Ye Jiaojiao and her free publication of rare recipes, but they just didn't take it seriously.
Therefore, no extreme measures were taken against Ye Jiaojiao.
At most, he just hired some internet trolls to try to slander Ye Jiaojiao.
Jiang Wei thought so, not knowing that someone had already given the pirates an order to capture Ye Jiaojiao.
As for Ye Jiaojiao, she felt that she had almost found the culprit.
The Mer Group was most likely the one that paid the Rose Pirates to capture her.
Ye Jiaojiao: "President Jiang, since the Mer Group can't accommodate natural foods, will there be any impact if we open a store together?"
Jiang Wei: "Ms. Ye, are you still willing to cooperate with the association to open a store?"
Ye Jiaojiao: "Why not?"
Ye Jiaojiao not only wants to open a store with the Food Association, but also wants to open stores all over the galaxy!
Slippery and sticky nutrient solution vs. delicious food with sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty flavors, what’s there to be afraid of?
