Chapter 695: Dancing
"First of all, Xiao's isn't trying to brush this matter off as they're saying online. After this incident, Xiao's headquarters immediately sent a team to Haoyu to investigate. They confirmed that all the materials Haoyu used were legitimate and qualified. This is a copy of the purchase order. I'll have the staff take a photo of it later and post it online, and I'll also submit it to the court."
"Secondly, Xiao recently hired a professional team to conduct sampling and investigation in the community mentioned online, but they encountered collective opposition from the residents. We will continue to insist on this matter. If the residents still oppose it and use the third-party test report to sue Haoyu, we will not acknowledge the authenticity of the report and refuse compensation!"
"Finally, if the test results show that the building materials are indeed substandard, Xiao will bear all consequences and provide due compensation to all victims. However, we will not accept any slander, nor will we allow those who distort the facts to blend in with the public and spread rumors. As for the rumormongers, even if they flee to the ends of the earth, we will call the police to bring them back and make them repent in prison!"
After saying these words, Xun Zi looked at the reporters in the audience and said calmly, "Now, everyone may ask questions."
"Mrs. Xiao, I heard that many partners have recently cancelled their cooperation with the Xiao Group. Is this related to Haoyu's use of substandard building materials?"
"Mrs. Xiao, you sound so nice on the surface, but you don't know whether Haoyu used substandard materials, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have asked for someone to be sent over for testing. Ultimately, this is Xiao's failure to supervise properly, or perhaps Xiao is the mastermind behind this, right?"
"Mrs. Xiao, I heard that Mr. Xiao suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and is still in a coma. Netizens say that this is retribution for Mr. Xiao's bad deeds. What do you think about this?"
Xun Zi's icy gaze instantly fell on the reporter who had asked the last question. Her voice was filled with sternness. "Let me answer your question now. First of all, as a reporter for New Town TV, one of the best in Beijing, your question is not only unprofessional but also foolish."
The reporter's face flushed red, obviously he was angry.
"Mrs. Xiao, I'm just relaying what the netizens said. Why are you getting so angry? It only makes your Xiao family look like a nobody."
The sarcasm in his words was not concealed at all, and the entire press conference fell silent in an instant, with everyone looking at him and Xun Zi.
Xun Zi sneered, "Pattern? You said you were just netizens. Netizens can easily draw conclusions based on one-sided information. As a journalist, you also took others' words out of context. Then everyone doesn't need to pursue the truth. They should just publish the so-called truth as they see it."
The reporter wanted to speak, but Xun Zi said coldly, "Xiao will no longer accept interviews from New Town TV reporters. Please leave immediately."
Almost the moment Xun Zi finished speaking, a security guard directly "invited" the reporter to leave.
Xun Zi smiled faintly and said calmly, "Okay, I'll continue answering other reporters' questions. Every company has its own considerations every year, and Xiao Corporation also changes partners from time to time. So there's nothing much to say about this matter, and it has nothing to do with Haoyu. Haoyu is just a branch company and has no ability to influence the decision-making of Xiao Corporation and other partners."
"Also, you should have seen the purchase order just now. I believe Haoyu's employees would not use substandard construction materials. We sent someone to inspect them just to avoid having to watch the other side's lawyer question us with a test report whose authenticity we cannot determine during the trial."
"Besides, I also said that if there's even a one in ten thousand chance that I trusted the wrong person, I'm willing to bear the consequences and compensate them accordingly. I won't say a single word more!"
…
Everything went smoothly afterwards. After the press conference, Xiao Muzhen drove Xun Zi back to Xiao's.
"Boss Xun, I just looked at the comments online. This press conference was even better than expected. Some netizens believe in the Xiao family, and the comments are no longer one-sided."
Xun Zi rubbed his brows tiredly and said in a deep voice, "The next period of time is the most important. We need to find a new partner and let our people enter the community to conduct testing. Only when the test results come out can we stabilize the stock price."
Xiao Muzhen pursed her lips and said, "Actually... I've always been worried. If Haoyu's people really use illegal materials, then Xiao's situation will definitely be even more difficult than it is now."
Xiao's market value has evaporated by nearly 20 billion yuan so far. If it continues like this, it will soon face bankruptcy.
Xun Zi was silent for a few seconds, then sighed and said, "This is the worst possible outcome."
If Haoyu really used illegal building materials, Xiao’s stock price would definitely fall even more.
As soon as the two arrived downstairs of the company, Xun Zi received a call from Secretary Zhou.
"Ma'am, I found a homeowner who agreed to let us go to his house for testing, but he said we have to keep it a secret from the other owners."
"Okay, I'll take care of this!"
After hanging up the phone, Xun Zi's expression became a little excited. She looked at Xiao Muzhen and said, "Someone agreed to let Xiao's team go to his home for testing!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Muzhen's tense expression finally relaxed a little. After all, there was finally a breakthrough.
"Hopefully the test results will be good."
"I hope so!"
Under Xun Zi's arrangement, the inspection team went to the owner's home quietly.
The test results will take at least one day to come out, so Xun Zi asked the testing team to tell her the results.
Because of this good news, Xun Zi had a smile on her face during lunch.
"Zhenzhen, there's a collaboration to discuss this afternoon. Get ready and come with me."
Xiao Muzhen nodded, "Okay."
When they arrived at the teahouse, Xiao Muzhen saw that the person negotiating business with Xun Zi was Qi Yunzhe. A flash of surprise appeared in his eyes. He didn't expect that the Qi family had developed so well and even entered the capital.
When he saw Xiao Muzhen, the smile on Qi Yunzhe's face deepened a little.
"Hello, Miss Xiao, long time no see."
Looking down at the hand Qi Yunzhe offered, Xiao Muzhen reached out and shook his hand gently, "Long time no see."
Xun Zi knew that the Qi family used to live in Rongcheng, so it was not surprising that she knew Xiao Muzhen.
"Mr. Qi, please sit down first. Let's talk about cooperation."
"good."
In the subsequent negotiations, Xun Zi had to put in almost no effort, and Qi Yunzhe offered very large concessions in interests, so large that the Qi family had almost no profit from this cooperation.
At the end of the conversation, Xun Zi couldn't help but frown. After all, no one would do such a thing without profit, which made her wonder if there was something fishy about it.
Seeing her hesitation, Qi Yunzhe smiled and said, "Boss Xun, don't worry. I don't plan to plot against the Xiao family."
