Qiao Zhixia had just obtained the couple's information and had not yet figured out how to seek justice for Sister Juan, but that woman attacked Qiao Zhixia first.

That day, she received a call from the financial department of the branch. The government tax department asked them to cooperate with the tax investigation, saying that they suspected that the company was suspected of tax evasion.

In addition, something unexpected happened in her restaurant. Several diners vomited and had diarrhea after having breakfast. Suspecting that their ingredients were not fresh, they forced their way into the kitchen to check.

During the investigation, four or five mice were taken out from the pot of boiling soup, which had been skinned but not gutted.

Many diners vomited on the spot, and some were even more angry: "No wonder I always think the food in this restaurant is so delicious, it turns out they use rat meat to make it more delicious!"

"Bah! Not only do they sell rat meat, but they don't even remove the internal organs. This is such a shameless and unscrupulous shop! The boss should be arrested and shot!"

A group of diners gathered outside the restaurant to make trouble.

The regulatory authorities promptly ordered the restaurant to be temporarily closed for investigation.

These troubles came at too opportune a time. Qiao Zhixia knew that someone was deliberately setting a trap for her, and it was not difficult to guess who that person was.

Apparently, Zhang Yanmei investigated her when she returned, but unfortunately, she was impatient to take action without thoroughly investigating her.

It is said that the people should not fight against the officials, but they were too naive to think that they could crush her to death with just a few tricks.

Qiao Zhixia directly gave the restaurant employees a week off, which was just the right opportunity for 껩 to have a good rest.

If they want to check the company's taxes, they can. She has always been honest and upright, and has never evaded taxes. Every account is clear and transparent, so she is not afraid of their inspection.

As for the few customers who claimed food poisoning and demanded compensation, she directly called the police to handle it. As long as they had evidence to prove that the problem was with the food in her restaurant, she would compensate them, otherwise she would hold them accountable.

A few days after the restaurant closed down, the person in charge of the unit where she signed the lease contract contacted the person in charge of the restaurant and asked to terminate the contract. They wanted to take back the house.

Qiao Zhixia was so angry that she laughed. They wanted to take back the contract before it expired? What the hell were they thinking?

If she guessed correctly, someone saw that her business was so good and wanted to take over, right?

Just as Qiao Zhixia expected, after Zhang Yanmei learned about the income of Qiao Zhixia's restaurant during the tax check, she wanted to grab her cake and eat it.

She wanted to squeeze Qiao Zhixia out and take over herself.

As for Qiao Zhixia's company's tax issues, she originally firmly believed that no businessman was clean, but she didn't expect that after checking again and again, she couldn't find any suspicion of tax evasion in Jingyang.

"This Jingyang Group has some background. Just give them a warning and don't make things too ugly." Zhang Yanmei accepted the reminder from her six-year-old father.

But she was not happy, she couldn't swallow that breath.

"Since we didn't find any problems this time, we'll check again in a few days. We'll have to find out until their company can't continue to operate and they kneel down and kowtow to me!"

Sister Juan learned that Qiao Zhixia was currently being targeted by Zhang Yanmei, and she felt so guilty that she brought gifts to her home to apologize.

Qiao Zhixia's life was not affected too much. She still focused on her studies, and her career was temporarily managed by a dedicated person.

The more difficult problem at present is the food poisoning incident, which has caused a lot of trouble and has even been reported in the newspapers. This incident has indeed had a significant negative impact on Jingyang's brand.

Sister Juan learned about these troubles from the newspaper. Because of her affairs, Qiao Zhixia was targeted. She felt very sorry and kept saying sorry.

Qiao Zhixia comforted her a few words, and then went straight to the point: "Do you mind if I make your story public?"

"As long as you get justice, I don't mind. As long as you have a way, just do it!" Sister Juan said firmly.

"Okay, I understand. Don't worry! It will be over soon..."

After Sister Juan left, Assistant 뀗朱 came forward and suggested: "Boss, should we call Mr. Qin and ask him to help deal with it?"

Qiao Zhixia didn't raise her head: "No, if I can't even handle such a small matter, what's the point of living here?"

Qin Yunlang didn't care about her own business. If she couldn't handle such a small matter, then there was no need for her to set up the stall so well.

Although she did not take the initiative to mention her current troubles to Qin Yunlang, it did not mean that Qin Yunlang knew nothing about it.

When the two talked on the phone at night, Qin Yunlang asked her more than once if there was anything she needed his help with, but she refused every time.

Qin Yunlang knew that his wife had a strong personality, so he stopped forcing her, but still asked people to quietly pay attention to her situation, just to help her when needed.

She went to the hospital in person and met with the group of people who were still in hospital. In order to get benefits from Qiao Zhixia, they were determined to stay in the hospital.

"If you don't pay the compensation we demand, don't even think about reopening your store."

"I heard that you didn't make any money in a day. Are you worried?"

"Hurry up and give me the money! Five thousand each, not a cent." A group of old men and women were trying to cheat money, one after another.

Qiao Zhixia was not in a hurry. She waited for them to finish speaking, and then she spoke slowly: "Are you sure that you got poisoned after eating the food in our restaurant?"

"Is that true?"

"Do you have any evidence?"

"So many of us have had accidents after eating at your restaurant. Is that true? What other evidence do you need?"

"Whether it's true or not, let's go to court and tell it! You have no evidence to prove that there is something wrong with our food, but I can prove that it was a self-directed frame-up by you!"

"You...what nonsense are you talking about?"

Perhaps out of guilt, some of the impatient people changed their expressions. Qiao Zhixia didn't say anything more and just said coldly:

"If you tell the truth today and tell me who instructed you to do this, and bravely point out who it was, I will not only not care, but also give you money. If you still choose to be stubborn, then we will see you in court! Before the court's ruling, Jingyang will not pay a penny for your medical expenses."

After Qiao Zhixia finished speaking, she turned around and left with her assistant and bodyguard.

The people in the ward looked at her leaving and looked at each other. Some people murmured in a guilty manner: "What if she really wants to sue? She can't really have evidence, right?"

A self-righteous man wearing glasses said disdainfully: "How can it be? She is cheating us, otherwise she would not take the initiative to offer us money?"

"Yes! Don't be fooled by her! This woman is very rich. Don't even think about using a small amount of money to get rid of us..."

Qiao Zhixia was not thrown off by Zhang Yanmei's self-righteous suppression. She still lived her life in an orderly manner. When she had free time, she would go upstairs to ask Sister Juan to teach her how to play mahjong.

As public opinion against Jingyang intensified, Jingyang's product sales in Guangzhou dropped by 2% that month.

When the tax department came to her house for the third time in a month to check her accounts, Qiao Zhixia made an appointment with Zhang Yanmei to have a talk...

The two met in a private room of a western restaurant reserved by Zhang Yanmei. As soon as Qiao Zhixia entered the room, she saw Zhang Yanmei's smug face.

"Hmph, do you know what happens if you offend me? You can't handle it now? You think you can ignore me just because you have a little business and a few bucks. This is a lesson for you!"

Qiao Zhixia put down her phone and sat down on the sofa opposite her. She was not angry, but asked calmly: "Your father is the district party secretary and your husband is the deputy director of the tax bureau. Did they abuse their power like this? Aren't you afraid that it will get out and ruin their future?"

"Oh, now that you've checked and know who I am, you should know what the consequences will be if you offend me. I can make sure you can't get by in Guangzhou with just a flick of my finger!" Zhang Yanmei stirred her coffee with a squinting look, unable to suppress the smugness on the corners of her mouth.

Qiao Zhixia looked at her smug look, and revealed an expression of indignation and grievance: "I am a legitimate businessman, and all my business activities are legal and compliant. Why do you want me to be unable to survive in Guangzhou?"

Zhang Yanmei raised her hand and blew away the non-existent dust on her fingertips, snorting softly: "On what basis? Don't you know very well? Of course it's because I have someone behind me. If I want to, I can kill an upstart like you with just the movement of my fingers."

"So you deliberately let your husband use his position to repeatedly check my company's taxes, and hired someone to throw a rat into the soup pot in my kitchen to discredit my restaurant, just to intimidate me?"

"Who told you, a bitch, to be so blind as to provoke me?"
