He had just hung up the phone when his cell phone, which was on the table, suddenly rang again at an inopportune moment.
Chen Ze glanced at the screen subconsciously and saw that the contact name was "Wang Sicheng". He frowned slightly, but still quickly reached out and pressed the answer button.
"Hey, Cheng-ge, what's up?" Chen Ze's voice sounded tired and helpless.
Wang Sicheng's slightly reproachful voice immediately came from the other end of the phone: "Aze, what's wrong with you! Didn't I tell you countless times last time to keep a close eye on Xiyue Beauty Cream? Why didn't you listen?"
Chen Ze shook his head with a wry smile and explained, "Brother Cheng, I had no choice. I just returned from abroad not long ago, and I have too many companies to manage. It's impossible for me to keep an eye on Xiyue Beauty Cream all the time. Besides, I had already installed more than thirty cameras in the production workshop, thinking that would ensure everything was foolproof, but who knew problems would still arise."
Wang Sicheng's tone became increasingly serious: "No matter what, you have to handle this matter as soon as possible. If I hadn't used some connections to control the spread of the news, I'm afraid even I would have been significantly affected."
Upon hearing this, Chen Ze quickly assured him, "Okay, Brother Cheng, don't worry, I will definitely handle this properly."
After saying that, he hurriedly hung up the phone.
However, before he could even catch his breath, Wang Siyu suddenly handed him her phone and said anxiously:
"Chen Ze, something terrible has happened! Look, there's a woman named Yan Ya on Weibo who's launching a massive attack on our Xiyue Beauty Cream!"
He took the phone and saw that the woman claimed to be a victim of using Xiyue beauty cream, and attached a photo of her face covered with red spots.
Chen Ze's expression was grave. Without hesitation, he picked up the phone on the table, quickly dialed Shen Xiyu's number, and said anxiously, "Secretary Shen, please come over immediately!"
A short while later, Chen Xiyu hurried to the office.
Chen Ze looked at Shen Xiyu with a serious expression, and then gave the order:
"Secretary Shen, the situation is urgent. You need to immediately arrange for someone to contact a woman named Yan Ya and make sure she deletes that Weibo post about our company's products. At the same time, tell her that we are willing to compensate her for all the losses she has suffered. This matter cannot be overlooked, understand?"
"Okay, boss, I'll take care of it right away." Shen Xiyu nodded in response, then turned and quickly left.
However, as time passed, before long, Shen Xiyu returned to Chen Ze's office, but this time her face was filled with frustration.
Shen Xi reported to Chen Ze in a dejected tone: "Boss, I'm really sorry, Yan Ya directly rejected our proposed compensation plan."
"Moreover, she was very firm in her stance, stating that she was determined to make all consumers see the true nature of Xiyue Beauty Cream, and claiming that this matter could not be resolved with money."
Upon hearing these words, Chen Ze's brows furrowed deeply, forming a deep furrow.
He knew perfectly well that if this crisis wasn't handled properly, it would undoubtedly be a catastrophe for the company. Thinking of this, Chen Ze fell into deep thought.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Chen Ze's mind like lightning—Yan Ya's resolute refusal to compromise was indeed somewhat suspicious.
Normally, ordinary people would accept such compensation terms, so why is she so determined? Could it be that someone is secretly manipulating and directing her?
With this in mind, Chen Ze made a quick decision and picked up the phone again to call Zeng Bojian.
Soon, Zeng Bojian pushed open the door and walked in.
"Boss, you wanted to see me?"
Chen Ze nodded and decisively gave the order: "I have an important task for you now. Go and investigate this woman named Yan Ya immediately."
"Including her background, social relationships, and recent activities, etc., don't overlook any clues, and submit a detailed investigation report to me as soon as possible."
"Yes, boss." Zeng Bojian accepted the order and left.
Then, Chen Ze said to Wang Siyu, "When you have time, go and visit some of the big companies we've invested in. I'm going to check out Xiyue Beauty Company."
"Okay, I understand."
Soon after, Chen Ze arrived at the production workshop of Xiyue Beauty Company, with Zhou Qianqian following him. They walked around but did not find any problems.
Immediately afterwards, they hurried to the door of the factory director's office.
The reason Chen Ze came specifically to find the factory manager was simply because the factory manager was in charge of managing the production affairs of the entire workshop. If he wanted to obtain more detailed and accurate information, finding him was undoubtedly the wisest choice.
Chen Ze took a deep breath, gently knocked on the door, and after hearing a "Come in" from inside, he pushed the door open and went in.
As soon as he entered, he asked directly, "Director Luo, have any of our management staff behaved strangely lately? For example, did they suddenly resign, or were absent without leave?"
Upon hearing this, Director Luo frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then slowly replied, "Boss, based on my current observations, the management staff have not yet exhibited the abnormal phenomena you described."
"However... something is worth mentioning last week. The workshop supervisor asked me for three whole days off to go back to his hometown. I don't know if that counts as an unusual situation?"
In fact, simply looking at the act of taking leave to go home does not necessarily indicate that there is any problem.
However, at this moment, in order to thoroughly investigate who had secretly tampered with the product, Chen Ze was naturally unwilling to let go of even the slightest clue that might become a key lead.
Thinking of this, he pressed on without hesitation: "Director Luo, when this workshop supervisor asked you for leave, did he mention the specific reason why he was going home?"
Factory Director Luo shook his head: "He didn't say it explicitly. He just said that he had an emergency at home, and since the production target had already been met, I approved it."
After thinking carefully for a moment, Chen Ze slowly said, "Give me the basic information about this supervisor."
"good."
Factory Director Luo called the HR manager and asked her to bring over the workshop supervisor's information.
Soon, the HR manager delivered the documents, and Chen Ze looked at the workshop supervisor's photo and home address on the documents.
It was discovered that the supervisor's family was from a rural area in Guangxi Province, and that he was already married with children.
