Lu Feng gently nudged Jiang Xiaoyan, who was startled. She opened her eyes and, seeing that Lu Feng was awake, her face lit up with joy. She asked, "Are you feeling better now? Why did you drink so much?"
"I don't want to drink either, go lie down and get some sleep." Lu Feng suddenly remembered something and asked, "Is Duo Duo home alone?"
"I asked Sister Sun across the street to keep an eye on things, it's fine."
"That's good. You should lie down and sleep. I can't sleep, so I'll sit for a while." Lu Feng persuaded her for a while before Jiang Xiaoyan finally lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
The night outside had broken free from its gloom, tinged with a bluish-green light. Lu Feng sat on the edge of the bed, staring blankly at the light, one hand resting on Jiang Xiaoyan's calf, feeling an indescribable sense of peace.
Around 8 a.m., multiple departments in the city conducted a surprise inspection of children's food products on the market. Wahaha Nutritional Liquid was found to be substandard in the inspection. The product has been seized and will be sent to the laboratory for comprehensive testing, from the product itself to its packaging.
At the same time, more than a dozen substandard illegal workshops were shut down, and a batch of illegal equipment was seized.
Lu Feng returned to the factory at almost nine o'clock. Although he had sobered up, the aftereffects of the alcohol still made his legs weak. Zhang Fengxia walked in yawning and said, "The factories over there have been collecting data, and I'm so tired."
"What's tiring about it? You were snoring loudly all night. Have you finished the statistics yet?" Lu Feng asked.
"You're no boss. I'm just a young girl, and you treat me like an animal. The only thing missing is the data from Factory Four. Otherwise, you could have drunk yourself to death there and no one would care," Zhang Fengxia said irritably.
There was a knock on the door, but Lu Feng didn't even look up and said, "Come in."
Gao Zhiwei walked in and looked the two of them over. He had heard that they had both arrived yawning, and Zhang Fengxia was supporting Lu Feng, who seemed very weak.
Rumors have been circulating in the factory for a while now, especially about the position of secretary, which is now considered exactly the same as that of a mistress.
"The market regulators have investigated Wahaha and seized the goods!" Gao Zhiwei sat down and asked, "What happened?"
"I drank too much. Without last night's alcohol, would I have been this efficient today? I would have ended up in the hospital," Lu Feng said helplessly.
"Huh?" Gao Zhiwei was quite surprised and said, "Don't drink like that in the future. There are people specifically assigned to accompany leaders to these drinking parties. They're all prepared to drink three or four jin (1.5-2 catties) of liquor. If you do it yourself, you'll drink yourself to death!"
"You're in charge of those meetings this morning, I'm not going to worry about them. I'm going to lie down for a bit." Lu Feng leaned back in his chair, rubbing his temples. "Tell those factories to get in touch with the local leaders and ask them to give Kavahaha a shout-out."
Lu Feng knew that those places wouldn't be very cooperative; he just wanted to hold them off for a few days, or even a month or two, which would be enough.
Gao Zhiwei looked somewhat embarrassed and hesitated for a moment before saying, "President Lu, we don't need to go this far. I think we shouldn't be too aggressive. I know President Zong well; he's a ruthless person."
"It's not like I'm not a ruthless person. Perfect, with so many moves today, I need to figure out where he'll strike next." Lu Feng picked up the sales report and glanced at it. Five factories, plus the local market, had sold over 70,000 canned goods by yesterday. Lu Feng was quite satisfied with this data.
The market hasn't fully expanded yet, so this data is normal!
Seeing how determined he was, Gao Zhiwei could only shut up. He had Lu Feng sign some documents that needed his signature at the factory before going about his own business.
When Wahaha products were seized, the distributors immediately called the headquarters. Within half an hour, the details were laid out on the desk. Some distributors with local influence even received information that Jiaming Foods had reported the matter or treated them to meals.
"Okay!" President Zong looked at the documents with a grim expression and said in a deep voice, "This young man has a lot of potential and is quite capable."
A few minutes later, several executives entered the office.
"First, contact the Four Heavenly Kings. They'll contribute half the money, and we'll contribute the other half. We'll sue them. Then, contact the newspapers and make this a big deal. And then, speed up the new product launch. It needs to be online this month."
"no problem!"
"We must keep a close eye on their products. These small cans are really delicious. From my perspective, they have a strong product appeal, so we need to seize this market share."
.................
In the afternoon, the entertainment industry was in an uproar. Wahaha joined forces with the Four Heavenly Kings to defend their rights, which was simply a dream combination. Various paparazzi, magazine reporters, and gossip reporters flocked to the scene.
Meanwhile, more calls were made to various factories of Jiaming Foods, hoping for a response. Lu Feng moved around in his office. He had taken a nap after lunch and was now feeling refreshed.
The marketing manager rushed over here. When Lu Feng saw him like this, he knew in his heart that something had happened, something serious.
"What's wrong?" Lu Feng called out.
"President Lu, Wahaha is standing up for the Four Heavenly Kings, saying we infringe on their patents. The phones at all the factories are ringing off the hook. Tomorrow, the three of us will definitely be making headlines, and we're preparing to file a lawsuit."
"The Four Heavenly Kings?" Zhang Fengxia poked her head out of the office and asked in surprise, "How did we end up provoking the Heavenly Court?"
“They’re the Four Heavenly Kings of singing.” Lu Feng said irritably.
"Should we respond? If we don't handle this well, it feels like we could easily offend the fans."
“We found four people from the factory and said that we originally intended to use the factory’s Four Heavenly Kings, but we accidentally used the wrong ones when printing the promotional photos. We apologized and sincerely invited the Four Heavenly Kings to be our spokespeople.”
"Okay, I'll take care of it right away."
"Come back." Lu Feng stretched and said, "Don't let them take it down. Keep the sign up. Tomorrow, tell the public that we've already reached an agreement with the Four Heavenly Kings in private. If they retaliate, we'll say we've been scammed. We'll release a random photo of someone and say that this person negotiated with us and paid an endorsement fee. If they want to argue, we'll argue with them."
