Chapter 061 Eat Her Lip Balm
The man was immediately taken to the county government office, and the canning factory was temporarily shut down.
After being sent to the county government office, the man claimed that he was angry that the red envelope given to him was smaller than that of others, and he held a grudge, so he wanted to take revenge... But after Shen Ning had someone check the background, it was found that the man's red envelope was not smaller than that of others.
He performed well at work, so the manager gave him high points and his red envelope was bigger than many others.
When asked where he bought the arsenic, the man couldn't explain it clearly. It was obvious that he was instructed by someone... But he refused to confess, and when he was imprisoned, he bit his teeth to death to vent his anger.
Shen Qingbai's teacher Chen Dianshi told Shen Ning that this man's intention to poison was of a serious nature and he would definitely be sentenced to exile.
Shen Ning thanked Chen Dianshi, then returned to the manor and personally supervised the rectification.
The first thing was to search everyone, and fortunately nothing unusual was found.
Then, she fired all the workers in the same group and village as the man...Those people usually thought that the boss was smiling and easy to talk to, and he didn't put on airs at all towards them, the lower-class people, and was polite and courteous.
But unexpectedly, the boss's approach was so decisive after the incident. Even if those involved knelt down and begged, Shen Ning remained unmoved.
After asking the guards on the farm to drag out those who were expelled but refused to leave, Shen Ning looked at the remaining people with a sullen face.
"Perhaps you will think I'm unkind for expelling someone who has nothing to do with this matter, but what I want to say is that what I'm doing here is making food... If a can of food laced with arsenic appeared on your table, or entered the stomachs of your elderly or children, what would you do then?"
Her tone was also icy and heavy. "There can be no mistakes when it comes to food. I treat everyone well so that everyone can work hard and feel at ease. If you do well, you will get a bonus that is no less than your wages. But I didn't expect that greed would be insatiable. Some people would actually do something as despicable and vicious as poisoning just for profit."
After a pause, she said loudly, "From now on, anyone who causes trouble in the village will be dealt with in the same way. Anyone from the same group, village, or familiar relationship will be expelled."
She glanced at everyone in the circle. "If you feel this is unfair, feel free to leave now. But if you can understand why I take this matter so seriously... then from now on, for the sake of this job where one person can provide a good life for an entire family, please keep a close eye on the people around you. If anyone notices anything unusual, investigate and verify, and there will be a generous reward."
"Yes, Boss!"
After beating up the workers on the farm and comforting them, it was already dark when Shen Ning returned to Mi Ji, and Su Lianyi was waiting for her in the store.
Seeing her, Su Lianyi came forward with a worried look on her face: "If the news of someone intending to poison her gets out, our business will definitely be affected."
After she finished speaking, she gritted her teeth and cursed: "Such inferior means must be from Yuexiang Pavilion, shameless scum!"
Shen Ning also suspected it was that side, but there was another layer of suspicion: maybe it was still that Madam Pan.
Last time he tried to find someone to kill her but failed, this time he had other ideas.
But no matter who it is, there are only these two enemies right now, so it could be anyone.
That night, Shen Ning whispered something to Yuan Yue...
The next morning, Mrs. Pan suddenly felt severe abdominal pain after breakfast. When the doctor was called, she was almost fainting from the pain.
The doctor soon diagnosed that Mrs. Pan had been poisoned by a trace amount of arsenic.
Magistrate Cao was furious that his wife was poisoned, but he suddenly remembered something the next moment.
The day before, someone attempted to poison canned food at Mi Ji Manor, and the poison they used was also arsenic.
Thinking of something, he directly questioned Mrs. Pan, who was as pale as paper after detoxification, "Did you do the poisoning at Honey?"
Madam Pan's eyes were red as she cried out in injustice, "Master, this is unfair. Why do you always blame me for everything that happens to Shen? How can this be justified?"
Magistrate Cao snorted coldly: "Who taught you to get yourself into trouble? If it weren't for you, why would others warn you like this? I already told you not to mess with that widow Shen. She is definitely not an ordinary person. If you don't want to live, go ahead and do it."
Mrs. Pan was angry and aggrieved.
This time it really wasn't her... Although it was she who conveyed the message to Manager Liu and suggested that he go to Mi Ji to cause trouble, the idea of poisoning was Manager Liu's own.
It has nothing to do with her!
How could Shen be so domineering that she would always be blamed for any problems that arise?
"Who made her dirty on my side? Regardless of whether it was her or not, let's count her first." Shen Ning sneered: "Besides, it's not completely unfair to her this time. Wasn't it her who instigated the Liu guy?"
Yuanyue and the others have already found out that the person who poisoned the person was instigated by Yuexiang Pavilion.
Chen Ning had also made arrangements for a backup plan, but it was inevitable that Mi Ji's canned food orders were indeed affected.
Rumor has it that someone poisoned the canned Mi Ji food. I don’t know which can contains the poison. What if someone dies from eating it?
However, corresponding rumors soon spread: Mi Ji was deliberately squeezed out by Yuexiang Pavilion because it rejected Yuexiang Pavilion's proposal to buy all the canned food.
Of course, Shen Ning arranged for someone to spread this.
People in pubs, restaurants and teahouses were talking about this matter. In addition, Mi Ji directly and publicly announced that it would terminate all business dealings with Yuexiang Pavilion and would never do business with Yuexiang Pavilion in the future, which immediately confirmed the rumor.
It seems that Yuexiang Pavilion was indeed the one behind this, otherwise why would Mi Ji be so ruthless.
Besides, Yuexiang Pavilion has a bad reputation, and everyone in the industry knows it.
After learning that Mi Ji was targeted and murdered only after it rejected Yuexiang Pavilion's proposal to monopolize the canned food business, several other restaurants in Pingning County, which were often squeezed out by Yuexiang Pavilion, immediately placed additional orders.
They also knew that if Mi Ji really gave all the canned food to Yuexiang Pavilion, their business would definitely be affected.
Moreover, everyone had suffered losses from Yuexiang Pavilion's inferior tactics, so when Mi Ji's orders were affected, they all increased the order quantity.
Su Lianyi couldn't help but feel touched when she saw this: "It really is like a heart for a heart."
Although they are not actually worried about the sale of canned food, the actions of these restaurant owners still make people feel grateful.
The reason why we are not worried about the sale of canned food is because the sea market in Xinzhou is about to open.
Xinzhou is close to the sea, and Haishi is not far from Pingning County. It only takes one day to get there by boat.
A few days ago, Chen Ning arranged for someone to take Mi Ji's canned food to Hai City for promotion. The response was good. When Hai City officially opens in a few days, they will ship a large batch of Mi Ji's canned food over.
"Miji's canned food will never have trouble selling."
Shen Ning poured a cup of tea for Xiao Nanchen who had just returned home, looking leisurely.
Xiao Nanchen had just heard her talk about what had happened in the past few days. He was wondering if she would be angry and aggrieved, and whether he should just kill her.
But she didn't expect that she could easily arrange everything well.
At this moment, seeing Shen Ning's leisurely look, and remembering what she said about how she gave the poisoning to Madam Pan without saying a word after the poisoning happened, she felt inexplicably funny in her heart.
This is unreasonable...Mrs. Pan was so blind to provoke her.
Shen Ning caught a glimpse of the king's smile from the corner of her eye and was puzzled: "I'm telling you here that I'm being bullied, but you're laughing over there, Anan, is this how you treat your sister-in-law?"
Xiao Nanchen put down his teacup, his eyes somewhat innocent: "I laughed at Madam Pan because she was both ridiculous and pitiful."
Chen Ning curled her lips: "Who taught her to harm me in the first place? Anyway, I am like this. If there are any hidden harms that cannot be found in the future, I will blame it all on her, isn't it right?"
Xiao Nanchen lowered his eyes and tried to suppress the corners of his mouth that were slightly raised: "No, that's right."
"That's more like it."
Thinking of something, Shen Ning took the tape measure from the side: "Come here, I'll measure your size. The clothing store clerk just left and they're short of your size. The autumn and winter clothes they've made later won't have your size..."
The weather is getting cooler and autumn is coming, so it’s time to prepare your clothes for the new season.
Before, when the guys from the clothing store came to take measurements, Yuan Yue had proposed making them uniform guard uniforms, which made Shen Ning scold them again.
More than a dozen people are all wearing the same clothes. Are they going to play Candy Crush?
Chen Ning refused and insisted that they all choose clothes of different colors. More than a dozen teenagers were almost upset, and in the end, the one who wore red clothes was chosen by drawing lots.
As Chen Ning measured Xiao Nanchen's size, she smiled and said, "Guess who gets to wear red?"
Xiao Nanchen lowered his eyes and saw that she was smiling with her head down and dimples on the corners of her lips.
They were so close that she seemed to be leaning against his chest when she looked down at the size.
His Royal Highness Prince Ding had been measured countless times, but this was the first time he felt stiff and restrained.
He looked away to distract himself and asked casually, "Who?"
"February."
Chen Ning couldn't help laughing when she thought of Er Yue, who had the worst face, and her increasingly gloomy and withdrawn expression when she got the red dress.
She walked behind Xiao Nanchen to measure his chest, and passed her hands around his front... Xiao Nanchen looked down and saw a pair of slender white hands crossed on his chest.
She was much shorter than him, and at this moment it seemed as if she was hugging him from behind.
His Adam's apple rolled up and down, but Xiao Nanchen didn't move at all, his whole body tense.
"alright……"
Shen Ning put away the tape measure and wrote down the measurements on the paper next to her. Then she heard Xiao Nanchen mutter a perfunctory thank you: "Thank you."
She teased him deliberately: "Why don't you call me sister-in-law?"
In front of Xiao Nanchen's eyes was the scene of those hands hugging him from behind. He was suddenly startled by the word "sister-in-law". He felt his mouth was dry and picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip.
But the next moment, he froze when he saw the lip grease residue on the teacup, and then choked.
He just ate her lip balm on the teacup!
“Cough cough cough…”
His Royal Highness Prince Ding, who was galloping on the battlefield, choked on a mouthful of water and coughed heartbreakingly. Shen Ning was startled and quickly clapped his hands at him.
Poor Prince Ding was choked to the point of tears filling his eyes. He pushed her hand away without even turning back, coughing and stumbling out the door...
