Chapter 69 Peng's Incident
A few days later, Peng's Soy Sauce was involved in an incident involving expired soy sauce.
The incident began when a consumer experienced nausea and diarrhea after purchasing Peng's soy sauce from a supermarket. Medical tests later revealed that the soy sauce had expired and was no longer safe to consume.
However, the production date marked on the soy sauce indicates that it has not expired!
At this time, a person claiming to be an employee of Peng's soy sauce production line revealed that the company repackaged expired and returned soy sauce and resold it!
The situation came suddenly, and negative news flooded in a short period of time. Coupled with the sensitive topic of food safety, it sparked a huge public outcry. Peng's stock value plummeted, President Peng was hospitalized in anger, and Peng Xiu'e was overwhelmed with work.
Sitting in her office, Lu Qianqian watched the public outcry unfold and felt there were some doubts: "If the Peng family really did this, why did no one experience diarrhea after eating it before, but only recently?"
Bai Ban also expressed his doubts: "It's too coincidental. The news broke out one day and then quickly escalated into an uncontrollable situation. Logically speaking, with Peng's strength, such news should have been suppressed quickly, but the opposite is true. Now, public opinion is exploding, the trending topics are high, there is a nationwide boycott of Peng's soy sauce, and the inspection authorities have intervened. Peng's has completely suspended production for inspection, and all retail products have been removed from shelves. The losses this time are huge, and it won't be able to recover for a while."
"Is it that serious?" Lu Qianqian immediately thought of Peng Xiue, with whom she had some kind of relationship, and promptly took out her WeChat to ask.
If you call, they might be busy. WeChat is perfect; they can reply slowly when they have time to check their phone.
Lu Qianqian: How is the situation now?
Soon, Peng Xiue replied: What a mess. I only found out now that you're not my father's wife.
Lu Qianqian: ……
This doesn't seem to be the focus of this conversation.
Peng Xiu'e: But at present, only I know about it.
Lu Qianqian: Oh.
Actually, it's not a problem since everyone already knows.
Peng Xiue: The old man has been hospitalized. If there is really a problem, it will be very difficult for us to recover this time.
Lu Qianqian: Is there really a problem with the soy sauce?
Peng Xiue: I can't say for sure. After all, the business is so large and there are so many people working for it. It's possible that some people repackaged all the returned soy sauce and sold it separately for personal profit.
Lu Qianqian: Are there really people like that?
Peng Xiu'e: Hmph, they might even be from our Peng family.
Lu Qianqian: Spendthrift.
Peng Xiue: I have a clear conscience and will accept the investigation. It's just that you might be implicated as well.
Lu Qianqian: Huh?
Peng Xiue didn't reply after that, but it was clear that her talk of being implicated was not just empty words. In the afternoon, people from the inspection agency came to the door, questioned Lu Qianqian and Zhang Shengqin separately, and took away the relevant documents of this property project.
As a result, progress stalled.
Zhang Shengqin was so angry that his forehead was practically steaming. He didn't even have time to scold Lu Qianqian before turning around and leaving.
Seeing this, Lu Qianqian simply gave everyone from the Peng family a holiday and went to the school to pick up Xiao Chengcheng herself, carrying seven whiteboards.
……
"How can you be so stupid?" Rong Zhecheng's patience was almost worn out. "You can't even memorize a multiplication table?"
The chubby boy was extremely aggrieved, his eyes red: "I just can't remember it. How about you buy me a grilled sausage, and I'll eat it while I recite it?"
Rong Zhecheng: "..."
"Rong Zhecheng, can you teach me math?" The little girl next to him looked at Rong Zhecheng with a sweet smile, her eyes full of expectation.
Rong Zhecheng shook his head with a stern face: "I won't teach."
You don't help me with my homework.
The little girl was puzzled: "Why are you teaching the chubby boy but not me? I'm smarter than the chubby boy!"
The chubby boy looked at the little girl with a very aggrieved expression.
Rong Zhecheng remained expressionless, appearing mature beyond his years: "Because he's stupid. If he doesn't study hard, he'll drag down our class average."
The little girl was disappointed, but she was convinced by this reason: "Okay."
The chubby boy looked at Rong Zhecheng and asked pitifully, "Am I really that stupid?"
Rong Zhecheng nodded: "Yeah, really stupid!"
The chubby boy immediately burst into tears.
Behind him, a tall boy punched the chubby boy on the forehead: "What are you yelling about? Shut up."
The chubby boy was immediately frightened and dared not cry anymore, but he couldn't stop the tears from streaming down his face. He kept sobbing and looked very aggrieved.
Rong Zhecheng was the first to express his dissatisfaction, looking at the tall boy: "Wang Hai, why are you yelling at him?"
Wang Hai has always been arrogant, always surrounded by a group of boys wherever he goes, giving off a boss-like vibe. Naturally, he's not afraid of the transfer student Rong Zhecheng. He holds his head high, showing a fierce look: "I'll yell, so what?"
The chubby boy tugged at Rong Zhecheng in fear, wanting to tell him that Wang Hai was not someone to be trifled with, and that he was quite frightening.
Seeing this, Rong Zhecheng was exasperated: "Is all that flesh on your body just for show? You could easily pin him to the ground, he wouldn't even be able to stand up!"
As soon as he said that, the students watching the commotion burst into laughter, including the little girl who had just been talking to Rong Zhecheng.
Wang Hai immediately got angry and glared around: "What are you laughing at?"
Everyone immediately shut up in fright, and the chubby boy shrank back in fear.
Wang Hai absolutely loathed Rong Zhecheng and threw a punch at him.
……
Just as Lu Qianqian arrived at the school gate, she received a call from Ms. Guo, Rong Zhecheng's homeroom teacher, asking her to come to the school immediately.
She took five minutes to get upstairs, and when she appeared in front of the teacher, everyone was stunned.
Teacher Guo was surprised that she arrived so quickly.
To Lu Qianqian's surprise, a row of children stood in front of her, including Rong Zhecheng and the chubby boy. All of them had injuries on their faces and their clothes were dirty, obviously they had just been in a fight.
Teacher Guo knew Rong Zhecheng's family background, but he was arrogant and fearless of the powerful. He immediately said to Lu Qianqian, "Rong Zhecheng beat up other students at school. According to school rules, he should be given a demerit."
"A demerit?" Lu Qianqian was shocked. She had only been in school for less than a week, and she had already received a demerit?
She looked at Rong Zhecheng, who simply raised his head dismissively... staring at the ceiling.
"What exactly happened?" she asked, puzzled. After all, if she was going to hold someone accountable, she needed to know the whole story.
The teacher pointed to Wang Hai in front of him and said, "This is Wang Hai. Rong Zhecheng injured him first, and then a group of people started to help Wang Hai. Peng Ziqian also joined in, but he was helping Rong Zhecheng. Because of his size, he could hold off two people, while the others were beaten by Rong Zhecheng and were screaming in pain."
Half of the boys in the class were involved in the fight, which infuriated her.
Lu Qianqian was even more surprised. Rong Zhecheng actually took on five people at once. Did he learn this skill from Baiban?
Seeing that Lu Qianqian didn't speak, Teacher Guo continued, "Take all these children to the hospital for a checkup. Since it was Rong Zhecheng who did it, you should take responsibility."
