Chapter 307: Chapter 307: Punishment

The reputation of the Autumn Expo skyrocketed to a national level overnight.

Due to the live broadcast and the influence of Su Jinxiao and others, people across the country were following the situation closely.

[I’m watching every day, just waiting for your results!]

[Right, there’s no way we’ll let this slide, if the Zhai Group dares to play tricks, I’ll! Humph!]

[The hardworking and diligent reputation of the farmers was ruined because of you!]

…

Public opinion online was overwhelmingly one-sided.

In just one night, everyone in the Zhai Group wished they could make their company disappear!

Early the next morning, various official accounts released statements.

Huaxia Daily: According to official sources, the evidence is confirmed, the spraying of excess chemicals was a violation, leading to multiple cases of food poisoning, a fine of 500,000 yuan, and full responsibility for all medical expenses…

International Autumn Expo: After official evaluation, we hereby cancel Zhai Li’s participation and award, with the award going to the next in line. Permanently uninvited.

Imperial City University: The school has unanimously decided to criticize Zhai Li and expel her!

…

“I never expected Zhai Li to be such a person!”

“Who would have thought, it’s truly outrageous!”

“As Chi Youyou said, the most unbearable thing is that she doesn’t value human lives!”

“I’ll never buy anything from the Zhai family again!”

“Me neither! Boycott!”

…

Yin Zhengzheng looked at the messages on her phone and angrily threw all the documents on her desk to the floor.

“Honey, what you need to do right now is immediately release a statement!”

Her manager, Amy, walked in, luck really wasn’t on her side, having just started a collaboration with the Zhai Family!

“That pampered princess Zhai Li really thinks money can let her do whatever she wants, no tact at all, just a fool!”

“Alright, getting angry now is useless, what we need to do is minimize the losses as soon as possible.”

Amy consoled, “Luckily, we have a backup plan this time, I’ve arranged a farmhouse live stream, we can go the agricultural support route.”

Yin Zhengzheng clicked her tongue in disdain, “Places like that are so filthy!”

As she said this, she completely forgot that she herself once came from the “filthy” place she spoke of.

She had originally been a country girl from a rural village, with a father who was lazy and indulgent, leaving her mother to manage everything at home, and she was left in the fields to work from a young age. Though her mother often helped her, if her father found out, she would still get beaten.

She had truly had enough of those harsh days!

By chance, she met Amber, who brought her into the live streaming industry, and once she made money, she vowed never to do that kind of work again!

The reason they fell out back then with Amber was partly because she wanted to change paths, but Amber disagreed.

“Alright, bear with it for now, you don’t even have to do any real work, just go over to offer some comfort, put on a show.”

“Though there’s not much suspense with this live stream PK, I’ve been watching that Youzi closely, her momentum is strong, and her topic presence is too high, I wonder how much New Exploration spent!”

“Hmph, trying to go viral with these attention-seeking stunts is one thing, but maintaining prolonged popularity, well, I haven’t seen it done before.”

Yin Zhengzheng closed her phone, clapped her hands, “I know Amber, she has some ideas, but she’s weak, though it seems she’s been pushed to the limit. But I’ll show her that even when pushed, she’s still useless!”

“Don’t worry, I won’t let her rise.”

Amy smiled and took a drag from her cigarette, happy to have someone clear the path for her.

Soon after, a new official statement by Kite appeared on social media.

She chose to break the contract, as a reminder to herself to cherish food and love life.

Zhai Li was picked up by her mother from the police station, only then realizing everything had changed!

She was no longer a student at Imperial City University and needed to go abroad to lay low.

“Mom, I didn’t do the last two things! I didn’t tell Liu Yuan to spray Chi Youyou’s vegetables with chemicals, nor did I bribe the experts with money!”

She admitted to everything else, but she didn’t do these two things, and she adamantly refused to confess.

Later on, somehow, these two matters were temporarily shelved.

“Alright, alright, Mom knows.”

Mrs. Zhai hugged her daughter. Indeed, she wasn’t quite certain herself what had happened. If a bribery charge were added to this, then what?

Luckily it wasn’t!

“Mom, do I really have to go abroad?”

“Your grandpa has already arranged everything, don’t worry, mom will stand up for you.”

Mrs. Zhai had already made up her mind. This time, she would destroy the entire Shen Family!

Song Group.

“Sir, here is the information you requested.”

Jiang An had organized all the information about the incident and placed it on his desk, “I’ve tracked down this money; it came from the Fang Family’s account, but this evidence can’t be used; their maneuvers were clever.”

Song Shiyu sneered, “How long has it been since the Fang Family started to stir again?”

“Sir, should we just let this go for now? Otherwise, it will be difficult to explain to the old lady.”

Jiang An pondered a bit and added a remark.

“When have you ever seen me swallow my anger?”

Jiang An: …

Alright, as if I said nothing.

“I heard the Fang Family is currently negotiating an entertainment company project?”

“Yes, it’s likely paving the way for Miss Fang Yifei.”

Song Shiyu nodded, “The Song Group hasn’t ventured into the entertainment industry yet, I think it’s a good development opportunity.”

Jiang An: …

Looks like the Fang Family is in trouble again, and the old man will lose sleep from being nagged by the old lady!

Of course, he only said this in his heart, outwardly he nodded respectfully and indicated that he would get to work right away!

After the Autumn Expo, there were significant changes in the agricultural giants.

The Zhai Family suffered heavy losses, while the Shen Family, thanks to their collaboration with Chi Youyou, saw their products thrive and business booming.

Chi Youyou herself had also become a favorite in the Agricultural College.

“Youbao~ Thanks to your help with this practical lesson, hehe, I’ve already started to get the hang of it!”

“And me, I wouldn’t have known what to do if you hadn’t helped me with pest control!”

…

“No need to be polite, we’re all classmates, helping each other grow together!”

Chi Youyou was always happy to help her classmates.

Everyone knew she was from the International Agricultural Research Institute, but she was entirely approachable, helping anywhere she could.

No one brought up Zhai Li’s matter anymore, and even Zhai Li’s two little followers had become transparent.

However, the senior who was caught before got heavily punished.

This weekend was the Song Group’s competition, and Chi Youyou had designed two live streaming plans, intending to go directly to the Shen Family’s factory for a live broadcast before Sunday’s competition, making the process transparent!

Just after she sent the plans to Amber, she received a call from her.

“Youyou, something’s wrong, there’s been an incident at the Shen Family’s factory!”
