Chapter 308: Chapter 308: Factory Shutdown

“Someone reported a food safety issue at the factory. It has now been verified, and the factory has been ordered by the relevant departments to halt production for a thorough investigation.”

“That’s absolutely impossible, unless it’s been orchestrated by someone.”

Chi Youyou looked grave and was about to say something when she saw Shen Xiaomi rushing back, “Amber, you take care of the broadcast room. Xiaomi and I will go to the factory ourselves.”

“Okay!”

After hanging up the phone, Amber saw Yaya swaying her hips as she walked over, “Amber, you don’t look so good. Did something happen? Do you need help?”

“Yaya, you don’t know yet, do you? The Youzi under Amber’s wing, wasn’t there a collaboration with the Shen Group for fruit and vegetable products recently? It seems like there’s a problem at the factory, and now it’s all over the internet!”

The woman walking with Yaya covered her mouth in shock, “This issue is too big! This is about the food people eat, which is what everyone cares most about regarding their safety. Who cares if they like watching your broadcasts or not!”

“Ah, such a huge issue has happened!”

Yaya feigned surprise, “Isn’t the PK with the Song Group co-hosts scheduled for this Sunday? And something happens at such a critical moment. Amber, if you need any help, just let me know. We’re all in the same company, you know, willing to help if needed~”

Her words were all pleasant on the surface, but her expression was completely different.

She looked like she was enjoying the spectacle.

Amber didn’t bother to argue with her, not responding at all, and focused intently on the computer in front of her, quickly thinking about how to minimize the loss.

Imperial City University.

“Youyou!”

After class, Chi Youyou and Lin Xing were in the classroom waiting for Shen Xiaomi, who went to the bathroom, and Zhao Qingran.

The two of them hurriedly ran over, panting, as most of the other students had left the classroom.

“Xiaomi, Amber just called me. There’s been a mishap at the factory.”

“Yes, I just got a call from Grandpa. He’s trying to find a way to suppress the news, but somehow it’s already been leaked, and it’s all over the internet now!”

Shen Xiaomi opened her phone, and two of the top three trending topics on Weibo were related to Shen’s Factory. Besides that, there was the word about Youzi’s broadcast room.

“It’s not that it was leaked; rather, everything is under the control of the other side.”

Chi Youyou shook her head, “This matter cannot be suppressed. They won’t give us that chance!”

“You mean someone is deliberately targeting us!”

“Don’t you know what your factory is like? Would a food hygiene problem really occur?”

Chi Youyou looked at the panicked Shen Xiaomi and questioned her.

“No! Shen’s would never do something so unethical, and I personally oversee this factory!”

Seeing the seriousness in Chi Youyou’s eyes, Shen Xiaomi calmed down.

When she received the call and saw the news, she was indeed a bit scared.

Grandpa said the factory has been ordered to halt all production, and she could only think of those endless orders.

Youyou’s broadcast room sells well, and offline stores are also starting to stock products. Orders are flowing in continuously, and the factory’s issues mean they’ll lose a lot of money.

Plus, she’d never encountered anything like this before, making her feel disoriented.

But hearing Chi Youyou’s words, she calmed down instead.

Right!

Their factory would absolutely not have these issues!

“Youyou, what should we do now?”

Chi Youyou thought for a moment, “Since it’s already happened, we need to find a way to solve it. If someone is behind this, there must be traces to find!”

“You mean we should go to the factory now?”

“Yes!”

Luckily, they had no classes this afternoon, so they could go to the factory and look into the situation, to understand what’s really happening.

Song Group.

After finishing a meeting and leaving the office, Song Shiyu was approached by Jiang An.

“Sir, Miss Chi has encountered an issue over there.”

“Hmm?”

Song Shiyu reached for the tablet in Jiang An’s hand.

[This is the broadcaster you all love, tsk tsk tsk, just a rogue business!]

[All you mindless fans, still defending her at this point! Do you think the broadcaster wouldn’t know how the factory makes its products?]

[You guys are too naive. They are in a partnership, and both sides make money off of you fools!]

…

One of the hot topics was about Shen’s Factory being shut down, and the other was about an unethical broadcaster making dirty money.

The comment section was full of cursing, and even those trying to speak up for Chi Youyou were being chased down and scolded.

The sentiments in the comment section were overwhelmingly negative.

The air pressure around Song Shiyu dropped dangerously, and standing beside him, Jiang An swallowed, “Sir… should we help?”

He glanced cautiously at his boss while nervously asking.

Song Shiyu’s slender fingers quickly swiped across the screen.

“The co-host PK is this weekend?”

“Yes, this Sunday afternoon.”

When Song Shiyu suddenly asked this, Jiang An was momentarily unprepared and reflexively responded.

Could it be!

A few seconds later, he too had some suspicions. It seemed like someone didn’t want the future madam to stand out too much.

“Keep an eye on this issue, and if there’s anything she can’t resolve, give her a hand in the background.”

“Understood, sir.”

If the Song Group were to intervene officially, the fairness of the upcoming competition could be questioned.

Miss Chi’s personality would certainly not be agreeable with that approach either.

“Secretary Jiang, what’s wrong with the boss?”

People leaving the meeting became anxious seeing their boss suddenly leave with such a low energy.

“The boss’s thoughts are beyond our grasp. Just focus on your work. Make sure this quarter’s reports aren’t like the last one’s.”

Jiang An returned to his usual self, waving them off, and then hurried away.

Even he couldn’t figure out the boss’s thoughts, so how would he have time to bother with them?

Kite Studio.

Yin Zhengzheng felt quite pleased as she looked at the trending topics, having quickly brushed off being previously rejected by Song Shiyu coldly.

See, she had swiftly dealt with a competitor.

Once she secured the co-host position, would she still worry about having no opportunities to interact with Mr. Song?

“Zhengzheng, are you satisfied with this?”

Amy took a drag on her cigarette, raising an eyebrow as she asked.

“It’s okay, it’ll do.”

Yin Zhengzheng put down her phone, “Be careful with that lady from the Fang Family; she’s not simple. Our biggest competitor in this co-host PK is her.”

Someone like that Youzi, with no background and just a rising broadcaster, there are plenty of ways to deal with her.

But someone like Fang Yifei, looking to reap the benefits without getting involved, is their biggest competitor in this PK competition!

“Don’t worry, she can’t stay uninvolved. We’re all grasshoppers tied to the same rope here!”
