Chapter 7: Targeting in Secret, Public Opinion Storm

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

A day later, a group of uninvited guests arrived at the factory of Yaoyao Food.

These people were wearing uniforms with number tags on their chests. The group of people aggressively entered the factory.

The leader of the group stood at the entrance of the factory with his hands behind his back. His subordinates spread out and pushed all the workers who were working normally to the side.

He even shouted loudly.

“Stop, stop production, and wait for an inspection!”

“We are from the Food and Drug Administration. Someone has anonymously reported that the food you produce here is of unqualified quality and has excessive use of food additives.”

“You can only continue production after we’ve checked and passed the inspection!”

“You can go and get your person in charge now. This is an order from our director!”

There was an uproar in the factory. They were all members of Yaoyao Food and knew how strict the company’s rules and regulations were.

Who would have thought that the company would be forced to close down for rectification because of quality issues?

A production team leader walked up and tried to reason with him.

“Sir, we’ve already reported all of our products to you before we started production. They’re all produced according to very high standards. How could there be a quality problem?”

“Is there a mistake?”

The person in charge glared at him and snorted.

“Hehe, just because you say there’s no problem with the quality, does that mean there’s no problem? Follow orders immediately, or do you want us to seal your factory?”

In the face of such a strong and even somewhat unreasonable official, the production team leader knew that he could not do anything to them.

He quickly told everyone to stop their work and said,

“You guys stay here. Don’t let anyone touch our production equipment before I come back. I’ll go find Director Ding now!”

Not long after, Zhao Feng and Ding Yao came together after hearing the news. Why did the people from the Food and Drug Administration suddenly come?

The recipe was provided by the system and Zhao Feng had eaten the food produced by the recipe before. There was no problem at all.

Moreover, he didn’t know how the system came up with these formulas. After all kinds of food additives and technology were added together, they actually had a wonderful chemical effect.

It made the food look and smell good. There’s even enough nutritional value!

“I’m the general manager of Yaoyao Food, Ding Yao. What’s going on? There must be a misunderstanding!”

In front of Ding Yao, the people from the Food and Drug Administration immediately put out a notice.

“Did you see that? It’s the signature of our director. From now on, your company will be suspended for rectification. After the investigation is over and the food ingredients are confirmed to be qualified, you can continue production.”

“What about before the investigation ends?”

Ding Yao asked anxiously.

“Hehe, you are not allowed to do anything before it ends. Otherwise, we will carry out a forceful punishment!”

“How could you do this? Where’s the evidence?”

“When the investigation results are out, there will naturally be evidence!”

“What? You don’t even have any evidence and you want us to stop production? Who will be responsible for the losses caused by the delay in production?”

“This isn’t our business!”

After saying these requirements, the people from the Food and Drug Administration didn’t give Zhao Feng and Ding Yao any chance to refute and immediately left.

Ding Yao gritted her teeth in anger as she looked at those people’s backs.

“Director Zhao, what should we do now? Do you want to continue the production?”

Zhao Feng’s eyes were slightly solemn as he thought about it and said.

“Let’s do as they say for now. The investigation by the Food and Drug Administration this time is too sudden. I suspect there’s something fishy about it.”

“It’s even possible that we’re being watched! Anyway, just bear with it.”

“But if we don’t continue production, we’ll be losing money every day…”

“Haha, don’t worry. This small amount of money is nothing to me, and this matter won’t be in a deadlock for long!” Zhao Feng said with a smile.

The news that Yaoyao Food was forced to close down by the Food and Drug Administration for rectification quickly spread on the internet, and it attracted many self-media to forward and spread it.

Gradually, more and more netizens began to hear about this matter. People asked around and found out that the cheap meat products that were very popular on the market recently were produced by this company.

Since many netizens had already bought these products, people were worried about what they had eaten in the past.

Yaoyao Food’s reputation began to deteriorate rapidly. Some people even organized to go to court and ask for compensation from Yaoyao Food!

Under the netizens’ joint boycott, the retailers that had previously worked with Yaoyao Food also expressed their intention to terminate their cooperation.

They also requested a refund!

In just three days, Yaoyao Food had fallen into a situation where everyone spurned it.

As a food company, a good reputation was its lifeline.

If this situation continued, no matter how much money Zhao Feng had, as long as he invested in Yaoyao Food, he would lose all his money.

There was no trace of the Food and Drug Administration’s investigation at all. This once again confirmed Zhao Feng’s guess that someone was deliberately messing with him!

In order to calm this storm as soon as possible, Zhao Feng decided to do the opposite!

Since those people behind the scenes wanted to use public opinion to destroy Yaoyao Food, he would use public opinion to launch a counterattack!

“Ding Yao, arrange a live broadcast room for me in the company. Give me a bag of each of the different specifications of our company’s recent products.”

“Then, go online and buy some traffic to attract as many people as possible to watch the live broadcast. I want to personally prove that there are no problems with our products in the live broadcast room!”

“Also, go and find a qualified laboratory for food appraisal near Haicheng. No matter how much it costs, get the test report of our products as soon as possible.”

“If this continues, it’s definitely what the people behind the Food and Drug Administration want to see!”

Hearing this, Ding Yao immediately nodded in agreement.

Two days later, a live broadcast began under the watch of countless people.

Many netizens rushed to the live broadcast room after hearing the news. They wanted to see how the people of Yaoyao Food would prove that their products were healthy.

As soon as he entered the live broadcast room, the bullet screen was filled with denouncement.

“Return me my health. Unscrupulous companies like yours deserve to go bankrupt!”

“We must boycott this till the end. Otherwise, how can we guarantee our health?”

“I’d like to see how this live stream guy is going to prove it!”

Soon, Zhao Feng appeared in the live broadcast.
