As soon as he went live, Zhao Feng placed the test report that Ding Yao had just taken from the laboratory yesterday in front of the audience.

He also introduced the items and their meanings to the audience one by one according to the data given by the laboratory.

“Everyone, please take a look. Recently, there have been rumors online that the food additives in our company have exceeded the limit, and we have also used many unhealthy ingredients.”

“This is an inspection report given by a professional appraisal agency. The various data on it shows that all of our products have met the standards.”

“Everything on the internet is false. After this live broadcast, I will file a lawsuit against Haicheng Food Administration and demand compensation for the losses our company has suffered during this period!”

Although Zhao Feng had already taken out the professional appraisal report, the audience in the live stream room did not seem to buy it.

This was because the impression that the product was not up to standard had already formed in their minds. Changing it was not something that could be done with just a piece of paper.

“You think it’s qualified just because you say so? Who knows if the experts you found are real or fake!”

“Hehe, I’m laughing. There’s still someone who would believe the words of an expert in this day and age?”

“Since your food is so healthy, why don’t you eat it yourself? Do you dare to? If you dare to eat it, I’ll believe you!”

Zhao Feng immediately said after seeing this bullet comment.

“Alright, since no one believes me, I’ll eat it in front of everyone!”

“See that? The packaging in my hand is still sealed. It’s the latest batch of products. If I lie, I’ll be struck by lightning!”

As he spoke, Zhao Feng picked up a bag of cooked synthetic meat from the side. This product could be eaten immediately, and it was barbecue-flavored, which tasted very good.

After Zhao Feng tore open the bag, he grabbed the meat and stuffed it into his mouth. He ate it in big mouthfuls without any psychological burden.

Zhao Feng did not lie to the audience. Although the formula given by the system was full of technology, it was still high-tech!

There was really no harm to the human body.

Moreover, it didn’t matter if he didn’t eat synthetic meat. Once he got addicted to it, even Zhao Feng couldn’t stop.

A live stream of proving one’s innocence instantly turned into a live stream of eating.

The audience in front of the screen was dumbfounded.

“Damn, this guy is really eating! Do you have to be so desperate?”

“He’s eating so happily, so what he said should be true, right? I don’t think he’s pretending!”

“He looks so much like me when I eat fried chicken. Now I’m willing to believe what he said!”

“I’m hungry from watching…”

Due to the excellent effect of the live broadcast, the content of the live broadcast was spread very quickly.

In addition, Ding Yao had already contacted various online media, so the live broadcast was quickly forwarded and spread.

The videos and photos of Zhao Feng eating in front of the camera had completely convinced many netizens.

It didn’t take long for the retailers to put their products back on the shelves and the sales resumed.

Not long after the live broadcast ended, Zhao Feng immediately fulfilled his promise and filed a complaint against the Food and Drug Administration in court.

Who knew that this complaint would expose the truth of the matter?

The Food and Drug Administration said on the spot that this matter had nothing to do with them and that they had sealed up Zhao Feng’s factory because they had received a report from the Zhao Corporation.

After hearing the news, Zhao Feng didn’t make things difficult for the people from the Food and Drug Administration.

Instead, he requested the Food and Drug Administration to hand over the evidence of the Zhao Corporation’s report to him. Then, he filed a petition to sue the Zhao Corporation in court!

Just three days later, as Zhao Feng had prepared sufficient evidence, the court declared Zhao Corporation to have lost the case.

According to the professional’s estimation, Zhao Corporation had to compensate Yaoyao Food production company for a total of 500 million dollars in economic and reputation losses!

Not only did Zhao Ming and the others fail to cause any losses to Zhao Feng, but they also lost five hundred million dollars!

The funds in Zhao Feng’s hands did not decrease but increased instead, from 1 billion to 1.5 billion!

With more funds, Zhao Feng was not stingy.

If he wanted to hoard more resources before the apocalypse, the amount of money needed would be astronomical.

In this era, a billion was not something he could afford to spend. He wanted to earn more money! Naturally, he had to put in some effort.

“Ding Yao, I will continue to invest 50 million into the company to expand production!”

“Our current production efficiency can’t meet the market demand. Finish this work as soon as possible to avoid a shortage!”

After receiving Zhao Feng’s instructions, Ding Yao immediately threw herself into the work of expanding the company’s scale.

Soon, the factory, which originally only had two or three factories, rapidly expanded, and the number of synthetic meat production lines increased to ten!

The daily output had doubled compared to before!

In addition to the fame that Zhao Feng had gained from winning the lawsuit, the sales of synthetic meat soared.

Seven days later, the system’s voice suddenly sounded in Zhao Feng’s mind.

“Ding! Master, congratulations on reaching the system’s requirements. You have received a reward, ham sausage formula!”

“This product only requires a small amount of starch and a variety of food additives, and some trace elements that are beneficial to the human body to produce a good quality, cheap, and nutritious ham sausage.”

“Master, you can extract this formula at any time for production!”

“Master, I hope you can walk further and further on the path of a black-hearted merchant!”

He didn’t know why, but receiving a system reward should have been a happy thing.

However, when Zhao Feng heard the system’s last sentence, he felt a little uncomfortable.

He was clearly a good person. How could it say that he was a black-hearted merchant?

It’s just that the cost is a little low! This recipe was provided by the system, and yet it’s talking to its own master like that?

Although Zhao Feng was complaining about the system’s way of speaking in his heart, he still had to quickly take out the recipe and use it.

Soon, Zhao Feng arrived at the factory and found the person in charge. He handed the formula that he had just printed to him.

“Now, your factory will stop all activities. Modify the machines according to the requirements on this list. This list contains the latest product that our company will be producing next.”

Everyone in the company knew that Zhao Feng, who did not have any position, was the real big boss of the company, so the person in charge naturally would not delay any further.

That afternoon, the first synthetic starch ham sausage was freshly made.

Zhao Feng asked as he looked at the ham sausage in his hand.

“What’s the cost of this thing?”

The person in charge seemed to be a little excited.

“According to the recipe you provided, if we use the size of a normal ham sausage on the market as the standard, the cost of one ham sausage will only be 40 cents! According to a bag of ten, the cost is only four dollars!”

“As for this bag of ham sausage, the market price should be between 20 to 25 dollars, which is close to five times the profit!”

“Director Zhao, where did you get this recipe? The person who invented this formula is a genius…”
