From this day on, Gu Nanyin began to collect information about Down's Chocolate Company in his spare time.After researching, she found that Down Corporation had already shown signs of decline as early as a few years ago.The specific performance is that the factory buildings under the name are constantly sold, and the scale of the production line is constantly reduced.Originally a large-scale food company, it gradually shrank to the level of a small workshop.

"Hey! How did this happen?" Gu Nanyin couldn't help but often sighed while flipping through these materials.Apart from regret, she could guess that there must be some reason for this company to go from victory to decline.And the best way to know the reason is to do an on-the-spot investigation.

On the weekend, Gu Nanyin got up early to visit the headquarters of Tang Corporation in person.She glanced at Huo Beixiao who was still sleeping soundly on the bed, and said silently in her heart: "I'm sorry dear, I can't be with you at ease this rest day. Take a good rest, I'll be back soon."

After a simple breakfast, Gu Nanyin drove to the headquarters of Tang Corporation alone.Before leaving, she had already firmly recorded the other party's address in her mind.But when she arrived at the scene, she realized that the actual situation was much more complicated than what was marked on the address.

It is close to the edge of the old city, almost equivalent to the most dilapidated area in the entire city A.Many courtyards have been transformed into temporary housing for rent out, which made it difficult for Gu Nanyin to find the door of Tang's company.

After going through the halls and tossing and turning, Gu Nanyin finally found a way to enter the headquarters of Tang Corporation.Next to the extremely hidden door, the signboard of "Down's Chocolate Company" was hung on the mottled wall intact.It's just that the words on the signboard have been blurred by the sun and rain for a long time.

What's more terrible is that the person in charge here probably has no intention to replace the signboard with a new one.

Walking into the courtyard, Gu Nanyin saw a scene of depression everywhere.Finally, when an employee came out of the small factory building, Gu Nanyin hurried to meet him and asked if the leader of the other party was here.

"Are you going to see our manager?" The employee looked at Gu Nanyin vigilantly and in surprise, as if he hadn't seen a stranger in the factory for a long time.

Gu Nanyin nodded: "If possible, I would like to meet your chairman directly."

After hearing this, the employee smiled wryly: "We don't even have a board of directors now, so there is no chairman. At present, Manager Tang is our biggest and only leader here. If you want to see him, I can invite him now."

Gu Nanyin hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "Okay, then I will trouble you."

The employees quickly turned around and left the factory building. Not long after, another man walked out of the factory building.He looks handsome, but his spirit is a bit sluggish, coupled with the inappropriate overalls, he looks indescribably awkward.

"Hello, what's your address?" While speaking, Gu Nanyin took the initiative to reach out to the man.

Manager Tang was stunned, and after confirming that his hands were clean, he shook hands with Gu Nanyin hesitantly.

"My name is Tang Haotian, and I'm the person in charge of this factory. May I ask who you are..."

"You are Tang Haotian?" Gu Nanyin asked the man quite unexpectedly, as if he didn't believe what the other party said.

Manager Tang nodded with a wry smile, "I'm really Tang Haotian, I didn't lie to you."

"But as far as I know, Tang Haotian should be the current chairman of Tang's company. But the employee I met just now said that you are the manager... What's going on?"

"Hey, no matter how you call it, it's the same. Anyway, there are not many people in the factory now, so they can call it whatever they want."

Seeing Tang Haotian's gloomy expression, Gu Nanyin knew that it seemed that the company was close to bankruptcy.

While she was thinking secretly, Tang Haotian tentatively asked: "Miss, I dare to ask your name. Excuse me, why do I feel as if I have met you somewhere..."

Gu Nanyin smiled slightly, and said her name calmly.

Hearing the words "Gu Nanyin", Tang Haotian felt as if he had been struck by lightning.He stood motionless, and it took some time before he widened his eyes, and asked tremblingly: "Could it be...you are... the famous Mr. Gu?"

Gu Nanyin waved her hand very indifferently: "Although I do work for the Huo Group, my visit to you today is actually in my personal capacity and does not represent the position of the company."

Tang Haotian nodded dully. To him, Gu Nanyin's sudden appearance was like encountering a dream in real life.He tried his best to stabilize his extremely excited mood, and invited Gu Nanyin into his office.

"Yes... I'm sorry, Mr. Gu! It's too messy here! Please allow me to tidy up a little while you sit down." The messy and dusty office made Tang Haotian, the owner, lose face.He could only bite the bullet and make a request to Gu Nanyin, hoping that the distinguished guest in front of him would allow him to come back with a little face.

Gu Nanyin waved her hand generously: "No need, Mr. Tang, I'm here to discuss things with you, not to check the hygiene. Of course, I hope that when I come back next time, this place can restore its tidy appearance." Speaking of which , Gu Nanyin took out a tissue and wiped the dust off the chair, then sat on it calmly.

Tang Haotian at this moment was so ashamed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to sneak in.The sluggish business made him lose the motivation to clean up for a long time.Originally, he wasn't in the mood to think about these details at all. It wasn't until the moment Gu Nanyin walked into the office just now that he realized how stupid his decadent behavior was.

"Mr. Gu, I...I promise! If you are willing to honor me and come again next time, this place will never be like this!"

Gu Nanyin nodded seriously: "I believe in you."

Tang Haotian didn't even prepare to pour tea for Gu Nanyin, because he knew that taking out his broken tea set that hadn't been used for thousands of years would only embarrass him.So he simply put his heart down and did nothing, just concentrate on talking with the guests.

Gu Nanyin briefly explained to Tang Haotian the last time she bought chocolates at a directly-operated store.She felt that Tang's chocolate tasted pretty good, and then asked the other party directly why the once famous food company had fallen to the miserable state it is today.

Hearing Gu Nanyin ask about the situation with such concern, Tang Haotian sighed deeply: "Mr. Gu, you don't know that the reason why our company is on the verge of bankruptcy comes from an accident a few years ago."

"Accidents? But I haven't found any records of fires or other emergencies in your company?"

Tang Haotian frowned and said: "If it is really a natural disaster, we may survive it. But what companies are most afraid of encountering is actually a man-made disaster!"
