"A women's clothing brand?!"

Wen Yao looked at Jiang Tang with surprise and delight.

"Are you ready?"

Jiang Tang smiled.

"I think I'm ready, but let's wait a while longer."

"Okay, if you need anything, just let me know."

But then I thought, what kind of help would the eldest daughter of the Jiang family need from me?

After Jiang Tang nodded, her face immediately fell into a worried expression.

"However, after I told my dad about this, he actually said that instead of wasting time on this, I should hurry up and go on a blind date with so-and-so's son."

Jiang Tang lost all interest as soon as she mentioned this. Wen Yao remembered that Jiang Tang had said she never planned to get married in her life.

"Didn't you say you weren't planning to get married? Jiang Han is the one in charge of your family now. As long as Jiang Han doesn't force you, your father can't control you, right?"

"He can't control me, but he keeps nagging me."

Wen Yao, as you know, my parents have a bad relationship; their marriage was arranged, which left a deep scar on me. That's why I swear I will never get married again.

Wen Yao comforted her.

"It's okay, just pretend you didn't hear it in the future. Anyway, if you want startup funds or something, Jiang Han will definitely give them to you. If he doesn't, I can invest in you."

Jiang Tang sighed.

"Okay, staying with my dad is really not good for my mental state. I'll come visit you when I go back to Haicheng, and I'll try to talk to him as little as possible."

At this point, Jiang Tang finally felt a little better.

After the two finished their meal, Jiang Tang packed some snacks for Ji Fu to take back with her.

That night, Wen Yao and Tang Zhen stayed in the new house in Xishan Prefecture, preparing to return to Haicheng the next day.

But the next morning, Tang Zhen hurriedly entered Wen Yao's room with his phone in hand.

"Young Miss, something terrible has happened! Mingzhenfang is trending on social media."

Wen Yao had just woken up and, still somewhat dazed, took the phone that Tang Zhen handed her.

"There are reports online that a reporter infiltrated the pearl island's aquaculture base and revealed that we feed the mussels chemical nutrients containing harmful ingredients."

Wen Yao frowned and immediately sat up in bed.

"A reporter? Where did this reporter come from?"

Tang Zhen shook his head.

"Not only that, but many bloggers on the internet have also forwarded the message, saying that the pearls from Mingzhenfang are poisonous pearls and that using them for a long time will cause leukemia."

Tang Zhen even showed Wen Yao videos from the internet, all featuring top-tier internet celebrities with millions of followers, and the entire internet was flooded with negative information about Mingzhenfang.

"I am a PhD in chemistry. The pearls used by Mingzhenfang are typical toxic pearls. Feeding the oysters with chemicals during the pearl formation stage can make the pearls produced by the oysters plump, pure and shiny. However, such pearls are harmful to the human body and can cause leukemia over time. Please unite and resist unscrupulous merchants."

Wen Yao was furious after watching just one video.

"The clams on Pearl Island feed entirely on natural plankton; they are just trying to smear us."

"Yes, but Miss, this rumor is getting worse and worse. Consumers don't care whether it's a smear campaign or not."

Yes, ever since the internet, spreading rumors has always been easy, but debunking them is not so simple.

Wen Yao understood this principle as well; the comment section under Mingzhenfang was now in chaos.

“My family also raises pearls. Their Mingzhenfang products look suspicious at first glance, and where would they get so many big pearls?”

“I’m from Pearl Island. Their pearl farms always have a foul stench that turns the seawater black, so I would never buy pearls from Mingzhenfang.”

"Just look at Wen Yao's video to see who is actually buying Mingzhenfang's products. I didn't expect there would actually be someone buying Mingzhenfang's pearls."

"Exactly! When buying expensive jewelry, it's best to stick to established brands. I take my wife to Mingfu Jewelry every year; these kinds of reputable brands give me peace of mind." (Refurbished photo)

Just then, Liu Yiqing called Wen Yao.

"Hey?"

After the call connected, Liu Yiqing hurriedly said...

"Chairman Wen, I swear, I have always fed the clams natural plankton, absolutely not any harmful chemically synthesized food. This must be someone slandering me. Chairman, you must believe me."

Finally, a company was willing to buy her pearls, and Liu Yiqing was terrified that she would lose her source of income because of this.

Wen Yao still believed in Liu Yiqing, after all, she was someone the system had given her.

"It's okay, I believe you. But there are a lot of photos of your farm online. Can you tell me who went to the farm recently?"

Liu Yiqing's hands were trembling as she held the phone, and she had to force herself to calm down.

"Who else? Besides the workers coming to work every day, a few days ago a young man in a suit wanted me to supply goods to their family, but I refused him. That's all."

Wen Yao pondered for a second or two

"Wait a minute, do you even know which brand is asking you for the goods?"

"It's Mingfu Jewelry."

Wen Yao and Tang Zhen exchanged a glance, both of them guessing what was going on.

“Young Miss, this is definitely a tactic used by the Ming family against you.”

Wen Yao nodded

"Of course I know. He stirred up a lot of trouble at the Ming Group recently, which caused Mingfu Jewelry's sales to drop significantly. I knew he wouldn't let it go. So this is what he was waiting for me to do."

Liu Yiqing was still unaware of the situation.

"Chairman, what's going on? Could it really be someone from Mingfu Jewelry? Their jewelry sales are so good, why are they targeting us?"

Wen Yao snorted coldly

"Do you think that in such a large country as China, Mingfu Jewelry is the only well-known pearl brand?"

Liu Yiqing understood Wen Yao's meaning and felt a little guilty.

"I'm sorry, Chairman, I should have told you at the time."

"It's alright. Their methods are dirty. You can continue raising pearls. Don't worry too much."

Then the two hung up the phone.

Tang Zhen looked worried.

"Miss, what should we do? If we don't turn around our reputation quickly, no one will buy from Mingzhenfang anymore."

Wen Yao was also a little undecided for a moment.

"Let the company issue a statement first, then let's go back to Haicheng."

"it is good."

Then the two set off.

After getting off the plane, I turned on my phone and found that the public outcry had not subsided but had intensified.

Videos of people splashing ink at the entrance of Mingzhenfang are still being uploaded online, drawing cheers in the comments section.

"Well done! Capitalists are profiting from human suffering."

"Why didn't you call me? There's a Mingzhenfang store downstairs from my house too. Brothers, wait for my good news!"
