Wen Yao glanced at the video; it showed a man wearing a mask and carrying a bucket of black liquid, which he poured inside the Mingzhenfang store.

The shop assistants didn't have time to close the door and quickly hid in a corner.

Wen Yao felt somewhat distressed.

"Tell the staff that they don't need to come to work this week; they will be on paid leave."

"it is good."

After receiving the news, Tang Zhen sent a message to the people in the company, saying that all front-line employees of Mingzhenfang were given a holiday and that all stores would be closed before noon today.

A highly upvoted comment suddenly appeared online.

"Friends, the shop assistants are just working people. If we're going to attack someone, we should attack the owner of Mingzhenfang. There's no need to involve the shop assistants."

Perhaps some people are still relatively rational, and this comment received tens of thousands of likes, but it wasn't long before it was swayed by others again.

"What working class? They're all in cahoots, all beneficiaries. The only real working class are us. Haven't you heard that Mingzhenfang has great benefits? This is all hush money."

"Yes, I agree with the comment above. They are all beneficiaries of the system."

“A while ago, I went to Mingzhenfang to buy jewelry while I was heavily pregnant. The shop assistants refused to sell it to me when they saw that I was pregnant.”

“The Mingzhenfang store downstairs from my house has already closed down. It must be because the market supervision and management department is coming to inspect. They are busy replacing the goods now.”

Wen Yao sat in the car and chuckled softly. How come there are even people who make up stories?

At this moment, Wen Yao and Tang Zhen arrived at He Feng Villa.

As soon as the two got out of the car, they were surrounded by a group of people.

"Ms. Wen, is it true that you are selling poisonous pearls, as rumored online?"

"Ms. Wen, why are you selling poisonous pearls to consumers?"

What kind of explanation do you plan to give to consumers?

"..."

Before Wen Yao could react, a barrage of sharp questions rained down on her.

Just as Wen Yao was about to open her mouth to speak, countless microphones were swarming towards her, both wanting to interview her and not giving her a chance to speak.

Just as Wen Yao was feeling helpless, Song Zhiqian's voice suddenly came from not far away.

"What are you doing! This is a private residence, where are the security guards? Get them out of here right now!"

The reporters then calmed down a bit.

Song Zhiqian stepped forward and grabbed Wen Yao's wrist.

"My sister sent me. You two come with me to my house."

As he spoke, he was about to leave.

Wen Yao stood still, not moving an inch.

"Let me say something."

Then, Wen Yao looked at the camera in front of her.

"The pearls sold by Mingzhenfang are all top-quality seawater pearls. The claim that pearls are poisonous is a fabrication, and Mingzhenfang will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly."

Secondly, the person who first broke the news should provide some evidence. I've only seen a lot of photos online, and some of them don't even show the Pearl Island fish farm.

Also, please don't harm the employees of Mingzhenfang. Their compensation is the same as what you'd expect from a normal company; they're just regular salespeople.

After saying this, Wen Yao and Tang Zhen went to Song Zhiqian's house together. Song Zhiqian's house was very close to Wen Yao's Hefeng Villa, and they arrived in no time.

Upon entering, Song Zhen was sitting on the sofa in the living room.

"Wen Yao, you're here. Don't worry, Jiang Han and Lu Zhengran are on their way. Everyone will help you figure something out."

"Thank you, Sister Song Zhen."

Song Zhen pulled Wen Yao to sit on the sofa together.

"By the way, do you know who framed you for this?"

Wen Yao nodded

“It’s Mingshun. The owner of the farm told me that some time ago, employees from Mingfu Jewelry wanted her to supply them, but the owner refused. Since they couldn’t take away my supplier, they resorted to this method to smear me.”

Song Zhen gave her a look of disdain.

"His methods are so dirty. I'm not saying this to be mean, but the Ming family's fate is sealed when they're in his hands."

Upon hearing this, Song Zhiqian became even more furious. He rolled up his sleeves and prepared to go out, looking ready to fight. Fortunately, Song Zhen quickly stopped him.

"Song Zhiqian, where are you going?!"

"I'll go find him!"

"return!"

At Song Zhen's command, Song Zhiqian immediately stopped at the door.

"Do you think he's some spoiled brat your age? You used to use the same tricks on other spoiled brats like yourself, but he's a business tycoon. If you actually go to him today, he could send you to jail. Your parents would have to give him some money before you can get out."

Song Zhiqian hurriedly went back inside.

"Then what do you suggest we do?"

"Let's wait for Jiang Han and Lu Zhengran to arrive before we talk about it."

At this time, they were inside the Ming Group.

Ming Shun couldn't stop smiling as he looked at the online comments.

"Hahahaha, daughter, look! They're all cursing Wen Yao. Let's vent our anger!"

Mingzhu leaned back in her chair, finding the comments quite satisfying.

"Hmm! Dad, I think Mingzhenfang will go bankrupt soon."

"I've already spent five million online. If I still can't kill her, I'm not Ming! Hahahaha."

Just as the father and daughter were having a great time, Mingze suddenly burst in.

"Dad, what's going on? Someone told me that you paid someone online to stir up trouble."

Ming Shun glanced at him.

"Yes, it was me. Could such a huge uproar have happened without spending money to stir up trouble? I not only started the trouble, I did the whole thing!"

Ming Shun leaned back in his chair with a smug look on his face.

"what?!"

Mingze looked at him in disbelief.

"Are you saying that you're spreading rumors about Mingzhenfang selling poisonous pearls?"

Ming Shun felt no shame.

"What? You think I'm shameless?"

"Dad, you can't do this. We're in the same industry, there's no need to treat people like this."

Ming Shun slammed his fist on the table in anger.

"This market is about to be halved, and I'm not going to take advantage of it?! What use are you to me? You're not even as good as your sister. At least your sister knows how to give me advice, but what about you?! You actually went to Haicheng to buy a bracelet from Mingzhenfang. Are you trying to drive me crazy?"

Then he turned to Mingzhu and said...

"Mingzhu! Come to work at the company tomorrow! If you do a good job, I'll give you the company in the future!"

Mingzhu, who had been picking at her nails in the back, was delighted to hear this.

"Thank you, Dad. I'll report for duty tomorrow."

She then said to Mingze

"Brother, what's wrong with you? Why are you always protecting outsiders? Have you forgotten that we're family?"

Mingze explained in a flustered manner

"I'm not defending outsiders..."

“You still say you’re not protecting outsiders? If you were really Dad’s son, you should be offering advice to Dad just like I do.”
