Chapter 77 The context
At this time, Xiaoli straightened up her charming face, smiled cunningly at Bai Shu'an, and said confidently, "Young lady, the document has been finished. Do you need me to translate it for you immediately?"
With a pale and beautiful face, he nodded silently, a pair of bright eyes stared at the person in front of him, and the hands holding the white porcelain teacup unconsciously crossed their fingers tightly.
Xiaoli put the document in front of her, and her slender fingers fell on the paper and outlined a corner with a square lace. Her always sweet voice sounded finely: "Presumably, the young grandmother has also seen it. This is a copy of a news report, taken from the xx newspaper in New York, the United States. The title roughly means the Tang people of Ruan's Group. The restaurant was investigated by the government due to the food poisoning incident.
Here is an introduction that roughly describes the scale of the Ruan Group, the development history of Tangren Hotel for decades and the cause of this incident.
"Let's talk about the cause of this incident directly." Bai Shu'an's tightly locked eyebrows suddenly jumped, just like the dark sparks suddenly rising in her heart. She couldn't wait to know the cause and consequences of the incident, so that she could judge the situation of the people around her and weigh the pros and cons in time.
"Good." Xiaoli continued fluently with little hesitation. "On October 15, that is, more than half a month ago, there was a mass poisoning incident of more than 20 diners in the Manhattan branch of the Chinatown Hotel, known as the New York flagship store of Ruan's Group.
On the day of the incident, the senior management of Ruan's Group immediately sent a professional coordination team to maintain stability and sent more than 20 diners to the best xx hospital in New York for treatment.
The hospital's examination confirmed that all the diners had the same reaction after poisoning, and the remaining toxic substances in the body were the same. The preliminary identification was that the poisoning was caused after eating the food of Tangren Restaurant.
Ruan's Group did not shirk its responsibility. It immediately publicly apologized to the outside world and promised to bear all the medical expenses of all the victims and pay a certain amount of mental damage.
A week later, most of the poisoned diners were cured and discharged from the hospital, leaving only an old overseas Chinese who was over 70 years old. His health has not improved, and it is getting worse and worse.
The patient's family was very anxious, because the old man originally suffered from kidney disease, as well as mild diabetes and hypertension. After this poisoning, the old man's intestinal function rapidly weakened. The key problem was that the original mild kidney disease turned into a kidney cyst.
The most coincidental thing is that the old overseas Chinese is a regular customer of the Tangren Restaurant. The patient's family insisted that it was because of the long-term use of the food of the Tangren Restaurant that the old man's body was severely damaged. Now his life is on the line. I hope Ruan can give an explanation.
The official attitude of Ruan's Group is that it only admits the mistake of food poisoning and does not bear the consequences of complications to the elderly. Therefore, the old man's family, together with several other poisoned people, took the Ruan Group to court.
Things have developed here, and Bai Shu has roughly figured out the whereabouts of the dragon in the future.
Presumably, Jingmin learned this terrible and important news by phone that day, so she rushed to Luo Hanfeng's office for help in a hurry.
Xiao Li looked up at Bai Shu'an, who was meditating, and seemed to remind her clearly: "The poisoning incident is just an introduction, and the highlight is still ahead?"
Yes, the fuse has detonated. Is it burned all the way or rekindled? The road ahead is still remote, and she can't see it at a glance.
Bai Shu calmed up, looked up at Xiao Li, nodded slightly, and motioned her to continue to interpret.
"After that, some media broke a piece of explosive news. It is said that a local senior reporter dug deep into the confidential information for many years. The content of this news is that the Tangren Restaurant of Ruan's Group used its century-old secret recipe to make the famous dish "Damo Sha Roast Beef". In fact, the secret recipe has already changed.
The so-called century-old secret recipe originally used exclusive special beef essence. As an accessory, it can be added to the beef barbecue process, which can make the meat more tender, emit a unique fragrance, and have a strong Chinese flavor. It is a specialty that many old overseas Chinese and even local Americans enjoy talking about.
This kind of beef essence was originally harmless to the human body, but in recent years, it is said that the senior management of Tangren Hotel has made this beef essence into a brand and widely promoted it in order to make more profits. In order to extend its shelf life and maintain the tender taste of beef, Tangren Restaurant added a chemical to the beef essence.
It is not a big problem to eat this substance occasionally, but if it is eaten for a long time or in large quantities, it is mildly manifested as headache, insomnia, irritability and irritability, while in severe cases, it is characterized by shortness of breath, bradycardia, and even damage to the internal organs of the human body to varying degrees, which can cause death.
Xiao Li's voice was not tight or slow. Occasionally, she looked up and saw the pale and beautiful face opposite her. A pair of bright eyes gradually became dim, like the gloomy sky outside the window, making the atmosphere in the tea room strangely dull.
Xiao Li Gu took a deep breath and continued to say, "After this news was exposed, Ruan's official immediately came out to refute the rumors, did not admit the content of the report, saying that it was a malicious and malicious person deliberately slandered, and threatened to find this person and then bring him to justice.
However, at this time, the hospital presented a test report, which was said to be the result of repeated tests of the food left in the bodies of many poisoned people, and it was found that there were indeed toxic chemicals exposed in the newspaper.
That's why we have the newspaper we are reading now. Because the local government of the United States has officially filed a case for investigation yesterday, a number of police officers went deep into the Tangren Hotel and seized a batch of "Tangren brand beef essence" in the warehouse, which is currently under inspection..."
After listening to Xiao Li's explanation, Bai Shu'an's tight heart has been falling heavily on her chest. She couldn't breathe at all, and her mind also became ethereal. Her mind began to unconsciously replay a smile about Jing Min. That kind of deep sadness was indescribable.
Who would have thought that a sudden food poisoning incident would cause such a big uproar. The Ruan Group, which has accumulated half a century of foundation, has been defeated in one fell swoop. The Ruan, who was originally famous and stable as Taishan, became shaky in this way...
If the incident continues in this direction, and Ruan's building collapses, Jing Min, what should she do?
Bai Shu'an's hands holding the teacup unconsciously clenched again.
But I heard Xiao Li's sweet voice sounded again.
"Don't you think all these events are too coincidental? Food poisoning, shocking revelations, hospital inspection proves that this pile, piece, if it is heavy, interlocked, the spearhead is pointed directly at the Ruan family, and from the surface, the human evidence and material evidence are complete, this net is simply impeccable.
Yes, even Xiaoli saw the twists and turns in it. How could Bai Shu'an not know it? However, she couldn't let Xiaoli see what she was thinking, let alone let it know the position of Luo Hanfeng and Luo Jingmin in this incident, so she pretended not to understand and asked her: "You mean that someone is in the curtain. After the instructions, the manipulation controlled all this?
"The shopping mall is like a battlefield. The Ruan's group has been beautiful for so many years. Even if some enemies are established, it is inevitable. However, this time, Ruan seems to be under the enemy. At the beginning of this battle, there seems to be no room for help, and it has been defeated. Imagine, if it weren't for the person who knew the inside story and operation of the Ruan family very well, how could he have designed this deadly trick?
Xiao Li was really smart. Bai Shu'an had to calm down and calmly replied, "You're right. The enemy faced by the Ruan family this time is very strong. Judging from the current situation, the Ruan family is completely weak. Do you think there is any turning point in this incident?"
Xiao Li seemed to think very seriously for a moment before looking straight at her with a pair of charming eyes and replied with a smile, "From the current situation, it's more bad and less lucky..."
He smiled again, "But no matter how strong the enemy is, Ruan's Group has its own solid backing here after all. Chairman Luo will not stand by and watch, so it's hard to tell... I just don't know if you want it to win or lose?"
Bai Shu'an's indifferent and white face also smiled, and a trace of hidden ridicule appeared in the bottom of her heart.
He sighed in his heart: "It turned out that she was still too smart. She actually felt that the cause of this business war was related to her, but she can't blame it all. Who told her to let go of a good life of Mrs. Luo's young lady in private to please her, the little secretary?"
He picked up the teacup and took a sip, and his confused eyes fixedly locked the charming face. At this moment, Bai Shu'an's tone deliberately showed a little softness and said lightly, "Of course, I hope that Mr. Ruan can get through this difficult time smoothly. Although my mother and we are two places apart, the blood is thicker than water, and no one can stop it. This family affection, I think Han Feng must also think so.
The starlight suddenly rising in Xiaoli's eyes gradually went out, and her eyes became a little confused. Maybe she was struggling to think about what kind of calculation the calm young grandmother in front of her was playing and what benefits she could win in her game of chess.
"Don't worry, I won't go up with what I promised you."
Bai Shu'an immediately satisfied her curiosity. The smile on her face seemed to be approachable, but a pair of bright eyes clearly revealed a little nobleness and arrogance, and her gentle tone was enough to make the listener let go of their hearts.
"If it hadn't been for such a big thing at home, I would have spoken to Hanfeng immediately. But now I'm afraid that he has no time to take care of personnel transfer for the time being, and if you are transferred, you really can't find a capable person like you in the group to be qualified for the position of secretary of the general manager for a while.
"Don't worry, young grandma, it's a blessing for Xiaoli to be able to serve the young grandma. How can Xiaoli have other ideas in her heart." The charming melon seed face showed a just right attentive smile. Although it was only one table away, Bai Shu'an still felt that this face was a little mechanical because there were too many fake smiles.
"That's good." Bai Shu'an casually took the documents on the table and stuffed them into the pink and white cowhide satan bag next to her. She was about to put the bag on her shoulder. She stood up and looked at her condescendingly and smiled gently, "Let's talk about it today. I'll contact you again. You wait for my good news."
Then the little girl who got up nodded obediently and looked at her lift the curtain and pushed the wooden door out of the box. Then she withdrew her thoughtful gaze and turned her eyes to the gloomy window...
*****
Bai Shu'an drove through the bustling streets and alleys, crossed the rural roads in the suburbs, and ran on the mountain road in the golden autumn, all the way to Luoyuan.
The window of the car was half open, and a large area of cool autumn wind poured in fiercely, fiercely blowing on her white face, with strong tingling pain, but she didn't realize it.
The dull chest suppresses pain, entanglement and suffering. For example, in this autumn cloudy afternoon, the dark pressure spreads the sky, as if a storm will fall at any time, sweeping away all the green in the field.
The thoughts and doubts in my mind are all about Luo Hanfeng...
What role did he play in this incident?
He looked completely ignorant in front of Jingmin. He cheated Jingmin, but he couldn't deceive himself.
Is it true that he tried his best to collect this information to help Ruan Lingqiu find a way? Oh, this is a big joke!
He has been preparing for many years and planning strategies; he is painstakingly alone and hiding from the sky. If this day has really come, who is his goal?
