Chapter 147: Chapter 147: Li Yehan Seeking Care

Nan Qiao hadn’t returned to the company when Fu Xingyao’s call came through.

"Mr. Qiao, take a look at social media, Zhou Jingya got herself into trouble, it’s like lifting a rock only to drop it on her own feet, she’s too foolish."

Nan Qiao hung up the call and opened the social media app to check, the words "Zhou Group deceit" were followed by an explosive revelation.

After clicking on it, Nan Qiao came to understand the reason behind it.

Zhou Jingya had used machine-woven brocade instead of hand-woven brocade, yet she still charged consumers the price of the hand-made.

The consumers who received the merchandise realized something was off, and after getting it appraised, discovered they had been deceived by Zhou Group.

Extremely angered consumers flooded Zhou Group’s social media with angry comments, and some even blocked the entrance to the company.

The whole incident had caused quite a stir, with everyone shouting for Zhou Group to compensate them.

At this moment, Zhou Jingya was like an ant on a hot pan.

The woman sitting beside her, her face ashen and furious, questioned, "Zhou Jingya, I have warned you not to assume everyone else is as foolish as you by using such shameless means to deceive consumers and tarnish our reputation. You’re too foolish!"

Zhou Jingya being so foolish, how could she defeat Nan Qiao!

The woman’s eyes were venomous, angrily staring at Zhou Jingya.

Zhou Jingya felt awful being scolded and wanted to retort but was too guilt-stricken by the woman’s glaring.

"Sister Qing, I thought nobody would find out, that’s why I did it. Sister Qing, it’s all my fault, what should we do now?"

Liu Qing didn’t want to look at Zhou Jingya, fearing she might lose control and explode Zhou Jingya’s head to see whether there was nothing but shit inside.

Such foolishness, which side of her brain did she even use to think!

Liu Qing was so angry she paced back and forth in the room, her high heels clacking against the floor, a sound that was nerve-wracking.

Zhou Jingya realized the seriousness of the situation but didn’t want to face it and sought a scapegoat.

Zhou Jingya blocked Liu Qing’s path, "Sister Qing, how about we find a scapegoat? I can’t let people know I did it, otherwise, how can I compete?"

Liu Qing said, "You only realize now you shouldn’t have done it? If you had known earlier, would this have happened?"

Zhou Jingya didn’t dare speak, she didn’t know how to handle the situation, and she was scared.

"Sister Qing, save me," Zhou Jingya pleaded, holding onto her arm, looking pitifully at her.

Liu Qing thought deeply, then took out her phone to send a message, ignoring Zhou Jingya.

Zhou Jingya stood aside, not daring to say a word.

At this moment, Zhou Hongqi, furious, entered the room.

The sound of the door being pushed open was loud because of his anger, startling both Zhou Jingya and Liu Qing.

"Zhou Jingya, Liu Qing, what exactly is going on here? How did the hand-woven brocade turn into machine-woven?"

Zhou Jingya, with her head bowed, was too scared to speak.

Zhou Hongqi’s anger was indeed terrifying.

Liu Qing, after sending the message, turned around with a commanding presence and said, "President Zhou, this incident needs thorough investigation to identify where the problem originated."

Zhou Jingya breathed a sigh of relief; as long as Liu Qing didn’t say it was her fault, everything was negotiable.

Clearly, Liu Qing was standing by her.

Zhou Jingya cooperatively added, "Dad, it must be an issue at the factory. Please, don’t worry. Sister Qing and I will go take a look."

Liu Qing announced, "I will take Xiao Ya with us, and we’ll inspect it immediately to restore the company’s justice."

Zhou Jingya and Liu Qing departed, leaving Zhou Hongqi seething with anger.

Just as the company was getting on the right track, it had to face these freak incidents.

...

Nan Qiao sat in her office, also surprised by the incident at Zhou Group.

In the industry, this was a major taboo.

Fu Xingyao mentioned, "Mr. Qiao, I heard Zhou Jingya went to the factory to investigate the cause and to find the person responsible."

Nan Qiao smiled, "Zhou Jingya is playing a thief crying ’stop thief,’ there’s no way she didn’t know about it, just like the designer must have known. Hand-woven brocade and machine-woven brocade are fundamentally different. Couldn’t they inspect the goods? Hand-woven brocade takes a long time to produce and couldn’t possibly be made in such quantity so quickly."

Fu Xingyao agreed, "I heard Zhou Hongqi was furious. According to the investigation, he wasn’t aware of this."

Nan Qiao raised an eyebrow, leisurely sipping her black coffee, "Zhou Jingya has quite the skills now, even skimming off the top for herself."

"Mr. Qiao, I heard Zhou Jingya and the designer are very close. Could they be conspiring against Zhou Hongqi?"

"It’s unlikely; it’s not enough money. Keep investigating and see if the designer is who I think it is."

"Alright."

Fu Xingyao left.

Nan Qiao finished her bitter black coffee and decided to have a bottle of soda to lighten the mood.

She had just taken a sip when the phone rang again. It was a call from Li Yehan.

"Qiaoqiao, are you still busy?"

Nan Qiao realized then that Li Yehan had called a few times, and she hadn’t answered or returned them.

Li Yehan sounded somewhat hurt.

Nan Qiao’s voice lowered a bit, "I was a bit busy today, sorry I didn’t return your calls."

"It’s okay, Qiaoqiao. If you’re busy, then keep at it, and call me back when you’re free."

Nan Qiao: "..."

Such a pitiful tone, along with his chaste face, was too dissonant.

"Qiaoqiao, how about we have dinner together tonight?"

Nan Qiao glanced at today’s agenda and pending issues and said, "Sure, I’ll treat you to dinner tonight."

Li Yehan’s tone was full of jubilation, extremely happy, "Great, then I’ll wait for your call, or should I wait for you at your company?"

Nan Qiao said, "No need, let’s meet at the restaurant."

"Okay, Qiaoqiao, see you tonight."

Li Yehan hung up the phone, all smiles.

When Secretary Zhao came in and saw Li Yehan’s joyous expression, he knew Miss Nan Qiao must have soothed Li Yehan’s restless heart.

"Mr. Li, did Miss Nan Qiao call you? You two have a nice relationship; it’s quite enviable."

"Secretary Zhao, later order me a bouquet of flowers. Qiaoqiao doesn’t like flowers delivered to her office, so I’ll give them when we meet."

Li Yehan could tell, Nan Qiao did like fresh flowers.

Secretary Zhao nodded with a smile, "Sure thing."

After placing the documents down, Secretary Zhao mentioned, "Mr. Li, there’s trouble at Zhou Hongqi’s company. They sold machine-woven brocade as hand-woven, and the purchasers are demanding refunds."

"Zhou Hongqi sure knows how to add drama to his own plot. We won’t interfere; let Qiaoqiao handle it."

His Qiaoqiao, surely prefered to deal with these situations personally.

Secretary Zhao: You spoil her.

Li Yehan indeed spoiled Nan Qiao without limits.

While they were talking, the office door was pushed open.

The man who entered emitted a fierce aura and marched towards Li Yehan.

Secretary Zhao was shocked, "Why is he here?"
