Chapter 184 - 184 After modification 184 Evil Scheme

184: After modification: Chapter 184 Evil Scheme 184: After modification: Chapter 184 Evil Scheme Are there any hormones to improve meat quality?

If there were, they should be incredibly expensive.

How could Wu Xiaoyu afford them?

“Is what you’re saying true?” Chen Zhaofeng asked hesitantly.

Seeing him so calm, Liu Sheng couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed.

It seemed this old man wasn’t that easy to deceive!

Liu Sheng adjusted his wording and continued, “He stays on the mountain every day, I hardly get the chance to observe him closely.”

“But…

the people who come to pull the goods seem to send him a package every day, but I haven’t seen any new items at his place.

What they’re sending must be the hormones!”

Chen Zhaofeng, long experienced in business, rarely gets into conflicts with others.

But once someone threatens his interests, he knows exactly where to strike.

This is why his Juxian Inn has remained standing in Longhe Town.

Now, just listening to Liu Sheng’s side of the story, Chen Zhaofeng couldn’t yet determine whether Wu Xiaoyu had indeed injected hormones into the chickens.

His mind was unsettled.

Not hearing Chen Zhaofeng’s reply for a long while, Liu Sheng thought maybe he was backing down.

He had to add fuel to the fire, “Boss Chen, actually it’s easy to find out if he used hormones.

Just let the Quarantine Bureau inspect them, isn’t it?”

“If he used them, wouldn’t it be perfect to catch him red-handed?

If he didn’t, it wouldn’t harm you either!

Moreover, during the inspection process…

you know?”

Chen Zhaofeng had initially thought Liu Sheng was just a greedy, incompetent man, but hearing his words, he couldn’t help but feel a bit impressed.

“Are you suggesting we use some tricks to ensure his chickens, whether they’ve been injected with hormones or not, end up being labelled as hormone chickens?” Chen Zhaofeng smiled as he spoke.

Liu Sheng was pleased to hear his suggestion hit the mark.

It seemed his brain was still quite useful!

Even better than the major tycoons in this town!

He thought, “I haven’t succeeded yet because of bad luck.

If given a chance, I’d be much better than the worthless Wu Xiaoyu.”

“Boss Chen, you truly have great insight!

How else could you become such a major boss?

So…

do you think this plan is feasible?” Liu Sheng flattered and probed.

Chen Zhaofeng didn’t know what grudge Liu Sheng had against Wu Xiaoyu, but he liked the plan.

The only problem was how to intervene in the inspection process.

He had no connections with the Quarantine Bureau, didn’t know anyone there, and the same went for Liu Sheng!

As Chen Zhaofeng was fretting about whether to spend some money on this matter and how much to spend, he suddenly remembered a rumor from a few days ago.

The person delivering meat to the slaughterhouse said their factory director seemed to have a grudge against Jiji, and the slaughterhouse had notably good relations with the Quarantine Bureau.

If he could leverage Wang Baishan’s influence, wouldn’t he achieve it effortlessly?

“Alright, you don’t need to worry about this.

Just wait for the show!” said Chen Zhaofeng.

Liu Sheng was overjoyed and excited upon hearing the confirmation, and hesitantly said, “Boss Chen, you know…

Wu Xiaoyu and I, after all, are from the same village.

You see…”

Chen Zhaofeng understood his concern and said, “Rest assured, this matter won’t implicate you.

Someone will write the report.”

“That’s good…

that’s very good!

But Boss Chen, shouldn’t you give me some benefits?

After all, it’s my idea!” Liu Sheng said.

Though Chen Zhaofeng despised Liu Sheng, he wouldn’t break his promise and said: “Don’t worry!

Once it’s done, the money will be yours!”

After hanging up the phone, Liu Sheng couldn’t help but jump up with glee.

Damn it!

Wu Xiaoyu, let’s see how arrogant you can get!

In no time, your shabby chicken farm will be shut down, and maybe you’ll end up in jail!

By then, you’ll be the bad guy everyone wants to torment, and the villagers naturally won’t believe your nonsense.

Then I can clear my name!

His parents in the next room heard the commotion and shouted, “Sheng, what are you doing up?

What else do you want to mess with!”

Upon hearing his parents’ scolding, Liu Sheng’s face turned dark again.

His parents weren’t on his side either.

It was all Wu Xiaoyu’s fault!

Damn it!

Let’s wait and see!

I want to see how you’ll meet your end!

In Wu Xiaoyu’s view, Liu Sheng was just a jealous and proud man with no skills and was worthless, so he naturally didn’t pay attention to him.

Moreover, now the villagers knew about his chicken theft; he should be quiet for a while.

If he were wise, he would lay low and go back to Guangdong Province to work.

In any case, Wu Xiaoyu didn’t expect Liu Sheng to collaborate with others to frame him.

Thus, he was completely off guard against Liu Sheng, spending his days either practicing or checking the construction progress of the sauce factory in the fields.

Seeing the sauce factory nearing completion and business in the shop getting on track, Wu Xiaoyu felt somewhat prideful.

But Zhou Dong, managing Jiji in the town, had become increasingly worried.

A few days ago, the shop was bustling, but now it’s suddenly deserted.

Was Juxian Inn running some promotional campaign, or was there a new dish?

Zhou Dong sent people to investigate repeatedly, discovering that although Juxian Inn had gradually regained its former prosperity, there were no discounts or new dishes.

What was the cause behind this fluctuation?

The shop’s waiters observed for several days and found that in the few remaining diners’ dishes, there was no sign of chicken meat.

You know, Jiji’s signature dishes were all chicken-based!

The waiters reported this to Zhou Dong, making him even more curious.

The native chickens were the restaurant’s foundation; why had they fallen out of favor?

Zhou Dong couldn’t resist his curiosity and casually asked a few regular customers in the shop, finding out that there was a rumor among the town’s gourmands that Jiji’s chickens had been treated with hormones.

Food safety is a widely concerned issue nowadays.

Once people heard that Jiji’s chickens were hormone-fed, naturally, diners wouldn’t come back.

Even those whose taste buds were conquered by Jiji’s chefs, couldn’t resist but came back to dine, dared not order chicken anymore.

Knowing Wu Xiaoyu’s character, Zhou Dong was sure he wouldn’t do something so immoral.

Besides, he partnered with him to open Jiji, so he wouldn’t sabotage his own business.

This was clearly someone’s malicious slander.

To ruin someone’s livelihood is like killing their parents; only people like Chen Zhaofeng and Wang Baishan could commit such an act.

They were competitors with him, although on the surface things were cordial, they were already at daggers drawn.

The other had directly clashed with him, repeatedly sending people to create trouble.

No matter which of them propagated the rumors, Zhou Dong couldn’t take it lightly, but he didn’t want to reveal this to Wu Xiaoyu.

One reason is he feared Xiaoyu would act rashly and make irreversible mistakes.

Another is if everything had to be solved by Wu Xiaoyu, what value did he, as a partner, have?

After much consideration, Zhou Dong decided to clarify the rumors, first by posting a large notice at the shop’s entrance, condemning unethical peers for spreading false rumors, and then personally tasting the chicken at the entrance to prove the truth.

Before he could implement these measures, a group of uniformed officers stormed into the shop, ordering them to cease operations for rectification, throwing Zhou Dong into a panic.

He quickly inquired about what was happening.

The leader saw his sincere attitude and courtesy, thus revealing that someone had reported Jiji’s use of hormone-treated chickens.

This made Zhou Dong even more furious.

It seemed the opponent was aiming for a heavy blow!

Zhou Dong first let the cooks and waiters go on holiday, then hurriedly called his father, asking him to find someone to investigate the matter.
