Chapter 532: Chapter 532: The Tables Turn

The conference room was silent, with everyone’s eyes on Xia Chenyu, waiting for her to respond.

Those unfamiliar with Xia Chenyu might think she spoke without restraint, talking nonsense.

But those who knew Xia Chenyu understood that she would never speak without evidence.

Perhaps Xia Chenyu’s next words would be astonishing, sparking a sensation.

"Of course there will be evidence! As for the mastermind behind the scenes, I will reveal it to you all... Please wait and see! Now, let me introduce a few friends to everyone..."

Xia Chenyu smiled, turned her head to the side, and looked toward the entrance on the east side of the conference room. Then, she gently clapped her hands three times.

As her clapping ended, a woman and two men entered through the eastern entrance of the conference room, one after another, and stood at the base of the stage.

These three individuals were around their forties in age, and by their attire, they didn’t seem to be employees of the Beauty Company but rather public officials from a certain department.

The trio’s faces were pale, their expressions dim, heads hanging low, as if reluctant to meet others’ eyes.

The nearly one thousand people in the meeting room gazed at the three curiously, murmuring among themselves, wondering what Xia Chenyu meant by having them appear.

Could it be that Xia Chenyu’s so-called evidence was related to these three people?

Clang—

Within the lavish European-style villa in Zhongzhou City, Li Dongyang’s face immediately stiffened with the smile freezing on his lips as he saw the three individuals appearing on the television. His hand loosened, and the glass of red wine he had just filled dropped, spilling all over him.

"President Li, what’s wrong?"

Seeing Li Dongyang staring wide-eyed and speechless, Shen Huanian, sitting opposite him, asked with a frown.

"Why are they there... how could they be at the Beauty Company..."

Li Dongyang pointed at the three on the television, his voice trembling as he spoke, his previously calm and collected demeanor completely replaced by panic.

"You know those three people?"

Seeing Li Dongyang’s troubled expression, Shen Huanian’s frown deepened, a sense of foreboding also brewing within him.

"They’re from the Zhongzhou Health Inspection Bureau. The batch of products that the Beauty Company sent for inspection was in their charge..."

Li Dongyang muttered to himself, dropping onto the sofa with sweat already beading on his forehead.

Shen Huanian’s heart skipped a beat. He knew that the Health Inspection Bureau’s staff would not appear in the Beauty Company’s conference room for no reason. Could it be that Li Dongyang hadn’t secured them well, and they were preparing to turn on him?

"Didn’t you say you had already bribed them heavily? What is this then?"

Shen Huanian asked with a dark face, coldly interrogating.

Li Dongyang replied, "How would I know? I gave each of them a million. Moreover, I have evidence of their corruption. If they turn, not only will they lose their jobs, but they might also be imprisoned..."

"That’s good..."

Shen Huanian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If those three don’t want their reputations completely ruined, they probably won’t dare to talk nonsense. But it’s strange... Why would they show up at an event like this?"

"Who knows! Let’s just watch and see..."

Li Dongyang’s eyes were glued to the TV screen, not blinking once, his heart hanging in suspense.

"Perhaps you don’t recognize these three friends, so now, let me introduce them to you!"

In the multi-functional conference room on the third floor of the Beauty Company, Xia Chenyu’s smile seemed to grow broader as she stretched out her slender fingers, pointing to the three people standing in front of the podium, introducing them one by one: "These three friends all come from Zhongzhou Health Inspection Bureau. The one in the middle is Mr. Zhu Guowei, on the left is Mr. Niu Dezhi, and on the right is Miss Ma Li..."

Some people in the conference room heard the words "Zhongzhou Health Inspection Bureau" and immediately thought of the product inspection report issued by this institution for the Beauty Company yesterday.

The report concluded that the lead and mercury levels in Beauty Company’s products were seriously exceeded, a verdict that nearly dealt a fatal blow to the company and became a reason for the public to criticize the Beauty Company vehemently.

But what were the people from Zhongzhou Health Inspection Bureau doing here at this time? Could it be that there was some change in yesterday’s inspection conclusion?

Xia Chenyu cleared her throat and said, "That’s right, just as some friends are thinking, our friends from the Health Inspection Bureau are here today to make a new statement regarding yesterday’s inspection conclusion... Mr. Zhu, Mr. Niu, Miss Ma, please."

Xia Chenyu said this while looking toward the three people standing in front of the podium—Zhu Guowei and the others.

Zhu Guowei and the others trembled visibly when Xia Chenyu mentioned their names, then they looked up to the stage, and when they met Fang Bai’s smiling eyes, they felt a chill in their hearts, as if they had seen a demon.

"Friends, my name is Zhu Guowei, and I am currently the director of the cosmetic inspection department of the Zhongzhou Health Inspection Bureau..."

Zhu Guowei hesitated for a moment, and then, as if he had made a great decision, he raised his head to face the thousands sitting in the room, saying with a heavy heart, "Yesterday, due to errors in our work, my colleagues Niu Dezhi, Ma Li, and I made a wrong conclusion after inspecting the products submitted by the Beauty Company. We would like to offer our sincere apologies to the Beauty Company, all of Beauty Company’s customers, and the entire Huaxia nation!"

As Zhu Guowei spoke, he, along with Niu Dezhi and Ma Li, bowed deeply first to the thousands in front of them and then to Xia Chenyu and the others on the stage. When they straightened up, their expressions were filled with sorrow, their eyes reddened, a clear sign of remorse.

"Director Zhu, since your conclusions were wrong, does that mean that the Beauty Company’s products don’t have quality issues?"

The female reporter who asked Xia Chenyu shouted out loud.

Zhu Guowei nodded vigorously, saying assertively, "Yes! After our re-inspection, we have overturned the previous conclusion. We hereby announce: Beauty Company’s products have no quality issues, fully meet national standards, and consumers can use them with confidence! This is our new inspection report..."

As he spoke, he took out a new inspection report on Beauty Company’s products and showed it to the journalists present.

The television camera also focused on his hands holding the inspection report, broadcasting it live to the nation.

Zhu Guowei’s public admission of error and the overturning of the previous day’s inspection conclusion restored Beauty Company’s reputation. This news was explosive enough to cause a huge stir on the scene, and also triggered outrage among viewers watching the live broadcast at home, who scorned the dereliction of duty by Zhu Guowei and his colleagues.

Posts condemning Zhu Guowei and his colleagues and supporting Beauty Company quickly appeared online, followed by countless comments.

An interesting phenomenon was that many netizens praised the president of the Beauty Company, Xia Chenyu, saying that she had a beauty that could launch a thousand ships, and with such a beautiful appearance, she clearly was kind-hearted, and her company could not possibly be unethical.

Other netizens remarked that those celebrities who generally preen and pride themselves on their beauty paled in comparison to President Xia of the Beauty Company. In the whole of Huaxia, only "National Sweetheart" Ye Wumei could possibly rival President Xia.
