They spent a whole day together, which was incredibly pleasant.
Returning home and lying on the bed, looking at the photos, Zhan Bei Jue's heart was in turmoil for a long time.
Half a month ago, in the small town, Jiang Nan Fang had said such things to him.
He thought their relationship was over.
But today, he finally saw hope again.
Love for someone cannot be hidden.
They say if you close your eyes, it will escape through your mouth.
If you close your mouth, it will show through your actions.
Loving someone makes it impossible to resist drawing closer to them.
He couldn't help but move closer to Jiang Nan Fang, and the same was true for her.
Even though she wouldn't admit it.
But Zhan Bei Jue felt it clearly today.
She had him in her heart.
After handling this public relations crisis, he would temporarily put aside his work.
Even if he had to seek out the best doctors worldwide, he would cure Ke Teng.
As long as he didn't owe Ke Teng, Jiang Nan Fang would surely reconcile with him!
It had been a long time since he felt his heart beat so vibrantly.
He was so happy!
However, as it turned out, Zhan Bei Jue was happy a bit too soon.
He stayed up all night, excited, and arrived at the company the next morning. The head of the public relations department rushed over.
"Mr. Zhan, why was your phone off yesterday? We couldn't reach you all day, and Assistant Zhou didn't know where you were."
"The product investigation results are out, and there are indeed problems."
"What's more, the testing agency published the investigation results online without informing us. The netizens' reaction is very strong now. Please take a look."
What?
The product really had problems?
Impossible.
Li Shi Yan was a well-known entrepreneur in the industry. Before New Vision was sold to them, its sales had always been good, and there had never been any issues.
How could problems be found right after they took over?
Zhan Bei Jue took the tablet from the supervisor and looked. The article published by the testing agency clearly listed the problems, one by one.
Indeed, some unscrupulous staff had used their positions to implant a hypnosis function into the product.
Among tens of thousands of netizen comments, they were all scolding the Zhan Corporation.
"You accepted this garbage product without even testing it. Are you colluding?"
"Hypnotizing customers? It's chilling to think about! I wonder if there's a surveillance function!"
"I'm a single woman living alone, and I've used their products for over two years. My goodness, I don't know how I'm still alive!"
"Zhan Bei Jue, come out! Give us a reasonable explanation. What are you trying to do?"
"Demand the product be taken off the shelves and recalled! Conduct full physical examinations for all customers!"
"I'm already feeling unwell. I almost had an accident on the road today. Zhan Corporation, you must compensate me for emotional distress!"
Because the article wasn't handled immediately, its readership had already reached over two hundred million.
And that was just on Weibo. Across all other platforms, the number was unimaginable.
Even People's Daily reposted the article, specifically criticizing the Zhan Corporation's acquisition.
"As a long-standing group trusted by netizens, such an incident has occurred. Is it due to lax senior management, or a general decline in industry standards?"
"Through this incident, we can see a glimpse of the hidden aspects in various industries that deserve attention."
"Perhaps after this, the electrical industry will undergo a major reshuffle. We urge all departments to strengthen supervision and enterprises to enhance self-reflection and self-inspection awareness."
"Eliminate unscrupulous businesses and provide a clean consumption environment for everyone..."
Not only that, but the Deputy Chief Financial Officer also rushed over to report.
In just one day of public outcry, the Zhan Corporation's stock had fallen by seven percentage points.
All products of New Vision had lost public favor, and the Zhan Corporation would have to wage a grand battle to protect its reputation.
The seventeen billion yuan in hard cash spent on acquiring New Vision had undoubtedly gone down the drain.
Zhan Bei Jue had been in the workplace for nearly ten years and had witnessed many industry rivalries.
But he had never seen one with such momentum.
He didn't care about losing money.
But to frame the Zhan Corporation and smear its name? He would never allow it!
"Mr. Zhan, what do we do now?"
"Issue a lawyer's letter and, according to the acquisition responsibility clauses, pursue legal action against Li Shi Yan."
"Promise the netizens that we will clarify the truth within three days. Don't let rumors spread. Sue all the marketing accounts with over a thousand likes."
The head of public relations immediately set about carrying out the instructions.
As soon as Zhan Bei Jue returned to his office, department heads from various sectors approached him.
Some requested order cancellations, some were existing customers inquiring about the situation, and shareholders came to ask about stock matters.
The entire CEO's office was plunged into an unprecedented state of busyness.
Zhou Jin Bei entered with her phone to find Zhan Bei Jue.
"Second Brother..."
"Don't you have hands? Knock before entering?"
"..." He was in a bad mood, so she dared not provoke him and retreated to knock again.
"Come in!"
"Second Brother..."
"Who are you calling Second Brother during work hours?"
"...Mr. Zhan..."
"What is it?"
"Your private phone couldn't be reached, so they called this number. Grandpa is looking for you."
Grandpa?
So soon?
He had rarely concerned himself with company affairs during his years recuperating abroad. How did he find out so quickly?
He knew what his grandfather would say just by thinking about it, so Zhan Bei Jue couldn't be bothered to answer.
"What did he say?"
"He said he's flying back today, along with Eldest Brother..."
"???"
Zhan Bei Jue stared coldly at Zhou Jin Bei for a few seconds, then slowly leaned back in his chair.
"I understand. You can go out now."
His current state was terrifying, so Zhou Jin Bei dared not disturb him further.
She withdrew, but less than a minute later, the office door knocked again.
Zhan Bei Jue was extremely annoyed, "Can't you say everything at once? Zhou Jin Bei, you..."
Zhou Jin Bei pushed the door open, with two solemn-looking staff members standing behind her.
"Mr. Zhan, people from the Technical Safety Supervision Administration are here to see you."
Zhan Bei Jue was summoned for a meeting.
This showed the immense impact of the incident.
However, fortunately, to maintain a safe online environment and avoid unnecessary panic, the Safety Administration stepped in to suppress the matter.
By the afternoon, when Zhan Bei Jue returned, most of the posts discussing the issue had disappeared.
Before he could even settle into his seat, his grandfather had arrived at the airport.
From afternoon until ten o'clock that night, a shareholder meeting was held, and Zhan Bei Jue was occupied in the conference room.
Zhou Jin Bei couldn't offer much help at the company and was sent home to rest by Zhan Bei Jue early on.
That night, Zhan Bei Jue did not return to his apartment.
Zhou Jin Bei endured the night with a heavy heart. The next morning at six o'clock, she received a WeChat message from Zhan Bei Jue, asking her to deliver breakfast to Jiang Nan Fang.
Zhou Jin Bei hurriedly asked him how the situation was being handled, but he did not reply further.
Even at a time like this, he was still thinking about his ex-wife's breakfast. She didn't know what to say about him.
Zhou Jin Bei couldn't sleep, so she got up, bought breakfast, and knocked on Jiang Nan Fang's door.
To her surprise, she was already awake, and the door opened instantly.
Their eyes met. Seeing that Zhan Bei Jue was not behind her, Jiang Nan Fang blinked her big, watery eyes.
"Where is your Second Brother?"
