When starch sausages were launched, the results were obvious. Although there were channels to sell them now, not a single one of these hot dogs was sold.
Shen Wei looked at the sales report, his furrowed brow deepening. He said earnestly, "Manager Chen, I told you these starch sausages wouldn't work! Whether it's five fen or fifteen fen, the difference isn't significant for ordinary families! Instead, the word 'meat' has a much greater appeal to consumers.
We need to stop the production of starch sausages. If this situation continues, not only will we fail to break even, but we might even have to pay money out of our own pockets! Manager Chen, let's focus all our attention on developing other flavored meat sausages!"
Seeing Shen Wei's enthusiastic demeanor, Chen Li Shu couldn't help but chuckle. She then rested her chin on her hand and slowly said, "Haven't you heard about the issue with pork? Do you believe that meat sausages will have any sales channels in the near future?"
Shen Wei nodded. After a moment of hesitation, he spoke again, "But the meat we add to the hot dogs is all purchased in advance. Even if there's a problem, it's definitely not with our batch!
In fact, diseases similar to swine flu have occurred before, but they didn't cause any trouble for consumers. Manager Chen doesn't need to worry about taking an unknown path specifically for this reason!"
"But what if I'm doing this purely for revenge against Qin Lan?" A calculating glint flashed in Chen Li Shu's eyes. Shen Wei watched this scene, his heart pounding, and he couldn't help but swallow.
Chen Li Shu leaned back lazily in her chair. Meeting Shen Wei's bewildered gaze, she slowly said, "Did you think I didn't anticipate today's events when Han Liang and the others defected?
Crispy Bone Sausage is just one of the recipes I possess. If possible, I could even launch a new product this afternoon. But playing it this way is no fun, understand?"
Shen Wei nodded as if he understood but not really. Finally, without saying anything coherent, he left the office in a daze.
At Qin Corporation, Qin Lan and Yang Lili met for the first time. They gathered to discuss ways to deal with Chen Li Shu.
"General Manager Yang, I heard you have an important figure who can deal with Chen Li Shu?" Qin Lan asked, crossing one leg and looking quite smug.
Yang Lili sized up Qin Lan. He was powerful and handsome. Her face immediately lit up with a pleasant smile, and she said slowly, "Yes, President Qin, you won't lose out by cooperating with me!"
Qin Lan straightened up, looking at Yang Lili with genuine attention for the first time. He said slowly, "I want to borrow this person from you. Chen Li Shu cannot be touched yet."
Cannot be touched? Yang Lili's smile faltered for a moment, almost collapsing. Suppressing her anger, she asked composedly, "Can President Qin tell me why? That woman has schemed against and provoked you multiple times. You're not actually planning to let her off, are you?"
Let her off? Qin Lan seemed to hear a funny joke. The corners of his mouth curved upwards wildly. He said coldly, "I won't let her off easily! However, it's rare to meet such a challenging woman. I want to find a way to possess her!"
Upon hearing Qin Lan's words, Yang Lili breathed a sigh of relief. He wanted to turn Chen Li Shu into a promiscuous woman. But even knowing Qin Lan's intentions, she still didn't dare to hand over her bargaining chip without reservation.
She couldn't afford to offend Qin Lan. If Chen Li Shu stepped on Qin Lan's shoulders and attacked Xin Xin Group, she would have no recourse.
She had to ensure that Qin Lan got Chen Li Shu, and that she would be disgraced the very next day!
Having thought this through, a hypocritical smile appeared on Yang Lili's face. She said mysteriously, "President Qin wants to possess Chen Li Shu, and I have a way. I can arrange for her to meet you tonight!"
Hearing this, Qin Lan slowly raised his head, meeting Yang Lili's gaze. Seeing the fleeting shrewdness in her eyes, he let out a cold laugh. "Alright, then I look forward to your performance!"

Meanwhile, at Chen's Hot Dog Processing Plant.
Shen Wei ran into the office, sweating profusely, and exclaimed loudly, "Manager Chen, a former employee of your company has come looking for you. They are outside clamoring to get in!"
Chen Li Shu thought they were there to cause trouble. She asked coldly, "Who is it?" and then impatiently said, "Have the security personnel escort them out, or handle it yourself."
Shen Wei nodded, but didn't rush out of the office. He opened his mouth as if he had something to say, but then asked, "Okay, but that person's name is Zhang Bin. He said he has something important to explain about Xin Xin Group. Are you really not going to see him?"
Zhang Bin? Hearing the name, Chen Li Shu paused in her work. "Wait a moment, I'll make a call."
With that, Chen Li Shu dialed Su Nian's number. As soon as the call connected, she got straight to the point, "Have you investigated Wei Xiaohua and Zhang Leilei? What are the results?"
"Madam, Zhang Leilei's leukemia is all fake. However, during my investigation, I found that Zhang Bin was very cautious in his attitude towards his son, as if he had no idea his son's illness was faked!"
Upon hearing this result, Chen Li Shu let out a helpless sigh. "Then send me the investigation results today. I think it's time to resolve this matter."
"Okay, Madam. I'll be right there." With that, Su Nian hung up the phone. She looked up at Shen Wei and said, "Bring that person in."
"Yes!" On the way out, Shen Wei breathed a sigh of relief. He had heard about Zhang Bin's previous contributions to the manager. If he delayed important matters and was blamed, losing his director position would be terrible.
About six or seven minutes later, the office door was pushed open again, and Shen Wei walked in with someone.
It had only been about ten days since he resigned. Zhang Bin's hair was long and messy, and his face was unshaven. His condition was no different from that of a vagrant.
"Manager Chen." Zhang Bin nodded towards Chen Li Shu, then hastily glanced away.
Chen Li Shu gestured to the seat in front of her and said, "Long time no see. Please sit."
"En." Zhang Bin sat down in front of Chen Li Shu, not daring to look at her. He opened and closed his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Chen Li Shu crossed her hands on the table and took the initiative to ask, "What's wrong with Xin Xin Group? What is your purpose in coming to see me this time?"
Zhang Bin pursed his lips, swallowed, then suddenly stood up, slapping his hands on the table, and said excitedly, "Manager Chen, Xin Xin Group wants to deal with you! I don't have time to explain the details now. Tonight… can you come to Ding Pei Hotel after work? We can discuss it in detail then?"
