Li Kai's reaction was faster than Li Dong's expectations.
Li Dong had just chased He Yongfu away when Li Kai made the first move.
It was not Li Kai's style to strike after the enemy had struck. It was also not in his character. He had long been prepared to fall out with Li Dong.
Once He Yongfu's offer was rejected, Li Kai immediately took action.
Just as Li Dong was about to talk to the person in charge, Liu Qi rushed into the new office.
As soon as she entered, Liu Qi said in a panic, "General Manager Li, something has happened!"
"Speak slowly!"
"Four of Pingchuan's shops were exposed to have quality problems. Someone said that the milk sold in the food section had expired. After drinking the milk, there were cases of food poisoning. Many customers blocked the entrance of the supermarket and put up banners! There are many media reporters. General Manager Li … "
"Which store is being blocked?"
"Guanhai Store, Longhua Store, Changjiang Road Store, and Pedestrian Street Store …"
Li Dong's expression changed. These four stores could be said to be the benchmark Far away. They were also the busiest and most popular stores.
Something had happened to these four stores at the same time. The impact was too great.
Li Dong took a deep breath, got up and put on his coat. "Let's go take a look. Have CEO Wang and the rest gone to deal with it?"
"CEO Wang and CEO Shen have gone. General Manager Li, what should we do?"
"What are you panicking for? I know if it's real or fake. It's not that easy to play this game with me! "
Li Dong said as he walked out in a hurry. Along the way, Zhou Haidong and the rest hurried to catch up.
Li Dong said as he walked, "Have you found the evidence? What did the Anti-Gang Team say? "
"They found a few witnesses. But it's been a long time, so it's hard to collect the evidence. The Anti-Gang Team replied that if there's solid evidence, they will take action. If not … "
Zhou Haidong didn't finish his sentence. If Li Dong couldn't provide evidence, the anti-gang group wouldn't help.
Li Kai was not an ordinary person. He had been in Pingchuan for many years. The Public Security Department knew him better than Li Dong.
The Public Security Department even knew who was behind Li Kai.
If Li Dong provided evidence, then there was nothing to say. They would be able to take credit for nothing and bring down Li Kai. The people behind him could not blame them. They could only blame Li Dong for being a busybody.
However, if Li Dong couldn't provide any evidence, then sorry, the anti-gang group didn't want to take the lead.
Although Li Dong had a close relationship with Du Anmin, Jiangbei was not under Du Anmin's control. Unless Du Anmin gave the order, it would be impossible.
Li Dong took a deep breath. A storm was coming!
Li Kai was indeed a veteran. His decisiveness wasn't something an ordinary person could compare to. He took action when he said he would. He was even more decisive than Li Dong.
While Li Dong hadn't collected any evidence, the other party made the first move and messed up Li Dong's plan.
If it wasn't handled well, Li Dong would be in big trouble.
Li Dong gritted his teeth and got into the car. "To the Longhua shop!"
Zhou Haidong started the car immediately. Liu Qi, who got in the car, panted. "General Manager Li, should we let the police handle it first?"
"Did the police go over?"
"About that, I'll call and ask."
Liu Qi quickly made a call. After a while, she said, "The police went over and temporarily controlled the situation. But there's some trouble with the media. The reporters aren't leaving."
"There's no rush. Oh right, what's with the food poisoning?"
"I don't know the specifics. It happened very suddenly. A few customers who bought milk in the morning were suddenly hospitalized in the afternoon. Their families said that there was a problem with the milk in our supermarket. They wanted us to give them an explanation. At first, they wanted us to pay for the milk. Later, they couldn't reach an agreement, so the families put up a banner in front of the shop. "
"Since they negotiated, why didn't I hear anything? Also, why did all four shops have problems and get surrounded? Was there no warning at all? "
Li Dong vented a few words. Liu Qi stammered and couldn't reply.
She had just found out about the matter. She didn't know the specifics. When Li Dong asked her, she could only say that she was blind.
Li Dong took a deep breath and didn't say anything else. He looked at the scenery outside the car and fell into deep thought.
He had underestimated Li Kai. He thought that even if Li Kai wanted to counterattack, it wouldn't be so fast.
After all, both sides had just broken down. Whether they could still talk was uncertain.
Who knew that the guy didn't want to talk at all and just made a move. He didn't spend decades in the underworld for nothing. The timing was very clever.
Far Away wasn't as strong as he imagined.
The newly integrated Faraway Group was in a weak period. At this time, Li Kai made such a move, and Li Dong was about to fall into the vortex.
If it wasn't handled well, it might cause a chain reaction and cause the collapse of Faraway Group.
Li Dong kept telling himself in his heart to calm down. Calm down. He couldn't let Li Kai set the pace.
The food poisoning incident hadn't been exposed yet, and the specific inside story hadn't been found out. At this time, as long as he handled it properly, Li Kai's move wouldn't shake his foundation.
Thinking of this, Li Dong looked up and said to Zhou Haidong, "Get everyone in the security department to investigate what happened to the customers who were poisoned. Contact Wu Jianguo and ask him to help investigate."
After that, Li Dong said to Liu Qi, "Call Zhang Lanyu and tell her that I need her help."
"Got it!"
The two hurriedly responded and began to make phone calls in the car.
…
Far Away Building didn't take long to reach the Longhua store.
About fifteen minutes later, Li Dong's car arrived at the entrance of Longhua Square.
As soon as his car stopped, he was surrounded by media reporters from all directions.
Before Li Dong got out of the car, there was a chaotic roar outside the car. Someone said loudly, "General Manager Li, can you tell us the cause of the food poisoning incident? Far Away sold expired products. Is this true? I heard that many people were poisoned this time. How does Far Away view the food safety issue? "
"General Manager Li, according to the customer's family, the fresh milk sold Far Away was mixed with a strange smell. Didn't the quality supervision department of Far Away notice it before?"
"General Manager Li, Faraway Group has just been established, and this incident happened. What do you have to say?"
"General Manager Li …"
"…"
There were too many people surrounding the car. It took a lot of effort for Li Dong to get out of the car.
Zhou Haidong also hurriedly got out of the car and said loudly, "Everyone, make way. Since General Manager Li is here, he will definitely give everyone an explanation. Don't block the road!"
Li Dong didn't say a word. Under the escort of several security personnel, he went straight to Longhua Square.
At the entrance of Longhua Square, dozens of people were holding banners and shouting loudly.
As soon as they saw Li Dong coming over, these people rushed over, and the police on the scene hurriedly separated them.
A woman in her sixties shouted loudly, "Li, you earned this kind of black-hearted money. You will die a horrible death! If anything happens to my grandson, I won't forgive you even if I become a ghost! "
Another young woman in her thirties also cried, "Boss Li, you are so rich, but you still earn this kind of black-hearted money! We are all from the same hometown. We trust you. Is this how you treat your hometown people? "
"Yes! That's black-hearted! "
"Li will have no descendants. He won't have a good ending!"
"I heard that he has connections with officials. Otherwise, how could he have so much money at such a young age?"
"Yes, we can't just let this go. If he doesn't give us an explanation, we will go to the municipal government, the provincial government! If he doesn't give us an explanation, we will smash his shop and burn it down. It's just a life for a life. We have nothing to lose! "
Li Dong suddenly stopped and stared at the person who had just spoken. He said to Zhou Haidong, "Take him down!"
When Zhou Haidong heard this, he didn't say a word and quickly rushed forward with two people.
The person who had just shouted panicked and shouted, "Where are the police? Murder! Everyone, Li is angry. He wants to kill someone to silence them. Can you all just watch? "
The crowd was in an uproar. The police who were maintaining order also frowned.
Li Dong ignored them and kept staring at the person who had caused a commotion. Just as the crowd was in an uproar, Li Dong said loudly, "Everyone, be quiet. Whether it's right or wrong, I, Li Dong, will give everyone an explanation! But don't give someone with ulterior motives an opportunity. Don't let him leave. I just want to ask, does anyone know this guy? Who in his family is in the hospital with food poisoning? "
When the crowd heard this, they couldn't help but lower their voices.
When the person who had caused a commotion saw the situation, he prepared to run out.
Zhou Haidong and the others had already surrounded him. Before he could run out, he was pressed to the ground by the security guards.
Li Dong looked at the crowd again and saw a few people who were ready to make a move. Li Dong walked to the person who had been arrested and said loudly, "Everyone, don't be anxious. I, Li Dong, may not be a big shot, but I can still take responsibility!
I understand that everyone is anxious, but quarreling won't solve the problem.
If it's necessary to compensate, I will compensate. If it's necessary to pay with my life, I, Li Dong, will pay with my life!
But this is all based on the truth!
To put it bluntly, if anyone thinks that they can use this matter to blackmail me, then I, Li Dong, am not someone to be trifled with!
Some people want to ruin my reputation. To ruin the reputation of Far away, that's just wishful thinking! "
As Li Dong spoke, the security guards Far away, the security guards at Longhua Square, and the police worked together to separate the crowd. Hearing Li Dong's words, although the crowd was still cursing, it slowly quietened down.
At this time, Li Dong also walked in front of the person who had been arrested.
Staring at the person, Li Dong said loudly, "I know you, ZhongTian International employee! What's your relationship with Li Kai? I won't stop you if you say you want to go to the municipal government to seek justice. I won't stop you if you say you want to set fire to Yuanfang. I just want to ask, who in your family was poisoned after eating Yuanfang's food? "
Hearing Li Dong's question, everyone quietened down, waiting for the man's answer.
The man stammered for a while, but seeing everyone staring at him, he quickly shouted, "Can't I do it myself? I drank your milk this morning, and my body is still not feeling well. My head is spinning! "
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, it's like that!"
"Good, you said it, Liu Yuan!"
Li Dong shouted, and the Longhua manager, who was sweating profusely, quickly squeezed over.
Li Dong turned and said, "Can we get the surveillance footage and receipts?"
"Yes."
"Get someone to get the surveillance footage and information immediately. I just want to know, did this ZhongTian International employee buy milk from our supermarket? I also want to know, ZhongTian International is more than 20 stops away from here, why would he buy milk here? "
"Yes!" Liu Yuan quickly replied.
The man on the ground shouted, "I am not a ZhongTian International employee, you are slandering me! I didn't buy the milk myself, my wife bought it for me! "
"Your wife? Are you sure? Then where is your wife? "
"My wife went on a business trip this morning after buying the milk. What are you doing, checking her household registration?"
Li Dong laughed coldly, and looked at Tan Yong in the crowd.
Tan Yong nodded, and immediately shouted, "I know this guy, he is a bachelor, where did his wife come from, liar!"
The crowd was in an uproar again, and the man on the ground hurriedly said, "I have a wife, you are talking nonsense!"
Seeing that the crowd was not as agitated as before, Li Dong let out a sigh of relief, and did not bother with this guy anymore.
Instead, he asked the old woman who spoke first, "Auntie, you said that your grandson drank our milk and was sent to the hospital?"
The old woman quickly said, "That's right, I am not lying, if you don't believe me, you can go to the hospital, my grandson is still there."
Li Dong said softly, "I believe that the old woman would not lie, is it the same for the others?"
Li Dong looked around, there were about 50 to 60 family members who had started the trouble, but after Li Dong asked, only about 7 to 8 of them nodded.
A few of the people who had started the trouble did not dare to make a sound when Li Dong looked at them.
Li Dong snorted lightly in his heart, he knew that it was most likely Li Kai who was playing tricks, but the time was too short, even if Li Kai was playing tricks, he would not have arranged everything in such detail.
As for the other family members, Li Dong furrowed his brows slightly.
He was a little suspicious now, whether it was true or not, these family members did not look like professional troublemakers.
Li Dong believed that he had a good eye for people, the nervousness and resentment on these people's faces did not seem to be faked. If troublemakers were all so professional, what was the point of causing trouble? They might as well be actors.
But now, regardless of whether it was true or not, Li Dong could not admit to it.
Once he admitted to it, Far away's reputation would be ruined.
These thoughts flashed through Li Dong's mind, Li Dong continued, "Do you all drink milk? Or milk today? "
"Yes! We used to buy milk from your house, and it has always been fine. My daughter says that your milk is delicious, and it's not expensive. I've been buying it for almost a year, and this is the first time something has happened. "
"It's the same for us, Boss Li, we are not extortionists. If not for the problem with your milk, we would not have come looking for you. "
"…"
Everyone responded, and after a while, the crowd was in a mess again.
Li Dong saw the situation and quickly interrupted, "Alright, since you all say that it is the milk's problem, then in front of everyone, the media, and the police, I want to see if it is really our milk's problem!"
"Liu Yuan!"
"Yes!" The Longhua branch manager, Liu Yuan, who was sweating profusely, quickly responded.
Li Dong turned around and said, "Is there any milk left from this morning?"
"Yes, yes, General Manager Li …"
"Go and bring it down!"
Liu Yuan was confused. Li Dong frowned and repeated, "I said go and bring all the milk down. All the fresh milk, hurry!"
Although he did not know what Li Dong was going to do, Liu Yuan still quickly said, "Alright, alright, I will go now …"
Li Dong thought for a while and said to the crowd, "If anyone is worried, follow Store Manager Liu up. We will bring the milk down, and we will know soon whether there is any problem with the milk or not. In such a short period of time, it's impossible for Distance Fighter to switch, don't you think? "
"This …"
The crowd thought for a while, and it seemed to make sense.
The milk was drunk in the morning, and there was a problem in the afternoon. After that, they surrounded Faraway Supermarket. In such a short time, they were too busy, and it was impossible to swap the milk.
However, there were still some people who were worried. A few family members came out and followed Liu Yuan and the rest upstairs.
After they left, someone asked, "Boss Li, how are you going to prove that there is no problem with the milk? If you go to the quality inspection department, we will not be at ease. We have to look for it ourselves. "
"Everyone, don't worry. I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer. There are so many people here today. Whether it is real or fake, everyone's eyes are sharp, and they can tell. "
Hearing Li Dong say this, the crowd finally quieted down.
