Li Jiayu switched on the TV. He was cursing in his heart. If this news had nothing to do with the company, he must fire this assistant! He had come to the company at night. Do you think I am working overtime like you?!
"That's all for today's < Oriental Horizon > special program. Later, please tune in to < Focus Interview >!"
Li Jiayu looked at the clock on the wall. This was not right. Every day, < Focus Interview > will be aired first, followed by < Oriental Horizon >. Why was < Oriental Horizon > aired at this time?
"What is this program talking about? What do you want me to watch?"
"Manager Li, this is a special program. It is talking about health supplements!" The assistant said.
"Health supplements? What's wrong with health supplements? "Li Jiayu stood up.
"Manager Li, < Focus Interview > will be airing soon. You will know when you watch it."
… …
"Manager Le, our Energy of Life is on < Oriental Horizon >."
"Oh? Really? Hahaha, even < Oriental Horizon > is reporting about our products? Seems like it is impossible for our products not to be popular. "Manager Le laughed." Oh, how are they praising us? "
"Manager Le, they are not praising us. They are saying that there are problems with the ingredients in our products! Also, it is related to false advertising. Someone from CCTV had called us to remove our commercials. Also, according to the contract, we are not getting a refund! "
"What? There are problems with the ingredients in our products? What's wrong with the commercials? "Manager Le was shocked.
"There are a few ingredients that are not enough. Also, the slogan in our commercials, 'Unlock the potential of life, extend the journey of life', is also not up to standard. This is false advertising. Experts had verified that our products do not have this effect. They said our products are just a mixture of vitamins and protein!"
Manager Le was indeed a big boss. He reacted quickly. "Inform the factories immediately to stop the production of the Energy of Life. Also, inform the sales staff to stop accepting new orders for the Energy of Life! Lastly, find out what is wrong with the ingredients in our products! "
… …
The bosses of the health supplements industry were making emergency measures. Some of them even ran away with their companies' cash. They knew that the government will be cracking down on them. If they do not run away now, not only they will lose their money, they will also be jailed!
The one who suffered the most was Li Jiayu, because he was the one who made the most fake health products. Other people would at least have some vitamins and protein content. But the Chinese Turtle Essence was a product that was reported by the < Focus Interview >. It was actually a mixture of saccharin and water. Yes, all kinds of harmful bacteria like E. coli!
Fake was not enough to describe this Chinese Turtle Essence!
After today's < Eastern Horizon > and < Focus Interview > were broadcasted, the entire country was shaken!
They had heard of many of these health supplements, and many of them had even bought them before. Some were gifts, some were for their parents, some were for their children, and some were for themselves. Those who bought the medicine with insufficient ingredients were still fine, but those who bought the completely fake medicine were almost going crazy with anger!
They called their relatives, friends, and colleagues to tell them that these health supplements could not be eaten! Especially the Chinese Turtle Essence and the others. They were all fake medicines! Not to mention that the effects of the advertisement were completely ineffective, and it was not clean at all. There were a lot of germs, and it was easy to get sick after eating it!
…
"Mum, have you drunk the Chinese Turtle Essence I bought for you?"
"What do you want me to drink? What you bought are not health supplements? The TV station had exposed that it was fake. Are you hoping that I will die early? "The old lady said angrily.
"Mum, I also did not know that this was fake. Please don't drink it again. I will buy some fruits for you tomorrow, and we will go to the hospital for a check-up to see if there are any problems with your body."
"Where did you buy it from? Tomorrow, we will go and look for them to get a refund! Refund is not enough. We still need to call the Police to arrest them! "The old lady said angrily.
"Fine. Mum, even if you don't ask me, I will also go and look for them. But can we go to the hospital for a check-up first? Also, did my dad drink it? Don't eat any health supplements now. If you need some supplements, we can go to the pharmacy to buy health supplements. I heard there are no problems with those supplements. "
… …
The people had made up their minds. They must not let these unscrupulous businessmen off! Also, those shops and shopping malls that were selling these products!
The calls from the Trade and Industry Bureau and police stations were exploding. Today, they had received more complaints and police calls than a year ago! Also, all these people had the same motive. They want the police to close down those shops that were selling fake medicines and arrest those who were selling them. They want compensation for their losses!
There were also those who were quick-witted. Not only did they ask for financial losses, but they also asked for medical expenses, mental damage, and so on.
At this time, a young man living in a courtyard house in Beijing was reading a newspaper. The newspaper was advertising a health supplement. If it was fake, the compensation would be 10 times! He rolled his eyes and thought of a good way to make money — claim compensation! His name was Wang Dahai!
… …
"Contact Li Jiayu immediately and inform all the members of the City's Standing Committee to gather in the meeting room within 15 minutes! Also, inform the Trade and Industry Bureau, Police Department, Health Department, and other relevant departments to gather! "The Party Secretary of the city where the Chinese Turtle Essence was sold was on the phone. After hanging up, he took his coat and rushed out of the house. He did not even bring his teacup with him.
… …
"Tomorrow morning, no. Tonight, the Trade and Industry Bureau and Health Department will take all those health supplements off the shelves. They will conduct a thorough investigation and will not allow any problematic products to be sold! Also, all the shops that are selling fake medicines will be closed down and punished severely! "
"Secretary Li, these products are also sold in the pharmacies. If all the pharmacies are closed down, how are the people going to buy their medicines?" The Chief of the Health Department asked.
"You are saying that none of the pharmacies will be spared?" Secretary Li was heartbroken. All the pharmacies had been shut down. Seems like they had not been monitoring the pharmacies properly.
"What is the Health Department doing? You all have the responsibility to allow these fake medicines to appear in the pharmacies! "The Mayor reprimanded.
The Chief of the Health Department was grumbling in his heart. You are blaming me for this? Last month, you had praised the Chinese Turtle Essence factory. You said that the City had a profitable business, and that Li Jiayu was even featured in the City's news. Furthermore, aren't you the one who told us not to go to other factories for inspections? But the Chief of the Health Department could not say this. If not, he would be the scapegoat.
"What other solutions do all of you have? Just say it out. This is a tough time, and we must overcome it together! Mayor Liu, you are in charge of the City's finances. How much money does the City have? " This was a huge incident. He could not do anything about other places, but the City had to pay for the compensation! He must stabilize the situation first. If not, he would also be in trouble!
"The City does not have a lot of money. Why is Li Jiayu not here? Inform the bank to seal all his company's accounts, including Li Jiayu's and his immediate family's accounts. Seal all his assets!"
"Secretary Li, Secretary Wang from the Provincial Government is calling." The secretary ran into the meeting room and shouted.
"All of you continue the meeting and come up with a solution!" Secretary Li shouted as he walked out of the meeting room.
