Chapter 268: Chapter 269: Something Went Wrong

Several people entered the Department Store, and from a distance, they could see the food area was crowded; most of those people were there because they knew about the delicious braised dishes and fried foods from trying Xu Ying’s samples.

Seeing the efforts of their own being snatched away by others, Third Uncle Xu and his companions felt nothing but rage.

He clenched his fists, wanting to confront those people and ask them if they didn’t feel ashamed for stealing from others.

Xu Ying held Third Uncle Xu back, insisting that they couldn’t make hasty decisions without clarifying the situation; if there indeed was a mole in their factory, their factory would surely pursue the matter.

It was naturally unacceptable for Shanghai factories to steal recipes from colleagues, and there would definitely be punishments when the time came.

If the food items had been developed by the others themselves, Xu Ying was confident that their own products were the best.

After trying them, these customers definitely wouldn’t be convinced, and the Department Store was merely bringing shame upon itself.

"Yingying, these people are shameless; didn’t everyone know we had a tasting event for braised dishes and fried foods a while ago?

Now they’re introducing these items, completely misleading these people." Third Uncle Xu was furious.

"Uncle, let’s first find out what’s happening."

"How can I see what’s happening without catching the son of a bitch who stole our recipes and gave them to others? I’ll surely sack him and beat him to death," Third Uncle Xu fumed.

Yang Nan also couldn’t contain his anger, "Uncle Xu, I’ll join you."

Zhou Yi, too, could hardly control his emotions, "These people indeed deserve to be punished."

Qian Yuanyuan was angered as well, unable to guess who could be so shameless as to disregard the factory’s interests and be so selfish and malicious.

"Comrade, a serving of the braised dish, and some fried food too, please," Xu Ying polite picked some food items.

One of the salespeople recognized Xu Ying and the group, his face full of caution; everybody knew that their big free sampling event was aimed at selling products in the Department Store.

Now that Magic City Food Factory had gotten ahead of them, they might be furious, and who knew what they might do.

The salesperson cautiously served Xu Ying.

Third Uncle Xu quickly took the food, eager to taste the difference between Magic City Food Factory’s products and their own!

He grabbed a braised duck wing and had barely bitten into it when he spat it out, exclaiming, "What the hell is this? How can it taste so terrible!"

Amid the debut of these new products, Magic City Food Factory also had representatives to manage the event.

Seeing Third Uncle Xu openly insulting their product, one man’s face grew furious as he approached Third Uncle Xu, "What do you mean?

If it tastes bad, why did you buy so much? If you dare, then don’t eat."

Third Uncle Xu was unyielding, confronting the salesperson, "Give me a refund for this awful food; I don’t fancy eating it.

Had I known it was this bad, I wouldn’t have eaten it at all."

Zhou Yi looked puzzled, grabbed a piece of duck meat, took a bite, and couldn’t help but spit it out, the meat was surely spoiled, not preserved properly.

The man’s face turned even paler with fury, these people were clearly looking for trouble.

"What’s the meaning of this, eating and then throwing up? Are you looking down on us?"

Zhou Yi walked over with the braised duck, "You try it and see how it tastes."

The man scoffed, took a bite, and spat it out, "Ptooey, this definitely isn’t our factory’s product."

Zhou Yi sneered and walked up to Xu Ying and the others, "That meat smelled rotten, and the taste was very strange."

When Qian Yuanyuan heard this, she immediately got excited, "I knew our products could never be surpassed. These food factory folks want to imitate us? They really are asking for trouble. Is the Department Store’s director stupid or what, buying it without even tasting it?"

Xu Ying shrugged her shoulders, she didn’t know, but Qian Yuanyuan had really hit the nail on the head with her comment. How stupid to not even taste it.

The man wanted to argue back when suddenly a large group of customers rushed into the building, holding the marinated duck flavor and fried food they just bought, looking furious.

"Where’s the Department Store’s director? Come out here right now. We trusted you so much, bought so much food from the Department Store, and it turns out to be stinking rotten when we tried it at home.

Previously, you guys even held a free tasting event, and the taste then was completely different from now."

"Yeah, your Department Store is really ruthless, selling us rotten meat!"

"We’re going to report this to the police now and see how you heartless people dared to sell such things to us."

"Everyone, come here, this little aunt and these people were the ones who gave us free samples before." A sharp-eyed old woman spotted Xu Ying and called out to the crowd, rushing towards her.

Glaring at Xu Ying with a face full of fury, "You young lady, you look pretty, but how can you do such immoral things?

The marinades and fried foods you gave us before were delicious, but what you’re selling now is a completely different flavor.

Aren’t you afraid of losing your conscience acting like this?"

Xu Ying raised an eyebrow, "People who do such things really have lost their conscience. Auntie, don’t be anxious, these marinades and fried foods are not from our factory.

We wanted to cooperate with the Department Store initially, but we were rejected by the owner of the Department Store. They are now working with the Magic City Food Factory.

By the way, this is the person in charge of the Magic City Food Factory; you guys should ask him what’s going on." Xu Ying turned and pointed to the man.

The man suddenly looked wary as he faced the large group of elders.

Before he could think of a plan, a crowd of angry elders charged at him and started beating him up.

Xu Ying, who enjoyed the drama, fanned the flames from the side, "They say you shouldn’t scam your own people, but the director of the Magic City Food Factory, when he decides to be ruthless, even scams people from his city.

These marinades and fried goods are clearly made from spoiled meat. Who knows if the other items in their factory are also made from bad ingredients.

Oh my, the products from the Magic City Food Factory are really unhygienic, might cause diarrhea if eaten, better not buy anything from their factory ever again."

The already furious crowd became even angrier upon hearing Xu Ying’s words.

"Let’s go find the director of the Magic City Food Factory now and ask why he’s so ruthless."

"Yes, let’s hurry and find their director, consuming this spoilt meat could be deadly."

"That director of the Department Store is no good either, selling such awful-food directly in the Department Store without even checking?"

"Exactly, who would dare buy from the Department Store after this? Everything inside must be rotten, maybe the other food isn’t fresh either, just hasn’t reached the point of stinking yet."

Never underestimate the power of the elderly; by the afternoon, the whole of Shanghai knew about the disgusting dealings between the Department Store and the Food Factory.

By the end, it had morphed into a rumor that Department Store’s Director Yang and Director Li had been in collusion for decades, and both places were unclean.
