Chapter 552: Chapter 421: Drawing the Tiger Away from the Mountain Plan

The other party was a municipal-level distributor developed from the factory, where the factory’s food was unifiedly distributed to the distributor for sales.

In so many places across the country, the factory’s manpower was limited after all. Xiaofeng had initially adopted the modern distributor rules, which were to find a distributor in each city to unify the goods distributed to the distributor’s hands, and then let the distributor wholesale or sell to some merchants in the city.

This model had been effective, and for a time, the factory’s orders had sharply increased, but due to the lack of higher-level management, there were still some loopholes in management in some places.

"President Wang, don’t worry about this matter for now. Our factory will send someone over immediately. If it is a problem with the product, you don’t need to speak up, our factory will think of a solution on our own," Su Peng, though new to managing the factory, was quick-witted; once any numbers entered his mind, he remembered them.

"Alright, President Su, I’ll give you guys some face for now," President Wang was relatively easy to talk to, "But you’ll have to come in person, or else, how am I to deal with such good customers on my side?"

"Alright, we will be there immediately. If it really is our factory’s problem, the solution will certainly satisfy you."

President Wang on the other end hung up the phone, and looking at the man before him, beads of cold sweat formed on his forehead, "Brothers, he promised to come over, is this alright?"

"Quite capable of handling affairs, once he arrives, inform us," the other party snorted coldly, kicked the corner of the office chair, and left.

President Wang looked at his messy office and sighed weakly, what a mess this all was.

...

"Big brother." Xiaofeng picked up the phone and called Su Peng, "I called Keke, and Keke said you were on a business trip, has something happened?"

"Yes, there’s a bit of a problem with the goods at a municipal-level distributor’s place, so I’m heading over now. I still have confidence in quality control, so I need to see it myself. The factory’s reputation has just started to improve. If there is an accident related to quality, it would have a negative impact on your factory’s reputation."

For a factory to do well, honesty and quality are the basic premises for its survival.

Xiaofeng and Su Peng chatted for a while and then hung up the phone.

Xiaofeng frowned, a quality issue.

Recently she hadn’t been at the factory, and as the factory had expanded quite a bit, whether there were management gaps in personnel management was unclear for the time being, but issues like maggots were a major quality problem, and it was most appropriate for her brother to deal with it himself.

Xiaofeng was worried that if it was a problem with a batch of products, it would definitely not only affect one distributor, other distributors were bound to come knocking too.

Of course, there was also a possibility that this quality problem was man-made, not ruling out the possibility of individual distributors concocting a situation to extract more benefits from the factory.

Xiaofeng’s worries were not unfounded, as afterward, several distributors exposed that their products had quality issues, some demanding returns, others requesting they come to deal with it in person.

Su Peng had gone to Tianma City to deal with the situation, Director Zhou needed to stay at home to supervise production, and Baozi and his team needed to command the cargo transport to ensure other suppliers could receive their goods on time.

Following the incident, Xiaofeng immediately called Director Zhou to have him temporarily stop shipping to various suppliers and conduct an internal inspection to see if there was a problem with the factory’s goods.

Director Zhou received the call and started an overnight internal inspection to see if the problem originated from the production line or another link.

After inspection, the quality of the goods at home was all without issues and was in compliance, and Director Zhou had personally checked the previous batch of goods as well, all of which were qualified.

Since they were all qualified with no problems prior to leaving the factory, where then was the problem?

Xiaofeng decided to return to help with the investigation.

The factory was hers, and now that such an incident had occurred, she naturally had the right to clarify everything.

"What, sis, you’re going back?" Xiaonian’s eyes lit up upon hearing Xiaofeng was returning, "Sis, perfect timing, our school is about to start summer vacation, so I can go back with you."

Where to spend the summer vacation was almost driving her insane. Now that she heard Xiaofeng was going back, of course, she wanted to go along.

Xiaofeng glanced at her, interested, "Do you really want to go back with me?"

"Of course." Xiaonian tried to please Xiaofeng, "Sis, just think of it as me gaining some experience by your side. You know, I grew up in the Imperial Capital and never went anywhere else, and mom and dad often say I don’t understand the hardships of real life. You’re different, you know more than I do. Following you, mom and dad would definitely be at ease."

In truth, she just wanted to see the world outside.

The summer vacation was long, and staying home was simply too suffocating.

"You discuss it with mom and dad yourself, if they agree, you can come with me. But let me be clear up front, on the road, you’re not allowed to complain of tire, I won’t have sympathy for you."

"Sis, you’re clearly looking down on me. I’m telling you, I can endure hardship, especially hardship. Just wait for me; I’ll go tell mom and dad, and I’ll join you," Xiaonian said, and then she disappeared from sight, probably having gone back.

Xiaofeng shook her head at her sister’s hasty departure.

She needed to make a trip back home, so naturally, she had to inform the Gu Family.

Luckily, the boy and girl twins were already weaned, and the Gu Family had caretakers, so there was no need to take them along.

Yan Junmei was startled to hear that Xiaofeng was returning to her hometown. She had intended to have a proper conversation but, thinking that there might be someone listening at home, she snorted coldly, "What are you, a woman, doing showing your face around all the time? Is the Gu Family unable to provide for you? If you must travel far, you may do so, but the boy and girl twins must stay with the Gu Family. We don’t want you taking the twins and running off, never to return to the Gu Family. Su Xiaofeng, let me tell you, if you dare to do anything to wrong Yecheng, I won’t let you off the hook."

"Mom, I’m just going back to the factory to deal with some urgent matters, not to do anything shady. Please take good care of Gu Dabao and Gu Xiaobao for me. My flight is tonight, and I’m not sure how many days it will take for me to return," Xiaofeng replied.

Yan Junmei watched her go back to her room to hand the children over to the servants and followed her.

"Xiaofeng, are you going back without letting Yecheng know?"

"I haven’t had the chance to tell him yet, but he’ll find out," Xiaofeng said as she picked up some luggage. She first informed Old Master Gu, and lastly she went to Yecheng’s bedside to say a quick farewell.

Upon leaving the Gu Family residence, Xiaonian had already packed and was waiting at the entrance with Xiaoyan.

Xiaoyan was somewhat helpless, but as a man, it was his duty to protect his sisters when they were traveling far.

Xiaonian’s lips were curled up high with pride, "Sis, just look at how annoying brother is, following us everywhere. We’re not boys; why does he need to tag along and be such a nuisance?"

"Quan Xiaonian, am I just your sister, or not? You’re allowed to go, but I’m not allowed to follow her? Don’t be so full of yourself; I’m not following you, I’m clearly following our sister," Xiaoyan, who was usually quiet in front of others, would never hold back when bickering with his sister.

"Enough, both of you will come with me. I’m telling you, you’ll have to take care of yourselves on the road," Xiaofeng said, exasperated with the two of them.

But her heart felt warm, for the blood of their parents ran in all their veins.

Just like in her previous life, she and her younger brother were their parents’ treasures.

...

"Sir, the Young Madam’s food factory has encountered some issues; she has returned there with the Xiaonian siblings," An Yi reported.

Ye Cheng was going over the personnel information for case 319 and acknowledged An Yi’s report with a light hum.

He thought for a moment, "The Wolfman’s den has just been cleared, and now she’s running into trouble over there. The waters there must not be deep."

An Yi also frowned, "Sir, what do you mean?"

"Someone bears a grudge against her and wants to take action in the Imperial Capital, but they’re afraid of repercussions. It seems to be a classic ploy to lure the tiger away from the mountain," Ye Cheng said with a cold laugh.

An Yi was surprised, but couldn’t help admiring the master’s meticulous mind for quickly detecting the anomaly.

"Sir, about the Young Madam..."

Ye Cheng gathered the documents in his hands and said to An Yi, "After all, she is my woman. If someone wants to deal with her, they’ll have to see if I agree. Keep watch over the Imperial Capital; I’m stepping out for a bit."

An Yi wanted to say more, but the master had already vanished.

...

In the top-floor private room of Lange Yuntian Club, lavishly and grandly decorated, a woman sat there gracefully swirling a glass of red wine in her hand.

She rocked the glass and stepped to the window, gazing down at everything below.

Nobody knew her secret, not even that idiot during the day knew her secret.

She was a soul from the modern era, but she didn’t appear here every day; she only existed in this world for half a month each month.

But half a month’s time was already enough for her, enough to turn this world upside down.
