Unrivaled Soldier in the City-Chapter 124: Fluent in Replies

At that moment, Lin Kuang and Lin Guo’er left Jiahua and rushed to Honglin Company. Since Honglin Company was also involved in this matter, Lin Kuang had no intention of letting them off the hook.

Meanwhile, inside Yashi Company, about twenty journalists had gathered. Sitting opposite them were Liu Shilin, Duoduo, and Susu.

The journalists looked at Liu Shilin with anticipation. She was considered a legendary figure in East Sea. An obscure woman with no background or status, she had taken a small underwear company and transformed it into an industry leader in just three years.

Now, Yashi’s underwear had been tested and found to contain carcinogenic dyes, a matter of great concern for many journalists. If this news got out, it would undoubtedly be a huge blow to Yashi Company. Even if they could recover, it would be impossible for them to return to their peak in a short period. After all, consumers would already have reservations about the brand. This would naturally lead to a reluctance to buy, and sales would plummet.

Furthermore, the journalists present had already heard some information through various back channels. Someone wanted to ruin Yashi, and they were being extremely direct about it. It seemed the opposition wouldn’t let Yashi recover. Yashi Company was probably finished.

Liu Shilin quietly observed the journalists before her. She knew very well that regardless of whether Yashi ultimately collapsed, its brand is now tainted. Recovering will take a significant amount of time.

Glancing around at everyone, Liu Shilin spoke with a smile, "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for waiting. Let’s begin. I will answer your questions."

Upon hearing Liu Shilin speak, a woman from the East Sea Evening News quickly stood up. "Miss Liu, it has been reported that the Quality Supervision Bureau found that your underwear uses dyes containing carcinogens. Why would you do this? Are you trying to use low-cost materials to make huge profits? In doing so, have you ever considered the consumers who trust you?!"

The woman spoke with righteous indignation, as if she wanted to condemn Liu Shilin on the spot.

Liu Shilin’s expression remained calm, though she sneered internally.

"Ma’am, please think before you speak," Liu Shilin said calmly. "How can you be so certain that we used dyes containing carcinogens? Is it just because of an inspection report? If so, that’s truly laughable. Many things in this world can go wrong. How can you be certain the Quality Supervision Bureau’s procedures weren’t flawed in some way? This matter still requires a rigorous investigation to verify the facts. Nothing has been confirmed yet. So, I hope you’ll think carefully before you make such accusations."

She could clearly tell this journalist was asking the question deliberately to slander Yashi.

Hearing Liu Shilin’s response, the woman’s face turned extremely ugly, and a trace of venomous resentment showed in her eyes.

"Hello, Miss Liu. I’m a reporter from the East Sea Metropolis Daily," a male journalist said, posing his question objectively. "How do you see this matter? Do you believe the Quality Supervision Bureau’s test results were a mistake, or do you think this is a case of corporate warfare?"

"We are still investigating the specific circumstances," Liu Shilin replied. "We don’t yet know if this is due to a mistake by the Quality Supervision Bureau or an act of unethical business competition. However, we cannot rule out the possibility that someone is deliberately trying to harm Yashi."

"Hello, Miss Liu, I’m a reporter from the East Sea Morning News," another female journalist spoke up, her question extremely sharp. "The Quality Supervision Bureau has been established for a long time and has had almost no errors in matters like this. How can you be so sure that there was a mistake in their procedures? Or are you suggesting that the Bureau is intentionally trying to frame Yashi?"

Liu Shilin answered with a smile, "You said it yourself: ’almost’ no errors. Even you can’t say with absolute certainty that they have *never* made a mistake, so how can I? That being the case, I am treating this matter with a serious and responsible attitude. Do you think that’s wrong?"

Hearing this, the reporter from the East Sea Morning News was speechless, unsure of how to respond.

After that, the various reporters continued to fire off questions. Liu Shilin answered them all fluently, making no attempt to evade any of them.

After the hour-long press conference, the journalists finally dispersed. Liu Shilin returned to her office, rubbing her aching forehead. Her heart felt heavy. The opposition is clearly aiming for a finishing blow to completely destroy Yashi. Can Lin Kuang really turn this situation around?

At this time, Lin Kuang and Lin Guo’er had already left Honglin Company. The company president had been dismissive of Lin Kuang at first. In the end, Lin Kuang had to use some strong-arm tactics to make the man submit and agree to help Yashi Company.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Lin Guo’er asked with a smile, "Where are we going next? Back to the company?" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

She already knew Lin Kuang was a strong fighter, but she hadn’t expected him to be so formidable in this kind of situation as well. This only made her like him even more.

"No, we’re going to the manufacturing plant," Lin Kuang said with a smile. "Since that’s where they supposedly found the carcinogenic dye, we should obviously go take a look."

Hearing this, Lin Guo’er nodded. "Alright. I’ll give you directions. Let’s head over now."

Following Lin Guo’er’s directions, they drove for more than half an hour before arriving at the manufacturing plant, which was Yashi’s own production workshop.

"Manager Lin, what brings you here?" the workshop director asked in surprise when she saw Lin Guo’er.

The director was a woman in her thirties. She had a voluptuous figure and the air of a mature woman.

"Sister Chen, we came over on the spur of the moment, so I didn’t call ahead," Lin Guo’er said with a smile. "How are things here?"

Chen Ruilian gave a wry smile. "Not good. People from the Quality Supervision Bureau showed up unexpectedly. They conducted an investigation, took samples, and claimed our fabrics contained carcinogens. I’ve had all the workers stop what they were doing. They’re all waiting in the workshop now."

"I see. Where exactly was the dye containing carcinogens found? Take me there," Lin Guo’er said.

"Some were found in the warehouse, and some were found on materials the employees were actively working with. What’s worse, it was our company’s core fabrics," Chen Ruilian explained with a bitter smile as she led Lin Kuang and Lin Guo’er toward the warehouse.

Lin Guo’er’s expression turned grim. "They were in both the warehouse and the workshop? It seems this is even more complex than we thought," she muttered. This doesn’t look like a mistake by the Quality Supervision Bureau. It’s highly likely our company’s core fabrics were deliberately sabotaged!
