408: Bite back
In just over ten minutes, Wang Weitian took out all the information he had fabricated.
In the kitchen, there was not only expired meat but also vegetables like sprouted potatoes.
If these things were exposed, people outside would surely cause trouble for Su Yue.
Now, the reporter has photographed all this information and is preparing to write a separate news article.
Su Yue looked at Wang Weitian with cold eyes, taking a deep breath: "President Wang, if you are unkind, don't blame us for being unjust."
Su Yue then turned his head to look at Liu Long, signaling him to retrieve all the surveillance footage here.
As long as there is one surveillance camera that captured them planting evidence, their news article could likely be debunked.
Seeing that they had started retrieving the surveillance footage, the reporter immediately came up to Su Yue: "Our interview is over."
Su Yue had no right to restrict their personal freedom, so he could only agree to let them leave.
In just half an hour, many people started causing trouble in the restaurant.
Plates and food were scattered everywhere, as if someone felt they had eaten something expired.
Liu Long looked at the doorway with a helpless expression, completely not expecting them to act like this.
In just a few minutes, Liu Long came up to Su Yue: "General Manager Su, look... what should we do?"
Su Yue saw Liu Long looking at him, pondered for a moment: "You go and appease them first."
Public opinion doesn't necessarily need to be suppressed by internet trolls; he also has other methods.
Before long, Su Yue drove back to Yuantu Investment.
Lan Zijun looked at Su Yue appearing at Yuantu Investment, her face full of surprise: "General Manager Su? Why are you back?"
She had just seen a lot of negative news about the hotel online, and she originally thought Su Yue must be at the hotel.
No one expected Su Yue to appear in such a place, which made her feel very strange.
Su Yue saw Lan Zijun looking at him, and laughed loudly: "I need to borrow all the employees for an hour."
When Lan Zijun heard that Su Yue needed to borrow everyone from Yuantu Investment, her brows furrowed slightly: "Tell me about it."
With such incidents happening at the three hotels, she believed that Su Yue needing people was definitely related to the three hotels.
Su Yue then placed his phone in front of Lan Zijun: "They said we used expired ingredients, did you see it?"
Lan Zijun nodded in agreement: "Of course, I saw the comments online a long time ago. You shouldn't personally..."
Speaking of this, she seemed to have thought of something, her face full of smiles: "You actually used this move, it's too ruthless."
Those people had been saying that the ingredients used in the three hotels were all substandard, and no one dared to eat there.
Now, Su Yue is taking all the employees of Yuantu Investment inside; he doesn't believe he can still say anything.
In just a few minutes, Lan Zijun informed all departments of Yuantu Investment and told them to gather.
Since Yuantu Investment was sponsoring the three hotels this time, the three hotels needed to provide a fixed transportation fee.
Without the transportation fee, Yuantu Investment would never sponsor this much money.
In just one hour, the employees of Yuantu Investment arrived at Muxin Hotel.
When Liu Long saw Su Yue bringing all the employees of Yuantu Investment, he immediately understood what Su Yue meant.
Before long, everyone was seated at the tables.
Those who were causing trouble saw people from Yuantu Investment Company sitting in the hotel preparing to eat, and they exchanged glances.
"Aren't the ingredients here problematic? Why are they coming here to eat? Something isn't quite right."
"Yeah, if the ingredients here are problematic, why would Yuantu Investment come here?"
Su Yue saw many people present starting to waver, his face full of smiles; this was the only thing he needed to do.
Soon, everyone was seated at the other tables.
Su Yue felt the time was right, walked onto the stage, and scanned the people below: "Let's eat together."
Just then, the chefs placed the food in their hands.
The Directors of various departments saw that the food was ready and couldn't help but say to the employees next to them: "Go ahead and eat to your heart's content."
The employees of Yuantu Investment knew that coming here was Su Yue's idea; if they wanted to stay, they definitely had to eat.
Everyone picked up their bowls and chopsticks and started eating heartily.
They originally thought the hotel's buffet had nothing special to offer, but who knew the taste was actually quite good.
In just a few minutes, many people walked to the window, seemingly wanting to get more food.
Su Yue watched them spontaneously go to the window for more food, his face full of smiles: "See? Isn't this the way to eliminate rumors?"
No matter how badly the reporter wrote, there was already irrefutable evidence right here, and they had no way to say anything.
Many people at the scene took pictures of the situation here and put them on their phones.
When Wang Weitian saw Su Yue resisting his rumors with this method, his face was full of anger, and he fiercely smashed a cup.
He originally thought that with so much evidence he provided, Su Yue should have no way out.
No one expected that Su Yue would actually call everyone from Yuantu Investment.
Now, online public opinion has become completely one-sided.
Lan Zijun watched the online comments gradually becoming more favorable, her face full of smiles: "You really do have a way."
Su Yue laughed loudly: "They are using improper methods against me, so I can only use this method against them."
It wasn't that Su Yue's ability was lacking, but rather that Su Yue felt only this method would be effective.
In just over an hour, the employees of Yuantu Investment finished all the food here and placed the dishes on the tables.
Su Yue saw Lan Zijun looking at him and couldn't help but point to the car at the entrance: "You go with them."
As the Boss of Yuantu Investment, it was best for her not to stay among the three hotels to avoid being implicated.
Originally, the three hotels were just partner companies, but if Lan Zijun stayed here continuously now, problems could arise.
Before long, Lan Zijun led the way and took everyone away.
Other guests saw that the people from Yuantu Investment had left and came up to Su Yue with smiles on their faces.
"We were wrong about you! We originally thought you used improper means."
Su Yue shook his head repeatedly: "If we ourselves can eat something, why can't people outside? What do you think?"
Everyone nodded in agreement and laughed loudly: "Right, we almost wronged you. Then we'll listen to you."
Soon, they published all the news about this place online, making many people willing to believe the situation here.
Su Yue watched them provide free publicity for him and immediately felt relieved.
They originally thought this incident should be over, but no one expected them to have a follow-up move.
Just as the few people returned to Yuantu Investment, a sound immediately came out.
Lan Zijun immediately came up to Su Yue, her face full of tension: "Look at the information online."
Su Yue had no idea what was happening outside and took the phone with both hands.
Many people had already come out to criticize the rumors, and Su Yue believed the rumors would collapse on their own.
No one expected that they actually had a follow-up move.
Su Yue carefully looked at the news on his phone, his brows slightly furrowed: "Someone ate our food and got poisoned?"
Lan Zijun nodded slightly: "Tell me the truth, do you really have those expired ingredients?"
Su Yue saw Lan Zijun subtly doubting him, and took a deep breath: "Don't you understand me?"
Since he took over the three companies, he had never used any messy ingredients, so poisoning was naturally impossible.
While the two were talking, the news outside had already started to spread.
If they delayed making an announcement, the news outside would surely become more troublesome.
Su Yue pondered for a moment, walked up to Lan Zijun, and patted her shoulder: "You go issue an announcement first."
Since such news appeared online, Su Yue believed he had to step forward and handle it.
Before he could leave Yuantu Investment, his phone in his pocket immediately made a sound.
Su Yue took out his phone, glanced at the number, and his brows furrowed slightly: "Liu Long's call."
He already knew what had happened at the hotel, so how could he not know why Liu Long was calling him?
Before long, Su Yue answered the phone.
Liu Long's somewhat anxious voice came through: "General Manager Su, I wonder if you have time to come to the hotel, something has happened."
How could Su Yue not know something had happened at the hotel? He took a deep breath: "Wait for me there, I'll be right there."
The hotel matters were big issues, after all, Huasheng Group had now made the three hotels their target of attack.
If he didn't complete his mission quickly, he believed the three hotels could all be dragged down and collapse.
In just half an hour, Su Yue drove his car to the entrance of Muxin Hotel.
Sure enough, Liu Long was standing at the entrance waiting for Su Yue to arrive.
When he saw Su Yue arrive, he immediately walked over and stood in front of Su Yue: "General Manager Su, look, what should we do?"
Su Yue took the phone with both hands, looked at the news inside, and took a deep breath: "I'm not looking at this."
Most of the content in the news was the result of exaggeration and embellishment; he needed to see more specific numbers.
Fortunately, Liu Long had prepared in advance, otherwise, he wouldn't have known how to respond to Su Yue.
In just a few seconds, a report was placed in Su Yue's hand, allowing Su Yue to clearly see the records inside.
It turned out that those people had eaten at the hotel, but they clearly hadn't eaten much.
If they said they got poisoned from eating at the hotel, Su Yue would never believe them.
Su Yue took a deep breath: "You come with me to the hospital. I think only the hospital can give us the answer."
Liu Long knew that Su Yue was his backbone, and he readily agreed. The two walked downstairs.
Before long, the two arrived at the hospital.
They originally thought the hospital should be relatively normal, but who knew there were many reporters waiting for them inside the hospital.
As soon as the two got out of the car, they were immediately intercepted by reporters.
Su Yue glanced at the few of them, his face full of seriousness: "Liu Long, you handle them."
Both of them were spokespersons, so they both knew what could be said.
In just a few minutes, Su Yue had arrived at the ward and found the poisoned people.
When the people inside saw Su Yue come in front of them, their faces were full of panic; they hadn't expected him to come.
Su Yue then glanced at the few of them: "Are you sure you were poisoned by eating our food?"
The few people exchanged glances and nodded slightly: "That's right, we were all poisoned by eating your food."
One of them even glared angrily: "Yes, it's all because of your expired food that we became like this."
Su Yue looked at the firm expressions on their faces; how could he not know they were all bought off?
If their answers were all different, it might actually be possible that they got a virus from eating.
However, their current answers actually drew Su Yue's attention.
Su Yue then glanced at the few of them and sneered: "You need to be responsible for what you say."
Without saying anything to them, he walked out of the ward and secretly stood by the door.
Sure enough, there were always one or two people in the crowd who were more timid.
When they saw Su Yue leave the ward, they immediately started to become scared.
Looking at them, it was as if they wanted to see if Su Yue would let them off.
Yuantu Investment had clearly already treated them as enemies; if they didn't do anything, problems could arise.
In just a few minutes, Su Yue returned to the ward and pointed at those few timid people.
"A few of you come out with me, I need to talk to you about something."
Originally, others wanted to stop Su Yue, but who knew Su Yue had the reporters he called behind him?
If they weren't willing to come over, it could only mean they had something to hide.
In just a few seconds, Su Yue brought the man into the office next door.
Su Yue looked at him with a smile on his face, then pointed to the seat opposite: "I know you were threatened."
The man saw that Su Yue seemed to be implying something about him, and took a deep breath: "Can you please not cause me trouble?"
From his perspective, if he didn't come out to testify, the people behind him definitely wouldn't let him off.
And if he switched sides and came to Su Yue's position, he might also not get any benefits.
Su Yue looked at the man's hesitant expression; how could he not know what the man was thinking?
Su Yue then took a deep breath: "This is your last chance. If you think not speaking up is advantageous, then I can't save you."
Yuantu Investment has always preferred to err on the side of caution rather than let someone go; the side they choose, they will stand by it no matter what.
