731 The Perfect Mr. Si

As the news revolving Wen Xinya’s abduction began to die down, the Administrative Bureau of Business and Commerce also began screening supermarket products and the news regarding the matter also spread across all media platforms. Due to the fact that supermarkets played a huge role in the lives of many, the news received widespread attention.

Actually, the Xia Family’s supermarkets were the most affected.

Wen Xinya stared at the news report which read: “One of our reporters have found that the Administrative Bureau of Business and Commerce have begun conducting large scale quality checks on various supermarkets, an initiative sparked by the recent seizure of unsafe products that did not meet the standard requirements, which were found in the Xia Family’s chain supermarkets. There were quality issues found with the products including canned food, packaged food, meat products, daily necessities, home appliances, cosmetic products, and many others. The Administrative Bureau of Business and Commerce has issued the Xia Family with a million-yuan fine and demanded that they remove the prohibited products from the shelves.”

“I’m a reporter from this news channel and I’m currently at the Xia Family supermarket branch in the Southern District. Some insiders working in the supermarket have informed me that the Xia Family is still selling the prohibited item, despite the orders to remove them. We’ve already contacted the supermarket management staff, but they have all remained tight-lipped about it. They did not answer my questions directly. My fellow reporters have also contacted the higher authority, but they refused to acknowledge this. They simply said that the staff was ignorant.”

“I’m a reporter from this news channel. I’m currently in one of the Xia Family supermarket branches on the West side of the Southern Region. The media has already reported about the Xia Family selling the prohibited items, thus sparking outrage amongst customers. They’ve shown up at the supermarket branches with the prohibited products that they had purchased previously and demanded for compensation. There are also some agitated customers who have smashed eggs at the signboards. Some have also splashed red paint in order to express their displeasure!”

“I’m a reporter from this news channel. I’m currently in one of the supermarket branches in the Northern District. I was informed that the personnel from the Administrative Bureau of Business and Commerce will be conducting quality checks in the supermarket branches at eleven o’clock this morning, along with the CEO of the Xia Family supermarket chain, General Manager Xia Haolin.”

Wen Xinya was eating some fruit while watching the news reports about the Xia Family on the television.

The Xia Family was merely an affluent family in the city that was not wealthy or prestigious enough to be included in the upper-class society. This time, the major checks and quality control exercises had been sparked by the Xia Family and they had been affected the most. Besides, the Xia Family’s main target consumer group was average citizens and hence, had a wide network of consumers. The hunter would shoot the bird that stuck out.

Wen Xinya had a part to play in causing the news to be spread so widely across all platforms.

Zhou Tianyu entered the ward with some fresh strawberries and said, “I bought some fresh strawberries. Would you like to have some?”

Wen Xinya’s eyes lit up. Strawberries were her favorite fruit and they happened to be in season. “Of course!”

Amused by how tempted she was, Zhou Tianyu laughed and teased. “Such a glutton!”

Feeling indignant, Wen Xinya retorted. “Since you’re not a glutton, I’ll finish the strawberries by myself. You’re not allowed to vie for them with me.”

Zhou Tianyu glared at her.

Wen Xinya glared back at her smugly.

Zhou Tianyu could not be bothered to bicker with her and instead brought the strawberries to the kitchen to wash them.

Wen Xinya continued to pay attention to the news reports about the Xia Family. However, the Xia Family was not prestigious enough and the media only gave them two minutes of air time on television.

However, the Xia Family suffered a huge blow and was facing a major crisis. Their consumers had lost confidence in them.

Zhou Tianyu walked towards her with the fruit plate. The fresh strawberries on the white ceramic plate were red and luscious. The sweet fragrance was mouthwatering.

Zhou Tianyu could not resist the temptation and popped a strawberry in her mouth before she even reached Wen Xinya.

Wen Xinya smirked at her.

Zhou Tianyu was not bothered by it at all. “By the way, I noticed that you were staring at the news reports about the Xia Family. The Xia Family has already cut off all ties with Xia Ruya. Why do you bother watching the news?”

While eating the strawberries, Wen Xinya grinned and said, “Who said that I was watching the news because of Xia Ruya? It doesn’t mean that the Xia Family is not worth paying attention to just because they’re no longer related.”

Zhou Tianyu stared at Wen Xinya and suddenly felt as if the strawberry was stuck in her throat. “Do you have something to do with the series of unfortunate events that the Xia Family has met with recently?”

Wen Xinya suddenly felt angry and ashamed. “What do you mean? The Xia Family was being unethical. I was just doing justice for the people.”

Zhou Tianyu guffawed loudly and said, “Hahahaha… you’re so vicious. Tell me honestly! Do you have any other plans in mind?”

Wen Xinya glowered at her, finding that she had made a bad friend. “Would you like to find out? I’m not gonna tell you.”

Zhou Tianyu finally stopped laughing and said, “Don’t tell me, then. I don’t care. I’ll find out sooner or later, anyway.”

Wen Xinya glared at her.

Zhou Tianyu fed her a big and red strawberry. “Your eyeballs are going to pop.”

Wen Xinya ate the strawberry indignantly, feeling conflicted and puzzled as to why her friends had such a poor impression of her. Whenever something happened, they would think that she was the one behind it. I’m clearly very kind and pure…

Zhou Tianyu had no idea what she was thinking. If she were to find out, she’d definitely glare at Wen Xinya in disdain. “By the way, when are you going to get discharged? Are you addicted to staying in the hospital?”

In the blink of an eye, she had already lived in the hospital for eleven days. Three days ago, the doctor informed her that she could be discharged. However, she still continued to stay.

Wen Xinya spluttered. “The injury in my head is rather severe. It’s better that I stay in the hospital a little longer for further observation. Besides… it won’t be easy for Grampy to visit me if I move back to the Wen Family home.”

She hung her head low and ate the strawberries guiltily.

Zhou Tianyu glared at her in disbelief and said, “Haven’t you always detested hospitals? You said that you can’t stand the smell of antiseptic solutions and that your mood gets affected by the patients. Why have you decided to stay in the hospital this time? How shocking. When are you going to leave?”

Wen Xinya answered, “When it’s suitable for me to go back to school!”

Zhou Tianyu leaned closer. “I saw the patient beside your ward when I arrive just now. It turns out it’s that perfect Mr. Si who showed up at Lan Feng previously. Tell me honestly, are you just smitten with him…”

She still remembered clearly what Wen Xinya had said about wanting to perform the noble task of getting rid of perfect hunks.

Wen Xinya almost spat the strawberry in her mouth onto the ground. The slow-witted Zhou Tianyu actually guessed what was going on. How shocking!

Noticing how shocked she seemed, Zhou Tianyu exclaimed, “Did I… guess it correctly!?!”

Wen Xinya continued to eat her strawberry calmly, allowing Zhou Tianyu’s imagination to run wild…
