"Oh, I remember now."
Suddenly, Li Zihang remembered and said with wide eyes, "It's Zi Qing, the sword-practicing genius of the Wudang Sect, said to be born once in a millennium. She's the seventh direct disciple of the current Wudang Sect Leader, Zhong Yulong. She has achieved great mastery in swordsmanship, and it's rumored that she has inherited the true essence of an ancient sword ancestor of the Wudang Sect. Her swordsmanship is outstanding, hailed as the number one young swordsman among all major sects!"
Wan Yunting nodded. Li Zihang's ability to mention Zi Qing's identity confirmed that they were indeed disciples of the Wudang Sect.
"Senior Brother Guan Zhu, why do you suddenly ask about her?"
Li Zihang asked curiously, "I know a senior brother from the Wudang Sect, and from him, I learned that Senior Aunt Zi Qing is quite an eccentric person. She has always stayed in the back mountains of Wudang Mountain and rarely comes down. She doesn't attract external attention. You don't usually inquire about matters of other sects, so how did you know about her?"
Wan Yunting continued driving and said with a smile, "Because she came to spar with me today!"
"Ah, she came to Huadu City to spar with you?"
Hearing this news, Li Zihang was shocked and found it unbelievable, "How is that possible? I heard that after she went to Longhu Mountain last year to fight Zhao Qishui, she basically never left the Wudang Sect. Why did she suddenly come to spar with you?"
"Don't ask me, I'm still completely bewildered." Wan Yunting expressed his helplessness.
He felt that Zi Qing and her disciple's sudden visit this morning was a bit too strange.
"Then did you fight? Who won?" Li Zihang asked curiously.
"We fought, but it was a draw, stopping at the point of contact. However, I let them stay at my place for a few days. They seem to be staying in Huadu City for a few days before returning to the Wudang Sect."
Wan Yunting raised his eyebrows and said, "What I find strange now is their sudden visit. It's very suspicious, and they might have other motives. That's why I called to ask you how much you know about this Zi Qing."
Li Zihang said helplessly, "I've only heard about her, and I've never had the chance to meet her. Even when Senior Sister Zhishan specifically went to the Wudang Sect to challenge her last time, she couldn't even see her. She was defeated by a senior sister from the Wudang Sect. So, I don't know much about Senior Aunt Zi Qing either."
Wan Yunting said, "Then you can help me find out if her sudden visit to Huadu City is just for sparring with me, or if she has other intentions!"
"Okay, I'll contact that senior brother from the Wudang Sect later and subtly ask him if he knows anything about this matter." Li Zihang nodded.
"Alright, that's all for now. Contact me if you get any news."
After Wan Yunting finished speaking, he ended the call with Li Zihang and continued driving towards the Southern Hospital, while thinking about Senior Aunt Zi Qing and her disciple...
The real mastermind behind the Qunlong drug trafficking group had not yet been apprehended, so Wan Yunting had to remain vigilant and guarded against any strangers who approached him.
Zi Qing and Lan Xin, the master and disciple, were confirmed to be disciples of the Wudang Sect through Li Zihang. However, after they only saw his calligraphy and then traveled all the way from Wudang Mountain to Huadu City to spar with him, Wan Yunting found this a bit strange!
But if one considered people like Li Shuyun and Lu Xiaodie, who were obsessed with martial arts, they could come up with any bizarre things and ideas. In that case, Zi Qing coming to spar with him wouldn't seem strange.
Therefore, Wan Yunting could only rely on Li Zihang to find out what kind of person Zi Qing was, whether she was as eccentric as Li Shuyun, or if she had other intentions and was deliberately approaching him under the guise of sparring.
Upon arriving at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department, Wan Yunting was once again praised by Jiang Yichun and Li Chengde for the charity auction last night...
After a busy morning, Wan Yunting and Su Ke'er had lunch at a small restaurant outside. The emergency department was very busy that day, so Su Ke'er returned to work after lunch.
In the afternoon, Wan Yunting went to work at the Lingnan Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine office building. Gu Luotang had classes in the afternoon and did not come.
He worked until seven in the evening before leaving. Wan Yunting drove directly to Yanting Beauty Co., Ltd.
"President Wan, you're here."
Jin Xiuwen's little secretary, Zhou Xiaomin, dressed in a grey professional outfit, was at the entrance of a conference room. Upon seeing Wan Yunting arrive, she quickly went to greet him. He asked, "Are they still in a meeting?"
"Yes, it's about to end."
Zhou Xiaomin nodded and said, "President Wan, perhaps you could wait in President Fang's office first."
"Alright."
Wan Yunting nodded. He specifically came tonight to invite Fang Yanxi out for dinner and to see what problems had arisen with the company's products.
A moment later, Fang Yanxi and Jin Xiuwen came out of the conference room after the meeting. Zhou Xiaomin informed them that President Wan had arrived and was waiting in the office, so Fang Yanxi and Jin Xiuwen went directly to find him.
Wan Yunting, who was standing outside on the balcony smoking, extinguished his cigarette butt and smiled at the returning duo, "Is it over? How did it go, have the problems been resolved?"
"Resolved what? We still haven't found the source."
Jin Xiuwen, sitting on the sofa in the reception area of the office, also took out his cigarette and lit one, smoking with a troubled frown.
Fang Yanxi also returned to her chair at her desk, placing the investigation materials on the table. Her eyebrows were furrowed, clearly indicating that the matter was a bit tricky and could not be investigated clearly in a short time.
"What exactly is the problem? Old Jin, tell me about it."
Wan Yunting looked at their distressed expressions and knew that the matter might be more serious than he had imagined. He immediately asked Jin Xiuwen to explain, to see if he could offer any advice or help.
Jin Xiuwen said, "When this incident first started, I thought it was a quality problem with our products. However, after our investigation, we ruled out our product issues because our product quality has been certified by the relevant departments."
"So, I suspect that the market might have inferior products that counterfeit ours. Consumers used fake products, which caused severe allergic reactions, and then left comments on the sales platform attacking our products for quality issues!"
Fang Yanxi, sitting in her office chair, raised her eyebrows and said, "It's also possible that our competitors hired trolls to post malicious comments on our sales platform to attack us!"
Jin Xiuwen shook his head and said to Fang Yanxi, "This possibility is very low. After all, the Meimei.com platform we cooperate with is the largest platform for beauty sales in our country. Its person in charge called me today and denied that it was done intentionally by trolls."
Fang Yanxi nodded and asked, "Have you contacted those consumers yet?"
"I have."
Jin Xiuwen nodded and said, "Those consumers have also agreed to send us the products they used that caused allergic reactions. Then we'll know if they used our manufactured products or fake products counterfeited outside."
Wan Yunting, sitting on the side with his legs crossed, finally understood what was going on and asked, "Are there many consumers experiencing allergic reactions? Are there any consumers from Huadu City?"
Jin Xiuwen shook his head and said, "There are none in Huadu City, but there are cases in Shenzhen and Yangshi. And the number of consumers with allergic reactions is still increasing. They are complaining to us on the platform. Therefore, after negotiation with us, the person in charge of Meimei.com has now taken down the relevant products and stopped sales."
Wan Yunting nodded and said, "It's the right thing to do to stop sales until the matter is investigated."
Jin Xiuwen said worriedly, "But the most fatal thing now is that several unscrupulous media outlets are already reporting on the news of problems with our products. Even those consumers are attacking our products for being unqualified and causing severe allergic reactions on Douyin. Yesterday, a Douyin post became a trending topic, and the keyword was you, Wan Yunting!"
Wan Yunting's expression froze, and he gave a wry smile, realizing that he had become a celebrity in Huadu City. His every move was watched by the media and others outside.
The Yanting Beauty Co., Ltd., which he and Yanxi opened together, had been receiving attention from outside since its products were launched. A large portion of the consumers bought the products to try them out precisely because of Wan Yunting's popularity.
Now that there were product issues, and consumers who had used the problematic products experienced severe facial allergies, posted videos on Douyin, and attacked Wan Yunting as a black-hearted merchant who produced and sold inferior, unqualified products to deceive consumers, this was a huge blow to Wan Yunting's reputation.
Wan Yunting hadn't watched Douyin recently and was unaware of the severity of the situation. If Douyin and the internet continued to ferment, the situation might spiral out of control.
"You need to upload a Douyin video to explain this matter!"
Suddenly, Fang Yanxi said to Wan Yunting, "But your attitude must be strong. Don't let people think that our products are the problem, and you are apologizing to the public."
"Yes, Old Wan, your influence is still useful. You need to explain the problems we've encountered to the public and ask for some time to investigate." Jin Xiuwen nodded and quickly agreed.
"Alright, I'll post it later."
Wan Yunting nodded, realizing he had to step in himself.
Then Fang Yanxi said, "Tomorrow I'll go to the dealer in Shenzhen to see if there are any problems there."
"Then I'll go to Yangshi to personally meet those consumers and examine the products they used," Jin Xiuwen also said.
Wan Yunting looked at Fang Yanxi and said, "You don't need to go. Let the people below investigate."
Fang Yanxi raised her eyebrows, wanting to say something, but Jin Xiuwen stood up and said, "Yanxi, you don't need to go to Shenzhen. I'll have Xiaomin go to investigate."
Wan Yunting gave Fang Yanxi a look, and only then did she nod in agreement.
"Alright, it's getting late. Let's go out to eat. Old Jin, you too." Wan Yunting stood up and smiled.
"I'd better not go."
Jin Xiuwen shook his head and said with a smile, "I promised to go back and cook for Qiuyue today."
"Oh, I didn't expect that, Old Jin. You've made progress so quickly?"
Wan Yunting was surprised. Jin Xiuwen chuckled and said, "Not yet. She only allowed me to cook for her, but this is already half the progress."
