"Hmm... Miss..." Zhang Yusheng opened his eyes and vaguely made out a familiar figure.
"Brother Yusheng, you’re awake?" An Yiqing walked up to Zhang Yusheng. "How do you feel?"
"Miss, what happened to me?" Zhang Yusheng’s mind was still a bit muddled.
Under An Yiqing’s narration, Zhang Yusheng gradually came to understand what had happened.
"That’s utterly despicable!" An agitated Zhang Yusheng fiercely slapped the table, but due to his weak body, he started panting after a few moments.
"Brother Yusheng, don’t get worked up. Rest well," An Yiqing said gently as she handed a cup of boiled water to Zhang Yusheng.
"Thank you, Miss," Zhang Yusheng said, struggling to lift his hand to take the cup. "Miss, is there anything I can do?"
"What you need to do now is to recover. I have some guesses about the poisoning, you leave this matter alone."
A cold determination flashed through An Yiqing’s eyes. She had a strong suspicion about who the person behind the curtain could be. Besides that inhuman Jia Ming, An Yiqing couldn’t think of anyone else who would hate Yuyuanzhai so much and resort to such a vicious and extreme method!
The collective poisoning at Yuyuanzhai, with An Yiqing’s deliberate spreading and instigation, even alarmed the major media outlets in Xuandu City.
If you ask which brand is the hottest in Xuandu City this year? Naturally, it would be Yuyuanzhai, which was established just a month ago! The collective poisoning at Yuyuanzhai, that’s explosive news! Who could hold such deep hatred against Yuyuanzhai to the extent of not sparing even the employees!
After receiving the news, media flocked to Yuyuanzhai. As the spokesperson, Zhang Yusheng was sitting in a wheelchair, his face pale as ash.
"Manager Zhang, is it true that Yuyuanzhai suffered mass poisoning?"
"Manager Zhang, is this incident a conspiracy by industry rivals or caused by a personal vendetta?"
"Where is the owner of Yuyuanzhai? Why haven’t they shown up yet?"
Journalists from the major media, armed with microphones and cameras, bombarded the scene with various questions, causing chaos at the scene.
"Everyone, please be quiet," said Hua Yun, who had recently been promoted to Deputy Manager, wearing a black business suit, her youthful face stern, "Upon hearing this news, Miss An, the owner of Yuyuanzhai, was greatly shocked and furious. She has stated that all expenses for this incident will be covered by her alone, and each employee will receive a compensation of a hundred thousand yuan. Moreover, as Miss An is currently busy cooperating with relevant departments to uncover the truth, Manager Zhang and I will appear on her behalf. Manager Zhang’s health is still very fragile, so please keep quiet."
"Greetings to all the friends from the media," Hua Yun finished, and Zhang Yusheng took over the conversation. His breath was weak and his speech slow, "Regarding this poisoning incident, I am certain that it was done intentionally. Our Yuyuanzhai has always valued harmony, yet I have no idea who we could have offended to such an extent that they would plot to poison all of us to death. If it weren’t for a highly skilled medical practitioner coming to our rescue, we would be lying in our hospital beds forever." Zhang Yusheng was visibly fatigued; he took a few breaths and continued, "Miss An has declared that we must investigate this matter to the end. We will capture this vicious person!"
The gathered reporters wanted to ask more questions, but Hua Yun deflected them, citing "Manager Zhang’s frail health" as the reason. She pushed Zhang Yusheng, who was sitting in the wheelchair, back into Yuyuanzhai and locked the door, hanging a "Closed for Business" sign.
That day, major media outlets covered the appalling poisoning incident on television, newspapers, and magazines. Suddenly, the name Xuandu Yuyuanzai was boiling over with buzz in Xuanjin, something An Yiqing had not anticipated.
