Still feverish?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yan smiled as he watched her bare feet on the carpet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Close your eyes!” Song Yuncheng hastily wrapped the towel around herself and shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve seen enough last night. What’s the point of covering up now?” Chen Yan yawned, teasing her lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yuncheng froze; her fair, smooth oval face flushed crimson. “Ah!” she cried, snatched up her clothes, and dashed into the bathroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three minutes later, Song Yuncheng returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why are you staring at me? You passed out in the bathroom—I took care of you all night!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yan rolled his eyes, unbuttoning his shirt as he headed for the bathroom to freshen up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t believe you didn’t take advantage of me,” said Song Yuncheng, fully dressed, fuming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It was just convenient.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yan admitted it openly, then stripped off his shirt and walked into the bathroom bare-chested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yuncheng turned away as he undressed, and only when his footsteps faded did she sneak a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This bastard has such a great body!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yuncheng swallowed hard, silently sighing—but she shook her head repeatedly, as if trying to shake off these chaotic thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As long as Chen Yan is fine, Song Yuncheng, you must keep your distance—he’s got a girlfriend next door. If they find out, you’ll never explain it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yuncheng propped her chin in her hand, silently warning herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t you forget about confessing yesterday? You’ve always been a girl who wants to break up other people’s relationships. Stop pretending.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As one thought flashed through her mind, another immediately surfaced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nervousness, panic, guilt—negative emotions poured in. Song Yuncheng grabbed her backpack and ran for the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How desperately she had wanted to see Chen Yan yesterday, now she didn’t want to lay eyes on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yan, mid-soap, stared blankly—he thought Song Yuncheng must be hungry and had gone downstairs for breakfast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he finished washing and came out, he found her backpack gone too—and a text message on his phone: “I’m going back to Xu City.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this woman insane?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yan threw his phone onto the bed, helplessly muttering under his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t help missing Cheng Guo—the girl who constantly dressed up in cosplay for him: Spider-Man, Black Widow, Avatar, Angel Beast—you name it, always making Chen Zong laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then he remembered Cheng Guo in 2010 was probably still in kindergarten—and his thoughts vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yan changed into clean clothes, walked out, and sent a text to Meng Jie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keywords like “FoxTao Reports to Police” and “FoxTao Tenfold Compensation for Fakes” quietly climbed into the top ten trending topics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bottle of Maotai cost 1,499 yuan; customers who held an authentication certificate from the China Inspection Institute or Maotai’s Anti-Counterfeit Office could contact FoxTao customer service for a 14,990 yuan compensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The comment section, once filled with angry rants, suddenly turned harmonious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Zihao, via Police Inspector channels, obtained contact details of 23 joint complainants and assigned customer service staff to reach out to each one with blunt, straightforward soothing tactics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ask for bank account numbers—then just transfer the money!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as users opened the FoxTao homepage, a “Tenfold Compensation for Fakes” notice popped up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the news of “FoxTao Selling Fake Maotai” fully exploded, Chen Yan had already swiftly regained user trust by offering “Tenfold Compensation for Fakes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lost 15,000 yuan. Should’ve used two priority queue codes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“@FoxTao CEO Chen Yan, Chen Zong, when are you selling Maotai again? I’ll definitely buy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pfft! You don’t want to support him—you just want to make money, say it straight!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think Chen Yan’s a decent guy—daring to promise tenfold compensation. Besides, the facts aren’t clear yet; maybe he’s innocent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On Weibo, some regretted missing out on Maotai, some mocked, others began defending Chen Yan and FoxTao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this trend grew clearer—more and more people were speaking up for FoxTao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until several Shanghai netizens who had bought fake Maotai spoke out: “Chen Zong’s character is fine. Just for daring to promise tenfold compensation, I’ll keep shopping at FoxTao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the tenfold compensation was paid, users who bought fake wine changed their attitudes and began defending Chen Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coupled with interviews featuring Chen Yan aired by E-Commerce Daily and Shanghai News, public opinion flipped 180 degrees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had assumed FoxTao, as a CPS referral platform, only cared about collecting commissions and ignored product quality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After watching the video, they learned FoxTao sent every flash-sale item for professional testing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The problematic Maotai batch had a compliance report from the China Inspection Institute, proving FoxTao had done its utmost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The real culprit was probably Jiushen Network!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, FoxTao became the innocent victim, while Jiushen Network was branded the villain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Netizens demanded the Police Inspector thoroughly investigate Jiushen Network, suspecting it mixed fake and real goods—some even called the Industry and Commerce Bureau and Market Supervision, leaving Liu Zhiping in a frenzy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, that night, the Police Inspector brought good news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following the logistics chain from Yancheng all the way to Shanghai, they finally spotted anomalies at the Yizhou sorting center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surveillance footage from December 20 was mysteriously missing 27 minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surveillance tech back then was relatively basic, lacking automatic anomaly detection or package tracking—if the culprits hadn’t deleted the footage, the Police Inspector might never have found it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these guys were guilty and nervous, so they tampered with the cameras.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This fake wine scandal involved hundreds of thousands of yuan in illicit funds; both buyers and sellers had filed reports, and an 18-year-old college entrepreneur was also implicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daily trending topics put immense pressure on the Police Inspector officers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the clue was caught, the rest was simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two sorters and one surveillance guard had swapped real Maotai with fakes, sold them to liquor dealers, and pocketed 76,000 yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Chen Yan scoffed—he never imagined he’d end up in the Police Inspector’s office over just a few ten thousand yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The truth was out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone breathed a sigh of relief!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiushen Network immediately contacted several major Weibo influencers overnight and released the full story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They also posted a lawyer’s letter on Weibo to Yunsu Express, demanding:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, compensation for Jiushen Network’s reputational damage;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, coverage of all user complaints and refund costs triggered by the fake wine;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third, compensation for indirect economic losses including reduced orders and customer attrition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One hour later, FoxTao’s Legal Force also sent a lawyer’s letter to Yunsu Express, with identical demands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Together, they were determined to destroy this courier company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s no such thing as absolute innocence—if they didn’t clear things up, FoxTao and Jiushen Network would be the ones blamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention Jiushen Network, which had grand ambitions to dominate the liquor e-commerce market but now faced ruin—possibly never recovering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just the damage to FoxTao’s funding and valuation alone would be enough to cripple Yunsu Express.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they got little compensation, Yunsu’s reputation was ruined—no one would ever cooperate with them again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enraged, Yunsu’s boss Liao Wei vented all his fury on the three employees involved, even using connections to demand severe punishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even after their families offered full restitution, Liao Wei refused to relent, issuing a midnight announcement: “Due to management gaps, Jiushen Network and FoxTao suffered major losses. We sincerely apologize. We have terminated the three employees involved and will strengthen surveillance protocols…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone was humble, as if surrendering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liao Wei called Liu Zhiping first; as soon as Liu answered, Liao Wei hung up without a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly used connections to beg for mercy; someone advised him: “Jiushen Network and FoxTao trended for two days, orders halved—they’re desperate to vent. Just endure for now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiushen Network’s boss came from Tsinghua’s business circle, unlike Liao Wei, a mere street hustler—he had wide networks and abundant resources, and even as a startup, he secured Maotai’s partnership; he didn’t give a damn about Liao Wei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Chen Yan’s Weibo followers surged to 2.6 million; his pinned post was the lawyer’s letter targeting Yunsu Express.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting in his office, Liao Wei panicked—if Chen Yan kept publicly shaming Yunsu every day, he might as well kill himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss, the families of the three employees are still causing a ruckus downstairs. Should we call the police?” The assistant knocked and whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where are the security guards? Are they just collecting pay? Kick them all out!” Liao Wei slammed his desk in rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Boss!” The assistant nodded, turning to call security.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait!” Liao Wei suddenly had an idea, called the assistant back, and whispered instructions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss, what if they’re heartless?” The assistant stared, thinking Liao Wei’s plan was unrealistic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’re determined to crush me—what can I do?” Liao Wei spread his hands, playing the helpless rogue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, I’ll handle it right away.” The assistant understood his boss’s plight—Yunsu had only been around four years, and its growth had been strong, even securing an exclusive deal with Jiushen Network.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who could have expected that right at the start of the partnership, Yun Su had been planted with such a massive bomb?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The assistant left the office, went downstairs to the company entrance, spoke a few words to the protesting family members, then turned and walked back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no desire to deal with these troublemakers—thieves caught red-handed still had the nerve to cause a scene at the company; it was truly unbelievable, what kind of people were out there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen took Meng Jie and kept playing until the afternoon of the 26th, then took the high-speed train back to Xu City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been three days since he was taken to the Police Inspector’s office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the second floor of the startup park, calm had returned, though several workstations were now empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss Chen, you’re finally back!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Pengfei spotted Chen Yansen at the stairwell out of the corner of his eye, shouted loudly, and rushed toward him with open arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen sidestepped, eyeing him with distaste, as if to say: You’re a grown man—why are you trying to hug me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others also gathered around him, their eyes filled with grievance, seeing Chen Yansen as if he were their father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the days Chen Yansen was gone, they had truly lost their bearings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1937,"2026-06-19T19:17:18.227Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","456ce7196ae669636223939715398d90a19a13fbb4503c43bb5bb696a799f587","i-get-stronger-every-payday-with-one-billion-emp-chapter-89","i-get-stronger-every-payday-with-one-billion-emp-chapter-87",387,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-get-stronger-every-payday-with-one-billion-emp-cover.jpg"]
