Chapter 596: Investigation Results
"What are you waiting for!" The girl turned over and sat up, "Hurry up, let's go get the compensation."
Huang Pangpang asked: "You didn't throw away the beverage bottles, did you?"
The girl said: "One can sell for three cents, why would I throw it away."
"Good, good, good!" Huang Pangpang said: "Hurry up, put on your shoes, take the bottles, and go to the small shop to register."
"Let's go!" The girl put on her shoes, found the iced black tea bottles, and ran out of the dormitory with Huang Pangpang, "Once we get the compensation, we'll go eat something good."
Huang Pangpang chuckled and said: "You said you wouldn't buy iced black tea in the future. Do you still think so now?"
The girl said: "Although the manufacturer is very sincere, I still won't buy it again."
Huang Pangpang didn't ask again, but her pace got faster and faster. When they arrived at the small shop, they found many people queuing up, waiting to register.
Just as they were about to go to the back to queue up, they heard someone inside shouting: "Fellow students, don't all queue here. The cafeteria is also a sales point; you can go there to register."
The girl pulled Huang Pangpang and left: "Let's go to the cafeteria!"
Huang Pangpang said: "Going to the cafeteria will probably also have a queue."
The girl said: "The cafeteria has a large space, and you can queue inside. Isn't that better than being exposed to the sun here?"
The two came to the cafeteria again. There were indeed many people, but queuing indoors was much better than being outside.
Time passed bit by bit. The queue in front was shortening, but the queue behind was getting longer and longer.
Just as Huang Pangpang was holding the beverage bottles and finished registering, she suddenly heard someone shout.
"Quick, look at the TV."
Everyone looked up and saw Zhou Andong appearing on the screen.
"Is it a press conference?"
"Seems like it!"
At this time, they heard Zhou Andong say: "Thank you, media friends, for coming to this press conference. Regarding the serious quality issues that occurred with the iced black tea, I think everyone already knows, so I won't say much more..."
Listening to Zhou Andong's sincere apology speech, many people were so excited they couldn't control themselves, and the girl's eyes were a bit red.
Huang Pangpang tilted her head and looked at her: "What's wrong?"
The girl shook her head: "It's nothing. I've decided. I won't support Yugong Group alone, but I will support Zhou Andong and continue to buy iced black tea."
Huang Pangpang smiled, looking at Zhou Andong on the TV, holding her chest with both hands: "Zhou Andong is really handsome. I will support him forever."
The girl blinked, looked at Huang Pangpang, and then looked at Zhou Andong on the TV: "Pangpang, you should get a pair of glasses."
"Huh?" Huang Pangpang was stunned, "I'm not nearsighted, why get glasses."
The girl said: "I agree with supporting Zhou Andong forever, but you say he is handsome—that must mean your eyes are nearsighted."
Huang Pangpang dissatisfiedly hammered the girl: "I am telling you very seriously, Zhou Andong is the most handsome in my heart. You cannot slander him, otherwise, I will break off relations with you."
"Good, good, good!" The girl held back her laughter, "Zhou Andong is the most handsome, the most handsome in the world. Is that okay?"
"Hmph!" Huang Pangpang snorted, "I forgive you."
"I always believe that all efforts in life have rewards, and I always believe that all suffering is a practice... And as the person in charge of the enterprise, I must admit my mistakes if I have them, and stand straight if I am beaten."
When the girl looked at the TV again and heard Zhou Andong's speech, she muttered in her heart. Not to mention, looking closely like this, he is actually quite pleasing to the eye.

Jianlibao Headquarters, Li Laoban was looking at the evening paper with a blank expression. The news on it was exactly the content of Zhou Andong's press conference.
"With such a big crisis, he can actually still do this. Zhou Andong, I really admire you a bit now."
"Knock, knock, knock..."
The office door was knocked. Li Laoban looked up: "Come in!"
A middle-aged man pushed the door and entered: "Li Laoban, you saw Zhou Andong's press conference, right."
Li Laoban placed the newspaper on the desk: "Just saw it."
The middle-aged man asked: "Should we start the plan?"
Li Laoban sighed. Iced black tea had problems, and he got the news even earlier than Coca-Cola, but he didn't dare to take any action against iced black tea.
But he also suspended the promotion and donation plan because he felt that iced black tea had such serious quality issues, and the two colas would definitely not let go of this opportunity. Iced black tea must be in bad luck.
Since that was the case, there was no need for him to throw away two million for nothing. So he suspended the promotion plan and donation, but he never expected that Zhou Andong would perform such a flashy operation.
Not only did he not cover it up, but he exposed himself. What made him even harder to accept was that after Yugong Group held the press conference, iced black tea was not affected at all, and sales even increased.
And today, Zhou Andong also held a press conference. When he saw the report, he knew that the crisis of iced black tea had been lifted. For him, it was not a good thing, but he had no choice.
"Contact the media and hold a press conference at 9:00 AM tomorrow."
"Okay!" The middle-aged man's expression also became relaxed, "I'll go arrange it."
The middle-aged man left. Li Laoban picked up the cigarette on the desk, lit it, and then leaned against the back of the chair, looking at the ceiling, motionless, not knowing what he was thinking.
………………
Coca-Cola China Headquarters, conference room on the 15th floor of the Kaiyuan Building.
Everyone was silent. The relaxed atmosphere of yesterday had disappeared again.
Zhao Hongxing rubbed his somewhat stiff face hard.
"Kyle, is there any news from headquarters?"
Kyle shook his head: "No!"
Zhao Hongxing clenched his fists tightly, then took a deep breath: "Report the situation here again. We can't wait any longer."
"Damn capitalists." The bearded foreigner cursed.
A young man asked: "Regarding the problematic iced black tea, do we still need to continue reporting?"
"It has no meaning anymore." Jiang Yuping sighed, "If we had contacted the media when we got the problematic iced black tea yesterday morning, even if it was reported at night at the same time as Yugong Group's press conference, the result would not be like this."
"Then we still have to report it." Zhao Hongxing gritted his teeth and said: "Even if it's of no use, it can still disgust Zhou Andong."
At this time, Zhou Andong had just finished eating and returned to the hospital. When he arrived at the door of the ward, before he could enter, he heard the phone ringing.
"Hey!"
Old Four's voice came out, "Big brother is not... Oh, he's back."
Zhou Andong pushed the door open. Seeing him, Old Four raised his little hand and waved, "Big brother, your phone."
Zhou Andong walked over and took the phone: "I am Zhou Andong."
Du Chun's voice came from the receiver: "Chairman, the investigation results are out. There is a problem with the water source."
Zhou Andong asked: "How can there be a problem with the water source?"
Du Chun said: "The OEM factory uses well water, but there is a river not far away. There is a paper mill that discharges all its wastewater into the river. We suspect that the river water seeped into the ground and contaminated the well water."
Zhou Andong's heart moved, and a trace of a smile appeared on his face: "Find experts to investigate and collect evidence, arrange for people to conduct secret visits in nearby villages, and see if any villagers have become seriously ill due to pollution.
If it is true, this time we can not only fight a beautiful turnaround but also bring a qualitative leap to the brand image of Xurishi iced black tea." ===== CHAPTER 597 =====
