Echoes of Elara's Heart Chapter 4

"Yao Yao, I just saw a hot search on Weibo. What's going on? Are uncle and aunt okay?"

The street scene quickly retreated, and neon lights adorned the high-rise buildings, like a heavy and heavy mountain.

Elara Xia rubbed her brows and did not forget to comfort her friend, "I don't know the details. I'm on my way to the factory."

"You pick me up at Sixi Road, and I'll go with you."

"Aren't you discussing cooperation with the publishing house? The first issue of "Dream Chasing" will be released soon, so don't worry." Elara Xia said, "I'll go to the factory first to understand the situation."

Sable Yu didn't want to cause trouble at this moment, "Okay, let me know if anything happens."

The matter was more serious than Elara Xia expected.

After the aluminum content of potato chips exceeded the standard, hot searches continued to show that Yaoyao Food Factory's biscuits failed to pass the test, and netizens criticized the factory like a wave.

------I'll go, there are people selling Yaoyao food near the primary school, poisoning the flowers of the motherland, why don't you die.

------It's so fucking evil. Let's speak out together so that this kind of business with no bottom line will be completely exposed and will never be able to turn around.

------Is there any mistake? I also stocked up several boxes of Yaoyao food pastries for my younger brothers and sisters. Damn it, they are rubbish.

Those merchants who cooperated with the factory have withdrawn their counters one after another and sued Yaoyao Foods for damaging their reputation, eager to express their position.

Elara Xia turned off her phone and leaned back in her chair. The crisis of the snowstorm caught people off guard.

As soon as she got out of the car, she saw reporters crowding the three floors inside and outside the entrance of the factory. Neighbor leaders also blocked the road, and they all talked about how unclear the factory was.

Before Elara Xia was discovered, she went from the alley to the back door of her neighbor next door. The two yards were connected, and her neighbor usually helped look after the factory.

Seeing that it was Elara Xia knocking on the door, he hurriedly pulled her in.

In the 2,000-square-meter food factory, the machines used to hum and hum, but now a big light came on in the workshop, and the machines squatted in place dully.

Damon Xia and Liana Nie were sitting in the workshop, struggling. The sales manager, Wang Bo, was walking around making phone calls, but was offended by the partners on the phone.

Hearing the footsteps, several people were startled, thinking that it was the crazy reporters outside who had broken in.

After seeing clearly that it was Elara Xia, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yao Yao, why are you here? Did the reporters outside hurt you?"

Liana Nie stood up and held her daughter's hand, with tears still on her face.

Elara Xia felt extremely uncomfortable when she saw her father sitting there with his head down and scratching his hair, "Mom, what's going on? Is what is said on the Internet true?"

In fact, Liana Nie doesn't need to respond accurately, she already has the answer in her heart.

If there is no conclusive evidence, how can there be an uproar, and those merchants will not be wise enough to withdraw from the counters.

Liana Nie's eyes turned red quickly and she looked at her without saying anything.

Elara Xia understood everything.

She recalled the spine-tingling comments on the Internet. On the way here, she had never believed that the products in the factory were not up to standard. She had also grown up eating those snacks over the years.

"Dad, food is related to people's health. Why are you so confused? Your original intention in building the factory was to create low-cost green and healthy food so that every customer can eat with confidence."

"Why adulterate? Don't you know that dangerous food will make you sick if you eat it for a long time? Most of the consumers are children and the elderly."

Being scolded by his daughter in public was not a slap in the face.

The food issue is not only a credibility issue but also a character issue. After the news broke, the condemnation he received almost bent his back.

Uncle Wang stepped forward to persuade him.

Elara Xia couldn't listen, and her blood kept rising, "The sophistry is all an excuse. Food safety is basic. If the materials are expensive, you will earn less. This is not an excuse to shoddy goods."

When people are under too much pressure, their tempers will become irritable, and they may even speak out loud. Damon Xia stood up and vomited his bitterness.

"Do you think Dad is willing to overflow with good products? The materials are getting more expensive every year, and the tastes of those customers are getting more sophisticated every year. They also need a long shelf life and good taste. Do you think it is easy to compete in Beijing and Hong Kong?"

"The rent for this factory is hundreds of thousands a year. Machinery and labor cost money. Other businesses also adulterate and send gifts to the Food Bureau every year. This is a tacit business rule. Big brands can expose toxins. Not to mention small manufacturers."

Elara Xia could not imagine that these words came from the mouth of her father whom she had always admired.

Philistine, calculating, and heartless.

Damon Xia turned his head to avoid his daughter's injured sight.

"How can you walk by the river without getting wet shoes? Our family moved here from Lin'an County. We live in a high-rise building and drive a new car. You need money for tuition and interest classes every year. If you want to stay here, you have to give up some things. "

These words hurt even more.

Liana Nie cried softly and hugged Elara Xia, trying to make her daughter understand.

Elara Xia's outlook on life seemed to be suddenly severely impacted. She grew up in a small honeypot and never worried about money.

She didn't recognize her father's selfish behavior, but she couldn't refute that behind the selfishness, she actually enjoyed the favor.

It was also the first time I understood the pressure my parents were under.

Uncle Wang interrupted: "Just now...Lawyer Fang from Wanfu Jia sent a notice of termination of the contract, and our factory needs 30 million yuan in compensation and liquidated damages..."

Before Uncle Wang finished speaking, Damon Xia collapsed to the ground.

Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this huge amount.

They had just signed a three-year contract with Jiawanfu half a month ago, and their business was booming. They were not happy for a long time, but when quality inspection problems in the factory were exposed, they would definitely not be able to continue supplying goods.

Termination of the contract is inevitable, and the factory will indeed have to pay the compensation.

Damon Xia trembled and said, "The goods I gave Wanfu to my family are all good."

Uncle Wang couldn't bear to say it and took a deep breath: "The contract with Jiawanfu specifically lists the issue of credit compensation. Now except Jiawanfu, other community supermarkets are demanding compensation. I made preliminary calculations, about... five thousand If consumers sue collectively, the compensation would be unimaginable."
