Qiao Zhixia had just obtained the couple's information and had not yet figured out how to help Sister Juan get justice, but that woman attacked Qiao Zhixia first.

That day, she received a call from the branch's financial department. The government tax department asked them to cooperate with the tax audit, saying that they suspected the company of tax evasion.

In addition, something unexpected happened in her restaurant. More than a dozen diners suffered from vomiting and diarrhea after having breakfast. Suspecting that their ingredients were not fresh, they broke into the kitchen to check.

Upon checking, four or five mice were fished out from the pot of boiling soup, which had been skinned but not gutted.

Many diners vomited on the spot, and were even more indignant: "No wonder I always think the food in this restaurant is so delicious, it turns out that they use rat meat to enhance the flavor!"

"Bah! Not only is it rat meat, but they didn't even remove the internal organs. This is such a shameless black shop! The owner should be arrested and shot!"

A large group of diners gathered outside the restaurant and started a disturbance.

The regulatory authorities also promptly ordered the restaurant to be temporarily closed for investigation.

These troubles came at such a coincidence that Qiao Zhixia knew that someone was deliberately trying to make things difficult for her. It was not difficult to guess who the other person was.

Obviously, Zhang Yanmei also investigated her when she returned, but unfortunately, she was impatient to take action without thoroughly investigating her.

It is said that the people should not fight against the officials, but they are too naive to think that they can crush her to death with just some tricks.

Qiao Zhixia directly gave the restaurant employees a week off, which was a good opportunity for them to have a good rest.

If they want to check the company's taxes, they can do so. She has always been honest and upright, and has never evaded taxes. Every account is clear and transparent, so she is not afraid of their inspection.

As for the dozen or so customers who claimed food poisoning and demanded compensation, she called the police directly. As long as they had evidence to prove that the problem was with the food in her restaurant, she would compensate them, otherwise she would hold them accountable.

A few days after the restaurant closed down, the head of the unit with which she signed the lease contract found the restaurant manager and demanded to terminate the contract. They wanted to take back the house.

Qiao Zhixia was so angry that she laughed. They wanted to take back the contract before it expired? What the hell were they thinking?

If she guessed correctly, someone saw that her business was so good and wanted to take over and run it themselves, right?

Just as Qiao Zhixia expected, after Zhang Yanmei learned about the income of Qiao Zhixia's restaurant during the tax check, she began to think about grabbing her piece of the pie.

She wanted to squeeze Qiao Zhixia out and take over herself.

As for Qiao Zhixia's company's tax issues, she originally firmly believed that no businessman was clean, but she didn't expect that after checking again and again, she couldn't find any suspicion of Jing Yang evading taxes.

"The Jingyang Group has some background. Just give them a warning and don't make things too ugly." Zhang Yanmei received this reminder from her 60-year-old father.

But she was unwilling to accept it and she couldn't swallow that anger.

"Since we didn't find any problems this time, we'll investigate again in a few days. We'll investigate until their company can no longer operate and they kneel down and kowtow to me!"

Sister Juan learned that Qiao Zhixia was currently being targeted by Zhang Yanmei, and she felt so guilty that she brought gifts and went to her home to apologize.

Qiao Zhixia's life was not greatly affected. She still focused on her studies, and her career matters were temporarily managed by a dedicated person in charge.

The more difficult problem at the moment is that the food poisoning incident has caused a big stir and has even been reported in the newspapers. This incident has indeed had a significant negative impact on Sunac's brand.

Sister Juan also learned about these troubles from the newspaper. Because of her problems, Qiao Zhixia was targeted. She felt very sorry and kept saying sorry.

Qiao Zhixia comforted her for a few words, and then went straight to the point: "Do you mind if I make your story public?"

"As long as I can get justice, I don't mind. As long as you have a way, just do it!" Sister Juan said firmly.

"Okay, I understand. Don't worry! It will be over soon..."

After Sister Juan left, Assistant Wen Zhu stepped forward and suggested, "Boss, why don't you give President Qin a call and ask him to help deal with it."

Qiao Zhixia didn't even raise her head: "No need, if I can't handle such a small matter, what's the point of living here?"

Qin Yunlang has a lot of things to do herself. If she can't handle such a small thing, then there is no need for her to expand her business so much.

Although she did not take the initiative to mention her current troubles to Qin Yunlang, it did not mean that Qin Yunlang knew nothing about it.

When the two talked on the phone at night, Qin Yunlang asked her more than once if there was anything she needed his help with, but she refused every time.

Qin Yunlang knew that his wife had a strong personality, so he stopped forcing her, but he still asked someone to keep an eye on her situation so that they could help her when needed.

She went to the hospital in person and met with the group of people who were still hospitalized. In order to get benefits from Qiao Zhixia, they were determined to stay in the hospital.

"If you don't pay the compensation we demand, you will never be able to open your store again."

"I heard you make a lot of money every day. You must be worried, right?"

"Give me the money quickly! Five thousand per person. We won't reconcile even a cent less." A group of men, women, old and young, all showed their vicious faces in order to extort money.

Qiao Zhixia was not in a hurry. She waited until they had finished speaking before she spoke slowly, "Are you sure you got poisoned by eating the food in our restaurant?"

"How can it be false?"

"Do you have any evidence?"

"So many of us got into trouble after dining at your restaurant. How could this be false? What other evidence do you need?"

"Whether it's true or not, let's go to court and discuss it! You have no evidence to prove that there is something wrong with our food, but I can prove that it was a false accusation staged by you!"

"You...what are you talking about?"

Perhaps because they were feeling guilty, some people who couldn't hold their temper had already changed their expressions. Qiao Zhixia didn't say any more nonsense, and only said coldly:

"If you are willing to tell the truth today and tell me who instructed you to do this, and bravely identify who it was, I will not only not care about it, but also give you some money. If you still choose to be stubborn, then we will see you in court! Before the court's ruling, Jing Yang will not pay a penny for medical expenses."

After Qiao Zhixia finished speaking, she turned and left with her assistant and bodyguards.

The dozen or so people in the ward looked at each other in bewilderment as they watched her leave. Some people murmured guiltily, "What if she really wants to sue? Does she really have evidence?"

A self-righteous man with glasses said disdainfully: "How is it possible? She is trying to cheat us, otherwise she would have offered to give us money?"

"Yes! Don't be fooled by her! This woman is very rich. Don't think she can get rid of us with just a little money..."

Qiao Zhixia was not thrown off balance by Zhang Yanmei's self-righteous suppression. She continued to live her life in an orderly manner. When she had free time, she would go upstairs to ask Sister Juan to teach her how to play mahjong.

The public opinion against Jing Yang became more and more intense, and the sales of Jing Yang's products in Guangcheng dropped by 20% that month.

When the tax department came to check the accounts for the third time in one month, Qiao Zhixia made an appointment with Zhang Yanmei to talk...

The place where the two met was the private room of the western restaurant booked by Zhang Yanmei. As soon as Qiao Zhixia entered the room, she saw Zhang Yanmei's smug face.

"Hmph, do you know what happens if you offend me? You can't handle it anymore? You think you can ignore me just because you have a little bit of money in this business. This is a lesson for you!"

Qiao Zhixia put down her bag and sat down on the sofa opposite her. She was not angry, but asked calmly: "Your father is the district party secretary, and your husband is the deputy director of the tax bureau. Is this how they abuse their power? Aren't you afraid that it will get out and ruin their future?"

"Oh, now that you've already checked and know who I am, you should understand what the consequences will be if you offend me. I can make it impossible for you to survive in Guangcheng with just a flick of my finger!" Zhang Yanmei stirred her coffee with a squinting look, unable to suppress the smugness on the corners of her mouth.

Seeing her smug look, Qiao Zhixia cooperated with her and showed an indignant and aggrieved expression: "I am a legitimate businessman, and all my business activities are in compliance with the law. Why do you want me to be unable to survive in Guangcheng?"

Zhang Yanmei raised her hand and blew away the non-existent dust on her fingertips, snorting softly: "Why? Don't you know very well? Of course it's because I have someone behind me. If I want to, I can kill a nouveau riche like you with just a flick of my finger."

"So you deliberately let your husband use his position to repeatedly check my company's taxes, and hired someone to throw a rat into the soup pot in my kitchen to discredit my restaurant, just to intimidate me?"

"Who told you, a bitch, to be so blind as to provoke me?"
