Today is a good day for Huangji Pastry.

Boss Jiao complacently filled in the information on the delivery note.The ten cakes I ordered this morning are neatly placed in the cabinet, just waiting to be delivered.

The long-awaited big client was lost and recovered, in the final analysis, thanks to his business skills.

"Brother, it's amazing." The person who came in from the door was Boss Jiao's second younger brother, and he patted Boss Jiao's shoulder yelling, "Is it done like this?"

"It's done." Boss Jiao straightened up, with a proud face, "The person in charge of the kindergarten came early in the morning and said that because of the food hygiene problems in the kindergarten that were spread on the Internet, he would publicly apologize in front of the media in the afternoon and show parents the long-term The cooperating brand is going to open on-site tasting, and ordered a cake with us—do you think we can do both business and publicity?"

"Kindergarten is also smart." The second brother knocked on the table, "It's much easier to establish a positive image for the masses than to wash white."

"That's right. It is said that a public relations team came to the store today to take pictures and do an interview, and the kindergarten is rushing to produce promotional materials." Boss Jiao lit a cigarette for himself, and blew slowly, "They The senior management also decided to sign a long-term cooperation agreement with our store at the event site."

"Damn, brother!" The second brother slapped the table, "With the contract in hand, I don't have to worry about others snatching the business!"

"It's lucky to have you to help me this time." Boss Jiao shook his head meaningfully, and said in a low voice, "It's just that kid who hasn't even grown his hair yet. He wanted to fight an old world like me very early."

He tossed the bill of lading on the table hastily, and said in a long voice: "Cutting off a person's fortune is like killing one's parents—"

The delivery location on the list is impressively written as "Sunflower Kindergarten".

He has been interested in this business for a long time.

Kindergartens hold activities every year, and the demand for pastries is particularly large. In addition, there are many children. As long as the supply is stable, the storage can make a lot of money.

What's more, the kindergarten is so rich - the young person in charge came today, just picked a few basic styles at random, but because he was in a hurry, he paid double the expedited fee.

Boss Jiao thought happily, young people nowadays are easy to deal with.

Even though Lu Xiangyang ran all the way, he couldn't stop the ten cakes that Zhou Xi bought with a huge sum of money.

When he walked into Teacher Miaomiao's office, the people in the room were huddled together, chatting about something.

Lu Xiangyang looked around, they were all acquaintances.

I didn't see Zhou Xi.But Teacher Miaomiao, Xiaohua and Qingqing are all there.

"It's all here." Lu Xiangyang faintly felt that something big was about to happen, his temples jumped up, "What's going on?"

"Boss Zhou called, and he went to find evidence for you." Qingqing waved to him, took out her phone and showed it to Lu Xiangyang, "Here, look at this."

Lu Xiangyang leaned over to look at it, and it was a surveillance screenshot taken from above. The picture happened to show Wowo holding her grandmother, and beside him was a man talking to them. He was wearing a peaked cap, and his hands were particularly conspicuous. Cupcake boxes.

Several frames were cut in a row, and it was clearly seen that the man and the child exchanged cakes.

Lu Xiangyang secretly squeezed his fist.

"Boss Zhou Xi called up all the surveillance cameras around the kindergarten, and he found it." Qingqing patted him on the shoulder, "After the cake arrives, our plan can begin."

"Plan?" Lu Xiangyang only felt that he had been ill for two days, all the information was disconnected, and his mind was in a mess. "What plan? What about Zhou Xi?"

Qingqing raised her hand and pointed downstairs.

The preparations for the tasting are already in full swing.Lu Xiangyang was lying on the railing upstairs, and saw Zhou Xi walking around the venue at a glance.

Zhou Xi was wearing a suit today, and the close-fitting tailoring made his figure even more dignified and upright.Lu Xiangyang stared at his straight back and well-groomed hair, and when he turned his head sideways, he could see the slightly tightened beautiful neckline.

Several old trees in the garden were blown away by the typhoon, and their branches and leaves became thinner, and the light spots that leaked out intertwined with light and dark.The gentle sunlight caressed his slender neckline and stretched down, finally disappearing under the collar.

He stood in the field like an elegant black bird.

Lu Xiangyang swallowed involuntarily.

Zhou Xi was pressing his phone with his head buried.Just as Lu Xiangyang was about to send him a message, his WeChat responded.

-C: Don't come down.

Lu Xiangyang was a little nervous for no reason, so he replied.

-Sunflower Yilu moved forward: Okay, I see you.

He clicked to send, and immediately looked up to see Zhou Xi's reaction, and a strange feeling sprouted in his heart, itching, and he didn't know what he was eagerly looking forward to.

However, before Zhou Xi had time to read the second message, he suddenly put away his phone and strode forward.

——Boss Jiao of Huangji Cake personally delivered the custom-made cake.

Boss Jiao wore a suede suit jacket, dark blue-gray, which made his figure look wider, like a walking kiwi.He shook hands with Zhou Xi warmly at the door, and walked into the venue in high spirits.

Zhou Xi nodded to Kiwi, as if to say "happy cooperation."

While guessing the shape of Zhou Xi's lips when speaking, Lu Xiangyang suddenly remembered the close lips in his dream.

Bah, what time is it, what is on my mind.

Lu Xiangyang shook his head severely.

"Stand back." Qingqing pulled him back, "It's almost time."

As soon as Lu Xiangyang turned his head, he saw Xiaohua walking out of the house carrying a box of things.

This is the evidence cake brought back from Wowo's house three days ago.Huangji is a bad old man. All the labels and stickers on the packaging have been torn off. It is so bare that it is impossible to tell which company produced it.

"Sister Qingqing, shall we go?"

Lu Xiangyang stood up and said, "Where are you going?"

"Swap this cake in." With an innocent face, Huahua held up the evidence cake in her hand, "Mr. Zhou said that the things that Boss Jiao sent must be returned to him intact."

The canned fruit on the surface of the cake has oxidized and discolored, so it must be rancid.

Lu Xiangyang remembered Zhou Xi's words "difficult to distinguish" before he left after eating tomato and egg noodles, and looked at the movable cake downstairs that was almost the same in style.

I understood for a moment.

"Let me do it, my hands are more stable than yours." Lu Xiangyang tied his braids a little higher, found a hat to fasten it, and said in a low voice, "The specifications of these two sets of packaging are different, so we have to change the pads underneath. "

The venue was very lively.According to the front-line news from Teacher Miaomiao, even the parents who are usually absent from the parent-teacher meeting came on time this time.

In the past few days, the leaders of the kindergarten have been panicked by the parents. Some asked about the food in the kindergarten, some blamed the kitchen for not being fully equipped, and a few even took this as a threat to take the lead to the kindergarten to ask for a full-year tuition refund. of.

The newly appointed director was still young and panicked.Fortunately, the kindergarten has been in operation for many years, and with Aunt Xu's rich experience, she immediately notified the kindergarten for self-inspection, and with the help of Zhou Xi, the response was extremely fast, so it did not cause too serious an impact.

After the leaders finished their speeches, the host invited Mr. Jiao from Huangji Bakery to introduce the brand. The ten ordered cakes were also cut by the staff on the spot and distributed one by one.

Boss Jiao seemed to be determined to win, and when he was happy, he spoke louder, and the microphone and speakers buzzed.

It's a pity that some joy always comes very short-lived.

When opening a certain cake, the staff responsible for cutting the cake suddenly changed his expression. He lowered his head and sniffed it carefully, only to see that his face turned pale, and he let out an uncontrollable retching sound in the public.

For a while, the scene was silent, and the audience stretched their necks to watch.

Seeing this, Zhou Xi frowned and walked over from the stage: "What's wrong?"

"It's rotten...the cake is rotten." The staff pinched his nose uncomfortably, "This smell is too strong..."

Zhou Xi's face darkened.

"Impossible!" Boss Jiao obviously didn't expect this to happen. The background screen behind him was still scrolling the promotional pictures of Huangji taken by the kindergarten team. "These cakes were all just made today!"

The staff tried to cut a knife, and the smell of spoiled fruit came out, and the parents in the front row covered their noses one after another.

In this strong smell, the explanation seems too thin.

"Boss Jiao." Zhou Xi's voice suppressed anger, "Isn't it because the progress is too late and you took out the cakes in stock?"

"No, no, no! I guarantee it with my personality! Today's order is definitely fresh!" He ran down from the stage to see what happened, but he couldn't help but look at the goods in his store, so he could only show his face Surprised, "How is it possible? Our store sells it on the spot. We have only made two orders for this cake recently! I remember clearly that the last order was three days ago, so there is no way it was an overnight order."

Boss Jiao would never have imagined that just now in the background, Lu Xiangyang, relying on a pair of rock-steady hands, switched the old and new cakes with the same style, and the change was seamless.

"Oh? Three days ago?" Zhou Xi squinted his eyes at him, and raised the cooperation contract book in his hand. If something goes wrong, how do you prove it?"

Damn it, how can a duck with its beak jump like this.

Boss Jiao's eyes couldn't help following the contract up and down, his back was sweating with anxiety: "Monitoring! There is monitoring in the back kitchen of the store! I can have someone deliver it right away!"

"That's unnecessary." Zhou Xi smiled slightly, "When the kindergarten went to your store to collect materials for the promotional video, it also copied the surveillance video from the back kitchen and the store as a file according to the rules and regulations."

Although it was cold and windy, Boss Jiao always felt that he couldn't finish wiping off the sweat on his forehead.

"Excuse me, the same cake you mentioned three days ago." Zhou Xi clapped his hands, "Do you mean this one?"

As soon as his applause fell, the promotional video on the stage stopped.The screen switches to the monitoring screen.

In front of Huangji store, a delivery employee wearing a peaked cap, wearing a peaked cap.Holding a fruit cake of the same style in his hand.

"That's right, that's right!" Boss Jiao shouted immediately, "That's him! The packaging is different! Do you see that? There are no labels on this cake, it can't be today's one!"

"That's not necessarily the case." Zhou Xi said, "Because the cake that was cut just now happened to be the one from three days ago."

Boss Jiao raised his eyes vigilantly: "...What do you mean?"

Zhou Xi bent down and pulled out the same cake from under the table, the packaging was exactly the same as in the picture.

There was an uproar.

Boss Jiao's eyes widened in shock: "This cake, isn't it already, already..."

"Already eaten?" Zhou Xi laughed, "I didn't expect the child to hand him over to the teacher, did you?"

Although they used interrogative sentences, Teacher Miao Miao, who was operating the projector, understood. She tapped the keyboard quickly, and a new surveillance video was squeezed in from the right side of the screen.

With contrast, the picture is clear at a glance.In the two videos, the staff and the cake are exactly the same.The employee in the peaked cap was holding a fruit cake, and was stopping the kid in the kindergarten uniform, talking to him about something.

In the last few seconds of the video, what the employees exchanged was actually the well-known trouble in the hands of the child—Sunflower Studio cupcakes.

A sharp-eyed parent was the first to yell, "I saw it! Huangji took the fruitcake and replaced it with the cupcake! The cupcake was taken away by Huangji!"

Someone shouted: "How can you give food to children indiscriminately! You have ulterior motives!"

The people behind followed suit and shouted, "Is the video of the steel wire on the little cake sent by Huang Ji!"

The crowd in the audience burst into exclamations and sighs, and all their eyes were directed at Boss Jiao.

Zhou Xi raised his eyes and smiled suddenly: "You have taken great pains to distribute three-no products to our kindergarten students, second is to frame and slander the kindergarten's reputation, and third is to maliciously attack fellow merchants with rumors. You have done so much just to tell us today. Kindergarten looking for a long-term cooperation?"

"Huang Ji is a liar!" Some parents couldn't hold back their anger, "Because of this matter, I even took the child to the hospital for a physical examination! Liar!"

"That's right!" One opened his mouth, and the others behind him also shouted, "The whole family has been worrying about it for several days!"

"This is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!" Boss Jiao wiped off his sweat and tried to calm down, "How could I do such a thing in a ten-year-old store? Besides, I have never seen any cupcakes at all." , This is an employee behavior, there is no evidence, so you can't talk nonsense."

"Of course you think there is no evidence." Zhou Xi's tone was very light, but he was as gloomy as before a storm, "Because the evidence of tampering in the back kitchen has been deleted from the corresponding monitoring by you. In your monitoring, the corresponding key time segment is missing by an hour."

Boss Jiao thought to himself that he deleted it quickly, and before he had time to rejoice, Zhou Xi's next sentence made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

"But don't forget, the deleted monitoring can be recovered. What's more, did you forget to clean up the monitoring at the entrance of your store?"

The screen switched again, and the video showed the entrance of Huangji Bakery again, and the employees in peaked hats hurried into the room with small sunflower paper cups.

Surveillance clearly captured that Boss Jiao greeted him from the door that day, and took the paper cups and packaging back to the store.

"Okay, Mr. Jiao." A management staff couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up and patted the table angrily, "If we didn't seek cooperation today and go to your store to collect promotional materials, our kindergarten would almost be ruined!"

"No, it's not!" Boss Jiao gritted his teeth and argued, "Everyone listen to me, as an insider, I have always heard that the small sunflower cake is made by Xiaohei Workshop! There are also videos on the Internet that are widely circulated. Right? I came here for the sake of the children's health!"

Zhou Xi said coldly: "Really."

"Yes, that's right." Boss Jiao finally straightened his waist again, "Even if their official clarification tweet put a seemingly clean production process, but the shop is so small, where did the 2000 cupcakes come from? Yes, who can say for sure! I am adhering to the conscience of bakers in the industry!"

"What a coincidence." Zhou Xi threw the USB flash drive in his hand to the console not far away, "Mr. Meow, broadcast this."

The audience's melons are getting bigger and bigger, and they are dumbfounded now.

This is a full video.

Teacher Miaomiao used an accelerated projection, and the picture was shot from the door of the Sunflower Studio store, and on the way from the cake to the kindergarten, without missing a second.

During this period, the camera clearly captured Lu Xiangyang busy in and out, from packing boxes in the store, packing and pasting stickers, then carrying them to the car, then on the way to the kindergarten, and once at the scene of the ceremony for carrying them into the kindergarten, The picture is coherent and smooth, clear and seamless.

"Who recorded this?" Lu Xiangyang's jaw dropped in shock. He was wearing a hat and a mask, hiding in the background with Qingqing Xiaohua, where he could clearly see the original screen of the console computer.

All the surveillance cameras in his store couldn't gather such a clear picture, and this video was shot to the end, and it could smash all the rumors on the Internet in one go.

"I know!!!" Qingqing slapped her thigh suddenly, "It's Zhou Xi's car!"

Lu Xiangyang's mind couldn't keep up for a moment: "Car?"

"You are stupid!" Qingqing punched him excitedly, "Travel recorder! Recorder!
