Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress

Chapter 731 - 740

731 The Perfect Mr. Si

As the news revolving Wen Xinya’s abduction began to die down, the Administrative Bureau of Business and Commerce also began screening supermarket products and the news regarding the matter also spread across all media platforms. Due to the fact that supermarkets played a huge role in the lives of many, the news received widespread attention.

Actually, the Xia Family’s supermarkets were the most affected.

Wen Xinya stared at the news report which read: “One of our reporters have found that the Administrative Bureau of Business and Commerce have begun conducting large scale quality checks on various supermarkets, an initiative sparked by the recent seizure of unsafe products that did not meet the standard requirements, which were found in the Xia Family’s chain supermarkets. There were quality issues found with the products including canned food, packaged food, meat products, daily necessities, home appliances, cosmetic products, and many others. The Administrative Bureau of Business and Commerce has issued the Xia Family with a million-yuan fine and demanded that they remove the prohibited products from the shelves.”

“I’m a reporter from this news channel and I’m currently at the Xia Family supermarket branch in the Southern District. Some insiders working in the supermarket have informed me that the Xia Family is still selling the prohibited item, despite the orders to remove them. We’ve already contacted the supermarket management staff, but they have all remained tight-lipped about it. They did not answer my questions directly. My fellow reporters have also contacted the higher authority, but they refused to acknowledge this. They simply said that the staff was ignorant.”

“I’m a reporter from this news channel. I’m currently in one of the Xia Family supermarket branches on the West side of the Southern Region. The media has already reported about the Xia Family selling the prohibited items, thus sparking outrage amongst customers. They’ve shown up at the supermarket branches with the prohibited products that they had purchased previously and demanded for compensation. There are also some agitated customers who have smashed eggs at the signboards. Some have also splashed red paint in order to express their displeasure!”

“I’m a reporter from this news channel. I’m currently in one of the supermarket branches in the Northern District. I was informed that the personnel from the Administrative Bureau of Business and Commerce will be conducting quality checks in the supermarket branches at eleven o’clock this morning, along with the CEO of the Xia Family supermarket chain, General Manager Xia Haolin.”

Wen Xinya was eating some fruit while watching the news reports about the Xia Family on the television.

The Xia Family was merely an affluent family in the city that was not wealthy or prestigious enough to be included in the upper-class society. This time, the major checks and quality control exercises had been sparked by the Xia Family and they had been affected the most. Besides, the Xia Family’s main target consumer group was average citizens and hence, had a wide network of consumers. The hunter would shoot the bird that stuck out.

Wen Xinya had a part to play in causing the news to be spread so widely across all platforms.

Zhou Tianyu entered the ward with some fresh strawberries and said, “I bought some fresh strawberries. Would you like to have some?”

Wen Xinya’s eyes lit up. Strawberries were her favorite fruit and they happened to be in season. “Of course!”

Amused by how tempted she was, Zhou Tianyu laughed and teased. “Such a glutton!”

Feeling indignant, Wen Xinya retorted. “Since you’re not a glutton, I’ll finish the strawberries by myself. You’re not allowed to vie for them with me.”
