Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack! Chapter 249 - 248: Formula Disclosure (Fourth Update)

Everyone was in an uproar, and Gu Rushan was stunned.

Reporters scrambled to take photos, with many holding microphones to interview the police and epidemic prevention staff. "Officer, what does the secret recipe comparison an this ti?"

"Does it an that this Gu Family Spicy Old Hot Pot’s recipe isn’t from Gu Family Spicy Hot Pot, and that Gu Family Spicy Old Hot Pot should take full responsibility?"

"What will happen to Shang Wenming? Will he be arrested?"

"What about Gu Rushan? Will he go to jail?"

Gu Rushan was already pale with fear, collapsing to the ground, muttering to himself, "Impossible, impossible. How could this be?"

Shang Wenming was also terrified. If he couldn’t prove that the recipe belonged to Gu Family Spicy Hot Pot, what would happen to him?

"Impossible, I really copied this recipe from the shelf in the ingredient room. I didn’t lie. It must be, it must be these police and their Gu Family Spicy Hot Pot colluding to cover up the truth. That’s it."

Shang Wenming was almost hysterically babbling nonsense.

The reporters were even more shocked. Could it be that the police were abusing their power for personal gain?

Caras were all pointed at the police.

The police didn’t know how to explain; when would this end?

But there was no way to make it clear.

"Officer, is it as Shang Wenming says?"

"Are you engaged in so undisclosed private dealings with Gu Family Spicy Hot Pot?"

"No wonder you just said you couldn’t divulge the secret recipe. It was to shut us out while you went in to make a private deal."

Reporters with boundless imagination were now even more open-minded.

The police were also in a bind; a situation that was originally nonexistent had suddenly turned into an accusation of them taking bribes. This was a great injustice.

We’re more wronged than Dou’e!

Gu Xiaoqing clapped her hands and said, "Everyone, don’t get excited. Don’t be easily misled by villains’ words. I believe everyone has doubts about this matter. To clear the suspicion from our Gu Family Spicy Hot Pot, I can allow everyone to personally inspect the hot pot base recipe of Haidilao. I also hope the police and epidemic prevention staff will disclose the other party’s secret recipe. With such a comparison, everyone will understand, even if it ans a significant loss for us.

But to clear our suspicion, we are willing to let everyone supervise, which also proves our honesty and consistent responsible attitude towards custors. I hope everyone does not misunderstand us because of this.

We have been in business for the long haul, and it’s not just about this one Gu Family Spicy Hot Pot. We are soon opening a new Gu Family Self-service Barbecue, and we have always adhered to a philosophy of treating people with sincerity, so we are willing to suffer a loss this ti. It’s just so everyone can understand our innocence."

As these words were spoken, the reporters were in an uproar. This wasn’t a simple matter of a sentence; it involved a major issue of a secret recipe. Everyone knew how popular Haidilao’s business was, but to prove their innocence, and in the face of a potentially malicious sar by a rival, they were willing to disclose their secret recipe to give the public an explanation. What kind of magnanimity and courage is this?

No wonder the Gu Family Spicy Hot Pot could open so many chain stores here; the boldness of their boss was enough to support this.

And what’s this new Gu Family Self-service Barbecue?

Judging by the na, it’s sothing trendy. Many sharp-sensed reporters had already caught the scent of the latest news information. The Gu Family had big plans.

So everyone’s attention imdiately shifted to the new store Gu Family was opening this ti.

Gu Xiaoqing personally led the reporters, police, and epidemic prevention staff back to the ingredient room. The Zhang Brothers had already instinctively covered other spicy hot pot base recipes. They couldn’t just disclose Haidilao’s and also reveal the spicy hot pot’s, could they?

So after all the reporters looked at this latest Haidilao recipe and took photos, the epidemic prevention staff cooperatively brought out the Gu Family Spicy Old Hot Pot recipe, and the reporters also took photos.

Upon comparing the two, everyone saw that these clearly were not the sa recipes. Although there were shared ingredients, such as certain Chinese dicinal herbs like goji berries and red dates, the rest was very different, including the soup base and the proportions inside.

It simply couldn’t be the sa recipe.

And the contents of the recipe were visibly taken from the ingredient cabinet earlier, with a thin layer of grease on the plastic cover, produced during the work in the ingredient room.

All the reporters saw it.

So no one doubted the authenticity of this recipe.

The accusations burst out imdiately, "What kind of person is this? For personal gain, trying to extract a recipe from others and using Haidilao’s na, but in reality, it was put together by themselves.

Well, now people got sick from eating it."

"Such a person should be executed; their intentions are too malicious."

"Luckily it was just diarrhea; if it were sothing else, people could have died."

"Exactly, maybe it was Shang Wenming’s doing."

Gu Xiaoqing thought with a bit of embarrassnt that she never intended to harm anyone. These diarrhea issues weren’t big problems, just affecting certain people’s constitutions. She didn’t want to take things too far.

Just wanted to teach them a lesson, and naturally, the current effect was more than satisfactory.

Gu Rushan and Shang Wenming were completely stupefied.

Once inside, the reporters’ public opinion turned overwhelmingly against them, and no one would believe them.

The police walked out without saying a word, taking people back to the station for questioning.

Shang Wenming was also taken away.

The farce here finally stopped.

What would ultimately happen to Gu Rushan and Shang Wenming, Gu Xiaoqing didn’t know, but on the headlines the next day, major newspapers and dia prominently reported on the false accusation against Gu Family Spicy Hot Pot, and of course, there were reports on the Gu Family Self-service Barbecue that Gu Xiaoqing envisioned.

This was an advertisent effect in disguise.

Gu Xiaoqing could almost be sure that on the opening day in the future, Gu Family Self-service Barbecue’s business would reach a new height. Of course, the subsequent work still needed to be done adequately.

She was already preparing to open earlier, taking advantage of the ferntation of this event and the public’s heated discussion on this topic. This was the best opportunity to create montum.
