Chapter 214 Problem Arises [Second Update]

Soon, Ge Dongxu had consecutively inscribed ten Taiyin Spirit Gathering Jade Talismans, except for two that had issues, all others were successfully completed in one go.

The "zi" hour soon arrived, and Ge Dongxu arranged the Jade Talismans one by one. When the number reached nine, the spiritual energy stopped changing.

However, within the Formation, the rich and pure Taiyin essence was already making Ge Dongxu feel as comfortable as if he were bathing in the sunlight. His realm was still at the Sixth Layer of Qi Cultivation, and such a density of spiritual energy was already sufficient to meet his cultivation needs.

An hour later, when the cultivation had ended, Ge Dongxu felt the True Qi surge within his body, filling him with strength.

Because of this sensation, Ge Dongxu did not immediately go back to sleep, but instead took out a piece of jade and started to inscribe it with the Seven Stars Spirit Gathering Formation.

Although the final result was sure to be a failure, trying to inscribe the Seven Stars Spirit Gathering Formation pushed him to his limits, not only helping to condense and refine his spiritual power and True Qi but also serving as advanced practice for the Seven Stars Spirit Gathering Formation.

After all, the Taiyin Spirit Gathering Formation was too low-level, and even if he continued to change the jade, it would likely be hard to support his cultivation at the next layer.

After spoiling four pieces of jade, Ge Dongxu felt physically and mentally tired, so he stopped and stood up to go back to his room to rest.

In the following days, Ge Dongxu's cultivation resumed its regular pace, progressing each day, and sometimes at night when it was quiet, Ge Dongxu would also practice his Qinggong.

Due to frequent practice, his body coordination and True Qi operation had become increasingly proficient, allowing him to "fly" thirteenth or fourteenth meters effortlessly, even more fluently and naturally than those depicted in movies.

"What exactly is going on?" In the conference room of Qinglan Cosmetics Company, Liu Jiayao's pretty face was frosty as her severe gaze slowly swept over the two men and one woman standing before her.

These two men and one woman were the managers of the production, procurement, and quality control departments of Qinglan Cosmetics Company, respectively.

"We don't know either." The three managers dared not meet Liu Jiayao's eyes, only looking down at the Qinglan cosmetics laid out on the conference table, stammering with faces showing confusion.

At this moment, these classic Qinglan cosmetics were emitting a faintly unpleasant odor, though they should have had a pleasant fragrance.

"Don't forget you are the managers of the production, procurement, and quality control departments! With the product quality in this kind of situation, someone must be responsible. Fortunately, it was discovered early; this batch has yet to hit the market. Otherwise, can you imagine what the outcome would be?" Liu Jiayao's face turned ashen, as waves of fright washed over her from within.

If such products were to reach the market, Liu Jiayao was absolutely certain that the Qinglan brand, painstakingly built by her parents, would be destroyed overnight.

"Director Liu, please calm down. After this incident occurred, our production department immediately started a traceability investigation and did not find any signs of irregularities. And as you know, even if there is a problem, it's unlikely to happen to several different types all at once," said the production department manager.

"Are you implying that there were issues with the procurement and quality control departments?" Liu Jiayao asked.

"That's what I initially thought, but right after the problem occurred, I immediately reached out to Manager Yang and Manager Che. They promptly initiated an investigation and found that there were no issues with the raw materials," the production department manager said with a puzzled sigh.

The Manager Che he mentioned was Che Yingying. After the kickback incident at Mingyue Lake's revolving restaurant, Liu Jiayao, loving the house and its crow, focused on nurturing Che Yingying and soon found she indeed had some capabilities, which led to her recent promotion as the procurement department manager.

"President Liu, the surplus of this batch of raw materials can be easily checked, and there really is no problem," Che Yingying replied confidently.

"Perhaps it was just an accident! We must certainly investigate this, but now the key is to immediately allocate materials for production, otherwise we will run into supply issues." In the meeting room, a man about fifty years old said somberly, his face showing a trace of pain.

Qinglan Cosmetics targets the low-end market and relies on volume to win, with very limited product profit margins. The scrapping of this batch would absolutely be a huge loss for them.

"Uncle Hua's right. You must hurry and proceed with the next batch of production, but this time you must be careful and thorough to avoid any mistakes whatsoever," Liu Jiayao understood that investigating was one thing and continuing production was another, she nodded upon hearing this and then spoke seriously.

"Rest assured, President Liu, this time we will definitely be fully alert and ensure that no mistakes occur at any stage," all three managers solemnly replied and then left the meeting room.

"Jiayao, I heard that Li Bisheng from Li Fang had approached you to discuss cooperating with our Qinglan Cosmetics, and you refused?" After the managers left, a lean man in his early fifties with slightly graying hair pushed up his glasses and asked Liu Jiayao.

"Uncle Ren, how did you know that? Did Li Bisheng talk to you?" Liu Jiayao's heart skipped a beat as she asked composedly.

The matter had been discussed between her and Li Bisheng alone on the day, and Liu Jiayao had not mentioned it to anyone else afterwards.

"Whether or not Li Bisheng talked to me is not important. What's important is that with such a big matter, you should have consulted us. Although you are the majority shareholder, we, the minority shareholders, also have the right to know," the man known as Uncle Ren said, his expression slightly stern.

Uncle Ren's full name is Ren Chenle, and he's one of the shareholders of Qinglan Cosmetics. Zhang Huowang's relative that Che Yingying previously mentioned referred to him.

"Old Ren, that's enough. Qinglan Cosmetics has been built over the years with great effort from Brother Liu, his wife, and all of us. If we were to cooperate with Li Bisheng, he would definitely want to be the major shareholder, and personally, I don't agree with handing over Qinglan to him to manage," the man earlier referred to by Liu Jiayao as Uncle Hua saw that Ren Chenle's attitude was somewhat unfavorable and frowned slightly as he spoke.

Seeing Uncle Hua speak up, Ren Chenle opened his mouth, but ultimately remained silent.

Uncle Hua is the second largest shareholder of Qinglan Cosmetics. Together with Liu Jiayao, they owned sixty-three percent of the shares. He also disagreed, so it was meaningless for Ren Chenle to continue.

The meeting ended quickly.

"Uncle Hua, thank you," Liu Jiayao called out to Uncle Hua after the meeting.

"There's nothing to thank me for. I've dealt with Li Bisheng before. He seems gentle and refined on the surface, but he is very ambitious and not simple. If Qinglan were to merge with him, we might benefit in the short term, but eventually, he would devour us completely. Your choice was correct. In this way, although we can't make a fortune, we are steadily progressing, and I'm very satisfied," Uncle Hua said.

"Do you also think that Li Bisheng is not a good person?" Liu Jiayao couldn't help but recall Ge Dongxu's words when she heard this.

"Heh, the business world is full of trickery, what's there to talk about good or bad people? That the products had quality issues this time, I guess I'm thinking too much," Uncle Hua said. It seemed he suddenly remembered something, then laughed and shook his head as he walked out of the meeting room.

Liu Jiayao watched Uncle Hua's departing figure, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, feeling an inexplicable unease, yet unable to pinpoint the source.
