At the testing center.
The employee held the sheet of paper in his hands and looked at it in disbelief. Then, he looked at Master Lin. He was beyond dumbfounded.
He wasn’t shocked because there was a problem with Tianshu Milk but he was shocked that Master Lin had managed to discover this problem without the use of any kind of technology.
“Master Lin,” the employee spoke.
“Hmm?” Lin Fan answered curiously. Then, he smiled and patted the employee on the shoulder. “Thank you. I’ve troubled you.”
The employee shook his head. “Master Lin, I want to ask you how you found out about this?”
He was already shocked beyond words. He didn’t even know what to say. He just felt that it was too unreal. And having seen the situation on the Internet, he wondered if it was truly possible that Master Lin could taste such a thing.
But it didn’t make sense. How could someone taste something like that?
Lin Fan smiled calmly. “Didn’t I say on the Internet? I drank it and tasted the problem.”
“Master Lin, don’t lie to me. How can someone be able to sense the problem using one’s mouth?” The employee shook his head. He wouldn’t believe it even if he was beaten to death.
“Sigh!” Lin Fan sighed helplessly. It really made things hard for him when people didn’t believe him.
But things were good now. The test results were out, which meant that he had evidence now. What is up with that Tianshu Milk Company? I’ve clearly managed to prove the problem but they don’t believe me.
Right now, the situation on the Internet had become very intense.
“Master Lin, I shan’t ask about that anymore. But if we publicize this, it will be a huge blow to Tianshu Milk Company. It might even cause them to be ruined and many people would lose their jobs. Do you think we should settle this privately?” asked the employee.
He was quite worried about this. After all, it was a large corporation. If such a problem were to arise, it would be a big deal.
Lin Fan looked at the employee in surprise. “Why would you think that way?”
“Huh? Could it be that there’s a problem with my thinking?” The employee was taken aback. He didn’t feel as if there was anything wrong with his thinking. After all, he was considering the well-being of everyone. He didn’t want to see a bad outcome.
“There’s a huge problem.” Lin Fan looked at the sheet of paper and said, “Think about it. Do you think they’re more important or are the lives of countless citizens more important? Tianshu Milk Company’s slogan is ‘Children who drink Tianshu will have strong bodies’. If we don’t expose them, who knows how many children will drink this milk? Do you want those children to develop cancer when they reach twenty-something-years of age?”
When the employee heard that, he hastily waved his hands. “No, how could I have such thoughts?”
Lin Fan smiled. “You’ve done brilliantly. By delivering the test results quickly, you’ve saved even more people. This Tianshu Milk keeps saying that I’m slandering them and spreading false rumors. They’re saying that I’m retarded and I have nothing else to do. Now that the test results are out, let’s see what they have to say.”
Then, Lin Fan exchanged a few more words with the employee before leaving.
He was going to post the results on Weibo immediately for everyone to see.
Meanwhile, over at the Quality Inspection Office, they were busy inspecting as well since something like this had happened.
This matter had caused a huge impact. Tianshu Milk was an established brand. Hence, the Quality Inspection Office trusted their products very much. They would usually just check some of the samples sent by the company.
There had indeed been no problems with these tests but now that Master Lin had said on the Internet that there was a problem, they couldn’t just use the past test results to say that there was no problem.
In the end, they had sent someone to buy the currently-sold products for selective testing.
At that moment, in the testing lab, a group of people was standing rooted to the ground with their jaws dropped. That sheet of paper was placed on the table and none of them dared to pick it up.
Because they couldn’t bear the responsibility for this outcome.
“What do we do?” said one of the testers. His face was filled with fear and he was at a loss. They would have to bear full responsibility for this matter.
In the past, when they tested samples from Tianshu Milk, there had been no problems. But now that they had bought a bottle from outside, they discovered a huge problem.
This aflatoxin level had really exceeded the standard by a huge margin. The product had completely failed the requirements.
“How could we have known? It wasn’t us who discovered it but it was Master Lin. If this matter is exposed, we will lose our jobs. This is our responsibility.” One of the men was about to collapse. His heart was cold and trembling. He even thought of dying right there.
“Publicize it. That’s the only way to salvage the situation. If we still hesitate and wait until an irreversible stage, we will really be done for.”
This was the head office. If even they didn’t know about it, they would surely lose their jobs.
“Publicize it? Are we going to say that there’s a problem now?”
At that moment, the leader of the Quality Inspection Office rushed in. He picked up the sheet and took a look. He had an urge to scold someone but he decided to forget about it.
This was their mistake. They had been too trusting towards Tianshu Milk Company’s quality and they hadn’t taken the job seriously enough.
“Leader, what do we do now?” asked one of the employees.
They were really at a loss. They were the ones who had checked the products. Now that such a problem had occurred, if people were to investigate, they would have to bear the consequences.
The leader remained silent for a moment before saying, “Publicize it. Apologize. It was a lapse in our work and our trust in Tianshu Milk Company that has led to this.”
“But leader, if we say that, we will be scolded to death by the netizens.”
The leader glared at that employee. “Do you want to avoid getting scolded or do you want to suppress the issue? If we were the ones who discovered this problem first, perhaps we could have settled this privately.”
“But now, do you think Master Lin doesn’t have evidence?”
The employee said, “If Master Lin has evidence, why hasn’t he publicized it?”
“Stupid. You really are stupid. Master Lin is waiting for us to declare our position. We’re the Quality Inspection Head Office. If we don’t manage to discover it from our tests, what do you think will happen? Will the netizens still trust us? That’s why we have to hurry up and publicize it,” said the leader impatiently. Then, he sighed. “Although we’ve never interacted with Master Lin, Master Lin actually thought about us. In the future, when we have the chance, we definitely have to thank him in person.”
Hearing that, the employees nodded. So that’s what happened. At the same time, they were very grateful to Master Lin. they hadn’t expected Master Lin to care about their feelings.
But if Master Lin were to hear this, he would definitely say ‘Don’t f*cking overthink things. I was just waiting to get the test results.’
