Transmigrating to the 80s to Become Stepmom to Five Bigwigs

Chapter 342: Rats!

“You can save on other things, but not on this. Otherwise, inflammatory gynecology disorders might arise. Not only will you feel unwell, but you will also suffer…”

Actually, this problem had been discussed with the salespeople during their training. At the time, Mu Jingzhe had asked them to emphasize the concept of diligent change. The salespeople had mentioned it before, but people wouldn’t necessarily listen. If the salespeople kept harping on about it, the customers might feel that it wasn’t a worthwhile purchase, which in turn would affect sales. However, Mu Jingzhe hadn’t changed her mind.

After some persuasion, their attitudes slowly became calmer. Mu Jingzhe and Manager Lei heaved a sigh of relief. Just as Mu Jingzhe thought that this matter was about to be resolved, Madam Zhao, who was the woman in the checkered jacket, suddenly spoke.

“You might have a point, but I think our illness didn’t just come about because we’re using it wrong. There must be something wrong with your product too. This is something you need to improve on. After all, we can’t possibly keep getting up during the night to change. I believe many people sleep at night, so they can only change after at least six or seven hours.

“According to you, one can’t use the same pad for more than four to five hours. Then, if all the users face problems, who will dare to use it?”

Mu Jingzhe was helpless. She had actually thought of this before, but she hadn’t expected to be asked about it today.

“I’m not saying that there will definitely be problems. Besides, you can’t ask like that. If you say that, then what’s safe to use? The same problem is caused by the toilet paper that you’ve been using.

“The changing frequency of sanitary pads and toilet paper is the same. Of course, it’d be good if you could afford to change them during the day. The reason we don’t change them so frequently during the night is that people have to rest at night. This means that the sanitary pads are required to be at least safe and healthy. And our sanitary pads do meet the requirements, so they can be used continuously at night.

“But that’s because people need to rest at night. If you have the means in the day, why wouldn’t you change it? Why do you have to compare it to night usage? I think this is too far-fetched.”

Madam Zhao pursed her lips. “I don’t think it’s far-fetched. Anyway, I don’t trust you anymore. I simply feel that there might be something wrong with your product. It’s not up to standard.”

Mu Jingzhe paused for a moment. “Then what do you want?”

“After finding out the reason behind this, you should compensate the users accordingly. Otherwise, I won’t dare use it again.”

When she saw the attitude of Madam Zhao, who looked certain that there was something wrong with their product quality, doubt flashed across Mu Jingzhe’s mind.

As she listened to Madam Zhao, she wrote something in her notebook. Then, while no one was paying attention, she tore it off and handed it to the salesperson beside her.

The salesperson’s gaze moved, and she hid the note without any change in her expression. After two minutes, she pretended to pour water in a kettle and walked out with it.

Madam Zhao glanced at the salesperson and didn’t take it to heart. After she spoke to the other people, whose attitudes had changed, their attitudes became intense again and they started asking for compensation once more.

Madam Zhao didn’t reveal it, but she was good at manipulating people’s emotions. She hadn’t come with good intentions.

As if in response to Mu Jingzhe’s thoughts, the guard at the door notified her that the people from the supervision department had come for a sudden inspection because they had received a report that there was a problem with the sanitary pads produced by Mu Jingzhe’s factory.

Madam Zhao’s eyes lit up, and she seemed to heave a sigh of relief. “That’s great. It’s best if they come to check. We’ll be reassured then.”

When Mu Jingzhe walked out of the meeting room, the people from the supervision department had already started their sudden inspection. They told everyone not to do anything unnecessary and didn’t listen to Manager Lei.

Everyone was a little nervous, and Mu Jingzhe’s heart felt like it was hanging high in the air. She finally understood what was going on today. A chain of accusations was directed at them. If they were to find any problems during the inspection, it would be troublesome.

Mu Jingzhe and the others held their breath, but Madam Zhao’s eyes were shining.

The inspection took more than an hour, and no major hidden dangers were discovered in the factory. In the end, they took some samples and said that they would take them back for testing to see if they’d pass the quality check.

Mu Jingzhe heaved a sigh of relief, but Madam Zhao was stunned. “There’s nothing else?” She didn’t seem to believe it.

“We’ll perform a detailed test as soon as possible. We’ll inform you if there are any problems.”

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief except for Madam Zhao. Mu Jingzhe looked around and finally glanced at the vice team leader, who was in charge of the warehouse.

There seemed to be something wrong with her expression too. Everyone had sighed in relief, but she looked a little uneasy and distracted.

Mu Jingzhe sent Madam Zhao and the others away first. If they confirmed that there was a problem with the products, they wouldn’t avoid responsibility for the medical fees. However, without any other evidence, it was useless to say anything else. She asked them to patiently wait for the results.

After sending off Madam Zhao and the others, Mu Jingzhe asked everyone to go back to work and returned to her office.

She had just gone back when the salesperson she had given the slip of paper to came in, her face a little pale. “That was close, Boss. That was close.”

“What went wrong?” Mu Jingzhe asked directly.

“Warehouse Two.”

Upon hearing that a warehouse was to blame, Mu Jingzhe pursed her lips. “Elaborate.”

“After hearing what you said, I looked around. I also went to the warehouse to take a look, but I saw… a rat in the car that was already packed with our products and ready for transportation. When I heard that something was wrong outside, I asked the driver to load the car and drive out. It should be back by now.”

Mu Jingzhe followed the salesperson to take a look at the car and saw an awful mess inside. There were two fat rats and a few small mice. When she opened the car door, a strange odor wafted out. There were also messy, torn sanitary pads inside. It was a horrifying sight.

Mu Jingzhe’s heart sank when she saw this. She considered hygiene and safety the most important. Even the warehouse placed great importance on dryness and hygiene. Every day, there would be people cleaning and checking it. The warehouse was laid with cement and perfectly sealed. She emphasized again and again that cockroaches and rats were not allowed to appear. If they were discovered, it would mean that their work was not up to standard and they should be fined. If their work was deemed not up to standard a few times, they would be fired without any negotiation.

Because of her attitude, everyone paid the utmost attention to hygiene. The employees sprayed repellent around the factory at fixed intervals to prevent mosquitoes, and the warehouses were also disinfected regularly.

There was no way a rat could enter the warehouse or management buildings unless someone deliberately brought it in.

Previously, she had only felt that something was amiss and had asked her staff to investigate in advance just in case. She hadn’t expected that there would really be a problem. Furthermore, it was obvious that, appallingly, an employee of the company had deliberately brought the rats in.

If she had not sensed that something was amiss and sent someone to investigate in advance, there would have been a big problem if the supervisor had discovered this.

Mu Jingzhe investigated with a dark expression and spoke to her staff members one after another. In the end, she quickly found the traitor. It was none other than the vice team leader, whom she had thought was behaving strangely earlier.
