Speaking from the heart, after listening to Chen Lao's words, Xiao Ping only felt even more confused. When he first returned to China, he contacted Chen Lan and asked her about the growth of "Xianju" rice seeds across the country.

Because this is the first large-scale planting of "Xianhu" rice seeds nationwide, both the seed base and the Xianhu company attach great importance to this, and maintain close contact with grain farmers in order to keep abreast of the growth of rice.

Chen Lan told Xiao Ping that from the current situation, everything is perfect. The growth of "Xianhu" brand rice varieties is very good, and the ability to resist diseases and pests is much stronger than that of ordinary rice varieties. Under the current circumstances, there is a very high probability of a good harvest by summer.

However, judging from Old Chen's words, the Xianhu rice seed seems to have encountered a very big problem, and even his old man heard the rumors. This made Xiao Ping very puzzled, why did the situation take a turn for the worse in just a few days?

However, of course, Xiao Ping would not argue with Chen Lao about anything, but immediately said with a straight face: "Don't worry, I will start to deal with this matter immediately, and I will definitely deal with it as soon as possible." ”

"Well, it's good if you have such confidence, I'll wait for your good news!" Chen Lao replied lightly, and then hung up the phone.

At the level of Chen Lao, there are so many official duties that need to be handled every day. The fact that he was able to call in person to care about Xiao Ping's situation was unimaginable to others. Although he only said it for a few minutes, Xiao Ping was already very moved. If this matter spreads, it will definitely deter Xiaoxiao, and ensure that no one will dare to use any bad brains against Xiao Ping's fairy pot company.

However, Xiao Ping has always been a low-key person, so naturally he will not publicize this matter everywhere. As for Chen Lao, he wouldn't say it to others. Therefore, this matter is destined to be known to only a few people.

Seeing Xiao Ping's solemn expression after hanging up the phone, Li Wanqing couldn't help but ask with concern, "What's wrong?"

"Old Chen's phone. Xiao Pingdang would not hide this from his woman, and said with a frown: "Old Chen reminded me to pay attention to the situation of rice, listening to the meaning of his old man's words, our company's rice seems to be in trouble." ”

Li Wanqing also knew that Xiao Ping was Chen Lao's health care doctor, and she was not very surprised that his old man called. Relatively speaking, Li Wanqing was more concerned about what was wrong with the rice, and hurriedly urged Xiao Ping: "Then you can call Sister Chen Lan and ask, isn't she responsible for tracking the situation of the rice?"

"I'm going to fight. Xiao Ping was not very worried about the situation of rice, and immediately dialed Chen Lan's phone.

"Hey, Xiao Ping?" Chen Lan quickly answered the phone. Xiao Ping could hear that her voice was a little tired. Immediately knew that Chen Lao called him not without a purpose, but that something was indeed wrong.

Xiao Ping was not polite to Chen Lan, and immediately said to her: "I just received news that our rice is in some trouble. What the hell is going on?"

Chen Lan also knew that Lu Dao would definitely not be able to hide this matter from Xiao Ping. Soon said to him honestly: "I don't know how Lu Dao did it." A few days ago, rumors related to 'Xianju' rice suddenly appeared. Some people say that our Xianhu rice seeds are fake and shoddy products, don't look at the rice seems to grow very well now, but in fact, it will not bear ears after the worst. Grain farmers have had a hard time all season. At the end, there was only a few straws to fall. ”

Without waiting for Xiao Ping to speak, Chen Lan continued: "There is also a theory that experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences have confirmed that our Xianhu rice seeds are actually genetically modified, and they have not been approved by the state at all, and even planting is illegal." At present, the government is dedicating a countermeasure to shovel all the Xianhu rice before harvesting, so that the genetically modified rice does not flow to the people's tables. ”

Xiao Ping frowned and said to Chen Lan: "Isn't this all nonsense, can you find out how these rumors spread?"

"There are two people under Cui Dahai who are investigating. Chen Lan immediately replied: "According to the current situation, this news first came from several well-known forums on the Internet. However, the time when the news appeared on the forum was very close, as if someone had arranged it in advance and then released the news at the same time. ”

Xiao Ping groaned: "That is, someone deliberately did this to ruin our company's reputation?"

Chen Lan said uneasily: "The rumors on the Internet are not the key, the key is that several newspapers also reprinted the news on the Internet yesterday, so this matter is really big." ”

Although the Internet has become very popular now, there are so many rumors circulating on the Internet that few people take it seriously because of the news that only circulates on the Internet. But once the news gets into the newspapers, it's a completely different story. Most people still trust traditional media such as TV and newspapers, and if the rumors that are unfavorable to Xianhu rice seeds appear in the newspapers, I am afraid that many people will take it seriously.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ping finally knew that what kind of rumor would alarm Chen Lao. It was precisely because of these news that he was in the newspaper that he would call the old man to remind him personally.

At this time, Xiao Ping finally really understood the seriousness of the matter, took a deep breath and asked Chen Lan: "What are our current ways to deal with it?"

Chen Lan quickly replied on the other end of the phone: "We have sent people to contact the grain farmers who grow Xianhu rice seeds in various places, and explained to them one by one that the news circulating outside is all false, and there is absolutely no problem with our rice seeds; ”

Satisfied with Chen Lan's response, Xiao Ping nodded and said, "Very good, I'll rush to the seed base as soon as possible and deal with this crisis with you." ”

"Okay!" Chen Lan responded simply, and after hesitating for a moment, she said to Xiao Ping: "Xiao Ping, in fact, I didn't want to hide this from you, just because it was just an Internet rumor two days ago, and you were on vacation at the farm, I didn't want to disturb your rest, so I ......"

It stands to reason that if such a thing happened, Chen Lan, as the manager of the seed base, should report it to Xiao Ping as soon as possible. However, Chen Lan did not do this, and simply delayed for several days. At the moment, not only is the matter getting bigger and bigger, but Xiao Ping took the initiative to call Chen Lan to ask about it, which makes Chen Lan feel a little arbitrary. It was precisely because she didn't want her sweetheart to misunderstand herself so much that Chen Lan took the initiative to explain to Xiao Ping.

In fact, Xiao Ping really didn't think about it, he just smiled indifferently at Chen Lan's explanation, and then comforted the other party softly: "I know what you think, I just hope I can rest for a few days." I don't blame you at all, don't take this to heart, do you know the truth?"

Hearing Xiao Ping's words from the bottom of his heart, Chen Lan couldn't help but be very moved, and hurriedly nodded to show that he knew what he said. However, the pretty widow quickly remembered that the two were talking on the phone, and Xiao Ping couldn't see his movements, so he hurriedly said in a slightly choked voice: "Well, I know what I said!"

"I'll go over there now, wait for me. Xiao Ping said a word after that, and then hung up the phone.

Looking at Xiao Ping's solemn expression, Li Wanqing couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Is the problem serious?"

"This incident was obviously premeditated, and someone deliberately wanted to discredit the company by attacking our rice seeds. Xiao Ping said in a deep voice: "I estimate that the current situation is not the worst, and the other party must have a backhand next." ”

Xiao Ping's analysis made Li Wanqing very worried, and couldn't help but whisper to him: "Can I do anything for the company?"

"You just need to take good care of our charitable foundation and let it operate normally. Xiao Ping kissed Li Wanqing and said: "The most important thing at the moment is that we can't mess up our own positions, so that we can also give the masses who don't know the truth a confidence and let them have confidence in the company!"

Li Wanqing understood what Xiao Ping meant, and immediately nodded heavily: "Don't worry, I'll rush back to the Charity Foundation now!"

Xiao Ping said with a little apology: "I'm sorry, Wanqing." I wanted to spend a few more days with you, but ......"

Without waiting for Xiao Ping to finish speaking, Li Wanqing smiled at him and said, "Don't say such things, I'm already very happy to be with you for so many days." Now that the company is in big trouble, of course, it's important to handle business, and it's not like there will be no opportunities in the future, right?"

Li Wanqing is so understanding, and Xiao Ping is also deeply comforted. He kissed Li Wanqing on the cheek, and then smiled and said, "Okay, let me settle this matter first!

"Hmm!" Li Wanqing nodded heavily, with a happy smile on her pretty face. Perhaps in order to comfort Xiao Ping, Li Wanqing, who has always been introverted and shy, not only gave Xiao Ping a hug, but also took the initiative to kiss him on the lips. This gentle kiss made Xiao Ping full of fighting spirit and full of confidence in resolving this crisis.

Xiao Ping first drove Li Wanqing to the charity foundation in the city, and then rushed straight to the seed base in Wuxi City. Although he acted casually in front of Li Wanqing before, he actually knew in his heart that this rumor appeared suddenly and spread extremely quickly, and it was obviously carefully prepared in advance, and it must not be taken lightly.

On the way to the seed base, Xiao Ping began to contact the company's senior management and arrange various countermeasures. And company executives such as Zhong Weirong also attach great importance to this rumor and have already begun to implement various response plans.

At present, after Xiao Ping's overall arrangement, various response measures have been carried out in an orderly manner. The strength and connections accumulated by the Immortal Pot Company for several years immediately came into play, and began to wage a secret war with the originators of the rumors that most people would not be aware of.

Just as the company was fighting back against the rumors, Xiao Ping's car had already driven into the seed base in Wuxi City. Chen Lan was already waiting for Xiao Ping in front of the office building, and when she saw him, she frowned tightly and said, "Xiao Ping, the situation this time is not good!"
