Gu Tingyan ignored his greeting and asked directly, "How much do you know about the dessert shop next door?"
His eyes were fixed on the boss.
The shop owner was slightly taken aback, then pretended to be calm and said, "Oh, the shop next door? I don't know much about it. We're just in the same industry."
He dared not meet Gu Tingyan's gaze.
Gu Tingyan sneered: "Stop pretending. I can see you're quite interested in them. You should be happy that their store had some trouble recently, right?"
His attitude was clearly sarcastic and skeptical.
The boss's face turned somewhat ugly, and he stammered, "What...what are you saying? I don't understand. How can I be happy? We're all in business, and it's not easy for anyone."
Gu Tingyan and Gu Tingyu exchanged a glance, becoming even more certain that there was something wrong with this store.
They didn't argue with the boss any further and turned to leave.
Next, they began investigating employee relations.
They called in the dessert shop employees and asked them about the situation one by one.
"Has anything unusual happened at the store recently? Has anyone had a conflict with Boss Gu?" Gu Tingyan asked seriously.
The employees all shook their heads, indicating that they had not found anything unusual.
But one employee hesitated for a moment and said, "Once, I saw a stranger come to find one of our employees. They talked for a long time in a corner, and it looked very mysterious."
I don't know what they were talking about, but the clerk's behavior afterwards was a bit strange; he seemed distracted.
Upon hearing this, Gu Tingyan and Gu Tingyu were moved.
They immediately had the employee find the shop assistant and prepare to question him further.
Meanwhile, Zhou Zeran saw that Gu Suiwan was in trouble. He pretended to care on the surface, but actually made some underhanded moves behind her back.
He was on the phone with a mysterious person.
"Gu Suiwan, let's see how you turn things around this time. Just wait for your dessert shop to go bankrupt," Zhou Zeran said viciously.
"Don't mess things up. We need to make sure she has absolutely no chance of turning things around," the mysterious person on the other end of the phone said.
"Don't worry, I've already made arrangements. I'll spread more negative news online to completely ruin her dessert shop's reputation," Zhou Zeran said smugly.
but.
During the investigation, some clues began to surface.
Following the clues, Gu Suiwan and Shen Jiaxu investigated further and discovered that the supplier of a certain batch of ingredients was problematic.
They carefully reviewed the purchase records and found that the price of this batch of ingredients was cheaper than usual, and the supplier's qualifications were also somewhat questionable.
“I’ve never heard of this supplier before. This isn’t the supplier we’ve always worked with,” Gu Suiwan said, frowning.
Shen Jiaxu pondered for a moment: "Could it be that someone deliberately changed the supplier? We need to investigate the background of this supplier."
They began to inquire about the supplier and discovered that the supplier had close ties with a competitor.
"There's definitely something wrong. This competitor must be trying to frame us this way," Gu Suiwan said angrily.
Then, they discovered that someone might have tampered with a certain step in the production process.
They carefully inspected the kitchen equipment and tools and found some strange scratches inside a mixer, and some unidentified substance left on it.
"Has this mixer been tampered with?" Shen Jiaxu asked.
Gu Suiwan picked up the stirrer and examined it carefully: "It's very likely that we should take this stirrer for testing to see what the unknown substance on it is."
