Shi Xinxin calmly organized and backed up the collected information.
She did not immediately hand over the evidence against the organization called Qing Jiao to the relevant authorities.
It was not yet time.
However, Qing Jiao was unfamiliar to her; at least, there had been no such entity in Yuncheng before.
Seeing Shi Xinxin's puzzled expression, Sheng Chenjin spoke faintly.
"Qing Jiao of Haicheng, a notorious underground organization. They just moved to Yuncheng and before they could establish themselves, they impatiently targeted you. Miss Shi, who have you offended?"
Sheng Chenjin asked curiously, as even his secretly formed organization, Long Chen, had never received such inexplicable treatment.
Shi Xinxin now understood that the other party had come directly for her with a clear objective.
She had never provoked the Qing Jiao gang, yet she had been precisely targeted. If she hadn't been prepared, they would have succeeded in attacking her.
But they surely hadn't expected that she could catch their trail even in such a remote and dilapidated place.
Shi Xinxin thought of her previous promise to the reporters that she would find the mastermind behind it all. Now, she would likely have to fabricate a lie about the lack of surveillance equipment.
It was not good to alert the enemy.
Just this once, when the goods were still dispatched as usual, the other party would surely not be able to sit still and would make further moves.
Qing Jiao would definitely not give up.
Currently, Shi Xinxin asked Yang Yue to return to the company and send a few more people over.
The items in the factory were to be temporarily moved out for packaging. After all, this batch of goods would mark an end for now once it was sold.
It was one o'clock in the morning, and the internet was still abuzz, especially with those who had grudgingly spent a large sum of money to buy jewelry, being manipulated by trolls.
The reporter interviews were also released by various media outlets, sparking discussions of all kinds.
Shi Xinxin: Pure gold items will be shipped as usual. The factory will be temporarily relocated for repairs. The security system has been enhanced, and full-day surveillance has been added for real-time monitoring. Please rest assured.
Regardless of whether people believed it or not, Shi Xinxin logged off.
Out of sight, out of mind; this mixed and chaotic circle was the most annoying.
Shi Xinxin inexplicably missed the carefree days at her sect, even though they were difficult.
There was no need to worry about enemies attacking.
No need to worry about being criticized behind her back, no need to worry about being drowned in spitting.
However, she always knew that she had grown up and had to bear these things independently. Not to mention that she now possessed more wealth and power, her responsibilities were also increasing.
Thinking of this, she raised her hand and rubbed her temples.
With the matters handled, she felt an inexplicable fatigue.
"Is the previous project ready? There will be a bidding conference in a week. If we win the bid, that project area has significant profits and good prospects."
"It will also attract a lot of investment, not just from Yuncheng."
Sheng Chenjin spoke. Collaborating with CL meant CL had to participate in the bidding.
Sheng Chenjin primarily wanted to offer the opportunity to Shi Xinxin.
Jewelry companies start slowly and are difficult to ascend. With traffic and capital, one grasps the secret to wealth.
"Yes, the design is done. I heard this bidding is very popular, and there will be cooperation with international enterprises?"
Shi Xinxin's interest was piqued. All her worries stemmed from not daring to invest boldly.
When Shi Yuan handed the company over to her, it was already taking shape. She didn't have to do much.
Shi Xinxin was very dedicated to design. Her collaboration with Sheng Shi yielded her fifty percent of the profit; she provided the designs, and Sheng Shi provided the startup capital.
"Perhaps there will be many people you know," Sheng Chenjin's meaning was clear.
The Shi family was rooted overseas. Although they had no industrial chain domestically, they were a notable large enterprise abroad. If they won this bid, it was hard not to encounter investment from familiar foreign enterprises, which would be a welcome addition for CL.
Shi Xinxin did not deny this.

"Those people may not know, but do we not understand? This was a major fire."
"Those gold bars should still be salvageable. Although I trust Miss Shi, we all saw the scene."
Several employees were sighing, looking at the sales data that had recently climbed with difficulty, only to see it about to drop again.
This sudden incident had caught them completely off guard.
"Perhaps Miss Shi has a backup plan?"
Shi Xinxin's previous factory renovation plan had not been announced to the public. Although she did not oppose others learning from it, it was not yet time.
For some matters, the more people who knew, the more it would hinder progress.
"Look quickly, Miss Shi posted on Weibo!"
The employees all opened their phones to check, but their expressions did not improve after reading it.
"Is Miss Shi going to bear it all alone? We're just anxious and can't solve the problem."
Several employees were worried, as if they were about to become disloyal to the company.
"There's a way! The jewelry in the factory was not burned. The ground was covered with express boxes!"
A staff member who had just finished a phone call rushed into the office.
"We are already starting to ship goods. The partners, upon hearing the news, stopped pressuring us. We've really let out a sigh of relief!"
Those partners had been briefed by Zhu Guo, who thought CL was about to collapse. They had all acted opportunistically.
Now that CL was still shipping as usual and their interests were not affected, they had ceased their threatening behavior.
Looking at the rapidly increasing order volume on the computer, they lost their mood for discussion.
The first batch of goods started shipping at six in the morning. Many customers who were nearby had already received their orders.
They all posted feedback online that they had received the goods and that they were genuine.
This slapped the faces of the trolls and internet disruptors.

Zhu Guo let out a cold laugh when his subordinate safely returned and reported the good news.
He had thought Elder Feng had given him a difficult task.
He hadn't expected it to be just a young girl who hadn't fully matured, requiring him to go to great lengths to move Qing Jiao from Haicheng to Yuncheng to deal with her.
This way, he had inflicted a heavy blow on the girl.
Let's see how she would fall into distress and beg for help, and once she understood the harshness of society, she would naturally seek out those she once relied on.
Elder Feng couldn't solve it, likely because his relationship was too close, and he couldn't bear to be ruthless.
Let him be the bad guy.
"Sect Leader!"
Zhu Guo's assistant entered from outside, kneeling on one knee before Zhu Guo, his hand pressed tightly to his chest.
"What is it? Could it be that those clueless people in Yuncheng have come knocking?"
Zhu Guo let out a cold laugh, raising his scarred hands and touching the slightly ferocious scars on his face.
After so many years of struggle, he couldn't deal with those ignorant fools?
The assistant felt the increasingly cold gaze from above and a chill ran down his neck.
He felt his life was in danger, yet this news...
He gritted his teeth and spoke it out.
"That Shi Xinxin, for some reason, is still shipping as usual."
"That fire caused her no impact whatsoever."
