Chapter 6 — Coffee Pairing Queen

“First, specific product information… brand, place of production, manufacturer or company information of the supplier.” “Second, consumer complaints… that is, your colleague's medical examination records, proving that someone had a problem after using this product.” “Third, your inspection report is only used as a technical reference. They will send someone to take a sample again to re-test.” “The first information is on the packaging. As for the second… I did not take it. get the medical records of their colleagues." "Then they have to complain themselves." "They will not complain. They absolutely do not think there is a problem with the coffee." Co Nhien was silent for a moment. "Then we can only wait for the management agency to investigate themselves." "A week or two..." "Khuong Ninh." Co Nhien's voice changed. "Let me tell you something. This afternoon I investigated the person named Tran Ban you mentioned, Phuong Di's boyfriend." "Is it possible to investigate?" "Found some information. His company is called 'Tran Tuyen Trading', registered capital of five hundred thousand yuan, only established eight months ago." "The scope of business includes importing food, but..." "He doesn't have a food business license." I froze. "That means "It means he has absolutely no legal status to sell food. Regardless of whether his beans are imported or domestically produced, exporting them is a violation of the law." "Furthermore, I also checked the customs import data..." "In the past eight months, under the name Tran Tuyen Trading there have been no records of importing any coffee products." "Not a single line." I tightened my grip on the phone. "His beans are not imported goods." "One hundred percent not." "Things called 'Ethiopian Yirgacheffe', 'Panama Gesha'..." "It's all fake. It's just domestic waste products with replacement packaging." "Now I'm worried about more than just a few dozen people in your company." Co Nhien's voice was very heavy. "If he did this in large batches... the victims might not be only you." PART 11 At seven o'clock that evening, I sat at home and arranged all the evidence in the office. hand. Two inspection reports, one about the coffee beans, one analyzing the remaining flavor ingredients on the packaging bag. I took a photo of the "Certificate of passing quarantine testing requirements" that Phuong Di once took out... at that time. There is also a screenshot of the 404 error page after scanning the code. And the business registration information of "Python Tuyen Trading" that I found on the business lookup application. Established eight months, registered address in Foshan, Guangdong, legal representative: Tran Ban. No food business license, no food circulation license. Operating status: “Active”. But the strange thing is... in the list of shareholders of this company, there is another person's name. Phuong Di. Phuong Di is not just Tran Ban's girlfriend. She is also one of the company's shareholders. The shareholding ratio is twenty percent. I looked at this information, took a deep breath... No, I held the phone and thought for a long time. If Phuong Di is not simply "helping her boyfriend promote", but is a partner of the company. So all the things she did in the office... smeared me, took the right to match applications, gave out free seeds... What was the purpose? What benefit can be gained from giving it to dozens of people in an office for free? Unless… Her target is not our company. She is using our company as an advertising model. "Look, dozens of people in our company drink it every day, the quality is extremely good!" This is living advertising. Waiting for her reputation to spread, she can sell these “farm-level specialty coffee beans” to more companies. The price is lower than regular imported goods

For a large amount of time, administrative staff in charge of procurement who do not know the truth can easily fall for it. I picked up my phone and scrolled through Tieu Tran's WeChat profile. Indeed. The other day, Tieu Tran posted a post: "The new girl in the company is so great! Free farm-grade coffee, I can drink it every day to my heart's content, feeling full of happiness!" Attached are three photos: the delicate packaging bag, the brewed coffee cup and the side profile of Phuong Di smiling and handing out beans to everyone. More than thirty likes. In the comments section, someone asked: "Where did you buy it?" Phuong Di replied: "Text me privately." I looked at Mr. Trieu's personal page again. "The young girl's boyfriend is at a company that imports coffee, the quality is really very good. If anyone needs it, please send a private message to Phuong Di." A really good "try it for free, spread by reputation" trick. This is no longer a small conflict in the office. This is an organized sales chain. But the thing she used for everyone to try for free... was a waste product that could potentially cause cancer. I put down the phone, made a decision. Don't wait anymore. Tomorrow I will use my real name to complain to the market management agency. After that, I had one more thing to do. PART 12 The next morning. When I arrived at the company, Phuong Di was present. Didn't she ask for leave?
