Chapter 8 — Coffee Pairing Queen

I don't know if he really believes Tran Ban, or is just afraid of offending someone who has a "lawyer". But I know he won't drink Phuong Di's coffee anymore today. Before work, Luu Phuong from the human resources department called me again. "Tieu Khuong, I've heard about today's story." Her attitude was much tougher than last time. "You openly criticized the company's products of your colleague's boyfriend in the office, this matter has affected the normal working order." "Phuong Di and Tran Ban said they would resolve it by legal means." "I'm in a very difficult situation right now." "So you want me to shut up?" "I hope you take the big picture and make it happen." important.”“The big picture.” I repeated those two words. "The whole point is to let more than twenty people continue to drink waste beans with aflatoxin four times higher than the standard?" Liu Phuong waved his hand. "Your report has no legal effect. Furthermore, Phuong Di has already taken the seeds away, so it's okay not to drink in the company from now on?" "What do you mean, as long as you don't drink in the company, it's okay? Someone in Mr. Trieu's group already brought it home. Ms. Ly even made two glasses for her daughter." Liu Phuong didn't say anything. more. “One more thing.” I said. "The letter lawyer Phuong Di posted is fake." "What?" "I saw the photo. The name of the law office is 'Chinh Huc Law Office'. I looked up the list of law offices nationwide, this place does not exist." "The type of seal is also wrong. An official lawyer letter will not have the public seal of the law office, but must have the lawyer's signature and practice certificate number." Liu Phuong opened her mouth. "Don't... don't tell me these things anymore." "I "If you see a problem, then report it yourself. I can't control it." I stood up. "I've already reported it." "This morning, I sent a complaint with my real name to the Market Supervision Administration." "Attached with the inspection report, product photos, photos of fake quarantine certificates and business registration information of Tran Ban company." "Next week they will come to investigate." Luu Phuong's expression finally changed. "Miss... Miss really denounced?" "Do you know that Tran Ban company has a cooperative relationship with our customers..." "That's your company's business." I interrupted. "I'm reporting an illegal merchant selling poisoned food." "This matter has nothing to do with your customer relations." While going out, I heard Luu Phuong calling from behind. "Boss, there's something I have to report..." PART 14 The next day was Friday. At ten o'clock in the morning, I received a confirmation from the Market Management Department. "Your complaint has been received, case code XX-2024-0573. On-site inspection will be arranged within three to five business days."Three to five business days. Plus the weekend, the fastest will be next Wednesday. I took a screenshot of the confirmation and saved it. Then continue working. At eleven o'clock, a message suddenly appeared in the company group. It was sent by Phuong Di. "Colleagues, about the recent coffee incident, I would like to give a public explanation." "First, my boyfriend's company is an officially registered enterprise, all products have legal procedures." "Second, someone maliciously took samples for testing, falsified reports, intending to defame me and my boyfriend." "Third, for this person's defamatory behavior, we have entrusted a lawyer to collect evidence and prepare to sue the public." "On Wednesday, at two o'clock this afternoon, I will hold an official tasting demonstration in the meeting room." "Tran Bin will bring all import documents and inspection reports to explain to everyone." "Welcome all colleagues to participate. Especially welcome some people to come to confront directly." As soon as the message was sent, the group chat started ringing continuously. "Support Phuong Di! Clean people are automatically clean!" "Now

The cost of spreading rumors is too low." "I must go see who is lying in the afternoon." Only Ms. Ly sent a question: "Can I bring my medical examination report?" No one answered her. At noon, I don't go to the restaurant. I sat at the table and called Co Nhien. "This afternoon they will hold a tasting session in the company, Tran Ban will bring the documents." "Do you think he will really bring the documents?" "No. But he will definitely bring a set of fake documents that look very similar to the real thing." "That's right..." I suddenly thought of a problem. "Co Nhien, do you know someone who imports green coffee beans in the industry? If Tran Ban claims he imported the goods from a certain farm, is there any way to verify it on the spot?" "Let me ask." Co Nhien stopped for a few seconds. “Wait for me ten minutes.” Seven minutes later, he called back. “I contacted someone, Chu Kien Minh. He has been importing specialty coffee beans in Shanghai for fifteen years, and is familiar with all the official channels in the industry.” “I showed him Tran Bin company information. He said he had never heard of this company." "Furthermore... he said that if Tran Ban claims to source goods from Panama's Esmeralda farm, then it is 100% a boast." "Because their company is the general agent of Esmeralda in Asia."
