Chapter 1037 - 1103: Queen Tao Is Unhappy
The sunlight in Huadu today was exceptionally dazzling, forcing Tao Xia to put on large sunglasses to shield her pretty face before leaving.Her pretty face needed to be well maintained, or else when that damn Beast comes back from Yanjing, there's a good chance she'd lose his interest if her skin got darker.
For a woman, having the man she loves no longer attracted to her is nothing short of painful.
So, as usual, Tao Xia got in the car today and headed to the Linya Pharmaceutical sales point to purchase this week's VIP platinum membership's limited edition beauty products.
A few minutes later, Beauty Tao, the mayor, was unhappy.
The Linya Pharmaceutical sales point in front of her had a large white seal, and two law enforcement officers were about to leave with their tools.
"What are you doing?" Tao Xia asked as she approached them.
"The products here are harmful to consumer health and have been banned and sealed," one of the law enforcement officers replied expressionlessly.
"What?"
Beauty Tao frowned deeply.
She knew Beast Lin had shares in this company, and the products were top-notch. How could they be harmful to consumers?
"Are you sure there's a mistake? The products and their reputation here are excellent," Tao Xia couldn't help but ask.
One law enforcement officer sneered, "A good reputation is just from advertising, fooling naive consumers like you. These products are severely non-compliant, the ingredients exceed standards, and they're extremely harmful to the body. I suggest you leave early."
"How pathetic, using garbage products," the officer shook his head, showing a look of pity.
"Wait, what evidence do you have to claim these products are non-compliant?"
"The Drug Supervision General Administration found violations, could that be fake?"
"Let me tell you the truth, the CEO of this company is someone named Lin Hai, and we're pursuing him. Not a single good product here," the officer sneered.
"What did you say? Say that again!" Tao Xia's heart flared with anger.
Damn Beast Lin finally started a legitimate business, and his products have no issues. Even Old Mr. Tao in the army uses them, and army experts have analyzed the formula, claiming it was crafted by a master.
But now, suddenly there's a problem? And her beloved man might become a fugitive?
"Are you a staff member of this company?"
"I'm telling you, you'd better be careful not to get yourself into trouble." The officer gave a dismissive smile and regretfully shook his head, "It's a pity with such a good figure, you're in cahoots with this company. In my eyes, you're just like a whore."
"What? Say that again?" Tao Xia immediately burst into anger.
She, the first iron-fisted female mayor of Huadu, was compared to a whore?
Tao Xia's driver was also outraged.
Li grabbed the officer and, gritting his teeth, said, "Say that again, I dare you to try saying that again!"
The officer coldly snorted and taunted, "What? You want to hit me? Or go to jail? Try it."
"Enough!"
Tao Xia's voice was filled with displeasure and anxiety.
She just wanted to figure out what was happening with Beast Lin's company.
"Li, let him go. Call the Drug Supervision Director of Huadu, tell him to come meet me," Tao Xia said.
Li nodded and released the foul-mouthed officer.
"Oh, who do you think you are? You think our director will come to see you?" The officer thought Beauty Tao was just trying to scare him and sneered sarcastically.
Unfortunately, Beauty Tao, wearing thick sunglasses, made it hard for people to recognize her true face.
Li said nothing, swiftly and deftly took out his phone, dialed a number, and quietly said a few words.
"Tsk tsk, you're quite the actor, then I'll wait here with you to see if our so-called director will show up," the Drug Supervision Bureau officer mocked.
Tao Xia and driver Li remained silent.
Ten minutes passed.
The smug smile on the Drug Supervision Bureau officer's face grew deeper.
He thought if he waited a little longer, he could confidently expose this man and woman's pretentious act.
Fifteen minutes passed.
The sneer on the Drug Supervision Bureau officer's lips widened, he slowly opened his mouth, ready to strike a blow at Tao Xia.
"Oh my, why hasn't my director..."
Before he could finish, at the intersection directly facing the Drug Supervision Bureau officer, a black car rushed in, even ignoring a red light.
And the license plate on that black car was too familiar to the Drug Supervision Bureau officer.
He almost had it ingrained in his memory.
Because it was their director's car.
"Director...!!!!"
The Drug Supervision Bureau officer's mouth gaped wide, the previously mocking words stuck in his throat, his eyes as wide as a dead fish, staring at the black car.
The face once full of sarcasm was now filled with disbelief.
With a sharp screeching of brakes.
The black car stopped steadily in front of Tao Xia.
A chubby man struggled to move his bulky body out of the car, wiping huge beads of sweat from his forehead, and approached Tao Xia respectfully, seemingly with a guilty expression.
"...Th-this..."
The Drug Supervision Bureau officer looked like his eyes were about to pop out.
The usually arrogant director actually appeared, and why was he acting so respectfully?
"Why is Linya Pharmaceutical being shut down?" Tao Xia asked with no hint of pleasantry.
"We're investigating this, it's from higher-ups," the Drug Supervision Director's voice was extremely cautious.
"Investigating yet directly sealing the store? Where's the evidence?" Tao Xia snorted coldly.
"This...this... let me explain."
The director wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and spoke nervously.
The face of the Drug Supervision Bureau officer was as if he had swallowed a dead fly, turning green with fright.
Was this still the loud-mouthed director who intimidated subordinates daily?
Dammit, now he was the one acting nervously around someone else.
Who on earth was this woman?
Tao Xia also turned her gaze towards the shocked officer and coldly snorted, "Your well-trained subordinate just told me I was better suited as a whore, what do you think?"
"What?"
The director was so shocked he nearly jumped, then turned angrily to the officer.
The officer felt the director's volcanic anger, and he nearly pissed himself with the heavy sinking feeling in his heart.
His instincts screamed impending doom.
"Get over here!" The director barked angrily at the officer.
"Director..." The officer felt his legs go weak, almost unable to walk, with a bitter look on his face.
"What the hell did you do? I always told you to watch that foul mouth of yours!"
"Director... I...I..." the officer was on the verge of tears from fright.
"Suspended, write a hundred thousand words reflection, then await further punishment."
"And apologize immediately!"
The director snorted angrily, cursing this officer's ancestors in his heart.
Damn, of all the people to offend, you dared to mess with Beauty Tao, the iron-fisted female mayor!
And this mayor oversees the disciplinary committee's work, she could ruin him in minutes.
