"I don't know." Xia Tian replied without thinking: "Anyway, I don't think that guy is a good person. He might be after you, Miss Beauty!"

Ye Mengying seemed helpless and then asked: "It's not like that. Do you want to know why I haven't been sleeping well these days"

"Yes." Xia Tian immediately replied: "Miss Beauty, tell me who is making it hard for you to sleep and I will beat him up right away. Whoever lets my wife not have a good night's rest will suffer the consequences!"

Sleep forever That means death!

Ye Mengying immediately understood what Xia Tian meant, her gentle tone now filled with even more helplessness: "Husband, this issue can't be solved by violence alone. Listen to me first."

"Okay, take your time, beautiful sister." Summer became a bit interested. Is there really something in this world that cannot be solved by violence

The food was quickly served, and Summer chatted with Ye Mengying while they ate. Gradually, Summer finally understood what was keeping his pretty wife from sleeping well.

What was causing Ye Mengying to lose sleep wasn't related to her Tiannan Group at all, but rather to the God Doctor Group which she co-owned with Summer. In fact, over these past few months, Ye Mengying had gradually shifted her focus towards the God Doctor Group. After all, in terms of turnover and profit, the God Doctor Group was already beginning to surpass Tiannan Group. Ye Mengying was also confident that in the future, it would be the God Doctor Group that she needed to manage properly, while Tiannan Group, despite having a hundred billion assets, might not be worth much compared to the God Doctor Group in the future.

Of course, she firmly believed that in the future, there wouldn't be any distinction between Tiannan Group and the God Doctor Group. As soon as the timing was right, she would consolidate all of Summer's companies under the God Doctor Group umbrella, including even those originally unrelated to him like Tiannan Group. She felt this would make management easier.

Recently, Ye Mengying had been in frequent contact with Qiao Xiaoqiao. They had already come up with an initial idea: all of Summer's tangible assets would be managed by Ye Mengying since she was more experienced in that area. As for non-tangible investments such as stocks and futures, Qiao Xiaoqiao would handle those; she was undoubtedly a genius in this field.

Although Summer hadn't thought about these things before, Ye Mengying and Qiao Xiaoqiao considered them necessary to deal with. In the future, their large family would definitely need a lot of money. Of course, earning money wasn't just for themselves; they had already agreed with Liu Yunman to set aside part of their earnings to support her charitable plans.

About the future Shen Medicine Group, Ye Mengying and Qiao Xiaoqiao have already drawn up a basic blueprint, just waiting for an appropriate time to start implementing it formally. However, what Ye Mengying needs to do now is still to develop this Shen Medicine Group that has only been established for a few months, but currently, the Shen Medicine Group is encountering some trouble.

In fact, the early development of the Shen Medicine Group was quite smooth. The establishment of the company and the approval of various products marketed as health supplements were all quick, encountering almost no resistance at all. Ye Mengying heard that the reason for this smooth process wasn't because of the Ye family but rather because Zhao's family had given a nod in Beijing, so Shen Medicine Group’s products encountered no trouble regardless of what procedures they needed to go through; it could be said that everything went smoothly like green lights along the way. It was precisely because of this that their products could enter the market within a short time and sell out every day.

In these few months, Shen Medicine Group has continuously expanded its production capacity. However, since the company is still new, some production equipment hasn't been purchased yet; moreover, raw materials also need time to be collected. As a result, no matter how much they increase their production, it's still impossible to meet market demand. Thus, problems began to arise.

Up until now, Shen Medicine Group has only released less than ten products, but whether it was cosmetics, perfumes, or health supplements, they were all snatched up upon release. Over these few months, the Shen Medicine Group brand had become a genuine golden招牌, and currently, as soon as any product with the Shen Medicine Group name appears in the market, people would buy it right away. As a result, fake products started to appear.

About half a month ago, someone began reporting to Ye Mengying that various counterfeit Shen Medicine Group health supplements were appearing on the market. At that time, Ye Mengying wasn't too concerned and only asked company employees to keep an eye out and report it immediately to the industrial and commercial department once they found any.

However, a week ago, Ye Mengying noticed something was amiss; counterfeit products were popping up explosively on the market, especially in smaller cities where fake products were everywhere. The packaging of these counterfeits looked exactly like Shen Medicine Group's products, and in some places, fakes and genuine products were sold side by side, making it impossible for ordinary consumers to distinguish between them. In fact, Ye Mengying herself had to admit that she couldn't even tell the difference just from looking at the packaging.

Ye Mengying realized that something was amiss and immediately contacted the industrial and commercial departments and police in various regions to track down the fake production sites. The industrial and commercial departments and the police seemed to cooperate by taking action a few times and dismantling several counterfeit workshops, but the number of fake products on the market did not decrease at all; instead, it showed an increasing trend.

Ye Mengying began implementing countermeasures by adding anti-counterfeit labels to new products and launching advertisements everywhere, urging people not to buy products without these labels. Although this strategy had some effect and made people aware of the counterfeit products on the market, according to the marketing department's investigation, there were still a large number of fake products being sold with decent sales figures.

What was even more infuriating for Ye Mengying was that employees from the marketing department informed her that while the industrial and commercial departments and police appeared cooperative on the surface, they actually turned a blind eye to the counterfeit products. Despite her frustration, she had no recourse because these fake products were widespread nationwide, making it impossible for her to handle them all.

Three days ago, however, an even more worrisome incident occurred. A young girl bought several boxes of health supplements from the Divine Doctor Group for her parents, and after consuming them, they actually got poisoned!

In this day and age, health supplements are often misleading, but despite their ineffectiveness, people generally don't suffer any adverse effects by taking them. Now that the health supplements from the Divine Doctor Group were causing poisoning, it was obviously a serious matter.

Although Ye Mengying knew for certain that the girl had purchased counterfeit products, she still had to dispatch personnel to coordinate and resolve the issue. Fortunately, the girl didn't cause much trouble, so the incident remained small-scale. However, just as Ye Mengying felt relieved, she received a call from someone claiming to be Zhang Xin, a reporter from World Business News.

Zhang Xin claimed that he was investigating the various products offered by the Divine Doctor Group and hoped to interview Ye Mengying in person. After considering this for a moment, Ye Mengying agreed and then looked into what this so-called World Business Daily actually was. Upon investigation, she found out that although its name seemed impressive, it was actually just a small newspaper that operated under the umbrella of some large publishing house.

Ye Mengying also discovered that this newspaper didn’t have much influence, but Zhang Xin himself had gained quite a reputation within journalistic circles. However, his fame was mixed with both praise and criticism; while some praised him as an upright journalist who exposed several major companies’ scandals and helped many people seek justice, others said he merely relied on blackmail for profit.

Regarding black journalists like Zhang Xin, Ye Mengying wasn’t encountering such individuals for the first time. Many reporters would use their so-called ‘uncrowned king of journalism’ status to secretly make money.

"Honey, based on your conversation with Zhang Xin, I can guess that he’s trying to extort money from us," Ye Mengying concluded.

"I knew that foolish reporter wasn’t any good," Xia Tian said with a knowing expression.

“Actually, honey, it doesn’t really matter. I’m not too concerned about what journalists say because our product quality is solid; no matter how they investigate or slander us, as long as our products are of high quality, the issue won't be significant in the end." Ye Mengying pondered for a moment, "What worries me most is the problem of fake products. We must come up with a solution.”

Summer thought for a moment, then blinked her eyes: "Or should I call the boss of that Commerce Commission and tell him that if he doesn’t get rid of all the fake products, I will take care of him"

"It’ll be useless." Ye Mengying shook her head. "Even if the Director of the Administration for Industry and Commerce issues an order, those underlings would likely pay lip service while doing the opposite. I’ve never seen any type of fake goods getting completely sealed off."

"Then, how about we shut down the Godly Physician Group right now and tell everyone that we’re no longer selling this product That way, nobody will buy the counterfeit products." Summer came up with another ridiculous idea, which was essentially like killing eight hundred enemies but also destroying three thousand of their own.

Ye Mengying found herself speechless. Her husband's ideas were always so bizarre. Shutting down the Godly Physician Group would result in such great losses!

"Honey, is there any other way" Ye Mengying couldn’t help but ask.

"Actually, I could find all those people who are making counterfeits and eliminate them," Summer really did come up with a new method.ng it to be a perfect assassination moment, they realized that reality wasn’t as such at all. This was not some great chance for an assassination; instead, it seemed more like a trap set up by the oth...
