Jamima did not back down at all. He went back and gathered dozens of healthy people from the tribe who regularly drank Jiannanxia wine. They marched in a grand procession toward the office of the African Union Government.

Along the way, everyone walked with firm steps, each with a burning desire to get justice for Zhang Yue.

Upon arriving at the government office, Jamie asked around and finally learned that Ross was in charge of handling the matter.

He led the tribe members directly to Ross's office, but was stopped by the security guard at the door.

Jamie patiently explained her purpose to the security guard.

They said they brought the voices of many people in the tribe and wanted to discuss the Jiannan Xia wine with the person in charge of Ross in person.

The security guard, however, remained indifferent, saying that the person in charge from Ross was very busy and did not have time to see them, and told them to leave immediately.

Jamie Ma refused to give up and raised her voice, saying, "We've come all this way just to get things cleared up."

"We've had no problem drinking the wine. This is a matter of vital importance, concerning everyone's livelihood and fairness. How can you refuse to see us?"

The security guards remained unmoved, blocking the entrance and warning them that if they didn't leave, they would take coercive measures.

Upon seeing this, the people in the tribe became excited and began to shout.

Jamie quickly calmed everyone down and asked them to calm down.

He tried to communicate with the security guard again, hoping for an exception, even if it was just for a few minutes.

But the security guards were adamant and refused to budge.

Just then, the office door suddenly opened, and a man in a suit walked out—it was Ross.

Jamie thought he had seen a glimmer of hope and quickly stepped forward, saying, "Director Ross, we are residents of a nearby tribe, and we would like to talk to you about Jiannan Xia wine."

Many people in our tribe drink this wine and are in good health; there is absolutely no safety risk.

Ross frowned, a hint of impatience in his eyes, and said coldly:

"Stop making trouble here. The government has already made a decision based on feedback and surveys from some consumers."

Please leave.

Jamie explained anxiously, "The discomfort experienced by those consumers isn't necessarily due to the alcohol. It could be something else they ate or something else."

Our wine has always been fine; you can't dismiss it so easily.

Ross waved his hand and said, "This is a government decision, so don't make a fuss about it anymore."

If you continue to cause trouble here, you will face the consequences.

After saying that, he turned to go back to his office.

Jamie quickly reached out and grabbed Ross's arm, saying urgently:

"Director Ross, please reconsider. Boss Zhang's business has been a great help to our tribe. He is a good man, and there is nothing wrong with his wine."

Ross abruptly shook off Jamie Ma's hand, his face turning extremely ugly, and shouted:

"Outrageous! How dare you pull on government officials!"

"Security, throw them out!"

The security guards immediately surrounded Jamima and the tribespeople, shoving them aside.

Jamie tried to persuade him again, but the security guards pushed her away forcefully.

When the people in the tribe saw that Jamima had been wronged, they became angry and a physical conflict broke out with the security guards.

Chaos erupted at the scene. Jamima protected the tribespeople while shouting, "Don't be impulsive! Don't be impulsive!"

Ultimately, Jamima and the tribe were driven out of the government office by security guards.

They stood outside the door, all looking dejected.

Jamie looked at everyone and said firmly, "Don't be discouraged, we can't just give up like this."

Mr. Zhang has helped us so much; we must find a way to help him through this difficult time.

Everyone nodded, their fighting spirit rekindled in their eyes.

Seeing Jemima leave unwillingly, Ross's expression instantly darkened.

He turned to his assistant and asked, "What's the situation with Zhang Yue right now?"

The assistant bowed slightly and said in a low voice, "Mr. Ross, Zhang Yue is still running around trying to prove that Jiannan Xia wine has no safety hazards."

He arranged for a team to communicate with all parties and even planned to invite a professional organization to test the wine, hoping to overturn our decision.

Ross sneered, his eyes filled with greed and calculation: "Hmph, does he think he can turn the tide like this?"

Ignore his petty tricks and continue to pressure the relevant departments to expedite the process of getting him out of Africa.

Our 'New Jiannanxia Wine' is already in mass production, and the market feedback has been quite good. We can't let this original Zhang Yue ruin our plans."

The assistant nodded: "I understand, Mr. Ross."

Zhang Yue had been operating in Africa for many years and had established a certain foundation and network of connections.

If he doesn't give up, it might cause us some trouble.

Ross curled his lip in disdain: "Connections? What use are connections in the face of absolute power?"

You contact the companies that have partnered with Zhang Yue and imply that if they continue to work with him, they will face government scrutiny and restrictions.

In addition, find some media outlets to spread some news that is unfavorable to Zhang Yue.

He said his alcohol not only posed safety risks but also involved tax evasion, causing him to completely lose credibility in Africa.

The assistant replied, "Yes, Mr. Ross, I'll take care of it right away."

However, what if Zhang Yue actually finds evidence proving his wine is safe?

A ruthless glint flashed in Ross's eyes: "Then let's create some 'evidence'."

Find a few of our people to pretend they've drunk his wine and are feeling seriously unwell, then send them to the hospital and have the media report on it extensively.

"At that point, even if he had ten mouths, he wouldn't be able to explain himself."

Meanwhile, Zhang Yue was still racking his brains over the Jiannan Xia wine issue.

While arranging for his team to communicate with the African Union government, he also actively sought out professional organizations to test the wine.

However, he found that some of the companies he had previously worked with began to treat him coldly, and some even terminated their cooperation altogether.

Meanwhile, some negative reports about him appeared in the media, saying that his wine had serious quality problems and that he was also suspected of illegal business operations.

Zhang Yue realized that things were not so simple, and that someone was definitely targeting him.

He called a meeting with his team and said, "Look, everyone, we are in an increasingly difficult situation. There must be a dark hand manipulating things behind the scenes."

We cannot sit idly by and wait for our fate; we must find the mastermind behind this as soon as possible, and at the same time, speed up the testing process and let the facts speak for themselves.

The marketing manager frowned and said, "Mr. Zhang, I think these unusual situations may be related to the African Union Government."

They suddenly ordered us to leave citing safety concerns, and now so many things are happening against us; it's very likely they're behind this.

Zhang Yue pondered for a moment and said, "That makes sense."

However, we lack evidence and cannot make blind accusations.

The most urgent task now is to get the test report to prove that there is no problem with our wine.

Additionally, have someone investigate the companies that terminated their cooperation and the media outlets that published negative reports, to see if we can find any clues.

Just as Zhang Yue was actively responding, Ross's "New Jiannanxia Wine" began large-scale promotion in the market.

They leveraged the government's influence to set up counters in major shopping malls and supermarkets, and held various promotional activities, attracting many consumers.

Zhang Yue's Jiannanxia wine was removed from shelves, and sales plummeted.

"What did you say? Our Jiannanxia wine has been taken off the shelves?"

Zhang Yue looked at Zhan Susu in disbelief.

Zhan Susu looked anxious and quickly said, "I just received the news."

Major shopping malls and supermarkets have received notices demanding the immediate removal of our wine from their shelves due to potential safety hazards.

Moreover, many distributors have called, saying they dare not order from us anymore, fearing they might get into trouble.

Zhang Yue clenched his fist, his knuckles turning white from the force.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down:

"It seems Ross and his team are trying to drive us to our doom."

However, the more this is the case, the less we need to panic.

How long until the test results are available?

Zhan Susu glanced at the documents in her hand and said:
"The professional agency said it would take another three days to get the final test report."

However, preliminary test results show that all indicators of our wine fully meet the standards and there are no safety hazards.

A glimmer of hope flashed in Zhang Yue's eyes: "Okay, once the report is released, we'll hold a press conference and make the facts public."

In addition, is there any progress in the investigation into the companies that terminated their partnerships and the negative media coverage?

At this moment, Xiao Li, the investigation specialist in the team, stepped forward:
"Mr. Zhang, I have contacted the heads of several companies that have terminated their cooperation through some channels."

Although they were unwilling to say it explicitly, they implied that they were under pressure from the government.

As for the media outlets that published negative reports, I found one called 'African Financial Watch,' which seems to have the involvement of Ross's assistant.

Zhang Yue nodded: "Very good, Xiao Li, continue your investigation and try to obtain solid evidence."

Zhan Susu, you are responsible for contacting some media outlets that have a good relationship with us and are credible.

We communicated with them in advance about the press conference so that they could report on it objectively and fairly.

Meanwhile, Ross was furious to learn that Zhang Yue had not been defeated by these tactics and was still actively responding.

He called his assistant into his office again and said fiercely, "Didn't I tell you to find a way to stop him? Why is he still causing trouble?"

The assistant lowered his head and said tremblingly, "Mr. Ross, Zhang Yue is indeed very stubborn."

But don't worry, I've already arranged for people to interfere with the professional testing, making them delay as much as possible.

And they are also contacting more people to fabricate evidence of illness after drinking his alcohol.

Ross sneered: "Hmph, that's for the best."

"If he causes any more trouble, you know what will happen."

Three days later, the test report from the professional agency finally came out.

All the data clearly show that Jiannan Xiajiu has no quality problems.

Zhang Yue immediately convened a press conference. At the conference, holding the test report, he spoke passionately:
"Dear media friends, Jiannanxia Wine has always strictly controlled its quality. This so-called safety hazard is a malicious smear campaign."

This is a test report from a professional organization. As you can clearly see, our wine fully meets the standards.

Offstage, Zhan Susu distributed copies of the test report to the media reporters at the opportune moment.

Reporters took photos and began asking questions. Zhang Yue answered them methodically.

The whole story was revealed, including the malicious suppression by Ross and others.

After the press conference, the news spread quickly, and public trust in Jiannanxia Wine gradually returned.

Ross was furious when he learned that Zhang Yue had successfully held the press conference. He hadn't expected Zhang Yue to be able to turn the tide despite all the difficulties.

"No, we can't let him get away with this."

"Go, make arrangements for those who fabricated evidence. Let them go to the hospital and cause trouble as soon as possible, make a big scene."

Ross roared at his assistant.

The assistant dared not disobey and immediately went to make the arrangements.

Midomi Restaurant.

Clark walked in with a few friends, all smiles: "Boss, bring out all your signature dishes."

Also, bring four bottles of Jiannanxia wine.

Upon hearing "Jiannan Xiajiu," the restaurant owner hesitated for a moment, but still smiled and replied:

"Alright, everyone, please wait a moment. The wine and dishes will be here shortly."

Before long, all the food and drinks were served.

Clark and his friends feasted on Jiannanxia wine, praising it highly:
"This Jiannanxia wine is authentic; it's so comforting to drink."

Just then, several people walked into the restaurant looking hurried.

They looked around and then went straight to Clark's table.

One of them shouted, "Why are you still drinking this Jiannanxia wine? There's something wrong with it; drinking it will lead to serious trouble!"

Clark frowned, put down his glass, and said with displeasure:

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

We've been drinking it for so long and haven't had any problems. Besides, they just released a test report proving the wine is safe.

The man sneered, "Test reports? They're all fake. Zhang Yue bribed the testing agency."

We have solid evidence; several people who drank this liquor are now lying in hospitals, their lives hanging in the balance.

Upon hearing this, Clark's friends all looked worried and put down their glasses.

Clark stood up, looked directly at the man, and said, "Don't talk nonsense here, we don't believe you."

If you have evidence, show it to us.

Seeing that Clark didn't believe him, the man took out several photos from his pocket and handed them to Clark:
"Look, this is the person who was hospitalized after drinking Jiannanxia wine. How could this be fake?"

Clark took the photo and looked at it carefully. The person in the photo was pale and lying in a hospital bed, and looked very weak.

But he still had some doubts, saying, "That doesn't necessarily mean they drank Jiannanxia wine. Maybe they were already sick."

Seeing that Clark still didn't believe him, the man began to incite the people around him:
"Everyone, please stop drinking this! This Jiannanxia wine is poison. The government has ordered it to be taken off the shelves. You still dare to drink it? Are you out of your minds?!"

Hearing this, the people around started talking amongst themselves, and some even put down their wine glasses and prepared to leave the restaurant.

Seeing this, the restaurant owner was so anxious that he stamped his feet and quickly stepped forward to persuade him:
"Don't listen to his nonsense, everyone. There's never been anything wrong with my wine. We've all been drinking it for so long and we're all fine."

Just then, Zhang Yue and Zhan Susu happened to pass by the Midomi Restaurant and heard the noise inside.

When Zhang Yue entered the restaurant and saw the scene before him, he immediately understood what was going on.

He stepped forward and said to the troublemakers, "Who are you? Why are you spreading rumors and causing trouble here?"

When those men saw Zhang Yue, a flicker of panic crossed their eyes, but they quickly regained their composure.

One of them said, "We're not spreading rumors, we're just telling the truth."

"Your Jiannanxia wine is problematic; drinking it will kill you."

Zhang Yue sneered: "What evidence do you have to prove that the problem lies with my wine?"

I have received a test report from a professional organization, proving that my wine has no quality problems.

Are you being instructed by someone to maliciously smear me like this?

Upon hearing this, the men's faces turned extremely ugly.

They glanced at each other, then turned and tried to run away.

Zhang Yue waved his hand, and several security guards in the restaurant immediately stepped forward to stop them.

"Don't even think about running away. You have to get this straight today," Zhang Yue said sternly.

Seeing that they couldn't escape, the men had no choice but to say, "We just heard it from others, and we don't know who ordered it."

Zhang Yue knew he wouldn't get any useful information from them, so he said:

“Since you dare to spread rumors here, you must take responsibility for your actions.”

I will hand you over to the police and let them investigate.

Upon hearing this, the men were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground.

Zhang Yue had them taken away, then said to the people in the restaurant:
"Don't worry, everyone, my Jiannan Xia wine is absolutely fine."

I will definitely pursue legal action against those who spread rumors and cause trouble.

Clark and his friends applauded and cheered.

Clark said, "Mr. Zhang, we trust you. We will continue to drink Jiannanxia wine."

Zhang Yue gave Clark a grateful look and said:

"Thank you for your trust. I will definitely investigate the matter thoroughly and clear Jiannan Xiajiu's name."

Clark was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed.

He clutched his stomach, lying stiffly on the ground.

His companion beside him quickly said, "Clark, what's wrong? Ugh..."

As they were talking, the man suddenly vomited.

Everyone else was having problems; some had headaches, some had stomach aches, and some were as pale as snow.

The restaurant was thrown into chaos, with screams and shouts erupting everywhere.

Zhang Yue frowned, quickly stepped forward to check on Clark and the others, and shouted:

"Everyone, don't panic, stay calm!" Zhan Susu quickly took out her phone and dialed the emergency number.

The troublemakers who had been stopped grinned with triumph upon seeing this.

One of them muttered under his breath, "Hmph, let's see how you explain this now."

Zhang Yue keenly noticed this detail. He stood up, his eyes sharply fixed on the group, and said coldly:

"Don't think you can succeed like this. It's obvious that someone is deliberately framing you."

Soon, the ambulance arrived with sirens blaring, and paramedics lifted Clark and the others into the vehicle.

Zhang Yue said to Zhan Susu, "Go to the hospital with me and see how things are going. Let me know as soon as you have any news."

Zhan Susu nodded and left with the ambulance.

Zhang Yue stayed at the hotel and began to investigate the matter carefully.

He asked the restaurant owner if Clark and his companions had eaten anything else unusual before.

After thinking carefully, the restaurant owner shook his head and said:
"They only ordered our signature dishes and Jiannanxia wine; they didn't eat anything else."

Zhang Yue then inspected the food and drinks on the table and found that the food and drinks looked fine.

Just then, a group of reporters suddenly rushed into the restaurant, holding microphones and cameras, and surrounded Zhang Yue.

A reporter asked loudly, "Mr. Zhang, so many people are experiencing adverse symptoms after drinking Jiannanxia wine. What is your explanation for this?"

Another reporter followed up with, "Does this mean that your wine does indeed pose a safety hazard, and that the previous test reports were falsified?"

Zhang Yue took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and said loudly:

"Please calm down, everyone. Someone is definitely behind this."

Our wine has passed the testing of professional institutions and there are absolutely no problems.

The current situation suggests that someone has deliberately poisoned us or used other means to frame us.

However, the reporters were not convinced and continued to press for more pointed questions.

While dealing with the reporters, Zhang Yue was also thinking of a solution.

He knew that if this matter was not resolved quickly, Jiannan Xiajiu would completely lose its market, and his years of hard work would be ruined.

Meanwhile, at the hospital, Zhan Susu anxiously awaited the doctor's diagnosis.

After a while, the doctor came out, and Zhan Susu quickly went up to him and asked:
"Doctor, how are they?"

The doctor frowned and said, "Based on the current situation, they appear to have food poisoning, but it's unclear what caused it."

We need to conduct further investigation.

Zhan Susu told Zhang Yue what the doctor had said, which made Zhang Yue even more certain that someone had deliberately framed him.

He decided to visit Clark and the others in the hospital in person, partly to express his concern and partly to try to get some clues from them.

When Zhang Yue arrived at the hospital, Clark and the others had already woken up, but were still very weak.

Zhang Yue walked to Clark's bedside and said sincerely, "Mr. Clark, I'm so sorry to have caused you such suffering."

I assure you, I will find out the truth and give you an explanation.

Clark nodded slightly and said weakly, "Mr. Zhang, we believe you, but this matter is indeed too strange."

Zhang Yue asked other people, but didn't get any useful information.

As Zhang Yue was pondering, the door to the ward was suddenly pushed open.

Zhan Susu rushed in, her expression grave: "I just received news that Ross is spreading rumors everywhere again."

They claimed the poisoning incident was caused by Jiannanxia liquor and even incited uninformed citizens to protest in front of the government building, demanding a complete ban on our liquor.

Zhang Yue clenched his fist, a flash of anger in his eyes: "That guy Ross, he'll stop at nothing to suppress us."

However, we cannot let him lead us by the nose.

"Susu, continue to follow up on the situation at the hospital and see if you can find a breakthrough through medical testing to prove that this has nothing to do with our alcohol."

Zhan Susu nodded: "Okay."

Meanwhile, in his office, Ross listened smugly as his assistant reported on Zhang Yue's predicament.

"Mr. Ross, Zhang Yue's Jiannanxia wine has now lost its reputation."

"Many distributors are demanding returns, and the market is in chaos," the assistant said obsequiously.

Ross sneered: "Hmph, that's far from enough."

Then you should contact some so-called 'experts' and get them to speak out in the media.

Emphasizing the harmful effects of Jiannan Xia wine completely cut off Zhang Yue's escape route.

The assistant nodded quickly: "I'll take care of it right away."

Under your brilliant command, we will surely defeat Zhang Yue. (End of Chapter)
