Following the security guard, Jane walked to the front gate.
A crowd had gathered at the gate, and many reporters were holding cameras.
Seeing Jane coming out, a man pointed at her and shouted, "It's her, it's her! I've seen her on TV. Jane, the person in charge of the 'Ice and Fire' project."
The crowd moved toward Jane.
"What's going on?" Jane asked with a slight frown.
Reporters rushed to interview Jane. "Miss North, there are reports that the materials used in Pansy Group's 'Ice and Fire' series are substandard and contain radioactive elements. What are your thoughts on this?"
"Miss North, is it true that Pansy Group, to cut costs, used materials with radioactive elements, leading to poisoning in people who wore the 'Ice and Fire' jewelry?"
One question after another bombarded Jane. She took a deep breath.
"Ice and Fire" jewelry containing radioactive elements?
How could that be possible?
Pansy Group's raw materials undergo strict scrutiny; such a fatal error should not occur.
Unless... someone deliberately set them up.
But Jane wasn't entirely sure about the details at the moment. Everything had to wait until a thorough investigation was conducted to reach a conclusion.
She spoke calmly, "Please, everyone, quiet down. All products from Pansy Group undergo rigorous testing and are only sold after confirmation of their quality. It is impossible for them to contain any radioactive elements. I believe this is a misunderstanding."
"A misunderstanding?" A stylishly dressed middle-aged woman walked up to Jane, pointing. "My sister got poisoned after wearing the 'Ice and Fire' necklace. She's in the hospital right now, and the doctor said if she had come a few days later, she might not have survived! How can this be a misunderstanding?"
"This lady, your sister's poisoning may have various reasons, not necessarily related to our company's products." Jane coldly replied.
"Of course, it's related to you!" The middle-aged woman said angrily. "The doctor has examined my sister, and it's radiation poisoning. The source is your 'Ice and Fire' necklace! I have the test results here, proving that your necklace contains radioactive elements!"
The man next to the middle-aged woman held a stack of papers. "Everyone, take a look. These are copies of the test results. It clearly states that Pansy Group's necklace contains radioactive elements, causing poisoning. In severe cases, it can lead to death! We spent so much money on Pansy Group's jewelry, only to end up poisoned and in the hospital! Pansy Group is selling substandard products, making money without a conscience! "
"That's right, today we must get an explanation for this!" The middle-aged woman and the man echoed each other.
Jane glanced at the test results in the man's hand, unable to determine their authenticity immediately. The immediate priority was to investigate and find out what had happened.
She cleared her throat and spoke in a deep voice, "Pansy Group will definitely investigate this thoroughly. Before we reach a conclusion, we hope you can cooperate with us. Why don't you go back for now? I'll send someone to check whether the necklace you purchased has any real issues. If it's indeed a problem with Pansy Group, we will provide you with a satisfactory solution."
"Of course, it's a real issue!" The middle-aged woman pointed at Jane fiercely. "Don't think about delaying. If Pansy Group doesn't give us an explanation today, we won't leave!"
