Before Jiang Zhiguang could even speak, he was outmaneuvered, and his initial advantage instantly turned into a disadvantage.
Xiao Cheng dug up such a closely guarded secret, which was truly a slap in the face.
"That was a malicious report by a wholesaler without any evidence; it was dealt with long ago!"
Xiao Cheng sneered.
He glanced down at Jiang Zhiguang, his cold, mocking gaze sweeping over the group of people opposite him who were in cahoots.
Even without being named, those with guilty consciences were still veiled in sarcasm and became enraged.
They felt their official authority had been challenged.
"Regardless of whether it was a malicious report or not, if there are harmful food safety issues, our regulatory department has the right to investigate and punish them. We have already investigated whether there are any safety hazards in the fruit traded between Jiang Zhiguang and the wholesaler."
"The results of the investigation do not need to be communicated to unrelated parties. The report we have received concerns about safety hazards in the fruit of Xiaojia Village. Testing measures must be taken. If unrelated parties continue to obstruct the investigation, it will constitute malicious obstruction of official duties."
"Let go..." Wang Hao's string of rather unrefined arguments was cut short when Xiao Dazhuang covered his mouth and pulled him back.
Luo Shiliu also held his arm to prevent him from moving.
Once the conflict starts, it will escalate.
Bai Lu tugged at Xiao Cheng's hand and spoke first: "Comrade Li, you're overthinking it. We are law-abiding citizens and of course we won't interfere with official business."
"However, you may have arrived too early. We haven't started picking fruit yet. The samples you need for testing are still up on the mountain." ...Go pick them yourselves if you like.
Pick as many as you want.
You can choose whichever fruit you want to sample; it's up to you.
Even though Li Minglang and the others didn't hear Bai Lu's follow-up words, they could tell from her obviously fake smile that she was implying something was more barbed.
"Isn't what you're saying obvious! How can we inspect the fruit if it hasn't been picked? Go pick the fruit right now! Do you expect us to go up the mountain to pick it for you?!" Jiang Zhiguang had long been annoyed with Bai Lu.
He ruined his plans once or twice.
The fruits grown on the mountain in Xiaojia Village are of superior quality, plump and juicy, sweet and fragrant, and have an excellent taste.
It has the best reputation among similar fruits.
The food products available for processing at the Nanshi Fruit Processing Plant have the widest range of applications and the broadest sales scope.
Buying low and selling high has always been the secret, highly profitable business model for these top buyers.
Only the fruit from Xiaojia Village could force them to adopt the strategy of purchasing it in equal shares.
It doesn't matter who wants to buy more or less fruit from other purchasing locations.
There is little controversy.
But now, this lucrative path to wealth has been cut off by Bai Lu, who suddenly appeared. Not only does Jiang Zhiguang hate Bai Lu, but the other three major buyers present also hate her to the bone.
In previous years, it only cost two or three cents to buy the fruit from Xiaojia Village, but this year it cost even five cents.
They also suffered a major setback.
Even if they can't win back the fruit sales channels in Xiaojia Village this quarter, they won't let anyone else take them away.
Once all the fruit rots on the trees and no one dares to buy it, the poor, scrawny villagers of Xiaojia Village, who can't even afford to eat, will know who to beg to buy their fruit next quarter.
Xiao Cheng pulled Bai Lu behind him, blocking the resentful gazes, his face cold and stern.
His tone was as cold as an icy pool: "You have no hands or feet."
There was no doubt about what he said; Jiang Zhiguang and the others felt that Xiao Cheng was looking down on them for being unable to do anything.
They were all so angry that their faces turned ashen.
"Who's in charge of your Xiao Family Village? Find someone who can speak up and follow the rules." Li Minglang didn't want to argue with Xiao Cheng anymore.
The old woman looked at Xiao Cheng very seriously and said, "He is the person in charge. He can talk. Didn't he just say a lot? You can just ask him if you need anything."
Grandpa also said, "His name is Xiao Cheng, and he is a member of the Xiao family."
Xiao Guofu, as both the clan head and village chief, had no objections. There were some things he couldn't handle, and only a more suitable person could handle them to ensure the safety of Xiao Family Village.
Li Hongying naturally had no objection, and the villagers had even less objection; everyone agreed.
Everyone tacitly avoided mentioning White Dew.
Bai Lu is being targeted; she's in danger.
Even if she is brave and resourceful, pushing her out at this critical juncture will only make her situation more dangerous.
Seeing this, Wang Yang, who had come with Li Minglang, didn't dare to do anything to Xiao Cheng. He just wanted to get things over with quickly: "Then why don't you hurry up and pick the fruit? If you don't pick the fruit, how will the comrades know what kind of fruit you're going to export, and how will they check if it meets the standards!"
"How ridiculous." Bai Lu stepped out from behind Xiao Cheng and stood shoulder to shoulder with him to fight the enemy.
"The fruit hasn't even left Xiaojia Village yet, and you already know about the potential health risks. The fruit is still hanging on the trees, and you already know who to sell it to..."
“We haven’t even decided which fruits to sell yet, and you already have a plan and are conducting random inspections.”
"May I ask, after the inspection is completed, what fruits can we sell, and what fruits can't we sell? Will we also have to follow the standards you provide?"
Bai Lu's words were directed at Jiang Zhiguang, and the person she was referring to was quite obvious.
Rights are not something everyone has.
Jiang Zhiguang was afraid that Li Minglang and the others might waver, so he opened his mouth to refute them, but found that everything Bai Lu said was true.
There's no way to refute it.
The goods haven't even been sold yet, why are you inspecting them? It's not like someone picked them to eat themselves.
Jiang Zhiguang believed that no matter how many reasons he had to suppress the investigation, Bai Lu would definitely have more to say in rebuttal.
It's all his fault for being too impatient. When he learned that Xiao Cheng was likely the one manipulating the export of Xiao Family Village's fruit, he immediately brought his men over.
But they arrived too early, before the optimal time.
However, it is not the worst time.
"The trucks parked at the foot of the mountain were all called by you, weren't they? You didn't come here to pick fruit to sell, who would believe that? Do you even believe it yourself?"
Bai Lu retorted sarcastically, "Whether I believe it or not, what does it have to do with you inspecting the fruit before it's even been sold?"
What is the necessary connection?
Trying to veer off-topic and eventually circle back to the starting point won't work with Bailu.
Jiang Zhiguang glared at her angrily: "If you want to sell your fruit, you have to follow the rules and standards. You have to be inspected when necessary. It doesn't matter who sells the fruit."
"No one is exempt. Otherwise, if harmful fruits are released and cause irreparable serious consequences, who will bear the responsibility? Can you bear it?"
They even interrupted the law enforcement officers.
This clearly shows how anxious he was and how worried he was that things might change or that the law enforcement officers might change.
Bai Lu's resentful glare was once again blocked by Xiao Cheng. She spoke softly from his side, "Then wait until we hand over the fruit and take the money, and then you can legally and reasonably arrest us. It's too unfair for you to convict us of something without any evidence or on-site evidence."
Without caring how much Jiang Zhiguang hated him, he changed the subject and turned directly to Li Minglang.
What does Comrade Li think?
"We are all law-abiding citizens who know the law, understand the law, abide by the law, and use the law."
The following eight characters have a hidden meaning.
Li Minglang's face was grim.
Bai Lu bluntly stated, "We all have to act according to the rules, don't you agree, Comrade Li?"
