Zhou Hao came back not long after he went out, and he looked much more relaxed.

Qian Qing originally wanted to ask, but Jiaojiao and Yangyang were so distracted that she actually forgot about it.

This also made Zhou Hao breathe a sigh of relief.

He didn't do anything. Ah Zhen and Wang Hua had no obvious problems. After checking the taxes, it was obvious that there would be no obvious problems at this time.

However, Zhou Hao still had some doubts in his mind, so he simply left his questions to the director in charge of the small department store and factory logistics.

***

After the New Year, Zhou Hao and Qian Qing started to be busy again.

In February, a piece of news in the provincial newspaper caused a lot of discussion.

It was nothing else but the vermicelli problem in Liujiacun and Huangjiacun. After being investigated by an old professor who was more serious about it, the matter was reported to the provincial newspaper.

The provincial newspaper is authoritative, needless to say. In addition, this incident is also very representative, whether it is the provincial newspaper or the radio station, they all reported this incident as a landmark event.

Qian Yu had already withdrawn from the vermicelli factory in Liujia Village last year. Liu Ertao's family was doing well, so even if she moved to another place to open a factory, she still needed someone to manage it. In addition, Liu Ertao's son was a junior high school graduate, and her daughter was admitted to a junior college. The family had no reason to stay in the countryside, so they continued to work with Qian Yu.

Because she evacuated in time, although the incident had a little impact on her, fortunately the reputation of the two villages was not affected, so she just escaped.

The person who exposed the inside story of vermicelli was an old professor from a university in the provincial capital. His family had been eating vermicelli bought from Y City for the past few years, but this year he found the taste not quite right. However, the old and young in the family said that he was picky about food because he was old and his mouth was dull.

The old professor was so angry that he simply took the vermicelli to the chemistry department for testing.

This test is not a big deal. It directly found that the vermicelli contained excessive alum and a certain concentration of industrial cassava flour. Can industrial cassava flour be eaten by humans? The harmful substances in it are not filtered thoroughly, and eating it for a long time can cause bad health.

The old professor was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. After he found out the inside story, he became even angrier and directly wrote a letter to the provincial newspaper.

The provincial newspaper also attached great importance to this news and sent reporters to secretly investigate Liujia Village and Huangjia Village. It is not known whether the people in the two villages were brave enough or they had the support of the village cadres, but the reporters witnessed the entire production process within a few days...

Not only are cassava starch and alum added, some workshops even deliberately do not dry the vermicelli, so the inside of a bundle of vermicelli is wet.

The reporter wrote indignantly in the report: "In order to make the vermicelli weigh more and shorten the drying time so that it can be put on the shelves as soon as possible, the vermicelli is only dried and frozen for one day. If consumers do not find the problem in time, the vermicelli will mold and if eaten, it will endanger human health. Such actions really ignore the health of the public and ruin their own integrity..."

One stone stirs up a thousand ripples, and in an instant, food safety has become the focus of everyone's attention.

Reform and opening up have been going on for several years. As people's lives have improved and their food has become more plentiful, some people have resorted to any means necessary to make money. Most people are still urban employees. When they hear about such things, they are not only wary, but also deeply disgusted with the vermicelli from Liujiacun and Huangjiacun.

A few days later, Qian Qing heard that the village cadres of Liujia Village and Huangjia Village were taken away for investigation.

But even so, the reputation of the two villages was not restored.

There is a peak period for purchasing goods after the Chinese New Year last year. Generally, many vendors will take advantage of the post-Chinese New Year period to buy a batch of vermicelli and keep them to sell slowly.

This year, in order to make more money, the two villages worked hard during the Spring Festival. Who knew that someone would expose the truth and a large amount of inventory was left at home.

A few days later, Qian Qing received a call from Qian Yu.

"You said Huang Laosi and his wife ran away?"

Qian Yu's voice on the phone was filled with helplessness: "Yes, they said that the people from Liujia Village carried hoes and sickles and went to Huangjia Village to seek justice. They insisted that Huang Laosi and his wife were evil-minded. They said that there was nothing wrong with the cassava flour and alum, but how come they were found out after testing?"

"The people of Huangjia Village also found fault with Huang Laosi and asked him and his wife to pay for it."

"As a result, the person ran away. The two sides couldn't find him, so they ripped open the Huang family's yard and the old house, and took away all the valuables."

Qian Qing was also enlightened: "Didn't the Huang family split up a long time ago? The yard and the house are connected, right? Will the Huang family be willing to do this?"

Qian Yu sneered, "How do you think I knew about this? It's because Huang Laoda's family got anxious and pushed Huang Sanping and Huang Laoer out, saying that I was the first to make vermicelli with Huang Laoer's family, and that I should be blamed for this matter. They also said that I opened a company now, so they asked those villagers to come to me to buy their inventory."

Qian Qing: “…”

Qian Yu: "There really are some stupid people who believed this and came to squat at the door of my company, trying to get me to pay for all the noodles I gave them. I just asked the security guard to kick them out."

Qian Qing was amazed: "What are these people thinking?"

When something goes wrong, they blame this person or that person, but never look into their own faults. Besides, those are all noodles with added ingredients, and they still expect to make money. To put it bluntly, they still don't recognize their own problems and think that eating won't kill people.

Qian Yu: "That is to say, Huang Laosi is not a good person, but he didn't force others to follow his teachings. These people followed his teachings and didn't say Huang Laosi was conscienceless when they were making money. But now that something has happened, they come to me to clear out their goods. How is that possible?"

But Qian Qing was a little worried: "What if the Huang family is unwilling to accept this and asks you for help?"

This is the trouble. If the Huang family still had the vermicelli business, they would not come here to cause trouble when life was easy. But now not only is the business gone, but the house has also been robbed and all the valuables have been taken away. Since Boss Huang was shameless enough to let others come after Qian Yu, he would naturally dare to let Huang Sanping come here to cause trouble. After all, there is Qian Qian in the middle.

Qian Yu then remembered the reason why he made this call, and quickly got back to the point: "That's what I wanted to say. I found a place suitable for contracting and opening a factory in the provincial capital's Urban-Rural Integration Department. I may be very busy recently. Qianqian is with our mother. I am not worried about anything else, but I am afraid that the Huang family will look for Qianqian. Our mother is busy with the hot sauce factory recently, so I may have to ask you to take care of the child."

Because she was away on a business trip for several months before the New Year, Qian Qing's work became much easier after the New Year. She is currently setting up a design department. Qian Qian is almost ten years old now. She usually wears a key around her neck. When she has children, she works in the canteen. When Qian's mother is not at home, she eats in the cafeteria, saying that she is taking care of her, which means that Qian Qing and Zhou Hao go to check on her from time to time.

Qian Qing agreed readily, then changed her mind and gave Qian Yu some advice.

"Sister, let me arrange an interview for you." You know, the Huang family is now the chicken that has been forced into a corner. If they run into a wall again when they look for Qianqian, there is a high probability that they will slander Qianyu.

Newspapers and television are both very popular these days, especially newspapers. There are many types of newspapers now, especially after the promotion of laser typesetting technology. The innovation of the printing industry has greatly reduced the cost of newspaper printing, and there are more tabloids.

Take the vermicelli incident for example. Not only did the provincial newspaper report it, but some tabloids also reprinted it. The scope of dissemination was very wide.

Qian Qing has been particularly sensitive to these matters ever since she got in touch with Lao Ding and started doing publicity.

The Huang family naturally had no connections, but they could not help but know that Qian Yu also had competitors in the business world. What if someone focused on Qian Yu's mistakes and published some nonsense in the newspaper? Wouldn't that be a trick?

After hearing what his sister said, Qian Yu couldn't say the words of refusal.

She was awarded an award by the city when her vermicelli factory was just established, as an individual business owner. Now her grocery company is doing very well, but she is a low-key person, and few people know about her deeds. If she is really splashed with dirty water by the Huang family, she will have nowhere to complain.

"...Is it possible? People won't say I'm showing off, right?"

Qian Qing encouraged her: "You are just showing off! Our shining point has been discovered. Wait, I will contact someone and give your mass base a try first."

After hanging up the phone, Qian Qing called Director Niu of Jingshi Film Studio. The hundreds of costumes she provided helped maintain the relationship between the two parties. In particular, the clothing styles Qian Qing provided were from all periods, and some of them looked so dazzling that even Director Niu wanted to keep them for himself.

Director Niu was so happy that she achieved such an effect without spending a penny. Even her leader praised her for her reliability and for finding such a generous and easy-to-talk partner.

The relationship between the two sides has always been very good. First, Director Niu introduced Qian Qing to the provincial TV station’s connections for advertising, and then Qian Qing introduced Director Niu to several of Lao Ding’s younger brothers to be actors.

Qian Qing exchanged a few pleasantries as soon as she got through the phone, and also asked about the performance of those young people.

Director Niu couldn't stop praising them: "They are all talented! They are so smart, not to mention me, even the director can't stop praising them!"

Qian Qing also felt honored, as these young people were introduced by her. If they didn't perform well, she would have to worry about arranging their arrangements.

"That's good. They are young, so please take care of them."

Director Niu didn't think it was a big deal. These young people had been in society for a few years and had seen all kinds of people. They could act like anything. Not only were they good at acting, but they were also very good at dealing with things. After this group was finished, the director mentioned them and said he would look for them next time he acted.

After the pleasantries, Qian Qing got down to business.

Of course, he stopped talking halfway and didn't say that he wanted to take the initiative to prevent the Huang family from causing trouble. Instead, he started talking to Director Niu about Qian Yu's matter, which made Director Niu very angry.

"Is this unreasonable? They're still clinging to each other even though they're divorced! I've never seen such a shameless family!"

"That's why I want to ask you if there is any way to tell my sister about her situation. At least I can't let anyone throw dirty water on her."

Qian Qing wanted her sister to appear on TV, but at the end of last year, the provincial TV station announced that it was undergoing a restructuring and would be responsible for its own profits and losses. This change resulted in major personnel changes, and even Lao Ding had no connection with her. The program she had previously appeared on was also stopped, so Qian Qing went directly to Director Niu.

Director Niu was also clear. Even if she lost the relationship with the TV station, she could still get involved with the provincial newspaper.

After a few phone calls, and as Qian Yu's deeds were eye-catching enough, the provincial newspaper happily published a personal report on Qian Yu.

Half a month after the report spread, Qian Yu received news that Huang Sanping was gone.
