"Third Uncle, I know about this."
Fu Wan responded, and seeing that Fu San was holding a newspaper, Fu San sighed.
"Fu Jian paged me early this morning, saying he couldn't reach you."
I told him you went out to sea and wouldn't be back until tonight. I specifically asked around about it today. This Zheng Tao who wrote the report is a new reporter for the Longcheng Evening News.
"So, he really is new here?"
Fu Wan was surprised; no wonder Su Ran didn't recognize him.
Fu San nodded, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.
He had actually quit smoking some time ago, but occasionally when he encountered a difficult situation, he would habitually light up a cigarette to calm himself down.
"I talked to some friends in the city this morning, and they all said there's something fishy going on in this matter."
"Ah Wan, Five Star Food Factory's performance is too good. It's the end of the year now, and it's inevitable that some competitors will cause trouble. I suggest we go directly to that family and ask them who sent them."
Fu San was furious when he talked about this. He had been in business for many years and had encountered similar cases of staged accidents before.
But he was a middleman who bought and sold fish, and he wasn't responsible for anything after the money was exchanged, so usually no one would make a fuss like this.
But Fu Wan's food factory is different; the impact of this commotion is particularly wide. He heard from Fu Jian that many people at the Friendship Store of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative are clamoring for refunds!
Fu Wan understood what Fu Ming meant. When he said to find that family, he meant to coerce or entice them, which was essentially a way to settle things privately.
But now that so many newspapers have been sold, settling the matter privately won't solve the food factory's problems. In fact, it might even be misunderstood as the food factory admitting to the product quality issues mentioned in the report.
"Third Uncle, let me think about this when I get back. Just appeasing that family won't be enough. I plan to invite reporters from other newspapers in Longhai City, as well as colleagues from the Industry and Commerce Bureau and the Food Safety Department, to come over in the next couple of days to check if there are any quality issues at the factory."
"However, I'll arrange the specifics tomorrow."
Seeing Fu Wan's confident demeanor, Fu San's worries immediately vanished.
"Okay, just let me know if you need my help!"
"good."
Fu Wan responded and then took the newspaper and walked home.
She kept thinking about the food factory the whole way.
This problem is actually more troublesome than the counterfeit canned goods the cannery encountered before, but Fu Wan has already almost figured out how to deal with it.
Back home, Su Ran and Wen Yue were sitting in the main house waiting for Fu Wan. Ye Xiao Cui was unaware of the situation; she had just taken Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu, who were so sleepy they could barely keep their eyes open, to bed.
"Ah Wan, there's something I can do to help with this, isn't there?"
Upon seeing Fu Wan return, Su Ran hurriedly asked.
Fu Wan smiled wryly, "Since you've already asked me, then I won't hold back."
"Don't be so polite," Su Ran glanced at her sideways, "Just tell me what you want me to do. Although I haven't found out anything about Zheng Tao yet, I just paged my colleagues. They're probably asleep, so we should have news by tomorrow morning at the latest."
"It's alright, I already have news. Zheng Tao is indeed a new reporter from Longhai Evening News." Fu Wan waved her hand and looked at Su Ran seriously: "These are not the main points. The main point is Su Ran. I would like to invite you to the factory for another exclusive interview."
"An exclusive interview?"
Su Ran was taken aback, then realized what was happening.
"Are you trying to use our report to suppress the Longhai Evening News's report?"
"It's not about suppressing the report, but since it's been exposed by the newspaper, we definitely need to let them see what our food factory is really like," Fu Wan explained.
"Not just you, I plan to invite all the well-known newspapers in Longhai City, and preferably radio and television stations as well. We'll film the production process in the workshop and release all of it to quell everyone's panic."
Su Ran nodded thoughtfully, "You're right. I'll send a page to my brother later and ask him to make some time for me in the next couple of days."
Wen Yue had already understood what had happened, and seeing this, she quickly raised her hand and said, "I remember I have a distant cousin who works at the radio station in your city. How about I call her tomorrow and ask her to come and take a look?"
"Okay, thank you."
Fu Wan sincerely thanked them. She felt a little embarrassed because Wen Yue and Su Ran had come for a vacation, but she didn't expect to need their help in the end.
"Oh, don't be so polite," Su Ran waved her hand. "Awan, to be honest with you, Longhai Evening News is a relatively popular newspaper in Longhai City, but to make such a big fuss in just one day, I think there must be someone behind it all."
Although these days, ordinary people mainly obtain information through newspapers and radio, and only a small number of households have televisions.
The fact that this news spread so quickly in less than a day is remarkable. If it weren't for someone deliberately spreading it, simply selling newspapers wouldn't have resulted in such a rapid spread.
“I guessed it too,” Fu Wan said in a deep voice. Just then, the clock on the altar rang out.
It's already 10 o'clock.
"It's too late today, let's all get some rest. We can talk about these things tomorrow."
Tomorrow, she'll definitely have a tough battle ahead of her.
After Fu Wan finished speaking, she took Su Ran and Wen Yue to her place to rest.
Wang Shuo, Fu Ming, and Boss Fu went to deal with the fish and wild boar on the boat and haven't returned yet.
This was destined to be a sleepless night; Fu Wan woke up just as dawn was breaking.
The food factory was her life's work, and it was even larger than the cannery. She had to get there early today, otherwise the workers wouldn't be able to settle down.
Upon arriving at the main house, Ye Xiaocui and Boss Fu were already up early, and even Fu Ming and Fu Liang were already there waiting.
"Ah Wan, let's go to the factory together."
Fu Ming and Fu Liang said in unison, and Fu Wan, without being coy, picked up her car keys and prepared to leave.
No sooner had they stepped outside than Su Ran, Wen Yue, and Wang Shuo arrived.
"You guys got up so early too?" Fu Wan was a little surprised. It was only a little before six o'clock, and she had already arranged for Fu San to take them to the station.
"How can we sleep if something happens?" Su Ran complained, glancing at Fu Wan. "Wan, let's go back to the city now. You set a time, and I'll take some people to the food factory."
"Alright, let's do it tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. I'll have someone invite staff from the Municipal Administration for Industry and Commerce and the Food Safety Department today. Give me the contact information for the other newspapers later, and I'll contact them to come over together."
"good."
Su Ran responded, and everyone got into the car together. Seeing this, Ye Xiaocui stopped nagging and took out the breakfast wrapped in brown paper and stuffed it into their hands.
"These are steamed buns and mantou that we heated up this morning. Don't go hungry while you're working."
Boss Fu nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, yes, we didn't have enough fun this time because of some unexpected event. Come and play again next time you have time!"
