Fu Wan was puzzled. Fu Liang, who had been waiting at the dock for a long time, also saw the returning ship laden with cargo and hurriedly waved to Fu Wan and the others.
"Ah Wan, Ah Ming!"
Fu Ming didn't notice anything amiss at all; instead, he found it amusing and turned to look at Fu Wan.
"Awan, look at Xiaoliangzi! He's already found his way here after only one day!"
"What's with the excitement? I bet they need something from us!"
Fu Wan said seriously, and sure enough, seeing that the "Fully Loaded Return" was approaching the dock, Fu Liang did not wait for the ship to come to a complete stop and hurriedly jumped onto the ship.
When they arrived, Fu Wan noticed that Fu Liang's face was deathly pale. Although it was a bit windy at the dock, his forehead was covered in sweat.
"Brother Liang, has something happened?"
Fu Wan's expression instantly turned serious. Seeing that there were still a few unfamiliar faces on the boat, Fu Liang quickly pulled Fu Wan aside and lowered his voice.
"Ah Wan, something's happened at the factory... something's happened at the factory!"
Fu Liang's voice trembled slightly.
Upon hearing this, Fu Wan's heart jumped into her throat.
She felt something was off when she saw Fu Liang appear at the dock.
Unexpectedly, the problem was with the factory!
"Which factory? What exactly happened?"
Fu Liang wiped his sweat. "Food factory, this morning a reporter from Longhai Evening News published an article saying that the fish products produced by our food factory have made people sick. Two children from one family have been vomiting and having diarrhea and have been sent to the hospital!"
"I heard about this from Comrade Zhang Xiaoqing. This morning, when I returned from taking Xiangxiang to the hospital, she and Comrade Zhou Haoran had just gone to the hospital to check on the two children's condition."
They said they hadn't answered your calls or pagers, and they were planning to come to the village to look for you, but I figured you must be out at sea, so I told them not to come.
Fu Wan's family went out to sea in the morning, so even if they came to the village, they couldn't find them.
Unable to communicate at sea, Fu Liang, in his panic, forgot to use the ship's satellite phone.
Fu Wan's mind went blank upon hearing this, but she quickly calmed down.
It's normal for this kind of thing to happen in the food processing industry. She's the factory manager; if she makes a mess of things, the situation will only get worse.
"Did you bring the newspaper? What exactly happened? Also, did Sister Zhang and the others check which batch of goods it was?"
"I brought it!"
Upon hearing this, Fu Liang hurriedly pulled a newspaper from his pocket.
"Comrade Zhang and her team were already checking which batch of goods it was this morning. People from the Industry and Commerce Bureau and the food safety department also called this morning and came to the factory this afternoon..."
As Fu Liang spoke, a hint of worry appeared on his face.
"The problem is that it wasn't detected during the inspection, but now the news has spread. The city's supply and marketing cooperative, Friendship Store, and the railway department have all called to ask for a refund. The workers have also heard the news and can't continue working."
Comrades Zhou and Zhang asked me to inquire whether you have time to go to the food factory tomorrow morning.
"Yes, definitely. They should have gone back by now, right?"
Fu Wan glanced at her watch again; it was 9:15. The factory would have closed long before then.
Zhang Xiaoqing and Zhou Haoran both have places to live in the county, so they don't live in the factory. Therefore, they should not be in the factory at this time.
Otherwise, she could have gone there overnight to discuss countermeasures.
"Okay, I'll page Sister Zhang later. Don't panic, I'll go over first thing tomorrow morning."
Fu Wan made a quick decision, and Fu Liang nodded, "Okay, it's good that you're back. I was scared to death all day!"
Many citizens saw this news in the Longhai Evening News. In addition, Wuxing Food Factory and Cannery are quite well-known in the county. Once this happened, basically the whole of Longhai City knew about it.
Although we are not in the internet age now, it's only a matter of time before distributors in other cities find out about this. They need to resolve this problem quickly, otherwise the food factory's business will definitely be greatly affected as the year draws to a close.
It's possible that even canneries will be affected.
"It's alright, we can handle this."
Even if it's still uncertain whether their products caused the child's gastroenteritis and hospitalization, as long as they show their attitude, the food factory won't have to close down.
Regardless, we need to see the actual situation at the factory first.
"Ah Wan, has something really happened?"
Fu Minggang had just unloaded the fish from the boat when he noticed that Fu Wan and Fu Liang both looked very serious, and that's when he realized something was wrong.
He had thought that Fu Wan's earlier statement about an accident on the ship was just speculation, but he hadn't expected it to actually happen.
Su Ran walked over with a puzzled look on her face. "Awan, why did I hear you mention the Longhai Evening News?"
When Fu Wan saw Su Ran, her eyes lit up immediately.
Oh right, how could she forget? A newspaper reporter—she has one right here!
"Su Ran, you've come at the right time! I have a newspaper here, come over and take a look at it for me!"
Fu Wan hurriedly unfolded the newspaper in her hand. She had only glanced at it briefly and hadn't had time to look at it carefully.
Upon hearing this, Su Ran took the newspaper. In the dim light of the ship, everyone could clearly see a headline on the unfolded newspaper: "Well-known food factory is actually a black-hearted manufacturer? Bestselling fish products are actually made with rotten fish and shrimp!"
The picture below is clearly the entrance to the Five Star Food Factory.
Upon seeing this, Fu Ming immediately became furious.
"Damn it, which bastard wrote this report? What does it mean? They're the ones who use rotten fish and shrimp! They're heartless bastards! I'll kill them!"
"Don't rush, let me see who the reporter is."
Su Ran said slowly, then glanced at the newspaper.
"Zheng Tao?"
Fu Wan hurriedly asked, "So, do you know them?"
Su Ran pondered for a moment, then shook her head. "I know all the people at Longhai Evening News, but I've never heard of this Zheng Tao before."
She thought for a moment and said, "This person might be new. Ah Wan, don't worry, I'll go back to the newspaper office and ask around tomorrow morning."
"Okay, then I'll trouble you."
Fu Wan nodded, then carefully read the newspaper again.
It must be said that this report is very interesting. It tells the story of how the grandfather used his savings, which he had accumulated over a long period of time, to buy a pound of dried eel for the children.
I just wanted to let my child try some of the trendy snacks in Longhai City, but I never expected that it would cause my child to vomit and have diarrhea and end up in the hospital.
Interestingly, the article also emphasized that dried eel is more expensive than pork, suggesting that the raw materials for such an expensive product might not even be real eel. This statement is an insinuation that food factories are making money unethically.
Fu Wan couldn't help but laugh. Zheng Tao, right? She'd remembered him.
Hearing about the accident at the food factory, Fu Wan, Fu Ming, and the others' good mood, which had just returned from their vacation, was ruined.
Fu Wan had just disembarked with the newspaper when Fu San arrived anxiously on his tricycle.
"Ah Wan, Ah Wan, what's happening at the food factory..."
