Zhang Zhiyuan and Wang Pingzhi led a group of men in a surprise attack, catching a group of workers off guard.
There was no chance to warn anyone at this point, so they could only turn off the power, put their hands behind their heads, and squat down obediently.
Zhang Zhiyuan and Wang Pingzhi walked to the edge of the raw material pool and were immediately hit by a sour and foul smell.
Wang Pingzhi couldn't help but exclaim, "I never imagined that the soy sauce we eat every day comes from this source. These unscrupulous merchants are truly audacious!"
Zhang Zhiyuan sighed, "It's all driven by profit. If there's a small profit, they'll take risks. If there's a large profit, they'll abandon morality. If they make a fortune, they'll act lawlessly!"
"This is also due to our inadequate supervision. There are some bad apples in the team. They really will do anything to make money!"
Hearing Zhang Zhiyuan's lament, Wang Pingzhi nodded in agreement, "Indeed, this society is becoming more and more materialistic. Sometimes I even feel a sense of fear myself. People are harming each other, and I really don't know where the future lies!"
Zhang Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Don't be so discouraged. Every development requires growing pains. This is the darkness before dawn, and the slide before the peak. As long as we get through it, we will definitely achieve final victory!"
"I believe that day will come sooner or later!" Zhang Zhiyuan stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes full of anticipation.
Wang Pingzhi nodded. "I hope so. That's what the people want!"
"What's going on? Who are you people, and what are you doing in my factory?"
Just then, a luxury car pulled up outside; it was Li Qun, the boss of Tianhai.
After getting out of the car, Li Qun angrily went to the factory.
Wang Pingzhi's expression changed, and he snorted, "President Li, someone reported to our Deputy Mayor Zhang that your Tianhai company used expired fermented black beans for processing. We came to investigate immediately after receiving the report, and now the evidence is conclusive. What else do you have to say?"
Deputy Mayor Zhang?
Li Qun's expression changed; he hadn't expected that a city-level leader would be dispatched this time!
However, he quickly calmed down. After all, this project was personally recruited by the mayor, so what was a deputy mayor?
However, he still gave the other party some face and said with a smile, "So it's Deputy Mayor Zhang. You've misunderstood. These expired fermented black beans are not for production purposes, but for fertilizer. It's all a misunderstanding!"
"Making fertilizer?" Zhang Zhiyuan sneered. "Your Tianhai doesn't seem to have a fertilizer business, does it? Do you have a license? You're up to no good! Director Wang, take him back and investigate him thoroughly!"
Wang Pingzhi snorted, waved his hand, and the patrol officers immediately rushed up and tied him up.
"Let go of me! Let go of me! Are you all crazy? You even dare to arrest me? Let me tell you, it was your mayor who begged me to invest in Xidu. Aren't you afraid the mayor will hold you accountable for treating me like this!"
Zhang Zhiyuan said with a disdainful look, "Even a prince is subject to the same laws as a commoner, let alone a mere merchant like you. No one can save you today! Take him away!"
Despite Li Qun's screams, he was still taken away.
However, Wang Pingzhi's expression was not optimistic. He shook his head and said, "Vice Mayor Zhang, even if we arrest him, it's just a matter of the mayor's word for him to get him out..."
Zhang Zhiyuan sneered, "Don't worry, I've already notified the media. If this gets out of hand, even the mayor won't tolerate it!"
Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, newspapers and media outlets rushed to the scene and scrambled to report on them.
Besides the expired fermented black beans, many other violations were also discovered.
This was all expected. It wasn't just Tianhai; even some large domestic companies would have problems if investigated thoroughly.
Zhang Zhiyuan wanted to make a big fuss about this and use Tianhai to warn those unscrupulous businessmen in China!
The news was released immediately.
The whole of Xidu was in an uproar!
It was almost time to get off work. Mayor Liu Zhengxiang folded up the newspaper, finished the last sip of tea, and prepared to go home.
Chen Tao from the Health Department rushed in, shouting, "It's terrible, Mayor! Something terrible has happened in Tianhai!"
puff!
Liu Zhengxiang couldn't catch his breath and sprayed the tea directly onto Chen Tao's face.
"What are you yelling about? No matter how big the problem is, I'll handle it. What are you afraid of?" Liu Zhengxiang scolded irritably.
Chen Tao hurriedly said, "Oh my goodness, didn't you see the news? Just now, Vice Mayor Zhang took Wang Pingzhi to Tianhai Factory and raided the factory! They found more than a dozen violations. Tianhai is probably finished this time!"
"What?!" Liu Zhengxiang was shocked and couldn't believe it was true.
Chen Tao quickly showed him the video of the scene.
After reading it, Liu Zhengxiang was so angry that he almost died of anger!
"Are these two bastards deliberately trying to go against me?"
Enraged, Liu Zhengxiang immediately called Wang Pingzhi.
“Wang Pingzhi, who gave you the audacity to lead people to seal off Tianhai! Do you know that Tianhai is Xidu's most important project this year? You…”
"Mayor Liu, please don't get agitated. I came to shut down Tianhai because I received a report. Tianhai blatantly violates regulations and laws. Even if we didn't investigate, it would have been exposed sooner or later, and then we would have been in an even more passive position. Moreover, we didn't know until we investigated, and what we found was shocking. Tianhai is indeed a black-hearted company with many problems. Shutting down the factory and arresting people is not unjust at all!" Wang Pingzhi reported in a calm voice.
"Bullshit!!" Liu Zhengxiang cursed angrily. "Even if Tianhai really has problems, you should report to me first. Who gave you the authority to arrest people directly?!"
Before Wang Pingzhi could say anything more, Zhang Zhiyuan grabbed the phone and said, "Mayor Liu, don't blame Lao Wang for this. I'm the deputy mayor in charge of public security, and I have the authority to mobilize the police. I will take full responsibility for everything!"
"Zhang Zhiyuan!!" Liu Zhengxiang couldn't help but roar, "You take responsibility? You can't take any responsibility whatsoever! I think you've really rebelled, rebelled!! You have no sense of the big picture at all, I think your career is over!!"
After Liu Zhengxiang finished speaking, he angrily hung up the phone.
Zhang Zhiyuan was speechless for a moment.
Wang Pingzhi gave a wry smile. "Vice Mayor Zhang, you've really offended the mayor this time. Is it worth risking your future for Tianhai?"
Zhang Zhiyuan smiled slightly and remained silent.
By this time, the news had already been released to the media, and Douyin (TikTok) immediately became a trending topic.
The crowd below cheered.
"Well done, Vice Mayor Zhang!"
"Our good leader rid the people of a scourge!"
"We will never tolerate unscrupulous businessmen!"
"Our leaders' selflessness is a blessing for us ordinary people!"
A chorus of praise followed.
Zhang Zhiyuan slowly closed his eyes and sighed, "I won fame before and after my death, but alas, my hair has turned white!"
Everyone has their final act.
In this life, just live with a clear conscience!
bell!
Just then, Zhang Zhiyuan's phone rang.
It was his wife, Wang Juan, calling.
"Hey, honey..."
"Zhiyuan, come back quickly! Yingying, she... she's dying!"
"What??"
Zhang Zhiyuan's pupils suddenly contracted.
