In the afternoon, he convened a meeting with all the employees of both stores.
"Starting tomorrow, we'll be having a free tasting event."
Su Jianguo made the final decision.
"We cut and cook vegetables on-site, allowing customers to watch and taste them firsthand."
Wang Li hesitated.
"Boss, won't this cost too much?"
"Now is not the time to haggle over costs."
Su Jianguo was resolute.
"Let's salvage our reputation first."
For the next two days, several large pots were set up in front of Su Ji Vegetable Shop, and the employees cooked vegetables on site, inviting passersby to taste them for free.
It did attract some people at first, but the effect was limited.
To make matters worse, the People's Livelihood Weekly published another article questioning this practice, suggesting that it was even more suspicious.
Su Jianguo's counterattack seems to have gotten bogged down.
On the fourth night.
Su Jianguo arrived at Sujiatun.
The warehouse at the Sujiatun vegetable base is already full of vegetables. Although they can be stored for a while, they will not last long.
Not only is the quality of vegetables declining, but damage is also inevitable.
Su Jianguo went to his office at the vegetable base.
For convenience, a telephone has been specially installed here.
Su Jianguo opened the ledger, which showed that there was very little working capital left.
If this continues, he won't be able to pay his workers' wages and bank loans within two weeks.
He picked up the phone and dialed Old Cat's number.
"How's the evidence collection going?"
Su Jianguo asked directly.
On the other end of the phone, Old Cat's voice was filled with excitement.
"It's almost ready, we can start anytime."
Su Jianguo nodded.
After hanging up the phone, Su Jianguo paced back and forth in his office.
While taking down Zhang Haiyang is the most urgent task, the reputation of the vegetable store is equally important.
Suddenly, his gaze fell on the calendar on the wall.
There is only one month left until all 100 greenhouses are ready for harvest.
If sales still don't improve by then, the consequences will be unimaginable.
A bold idea popped into his mind.
He picked up the phone and dialed a number.
"Hello, could you please help me find Su Mingchao? Yes, I'm his uncle."
I waited for about five minutes.
"Uncle!"
Su Mingchao on the other end of the phone was clearly pleasantly surprised.
"Things from last time went well, didn't they? I've received the notifications."
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Su Jianguo got straight to the point.
He went straight to the point and explained in detail the current predicament.
After listening, Su Mingchao remained silent for a moment.
"Uncle, don't worry, I have a solution. Your greenhouses were originally experimental facilities supported by our military. The output from your hundred greenhouses can directly supply our troops, which will perfectly meet their needs."
Su Jianguo was startled.
"You mean..."
"I'll apply to my superiors tomorrow to open a dedicated train line to transport vegetables directly from Beijing to the Northeast."
Su Mingchao's voice was full of confidence.
"Once your vegetables become a special supply for the military, all rumors will be dispelled."
After hanging up the phone, Su Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief, finally relaxing his tense nerves that had been taut for days.
Specially supplied to the military.
Just four simple words.
This is simply the best plan for a comeback.
Three days later.
Su Jianguo received a reply from Su Mingchao.
The application has been approved, and the first batch of military trains will arrive in Sujiatun in ten days.
"Very good!"
Su Jianguo was so excited he almost jumped up.
What do you need me to prepare?
"The leadership requires all vegetables to undergo military quality inspection. I've already arranged for someone to collect samples from your place tomorrow."
Su Mingchao gave his instructions.
"Furthermore, this matter should be kept confidential for now. It will be more effective to announce it after the special train arrives."
...
With the vegetable shop's problem resolved, Su Jianguo was relieved and could focus on dealing with Zhang Haiyang.
Su Jianguo spread out the thick stack of documents that Lao Mao had brought on his desk.
"That beast..."
Su Jianguo gritted his teeth as he flipped through the shocking evidence, one by one.
In the photos, Zhang Haiyang is seen with his arms around the waists of different women, some of whom appear to be minors.
Even when injured, Zhang Haiyang's nature remains unchanged.
These are photos that Old Cat has been tracking and capturing over the past few days.
Also, Lao Mao directly contacted someone and checked Zhang Haiyang's bank statements.
The above shows that Zhang Haiyang has multiple accounts under his name, with deposits far exceeding the normal income of a vice principal.
What is most appalling is a stack of testimonies from female students.
The above details how Zhang Haiyang abused his power to sexually harass and even rape them.
The old cat stood to one side, its eyes still bright and piercing beneath its white eyebrows.
"This is just the tip of the iceberg. The Beijing Hotel, ostensibly a hotel, was actually a brothel run by Zhang Haiyang and his elder brother, providing special services to certain officials."
Su Jianguo slammed his fist on the table and stood up abruptly.
"That's enough! This is enough to kill him a hundred times over!"
He quickly categorized and organized the materials, and made more than a dozen copies.
Before dawn the next day, Su Jianguo had the evidence delivered to the mailboxes of mainstream media outlets such as the Sijiu City Daily and the Northern Evening News, and personally delivered the evidence to the Education Bureau, the Public Security Bureau, and the Discipline Inspection Commission.
The last stop was the procuratorate.
After reviewing the materials, the prosecutor who received him became unusually serious.
"Comrade Su, thank you for providing this evidence. We will immediately set up a special task force to investigate."
