Chapter 99: Catering Company's Environment is Substandard (Part 2)
All the directors looked at Jiang Ningyue with question marks on their faces, and their meaning was obviously, is this how you usually interview people?
Just asking directly like that?
Will the other party say it?
Zhang Minghui wasn't the deputy director, so he didn't have that much mental fortitude. Li Chunyan had already put enough pressure on him, and once Jiang Ningyue used her 'skills', she'd blurt out everything.
"Governor Li, let me be honest! 12 yuan a copy isn't cheap, but it's also not profitable! We have projects in six schools in our city, and each school earns an average of 250,000 yuan per month, which adds up to a profit of 1.5 million yuan per month. However, after deducting costs, we only make 300,000 yuan per month."
Li Chunyan frowned. "300,000 a month isn't enough? That's 3.6 million a year."
"Of course I'm content with 300,000 yuan."
Zhang Minghui said, "But, not all of this 300,000 yuan is mine. The leaders of the Education Bureau get at least 100,000 yuan, right? The leaders of the Market Supervision Bureau get at least 100,000 yuan, right? The leaders of the school get at least 50,000 yuan, right? So, I only make 50,000 yuan a month."
"What are you talking about?"
The leaders of the Education Bureau and the Market Supervision Bureau were furious. They were talking nonsense in front of reporters and the municipal party secretary. Did they want to die?
"Shut up!"
Li Chunyan was so angry that she scolded the leaders of various departments who wanted to speak like a tigress.
Jiang Ningyue added fuel to the fire and continued to ask, "Boss Zhang, you can't just say whatever you say, right? Do you have any evidence?"
"Of course there is evidence."
Zhang Minghui seemed to be stimulated and quickly said, "I record every gift I give in a notebook, and this notebook is in my car. It clearly records how much money was given, when it was given, and to whom it was given."
"Okay, okay."
Li Chunyan turned to look at the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection Secretary, "Secretary Wang, please arrange for someone to go and get the certificate from Mr. Zhang. If the facts are confirmed, all of them will be suspended or dismissed, and the relevant legal responsibilities will be investigated."
At the same time, Li Chunyan faced the camera, pointed at the table with her right hand, and said word by word:
"Gulin City will never tolerate any criminals, and we will never stop fighting corruption! Starting today, Gulin City has established a special investigation team to strictly investigate the food safety issues at the catering company. Once verified, they will be punished and held accountable under the law! We will strike down the tigers and not let the flies go! Officials at all levels in Gulin City who have neglected their duties, traded power for money, or accepted bribes in this matter will be severely punished once verified!"
"I understand." Secretary Wang nodded after hearing this. His face looked a little serious. He knew that this time Gulin was really going to cause a bloody storm.
Unlike the excited Li Chunyan, Jiang Ningyue was a little worried, "Sister, will this news really be broadcast?"
Unlike Xisui City, where only a deputy director and several clerks were dealt with, Li Chunyan was eager to deal with all of them in Gulin City.
"Why not broadcast it?" Li Chunyan said coldly, "They have no shame, why should we give them face?!"
"All right."
Since Li Chunyan insisted, Jiang Ningyue didn't say anything.
“Plop—”
The deputy director, who had been covering his heart, turned pale and fell to the ground after hearing Li Chunyan's words.
The people around were startled and immediately came over.
"Director Wang! Director Wang!"
Unlike the noisy crowd, Li Chunyan watched all this happen indifferently and sneered, "What a good show."
Jiang Ningyue looked at Li Chunyan and said, "Sister, I'll go back first."
"Yes." Li Chunyan nodded. "I'll have someone tell you what the results are from the Discipline Inspection Commission."
"OK."
Jiang Ningyue and Liu Jiawen left. On the way, Liu Jiawen sighed, "This Governor Li is so cruel! She doesn't want to let any of the officials go."
Jiang Ningyue sensed something unusual. The downfall of corrupt officials, while a bad thing for the officials themselves and their associated interest groups, was a good thing for everyone else. After all, there were always many people who wanted to be officials.
If you don't do it, there are plenty of people who will.
Back at the TV station, Jiang Ningyue and Liu Jiawen were editing the video together. Nian Sisi rushed over after hearing the news. "My friend in Gulin City asked me what happened, and I was confused. But then they said you were the one who was in charge of this."
Jiang Ningyue recounted the story, and Nian Sisi exclaimed in amazement, "Serves them right! If it had been an ordinary leader, this matter could have been brushed off, but with Li Chunyan, it's what they deserved."
I definitely won’t be able to catch up with tonight’s news, as President Zhou has already finished reviewing it.
Therefore, the two were not particularly anxious, and the news was released the next evening.

Male host: [Recently, some citizens reported to our program that several catering companies in Xisui City were not meeting environmental and sanitation standards. Meals that were once safe for children are now unsafe.]
Female host: [Afterwards, our station dispatched several undercover reporters to conduct undercover investigations of catering companies in cities across the province. Please see the reporters' investigation below.]
The scene changed, and what came into view was a dirty scene on the ground. A large basin was filled with frozen minced meat, and the staff were using a rubber water pipe to rinse the minced meat.
[Dubbing] This is a scene from the kitchen of Xisui City Green Catering Company. The on-site environment is dirty and the staff did not wear the three-proof and three-white masks as required. At the same time, the undercover investigators also found that the color of the meat used by the company was abnormal.
Undercover investigator: "Brother, why is the meat this color?"
Staff: 'This is zombie meat.'
Undercover investigator: "What is zombie meat?"
Staff: "You don't understand. Foreigners only eat the good meat and throw away the rest. It's such a waste to throw it away, so they freeze it and sell it to us."
Undercover: "So what does this have to do with zombie meat?"
Staff: "Because this meat is hard to sell, who would buy it normally? Only us would buy it. So this meat is often frozen in the freezer for several years. Do you understand?"
[Dubbing] Besides the catering company in Xisui City, the catering company in Donghe City also faces the same problem. After undercover investigations into the catering company cafeteria, they discovered that every morning at 4:00 a.m., a small truck would deliver meat. This small truck was carrying meat products from informal channels.
…
[Dubbing] In Gulin City, undercover investigators also discovered that the environments of companies such as Hongyun Catering did not meet standards, staff members did not wear the three-proof and three-white protective gear as required, and raw materials were non-compliant.
To this end, Li Chunyan, Vice Governor of Haizhou Province and Secretary of the Gulin Municipal Party Committee, convened an emergency meeting.
Li Chunyan: "In Gulin City, we will never tolerate any criminals, and we will never stop fighting corruption! Starting today, Gulin City will set up a special investigation team to strictly investigate food safety issues at catering companies. Once confirmed, they will be punished..."
The camera turned and saw a deputy director lying on the ground, holding his heart.
"Director Wang, Director Wang..."
The scene was in chaos, with different expressions on different people's faces, which was very exciting.
[Dubbing] As of press time, the Gulin Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government informed this station that, following an investigation, the Gulin Municipal Market Supervision Bureau, Education Bureau, and other relevant departments have been found to have engaged in issues of profiteering and manipulation of bidding processes with some catering companies. Following discussion, the Municipal Party Committee has decided to remove Wang Hai, Deputy Director of the Market Supervision Bureau, and Wu Zhao, Deputy Director of the Education Bureau, from their positions. An investigation has been launched into food safety issues at Hongyun Catering, Huangcheng Catering, and other related companies.
