S City, Food Factory.
As soon as Sun Aiguo arrived at the food factory, he realized sothing had happened.
He was startled, but the next second, he felt confident.
President Jiang was right! Soone ca to cause trouble.
He stared at the few people wailing at the gate with a look as if they were already dead, muttering: Our President Jiang has never lost!
Sun Aiguo hid in the crowd, first observing, ready to enter the factory and inform Director Lu at any mont.
At this mont, a broken wooden coffin lay across the entrance to the food factory.
Three people wearing white mourning bands were kneeling at the gate, crying.
An elderly person, a child, and a pregnant woman with a large belly.
This was a high-end setup for extortion!
"Heaven, open your eyes—my son wasn’t even thirty, tall and strong, very healthy, and now he’s gone!"
"The provincial hospital said that my son died because he regularly ate sothing with carcinogens!"
"This damned food factory, my son died because he ate the seasoning produced by you!"
"Give back my son!"
The old woman cried logically and laid out all her points, and the pregnant woman beside her picked up the tale.
"Pity us, we are a family of widows and orphans, how are we supposed to live?"
"Boo hoo hoo—"
The crying pregnant woman pinched her young son in her arms, who cried out in pain.
In an instant, too many people gathered in front of the factory gate, starting to point fingers and whisper.
"What do they an, that the seasoning causes cancer?"
"What is cancer?"
"It’s that incurable disease, like tuberculosis used to be."
"Huh? That can’t be, my family uses their seasoning."
Gossiping onlookers don’t need to think deeply, they only need to hear and know, and that’s how rumors start.
Director Lu had arrived long ago, but he didn’t show up.
He was inside, watching the performance outside, and rembered what Shen Que’s people had reminded him of.
Damn it, soone is behind this!
Director Lu gritted his teeth audibly, if anyone dared to harm Jiang Cheng, he would go down with the whole factory to take them out.
"Director, what should we do now?"
The secretary beside him asked, but Director Lu didn’t answer imdiately.
He was worried.
He could handle the current situation, but if he did, would it harm Jiang Cheng behind the scenes?
For a mont, Director Lu was at a loss.
At this ti, Sun Aiguo sneaked in.
He had a pass for the food factory, so it was easy for him to get in.
As soon as he entered, Sun Aiguo saw Director Lu hiding in the back, watching the outside with a worried frown.
"Director Lu!"
Sun Aiguo approached, and it took Director Lu a mont to recognize him.
"President Jiang?"
Director Lu eagerly asked, hoping for good news.
Sun Aiguo pulled Director Lu aside and whispered, "President Jiang is fine, he went to Province G, heading straight to the dragon’s den."
Upon hearing this, Director Lu’s face lit up with joy, which he quickly concealed.
Sun Aiguo handed over the first letter to Director Lu and conveyed Jiang Cheng’s instructions.
"Good! Good! Good!"
Director Lu repeated "good" three tis, expressing his feelings openly.
He had been the first director to follow Jiang Cheng in S City, and he never regretted it.
Not for anything else, just for this feeling of being unrestrained and invigorated!
Director Lu didn’t waste any more ti, he quickly read Jiang Cheng’s letter and stepped out.
Outside the food factory, Director Lu faced all the crowd with no fear and shouted, "We’ve called the police."
"All our production materials and processes comply with food regulations during production."
"From my grandson to my eighty-year-old mother, all of us eat our self-produced seasonings, and if you don’t believe it, you’re welco to check anyti."
"We, at the food factory, have nothing to fear, and we choose to call the police and face it head-on, also inviting journalists from the provincial capital to follow and report on our production workshops. From raw materials to finished products, we have nothing to hide!"
"As for these people in front of us, I don’t know who sent you, but it doesn’t matter, we’re not afraid of investigation!"
"You will only find that the more you investigate, the cleaner our food factory becos!"
Director Lu’s last line was delivered beautifully, once again shaking any doubts in the minds of those present.
If they are this straightforward, they probably have nothing to hide.
The pregnant woman at the gate tried to step forward with her belly, but Director Lu quickly stepped back, raising his hands and shouted, "Don’t move, the child’s safety is paramount, don’t bla !"
"And all of you, don’t move... or I’ll lie down here!"
At this point, Director Lu lay down on the ground, with his hands pinned under his body.
That posture... seed to say, here I am like this, how are you going to extort ?
The pregnant woman who had just gotten up was completely disrupted by Director Lu’s move, she certainly couldn’t pounce on him and lie on top of him.
Director Lu’s actions amused those watching at the factory gate.
While laughing, they also started to doubt the pregnant woman.
Anyone who has had a child knows that a pregnant woman instinctively protects her belly, she wouldn’t recklessly charge forward like that.
Sothing’s fishy.
Director Lu’s bold move disrupted the family’s plan, and the police quickly arrived.
Causin’ trouble in Jiang Cheng’s factory in S City is like courting death.
The troublemakers quickly left, taking the coffin with them.
Director Lu finally got up from the ground, gave a few instructions, then went to the police station.
At the police station, the old woman and the pregnant woman were steadfast that the factory’s seasoning caused cancer, leading to the early death of their strong young son.
The police saw through such clumsy tactics too clearly, but there are currently no specific regulations for judging rumors.
After cooperating with the investigations, Director Lu was the first to leave the station, first finding Sun Aiguo.
After a chat, Sun Aiguo drove off to deliver the second letter.
At the S City health departnt, Sun Aiguo found Gui Ying.
Gui Ying was the niece of the original Director Lian of the food factory. She was accused of indiscretion due to a gynecological issue at a wedding and ca to the city with Director Lian.
Later, during Jiang Cheng’s promotion of the Heimlich maneuver using the Laine couple’s donation, Gui Ying was arranged to join in.
Gui Ying followed the dical outreach teams to rural areas, and the more places she visited, the more she realized the lack of dical knowledge led to too many tragedies.
With Jiang Cheng’s help, Gui Ying attended dical school and eventually stayed at the health departnt.
Over five years, she has consistently worked on health education in rural areas.
Sun Aiguo found Gui Ying, and upon reading the letter, she just said one word: "Rest assured."
Sun Aiguo left, and Gui Ying also took action.
Jiang Cheng only asked Gui Ying for one thing, to educate about cancer.
Only when the public understands that cancer cannot be caused just by eating seasoning can they thoroughly clean off the slander.
At the sa ti, in S City and elsewhere, rumors about the seasoning from S City’s food factory causing cancer were spreading.
And at this mont, Jiang Cheng arrived in Province G.
With her arrival, another rumor gradually rose: the seasoning in Province G can make people... sterile.
