Ren Chen grabbed the remote control and turned off the TV with a disdainful shake of his head.
In his opinion, the thods Yang ng had adopted were still too petty, like scratching an itch through one's boot, and unlikely to deal a fatal blow to the zoo. He could sowhat guess Yang ng's thinking—she wanted to create more public opinion montum to investigate the zoo.
But could she really find out anything? Not necessarily.
However, he also enjoyed seeing Suming's misfortune. After all, it was not costing him any money or effort, so he might as well treat it as a show. If Suming really got caught in the end, he would find an opportunity to go 'kindly' comfort Nangong Yan.
Of course, he hoped Suming would be investigated by the superiors because of this incident. At that ti, he would take the initiative to step forward, spending money and pulling strings to help Suming.
The more a woman is heartbroken, the more he must show he is the man worthy of her reliance. Opportunities to offer such attentive assistance are hard to co by.
"Let them investigate, let them! I've got my money for connections all ready!" Ren Chen thought excitedly. Why should I just wait here idly? Why not also get moving and push the governnt to set up an investigation team?
...
"Self-examination?! What self-examination, and how, who to examine?! Isn't this just making a fuss over nothing?!" Mrs. Tong, filled with righteous indignation, was the newly-appointed Party Secretary and Union Chairwoman of the zoo. She had received a notification from the higher-level Party organization, hoping that the zoo's Party committee would carry out a self-examination and co up with an explanation promptly.
Having the zoo's Party committee conduct a self-examination was equivalent to letting the zoo investigate itself, which was already quite a favor. Both overtly and covertly, it was taking care of the zoo. Yet, the employees of the zoo were still furious.
After many tight years, the zoo was finally starting to thrive and gain popularity. They hadn't provoked anyone and, with unanimous hard work, they were strengthening the zoo. Now, soone had jumped out to create trouble, purely a backstabber.
"Mr. Su, our Party committee has had a eting. Just do a random check and claim that the TV station's report is false. Now that the restructuring is done, the authorities above can't really do anything to us, right?" Mrs. Tong said to Suming.
Mrs. Tong, who was quite experienced in workplace tactics, ant that Suming, a young leader just beginning his role, should take a strong stance, even if it ant offending so leaders. Otherwise, people would think the zoo was an easy target for anyone to make a move on.
"No, no, no." Suming waved his hand and smiled, "Since there's going to be an investigation, let's do a thorough investigation, a serious and comprehensive one!"
"Huh?" Mrs. Tong was stunned, not understanding Suming's intention.
"Not just our own examination, Mrs. Tong. As representative of the zoo's Party committee, invite the upper-level authorities to send soone. This ti our Party committee of the zoo will assist in the investigation, the zoo will cooperate, and I'll make sure Taoyuan Entertainnt cooperates too."
The tone of Suming's speech was as if the matter did not concern him in the least, akin to eagerly watching a big scene unfold.
...
When it was ti to investigate, there were to be no delays or mud dragging. Responding to the invitation of the zoo's Party committee, the audit departnt, along with the district organization departnt and the district commission for discipline inspection, ford a small investigation team that took up residence in the zoo the following day.
The progress of the investigation team's work was surprisingly smooth; they had never seen a party under investigation so cooperative, leading several mbers of the investigation team to vaguely sense that nothing would co out of this investigation.
Once Taoyuan Company and the zoo voluntarily presented their accounts, the investigation team couldn't even be bothered to check them, only glancing at the accounts before inwardly cursing the TV station for dumping a hot potato on them.
"Mr. Su, as Deputy Director, what do you say we conclude the investigation here?" the investigation team leader suggested to Suming in his office, with a cheery and inquiring tone.
Suming chuckled as he sipped his tea, then looked up and asked, "Is it all checked out?"
"Yes, it's all checked out, and there's nothing wrong."
"No, no, no, leader, whether there's sothing wrong or not, you don't need to tell —I of course know there's nothing wrong." Suming smiled, "But since you've co all this way, you shouldn't have co for nothing."
The investigation team leader was taken aback. What did he an by "shouldn't have co for nothing"?
Suming coughed and said formally, "You should give the public the truth and clear my na."
...
Unlike the live show during the hormone incident, the Yangchuan City TV Station's Yangchuan Focus program always maintained a neutral stance before the truth was uncovered.
If there were questions, there would be answers. Since the undercover reporter raised doubts about the charity funds, this episode of Yangchuan Focus invited the zoo's Deputy Director, the General Manager of Taoyuan Entertainnt, Wang Hao, and the head of the investigation team to the studio to announce the investigation results and respond to external rumors.
Ren Chen, watching these three people sitting righteously in the studio on the TV screen, had a sinking feeling in his heart, knowing that nothing good would follow. If there were real issues uncovered, would Suming and Wang Hao still appear on TV with smiles on their faces?
As expected, the investigation team announced the investigation results in detail.
First, Taoyuan Company took over the contract for the recreational projects on the back mountain, and there was nothing wrong with them collecting money;
Second, the so-called superstitious activities were purely slanderous accusations. The zoo had installed 24-hour surveillance caras to prevent theft; the full video footage revealed no such problems.
Regarding people putting their palms together and making wishes, Suming chuckled, "I even make a wish when blowing out candles on my birthday cake."
The third point was unexpected by everyone.
