Chapter 495 Public opinion fermentation
Three days later, staff from the Market Supervision Bureau called Chen Fang to urge her to pay a fine of 100,000 yuan.
"Sister-in-law, don't bother with them. These grandsons are not human beings. They were fined 10 yuan just for selling mutton." Zhang Sanwa cursed.
While they were talking, the phone rang again. Chen Fang looked at it, not knowing whether to answer it.
"Auntie, you'd better answer the phone and hear what they have to say." The person who spoke was a family member of another patient in the same ward. She was a female reporter who was currently interning.
With her keen professional intuition, she realized that this might be excellent news material.
Under the persuasion of the female reporter, Chen Fang answered the phone after the third ring.
Before Chen Fang could speak, a slightly impatient voice came from the other end of the phone: "Chen Fang, this is the Market Supervision Bureau. I solemnly convey the final notice to you again.
Please be sure to come to our Market Supervision Bureau to pay the fine before the end of get off work today, otherwise, according to relevant regulations, we will charge you late payment fees.
I hope you will not have any fluke mentality to try to evade the fine. If you do, we will take necessary measures to enforce it. "
Hearing this, Chen Fang's eyes turned red, and she explained in a trembling voice: "Leader, it's not that I don't want to cooperate with your work.
My husband is lying in the hospital bed waiting for money to save his life! I went to the market to sell the mutton to raise money for his medical expenses..."
Before Chen Fang could finish her words, she was interrupted by the person on the other end of the phone.
All I heard was a loud scolding from the other end of the phone: "Chen Fang, stop complaining to me here! Family difficulties cannot be a reason for you to resist the fine.
If everyone is like you, should we continue to carry out our work as market regulators?" said Wang Youhong, a staff member of the Market Supervision Bureau.
"Leader, it's not that I don't cooperate with you, but the fine you gave me is too much. I only sold mutton worth 180 yuan, and you fined me 10 yuan..."
Before Chen Fang could finish her words, she was interrupted by Wang Youhong.
"I'm fining you 10 yuan because this is your first time doing this. Otherwise, it wouldn't be 10 yuan but 50 yuan." Wang Youhong didn't want to hear Chen Fang continue.
"Okay, I have other work to do and don't want to listen to your nonsense! The fine must be paid before leaving get off work, otherwise we will enforce it!" After saying this, the other party hung up the phone without any hesitation.
Chen Fang held the phone in her hand with a worried look on her face. Although she had followed the advice of the enthusiastic people and handed over all her savings to her third brother and dealt with the valuables at home, she was still a little worried.
It is normal for her to have this kind of mentality. The Chinese people have been educated by their parents since childhood that the people should not fight against the officials.
At this moment, the female reporter next to her hurriedly stepped forward and comforted Chen Fang softly: "Auntie, don't worry, I have just recorded the entire conversation you just had.
I will immediately post this recording online so that more people can know about this matter."
Hearing the female reporter's words, Chen Fang raised her head and a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by doubt.
She asked hesitantly, "Girl, is this really possible? Will it bring us any trouble?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the other people in the ward who had been silent turned their eyes to the young female reporter, especially her mother who was lying on the hospital bed.
"What trouble can this cause?" Liu Xiaoxiao said calmly.
Then, seeing that they were still a little worried, he continued to explain: "I am reporting this news to our editor-in-chief. She has reported a lot of valuable news. You don't have to worry at all with her around."
After saying that, Liu Xiaoxiao took out her mobile phone without hesitation, called Xiao Meihong, the editor-in-chief of the implementation unit, and quickly gave her a brief report on what happened here.
After listening to Liu Xiaoxiao's story, Xiao Meihong on the other end of the phone couldn't help but praise loudly: "Xiaoxiao, well done!"
It's no wonder that Xiao Meihong was happy. This piece of news was indeed explosive and could greatly stimulate discussion among the masses. The most important thing was that the offender was only a unit in a county, so there was not that much pressure.
Then, she said, "Xiaoxiao, please send me the recording first, and then do a simple interview with the person involved. It would be best to go to the market and interview other vendors. Who knows, you may get something else."
Without waiting for Liu Xiaoxiao to speak, she added: "I'll ask Zheng Miao to come and help you. After this is done, I'll give you another half month's leave to take care of your mother."
Liu Xiaoxiao looked at her mother, and Chen Fang beside her hurriedly said, "Go and do your work, my daughter. We will help you look after your mother."
Liu Xiaoxiao finally agreed, and then she interviewed Chen Fang first, and then went to the vegetable market to interview with Zheng Miao who came to help.
The vendors in the market have been severely punished in the past few days and have many complaints.
When they heard that they were here for an interview, they all cooperated very well and exposed many problems at the Market Supervision Bureau. They also learned that Chen Fang was not the one who got fined the most. An old man selling celery was fined 11 yuan.
Both of them had just started working and were full of a sense of justice. Upon hearing this, they became dissatisfied with the Liuhe County Market Supervision Bureau.
The two of them did not rest and prepared the press release overnight and sent it to Xiao Meihong.
After reading it, Xiao Meihong immediately said that the news would be published in the newspaper the next day and praised the two people.
The next day, the news first appeared in the Jinghai Daily, and was also published on Liu Xiaoxiao and Zheng Miao’s personal accounts.
As expected, the news quickly caused an uproar.
"Fuck, is this true or false?"
“Could it be fake news?”
"This is really not made up by the reporter? Why don't I believe it?"
"It's the 21st century, why are the feudal officials still around?"
"Bullshit, this is even crueler than the officials in feudal society. Isn't this forcing people to die?"
Netizens said all kinds of things, but overall they overwhelmingly blamed the Liuhe County Market Supervision Bureau.
Qi Tongwei also learned about this while browsing the news. After listening to the recording and the interview, Qi Tongwei was so angry that he immediately found Lu Shuyue.
After reading the news, Lu Shuyue understood Qi Tongwei's intention of looking for her.
"Comrade Shu Yue! I think you should be aware of the impact of this news. If it is not handled properly, the image of our Handong government will be seriously damaged." Qi Tongwei said solemnly.
Lu Shuyue also nodded heavily, and then waited for Qi Tongwei's instructions.
"Although we cannot fully characterize this incident based on the reporter's one-sided statement and related interviews for the time being.
But if nothing unexpected happens, I'm afraid the main problem lies with our law enforcement officers!
How about this, you immediately select several smart, capable and experienced capable people and have them go to Liuhe County to carry out in-depth and detailed investigations.
The whole story must be thoroughly understood, and no omissions or ambiguities are allowed." Qi Tongwei gave the order firmly.
"Okay, Secretary Qi! Don't worry, I will start to arrange it right away." Lu Shuyue did not dare to be negligent in the slightest, and nodded in agreement, then quickly turned around and left to begin to arrange the specific matters.
Having just assigned the task to Lu Shuyue, Qi Tongwei immediately called Yang Wangang, Secretary of the Jinghai Municipal Party Committee.
After the call was connected, Qi Tongwei scolded Yang Wangang.
"I don't want to hear your explanation. I hope you can tell me the results of the investigation as soon as possible." The reason why Qi Tongwei arranged for Yang Wangang to investigate was to cover up for the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and make them think that the province did not send anyone.
At the same time, he also wanted to use this incident to judge the current official situation in Jinghai City.
"Secretary Qi, don't worry. I have already sent people to Liuhe County to investigate. I believe the results of the investigation will be out soon." The person Yang Wangang hated the most at this moment was not anyone else but the editor-in-chief of Jinghai Daily, who sent out such big news without review.
He has already decided to deal with this short-sighted editor-in-chief and the relevant reporters after this incident is over.
