Li Youcai found Long Xu’s words interesting.
"go on."
Long Xu gathered his thoughts and continued, "Although we avoided Zhong Yuanbing's plot this time, if the news of Chunfeng Bread eating bad guys gets out in the newspapers, it will be difficult for us to sell bread in the future. So, Xiao Ding's card has become very crucial now."
Dalinzi heard this and said, "Yes, we have Xiao Ding in our hands. He has personally admitted that it was Jiang Yongbiao from the Guangyuan Cannery who ordered him to poison. Let's hand him over to the police. When the police investigate, they will definitely find out that it was Zhong Yuanbing who was behind this. He poisoned so many people, the police must arrest him!"
"Not necessarily!" Long Xu said.
"What did you say?"
Long Xu shook his head and said, "I don't think so. Xiao Ding can only prove that it was Jiang Yongbiao who ordered him, and he still can't implicate Zhong Yuanbing. If they sacrifice the rook to save the king and let Jiang Yongbiao take all the responsibility, we will still be unable to touch Zhong Yuanbing."
"On the contrary, Zhong Yuanbing can use his uncle's influence to influence the newspapers and simply add a few more words to the bread poisoning incident, and our factory's reputation will be ruined."
"Damn it! He thinks his uncle is awesome just because he's the deputy county magistrate. Does he have the final say in Teng County?" Dalinzi said unconvinced.
Gao Dapeng's expression was also very attractive. He said, "In the past two years, Zhou Wei has achieved great achievements in the county and has been well-received by the higher-ups. There's news that the title of Deputy County Magistrate Zhou will be removed soon. But even if he doesn't, with the power he holds, it's still easy for him to influence the reporting direction of the county's tabloids."
Gao Dapeng's words made everyone's faces darken.
If Zhou Wei really becomes the county magistrate, then Zhong Yuanbing will be even more difficult to deal with in the future.
It was Long Xu who spoke again: "Right now, the situation is stronger than we are. We can't confront Mr. Zhong head-on. Brother Cai, I suggest that we show weakness to the enemy first, put aside this grudge for the time being, accumulate strength to find Mr. Zhong's weakness, and then give him a fatal blow."
"If you have any ideas, please tell me in detail." Li Youcai looked at Long Xu.
"Return Xiao Ding to Zhong Yuanbing. In exchange, let Zhong Yuanbing use his connections to get the newspaper to publish a report to clear our factory's name. As for those who were poisoned, let him clean up the mess!" Long Xu suggested.
"What? You want to return Xiao Ding to Mr. Zhong?" Dalinzi was immediately anxious when he heard this: "Long Xu, are you kidding me? Xiao Ding is the only evidence that can clear our factory of the poisoned bread. If you hand him over, what if Mr. Zhong agrees but then changes his mind? What should we do?"
Although Dalinzi's tone was bad, what he said was actually what the other people wanted to say.
"Before we return the person to him, we can have Xiao Ding write a confession. If Zhong dares to change his mind, we will send the confession to the public security bureau and report someone for poisoning and framing him."
"Zhong Yuanbing's uncle is the deputy county magistrate. Although he can help him, his position is very sensitive. Now that his uncle is about to be promoted, he certainly dare not make a big deal out of it and affect his uncle's official reputation."
Wang Qiang listened for a long time, then suddenly looked at Gao Dapeng: "Brother Gao, I haven't had time to ask you yet, are you familiar with Director Chen of the Health Bureau?"
"Not bad. He has been a regular here since the restaurant opened." Gao Dapeng replied.
"If it was just this kind of relationship, would he take the risk to tip you off in advance so that we could destroy the evidence as soon as possible?" Wang Qiang asked again.
Gao Dapeng hadn't thought about it in this way before, and just thought that Director Chen reminded him out of friendship. But now that he thinks about it carefully, there are indeed some suspicious points.
Given their relationship, it was considered good enough that Director Chen told him about the poisoning. How could he possibly tip him off and even leak such an important matter as the joint surprise inspection to him?
"Do you think there's something wrong with Director Chen?" Gao Dapeng said with a cold face.
Wang Qiang nodded. "It was because of what he told you that I opened the production workshop for self-inspection. Xiao Ding was also planning to poison the factory at that time. Putting these two things together, Director Chen is extremely suspicious. I'm worried that he might be one of Zhong Yuanbing's men."
Liu Ziqiang panicked. "Director! They inspected the factory last night, and the people from the Health Bureau took a lot of samples away, saying they were going back for testing. If Director Chen has a problem and tampered with the samples, then we'll be left with no explanation!"
Li Youcai didn't expect there was this layer.
The scene fell into solemnity again.
Li Youcai took a deep breath, then suddenly laughed.
"Don't be so nervous. Zhong Yuanbing doesn't have three heads and six arms. Even if Zhou Wei becomes the county magistrate, he can't cover the sky with one hand."
"Besides, I think Zhou Wei is very likely unaware of all the trouble Zhong Yuanbing has caused. After all, Zhou Wei is in a critical period of promotion right now, and the mass poisoning incident has a huge impact. I don't believe he would allow Zhong Yuanbing to do this at this time."
"So Director Chen was most likely dragged into this passively. It's unlikely he's behind the scenes doing anything."
"I think Brother Cai's analysis is correct. Leaking some information might be possible, but tampering with the test results or poisoning the samples could lead to him being stripped of his job and sent to jail. Without Zhou Wei's authorization, Zhong Yuanbing alone would definitely not be able to persuade Director Chen." Long Xu said.
After sorting out the whole thing, most people have understood it.
Now Zhong Yuanbing is in an invincible position with the support of his uncle Zhou Wei. It is almost impossible to use Xiao Ding to defeat him.
And once they play the card of Xiao Ding, they will definitely provoke Zhou Wei, and then their side will only face a bigger enemy.
Doing so will only backfire.
Li Youcai thought for a moment and made a final decision: "Let's do as Long Xu said and exchange Xiao Ding for Zhong Yuanbing! As long as we can preserve the reputation of the factory, then we won't lose this round."
Seeing that Brother Cai had made a decision, everyone at the scene stopped talking.
Wang Qiang sneered, "More than 20 people have been poisoned. Zhong Yuanbing created this mess himself. It will probably take some effort to clean up."
"That's not something we should worry about. I am a little worried. Zhong Yuanbing didn't get what he wanted this time, and he turned his hidden cards into open cards. I'm afraid he will be more deliberate in harming us in the future." Gao Dapeng said.
"It's always better to have enemies in the open than in the dark. Everyone should be extra careful during this period and don't let anyone take advantage of you." Li Youcai reminded everyone.
"Brother Gao, please call Zhong Yuanbing for me and ask him to meet here tonight."
"Okay, I'll go get it right away."
Gao Dapeng stood up and went to the office to call Zhong Yuanbing.
"Qiangzi, Ziqiang, you two go back to the factory and keep everything as normal. Make sure the factory remains stable and there are no mistakes."
"Don't worry, with the two of us here, the factory will be as stable as a rock."
"Dalin, Long Xu, I'll leave Xiao Ding to you two. Make sure Xiao Ding writes his confession in his own handwriting, signs it, and puts his fingerprints on it. Don't leave any of it out. Also, take him to a photo studio and have him take a close-up photo holding his confession."
"understand!"
After Li Youcai finished explaining all this, he stood up and said, "I'm going home first, and then I'll come back to see that bastard tonight."
