People enjoying the spectacle only knew that the chili sauce produced by the Chili Sauce Factory was delicious," they didn’t actually know what it was like inside. Now, seized by the opportunity, they all rushed in.
Sister Xihua and the others were encountering this sort of situation for the first time and were quite startled.
"Sister Xihua, it’s okay, just continue with your work," Ji Ying consoled her while Zhou He was at the door explaining to the health department’s staff how the proper attire was essential to ensure the food’s cleanliness inside.
"Director Wu," one of the health department’s staff whispered to the man leading them, initially expecting to find numerous faults in a chili sauce factory, but surprisingly since entering the facility, they noticed it was exceptionally clean.
From outside, through the large glass windows, they could still observe the interior conditions.
"Wow, this is really clean."
"So, the chili sauce is made by so many people?"
"This floor is even cleaner than my dishes at home."
"Exactly, look how oddly they are dressed."
As the onlookers chatted among themselves, Ji Ying took the opportunity to say, "Folks, I assure you, we make our chili sauce with integrity, without cutting corners, it’s absolutely clean."
Ji Ying’s words were resonant and forceful.
That evening, Xu Nianji learned about the situation," the health department had used the pretext of the chili sauce being unclean to shut down the Chili Sauce Factory and suspended its operations.
"Mom, aren’t they just causing trouble on purpose?" Xu Nianji knew how their own chili sauce factory worked, everything was clean. How could it be unclean?
"The Li Family really did have severe diarrhea," Ji Ying was also troubled by this matter and said, "I specifically went to the hospital today to have the Li family checked. They indeed suffered from severe diarrhea. The doctor said it was acute enteritis caused by consuming unclean food."
"We’ll take full responsibility for the medical expenses." More importantly, whether it was caused by our chili sauce is still unknown. Tell me, they entered the hospital in the morning, and by noon the health department’s people had already shown up. Isn’t that too much of a coincidence?" Xu Nianji always felt that there was something oddly coincidental about it.
"Nianji, no matter what, we must handle them with great care," Ji Ying frowned and said, "The Chili Sauce Factory will close for a few days. I believe it’s definitely not because our chili sauce is unclean."
Ji Ying was especially confident in this regard.
Xu Qinghe, Zhou He, and others had come, not just them, but also Xu Yuchun and villagers had come specifically to inquire about the situation.
Ji Ying was comforting everyone, ensuring that the Chili Sauce Factory would definitely operate normally in the future.
Meanwhile, Xu Nianji frowned, waiting for Ji Ying to finish comforting everyone before he called Xu Nian’an.
It wasn’t easy to find Xu Nian’an late at night, but fortunately they had installed a phone in the neighboring shop. They found Ban Lin, who was staying in the shop, and she went to the school to fetch Xu Nian’an.
"Big brother, what’s wrong? Did something happen at home?"
Xu Nian’an, panting, rushed to the phone. As soon as the call went through, Xu Nian’an anxiously inquired, truly worried something had happened at home during this late hour.
"Nian’an, you think fast."
Xu Nianji detailed the day’s events, especially the parts he found suspicious, explaining everything clearly.
On the other end of the phone, Xu Nian’an was silent for a while before asking, "Big brother, do you think, that person doesn’t want money, just wants to blow this thing up?"
