Family connections: From special recruitment by the county committee to the pinnacle of power

Upon hearing this, the young man raised an eyebrow, glared at Xu Hansheng, and said, "Who can guarantee that he hasn't touched the food? As long as you can provide evidence, I won't punish your family."

At this point, the young man sized up Xu Hansheng with an unfriendly expression and said, "Also, what was that attitude of yours just now? Were you questioning me?"

"Let me tell you, someone got food poisoning at your place before, otherwise they wouldn't have gone to the health bureau to report you!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the guests at the other tables who were still eating put down their chopsticks and looked at Xu Hansheng and his son Xu Weidong with scrutinizing eyes.

One of the female customers at one table even bluntly said, "Your food is so expensive, and you can't even guarantee basic hygiene?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a male customer at the same table slammed his chopsticks on the table and said coldly, "That's right, twenty yuan for a single dried chili pepper and tofu! We came here because of your class, and after all this fuss, it turns out it's not even as good as a snack bar!"

A middle-aged woman nearby chimed in, "Who says otherwise? If we get food poisoning, you'll be responsible!"

Immediately, the guests at the two or three tables around started talking all at once.

Xu Hansheng glanced at the young man and said, "Fine, since you put it that way, we really can't provide evidence to prove that she didn't touch the food. We'll accept the punishment, okay?"

"However, I remember you issued a ticket in the kitchen before, didn't you? Give it to me too, but I demand you specify which parts of our kitchen were unsanitary, otherwise we won't accept this fine!"

As they were talking, Xu Hansheng went to the counter, opened the drawer where working capital was stored, pressed his hand against the hundred-yuan bills inside, and looked at the young man expressionlessly.

Upon hearing Xu Hansheng's words, the young man felt a chill run down his spine.

Xu Hansheng asked him to specify the exact items of the fine and where the problem was found. Doesn't that seem a bit too technical?

He's fined restaurants and such quite a few times, but this is the first time someone has asked him for this receipt.

The key issue is that if the location of the stove is written on the receipt, and Xu Hansheng takes that receipt to the Discipline Inspection Commission to report him, then he'll be in big trouble.

He himself knew that it was excessive enforcement of the law, and if someone sued him, he would be punished.

Just as the young man hesitated, Xu Hansheng continued, "Also, you need to specify that this 5,000 yuan fine is not because our store's employee refused to obtain a health certificate, but because it has already been filed with the health bureau. However, before the health certificate was issued, she participated in the store's dishwashing work and was suspected of having been in contact with the food delivery work. Therefore, the following penalty was imposed."

Hearing this, the young man felt even more uneasy.

The middle-aged man next to him glanced at Xu Hansheng a few times, then stepped forward and said, "Why are you making so many demands? It's your shop that's substandard. If you keep arguing, we'll shut you down for a month!"

Snapped!

Just then, a young woman sitting at the fourth table, eating boiled pork slices, suddenly slammed her chopsticks on the table.

This action quickly attracted the attention of those around them.

The middle-aged man from the food and drug administration looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young woman of about twenty-four or twenty-five. He ignored her and instead said to Xu Hansheng, "Enough with the nonsense, do you accept the punishment or not!"

After all, he was a seasoned veteran and knew that he absolutely could not issue a receipt as Xu Hansheng suggested. Otherwise, he and the young man from the health bureau would at least be punished, and at worst, they might even be fired.

In other counties, the burden might not be this heavy, but Yutong County is an exception.

In the past six months, the Party Secretary has repeatedly emphasized at meetings the importance of humane and compassionate law enforcement in order to facilitate investment attraction.

They're defying the rules!

Once confirmed by the disciplinary committee, even if others don't speak up, no one can get past the secretary's approval, and they will inevitably be dismissed.

If he had known Xu Hansheng knew so much, he wouldn't have come along. But now that things have come to this point, he can only finish issuing the ticket as soon as possible and leave.

Before Xu Hansheng could speak, the young woman with delicate features, a long black ponytail, a black trench coat, and high-heeled boots stood up and said, "You must issue the receipt as he instructed!"

As they spoke, the young woman wiped the grease from her mouth with a tissue, strode forward in her high heels, reached into her pocket, pulled out a work ID, unfolded it in front of the middle-aged man, and said, "Since you are enforcing the law, you must clearly state why he was punished! This is something Secretary Qi has repeatedly emphasized: law enforcement must be transparent and humane. Don't you understand? Didn't your bureau chief tell you that?"

Xu Hansheng glanced at the young woman's work ID and saw that it belonged to the County Party Committee's Inspection Office. He couldn't help but chuckle to himself, thinking that with her around, he could save himself a lot of trouble.

The two law enforcement officers' expressions changed upon seeing the young woman's identification.

I wanted to disobey her, but I didn't dare.

Although the county party committee's inspection office cannot directly exercise jurisdiction, it can report to the party secretary or notify the discipline inspection commission for investigation.

This is a problem!

Xu Hansheng tapped the table lightly and said, "Section Chiefs, please issue a receipt. I have the money ready."

"You two, are you unable to drive it, or are you afraid to drive it? Or perhaps someone sent you to sabotage our family?"

The middle-aged man suddenly looked up, glared at Xu Hansheng, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Xu Hansheng smiled faintly and said, "Am I talking nonsense? Fine, didn't you just say that someone reported our family, saying that they got sick from eating at our house? Where is that person? I'll take him to Qingshan City right now for a full medical check-up. If any problems are found that are related to our family, I will take full responsibility."

Where are they?

this……

Both of them were speechless at Xu Hansheng's questions.

Who gets food poisoning?

Just now, Director Xu's son from the county government office spoke to them, asking them to come and investigate Hongyunlai, impose a fine, or order Hongyunlai to suspend operations for a period of time.

They didn't think much of it. After all, although Hongyunlai Restaurant was the best in the county, everyone knew that the Xu family had no connections or backing. They could only swallow their anger and pay the fine under some pretext.

That's why the two of them came to enforce the law privately.

But now, they've met a tough opponent, and both of them are a bit bewildered.

"Stop making excuses. If someone has food poisoning, can't they go get it treated themselves? Do they expect you to?"

The middle-aged man replied coldly, then frowned and said, "Considering this is your family's first offense, you can be spared punishment this time. But if there's a next time, you'll have to suspend operations for rectification!"

After saying that, he turned to leave.

Xu Hansheng sneered, "You say you'll punish someone, and you say you won't, and you say you won't? Do you think the laws of this country are something you made up yourself?"

"If you can't produce a penalty receipt today, I'll report you to the disciplinary committee and keep reporting you until you're skinned alive!"
