This middle-aged man was none other than Song Qiming, the Deputy Secretary of the Southeastern Province Committee and the Secretary of the Sanshan City Committee.
On the way from the door to the kitchen, Ling Xiaotian had already concisely reported the ins and outs of the matter to Song Qiming.
The more Song Qiming listened, the angrier he became. Putting aside the relationship between Ling Xiaotian and Xia Ruofei, the actions of Tian Mingyi, Superintendent Wu, and the others could be said to be audacious and unscrupulous. They completely regarded themselves as local tyrants, relying on their work to supervise these F&B companies to do whatever they wanted.
One could see the whole picture from a single spot. If all the basic civil servants were of such quality and character, then how chaotic would the three mountains under his rule be?
Of course, perhaps this was only a rare case, but for Song Qiming, it was intolerable.
He was not obsessed with political cleanliness. People who were too rigid and did not know how to be flexible would not be able to reach such a high leadership position. However, this did not mean that he was unprincipled. On the contrary, he could accept some exchanges and games of political interests, but he could not tolerate the abuse of power by the basic civil servants who directly faced the masses.
Not to mention that the restaurant was backed by Xia Ruofei.
This was a person that even Master Song highly praised, and who had saved his daughter's life!
Putting aside his political influence, just Xia Ruofei's superb medical skills alone were enough for Song Qiming to value him greatly.
It was no exaggeration to say that being on good terms with Xia Ruofei was equivalent to giving himself an extra life!
Therefore, Song Qiming had already made up his mind to severely punish them, both for public and private reasons.
A new broom sweeps clean, and this first fire will burn the construction of the cadre team and style! Song Qiming murderously said in his heart.
After arriving at the kitchen door, Song Qiming was not in a hurry to go in.
He stood quietly at the door. He had seen the ugliness of Tian Mingyi and the others.
The anger in Song Qiming's heart burned even more fiercely — these people's arrogance and shamelessness were beyond his imagination.
Manager Lu also walked behind the group of people with his head hung low. The first person he saw was not Song Qiming, but Ling Xiaotian beside Song Qiming.
Manager Lu hurriedly called out, "Chairman, you're here …"
Manager Lu was also smiling bitterly in his heart. I don't know if the chairman took the wrong medicine today. He could have used a soft approach to solve the problem, but he just had to go against the other party. Now, even the suspension notice has been issued. What's the use of you coming over?
After Tian Mingyi heard this, he assumed that Song Qiming, who was standing in the middle, was the chairman that Manager Lu was talking about.
He walked over casually and said, "You're the owner of this shop? There's a big problem with your shop! Just now, Director Wu has issued a suspension notice. It's too late for you to plead now. You'd better rectify it properly! "
Song Qiming asked coldly, "Who are you?"
Tian Mingyi curled his lips in disdain and said, "You're quite a busybody! Who I am has nothing to do with you. You'd better think about how to rectify it properly! Don't close down after opening for half a day … "
"How dare you!" Song Qiming angrily rebuked, "What is the purpose of our party? To serve the people! Is this how you serve? You're simply lawless! "
"Yo, yo, yo! Where did this big bad wolf come from? "Director Wu said contemptuously," You're quite good at speaking official language! People who don't know you would think that you're the Municipal Party Secretary! "
"Shut up!" Cao Guangzhi was shocked by Director Wu's words. He quickly squeezed past Ling Xiaotian to the front and said angrily, "This is the Municipal Party Secretary, Song Qiming! What kind of unit are you from? You're simply a b * stard! "
"He's the Municipal Party Secretary?" Tian Mingyi sneered, "Then I'm the Provincial Party Secretary!"
The group of people that Director Wu brought along all burst into laughter. Only Director Wu felt that something was wrong. He had an ominous premonition in his heart. He looked at Song Qiming.
He saw that Song Qiming's face was as calm as still water. His eyes emitted a cold light as he stared coldly at the group of demons and monsters.
Director Wu's heart trembled slightly. He couldn't help but rub his eyes and secretly look at Song Qiming.
He had a tall and burly figure, a dignified square face, a pair of bright and spirited eyes, and his hair was neat and tidy …
The more Director Wu looked at him, the more he felt that something was wrong.
Although Song Qiming hadn't been in office for long, he appeared on the local news almost every day. Ordinary people might not care too much, and many people might not even know that the Municipal Party Secretary had changed, but the civil servants would more or less pay attention to it.
This was a big deal in the officialdom!
Although Director Wu was a small official, he was very good at currying favor — otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to get close to Tian Mingyi. Therefore, he watched the Sanshan news almost every day.
Just now, he preconceived that Song Qiming was Ling Xiaotian. Plus, there was still a difference between what he saw on TV and what he saw in person, so he didn't recognize him.
Furthermore, he would never have dreamed that the Secretary of the Municipal Committee would suddenly come to a private restaurant like this! How could he be so humble?
After Cao Guangzhi angrily scolded Tian Mingyi, Director Wu finally felt that something was wrong. He secretly looked at Song Qiming a few times. His heart began to tremble, and his legs became weak.
This person … really seems to be Secretary Song!
At this moment, Director Wu was so dispirited that he almost fainted.
At this time, Tian Mingyi was still proudly saying, "There are really all kinds of people in this day and age. There's actually someone who pretends to be the Municipal Party Secretary …"
"Shut up!" Superintendent Wu was so scared that he quivered and hurriedly shouted to stop him.
Tian Mingyi was also shocked by Director Wu. He looked at Director Wu strangely and said, "Brother Wu, what's wrong with you?"
Director Wu didn't have time to explain to Tian Mingyi. He almost crawled in front of Song Qiming and stuttered, "Song … Keke … Secretary Song … Keke …"
His teeth couldn't help but chatter, and he couldn't speak clearly. His back was suddenly soaked with cold sweat.
As soon as Chief Wu said this, the kitchen suddenly quieted down. Even if a needle dropped, it could be heard clearly.
Everyone's mouth was wide open, and they looked at Director Wu and Song Qiming in disbelief. Panic quietly spread in this deathly silence.
Is this person really the Municipal Party Secretary? Tian Mingyi couldn't believe it, but he had to believe it. Unless Director Wu suddenly lost his mind, how could he be so scared?
Tian Mingyi felt as if he had been doused with a bucket of ice water. He felt cold from head to toe. His legs couldn't help but tremble, and he even felt the urge to pee …
Just now, he had spoken rudely to Secretary Song and said a lot of sarcastic words! It felt good to ridicule him, but now, even his intestines were turning green with regret.
When he thought about what he had said to the head of the provincial party committee, the head of Sanshan, Tian Mingyi almost fainted.
Maybe it would be easier to just faint, but now, every second was torture for him!
Song Qiming still didn't say a word. He glanced at the group of people coldly. No one dared to look at Song Qiming's majestic eyes. They all lowered their heads guiltily.
Director Wu gathered his courage and said, "Secretary Song, we … we are a joint inspection team made up of health, environmental protection, safety supervision, industry and commerce, taxation, urban management, and other departments. We are doing a spot check on this restaurant. Just now … just now, we didn't recognize you, so …"
Song Qiming looked at Director Wu indifferently and asked, "Spot check? Then did you find any problems? "
Director Wu hesitated for a moment, and a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes.
Now, even a fool could see that Song Qiming was on the side of the restaurant. Moreover, the "problems" they found were not valid. If the other party had no power or influence, these so-called "problems" could still be used against them, no matter how ridiculous they were. But now, if they still brought it out, then they really treated Secretary Song as a fool.
Seeing this, Lin Xiaotian winked at Manager Lu without batting an eyelid.
Manager Lu, who had been suppressing his anger for a long time, immediately came forward and said in a loud voice, "Secretary Song, they found 17 major and minor problems, and issued a fine for each of them. They also gave us a notice of suspension of business for two months."
After that, Manager Lu handed the large stack of fines and notices to Song Qiming with both hands.
Song Qiming took it, and Director Wu hurriedly said, "Secretary Song, these problems …"
Song Qiming raised his head and looked at Director Wu coldly. Director Wu's weak explanation was immediately swallowed back.
Song Qiming then began to flip through the fines in his hands.
"Oil stains on the stove, dirty rag, stale ingredients …" Song Qiming read as he read, "There are so many problems!"
Song Qiming's lips curled into a mocking smile.
Tian Mingyi and the others were silent. Director Wu had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Secretary Song, our law enforcement standards may be slightly stricter because the city has recently been building a civilized city, and the higher-ups have instructed us to vigorously reorganize the food and beverage industry …"
"So you can nitpick on the bones in an egg?" Song Qiming suddenly raised his head and stared into Director Wu's eyes. He asked in a cold tone, "You can create problems when there are no problems? Can you explain what's going on with the seasoning and cooking oil on the stove over there? "
Director Wu's whole body trembled. He stuttered and couldn't say a word.
It was the scene where his group of friends had knocked over the condiment box in front of Manager Lu, and then poured some vegetable oil on it to artificially concoct the concoction.
When Song Qiming arrived at the kitchen door, he just happened to see this ugly scene.
What you hear may be false, but seeing is believing.
Just now, he had heard so much from Ling Xiaotian, but the anger in his heart was not as great as when he saw this scene with his own eyes.
"I … I … we …" Director Wu was completely at a loss.
Song Qiming coldly snorted, looked at Tian Mingyi, and asked faintly, "Which unit are you from?"
Tian Mingyi was the most arrogant just now. Even after Cao Guangzhi came out and revealed Song Qiming's identity, this person still mocked and ridiculed, so Song Qiming remembered him first.
Tian Mingyi was scared out of his wits. Under Song Qiming's majestic gaze, he trembled and said, "Reporting … Reporting … Secretary Song, I … I'm … I'm … the vice principal of Zhonglou Central Elementary School …"
Song Qiming's expression was cold, "Then can you explain why a vice principal of an elementary school like you is here? Could it be that the scope of joint law enforcement has expanded to the point that even elementary schools have to send people to participate? "
"Secretary Song, I … I …" Tian Mingyi's face was sad. He didn't know how to explain.
In fact, he couldn't explain it. They were not in the right at all.
Song Qiming looked at Tian Mingyi with disgust. He no longer had the interest to talk to this kind of small fry.
He directly said to Cao Guangzhi, "Little Cao! Call the leaders of those units and ask them to come to me to pick up the people! "
"Yes!" Cao Guangzhi immediately said.
Tian Mingyi, Director Wu, and the others almost collapsed on the ground. They knew that their political life was completely over. And for someone like Tian Mingyi, it was very likely that his father would be implicated.
For an ordinary restaurant owner, Tian Feilong, the Deputy Director of the Health Bureau, was absolutely a great god. He was someone that they couldn't offend. But for Song Qiming, the Municipal Committee Secretary, dealing with Tian Feilong was just a matter of a few words.
Song Qiming said to Ling Xiaotian with a pleasant expression, "Director Ling, please find a room and send a few security guards to watch over these people."
Ling Xiaotian immediately said, "Okay! Anyway, all the guests tonight have been driven away by them. There are plenty of empty rooms … "
Song Qiming showed a trace of apology and said, "Director Ling, I will definitely give you justice for what happened today!"
"Thank you, Secretary Song!" Ling Xiaotian said sincerely.
Song Qiming smiled and nodded. Then he said to Cao Guangzhi, "When they come, ask them to pick up the people from their units and wait in the private room!"
"Okay, Secretary Song!" Cao Guangzhi quickly said.
At this time, Xia Ruofei, who had been watching from the side, said with a smile, "Secretary Song, let's go to the private room and sit!"
Ling Xiaotian also quickly said, "Yes, yes, yes, Ruofei, Qingxue, please treat Secretary Song and his family well. I will personally cook a few dishes for Secretary Song to express my gratitude!"
Song Qiming said with a smile, "Director Ling, it's rare to see someone as rich as you personally cook! Looks like I'm in for a treat today! "
Ling Xiaotian quickly said, "It's our honor to have Secretary Song visit our restaurant. It's nothing for me to cook a few dishes. Secretary Song, please! "
Xia Ruofei and Ling Qingxue led the way in front. Soon, everyone arrived at the Flying Snow Pavilion.
Song Qiming also praised the elegant and quiet environment of the Flying Snow Pavilion. After everyone sat down in the private room, Ling Qingxue immediately sat beside the coffee table and personally made tea for everyone.
Xia Ruofei also knew what Song Qiming and his family were thinking. He didn't want them to eat with worries, so he said with a smile, "Uncle Song, Auntie Fang, since there's still some time, let me check on Song Wei first! I'll decide on the next treatment plan so that you can eat in peace! "
In front of outsiders, Xia Ruofei still called Song Qiming "Secretary Song," but now that everyone in the private room was on the same side, Xia Ruofei followed Song Qiming's request and called him "Uncle Song."
Xia Ruofei had just briefly told Ling Qingxue about the situation, including Song Wei's illness, so she wasn't too surprised. She still focused on making tea. The tea leaves she used were the top-grade Dahongpao tea that Xia Ruofei had given to Ling Xiaotian.
Song Qiming and Fang Liyun were overjoyed. "Then we'll have to trouble you, Ruofei!"
Xia Ruofei smiled at Song Wei and said, "Come on! Let me feel your pulse first! "
Song Wei smiled sweetly and walked to the chair next to Xia Ruofei to sit down. He stretched out his white arm and put it on the armrest of the chair.
After Xia Ruofei absorbed the knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine from the jade talisman, his medical skills were on a completely different level from when he treated Song Wei. He steadily stretched out his finger and put it on Song Wei's pulse. He had the demeanor of a master.
Xia Ruofei's eyes were slightly closed, and the expression on her face was as calm as ever.
