Chapter 1000: Only Three Days Allowed!

The video quality is not particularly clear.

There are seven guests in total.

Three young men and four young women.

One of the young men received the bill, felt the price was not right, and discussed something with the shop waiter.

The waiter's attitude was very poor, and he subsequently went to the front desk to tell the proprietress at the register that this table of guests had objections to the price.

The proprietress made a phone call, and then the burly, fat-faced boss walked in with a group of people.

The boss pressed the young man who had objections to the dish prices directly onto the table, "There is no problem with this price. If you can't afford to eat it, don't order it; if you've eaten it, you must pay."

The young man said unconvinced: "It's not that we won't pay, but that the menu you gave us earlier didn't list the prices. If we had known you were a rip-off shop, we certainly wouldn't have come in."

The boss was immediately displeased upon hearing the words "rip-off shop."

"I've been running this shop for over ten years. This is the first time anyone has dared to call my place a rip-off shop. If you had spoken nicely, I might have given you a discount, but now that you say I'm a rip-off shop, sorry, today I'm going to rip you off to the end. Not a single cent less, or don't even think about leaving."

"We want to call the police, we want to file a complaint!"

"You kid are really arrogant; not only do you want to eat without paying, but you also want to smash my sign and shut down my shop? Brothers, do it for me, make him vomit out everything he ate into his stomach."

After speaking, several people surrounded the young man.

The other two men saw that the other side was about to take action and hurriedly started to help.

Subsequently, the two groups of people started fighting.

In addition to the video, there is a written description from the victims.

"It's not that we weren't willing to pay, but we had objections to the price. We ordered a stir-fried chicken; at the time, the waiter said it was 160 per portion, but when settling the bill, it became 160 per jin, and this dish was going to cost us 800 yuan. Is this a golden chicken, for god's sake?"

"After we were beaten, we called 110 immediately. After the local Police Station arrived, they determined it was a mutual fight and that both sides should just communicate and settle it. We weren't satisfied and continued to report it. The Police forcibly took me to the Police Station; no one asked about the specific situation, and they locked me up for a night."

"The others returned to the hotel, and in the middle of the night, someone pounded on the door for three or four hours. The women traveling with us were terrified. We originally had travel plans for the second day, but after this night of torment, we had no interest left. After I was released, I bought tickets directly and slunk back home."

"Making this matter public is to let everyone avoid the trap. Absolutely do not go to Dayu County, and do not be deceived by the propaganda on the internet. Remember!"

Tang Ye finished watching the entire video and frowned, "Have you contacted that restaurant boss?"

"Contacted him; that boss's shop has already closed. He must have felt the pressure and hasn't dared to continue business these past few days."

Tang Ye dialed Xing Zhijun's phone directly.

"There is a matter that needs you to handle."

"What matter?"

Tang Ye said: "There is a matter that has caused a big stir; a boss overcharged customers and beat them, and someone recorded a video and uploaded it to the internet."

Xing Zhijun said in surprise, "What do you need me to do?"

Tang Ye said, "First, take control of the boss of this shop. Second, find the contact information of the guests."

Xing Zhijun said softly, "I will go do it right now."

Hanging up Xing Zhijun's phone, Tang Ye received a call from Xue Ying.

Xue Ying's tone was very anxious, "I just saw the negative news about Dayu County on the internet. You all are too careless; how could you let this kind of thing get posted online? Even if it was posted online, you should have found a way to coordinate and handle it immediately. It's been posted for several days, and only now that it has completely spread and exploded have you reacted. Your crisis awareness and public opinion monitoring work are really not up to standard."

Tang Ye was also like a mute eating coptis, "Your criticism is correct. We lacked sufficient understanding of this crisis."

Xue Ying softened her tone, "This negative news has caused an adverse impact on the preliminary promotion of the literary performance. The media wants to cancel the recent soft-ad promotions. Some sponsors are starting to waver. If this public opinion crisis is not handled well, Dayu County's reputation will be ruined, and we will have to choose another place for this performance."

Tang Ye said in a deep voice, "Troupe Leader Xue, I can understand your current situation, please give me some time. Within three days, we will handle this crisis; if we cannot handle it, you can make any decision, and I will absolutely have no objections."

Xue Ying sighed, "Fine, you can only have three days!"

Just after hanging up Xue Ying's phone.

Shi Yao's call came in.

"Secretary Tang, come to my office."

"Alright!"

Subsequently, Tang Ye let Chu Weiming go back first to wait for notification, and he himself came to the County Party Secretary's office.

A rare look of worry hung on Shi Yao's face.

"Just received a call from Secretary Liu; he saw the news about our Dayu County overcharging customers and demanded that we take action immediately."

Tang Ye did not expect the negative news to spread faster than he imagined, "I also know about this matter. I have already instructed the Public Security Bureau to arrest the people immediately, the Industry and Commerce Bureau to seal the shop immediately, and additionally, I have people finding the victims' contact information. I will communicate with the victims personally."

Shi Yao nodded slightly, "A positive attitude alone is probably not enough."

Tang Ye nodded and said: "The current focus of heated discussion is mainly on the internet; I will think of a way to see if I can use the internet to lower the heat. Some companies can be paid to delete these negative news reports."

Shi Yao pondered for a moment, "We are a team, and we cannot put all the pressure on you. We will hold a meeting later; let all departments related to the time be present, and we will discuss a solution together."

Leaving Shi Yao's office.

Tang Ye began to ponder how to handle this matter.

This matter has caused a huge uproar and is known to everyone; it looks like a public relations crisis, but if operated well, it might achieve unexpected results.

Tang Ye can chew on hard bones, and he is also good at chewing on hard bones!

Returning to the office, Tang Ye made a call to Zhao Hui.

"President Zhao, there is a matter I want to discuss with you."

"Secretary Tang, if there is anything you need from me, just give the order."

"I heard that you have acquired thirty-two plots of land and are preparing to build a villa area there."

"Yes, construction has already started. It is estimated that it can be delivered in a year!"

"I have a matter that needs to be handled now, and I would like to ask for your help; see if it's possible!"

"Tell me about it!"

Seeing that Tang Ye had a request, Zhao Hui's eyes were full of surprise!

He had waited for so long, and finally, he waited for Tang Ye to speak!

He thought to himself, Secretary Tang, whatever you need, just say the word!

Even if you asked me to rip out my heart for you, I would be willing!

……

Half an hour later, quite a few attendees had arrived in the conference room.

Among them were the Administration for Industry and Commerce, the Tourism Bureau, the Public Security Bureau, the Publicity Department, and others.

As soon as the meeting began, everyone started passing the buck.

Shi Yao could bear it no longer; she slammed the table hard and said in a deep voice, "Comrades, you should all know the reason for calling this meeting today. Dayu County is actively preparing for the May charity cultural performance. By utilizing this event, we can increase Dayu County's exposure, boost its reputation, and subsequently promote the tourism industry. I did not expect negative news to emerge, which has made Dayu County notorious overnight!

Our current situation is indeed very passive, and from this incident, everyone should also realize the power of public opinion.

If this crisis cannot be resolved, the strategy of poverty alleviation through tourism will be a complete failure..."
