Chapter 1113: Chapter 1113: Thunderous Rage

"How is it that you do your work? The entire regiment’s warriors got food poisoning and have vomited and had diarrhea! This issue has blown up to the point that even the division headquarters knows about it."

The Logistics Department Director stood up to make a self-criticism to all the attendees: "Such a situation has occurred because our work was not done properly. I apologize to everyone here, and I assure you, I will quickly investigate the cause and take full responsibility for the entire regiment’s warriors."

"It’s not just about taking responsibility! Shouldn’t you reflect on your future work as well?" Zhang Jianguo slammed the table as he shouted, "Comrades, even though you don’t carry guns or fire cannons, the kitchen is your battlefield! You must ensure that the entire regiment’s warriors can enjoy delicious, hygienic, and healthy meals!"

"Yes!" All the attendees answered in unison.

"Meeting adjourned." Zhang Jianguo’s anger subsided slightly as he pointed at the Logistics Department Director and asked, "What’s the situation? Any leads yet?"

"Some. I asked the soldiers in the cooking squad this afternoon, and it seems that the vegetables we’ve purchased recently aren’t very fresh."

"The vegetables aren’t fresh? If they’re not fresh, why buy them? Why can’t you choose a supplier with fresh vegetables? Are vegetables dead, and should people die too?" Zhang Jianguo glared with a clear fury in his eyes.

When had such an incident ever occurred in their regiment?

A diarrhea outbreak among all the warriors was too embarrassing!

"This..." The Logistics Department Director hesitated for a moment, "I’m not sure if I should say."

"Speak up! Don’t mumble!"

"Here’s the thing, after the incident happened, I went to check with the cooking squad. The squad leader said that the vegetables delivered recently have not been very fresh. There are sprouted potatoes, rotten sweet potatoes..."

"And you still bought these vegetables? Bring the person in charge of procurement to me!" Zhang Jianguo was determined to get to the bottom of this today, "Is there someone taking a kickback in the middle of this?"

Seeing that the issue could escalate, the Logistics Department Director hurriedly explained: "These vegetables are delivered on a fixed schedule! They were quite fresh initially, but since after the new year, each batch has been worse than the last. However, the vegetables recently procured belong to the Chief of Staff’s wife’s family; the one delivering them is the Chief of Staff’s brother-in-law! You see, about this issue..."

Zhang Jianguo frowned upon hearing this; such an issue at this critical moment was a very bad influence.

How could they let family members do business within the army?

"Alright, I’ve got it! You can go now!" Zhang Jianguo waved his hand dismissively.

After sending off the Logistics Department Director, he immediately made a call to bring Qin Jian over.

With a sudden outbreak of collective diarrhea in the troops, Qin Jian had not left.

The procurement of vegetables for the troops came eighty percent from his own brother-in-law’s vegetable garden.

He had been emphatic from the very beginning, insisting that vegetables supplied to the canteen must be of good quality.

If this wasn’t achievable, then they shouldn’t do business at all.

Back then, his brother-in-law An Ping agreed readily.

Thus, by having his father make a few inquiries, it was merely to provide an option for everyone.

He even specifically supervised the issue for a while afterward.

The vegetables were indeed not bad, significantly better than what was on the market, and the prices were fair!

Considering that his young brother-in-law was proving to be reliable in business and, coupled with his wife An Hao’s repeated reminders, he believed that An Ping wouldn’t mess things up.

Who would have thought that such a severe mishap would happen?

"Sit down and let’s talk!" Zhang Jianguo said sternly to Qin Jian.

Qin Jian sat upright: "Commander, please speak."
