Yangchuan Fisheries Association is a non-governmental organization formed spontaneously by breeders and does not yet have a real chairman. Several large breeders act as vice-chairmen and discuss matters together when necessary.

"Oh? What proposal?" Wang Jian She was slightly taken aback and somewhat surprised as he took the proposal from Mr. Sun's hands. It seemed that Mr. Sun had specifically come to discuss the feasibility of this proposal with him today.

The content of the proposal wasn't long, less than three pages, and Wang Jian She quickly read through it.

"Do you think it's feasible?" Mr. Sun asked.

After a moment of contemplation, Wang Jian She said, "If we're looking at the proposal itself, I think it's feasible. Having the industry itself take the lead in self-inspection is probably the best approach."

Mr. Sun nodded in agreement, "We're on the same page here."

"However, regarding Zhou Jin in this proposal..." Wang Jian She hesitated slightly, half as if seeking guidance and half as if discussing, and said, "I've heard his reputation isn't very good. If he's in charge of this, might there be unexpected adverse effects, causing unnecessary complications?"

Mr. Sun grunted in acknowledgment, paced around the office twice with his hands behind his back, and finally said, "Wang, let's just worry about the present. Besides, Zhou Jin does have some prestige in the Fisheries Association."

"All right, I agree with this proposal. If there's anything you need my side to coordinate with, you can tell him to come directly to me," Wang Jian She said.

"I hope this issue can be resolved smoothly, so we both can give a good account of ourselves to those above us. I'll have my secretary give Zhou Jin a heads up. If he handles this well, the municipal committee will remember his contribution," said Mr. Sun, his words carrying an implicit meaning. If handled well, it naturally meant promotion and wealth; but if Zhou Jin took the initiative to solve the hormones issue and messed it up, he might have to bear the brunt of the blame.

To put it in a rather clichéd way, this was both an opportunity and a challenge.

After all, the reason Mr. Sun and Wang Jian She had agreed to the proposal after discussing it for half a day was not because of its excellence, but because, at times when the government couldn't come forward, there was someone willing to "share the government's worries" without implicating the government. This allowed the government to always stay behind the scenes, retaining the initiative, able to advance or retreat as necessary.

"Dear citizens and viewers, hello, this is Yangchuan City TV Station's special program on food safety. I'm the host, Shen Meng. Recently, the issue of hormones in food has gone viral online, causing some panic among the populace. Today, we have invited the vice-chairman of Yangchuan City United Fisheries Association and the leader of Huating Fisheries Company, Zhou Jin, as our guest,"

After the charming hostess with slightly narrow and sharp eyes finished speaking, the camera shifted to a neatly dressed middle-aged man sitting diagonally across from her, Zhou Jin himself.

"Hello everyone." Zhou Jin sat upright with the demeanour of an honorable man, nodding slightly towards the camera, and said, "As the host has mentioned, food safety issues concern everyone's health and cannot be taken lightly."

"So, as the vice-chairman of Yangchuan Fisheries Association, what is your view on this matter?" the host, Yang Meng, asked.

Nangong Yan was also sitting in Suming's office watching the television, grumbling discontentedly, "Seeing Yang Meng's face just annoys me. She's psychologically twisted, always making life difficult for newcomers. When I first started at the TV station, I had to put up with so much from her! What, just because she's got an affair with a station leader..."

"When I make it big one day and buy your TV station, that's when, if you have an affair with me, you can then give her hell!" Suming joked.

On the TV, Zhou Jin continued, "I personally run an aquaculture company, so I am extremely concerned about this issue. After the incident, I immediately sought out relevant experts, and I want to start by debunking a myth for everyone here, the issue with hormones generally doesn't exist in plants, so everyone can rest assured when consuming plant products."

"What about animals?" the host asked knowingly.

"Right, animals can definitely be affected by hormones. Fish, in particular, can be influenced by even a small amount of hormones in the water, which means from a cost perspective, fish farming is actually the most likely to use hormones. I think that's one of the reasons why the host invited me here today, haha."

The host smiled and nodded, "That's exactly right. This hormone scandal has not only caused panic among citizens but has also had a huge impact on you and the entire aquaculture market of Yangchuan City. As the vice president of the Yangchuan Fisheries Association, and with your Huating Reservoir being the largest freshwater fish farm in Yangchuan City, do you have any strategies in place?"

"Oh, just a few days ago, on behalf of the entire Yangchuan Fisheries Association, I proposed a motion suggesting that the Yangchuan Fisheries Association take the lead in conducting a comprehensive inspection of all fish farmers within Yangchuan City who are above a certain scale. Also, to reassure the public, the entire process of the inspection will be made public, broadcasting live on-site so that the citizens can see the truth in real-time! Just before I came to the studio, the association had already had a meeting to develop the inspection process and plan, and we have invited scientists from both provincial and city levels to form an expert group, with full accompaniment and coordination by the association, and the live broadcast will be carried out by Yangchuan City TV Station!"

"That is great news! If safety can be assured at the source, then citizens will surely feel much more at ease when making purchases," the host said with a smile. "Now there are over a dozen fish farms in Yangchuan City, where do you plan to start?"

"As a socially responsible entrepreneur, I would suggest starting with my Huating Reservoir," Zhou Jin said.

"Good, let's give Mr. Zhou a round of applause for his selflessness! Finally, I have one more question, if any issues are found at a fish farm during the inspections, what kind of penalties will there be?"

"Firstly, the Fisheries Association will impose the strictest economic penalties and expose those involved, adding them to the supplier blacklist. At the same time, we will make the evidence public and hand it over to law enforcement agencies, and for those suspected of illegal activities, the government departments will initiate legal proceedings."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Zhou Jin's statements on TV quickly spread through various channels.

In the past, when similar issues arose, the TV station would sometimes conduct undercover investigations, such as the annual March 15th consumer rights day programs, but never once did they use a live broadcast format!

That meant everything occurring during the investigations, every word of each participant, every detail, would be presented to the audience just as it was.

There are no secrets under the sun, and the audience is not foolish; as long as the inspection is broadcast live, it will be very difficult to play any tricks, or at least the difficulty of playing tricks will increase substantially, especially when the hormone issue has already been fervently highlighted in the public eye, nobody would take the enormous risk for one or two fish farms.

Furthermore, in front of countless viewers, once any issue is found at a fish farm, no matter what the identity or background of the owner, they will inevitably face the most severe penalties.

As soon as the news of live broadcasting came out, it signified that the administrators were serious, undoubtedly rejuvenating spirits and quickly attracting a significant amount of attention. It wasn't only the residents of Yangchuan City but also the whole province and even the entire country that turned their focus to the small Yangchuan City TV Station.

Although the live broadcast hadn't started yet, the ratings of various shows on Yangchuan City TV Station had evidently increased a lot over the last few days.
