Xiao Li immediately became excited: "With this video, this store is completely exposed! We should report it to the industrial and commercial administration immediately!"
"No, it's too early to report it to the industry and commerce." Chu Qian shook her head: "We need to collect more evidence to confirm whether there are problems with other seafood. Just intercepting a little evidence is not enough, in case they shirk that this is just an example.
, it is difficult to establish the fact that this store has systemic problems.”
Xiao Li thought about it and felt that what Chu Qian said made sense: "Senior, you have thought it through! So which one should we try next?"
"I went to another seafood restaurant that I found to be of good quality before to make a comparison," Chu Qian said.
After leaving the first seafood restaurant, the two of them quickly came to the second seafood restaurant that Chu Qian said had good reviews.
The two of them walked into the store. The interior decoration was simple and elegant, and there were many customers. It could be seen that the store had a good reputation.
The waiter warmly greeted the two of them to sit down. Chu Qian and Xiao Li chose a table for two by the window and picked up the menu and looked at it carefully.
"The lobster and Boston lobster here look good, let's order one to try." Chu Qian said to Xiao Li.
"Okay senior, I will listen to you." Xiao Li nodded in agreement.
After Chu Qian handed the order to the waiter, she looked at her surroundings.
She found that the dishes and cutlery here were very clean, the decoration was comfortable, and the whole dining atmosphere was very good.
After a while, the lobster was served.
The waiter smashed the mouth of the lobster, cut off the back shell, checked the meat quality, and brought it to the two of them.
Chu Qian carefully checked the color and elasticity of the lobster. The lobster meat was red, plump and very elastic, unlike the soft and weak texture of chilled lobster.
"Well, it looks like the quality is quite good." Chu Qian said to Xiao Li with satisfaction.
"Senior, I trust your appreciation." Xiao Li said with a smile.
The two fried the lobster meat and tasted it. It was delicious and the meat was elastic. It was indeed fresh lobster that was killed and cooked right away.
Just when the two of them were enjoying eating, Chu Qian's cell phone suddenly rang.
She picked it up and looked at it, then winked at Xiao Li and said, "Xiao Li, I'm going to go out and take a call. You eat first. I'll be back soon."
After Chu Qian finished speaking, she hurriedly walked out of the private room.
Xiao Li nodded knowingly and continued eating the lobster.
After a while, Chu Qian poked her head back into the private room, looking satisfied.
"Have you finished eating? Let's pay and leave after eating."
"Oh? Okay, okay, let's go then." Xiao Li reacted immediately and followed Chu Qian out of the seafood shop.
The two got in the car, and Xiao Li couldn't wait to ask: "Senior, did you find any problems this time?"
"The quality of the seafood in this store seems to be really good, and I also went to the kitchen to observe it. They use fresh, freshly cooked seafood. It should be a formal and legal operation."
Chu Qian nodded with satisfaction and said: "So we have comparability and can prove that there is indeed a problem with the previous family."
Through this comparison, the quality difference between the two seafood restaurants has been very obvious, which provides strong evidence for the subsequent report.
"That's it!" Xiao Li suddenly realized: "The difference can be seen by comparison. This action is too clever!"
"But just one video and one comparison is not enough." Chu Qian said: "We also need to report several other seafood restaurants and collect evidence step by step."
"No problem, senior!" Xiao Li said, "I will take leave today and follow you the whole time!"
As a result, Chu Qian and Xiao Li went through "pretending to be customers" in several seafood restaurants.
Through many comparisons, they can basically conclude that using chilled seafood to defraud consumers is relatively common among high-end seafood restaurants in the region.
However, there are only a handful of formal and high-quality seafood restaurants.
"There is enough evidence now." After collecting a large amount of information, Chu Qian said to Xiao Li: "I am going to edit it into a video and upload it to the Internet!"
"What a great idea!" Xiao Li said in agreement: "Expose all these unscrupulous businesses and make them feel ashamed!"
So, Chu Qian spent a day editing and processing the filmed materials.
She edited several scenes of typical seafood restaurants using chilled seafood and inaccurately weighing them into comparative videos and uploaded them to her video platform.
In just one day, this video exposing the serious fraud problem in a local high-end seafood restaurant has received millions of views!
And the comments below also prove that many consumers have experienced the various phenomena exposed by Chu Qian.
"I've eaten in these restaurants, and the seafood there never felt too fresh, but it turned out to be chilled!"
"I bought expensive lobsters and when I steamed them at home, they shrank a lot. I felt like I had been cheated!"
"Such stores do have serious quality problems and should be strictly investigated!"
Seeing so many consumers reporting that they had also been deceived, Chu Qian and Xiao Li looked at each other and nodded.
They decided to immediately report the video and all collected evidence materials to the Market Supervision Bureau.
The following week, prompted by the exposure of Chu Qian's video, the Market Supervision Bureau launched a large-scale investigation into local high-end seafood restaurants.
As a result, more than half of the stores were heavily fined for defrauding consumers with chilled seafood.
Several of them had the most serious problems, and even had their business licenses revoked!
Both Chu Qian and Xiao Li were very pleased with this.
Through their unremitting efforts, these unscrupulous merchants who use chilled seafood to extort consumers have finally received the sanctions they deserve.
This also proves that Chu Qian, as a public figure, has also become an important force in safeguarding fairness and justice in another form.
One day, Chu Qian suddenly received a strange message, which read: "Don't be complacent. It doesn't matter if you report it, I will still do business and make money!"
Chu Qian immediately realized that this might be a message from a certain seafood shop owner whom she had reported.
This shows that they are probably still operating secretly and preparing to continue defrauding consumers.
So Chu Qian found Xiao Li and told him about the situation.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "It seems that our work is not finished yet." Xiao Li said seriously: "These unscrupulous merchants have annoyed us, and we must stop them forever!"
"That's right!" Chu Qian's eyes flashed with determination: "Since they still want to stand up, we will continue to expose them until they are convinced!"
"Senior, we need to take more covert actions this time." Xiao Li suggested: "We can no longer blatantly pretend to be customers, we need to be undercover!"
"Your suggestion is very good, I feel the same way!" Chu Qian nodded in agreement: "You arrange for an undercover agent to go to one of the stores with heavy fines to find employment, and then collect evidence from inside!"
"No problem, I'll make arrangements right away!" Xiao Li responded.
After a week of secret deployment, Xiao Li finally arranged for an undercover agent to successfully infiltrate a seafood shop that had been heavily fined before but was still suspected to be operating secretly.
This seafood shop, called "K of Hearts," had been heavily fined by the Market Supervision Bureau for repeatedly selling chilled seafood, and even faced revocation of its license.
However, after the recent laxity of supervision, owner Li Haiming began to secretly process chilled seafood in the store in preparation for reopening to the public.
This time, Wang Qiang, the undercover arranged by Xiao Li, successfully applied to become a kitchen worker at the "K of Hearts" by virtue of his many years of work experience in the seafood industry.
Wang Qiang quickly became familiar with the operation of this store and discovered that the owner Li Haiming was still secretly processing chilled seafood.
Every morning, Li Haiming would personally drive to the seafood market to wholesale fresh seafood, and then transport it back to the store to process shrimps, crabs, fish, etc. into chilled seafood for storage.
On the surface, Wang Qiang works step by step, but secretly records every move of his boss.
He even witnessed Li Haiming injecting water into the belly of the big lobster to increase the weight.
Five days later, one morning in the early morning, Wang Qiang came to the store on time to prepare for work, but found that Li Haiming had already started cleaning the store and arranging tables and chairs, apparently preparing to reopen the business.
Wang Qiang took advantage of Li Haiming's inattention and secretly took photos and videos of him carrying chilled seafood from the kitchen.
This is undoubtedly irrefutable proof!
In the afternoon, Wang Qiang followed the scheduled plan and took advantage of the break to send photos and videos to Xiao Li, and briefly explained the situation.
After receiving the evidence from Wang Qiang, Xiao Li immediately contacted Chu Qian.
"Senior, we succeeded!" Xiao Li said excitedly: "The undercover sent evidence that the 'King of Hearts' is indeed still processing chilled seafood, and will even reopen for business today!"
"Great!" Chu Qian was also very happy: "With this evidence, we can officially report it to the Seafood Market Administration Bureau."
"I immediately called the administration and sent someone to arrest the dealer!" Xiao Li said, "Tonight is the first day that the 'K' of Hearts' resumes business. We must not let them succeed!"
So Xiao Li immediately called the duty phone number of the Seafood Market Administration Bureau, briefly described the situation, and asked them to send someone to the "K of Hearts" tonight to arrest Xing Xing.
That night, Chu Qian also came to the vicinity of the "King of Hearts". She saw that the personnel of the administration had hidden themselves around, waiting for the time to come to arrest people.
At 8 o'clock sharp: "King of Hearts" finally opened for business. The owner Li Haiming enthusiastically welcomed the guests who came to dine.
Chu Qian and Xiao Li looked at each other and saw the excitement in each other's eyes.
At 9 o'clock, when the business of "K of Hearts" was at its peak, officers from the Industrial and Commercial Administration Bureau suddenly rushed into the store and captured Li Haiming on the spot while he was cashing out!
"We suspect that you are operating illegally, and we will take you away for review now!"
When officers from the Industrial and Commercial Administration Bureau appeared, Li Haiming's face suddenly turned deathly pale.
He was escorted into the patrol car, his face full of despair and helplessness.
At this point, the "King of Hearts", which relied on chilled seafood to make huge profits, was finally taken away due to the unremitting efforts of Chu Qian and Xiao Li!
This is undoubtedly great news for consumers who have been defrauded by them.
This once again shows the power of Chu Qian, a civilian anchor.
She not only made more people see the dark side of certain industries, but also actively changed the society in her own way!
…
That night, Chu Qian opened the live broadcast room and saw nearly a thousand fans already sitting inside.
"Good evening, dears!" Chu Qian greeted with a smile.
"Today we sanctioned another illegal merchant. Have you all seen the news?" Chu Qian said straight to the point.
"I saw it, I saw it!"
"It's so awesome! Another deceptive and unscrupulous businessman has been dealt with!"
"But sister, this operation is so exciting, why didn't you show it live to us?" A fan couldn't help but ask.
"Well... this operation needs to be kept secret. If it is broadcast live, they will easily find out and destroy the evidence in advance." Chu Qian explained with a smile.
"Oh~ That's it!" Fans suddenly realized.
"We also understand my sister's difficulties. Work comes first, and we will still broadcast live if we have the opportunity in the future!"
"No problem!" Chu Qian said with a smile: "I will consider live broadcasting the next operation, so that you can follow me to catch the bad guys!"
"Great!" Fans immediately became excited.
"Sister, apart from food safety, is there anything else worth exposing and cracking down on?" a fan asked.
"I'm also thinking about this issue." Chu Qian said: "The chilled seafood we investigated today is actually just the tip of the iceberg of food safety issues. There are also many hidden problems in the products and industries we consume daily."
"For example, take cosmetics." Chu Qian gave an example: "Nowadays, many international brands of cosmetics advertise sky-high prices. Consumers think they are high-end products, but in fact, the ingredients and formulas are not much different from domestic products.
, there is an obvious phenomenon of artificially high prices.”
"And there are also some brands that obviously cut corners when producing domestic and foreign versions. The quality of the products purchased by domestic consumers varies. This is especially common in skin care products and cosmetics."
"Wow! I just found that skin care products from big international brands are not as good as advertised!"
"I've also been doubting the quality of a certain big brand's lipstick recently. It's completely different from the ones I bought before!"
After listening to Chu Qian’s analysis, fans all expressed that they had similar consumption experiences.
"Then it seems that the cosmetics industry also needs to be carefully inspected!" Chu Qian's eyes flashed with light.
"Yes! Sister, can you buy some cosmetics from different brands and test the ingredients to see if there is any difference between them and the ones advertised?" a fan suggested.
"That's a good idea!" Chu Qian nodded: "I recently selected several big brands of skin care products and lipsticks for comparative testing to let everyone see the truth!"
"I'm so looking forward to it!" Fans have already begun to discuss the next "cosmetics trial" enthusiastically.
"By the way, in addition to exposing these problems, I have also recently been thinking about ways to regulate online live broadcasts."
Chu Qian continued: "Nowadays, various live broadcast platforms are proliferating, and many live broadcasters make money by spreading rumors and creating trouble. Such behavior also needs to be restrained."
"Moreover, some live broadcasters rely on pretending to be young and stupid to gain attention. The values they spread are very distorted and have a negative impact on young people."
