Chapter 2052 Reporter Interview

Liu Fusheng sighed, "I like to be serious about what I do, so please understand Uncle Qiu."

Zhao Qiuwei felt helpless: "It's up to you."

The vehicle kept moving forward, and Zhou Xiaozhe would not stop even if he was inconsiderate.

Liu Fusheng smiled slightly: "Thank you for your understanding, Uncle Qiu."

About an hour later, their car had stopped near the mining area of ​​Mingguang Coal Mine.

Zhou Xiaozhe checked the route and quickly found the location of Zeng’s coal mine.

Liu Fusheng and Zhao Qiuwei got off the car together, and Zhou Xiaozhe handed over two baseball caps.

Liu Fusheng said, "Uncle Qiu, please put on your hat."

Zhao Qiuwei asked in confusion: "Why should I wear it?"

Liu Fusheng said: "You have dealt with the Zeng family before. If they recognize you, it will be inconvenient for us to understand the situation."

Zhao Qiuwei put on his hat helplessly.

Then, Zhou Xiaozhe came over again, clipped a miniature camera on his collar, and put the power supply and transmission cable inside his clothes.

Zhao Qiuwei frowned and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Liu Fusheng said: "My memory is not very good, so I like to record important things so that I can check them later."

Zhao Qiuwei said: "That's not necessary, let me record it too?"

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "This equipment was originally prepared for Xiao Zhou, but he has other tasks today. I will also have to climb up and down in a while, and I am afraid that I will damage the equipment. Therefore, I can only ask Uncle Qiu to help carry it."

Zhao Qiuwei accepted it reluctantly. Then, he saw Liu Fusheng open the big bag in the car and take out the equipment inside. He was immediately stunned.

It turns out that what this guy meant was that Xiao Zhou's other task was to carry a professional camera.

Liu Fusheng was not idle either. He took out a microphone from the package.

This posture instantly reminded people of TV reporters.

Someone happened to be passing by, so Liu Fusheng quickly took the microphone, walked over and said, "Hello, comrade. I'm a reporter from the TV station. Can I ask you a few questions?"

The passerby dressed as a miner was slightly stunned, then subconsciously adjusted his hair and said to the camera: "Okay."

Liu Fusheng asked: "I heard that in our mining area, many mines do not have licenses and are mining illegally. Is this true?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the miner's face suddenly changed. He turned around and was about to leave without saying anything.

Liu Fusheng hurriedly grabbed him and said with a smile: "Master, don't worry, we are recording this live."

"live streaming?"

The miner glanced at Zhou Xiaozhe, who was carrying a camera, and said hesitantly: "What you heard are all rumors. How can there be illegal mining? All the mines here are legal and compliant."

Liu Fusheng said, "I see. Next question: How long do you work every day? Is your safety guaranteed? How do you get treated in the mine?"

The miner's eyebrows twisted into a knot and he said, "Everything is fine. The mine treats us very well. Our work is not tiring, we have food and drink, and we earn a lot of money...Okay, I have something else to do, I'll leave first."

After saying that, he ran away in a hurry.

Zhao Qiuwei asked puzzledly: "Secretary Liu, what do you want to do?"

Liu Fusheng said: "I'm doing a random interview."

Zhao Qiuwei said: "You are not a reporter. Your interview seems a bit inappropriate, right?"

Liu Fusheng smiled and did not answer him. Instead, he locked his eyes on another miner passing by and ran over quickly.

This miner was not from Zengjia Mine, but a worker from a nearby state-owned mine.

This man has a very upright character and is not afraid of trouble. He said to the camera: "There are too many illegal miners, and Zeng's Mine is the most representative one. They don't have any licenses, and they just make money by running the machines. The Industrial and Commercial Bureau came to investigate, but there was no result. Comrade, are you from the city TV station? Has anyone reported it to the higher-ups?"

Liu Fusheng nodded and said, "Yes, that's right. Someone reported the Zeng family's mine to the higher-ups, so we came here to do an interview. As far as I know, the Mingguang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government attach great importance to this matter and will soon crack down on it."

Upon hearing this, the miner laughed and said, "That's great. The Zeng family bastards should be severely punished. They mine illegally and employ many untrained workers, including underage children. Their mining equipment is also unsafe, especially the blasting methods, which are very rough and may even cause damage to the geological structure and affect other mines."

"That is, they have strong backers and connections above them, so the Mining Bureau and the Industry and Commerce Bureau dare not conduct a strict investigation, and..."

The man looked around and said in a low voice: "These people have a background in the underworld. Once they know someone has reported them, they will shout and kill. They have lives on their hands!"

Liu Fusheng heard this and said doubtfully: "Comrade, aren't you afraid of their retaliation?"

The man chuckled, "I was afraid before, but not anymore. Your news will be broadcast at least in the evening, right? It's not even certain whether it can be broadcast at all. I'm here today to complete the resignation procedures. After I get my salary, I'll go back to my hometown. So before I go home, I dare to tell the truth."

Liu Fusheng was delighted. He didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that he would meet someone who was about to resign. That would be a great result.

This guy blurted out a bunch of negative information, then waved his hand and left.

Liu Fusheng then interviewed two more people in succession.

Zhao Qiuwei was standing nearby, and the more he watched, the more puzzled he became. This guy didn't go into the mine, but just hung around the door, pretending to be a reporter. What on earth was he trying to do?

Not long after, five or six burly men with ferocious faces suddenly walked out of the mine with a menacing look on their faces.

They looked around and immediately locked their eyes on Liu Fusheng and Zhou Xiaozhe, then strode towards them.

"What the hell are you doing? Who told you to interview here? Turn off the camera, or I'll kill you!"

As these people talked, they surrounded Liu Fusheng and Zhou Xiaozhe.

Zhao Qiuwei wanted to speak immediately when he saw this, but Liu Fusheng waved at him and tugged at his collar, hinting at the miniature camera.

Zhao Qiuwei frowned and stopped. It seemed that Liu Fusheng wanted him to take pictures in secret.

At this time, he had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem and was standing by as if watching the fun.

After being surrounded, Liu Fusheng was not nervous at all. Instead, he took the microphone and smiled as he interviewed the burly man in the lead: "Comrade, are you an employee of this mine?"

The sturdy man was filmed by the camera in his face, and he immediately said viciously: "I'm your father! I fucking told you to turn off the camera, you don't understand what I'm saying, right? Come on, smash his equipment!"

Upon hearing this, the thugs next to him immediately rushed over and tried to snatch the camera from Zhou Xiaozhe's shoulder.

Zhou Xiaozhe took two steps back, holding the camera and said, "We are reporters from the TV station. Why do you want to take our equipment? We have the freedom to interview news!"
