479: Chapter 479: Issuing official documents, explicitly prohibiting...

Soon after, Director Xiao Xueli knocked and entered.

"Secretary, you were looking for me."

"Mhm." Qin Chuan nodded slightly, not beating around the bush at all. "Do you remember me saying that pre-prepared meals are not allowed on our Jiangnan University campus?"

"I remember, of course I remember," Xiao Xueli replied. "You said it during the administrative meeting on the morning of September 1st. I even made special meeting notes for it."

Qin Chuan said, "I stated it very clearly, yet some people have treated it as wind passing their ears. pre-prepared meals have started appearing in large quantities in our school cafeterias."

Hearing this, Xiao Xueli was slightly shocked.

He thought to himself, who has the guts of a leopard to do this? Isn't that seeking death? If Secretary Qin gets angry, he might just strip them of their official post.

He had a family, and his wife was virtuous and especially good at cooking, so he basically went home for dinner every day. It was rare for him to eat at the school cafeteria throughout the year, so he was temporarily unaware of the massive use of pre-prepared meals there.

Qin Chuan waved his hand and said, "Immediately issue an official document in the school's name to explicitly prohibit them. Write it down clearly in black and white: pre-prepared meals are strictly forbidden within Jiangnan University. Violators will be severely punished!"

Xiao Xueli was also very aware of the dangers of pre-prepared meals and immediately said, "Alright, I'll go prepare the document."

Qin Chuan said, "Be quick. Strive to have it officially issued this afternoon. I will sign it."

Xiao Xueli's efficiency was high. By past three in the afternoon, the official document regarding the prohibition of pre-prepared meals on campus was issued to every college, department, and administrative office. It even appeared on the school's official website, WeChat public account, and was posted on several of the school's bulletin boards.

Soon, the vast majority of teachers and students noticed the document, creating a massive stir throughout the campus.

Within the entire Jiangnan Province, Jiangnan University was the first to explicitly prohibit pre-prepared meals.

"The school finally issued a document! Prohibiting pre-prepared meals—I support this with both hands!"

"Damn it, the cafeteria food has been getting worse and worse. So it was because they were using a ton of pre-prepared meals!"

"Thank goodness the school issued a ban. If I ate pre-prepared meals for all four years of university, I'd probably kick the bucket. Even if I didn't, I'd probably get cancer."

"..."

Many people were heatedly discussing the matter. Logistics Minister Xiao Kanglin, of course, saw the official document immediately, and he felt a bit uncomfortable.

He cursed inwardly, 'Damn it, this guy named Qin is trying to cut off my path to wealth. I can't arm-wrestle with you, but General Manager Meng can.'

'You dare to offend General Manager Meng? Do you dare to offend General Manager Meng's father?'

'Heh, I bet you don't.'

'In a few days, you'll have to obediently take this document back. I'll call General Manager Meng now and tell her about this.'

Thus, Xiao Kanglin picked up the phone and dialed General Manager Meng Qingqiu's mobile number.

The next morning.

Xia Shiwen, Jia Wenwen, and a few others went to the cafeteria for breakfast, chatting and laughing.

"Have you guys noticed? The buns taste different today."

"Mhm, much better than before. Also, this mung bean porridge is different too."

"I heard it used to be pre-prepared meals, but now it should be freshly made."

"No wonder. Freshly made is still better."

"Yesterday afternoon, the school specifically issued an official document strictly forbidding the use of pre-prepared meals anymore."

"..."

The girls were chirping away, talking about the cafeteria food as they ate. Suddenly, Xia Shiwen's eyes lit up first as she saw a handsome figure walk into the cafeteria.

It was Qin Chuan!

Having issued the official document yesterday and placed demands on Logistics Minister Xiao Kanglin, pre-prepared meals were not supposed to appear starting today. He had come early this morning to take a look and have breakfast while he was at it.

The cafeteria breakfast was very hearty with plenty of options. Qin Chuan casually bought two meat buns, a bowl of porridge, and an egg, finishing his simple breakfast.

While he was eating, there were always bold students coming over to greet him, especially girls. Qin Chuan responded to each one with a smile.

After finishing breakfast, he was quite satisfied. It seemed nothing was pre-prepared, but rather freshly made early this morning.

To be sure if that was the case, he still needed to check the back kitchen.

Qin Chuan walked into the cafeteria's back kitchen once more. He didn't see any pre-packaged items. Previously, the buns, shaomai, and even the dumplings were pre-prepared, coming off the assembly lines of pre-prepared food factories, packaged, and sent to the school cafeteria.

The cafeteria cooks only had to heat them up slightly before selling them. It was convenient, but unhealthy.

How could pre-prepared dim sum compare to freshly made ones?

Qin Chuan also checked the ingredients for the meat buns. There was no lymph meat; they used fresh leg meat. He also chatted with several chefs in the kitchen to further understand the situation.

After inspecting the first cafeteria, Qin Chuan went to the back kitchens of several other cafeterias, not returning to his office until past nine in the morning.

Presumably having received word that Qin Chuan had made a round of the cafeterias this morning, Logistics Minister Xiao Kanglin knocked and entered.

"Hello, Secretary Qin."

He still maintained a humble appearance. Those who didn't know better would think he was very respectful toward Qin Chuan, but in reality, his heart was completely different; it was all an act.

Qin Chuan said indifferently, "Minister Xiao, the school has issued an official document prohibiting the use of pre-prepared meals. You've seen the document, right?"

"I saw it yesterday. I even specifically organized everyone to study it and sign off on it."

"Mhm, that's for the best. Remember, pre-prepared meals can no longer be used. The students' health is the most important and must be the top priority."

"Yes, yes. I will absolutely not touch that red line. Please rest assured, Leader."

Xiao Kanglin patted his chest in guarantee, then reported on some logistics work before leaving.

For the next two days, Qin Chuan ate at the school cafeterias every day, rotating through different ones. He had lunch at the first cafeteria today and dinner at the second cafeteria in the evening.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival long weekend, Qin Chuan made a trip back to the capital.

After the long weekend ended, he stopped eating at the cafeterias for the time being because Zhu Qingxi was back, and delicious, savory meals were waiting for him every day.

Before the long weekend, he had eaten at the cafeterias for two or three consecutive days, rotating through different ones, and hadn't found any pre-prepared meals. There shouldn't be any more, right?

The freshmen began their military training. Qin Chuan focused some of his energy on the military training, even going to the site personally when he had time to check on the situation.

The weather had turned cooler and was no longer that hot. The students' military training was proceeding smoothly. He heard that a student had died from the heat during military training at the neighboring Jiangnan Normal University, which had caused quite a stir.

Early this morning.

Upon waking up, Qin Chuan did the first thing he usually did: check the system's updated news. Seeing today's news, he was momentarily stunned, and then a surge of rage flared up in his heart.
