Bang.
Along with the sound of glass shattering, some people screamed, and the streets were filled with rioters. Many people rushed into some shops selling cereal substitute products and directly smashed the goods.
Tommy watched the news from various places quietly. The whole office was in chaos, and riots broke out in various states.
It was already past 4 o'clock at noon, and the riots might continue, because the evidence released by Tommy made many people know the truth.
This truth has made too many people angry. Now the people just want to overturn all these factories that produce harmful food, and all states are dealing with the matter.
Selena looked a little worried and asked.
"what to do?"
Tommy shook his head.
"Since we can't stop it, we can only let things calm down slowly."
Tommy's televised speech last night did not calm the public's anger. People from WBI and WIA came over. They also wanted to know where Tommy got this information. Tommy just told them that someone had a secret.
Compiled through investigation.
Currently, the two departments have set up a joint investigation team and have launched an investigation into these companies that produce harmful substances. It is difficult for many people to imagine that these cereal substitutes have been sold for more than 10 years.
"Everyone has worked hard today. This country has serious problems now. We must take responsibility and solve all problems."
Tommy's words made everyone nod. Such a serious food safety problem has harmed the country for ten years.
"Mr. President, we have found test reports from three companies, and they have truthfully explained some things."
WBI Director Kuris came over and said, Tommy smiled and nodded.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Curris came here early this morning and actually discussed many issues with Tommy. Their department fully supports all of Tommy's decisions. Curris has made his position clear, and Tommy certainly knows this.
Tommy was able to obtain such top-secret information, and Kuris's swaying figure began to settle down. He knew very well that this president was terrible. From the election to the first actions, Kuris was completely convinced.
Only WIA Director Norton was still a little hesitant at this moment. He did not order his people to conduct a strict investigation, but began to discuss with some senior executives of companies that produce grain substitutes.
If all problems with the current situation are found to be comprehensive, the entire country will be in turmoil.
Norton walked to Tommy and whispered.
"Mr. President, can we have a few words?"
Tommy nodded. He had noticed something was wrong with Norton this morning, because Norton did not report anything about going to the factory to investigate, but just casually mentioned some irrelevant questions.
Soon Tommy and Norton came to a small living room nearby. Tommy lit a cigarette. After Norton sat down, his expression became serious.
"Mr. President, how long do you think this riot will last?"
Tommy exhaled the smoke happily and said.
"About a week. After a week, many solutions will come out. Those who should be prosecuted should also find a good lawyer, and the public's anger will calm down. This matter must be handled strictly. By the way, Director Norton,
How is your investigation going? Please report to me now."
Norton hummed, then smiled.
"Mr. President, not all grain substitute production companies on the market have problems, right? That's why you signed such a presidential order to let them withdraw from the market, no more than 10% of the market."
Tommy just smiled and did not nod. He knew that Norton was testing him for the sake of the capital behind him.
"Mr. President, I think there is a solution now."
Tommy nodded.
"Tell me, Mr. Norton."
Such sudden top-level treatment may cause chaos, and many companies may directly go bankrupt. At that time, the entire market will suffer an immeasurable impact.
Tommy shook his head.
"How will you know if you don't try it?"
Tommy's words stunned Norton, and he immediately stood up and said.
"Mr. President, please don't joke with me. Do you know how complicated the people and things involved in the whole matter will be if it is really investigated? How long will it take to investigate?"
Norton's words immediately alerted Tommy. He already had a candidate for the next WIA in his heart. Tommy put away his smile and then smiled.
"You should talk to the people in the economic department about this matter instead of coming to me directly."
Norton became a little impatient.
"Mr. President, in order to reduce the impact of this incident on the people, I think we must reduce the investigation of some companies and only need to sample, so that the companies can be qualified. In this case...
"
Tommy stood up suddenly, then burst out laughing, shaking his head.
"Director Norton, I think you may not be clear-headed. I need your department's investigation report now. It's been a few hours. Please be sure to give me your department's investigation report as soon as possible, before 6 p.m."
Norton's face was solemn. He did not arrange any investigation because this matter cannot be investigated. Once it is investigated, it will cause very big problems.
"Mr. President, don't you think about the economy?"
Tommy nodded and laughed.
"Of course I will consider the economy, but as far as the current problem is concerned, we still have to solve the problem first."
Tommy shook his head.
"Mr. President, I hope you can think about this matter carefully. After all..."
Tommy shook his head.
"If I think about these companies, or their wallets, then who will think about the people who have been exposed to harmful food for ten years?"
Norton swallowed, and sweat broke out on his forehead. He probably understood what Tommy wanted to do.
"But Mr. President, I think we can talk about this matter privately. I will contact the bosses of those companies, and then we will have a meal together tonight. In this way, many problems can be solved. Since this can guarantee you
A very good support rate can also make businessmen support you even more."

"Mr. Norton, I don't think we need to continue talking. Remember to submit the report."
Tommy was about to leave, but Norton stopped him quickly and said.
"Mr. President, don't worry about the report, or I will call them now. In this case..."
"You probably have never seen people who were tortured to death by illness and even had no money to buy medicine and finally died of illness at home."
Tommy said and lit another cigarette. Norton lowered his head and said after a while.
"This is how the world is. They only exist because those businessmen are willing to give them a bite to eat, so..."
"Shut up."
Tommy looked furious. He couldn't understand that such words came out of Norton's mouth. He glared at Norton and asked.
"Without those hardworking people, those businessmen would probably starve to death."
Norton shook his head.
"Times have changed, Mr. President, and robots can completely replace them."
Tommy patted Norton on the shoulder.
"It's time for you to go back and have a good rest, Mr. Norton."
Norton continued chattering.
"You have to see the situation clearly, Mr. President. If you communicate well with businessmen this time, you will definitely be re-elected in the future. Why don't you fight for such a good opportunity?"
Click.
Tommy smiled after opening the door.
"From now on, your position as WIA director has been relieved. Please go home and have a good rest to calm down."
Norton looked at Tommy dumbfounded, Tommy walked out, and Norton shouted loudly.
"Do you want to see bloodshed?"
Norton's shout attracted many people, who all looked at the corridor, and Tommy laughed.
