Chapter 80: Spot Check
Sun Chengfu led the group of people into the car and rushed toward the back of the mountain.
On the way, they could even see a long line of cars.
“Do you have this many cars waiting to pull the coal every day?”
“This is still considered a small amount. Sometimes, it will be twice as long as this. Our workers can’t even accommodate the demand!”
When Sun Chengfu said this, he was full of smiles. The more coal buyers there were, the more money they earned. How could they not be happy!
Division Chief Li had a serious expression. “We can’t just pursue speed and disregard the safety of the workers. In the coal mine, we must prioritize safety. If any problem arises, the consequences will be severe!”
“Yes, yes, yes. We are aware of that. Our boss places great importance on safety issues. We don’t dare to slack off at all!”
Clearly, the group of people did not believe Sun Chengfu’s words.
Many of these private coal mines only cared about money and not the safety hazards. There were many examples of this.
On the way, Sun Chengfu said, “Division Chief Li, the car in front can’t enter any further. We need to get out of the car and walk a small distance!”
“You can’t drive in?”
Reporter Liu frowned. “How far are we from the coal mine? How long do we need to walk?”
There was a queue of transporters at the side where they got out of the car. The queue was at least two thousand meters long.
Sun Chengfu hurriedly said, “It’s not far. The entrance is just ahead!”
They walked along the line of transporters. When they got closer, they realized that this was not an entrance at all. It was just a corner. When they turned it, there was still such a long line of cars.
Reporter Liu’s legs hurt from walking. He asked, “Isn’t it not far? We’ve been walking for more than half an hour!”
“We’re almost there, it’s right in front!”
After walking for nearly an hour, they finally saw the entrance to the mine.
Division Chief Li and the rest were so tired that they didn’t want to talk, especially the staff who were carrying the equipment.
Sun Chengfu led them into a two-storey building. “This is a simple guest house built by us. Leaders, let’s rest here for a while!”
Division Chief Li and Reporter Liu both refused.
Although they were so tired that they did not want to move, they had to go down to the mine as soon as possible and launch a sudden attack. Only then could they discover more loopholes. If they had received the news and had sufficient time to clean up, what else could they find out?
Sun Chengfu urged, “Division Chief Li, we still have to walk a distance later. It’s better to rest here for a while before going down!”
However, Division Chief Li and the rest felt that he was guilty and deliberately delaying time.
“There’s no need to rest. Let’s change into the work clothes and go down now!”
The staff member who brought the equipment got the two of them to change into a full set of equipment. A safety helmet, wrist guards, knee guards, protective suits…
After changing, Division Chief Li looked at Sun Chengfu. He wanted everyone here to clearly see that this was the professional safety protection equipment.
Sun Chengfu hesitated to say something, but in the end, he did not say anything.
He led Division Chief Li, Reporter Liu, and a photographer down the mine.
There were stairs built at the entrance of the mine, which was very convenient for people to go up and down.
When they arrived underground, Sun Chengfu led them into a simple house and started changing into the equipment required in the mine.
Division Chief Li and Reporter Liu looked a little embarrassed.
They realized that Sun Chengfu’s entire set of equipment was much more professional than theirs.
Sun Chengfu said, “Actually, I wanted to tell you all just now that you can change your clothes after reaching the bottom. It’s a place that we specially built.”
Division Chief Li and the other two didn’t answer.
The four of them walked inside. Gradually, Division Chief Li’s expression changed.
