Zhou Jianmin felt aggrieved. He was indeed responsible for the problems in the school canteen, but it was definitely not the main responsibility. The canteens were all outsourced, so if there was a problem, he had nothing to do.
He couldn't watch the cooking in the canteen 24 hours a day, right?
Besides, these are all issues left over from history, and now he is on the receiving end of a gun.
Qin Yi also knows this, but no matter what, he must do it to show these parents!
A group of parents saw Zhou Jianmin being scolded by Qin Yi, and their previous anger finally subsided a lot.
"Dear parents, don't worry about the cost of your treatment. The school and canteen will naturally bear it. We will also send people to negotiate with you about subsequent compensation. I will also keep your opinions and suggestions in mind. However, It will take a certain amount of time to deal with the canteen problem! At that time, whether it is rectification or removal of this canteen and replacing it, we will need to discuss and negotiate. Otherwise, you give me three days, and you will send a representative after three days How about you come to the city hall to find me and I will tell you the answer personally?" Qin Yi comforted him.
He didn't understand the specific issues in depth yet, but when faced with this group of aggressive parents, he had to calm them down first.
When everyone heard that Qin Yi had said what he said, most of them nodded.
"Then we listen to the mayor."
Seeing that everyone agreed, Qin Yi continued: "The main reason I came here today is to visit these children and find out how they are doing. Why don't you take care of your own children first? I went to visit them one by one."
Under Qin Yi's caring words, all the parents dispersed one after another.
At this time, the director of health, Zhao Yuebo, also arrived sweating profusely, and accompanied Qin Yi to condolences to the children one by one.
Twenty minutes later.
Lin Kai found Qin Yi: "Mayor, the attending physician of the intensive care unit said that after half a day of treatment, the condition has improved a lot. If nothing else happens, he should be able to be transferred to the general ward tomorrow."
Hearing the news, Qin Yi breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay then, let me go and communicate with the parents of this child."
…
When he came out of the hospital, Qin Yi's face was gloomy.
Naturally, the canteen owner sent him away.
"Let me go back to the office and talk to you."
Several people followed Qin Yi back.
In the conference room.
"Director Lin, are you saying that the canteen owner of No. 12 Middle School signed a 30-year contract, and it has only been fulfilled for 11 years now. They still have 19 years of contract period? If we can't do it with the canteen owner, we are Breach of contract? Will you have to pay a lot of money?" Qin Yi asked Lin Kai.
"Yes, Mayor, when the school was first built, the money provided by the finance department was not very abundant, so our Education Bureau and the school prepared some funds to build the school outside, and the condition was to give it to the canteen and them Contract for 30 years!" Lin Kai nodded.
"Mayor, this is where our school is quite helpless. We want to change, but we don't have the money to pay liquidated damages." Zhou Jianmin said with a wry smile.
A miserable sale!
He must suffer miserably!
Qin Yi nodded slightly when he heard this.
To put it bluntly, it’s another issue left over from history!
The funding problem was solved back then, but now new problems will pop up to cause headaches for the people behind.
He believed that the usual minor food poisoning was probably suppressed by the school, or the canteen owner took care of the situation and turned it into a minor matter.
But this time it was different. More than 50 people needed infusions, and most of them needed to be hospitalized for observation. There were more than 100 people with mild symptoms, so they were prescribed some medicine and went back to school.
Another one was seriously ill, which made the parents angry!
"How many schools in our Haitong City are in this situation? How many schools raised funds from outside when they were established?" Qin Yi asked.
In fact, many schools used to do this.
Local finance doesn't give you much money. If you want to build a school, you don't have enough money.
This is the only way to do it!
"Most of the high schools and junior high schools in Haitong City were built using funds from some private business owners, and the canteens of these schools were also contracted to them for 30 years," Lin Kaihui reported.
To put it bluntly, these people are willing to contribute funds because they have other ideas and secondly, they are indeed making money by cooking a restaurant!
With tens of thousands of students in a school, three meals a day, plus midnight snacks, and a canteen are definitely a sure-fire business!
As for any business that won’t lose money, opening a canteen definitely won’t. This is a monopoly business!
"Have there been any food poisoning incidents in other schools in the past three to five years? I want to hear the truth! I won't pursue the past things. After all, they are in the past." Qin Yi said.
Well.
Lin Kai wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurriedly said: "It has happened. Almost every year, some schools have students who have diarrhea after eating. Even if the number of people is small, it is easy to deal with. It is rarely as big as today. Large-scale food poisoning, and the situation is serious.”
"When outsourcing, they only think about cutting costs and making money! They all have thirty-year contracts in their hands, so they are quite confident!" Qin Yi sneered.
Another thing is that they are probably used to using money to clear the way if something goes wrong, turning big problems into trivial ones.
But in Qin Yi's eyes, this approach has great hidden dangers!
First, who knows whether the next food poisoning case will be more serious than this one?
He is in charge of education.
He didn't want any more problems to arise!
But these canteen owners all have thirty-year contracts, and they also contributed a certain amount of funds to build the school!
If they want to take back all these school canteens, the liquidated damages that their government will need to pay will be quite large!
But if the school is not taken back, this kind of thing may happen again!
Once it happens, the problem will be different.
Qin Yi can't expect that nothing will happen to him during his tenure, right?
Besides, he felt heartbroken when he saw those children today, especially those who were still suffering from vomiting and diarrhea even after receiving transfusions.
Since I am an official for one parent, I must do something for the people!
Kill the chicken to scare the monkey!
We must kill the chicken to scare the monkey!
At this time, Lin Kai and others did not dare to say anything.
"We must take back the canteen of No. 12 Middle School, and then let the school manage it by itself and recruit staff to cook! If we can take back the canteen, Principal Zhou, can you promise me that not only will the canteen not appear Regarding food safety issues, will the students be fed well?" Qin Yi looked at Zhou Jianmin!
