“Hahaha...” A burst of laughter erupted from the crowd.
“You can be careless with food, but you can’t be careless with your words!” Xiao Han sneered.
“Kid, stop trying to claim connections here.” The disdainful voice of the firefighter said, “You say Young Master Mo is your brother, and that makes him your brother? Besides, even if Young Master Mo were your brother, do you think I wouldn’t dare to issue a rectification notice?”
Xiao Han wasn’t in a rush; he took out his phone and called Mo Shaocong.
After Mo Shaocong picked up the phone, he reassured, “Don’t be afraid, I’ll sort this out for you.”
For Mo Shaocong, such a thing was a trivial matter, too insignificant to be worth mentioning.
Upon receiving the message, Mo Shaocong immediately called the leaders of the Provincial Committee department. Mo Shaocong was not like those ordinary second-generation officials; he was a well-known figure in the provincial city. Moreover, his father was a leader of the Provincial Committee. Many department heads wished to brown-nose Mo Shaocong but couldn’t. Now that Mo Shaocong had taken the initiative to call, these people were naturally very enthusiastic and vowed not to let Hanmen Restaurant suffer the slightest harm.
He hung up the phone.
An eerie smile formed on the corner of Mo Shaocong’s mouth. The main reason Mo Shaocong had always refused to follow his father’s advice to enter politics was that he disliked those who flattered and fawned in Officialdom. He also didn’t want to go with the flow and become one of those flatterers. Mo Shaocong liked to follow his own instincts. Establishing his own territory in the business world was his ultimate goal. He aimed to prove his talent through business and to establish his own power with a business empire.
Hanmen Restaurant.
Several department officials were finalizing the closure of Hanmen Restaurant. The fire department had issued a rectification notice for substandard fire-fighting facilities. The tax bureau, citing unclear tax issues, handed down a rectification notice...
“Kid, it’s been half an hour.” The smile on the firefighter’s face showed contempt: “It looks like you can’t escape this.”
“We’ll see,” Xiao Han glanced at him then replied, “You’ll understand soon enough.”
An official from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau laughed and said, “Give it up. They’re just trying to scare you, and you took it seriously?”
With that, he tore off the rectification notice from his hand and said, “Xiao Han, this is your rectification notice. Complete the rectification within three months. Otherwise, your business license will be revoked.”
At that moment, the firefighter also tore off his rectification notice and handed it over to Xiao Han.
Almost all the department officials had torn off their rectification notices. It seemed like they had united front.
As they were preparing to withdraw, the phone of an official from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau rang. He walked away while taking out his phone. But just as he answered, he heard the voice of the director of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau on the other end.
“Li Honghua, are you at Hanmen Restaurant?” The director’s voice sounded very annoyed.
“This...” Hearing this, he hurriedly said, “This...”
“Don’t beat around the bush with me, spit it out!” The director’s voice brooked no argument.
Therefore, Old Li did not dare to make a sound.
“Hehe...” Xiao Han laughed, “You guys... why aren’t you leaving?”
“That...” Old Li swallowed hard. Although he hated Xiao Han to the core, he had to put on a smiling face. He awkwardly said, “Xiao Han, I just checked the fire safety equipment, and though there were lapses, they are not severe enough for a rectification. So... I’ll retract the rectification notice for now. You should hurry up and correct these issues in your restaurant’s fire safety equipment, so you don’t make our work difficult!”
While speaking, Old Li naturally took the rectification notice from Xiao Han’s hand.
“Alright, we’re leaving now.” Having said that, Old Li hurriedly led his people away from the scene.
The staff from the tax office immediately withdrew from the scene.
They had just received a phone call, and most importantly, the rectification notice from the tax office had not yet been given to Xiao Han. They tore up the rectification notice on the spot and quickly left. The usually bustling restaurant suddenly became quiet.
“Why did everyone leave?” Yang Lu, who was distributing vouchers at the entrance, rushed in.
“Hehe, what, are they supposed to stay and eat?” Xiao Han replied with a nonchalant smile.
Upon hearing this, a smile crept up the corner of Yang Lu’s mouth as she said, “Don’t tell me you’ve called upon some deity again?”
“If you don’t have some backing in this line of work, sooner or later someone will take you down!” Xiao Han shrugged his shoulders.
“Right!” Yang Lu nodded, “I knew it. It’s a pity my connections are all in Linjiang City and not in the provincial city. So, here, I’m really helpless and feel quite frustrated; otherwise, I wouldn’t have called you.”
“I know!” Xiao Han nodded.
“But this time, the sudden inspection by several departments clearly indicates someone is targeting us!” Yang Lu said through clenched teeth, “I suspect it must be Yujian Restaurant across the street!”
“Hmm!” Xiao Han nodded, “Fang Hao is a senior at Shuimu University. His family has some background. So, it’s very likely him. However, we don’t have evidence right now, so we can’t make wild guesses. After all, you need to catch the thief with the loot, and catch the cheater in the act.”
“I know!” Yang Lu nodded.
Xiao Han walked to the entrance of the restaurant, looking across at Yujian Restaurant.
......
Today, Fang Hao was in Yujian Restaurant, ready to enjoy the drama at Hanmen Restaurant. He had already come to Hanmen Restaurant at noon, wanting to witness the commotion. Sure enough, after school in the afternoon, inspectors from several departments conducted a surprise inspection. A smile crept onto Fang Hao’s face.
