Around 9 a.m., Li Xiuyuan received a call from Zhou Yi: "Mayor Li, we've already seen Director Zhang and his wife off in their car."

"Okay, I understand. Don't tell anyone about this. Keep it a secret," Li Xiuyuan instructed. Zhang Yaozong had taken sick leave, telling everyone that he was tired from working in Meilin Village every day and needed to rest for two days.

Zhang Yaozong is so old, it's perfectly normal, and it won't attract anyone's attention.

Otherwise, when Meilin Village was busy, Zhang Yaozong, as the leader of one of the three demolition mobilization teams under Li Xiuyuan, would definitely arouse suspicion if he suddenly took his wife to the provincial capital.

After Li Xiuyuan hung up the phone, Wang Xin from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau came over, and Li Xiuyuan learned about the situation.

This time, there are quite a few agricultural supply stores in the county involved in the production of Jufeng No. 1 seeds. These stores will certainly not be severely punished. Only the illegal workshops that produce Jufeng No. 1 seeds will be dealt with. Yesterday, the county's Public Security Bureau and Industry and Commerce Bureau took action together, and the main person in charge of the illegal workshops has been arrested.

However, according to regulations, these agricultural supply stores must wait until all matters are resolved before proceeding with the processing.

"Mayor Li, quite a few shops have been scammed. Which shop did you hear about it from?" Wang Xin asked Li Xiuyuan after reporting the situation.

"I'm just asking around at Yucai Agricultural Supplies Store in town to see how to handle this. The specific advice will definitely be from the county's Industry and Commerce Bureau. You should handle it however you see fit, and it must be fair and just," Li Xiuyuan said.

Wang Xin immediately understood and readily agreed.

However, after leaving Li Xiuyuan's office, he went to Yucai Agricultural Supplies Store. Half an hour later, Li Xiuyuan received a call from Zhang Yucai, who asked him to come to his home for lunch, saying that he had something to say to Li Xiuyuan.

After Li Xiuyuan arrived home at noon, he heard Zhang Yucai tell him about the outcome of the matter.

In the morning, Director Wang Xin of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau came over, briefly explained the situation, and told Zhang Yucai not to worry, as the business license could not be returned for the time being.

Since it's not just Zhang Yucai's business that's been seized, it wouldn't be appropriate to return it to Zhang Yucai first. However, even though the business license has been seized, the store still has unsold fertilizer and seeds. If these were pre-ordered goods, they can be delivered without any issues.

The phrase "goods that were ordered by others beforehand" is quite eloquent. What does it mean that "goods were ordered by others beforehand" mean? Whether or not these goods were ordered by others beforehand is ultimately up to Zhang Yucai to decide.

As long as it's recognized by the town's industrial and commercial bureau, that's fine.

Having or not having a business license will not affect your business operations.

That's what we call being flexible.

Of course, Wang Xin also subtly inquired about the relationship between Zhang Yucai and Li Xiuyuan. Zhang Yucai did not hide this from him. After Wang Xin learned that Zhang Yucai's daughter-in-law was actually Li Xiuyuan's older sister, he became even more enthusiastic towards Zhang Yucai.

He also left his phone number with Zhang Yucai, telling him that if he had any problems with the industry and commerce department in the town, he could just call him directly. He didn't need to bother Mayor Li, as Mayor Li was already very busy, and he shouldn't cause him any trouble or worry over such a small matter.

Zhang Yucai knew that Director Wang's politeness had nothing to do with him; it was all because of Li Xiuyuan. After Li Xiuyuan came over at noon, he honestly recounted the whole situation.

"Xiuyuan, it doesn't really matter whether we sell those stockpiled fertilizers and seeds or not. The key is not to cause you any trouble," Zhang Yucai said. As long as he didn't go to jail, he didn't care at all about whether there would be a loss.

Li Xiuyuan smiled and said, "It's alright. Since Director Wang said so, you should deliver the goods to them. Spring plowing is a big deal. They've already made arrangements, so we can't let this little thing delay the people's spring plowing."
