Counterflow 92: Ditching the School Flower at the Start and Building a Trillion Empire

In his previous life, Lin Yifeng was tricked by his first love into going abroad, missing the period of rapid development in his homeland.

He finally managed to amass a fortune of hundreds of...

Chapter 53 Picking a Fight? Wallace is not someone you can mess with! (Part 1)

In its previous life, Wallace was jokingly referred to by netizens as the "Jet Burger Shop," where ordering a Wallace meal would transform you into a jetpack warrior.

In his previous life, when Wallace was expanding, he didn't have high requirements for his franchisees, so there were occasional cases of food poisoning.

But in this life, it's almost impossible for Wallace to get an upset stomach.

Wallace's ingredients are sourced directly from Shuanghui.

At present, all of Shuanghui's funds are used to import foreign equipment. Their independently developed "Shuanghui Ham Sausage" has just been launched and has not yet received positive feedback in the market.

Lin Yifeng's contract order, starting at one million yuan, is a timely help for Shuanghui.

It's highly unlikely that Shuanghui would tamper with food safety issues so soon after starting the cooperation, thus contradicting itself.

Wallace's employees were all personally trained by Lin Yifeng, and the kitchen staff all wore sanitary caps, masks, and gloves while working.

It's no exaggeration to say that the fried chicken burgers they make are cleaner than many meals cooked by city dwellers.

As for the issue of food spoiling overnight.

That would be even more impossible.

Wallace determines the amount of ingredients to purchase for the next day based on the day's sales revenue.

Wallace may have leftover ingredients from Shuanghui every day, but if these leftover ingredients cannot be sold, they will be transported to Wallace (Hebei Vocational University Store) that evening and handed over to Xu Qingyi and Xu Wanxia for processing.

The Xu siblings would coordinate and summarize the ingredients and profits to ensure that the cashiers did not embezzle any money.

Secondly, we ensure that Wallace's ingredients are safe and not kept overnight.

Lin Yifeng wouldn't dare say that Wallace would be 100% immune to stomach upset, but he was 99% sure he wouldn't get sick from eating it.

There are only three possibilities for food poisoning.

One reason is their physical condition; they may genuinely be allergic to certain foods.

Secondly, the Xu siblings embezzled funds and failed to dispose of the leftover ingredients from the previous day.

Thirdly... they're deliberately trying to cause trouble.

Lin Yifeng strode to the entrance of Wallace's dilapidated street store. He glanced at the person who was complaining of food poisoning and narrowed his eyes slightly.

This person is here to cause trouble.

The family that came to cause trouble consisted of four people: an elderly woman, a child, and two middle-aged people.

The child squatted on the ground, clutching his stomach, groaning and moaning. Every now and then, he would steal glances at the Wallace employees with his little eyes and continue groaning.

The acting was terrible!

Lin Yifeng labeled the child, then his gaze fell on the old lady.

At first glance, the old lady did indeed look like she had an upset stomach.

She clutched her stomach, looking pained, and groaned softly.

Most importantly, the old lady was pale and had beads of sweat on her forehead.

"They're even resorting to some underworld tactics?"

Lin Yifeng vaguely sensed that this was no ordinary trouble-making situation. He glanced at the bewildered Wallace employees, pushed through the crowd, and walked over.

"What's going on?"

When Lin Yifeng inquired, the Wallace employees, who were at a loss, were overjoyed to see him and quickly explained what had happened.

"How were you trained? If someone gets food poisoning, you should take them to the hospital right away!"

Lin Yifeng scolded, and the employee named Zhou Xiaofeng immediately looked aggrieved: "Boss, it's not that we don't want to go to the hospital, it's that they don't want to go."

"Bullshit!"

Before Lin Yifeng could speak, one of the bald middle-aged men started cursing:

"Bullshit! What do you mean we're not going?"

"Young lady, why do you keep spouting nonsense?"

"You're trying to take us to an shady clinic? How dare we go?"

"Who knows if you're colluding with shady clinics to scam us?"

Tears welled up in Zhou Xiaofeng's eyes as she was scolded. She wanted to argue back, but Wallace had a rule that employees were not allowed to talk back to customers, let alone scold them.

Zhou Xiaofeng didn't want to lose her job, so she could only hold back her tears and look at Lin Yifeng.

"Yeah, what a fucking lousy shop! This place must be run by Sakura, and her goal is to poison us!"

Another middle-aged man was even more malicious, immediately slapping a huge burden on someone that no one could bear.

Lin Yifeng's eyes narrowed slightly. He stared at the family of four for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled:

"Are you aware that there is a crime of defamation and insult under the law?"

"According to Article 246 of the Criminal Law, defaming or insulting others is punishable by up to three years in prison."

"Now you're saying our staff took you to a shady clinic, and you're saying Wallace was born from Sakura and wanted to poison everyone."

Lin Yifeng stepped forward and stared at the two middle-aged men: "If you can't produce any evidence, I don't mind sending you to jail for three years."

Lin Yifeng's words immediately startled the two middle-aged men.

The two middle-aged men involuntarily took a step back. The bald man turned to look at his accomplice, then suddenly pulled a wrench from his pocket, pointed it at Lin Yifeng, and began to curse:

"Who the hell are you trying to scare, you little brat? My mother got food poisoning here, and instead of giving me an explanation, you're going to lock me up?"

"Damn it, isn't this bullying?"

"I'm going to fight you to the death today! You dared to poison my mother, I'll smash your shop to pieces!"

After the bald middle-aged man finished speaking, he picked up a wrench and pretended to smash the shop. Lin Yifeng remained calm, but his roommates who came with him were not so calm.

Zhou Liangang was the first to act. He pushed through the crowd, grabbed the bald man's hand, and glared at him fiercely.

"Damn it, are you looking for trouble?!"

Lin Yifeng wasn't sure if the burly Zhou Liangang was a good fighter.

But he can definitely bluff people.

The bald middle-aged man was stunned for a few seconds after Zhou Liangang pressed his hand down.

Sun Guowei squeezed next to Lin Yifeng, looking him up and down, left and right, and couldn't hide his sourness as soon as he opened his mouth: "How could you possibly be the boss of Wallace?"

The other roommates were obviously shocked as well, as they all knew that Lin Yifeng had spent a considerable amount of time at Wallace.

They thought Lin Yifeng was working at Wallace, so how did he suddenly become the boss of Wallace?

"What nonsense! I'm not a boss, I'm just a store manager, someone who works for others."

Lin Yifeng offered a casual explanation, then looked at the bald, middle-aged man being held down by Zhou Liangang and said softly, "Old Zhou, let him go."

"Your mother has an upset stomach and is in so much pain that she can't stand up."

"Your child too."

Lin Yifeng was more skilled at moral blackmail than anyone else. He looked calmly at the middle-aged man and said, "If you want your mother to die here, if you want your child to die here..."

"Then you can keep messing around with me here."

"Anyway, he's your mother and your child. If you don't let them live, there's nothing I can do."

As Lin Yifeng spoke, he spread his hands and shouted to the crowd of onlookers, "Everyone can testify that I was trying to take them to the hospital, but he refused and insisted on letting his mother and child die here!"
