Chapter 220 If you don’t know me, you might think I’m studying acting

However, standing outside the door was a strange man in a deep flame blue uniform. The straight duty uniform fit his tall figure meticulously, and the golden logo gleamed in the sun.

He wore a neat duty hat, under the brim of which were a pair of sharp and steady eyes. His work equipment was neatly arranged around his waist, and his shiny leather shoes reflected a professional luster.

Mu Nanyan was slightly startled, then asked politely:

"Hello, what can I do for you?"

The man took out his ID from his breast pocket and said in a deep and powerful voice:

"Hello, I'm Wang Shuo from the Supervision and Law Enforcement Section of the Municipal Fire Brigade. I'm conducting a fire safety inspection of your unit in accordance with the law. Please cooperate."

His tone was businesslike, but his eyes were steady and sharp, as if he was already accustomed to facing various emergencies.

"Please come in." Mu Nanyan stepped aside.

"Thank you for your cooperation."

Wang Shuo nodded slightly, strode into the studio, and quickly scanned the surroundings with his movements neat and professional.

He checked very carefully, from the fire escape to the fire extinguisher configuration, and even confirmed the circuit wiring one by one.

Mu Nanyan thought it was just a routine inspection, but Wang Shuo's expression suddenly became serious after he inspected the area.

"After inspection, your company has not been equipped with indoor fire hydrants as required, which has violated the relevant provisions of the Fire Protection Law and poses a major safety hazard. You are hereby ordered to suspend business and rectify the situation. You may not resume business until the rectification is completed."

His tone was cold and hard, and he had an attitude that would not allow for questioning.

"Close down? We've never been asked to do so before..."

Mu Nanyan looked incredulous. Wang Shuo remained calm and handed over a notice:

"This is the decision to suspend production and business, please sign and confirm."

Mu Nan looked around and found that there was indeed no fire hydrant in their studio, but this had never happened before.

As Wang Shuo spoke, he placed the notice of suspension of production and business in Mu Nanyan's hand and then left.

Mu Nanyan looked at the notice and hadn't reacted yet. How could it come so soon? Why did she feel that this person came prepared?

Just at this moment, someone knocked on the studio door. Mu Nanyan walked over and saw Song Yajun, who had come to the studio to cause trouble yesterday.

She had delicate makeup on her face, a faint sneer on the corner of her lips, and she walked in with an arrogant look on her face, wearing high heels.

"Wow, it's so quiet today? Where did everyone go?"

Song Yajun pretended to be surprised, but a hint of pride flashed in her eyes.

Mu Nanyan understood something instantly, her eyes suddenly turned cold:

"You did it?"

Song Yajun chuckled lightly, without concealing her feelings:

"Yes, I hired someone to do it. If you don't design for my daughter, I will make sure your studio can't continue operating in Haicheng. I think you should know how to choose, right?"

Mu Nanyan stared at her, her chest rising and falling slightly, but she remained calm on the surface: "I won't take your order."

"You! Do you think this is the end? Do you believe I can make sure you're checked every day and can't even open your business for a single day?"

Mu Nanyan really didn't believe it. There was indeed something wrong with their company after today's incident. What excuse could they make later? Could they still accuse her of something?

Mu Nanyan curled her lips coldly: "Please do as you please."

Mu Nanyan was about to ask Song Yajun to leave. Song Yajun obviously didn't expect her to be so tough, and her face suddenly became gloomy.

At this moment, a deep male voice came from the corridor: "What happened?"

The two turned around at the same time and saw Lu Yiran's tall figure standing at the door of the studio. He was wearing a well-ironed suit and his brows exuded an aura of majesty without anger.

He put one hand in his pocket and held a document in the other, his eyes darting back and forth between the two of them.

Song Yajun squinted her eyes and looked at it for a moment, then suddenly a look of realization appeared on her face:

"Mr. Lu?"

She obviously didn't expect to meet the person in charge of the Lu family in the capital here, and there was a hint of surprise in her tone.

Lu Yiran frowned slightly: "Who are you?"

"I am Madam Shangguan."

Song Yajun immediately put on a decent smile, and a few fine lines appeared at the corners of her eyes.

"oh."

Lu Yiran responded coldly, then changed the subject.

"I just heard your conversation. I wonder what's wrong between Madam Shangguan and my wife? Why are you bullying her like this?"

Mu Nanyan and Song Yajun were both surprised when they heard this. Song Yajun looked at the two of them in surprise:

"Mr. Lu is married? Why have I never heard Mr. Lu mention it?"

"Only people close to me know." The implication is that we are not familiar with each other, so there is no need to tell you.

The smile on Song Yajun's face froze. She secretly considered the cooperation project between the two companies. After weighing the pros and cons, she immediately put on an attentive expression:

"Mr. Lu, you're joking. What conflicts could there be between Madam Ling and me? They're just minor misunderstandings."

"Really? But I clearly heard that someone was trying to shut down my wife's studio."

Lu Yiran approached slowly, his leather shoes making crisp sounds on the marble floor. Song Yajun's forehead was covered with sweat, and she forced a smile and said:

"It's just a joke. Don't worry, your wife's business will be smooth sailing."

Lu Yiran stood beside Mu Nanyan, looking down at Song Yajun.

"That's even better. If my wife's company runs into any trouble in the future... I wouldn't mind having a good chat with Chairman Shangguan."

Song Yajun's knuckles turned white as she clutched her handbag. In Haicheng, the Shangguan family was in business, and the Song family was in politics. They had always been the ones to show disdain to others, but now they had to swallow their anger. She could barely maintain the smile on her face.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lu. No one in Haicheng dares to make things difficult for Madam Ling's property."

How could she not understand the meaning of Lu Yiran's words? He wanted her Song family to take good care of Mu Nanyan's company. If anything happened later, he would blame it all on the Shangguan family.

"Then please remember what you said today, Madam Shangguan."

Lu Yiran nodded slightly and made a gesture to see him off. Song Yajun gritted her teeth and turned around, her high heels making a clattering sound.

Even until the elevator door closed, Mu Nanyan could still feel the resentful look she gave her when she left.

As soon as Song Yajun left, Mu Nanyan looked at Lu Yiran and said:

"Mr. Lu is a very good actor. If you don't know me, you might think you studied acting."

Lu Yiran loosened his tie and showed his first genuine smile of the day:

"Shouldn't you thank me? I've solved a lot of troubles for you."

"Thank you, Mr. Lu."

Mu Nanyan turned and walked towards the office, with a hint of reluctance in her tone.

Lu Yiran had indeed helped her just now, so she couldn't just kick him out. She looked at Lu Yiran and said:

"I wonder what Mr. Lu wants to talk to me about today?"

"Did you forget? Didn't you say we had to sign the agreement yesterday? I've already signed it."

Lu Yiran followed naturally and shook the documents in his hand.
