Now that things had come to this, Tang Jianguo readily agreed and immediately started working. Being caught by the He family starting their own business and being fired by He Wenlin seemed to have no effect on him at all.

Xu Aihua was distracted. She didn't want things to get too ugly between her and her sister, especially since her sister's family was so wealthy. If anything happened in the future, they could ask her for help. If they fell out, her sister would definitely not help her anymore.

Xu Aihua thought that she would let He Wenlin's family calm down tonight, and then go to apologize to them tomorrow when they were a little less angry.

...

The next morning, around 8:00 AM...

The industrial, consumer protection, and tax departments all came to Haitang Food Factory.

Coincidentally, all three units came together.

Even more coincidentally, when they arrived, Xu Aihua and Tang Jianguo were making egg rolls.

Wu Hai and Tang Kai were also loading goods onto their tricycle, preparing to set up a stall.

When the four of them saw that these people had actually arrived, they all froze on the spot.

"Who's the boss here? Please show us your business license. We're from a certain department of commerce, and these are our credentials," said a representative from that department. (To avoid censorship, we'll use "department of commerce," "department of consumer protection," and "department of taxation" below.)

Tang Jianguo quickly took out a cigarette and offered it to him obsequiously...

An official from a certain business department blocked their way, saying sternly, "Don't try that. Please show us your business license."

Xu Aihua was a little scared and said timidly, "Our little workshop is just for kids to set up stalls, do we really need a license for this?"

"You have such big signs hanging at your entrance—'Haitang Food Factory.' Since you're a factory, you must have a license. If you don't have a license, are you trying to evade taxes?" an official from the tax department said. "Tax evasion is a crime punishable by imprisonment!"
