The stall owner suddenly spoke loudly, his eyes red-rimmed, clearly extremely angry.

Huo Qizhen's face instantly turned cold. "What did you find out?"

The group of people were stunned by the man's aura and didn't dare to utter a sound, remaining silent for a moment.

A bolder stall owner stepped forward and said, "They couldn't find anything out, so they smashed things."

“That’s right, we can testify!”

"Ayan set hygiene standards long ago, we can't possibly knowingly violate them..."

Once someone does it, another one follows, and more and more people jump out, soon making the person who smashed things lose face.

They didn't even see the boss; instead, they were tricked.

"Since we haven't found anything, I won't keep you all for dinner."

"However, we're all small businesses, so we have to compensate for the broken things, right?" Boss Huo said with a smile, but there was no smile in his eyes.

The leader shook his head, "That's not how it works. We just bumped into it by accident, and it's too early to say we can't find anything."

He gave a wink to the two people next to him, and they immediately split up and took action.

The people who gathered around looked at them with suspicion.

Boss Huo narrowed his eyes. These people were obviously here to cause trouble, weren't they?

Sunlight streamed down, and a stifling heat kept seeping in from outside.

The cicadas' howling only made people more irritable.

"What are you all doing here? Aren't you going to do business?" Lin Ziyan walked in from outside and saw the man in uniform, a hint of suspicion in her eyes.

Health inspection?

"Ayan, they smashed things without finding anything out," the stall owner said, straightening his back as if he had found a pillar of support.

"You all disperse first, the customers will be here soon, don't let it affect today's business," Lin Ziyan reassured them.

The crowd dispersed, leaving only the leader and Boss Huo and his group.

The chubby girl hurriedly helped the stall owner clean up the broken glass tank.

The group walked out of the market.

Lin Ziyan glanced at the person in charge and said with a faint smile, "Are there any procedures we haven't completed?"

She already knew in her heart that this person was there to cause trouble, but she would have to deal with him eventually, so she couldn't afford to offend him too much.

"Just a routine check," the man said casually.

Soon after, all the people who went for the check-up came out, shaking their heads in unison.

Finding nothing is highly unusual.

“We will compensate for the broken glass pool,” the leader said coldly.

Lin Ziyan smiled and shook her head, "That won't be necessary. I hope your people will be... gentler next time."

The men all looked grim, and after agreeing, they left.

Fatty: "Ayan, why don't we make them pay?"

Boss Huo chuckled from the side, "You want them to come every day?"

The chubby girl quickly shook her head. Of course, she didn't want to be on edge all the time. What if they couldn't find out today?

She realized what she meant and instantly understood.

This surprise inspection also served as a reminder that the administrators still need to conduct unscheduled checks every day to see if the stall owners are keeping the area clean as required.

"Brother Jian, you've made a note of this. From now on, the team leader on duty every morning will check the hygiene."

"I'll also take some money from the reserve fund to compensate the stall owner from earlier," Lin Ziyan said calmly.

Compared to their nervousness, Lin Ziyan was much calmer.

These kinds of checks will definitely be frequent in the future, so you should get used to them as soon as possible.

There's a reason she set so many hygiene standards; this incident should serve as a reminder to the stall owners.

After they all went to the office, Boss Huo said, "Are you very familiar with their hygiene inspection standards?"

"My shop can hardly escape their inspections."

Lin Ziyan shook her head, "I was just following laboratory standards..."

Mr. Huo was speechless. If they really followed the laboratory standards, those people would come several times and still leave empty-handed.

However, he thought Lin Ziyan was joking and didn't take it seriously.

However, Lin Ziyan did refer to laboratory standards, but lowered some of the requirements.

…

On the other side

The government office building in Fukushima City,

When Chen Niaoshu received the call from the Health Department of Fuxian County, her expression changed instantly.

She was surprised that no hygiene problems were found at all.

The person Xiao Qi borrowed was utterly useless!

Chen Niaoshu cursed inwardly, but didn't show it on her face.

Yesterday, she checked the port's departure records and found that Lin Ziyan had boarded the cargo ship S with Lu Qiuying.

She couldn't understand how someone who had just studied ship design could be more suitable for testing a ship than her.

Why didn't they ask her to join the first test ship?

Her fingertips dug into her palms; jealousy had driven her mad, which was why she contacted Xiao Qi to have someone set up that new seafood market.

"Engineer Chen, we are very satisfied with the design drawings, but isn't Maiwei's price a bit too unreasonable?" Director Luo frowned, clearly dissatisfied with their quote.

They're not even famous designers, why are they charging such high prices? Do they think they're fools?

If Chen Niaoshu hadn't been a member of the Chen family, Director Luo would have already started cursing.

“We use the most advanced parts available now, and custom-made parts are inherently more expensive,” Chen Niaoshu explained impatiently.

She already said that custom-made items are more expensive, so why is she bringing it up again now?

Director Luo smiled faintly and said, "Engineer Chen, you're also Chinese, can't you mention this to the company?"

Chen Niaoshu said, "I'm sorry, this is the lowest price I could get."

If Lu Qiuying were here, she would have used her bargaining power, but since she's not here, there's no need for her to pretend anymore.

The secretary, Miko, tugged at her sleeve, trying to remind her.

But Chen Niaoshu completely ignored it.

After signing the contract, Chen Niaoshu left without saying a word of politeness.

Miko followed along, her face looking very unwell.

“Miss Chen, could you please ask before you make decisions on your own next time?” Miko questioned.

She is a foreigner, and naturally straightforward; she will not back down on matters of principle.

They had agreed to negotiate the price before they came, but Chen Niaoshu changed her mind at the last minute, and the deal almost fell through.

"Should I greet you?" Chen Niaoshu snorted coldly.

At first she was very happy that the company had assigned her a secretary, but later she realized that this was just to have someone supervise her.

Miko's expression was serious. "That's right. Have you thought about the consequences of changing your mind on your own? If the deal falls through, how will you explain it to headquarters?"

Chen Niaoshu laughed in exasperation, "Miko, I'm your boss, you shouldn't question my decisions."

"If the company sent you to supervise me, then you just need to do your job well."

The two parted on bad terms.

Chen Niaoshu was unaware that her performance in the conference room today had reached Beijing.

Grandpa Chen didn't believe it, but after receiving the cargo ship quote, his eyes widened.

Even with family backing them up, it's obvious to anyone with eyes to see that this price is inflated and problematic.

"Tell Shushu to return to Beijing immediately!" Old Master Chen was clearly furious.

He immediately called his son.

The people in Fushi signed the contract out of respect for them.

If this matter is exploited by someone with ulterior motives, the Chen family will be in deep trouble.

During sensitive periods, all factors affecting economic development will be eliminated...
