"Stop talking to that little girl. She's got a sharp tongue. Let's catch her together! Once she knows how powerful we are, she'll know how to bow down!"
The members of the inspection team had dark faces and were about to attack Ye Zhaodi.
"Stop! Don't touch her!" Chu Yue turned around and shouted at the two men, sneering and retorting, "It's just a business license. How do you know I don't have it?"
The words fell in a deep voice.
Under the gaze of everyone, Chu Yue walked behind the counter, took out a square object from under the cabinet, and placed it in front of Zhang Guoan.
"Open your eyes and see clearly what this thing is!"
Zhang Guoan just felt that Chu Yue was so arrogant and didn't believe that she could really do it. He squinted his eyes and looked down. After taking another glance, the arrogant expression on his face suddenly cracked.
Overnight, the originally bustling shop became unusually quiet, and you could even hear the sound of things falling.
"Captain, what's wrong?" The other two members of the inspection team saw that something was wrong with Zhang Guoan, so they moved closer to take a look. In an instant, their reactions were exactly the same as Zhang Guoan's.
Chen Fengying and Xia Xiaolan felt a pang in their hearts when they saw the sudden change in atmosphere.
Could it be that the sword Chu Yue took out had such a magical effect?
The two of them approached cautiously, rubbed their eyes and looked carefully, but Chen Fengying came from the countryside and didn't recognize a single word.
She was nervous and anxious, so she pulled Xia Xiaolan aside and asked, "Xiaolan, what's written on this thing? Is it really that powerful?"
Xia Xiaolan didn't understand the twists and turns of running a store and doing business, but she knew how to read, so she simply read out the biggest few characters.
"It says, franchise license..."
It was these few words that could make the inspection team's faces change drastically.
The economic policies of this era were still in the exploratory stage. The South and the North were arguing so fiercely that the economic policies of many places changed every day, one moment this way and the next that, which scared ordinary people away from doing business.
It is quite difficult to get a business license for an ordinary store.
Zhang Guoan was sure of this and thought Chu Yue couldn't produce it, so when he entered the room, he said nothing and didn't understand the situation. He just wanted to arrest people and seize things directly.
They could never have imagined that Chu Yue not only had it, but it was not just an ordinary business license, but a "franchise license."
What does this mean?
To put it bluntly, it means being superior to others.
With this "franchise license", he can do whatever he wants.
Moreover, this thing cannot be done through normal procedures, it requires - someone above you!
So from the moment Chu Yue took out this thing, Zhang Guoan knew that he had hit a wall!
If Chu Yue complained through his superiors, he might lose his position as captain.
Thinking of this, Zhang Guoan's face no longer had the arrogance he had at the beginning, but turned pale and blue, and his legs almost began to tremble. He was so scared.
He has offended my aunt!
Chu Yue didn't bother to look at Zhang Guoan's frightened face. She picked up the framed "Franchise License" and asked in a cold voice.
"Have you seen it clearly? Do you want to verify its authenticity? Do you need me to go with you? Do you want to seize the things in my shop?"
"No...no...female comrade..." Zhang Guoan hurriedly softened his tone and said tremblingly, "Boss! Boss, we were careless just now. I'm really sorry! You said you had this thing, why didn't you take it out earlier? Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a big misunderstanding."
What a misunderstanding!
Chu Yue's planning was meticulous from the beginning, from the moment she asked Pei Hanchuan for an expensive "medical fee" to renting a shop and choosing a date to open the business, she never made a mistake.
If business hadn’t been unusually good today and she hadn’t forgotten to put up the “Franchise License” for a moment, she wouldn’t have had the chance to see all this.
She heard the words "mass reporting" clearly. It seemed like someone was watching her from behind!
Chu Yue picked up her treasure, strode to the door of the store, and spoke to the crowd of onlookers who had not yet dispersed outside the door.
"My fellow villagers, please see clearly that our store is legal and compliant. It is not a black shop or a speculator. You can rest assured that nothing will happen when you buy things from me."
Zhang Guoan hurried over, flattering Chu Yue, and helped to say, "That's right! Folks, it was all misunderstandings just now, and now it's all clear. This store operates in compliance with the law, and it's a serious and conscientious store. You guys come in quickly and buy whatever you need."
Chu Yue looked at Zhang Guoan coldly, "Everyone is afraid of you from the inspection team. With you here, who of my guests would dare to come in?"
The implication is... you can go away.
Zhang Guoan immediately apologized with a smile, "Let's go, we'll go now..."
The three men who had rushed in with such a fierce momentum now walked away in shame like three mice, complaining all the way.
"Captain, are we really just leaving like this? I've seen a lot of stuff in that store, and there must be more in the warehouse. We can definitely make a lot of money!"
"You're making a fool of yourself! Don't you see what she took out? Only the Pei family in the whole city can take it out. Can anyone who can be related to the Pei family be an ordinary person?" Zhang Guoan cursed in frustration.
"No wonder she dared to open a cake shop with Pei's..."
"Damn it, you actually dared to report me blindly, making me embarrassed..."
In front of the store, although the misunderstandings were explained, people were still in panic.
Chu Yue took a handful of fruit candies from the counter and distributed them outside the door. "Fellow villagers, I'm sorry that I scared you just now. Everyone, have some candies to calm down. Now that the inspection team has left, don't worry. Our store is open for business openly and we are not afraid of inspection."
"This is the first time I've seen the inspection team get humiliated. Boss Chu, you're really awesome!"
"Since everything is alright, I'll continue shopping. Are the things I picked out earlier still there?"
"Sister Chu, luckily it was just a false alarm. Come on, let's go in."
In a blink of an eye, the excitement returned.
Chu Yue found the most conspicuous spot in the store, nailed it there, and hung up the "Franchise License".
She dusted her hands, quite satisfied.
Seeing that the alarm was lifted, the two sisters-in-law who were first pulled by Fang Xiuli and hesitating outside the door were now completely relieved and finally walked into the store without any worries.
They were not in a hurry to buy things, but pulled Chen Fengying aside to talk, "Fengying, let me tell you, just now outside..."
He told Chen Fengying everything that had happened before.
Chen Fengying was so angry that she spat loudly and said indignantly, "Bah! I can't believe Xiu Li could do such a thing. She wants to put Sister Chu in jail! I must tell Sister Chu!"
