The tax bureau did come to audit taxes. In the past, the people who audited taxes were mostly older, especially after get off work. They would come over for a few drinks whenever they had nothing to do, and over time, the old ladies became familiar with them.
Whenever they come to audit taxes, the old lady receives a notice in advance, and the auditors are easy to talk to.
This time, it was a group of young people who had just graduated from university. They claimed to be upright and incorruptible, separating public and private matters, law and emotion, with no emotion in the law and no private interests in the public.
During this period, several stores were forced to close for rectification, and they secretly gathered together to exchange information.
I later learned that the new tax officials in Lufeng Town loved to nitpick and act as if they were so fair and just.
In reality, it has already provoked public anger.
Today we can finally enjoy the [Taste].
A dozen or so young tax officials walked into the private restaurant, first checking the hygiene, then the freshness of the various ingredients, and finally the taxes.
The old lady used to be an accountant, and she was the most proactive when it came to taxes, always calculating every single line perfectly.
Other restaurants or businesses might evade taxes by falsifying accounts or delay paying taxes, but the shops managed by the old lady are always the most proactive in paying taxes.
This is why those tax officials with some experience tipped off the old lady in advance, knowing that she wouldn't evade taxes.
As the saying goes, even the most meticulous plans can have a flaw. Sure enough, at the end of this quarter, revenue was slightly higher than last month, which became the starting point for several tax officials to launch an attack.
"Business must cease operations for rectification!"
"Paying taxes according to the prescribed time and system is the duty of every citizen. What you are doing is tax evasion!"
"And what about your ingredients? Where did you get them? There are no receipts or certificates of conformity. How can you serve food without proper certification? What if customers have health problems?"
Then a group of people, some issuing tickets, some recording details, and others taking photos.
The restaurant staff were completely helpless in the face of a group of arrogant, domineering tax officials.
They could only try to delay and wait for the old lady to arrive before making a decision.
After finishing the phone call, Zhao Zhe realized the situation was getting out of hand. Then a thought struck him: "Hey, isn't my brother-in-law a law student? Tax law should be within his area of study, right?"
He dashed off to the kitchen to find Situ Ming.
Situ Ming was thinking about how to go from a part-time dishwasher in the shadows to the old lady's follower in the open.
How could he win over the old lady without being in her presence?
He thought about it all morning, and had almost finished washing the dishes, but he still couldn't get a chance.
Because the old lady only comes here for a short while in the morning, and doesn't come here at other times.
I don't want to get a permanent position so soon, I just want the opportunity to come.
"Brother Ming! Brother Ming! Come quickly, come with me, your chance to show your skills has arrived."
Zhao Zhe was very excited. His five thousand yuan was finally secured. By helping his brother-in-law win over his grandmother, he could win over his sister.
The little boy's eyes were almost red with excitement.
"What's wrong? Is your sister here?"
"Hey Ming, don't focus all your attention on my sister, that timid girl. Seriously, I'm not kidding you. Winning over my grandma is like the enemy army taking over Yumen Pass and conquering the Central Plains—unimpeded!"
Situ Ming looked at his brother-in-law, who was helping him untie his apron, with a speechless expression. What kind of nonsensical analogies were these?
The two walked ahead, where several tax officials were still registering something.
Zhao Zhe briefly explained the situation and then pushed Situ Ming to the front.
Situ Ming lived up to expectations, using his knowledge to leave several self-proclaimed fair and just tax officials speechless.
When he explained the provisions of the criminal law, the tax law, and local regulations on tax payment, how tax officials should audit accounts, and the legal basis for these provisions, the faces of several tax officials turned red and then pale. While he was reciting the legal provisions, their minds hadn't even turned to that page of the book.
There are countless rules and regulations in the law, and very few people can remember them all and apply them effectively.
There was a high stool next to the cashier, and Situ Ming crossed his long legs and sat down.
Putting everything else aside, just the way Situ Ming sits there makes him look like a leader in the bureau. The young people really have no idea who this person who suddenly appeared in front of them is.
Could someone with such a detailed understanding of laws and regulations be part of the undercover investigation team from above?
It was a piece of cake for someone who was inexperienced in the business world.
With just a slight quirk in your words and a subtle display of authority in your body language, who would know who you are?
It must be said that, in many cases, those who truly wield power and are cultured are the ones who are most respectful of others; while those who are neither high nor low in society are often the ones who like to bully others by taking advantage of their power.
"Taxes still need to be paid on time..."
Situ Ming simply hummed in response, dismissing everyone.
When the old lady rushed into the shop, she saw everyone discussing what had just happened. Upon seeing her, they scattered like birds.
"Didn't they say the tax inspectors were coming? Where did they go?"
Before Zhao Zhe could speak, Fatty Er Ya blurted out, "They were all sent away by the handsome brother!"
As she spoke, she chuckled and moved closer to Situ Ming.
Seeing this, Zhao Zhe immediately took a step forward and stood between Situ Ming and Fatty Er Ya.
What a joke! This is his brother-in-law! How could he let anyone else have his way with him?
Every time the tax inspectors come, they never stay long enough to get rid of them, and I always end up paying out several hundred dollars. Why did they leave so quickly today?
"real?"
Fatty Er Ya answered again, "Really!"
Zhao Zhe really wanted to cover Pang Erya's mouth. Didn't she see my brother-in-law's face turn black?
Zhao Zhe chased the troublesome Er Ya to the back kitchen and then vividly recounted the whole story to the old lady.
For the rest of the day, the old lady took Situ Ming with her everywhere she went, so that the child could pay for the meals in one day.
Another reason is... guilt!
She was so ashamed that her own daughter was accepting protection money that she couldn't even face her child.
Zhao Zhe has completely forgotten what he only said halfway through.
During dinner, seeing her grandmother tear off such a big chicken leg for Situ Ming, the whole family thought: Has the old lady taken a fancy to the handsome young man?
Oh, I forgot to mention, after a day of guilt and remorse, the old lady decided to make amends to Xiao Ming.
If they can't even afford a meal, you can imagine how much they'll have to pay for a place to live.
So I invited Xiaoming to stay at my house, since there was a spare room.
Upon hearing that Xiao Ming was going to sell an old house in Mingli Village to raise money, she glared fiercely at Zhao Xiaoyue, who was engrossed in her meal.
That's why we ended up staring at each other at the dinner table.
Zhao Zhe secretly admired him, "Impressive!"
She really won over Grandma!
He could see five thousand dollars beckoning to him.
Zhao Xiaoyue didn't dare look at Situ Ming, and left after finishing her bowl of rice.
Li Guilan and her husband were very hospitable. Zhao's father even wanted to have a couple of drinks with the young man, but the old lady stopped him.
