Xiaoqi, accompanied by a man in a suit, inspected the kitchen, public spaces, fire safety, ventilation, and other facilities.
The man in the suit remained silent, his brow furrowed.
Everything at the Microworld Inn was perfectly compliant. Chen Yang had completed all the necessary permits in the six months it took to renovate, and everything from fire safety to construction materials was compliant. Minor issues were resolved after Wang Bing arrived and during the trial operation. As for the remaining minor hygiene issues, they existed in every area and were within acceptable limits. He couldn't bring himself to write a report about such a problem.
"Unqualified, all of them are unqualified."
The man in the suit said that in the current situation, it's impossible to find fault with any particular aspect; the only option is to deny everything.
"What's wrong?" Chen Yang said coldly.
Su Li said, "Don't you have ears? It's not just one thing that's wrong, everything is wrong. Your inn is substandard and can't be opened!"
"Please specify the problem, otherwise we will not accept it," Wang Bing said.
The man in the suit slammed his hand on the table and said, "All the facilities and hygiene do not meet the standards. I will report this today, and you will be temporarily closed. In addition, your pricing standards also need to be reviewed."
"We all checked in voluntarily, the prices were clearly marked, and we did not violate any rules."
"I said you broke the rules, so you broke the rules. Stop talking nonsense!"
"You say we've broken the rules, so we've broken the rules? Are you sure?"
Xiao Qi suddenly asked.
The man in the suit snorted coldly and did not answer. These kinds of things should be resolved quickly. It would be best to close the inn directly. The longer it was delayed, the more likely something would go wrong.
"Which department are you from, and what's your name?" Chen Yang asked.
The man in the suit has not revealed his name since he entered the room.
The man in the suit said, "You don't need to know. Just know that I'm from the relevant department. You'll receive a notice to suspend operations soon, so try to close down."
"Is this the relevant department? Sir, our inn is always under surveillance. Are you sure you want to do this?"
The man in the suit smiled and said, "Someone will be here soon, and we will take over your inn's surveillance system."
Since the man in the suit dared to come, he must have been prepared.
Besides, so what if he's on camera? The surveillance system doesn't have an audio recording device. He's just here to make a show of things; you can't just shut the inn down with a document.
Everything is done through legal and compliant channels; however, he has the final say on whether someone is qualified to operate a business.
How many people are watching now?
Chen Yang suddenly said.
The man in the suit and Su Li were taken aback. "What do you mean?"
Xiaoqi made an OK sign and said, "Don't worry, I paid for my account. The live streaming platform promoted it to the homepage, and there were 3,000 viewers, 400 shares, and more than 40,000 clicks. I also saved the live stream records, so I'm not afraid of deleting them."
live streaming?
The man in the suit was stunned, his face turning extremely ugly. Had everything just now been broadcast live?
"Impossible! None of you had a cell phone or camera with you just now!" he shouted angrily.
Xiaoqi shook her head. "Uncle, people like you have already been eliminated by society. Here, take this as a souvenir. There are video recordings inside. You can watch them at home. Anyway, I've made a backup."
She took a corsage off her clothes and threw it to the man in the suit. The man looked at it and realized that the stamen of the corsage was actually a camera.
Xiaoqi used the same tactic when dealing with that hunting ground in Northeast China, and eventually succeeded in closing it down.
"Keep it safe, it's very valuable, and it even has Bluetooth."
The man in the suit was now completely panicked. If the broadcast went live, his actions would be exposed to the public.
This matter is neither a big deal nor a small one.
If only his superiors know, it doesn't matter; he'll just get a few scoldings at most.
However, if the reaction is too great, in order to explain to the public, he will not only have to resign, but his entire political career will be over.
His eyes immediately turned red. "You guys need to retract it right now! Delete the source file! Hurry up!"
"If I don't delete it, what can you do to me?" Chen Yang sat on the sofa, looking relaxed and at ease.
"I told you to close the inn..." the man in the suit slammed his hand on the table, his voice rising in anger, but he stopped mid-sentence. Under these circumstances, how could the Microverse Inn possibly close?
He's just a person with a little power; once he steps outside his sphere of authority, he's no different from an ordinary person.
"You must be lying to me, just trying to scare me," he suddenly said, becoming more and more certain as he spoke. Like a drowning person grasping at a straw in a raging torrent.
Xiaoqi directly showed him the video on her phone screen, which showed him checking around.
The last straw broke, and he slumped onto the sofa in despair.
I carefully climbed to this point, and even refused to reveal my name when I arrived here, but I still failed.
It's just a small inn, yet it's left him feeling so helpless. All he can do now is pray that the impact won't be too great.
I'm definitely not going to keep this position now. I just hope I can stay in the system so I still have a chance to get promoted.
“We can delete the original video, which will invalidate the forwarded video. The remaining few downloads shouldn’t have any impact,” Chen Yang suddenly said.
Su Li and the man in the suit both looked at him incredulously.
In Su Li's memory, Chen Yang was not such a soft-hearted person. Although he usually looked gentle, he was actually very decisive in his actions.
"What are your conditions?" the man in the suit quickly calmed down and asked.
Su Li felt a chill run down his spine. If Chen Yang had the man in the suit target them, he would definitely be in big trouble. The man in the suit had some dirt on their company, including bank transfer records.
"Damn it, I should have insisted on transferring the money to him through a private account. He's too cautious and refuses to accept transfers through private accounts."
Su Li cursed inwardly.
"It's very simple, I only need you to answer one question."
"A question?" the man in the suit asked, somewhat puzzled. Could a single question really make the other party delete the video? He didn't believe he possessed such an important secret.
The reason Su Li approached him was simply because he happened to be in charge of this area and also happened to know Uncle Su Li.
Chen Yang smiled at Su Li, which gave Su Li a bad feeling.
"I'm only asking you what your opinion of Su Li is. Tell me the truth, I want your most honest thoughts, no less than 50 words. If I don't think it's honest, I won't delete the video."
This condition surprised everyone, including Su Li.
What's the point of this question?
The man in the suit glanced at Su Li, carefully recalling his own and Su Li's opinions and evaluations. Suddenly, he looked at Chen Yang with some surprise, a hesitant expression on his face.
"Remember, tell the truth." Chen Yang looked at him with a half-smile.
Looking at the man in the suit's expression, Su Li carefully considered Chen Yang's question, and a gloom gradually crept onto his face.
He recalled what Chen Yang had said to him during his last visit, and also the gradual cooling of his uncle's attitude and occasional shaking of his head after his several business failures.
His fists clenched involuntarily, his eyes turned terrifying, and he glared fiercely at the man in the suit, causing the man's eyes to flicker.
"Remember, I won't interfere with you or give you any hints. Tell me your true thoughts. Otherwise, the video won't be deleted, and I might even pay people to share it. Think carefully about the consequences."
To Su Li and the man in the suit, Chen Yang's voice sounded as if it came from hell.
The others then understood what Chen Yang's question meant, and they couldn't help but shudder.
This is really...too toxic!
