Seeing Ma Weidong's furtive behavior, Li Junsheng understood everything.
This guy hadn't shown up since the restaurant opened, but when he came looking for trouble, he brought people from the Ministry of Health with him.
It's good that this guy came to us himself; let's take care of him all at once!
Otherwise, if he hadn't come and hadn't shown his moves, Li Junsheng would have thought he was a potential threat!
Turning his gaze away, Li Junsheng calmly addressed the Ministry of Health officials who had come to inspect, saying, "Comrades, we will definitely cooperate with the inspection. The restaurant's relevant permits have already been sent to be collected. Please have a seat and wait a moment!"
As luck would have it, after Tang Liang finished preparing the cold dishes for Qin Yong, he went to pick up the red hat for the trial operation registration while there weren't many people in the store. He should be back soon!
At this moment, Li Junsheng could only try to calm these comrades from the Ministry of Health down!
Li Junsheng said that the relevant documents had been sent to be collected, and the people from the Ministry of Health exchanged glances.
How long will it take?
"Soon! Have a cup of tea first."
Li Junsheng has a gentle and easygoing attitude.
Upon hearing this, the officials from the Ministry of Health had no choice but to sit down at the restaurant.
Ma Weidong also sat down with these people in an inconspicuous spot.
Li Junsheng glanced at him and got straight to the point.
"Gentlemen, may I ask who got diarrhea after eating our restaurant's food? Has the person involved arrived yet?"
My restaurant prioritizes hygiene, so how could I possibly get diarrhea from eating there? I don't know if the person who reported me had an upset stomach or if it's just business competition!
When Li Junsheng asked, the head of the health department pointed to Ma Weidong, "This is the person involved."
Li Junsheng glanced at Ma Weidong and sneered inwardly. He had no idea when Ma Weidong had ever eaten at his restaurant!
In front of Li Junsheng, Ma Weidong pretended to be calm and looked at him provocatively.
Li Chunya and Li Guohua exchanged a glance. One of them was in charge of the cash register, and the other was in charge of keeping an eye out for any thugs or hooligans who might appear in the store.
Whether Ma Weidong had ever eaten at the restaurant or not, the two of them knew perfectly well!
Li Guohua quickly pointed at Ma Weidong and said, "Comrade, this man is lying! He has never eaten at our restaurant. He is just slandering us. You must investigate him thoroughly."
Li Chunya also said excitedly, "Comrade, I can confirm that he really didn't come..."
Before Li Chunya could finish speaking, he was interrupted. The health director simply did not listen to Li Chunya and Li Guohua.
"Your restaurant must have a lot of customers every day, how could you possibly remember everyone? We only check the business license. How much longer are we supposed to wait here? Are you just stalling for time because you don't have the license?"
"If you don't have a business license, you have to close the restaurant immediately and you won't be allowed to operate anymore!"
The health director was getting impatient and seemed certain that Li Junsheng couldn't produce a business license.
Seeing that the restaurant was facing closure, Li Guohua and his companions became nervous, each of them frowning, not wanting the restaurant to close down.
The pilot certificate Tang Liang issued is still uncertain; it might not even be valid if these people don't recognize it...
In this critical moment, Li Junsheng remained calm and continued his conversation with the director of the Ministry of Health!
"Comrade, our restaurant has always paid great attention to hygiene, and our ingredients are all healthy. Even if he says he got diarrhea from eating our food, who knows if it's just that he has a sensitive stomach? How can you blindly tell us to close down?"
The director of the health department waved his hand impatiently, completely ignoring Li Junsheng's words!
"You don't want to close the shop, right? It seems you don't have a business license? Then you'll have to accept our department's fine. Specifically, you'll have to pay Mr. Ma 300 yuan for medical expenses, plus a 500 yuan fine, and finally get the business license reinstated. You can only reopen when the business license is reinstated!"
Pay Ma Weidong 300 yuan, plus a fine of 500 yuan, for a total of 800 yuan!
The amount was staggering, but Li Guohua firmly refused, saying, "It's impossible for us to pay his medical expenses. Our restaurant has all the necessary permits, and everything is compliant and legal. Just wait a little longer, and we'll get the permits back soon!"
Li Junsheng was not one to be easily bullied. He questioned Ma Weidong and the director of the Ministry of Health, "What evidence do you have to prove that Ma Weidong got diarrhea after eating food from our restaurant? If you don't have any relevant evidence, we will absolutely not compensate for any medical expenses."
Li Junsheng began to suspect that he had been set up by the people from the Ministry of Health and Ma Weidong. The amount of money involved in the fines and compensation was far too much!
What's the difference between this and extorting money or robbing someone on the street?
So impatient, and won't even listen to what I'm saying!
Ma Weidong couldn't produce the credentials Li Junsheng wanted, and the people from the Ministry of Health ignored him and even put on airs with Li Junsheng.
"We have so many other things to deal with, we don't have time to keep waiting for you to bring your certificates. Now you either close down or pay a fine and compensation, make your own choice!"
Li Junsheng sneered inwardly. What kind of choice was he making?
These people are just too unreasonable.
To give himself two choices so urgently is either to show favoritism towards Ma Weidong or to take the opportunity to impose a fine!
"We have a license to operate a business, why should we be fined? He has no evidence to prove that his diarrhea is definitely due to our restaurant's food. We certainly can't let this innocent victim get away with it! If you ask me, we should just call the police!"
Li Junsheng wanted to call the police, but the Ministry of Health officials wouldn't give him the chance, aggressively saying, "If you refuse to cooperate, we'll take away the store's goods to offset the fine and compensation. Anyway, you can't produce a business license right now, so calling the police won't change anything!"
As the health minister spoke, he immediately ordered people to start moving things.
Li Guohua stopped them from stealing things from the store!
Who does things like this?!
"Are you really from the Ministry of Health? Why do you look like robbers?"
Now even Li Guohua was starting to question the identities of the people in front of him.
Just as the atmosphere was tense, Tang Liang returned from outside.
"Dad, second brother, what's going on? Who are these people?"
