"Tang Liang, you're back just in time!"
"These people claim to be staff from the Municipal Health Department. They received a report that someone got diarrhea after eating food from our restaurant and they're here to check our business license. Show them our license quickly!"
Li Junsheng explained the situation to Tang Liang and gestured for him to show the license to the people from the Ministry of Health.
Seeing the seriousness of the situation, Tang Liang immediately showed the pilot operation license, which he had obtained through connections and which was already stamped and filed, to the director of the Ministry of Health for inspection!
"Look, I just got my business license back. Our restaurant is a pilot project for sole proprietorships, and all the paperwork is in order!"
The director of the health department glanced at Ma Weidong, seemingly surprised that Li Junsheng hadn't lied and had indeed obtained the permit, but hadn't yet retrieved it.
Ma Weidong's eyes widened slightly, surprised that Li Junsheng actually had relevant proof.
No, where did he do it?
Faced with the relevant certificates handed over by Tang Liang, the head of the health department took them to check. Li Junsheng stared at him, feeling that this man also seemed unable to see the intricacies of the permit!
However, the official seal on the license cannot be faked!
The director of the health department coughed lightly, his attitude toward Li Junsheng noticeably softening.
"The business license is fine. Please wait a moment while we discuss the current issues."
As he spoke, the director of the health department called Ma Weidong out alone.
Li Guohua and his group breathed a sigh of relief. Li Junsheng also praised Tang Liang, saying, "Good job, Tang Liang. Luckily you're reliable. You got the license and brought it back in time. Otherwise, our restaurant would have been emptied out by these people today."
Tang Liang chuckled, and Li Xiaoyu smiled and asked Li Junsheng, "Dad, with the official certificate Tang Liang provided, they shouldn't be able to make things difficult for us, right?"
Li Junsheng pondered for a moment, not believing that the people Ma Weidong brought were so easy to deal with.
The people who came today were really suspicious. Just in case, Li Junsheng beckoned to Tang Liang and whispered something to him as he came closer.
"Dad, you've thought of everything perfectly. I'll get on it right away."
Taking advantage of Ma Weidong and his group's inattention, Tang Liang quietly left the restaurant.
Li Guohua couldn't help but ask, "Dad, what did you call Tang Liang for?"
Li Junsheng shook his head, not saying much to Li Guohua, and also signaling to him with his eyes not to ask any more questions!
Just then, the director of the health department walked in and returned the license to Li Junsheng.
He said coldly, "The business license is fine, so you don't need to face a fine. Although your restaurant can operate, you need to cooperate with us to inspect the hygiene of the premises first."
"You should close your store for rectification now, and reopen after we have completed our inspection. If you insist on opening, it will be treated as a failure to meet hygiene standards!"
Should we close the store first?
This is the peak season for business. If the store were to close for several days, all the customers would leave.
Li Chunya frowned, feeling a little flustered. This shop can't be closed!
Li Junsheng remained calm and gestured for the director of the Ministry of Health to proceed.
“Our kitchen is right here. You can inspect the restaurant's hygiene right now. There's no need to close the restaurant and wait for your inspection, is there?”
Upon hearing this, the inspectors from the Ministry of Health fell into an eerie silence.
The same health department director said to Li Junsheng, "Inspecting hygiene isn't something you can determine just by looking. We do prepare before we inspect. If we can't inspect today, close the shop immediately and wait for us!"
He paused, glanced at Ma Weidong, and continued coldly to Li Junsheng, "If you don't close the restaurant for rectification, you'll have to pay a fine first, because someone got food poisoning at your restaurant."
In the end, the problem comes back to Ma Weidong.
Li Junsheng simply looked at him and directly questioned, "Which dish did you eat at our restaurant that caused your diarrhea? What other dishes did you order?"
"I……"
Ma Weidong's eyes darted around, trying to find a menu or something similar in the restaurant, but he couldn't find it at all.
He's just making baseless accusations against Li Junsheng; how could he possibly know exactly what dishes were ordered?
Seeing that he couldn't answer his question, Li Junsheng sneered, "If you can prove that you got food poisoning at our restaurant and not somewhere else, then we can cover your medical expenses."
"Three or five hundred is nothing. As long as you can provide evidence, I'll give you the money. Do you have any evidence?"
How could Ma Weidong possibly have any evidence? He desperately wanted the five hundred yuan, so he simply started arguing with Li Junsheng.
"I think you just don't want to pay compensation, that's why you keep asking me for evidence. I ate at your place and got diarrhea as soon as I got home, what evidence do you need?"
"You think I'm going to deny it? Then let's just call the police and ask them to help with the investigation. You can also tell me what day you came to eat and whether there were any other eyewitnesses in the restaurant at the time."
Seeing that Li Junsheng was about to call the police again, the director of the health department quickly said, "The police don't care about this kind of thing. He just came here to eat this morning and got diarrhea. Who would bother to extort money from you for no reason? Just pay up and that's it."
The director seemed reluctant to let Li Junsheng call the police, seeing that Li Junsheng was serious and even a little nervous, which compromised his impartiality!
Regardless of whether Ma Weidong actually got food poisoning from Li Junsheng's food, he just wanted Li Junsheng to pay him back.
"He ate breakfast this morning and then had diarrhea, and even went to the hospital? But his complexion doesn't look abnormal at all. It's fair and rosy. Who has diarrhea and still talks so loudly about money?"
Li Junsheng's sharp gaze swept across the faces of Ma Weidong and the director of the Ministry of Health.
Realizing he had said the wrong thing, the health minister's expression momentarily crumbled!
"We don't have time to waste here!"
The director of the health department suddenly became angry. He turned to Ma Weidong and said, "If you want them to pay you compensation, then be prepared before you come! At least produce all the evidence, otherwise no one can stand up for you, understand?"
Ma Weidong was taken aback, clearly not expecting the Director of Health to say that.
Before Ma Weidong could say anything, the director of the health department prepared to leave with his men!
"Alright, let's go back and prepare. We'll have someone come over to inspect the hygiene of your restaurant later. Just wait."
As the director of the health department turned to leave, Li Junsheng quickly stepped forward and blocked their way.
Seeing this, Li Guohua quickly followed his father and blocked the doorway.
Although I don't understand what my father is trying to do, it's definitely the right thing to do to stand on his side at this time!
"Don't rush off. You've finished investigating me, now it's my turn to investigate you, isn't it?"
