After hanging up the phone, He Wenlin rushed back to Store No. 2 in a hurry.
Second Brother, Peng Liang, and He Shan all looked anxious.
"What exactly happened? Why would they suddenly have to suspend operations for rectification?" He Wenlin asked.
“Many students at the College of Arts and Sciences had diarrhea after eating takeout today. We deliver hundreds of takeout orders to the College of Arts and Sciences every day, so the business administration officials came,” Peng Liang said. “It’s not just here; all the shops near the entrance of the College of Arts and Sciences have also been shut down for rectification.”
He Wenlin: "When the Industry and Commerce Bureau came, didn't you bring them to our store to take a look around?"
Second Brother: "I saw it. The people from the Industry and Commerce Bureau even said that in terms of hygiene and ingredients, our store is the best. But with so many students vomiting and having diarrhea, all the stores are suspects. We can't open for business until the situation is cleared up."
Speaking of this, the second brother was furious: "I don't know which heartless bastard is dragging us down with them. Today is the weekend, and we didn't deliver any food to the college, but we were still ordered to suspend business."
Weekend school holidays are not good news for shops like He Wenlin's that specialize in takeout, because students are all out having fun, so there are not many people ordering takeout.
He Shan was also indignant: "That's right, we use only fresh ingredients and the hygiene is the best, but we still have to close down, which means we lose a lot of money in one day."
He Wenlin: "It would be good if the business just closed down. If the school were closed and no outside food was allowed in, that would be a real problem."
"Why aren't they allowed in? Students can buy from whichever store they want, why should the school interfere?" He Shan expressed her incomprehension.
The second brother and Peng Liang also didn't understand.
Everyone stared at He Wenlin with blank expressions.
He Wenlin explained, "The school also has a cafeteria. Our takeout business infringes on the interests of the school cafeteria. Now that something has happened, the school has a good reason to take action."
The school cafeteria has an inseparable relationship with the school itself. He Wenlin created the voucher, and other businesses followed suit, attracting many students away and seriously affecting the school cafeteria's business.
Faced with this situation, the school cannot remain inactive.
The hygiene and ingredients in He Wenlin's shop are definitely not a problem, so He Wenlin is not afraid of being investigated. Compared to this matter, she is more worried about the school not allowing students to buy food from outside.
"Have any students come to us asking for a refund?" He Wenlin asked.
Peng Liang shook his head: "No, not at all."
"Contact Zhou Yuxin and the others and ask them to inquire more about the situation of the students at the school. Remind them again that our vouchers are non-refundable and non-exchangeable once sold. If any students are concerned about hygiene and food quality, they can come and visit us in person."
He Wenlin is very confident in her kitchen and is not afraid of being inspected.
However, taking this opportunity, He Wenlin repeatedly emphasized hygiene and usual habits to her second brother He Shan and others.
Peng Liang immediately called Zhou Yuxin's dormitory, but it was the weekend and they were both away. They didn't have cell phones either, so He Wenlin could only leave a message and wait for them to contact her.
“Linlin, why don’t you ask your mom’s former boss for help?” He Shan suggested. “Last time when the Industry and Commerce Bureau came to Yihaodian, wasn’t the official who came to inspect a relative of the boss’s wife? If you talk to the boss’s wife and put in a good word for us, we won’t have to shut down. If we really shut down, we will suffer huge losses.”
“I’ll handle this. You just need to worry about the store. I’m worried that someone might come to ask for a refund for the voucher. If someone does come, tell them that once the voucher is sold, it’s non-refundable. That’s written on the voucher. If they’re still worried, let them come to our store to check the hygiene and the ingredients. We’re not afraid of being inspected.”
He Shan, Peng Liang, and the second brother all nodded heavily.
After leaving the second store, He Wenlin used her mobile phone to call Wang Jianjun.
Wang Jianjun is Wang Min's cousin. He Wenlin saw him at the fast food restaurant last time, and then she saw him again when she was applying for a business license at the Industry and Commerce Bureau.
He Wenlin was from out of town and had no connections or acquaintances in the area. So after that incident, she deliberately went to the Wang family to look for Wang Jianjun.
Perhaps because Wang Min knew He Wenlin and had spoken up for her, and because He Wenlin was young, Wang Jianjun was quite polite to her.
The initial politeness was genuine, but the subsequent politeness stemmed from He Wenlin sending a box of milk containing two thousand yuan.
He wasn't in a high position, and he wasn't there to ask for favors.
The reason I gave gifts before was to become acquainted with people so that I could ask for help in the future.
Therefore, the gifts were not generous.
Relationships definitely need to be maintained on a regular basis, so they can be useful in crucial moments.
And here it is, it comes in handy now.
As soon as Wang Jianjun received He Wenlin's call, he immediately said that as long as the students hadn't eaten food from He Wenlin's shop, it wasn't a big deal.
He Wenlin expressed her desire to continue operating the business, as closing down would have a significant impact on it. She also revealed that the two managers who visited the store today were very satisfied with the cleanliness of her shop.
Wang Jianjun did not agree immediately, but said he would go and find out the situation first.
After hanging up the phone, Wang Jianjun immediately contacted the bureau to inquire about the situation, mentioning He Wenlin's Xiangmeizi Fast Food Restaurant.
The two staff members who visited He Wenlin's restaurant today were very impressed by it, because they had never seen a fast food restaurant with such good hygiene.
When Wang Jianjun called specifically to ask about this matter, the bureau naturally assumed that He Wenlin was some kind of relative of his, and immediately revoked the notice of temporary suspension of business for He Wenlin.
The whole thing was resolved in less than an hour.
