Chapter 141: Overflowing Happiness (Finale)
Xu Yao answered the phone and a strange voice came: "Hello, is this Xu Yao? I am Wang Zhiming, the director of the town's regulatory bureau. There is one thing I must inform you of. We have received instructions from our superiors to conduct surprise inspections on the catering industry in the town in the near future. You'd better be prepared."
Xu Yao's heart sank suddenly, but she quickly regained her composure.
She tried to speak in a calm tone, "Hello, Director Wang. Thank you very much for your reminder. I will conduct a self-inspection immediately to ensure that all branches meet the hygiene standards. If necessary, please give me more guidance."
Wang Zhiming paused on the other end of the phone, as if he was a little surprised by Xu Yao's calmness: "Okay, Xu Yao, but we have also noticed some recent complaints about your store. I hope you can resolve them as soon as possible."
Xu Yao couldn't help but sneer in her heart. Boss Li and Miss Lin really used every possible means.
She replied softly, "Thank you for your reminder. We will correct it immediately. If there are any problems, please let me know."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Yao immediately stood up, called the store employees, and said, "Everyone, please pay attention. The town's regulatory bureau is going to conduct a surprise inspection on us. We must immediately conduct a self-inspection to ensure that all branches meet the hygiene standards and cannot give them any handle."
The employees immediately got busy; some began to clean the kitchen, some checked the preservation of the ingredients, and others debugged the equipment to ensure that everything was functioning normally.
Xu Yao's eyes were determined as she checked every detail, not missing any possible problem.
Just then, Xue Han called.
After Xu Yao answered the call, Xue Han's voice was filled with concern: "Yaoyao, I just heard that the town's regulatory bureau is going to conduct a surprise inspection of your store. How are you? Have you encountered any difficulties?"
Xu Yao felt warm in her heart, but still said lightly: "Fortunately, I have arranged for my employees to conduct self-inspection. However, it would be even better if you could help me."
Xue Han immediately understood what she meant and said in a deep voice: "No problem, I will contact my comrades immediately. Some of them are professional chefs in the city. They will come to guide you and ensure that there are no problems in all aspects."
Xu Yao's heart was filled with gratitude: "Thank you, Xue Han. I feel much more at ease with you around."
Xue Han smiled and said gently: "Silly, how can I let you face this kind of thing alone? Your business is my business."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Yao returned to the store and saw that the employees were working hard, which made her more determined.
She knew that as long as everyone worked together, nothing was impossible.
Sure enough, several chefs contacted by Xue Han arrived soon. They carefully inspected the hygiene conditions of the branch and put forward some suggestions for improvement.
Xu Yao immediately arranged for employees to make rectifications according to the suggestions to ensure that everything was foolproof.
At the same time, Xue Han also specially arranged several retired soldiers as security personnel. They took turns patrolling inside and outside the branch to ensure that no one would take advantage of the chaos to cause trouble.
When Xu Yao saw all this, the gratitude in her heart could not be expressed in words.
While everyone was busy, Ms. Lin sneaked into the branch's kitchen and attempted to sabotage the equipment.
However, all this was discovered by Aunt Wang.
Aunt Wang immediately called the police, who arrived quickly and arrested Miss Lin on the spot.
Faced with police questioning, Ms. Lin's conspiracy was exposed and she was eventually detained for disturbing public order.
After Xue Han learned about this, he completely cut off contact with Miss Lin. He firmly said to Xu Yao: "My future belongs only to you, and no one and nothing can change this."
A warm feeling surged in Xu Yao's heart. She held Xue Han's hand tightly, tears glistening in her eyes.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and their hearts became closer to each other.
As for Boss Li, his attitude also changed after seeing the huge success of Xu Yao's new product trial operation.
He took the initiative to find Xu Yao and proposed cooperation: "Xu Yao, we are both half of the town's people, why don't we cooperate and jointly promote the development of the town's food culture, what do you think?"
After careful consideration, Xu Yao nodded in agreement.
The two signed a cooperation agreement and decided to share resources and develop together.
This move not only eased the competitive pressure, but also enabled the two stores to form a virtuous interaction and jointly promote the economic development of the town.
As the night deepened, Xu Yao and Xue Han sat on a bench in front of the store, looking at the brightly lit streets, their hearts filled with happiness.
Xu Yao said softly: "Xue Han, with you, I feel that this town has become much warmer."
Xue Han smiled and put his arm around her shoulders, saying gently: "Yaoyao, as long as you are happy, I will be satisfied. From now on, we will protect all this together."
The two smiled at each other, their hearts filled with longing for the future.
Just then, there was a noise in the distance, and it seemed that someone was walking towards here.
Xu Yao stood up curiously and asked, "Xue Han, do you think it will be the townspeople who will come to show their support tomorrow?"
Xue Han smiled without saying anything, just gently held her hand, and both of them showed happy smiles on their faces.
The grand opening day arrived like a firecracker, filled with excitement.
The air was filled with the aroma of sizzling meats and sweet pastries, which sounded like a siren’s call to everyone in town.
This little shop, once just a tiny dream, is now bustling with people like flies on honey.
Red banners with gold lettering fluttered in the breeze, proclaiming auspicious words of prosperity and good fortune.
Children slid between their parents’ legs, their eyes wide with anticipation and their noses twitching at the delicious aroma.
Xu Yao was radiant in a simple yet elegant dress.
She stood at the door and greeted every guest warmly, and this enthusiasm spread like wildfire.
Her genuine and bright smile could melt glaciers.
She remembered the struggles, the anxieties, the sleepless nights—but today, it all melted away like snow in July.
This is her moment, this is their moment.
Beside her, Xue Han stood like a silent pillar of strength.
His eyes, usually reserved and calm, now gleamed with pride and a tenderness that could make one's heart beat faster.
He watched her, the woman who had captured his soul, interact with the crowd with an indescribable grace.
His large, rough hand found hers and squeezed it gently.
This is a silent promise, a quiet declaration of love amidst the noise.
There was a buzz in the air, a mix of anticipation and pure joy.
The clink of cutlery, the murmur of conversation, the occasional burst of laughter – it is the symphony of life and a testament to their hard work and dedication.
Every bite and every sigh of satisfaction is a recognition of their efforts.
This is more than just food, it’s a celebration of resilience and a testament to the power of dreams.
Then, amid the joyful noise, Xue Han cleared his throat, attracting the attention of the crowd.
The bustling store fell silent.
He looked at Xu Yao, their eyes met, and there was a silent communication between them.
He took a deep breath and announced firmly: "We have another good news to announce. Xu Yao and I will get married at the end of the year!"
The air erupted with cheers and applause.
Well-wishers rushed forward to offer them their congratulations and blessings.
Old Mrs. Wang, their neighbor who had always supported them, wiped her eyes with a wrinkled handkerchief and murmured that she had finally waited for this day.
Even their former competitor and now important partner, Boss Li, shook hands with them warmly and sincerely wished them happiness.
The day unfolded like a dream.
Every table was full and every dish was eaten with gusto.
The sweet smell of success mixed with the aroma of their signature dish.
As evening approached, golden light filled the sky, reflecting the warmth in their hearts.
The grand opening was a huge success.
The cash register rang merrily, its bells playing a symphony of prosperity.
Their small shop, once just a seed of hope, has now blossomed into a thriving business.
The final tally showed sales of $12,000—a figure that far exceeded their wildest expectations.
It’s a testament to their dedication, hard work and the unwavering support of the community.
And this is just the beginning.
Xue Han found new purpose after his military career and threw himself into the business, where his sharp mind and strategic thinking played a huge role in managing their expanding chain of stores.
He is the help that keeps her flying, the anchor that keeps her grounded in the storm.
Together they are an unstoppable force, a testament to the power of love and shared dreams.
The final scene unfolds with a profound simplicity.
Xu Yao and Xue Han stood there hand in hand, basking in the warm afterglow of the setting sun, and they exchanged a look full of deep understanding.
It’s a silent promise of a future based on love, resilience, and the sweet taste of success.
