It was already 5:30 pm, which is usually the busiest time in Huanle Street.
However, the entertainment street seemed rather deserted today.
The desertedness doesn't refer to the street itself, but rather to the entrance/exit area, which is the front of the "Qingqing Vegetable Shop".
"Screech!" The bicycle came to a sudden stop, and Song gently pushed it inside.
As soon as she appeared, Song Guoqiang and others surrounded her.
"Qingqing, something bad has happened! Our store has been shut down by the Industry and Commerce Bureau."
They said we were operating illegally and that we needed to obtain a legal business license before we could open for business.
"I just asked them, but their attitude was unclear, and I don't know what's going on." Song Guoqiang looked anxious, with two thin cracks at the corners of his mouth.
Upon hearing this, Song Qingqing remembered that she had also gone to the Industry and Commerce Bureau to handle these matters when she ran a small shop.
However, they refused her on the grounds that she was from a metal shed.
Looking up at the row of iron sheds, I realized that only her shop had been shut down.
This is clearly aimed at her!
Actually, it wasn't just Song Qingqing who thought so; Song Guoqiang also felt the same way. "I think those people are definitely targeting us."
Look at all these metal sheds here, they do sell food, but as soon as they come, they go straight for our shops.
It's obvious they're deliberately targeting us.
"Tell me, where have we offended them?"
"It doesn't necessarily mean we offended them; it could be that we offended someone else." This was Song Qingqing's first time experiencing something like this, but there was no point in saying anything now.
She should go and see if they can properly negotiate this issue.
"Since the store can't open now, everyone should just treat it as a day off."
As for tomorrow, we'll have to wait and see.
"Once I've taken care of things, I'll have Uncle Erniu call you all to work." After arranging the employees' whereabouts, Song Qingqing turned around, hopped on her bicycle, and headed towards the Industry and Commerce Bureau.
Unfortunately, when I arrived at the county's Administration for Industry and Commerce, they were already closed for the day.
"Grandpa, are they going to work tomorrow?" Song Qingqing was dumbfounded and turned to ask the gatekeeper.
"Tomorrow and the day after are the weekend, so we're closed," the gatekeeper replied.
"......"
So, she'll have to waste three more days.
These three days alone cost several thousand yuan!
Thinking of this, Song Qingqing felt a pang of heartache.
"What's the matter that's so urgent?" The old man was probably too lonely, and seeing a young woman like Song Qingqing rushing over, he couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
“My shop was shut down because they said I didn’t have a business license, so I came here to find a solution.”
Song Qingqing answered truthfully, and the old man looked at her strangely after hearing it.
Then, remembering something, he muttered, "A young girl also came in to report something this morning. Could it be her shop?"
But this girl is still a high school student. Can she open a shop and become a self-employed individual?
Upon hearing this, Song Qingqing was taken aback and stepped forward to ask, "Grandpa, do you remember what that girl looked like?"
Upon hearing this, the old man waved his hand and said, "I can't say, it's the rule, otherwise I'll be in big trouble."
"..." Seeing this, Song Qingqing didn't make things difficult for the old man.
Then she started thinking about whether she had offended any young girls recently, and sure enough, this thought led her to a person.
That person was the girl with the double braids; she had offended her last week.
"Grandpa, did that person have double braids and freckles on his face?" Song Qingqing asked again, not expecting an answer from the old man.
She was just observing the old man's reaction. Once she pointed out these characteristics, the old man's expression suddenly revealed an "I knew it" look.
Now, Song Qingqing was certain of her guess.
However, she didn't know who the girl was or where she lived.
Even if we knew, there was nothing we could do to her for the time being.
Feeling depressed, Song Qingqing returned to Happy Street.
However, as soon as she entered the street, someone ran towards her.
Song looked up and saw that it was Qian Youlu.
"Qingqing, you don't need to worry."
Our boss heard about your situation and has already pulled some strings for you.
He asked me to tell you that we can operate normally tomorrow and there's no need to worry about any follow-up issues.
Also, remember to go to his place for tutoring tomorrow.
Song Qingqing's worry turned to joy, her eyes shining as she said, "Really? That's wonderful!"
Then she can continue making money tomorrow.
"Don't underestimate our boss's abilities. I'm not afraid to say something that might make me cringe."
In a small place like Zhongtang County, with just a word from him, whatever you do, he can make sure everything goes smoothly for you.
Unfortunately, Song Qingqing never thought of seeking help from Sikong Xingchen when she encountered problems.
If she brings out Sikong Xingchen, who will bother her?
Song nodded gently; she knew how powerful the Sikong family was.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many women rushing to marry into the Sikong family, even if it meant marrying their illegitimate children.
"Thank you, Uncle Qian."
"Don't be so polite with me, you should get some rest! Remember to go to Shenlong Building tomorrow!"
"good"
At the same time, Song Qingyi was released again at the police station entrance.
However, this matter is more serious than before, so her powerful backer advised her to leave Zhongtang County and go to Huangcheng to study.
She hesitated for a moment, but considering that her legs needed better treatment, she agreed.
Looking up at the gloomy sky, with no one around, Song Qingyi suddenly missed Cheng Lin and Tang Mingcheng very much.
Unfortunately, the former disappeared without a trace, while the latter decisively abandoned her after learning that she had cheated on him.
Therefore, no man is a good one, and none of them are worth her genuine feelings.
After composing himself, Song Qingyi struggled to push his wheelchair home.
But on a deserted path, a masked woman suddenly ran out.
This person seems to have been waiting here for a long time.
Upon spotting Song Qingyi, he immediately grabbed her left hand without hesitation and began to remove the bracelet from her left wrist.
"Help! Robbery! Let me go!" Song Qingyi was furious and struggled with all her might. In the process, she also managed to tear off the other party's face covering.
"It's you!" Song Qingyi was stunned, never expecting that the person who stole her bracelet would be Tu Hongyan.
Even after being discovered, Tu Hongyan remained unfazed, focused solely on completing the tasks her daughter had entrusted to her before her passing.
"You're a cripple, and you still want to take things from me?" With that, she punched Song Qingyi in the chest, and then with a forceful tug, pulled off the silver bracelet that Song Qingyi always wore, along with her skin and blood.
"Ah..." It hurts so much, it hurts so much. Song Qingyi looked at her blood-soaked left hand and stared at Tu Hongyan with a distorted expression.
