When Song Lili arrived at the hot pot restaurant, the employees were already there and preparing to open the door.
"Boss, you're here?" Qiao Lin saw Song Lili arrive and quickly came over to greet her. Others who saw Song Lili also greeted her.
Song Lili responded to each question, then took Qiao Lin to her office, smiling at his nervous expression.
"Don't worry, things should be resolved today, and it should be fine by the afternoon."
It's been three days since the incident. Although there has been some impact, it's still within a limited range. Business should gradually pick up this afternoon.
"Really? That's great! It's good that the matter is resolved." Qiao Lin's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this, and he relaxed completely. His shoulders were no longer tense, and he looked much more relaxed.
"Boss, you don't know how worried I've been for days. Everyone else is worried too, afraid that there won't be any business today."
"I don't feel it when I'm busy, but now that I'm suddenly free, I feel like something's wrong, and I feel really uncomfortable."
"Everyone says it's better to be busy, and some people even joke that they are destined to be busy and can't enjoy life."
Qiao Lin seemed like a completely different person. She chattered incessantly in front of Song Lili.
Song Lili listened with a smile, knowing he had been cooped up for the past two days; he was naturally a very outgoing person.
I've had something weighing on my mind these past few days, so I haven't had the energy to be glib. Now that things are resolved, things will naturally go back to normal.
"Okay, tell everyone to work hard, and I'll give them red envelopes at the end of the year," Song Lili promised, in a good mood.
The store gives employees bonuses every year, but Song Lili is very satisfied with everyone's performance this year, so the year-end bonuses should be a bit thicker.
"Thank you so much, boss! I thank you on behalf of everyone," Qiao Lin said happily, believing that everyone would be happy to hear this news.
"Go to work." Song Lili told Qiao Lin to leave, then sat alone in the office, waiting.
She didn't know what she was waiting for; she was just sitting there, not doing any work.
"Boss, another inspection team has arrived." After some time, Qiao Lin pushed open the door and said with a worried expression.
Didn't the boss say the matter was resolved? Why are there still people coming to inspect?
"Here we go again?" Song Lili was also surprised. Given Brother Qian's speed and efficiency, this shouldn't have happened!
However, the message came up: "The person is already outside, and this time they specifically asked to see you." Qiao Lin said helplessly.
These people are really something else. They come up with something new every day, and it's getting more and more outrageous. I have no idea what they want.
You've come for three days in a row, and each time you can't find a problem. Aren't you ashamed? How can you still come in with such a self-righteous attitude?
"They want to see me? Perfect, I'll go check it out. Let's go." Song Lili raised an eyebrow. These people are starting to play tricks now?
Then she went out and met them.
"Get your boss out here." Song Lili had just stepped out when she heard someone say in a very aggressive tone.
"I'm the boss. How can I help you?" Song Lili walked over and stood in front of the man, asking.
"We received a report. You must cooperate with the inspection, or we will shut down your shop." The person who came looked at Song Lili with an air of superiority in their eyes.
Song Lili looked at him intently, taking in everything in his eyes, then smiled. "Close the shop? I'd like to know the reason."
Song Lili was truly furious. These people had been causing trouble for the past two days, and she had asked her employees to cooperate. Unexpectedly, some of them stood up for themselves.
"Reason? Someone reported you, so you have to cooperate." The man glared at Song Lili, very dissatisfied that she dared to contradict him.
"Very well, I hope you'll still say that next." Song Lili smiled, but deep in her eyes was a surging anger. This time, she wouldn't do nothing.
"Qiao Lin, you should take these comrades and give them a thorough check-up. Explain things to them properly. Otherwise, it's been three days and we still haven't gotten a clear picture. It might become our responsibility."
Song Lili's sarcastic words made some people in the group blush and avoid meeting her gaze.
Which of them didn't know about this? They went to check the store for three consecutive days, but they just couldn't find a problem.
The people inside were very friendly and cooperative throughout the entire process. They did exactly what the staff said and never held anything back, leaving the staff nowhere to complain.
Each time they returned empty-handed, but orders came from above, and they had no choice but to come again.
Some of the more upright people felt utterly ashamed, so when Song Lili mocked them, they could only lower their heads and pretend to be dead.
They didn't want it to be like this, but what could they do? They were just lowly employees, and could only follow orders from above.
Even if they knew that Song Lili was being targeted by some people who wanted to get rid of her, there was nothing they could do!
Ignoring the person whose face had turned ashen with anger, Song Lili turned and went back to her office, immediately dialing Qian Liulin's number.
“Hello…” Qian Liulin’s gentle voice came through the receiver.
"Brother Qian, it's me." Song Lili pursed her lips, unsure of what to say next. Should she ask? Should she directly ask Qian Liulin if the matter had been resolved? That didn't seem like a good idea, did it?
While she was still struggling with her decision, Qian Liulin had already said, "Lili? Why are you calling me at this time?"
"Since you called, I'll let you know that I've taken care of things, and those people won't be coming to your shop anymore," Qian Liulin said with a smile.
He resolved the issue, so he was relatively pleased, at least enough to allow Song Lili's shop to continue operating normally.
"Resolved?" Song Lili was surprised. She couldn't help but glance at the door. What... what was going on with those people just now?
"Brother Qian, when did you handle this?" Song Lili thought for a moment and asked again. Perhaps she had just finished handling it, so the other side hadn't received the news yet?
"Last night, after I talked to you on the phone last night, I called Qian Weide and told him to stop. What happened?"
Song Lili's series of questions made Qian Liulin seem to notice something was amiss. Why was Lili suddenly asking so many questions?
Song Lili knew that something must have gone wrong, so she said directly, "There are people in my shop inspecting right now. They said they received a report."
"Right now?" Qian Liulin's face darkened, realizing that something was wrong.
However, his first reaction was that Qian Weide was actually two-faced, saying one thing to his face and another behind his back.
Last night he clearly promised to stop immediately, but today he went and caused trouble for Song Lili again.
Qian Liulin was furious, feeling utterly humiliated in front of Song Lili. What had he just said? That the matter was resolved? What happened now?
