Inside a shop on a commercial street.
"Old Zhou, can you stop being lazy? Come over here and give me a hand."
Wearing a mask, You Liuhua waved at Zhou Zheng, her eyes showing a look of disgust.
"No, junior Liuhua, you should at least call me senior. You're making me sound like a middle-aged man."
Helpless, Zhou Zheng came over to help Liu Hua hold up a drawing board. Liu Hua was writing and drawing on it without turning her head and talking.
“You look much older than my brother Luo. Why should I call you Old Zhou? Hurry up and get to work. Hold on tight, you're so clumsy.”
Hearing Liu Hua's disdain, Zhou Zheng rolled his eyes. He was nowhere near as old as Chen Luo; they looked to be the same age.
However, this girl kept calling Chen Luo "Brother Luo" and looked at him with affection, so it seemed that she liked him too.
Chen Luo is quite popular with young girls, but unfortunately, President Wen has already won him over; he's not someone these young girls can snatch away.
"Old Yu, work a little harder today. Let everyone get these boards sorted out first. Once this little girl has finalized all the designs, we'll officially begin tomorrow morning."
"Yes, Young Master Zhou." Yu Dongshan instructed his men to quickly cut and process the planks and materials.
As everyone was working enthusiastically, the shop door opened, and a tall man in uniform walked in first, followed by a group of people.
"Market enforcement team, who is in charge of this shop?"
Zhou Zheng narrowed his eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips behind his mask. Liu Feng's next move was swift.
Liu Hua tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "Should we call Brother Luo and ask my sister-in-law Wen Wan for help?"
"no!"
Zhou Zheng refused decisively. If he made that call, not only would he definitely fail the test Chen Luo had given him, but he would also be unable to curry favor with the powerful figure.
Moreover, even Premier Wen's favorability towards the Liu family will drop to zero. At that point, forget about whether the Zhou family can even get on the Wen family's bandwagon. If Premier Wen were to take action against the Zhou family in a fit of anger, then I would have no choice but to take my father and become beggars on the street.
Besides, if he can't even see through Liu Feng's tricks, he might as well go beg for food.
"You should step back and leave things here to me." Zhou Zheng, wearing a mask, walked towards the group of people.
"I am the store manager. May I ask what brings you all here?"
Looking at the leader, Zhou Zheng immediately recalled his information. This person should be a collateral descendant of the Liu family, I think his name is Liu Fang.
"I am Liu Fang from the Catering Approval Section of the District Market Supervision Bureau. According to regulations, restaurants must obtain a business license before they can begin renovations; otherwise, they are not allowed to start renovations!"
Liu Fang looked at Zhou Zheng, who was wearing a mask, with disdain. The young man only had his eyes showing, and he looked very young, so he must be a student.
How dare this brat offend the eldest son of the Liu family? He really doesn't know what death is coming to him.
If your milk tea shop can be successfully opened, what's the point of me being the head of the food and beverage approval department?
"Oh, our approval process is complete, but we received the approval from the city government."
Zhou Zheng brought over a document, which clearly bore the seal of the Municipal Bureau, and the signature on it was unmistakably that of his immediate superior.
Upon seeing the signature, Liu Fang narrowed his eyes, wondering how this kid had managed to get the signature and stamp from the Municipal Bureau. Could he be a rich kid with some connections?
In the catering industry, there are few businesses that can go against the Liu family; those powerful families would never even look at such a small business.
Moreover, Liu Feng also said that the owner of this shop is named Chen Luo, who is just a freshman in college and comes from an ordinary family. He has absolutely no connection with those big families. It seems that I was overthinking it.
"Hmph! This approval form is fake! The Municipal Bureau would never bypass us to approve it for you. Fine, you dare to forge documents!"
"Someone, come here and thoroughly check this shop for any other violations, then seal it off and suspend operations for a month!"
Liu Fang tore the documents in his hand to shreds, gave an order, and several members of the enforcement team stepped forward to begin a perfunctory inspection. During the inspection, they deliberately pushed everyone into a corner.
"Section Chief Liu, this is against the rules. Aren't you afraid I'll report you?"
Zhou Zheng looked at Liu Fang and saw that he showed no fear whatsoever, but instead asked with a smile.
"Feel free to file a complaint. I'm also the head of the complaints department. Do you think anyone will listen to you?"
"Clap clap clap!" Liu Fang clapped lightly: "You really are a section chief with great power. But, shouldn't you check who's behind you?"
"Oh? Kid, you're trying to run away, aren't you? Do you really think these childish tricks will work?"
Liu Fang looked at Zhou Zheng with disdain: "I've already investigated the background of your store. It's just a bunch of college students making a fuss. Do you really expect that kid named Chen Luo to have some kind of powerful background?"
"Oh, that's not necessarily true." Zhou Zheng smiled and waved to Liu Fang's back.
"Team Leader Meng, hello."
Upon hearing this address, Liu Fang turned around abruptly and immediately saw a middle-aged man wearing a black executive jacket with a livid face.
"Section Chief Liu Fang, do you remember me?"
"Meng, Meng, Team Leader Meng Dong, I, I..."
Liu Fang felt his heart trembling. Standing in front of him was the head of the municipal bureau's discipline inspection team, who was in charge of supervision and investigating violations.
"Okay, I remember that. You've been reported for dereliction of duty, abusing your power for personal gain, and disrupting the marketing environment. Come with me."
When Liu Fang heard that he was going to be taken away, he immediately panicked. Over the years, he had done a lot of outrageous things by relying on the Liu family's background. If he was taken away, wouldn't he be going to spend the rest of his life in jail?
"Meng, Team Leader Meng, you must be joking. My uncle Liu Gan has always been very good at teaching me, and I've always been very careful."
Liu Gan is Liu Feng's father. This is using the Liu family to pressure Meng Dong, hoping that Meng Dong will give him face.
"Liu Fang, don't bother, your Liu family can't protect you."
At Meng Dong's command, two young cadres immediately grabbed Liu Fang.
"No! Who did I offend? My uncle couldn't possibly be unable to protect me!"
"You've offended me, so don't even think about it."
Zhou Zheng took off his mask and looked at Liu Fang: "Go back and ask your Liu Feng, and you'll find out."
Upon seeing Zhou Zheng's true appearance, Liu Fang was stunned.
Zhou Zheng! The eldest son of the Zhou family, a leading catering company in Hangzhou!
Why the hell are you wearing a mask?! If I had known it was your store, I wouldn't have dared to come even if you gave me ten lives!
No, this must be Liu Feng's fault.
"Take him away!" Meng Dong gave the order, and Liu Fang was immediately taken out of the shop.
Stepping outside, Liu Fang looked up and saw Liu Feng spying from the second floor. He immediately shouted angrily.
"Liu Feng, you piece of trash! You don't even know who you're supposed to be dealing with! You've ruined me!"
Liu Feng and Tang Xiwei were completely bewildered as they looked down at the furious Liu Fang. What on earth was going on?
...
Room 502, Boxue Building, Teaching Area, Hangzhou University.
"Okay, students, I have something to attend to, so the next class will be held tomorrow. get out of class dismissed now."
The finance professor announced the end of get out of class, and Chen Luo quickly packed his things and ran out of the classroom.
"get out of class ended early, I'd better hurry up and check how the renovation is going, I can't always be a hands-off manager."
