Chapter 288: Selling the Shop
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Seeing that Guo Miao didn’t say anything, Zhang Lu said, “I’m doing this for your own good. It’s not easy for your father to open a shop. If you sell the shop now, you can still recover some of the costs. You’ve offended someone you shouldn’t have. Even if I let you pass the inspection, the higher-ups will still block the process.”
Zhang Lu was just a low-level staff in charge of the inspection. How could she have the right to control the final process?
With Zhang Lu’s words, Guo Miao confirmed her guess.
“Go and get your section chief,” Guo Miao said.
Zhang Lu was furious when she heard Guo Miao’s words. “Why can’t you understand? Since you can’t afford to offend her, then don’t fight her head-on. I’ve already said that she’s someone you can’t afford to offend.”
“I recorded what you said yesterday. If you don’t want me to report this matter to other places, please help me call your person in charge over,” Guo Miao said.
“You child!” Zhang Lu turned around and went upstairs in exasperation. After a while, a middle-aged man came down.
Zhang Lu pointed at the man and said, “This is our section chief, Xu Ming.”
Xu Ming looked to be in his forties. He was wearing a white shirt and his hair was a little bald. He looked extremely greasy.
He looked at Guo Miao and Guo Fu with a hint of disdain in his eyes. “What’s the matter?”
“I want to ask why you used substandard test strips and forged the wrong results,” Guo Miao said.
“Kid, you don’t have any evidence. You can’t frame a government worker like this, right? Come, come over to my office and have a cup of tea. Let’s talk slowly.”
“There’s no need. 1 have a recording here. This lady told me personally yesterday.” Guo Miao reached out and took out the pen.
Xu Ming was stunned for a moment and looked at Zhang Lu fiercely.
“Ah, so it’s like this. This kiddo is usually easily agitated. We’ll send another commissioner over to help check…” Xu Ming chuckled. “But our staff here are usually very busy. If we have to queue up, we will have to wait until next month. After that, we may not send anyone to check.”
Next month?
Guo Fu became nervous. Their restaurant was originally planned to open next month. If they didn’t get the business license next month, the ingredients they had ordered before would go bad.
“Since it’s because of this commissioner’s mistake, can’t you make amends for us?” Guo Fu said.
Guo Miao merely sized Xu Ming up coldly.
Xu Ming was smarter than Zhang Lu, and he knew how to slow down the progress.
“Section Chief Xu, it’s not a matter of when to check. It’s your colleague who forged the results. 1 can report this matter to the Discipline Inspection Committee,” Guo Miao said.
Xu Ming was stunned. He had also encountered such a situation before, but the merchant who was reported did not argue with him. Instead, he swallowed his anger and did not pursue the matter. Even if they reported it to the Discipline Inspection Committee, there would be no results.
Every year, many businesses were sabotaged because they had offended people. A department like the Discipline Inspection Committee would not especially send an investigation team over for them.
This father-daughter pair really wouldn’t shed tears until they saw their own coffins.
“If you’re so aggressive, I won’t send any more commissioners over. Your own business has a problem, and now you want to push the blame on the government staff,” Xu Ming changed his gentle attitude and warned with a frown.
“I can find a more professional person to carry out the test. If the results are different from yours, what will you do?” Guo Miao said.
“Hmph, we use the special test strips from the United States. The appraisal reports from other institutions are useless. 1 think you guys should save your energy.”
“What if 1 call the police?” Guo Miao said.
The police’s appraisal was for the sake of the case. Was Guo Miao going to call the police?
Xu Ming frowned and looked at Guo Miao. “You still want to threaten me by calling the police?”
“This isn’t a threat. I’m just protecting my legitimate rights,” Guo Miao said.
Xu Ming did not believe that this girl would really call the police. He smiled and said, “Then, call the police and see if they will accept the case.”
Just as Xu Ming was feeling smug, a middle-aged man dressed in a smart suit suddenly appeared at the door..
