69: Chapter 69 Layout

Chen Shaoping had his reasons for not sending out the video.

It wasn't the right time yet; he didn't care much for just an assistant.

"But if that's the case, the company's official website and your Qingbo will suffer," Li Qian sighed.

"It's fine. First, turn off the comment function. We are the weaker party, and showing weakness is the most normal reaction."

After Li Qian left, Chen Shaoping looked at the message on his phone, a brilliant smile spreading across his face.

It had to be said.

Luo Yonghao's team was quite efficient; the triple compensation amount had already arrived.

Including the principal, Chen Shaoping received nearly 320,000.

Found money always makes one happy.

Chen Shaoping lit a cigarette, took a few satisfying puffs, and then left the office.

Before long, he arrived at the Four Seasons Spicy Hot Pot Restaurant.

There were no customers in the shop, just two waitresses sitting on stools, engrossed in watching videos.

"Hey! Has your boss arrived yet?" Chen Shaoping startled them from behind.

Both were startled, but relaxed when they saw it was Chen Shaoping.

They even gave Chen Shaoping a roll of their eyes.

"Brother Ping! The boss isn't here yet. It's just the two of us in the whole shop right now."

"At this hour, no customers will come either."

The waitress replied.

"Alright, you immediately call your boss and tell him that someone from the Health Bureau is here to inspect, and he needs to come over quickly."

Chen Shaoping said to one of the long-haired waitresses.

"I wouldn't dare. If he knows I lied to him, the boss will definitely deduct my salary."

"How dare he? He'd be going against me. Go ahead and call; I'll take responsibility if anything happens."

"Then if my salary is deducted, you have to compensate me double."

"Okay, deal."

Chen Shaoping often came to the restaurant to eat and was familiar with many of the waitresses.

While the waitress was calling Han Minde, Chen Shaoping also dialed Tian Jun's number.

"Four Jun, no matter what you're doing, come to San De's shop immediately."

Although Tian Jun, who was in his office, felt displeased, he still found an excuse to slip out.

He knew Chen Shaoping must have an urgent matter for him.

They called at the same time, but unexpectedly, Tian Jun arrived at the shop first.

Han Minde, the boss, hadn't arrived yet.

It seemed the police were more efficient.

"Da Ping. What's the matter? Why did you call me so urgently?" Tian Jun asked.

Chen Shaoping circled Tian Jun, a mischievous smile on his face.

"Not bad, Four Jun, it seems you've been doing well recently."

"Wearing this uniform, your spirit is truly different."

Tian Jun felt uneasy under his gaze and made to leave: "Are you going to tell me or not? If not, I'm really leaving!"

"No, no, no! I'll tell you."

"Are you interested in attending a wedding banquet with me this afternoon at five o'clock?"

Tian Jun's brow furrowed; he had no idea what Chen Shaoping was up to.

However, this didn't stop him from lifting his feet to walk away.

"Alright, you win. When did you become so impatient?"

"I remember when you first started working, you'd never stand if you could sit, and you'd never stay an extra second after work."

Chen Shaoping pulled Tian Jun to the corner of the restaurant and sat down, waving his hand at the approaching waitress to indicate they didn't need service here.

"Four Jun, according to reliable intelligence, I've received a huge piece of news..."

"Bang!"

As soon as Chen Shaoping finished speaking, Tian Jun slammed the table, his eyes burning with fervor.

"Da Ping, is what you're saying true? You're not lying to me?"

"Why would I lie to you for no reason?" Chen Shaoping retorted.

"Alright, I'll go back and report immediately. If you don't hear from me, don't provoke Liu Feng, so as not to alert him."

Chen Shaoping pondered for a moment. Indeed, without police assistance, he couldn't deal with this criminal group alone.

"Okay! But you must clearly explain the seriousness of the matter and ask the higher-ups to send more police force."

"Opportunities are fleeting. If we miss this one, who knows when the next will be."

"Furthermore, you mustn't force your way in, otherwise, you'll be an accomplice to the criminals."

Tian Jun understood the gravity and urgency of the situation. He turned and left, a sentence drifting back from afar.

"Da Ping, just you wait! If I can't handle this properly this time, I'll take off this uniform."

Chen Shaoping heard this and felt Tian Jun was being childish. Even if they missed this opportunity, there would be plenty more like it in the future.

Tian Jun met Han Minde, who had just arrived at the shop, at the entrance.

"Four Jun, when did you get here? Why are you leaving already? And why the serious face?" Han Minde greeted him warmly.

Tian Jun was still deep in thought about how to report and completely ignored Han Minde.

He walked towards his car without looking back, got in, and drove off.

"Who upset him this early in the morning?" Han Minde mumbled.

He walked into the shop, where four waitresses had already arrived for work, and a chef had come to the back kitchen.

However, they hadn't started working yet and were sitting together chatting.

"Xiao Xie, where's the leader from the Health Bureau you mentioned?"

"Boss, I was wrong, I lied to you."

"Then she nudged her lips towards Chen Shaoping's direction, blinking her eyes repeatedly."

Han Minde then realized Chen Shaoping was already sitting in the shop.

He also understood the whole story.

He walked over to Chen Shaoping and complained, "Da Ping, why do you lie so easily now?"

"And you used such a method to call me here. Do you know how worried I was when I received the call?"

"I was just afraid someone was coming to cause trouble."

Chen Shaoping glanced at him.

"What, is your shop's hygiene not up to standard? Are you afraid of the Health Bureau?"

"I'm not afraid of normal inspections, no matter how many there are. I'm just afraid of those who deliberately find fault," Han Minde said helplessly.

"It's good that you're not afraid of inspections. Since that's the case, today I'll act as a leader and inspect your shop's situation."

"Please lead the way, Boss Han."

Chen Shaoping's expression became serious, and he even took out a camera, looking all businesslike.

"Da Ping, what exactly are you trying to do?" Han Minde was puzzled.

"Boss Han, please don't be so familiar; please address me as Director Chen," Chen Shaoping said earnestly.

Han Minde really wanted to laugh. Although Chen Shaoping didn't state his reasons, it definitely wasn't just him messing around.

"This way, Director Chen!"

Forty minutes later, the group returned to the main hall.

"Very good, very good."

"Boss Han, your kitchen and storage room are clean, and garbage is never left overnight. You've done well."

"Vegetables, meat products, cooking oil, ingredients, etc., are all traceable to their source, their process can be traced, and their quality is reliable. This deserves praise."

"However, the surveillance in your back kitchen and public areas is not fully covered, and two cameras are broken and have not been repaired in time. This requires serious criticism."

"Yes, yes, yes! Director Chen is right. I will certainly learn from this lesson and rectify it immediately."

Han Minde cooperated with Chen Shaoping, and after speaking, he glared at him, signaling him to just do it symbolically and not push his luck.

Chen Shaoping, of course, didn't see it and continued to play the official.

"Now I'm issuing you two rectification notices."

First: Immediately arrange for people to replace and add cameras to achieve full, dead-angle-free monitoring of the entire hot pot restaurant. This must be completed before 17:00 today.

Second: The restaurant will be sealed for one day, and you are not allowed to receive guests casually; you can only receive guests I designate."

Hearing this, Han Minde couldn't hold back his anger.

He walked up to Chen Shaoping, wrapped his arms around Chen Shaoping's waist, and slowly tightened his grip.

"Da Ping, let you show off. See how I'll deal with you."

Chen Shaoping's face slowly turned red. He pretended to be profound and suddenly said, "San De, let go. I've brought you a huge wave of traffic; it just depends on whether you can handle it."
