Chapter 2214 - 1708: They Dare to Shut Down Even Brother Qin's Restaurant?

Second update, asking for subscriptions and monthly tickets~~~~...

The relationship between the Six Major Chinese Clans, Qin Fang was somewhat curious about it, but that was all... What he really wanted to know was why these people from the Six Major Families suddenly came to Jiangzhou.

However, from the current situation, the other party's actions are still being carried out in secret, and there is no definite news yet.

So, Qin Fang didn't bother to care about this matter and continued to accompany the four women eating and drinking here, inquiring about the situation in Ninghai from Wen Yi... This little girl is Fang Feixue's head chef and rarely steps out herself. Most of the time, she accompanies Tang Feifei and the others, naturally having first-hand information.

This time she came to Jiangzhou because Tang Feifei and the others happened to go on a trip, and she knew Qin Fang was back, so she specially came over... Even cooking was just a temporary guest appearance.

Overall, during the time Qin Fang was away, everything was proceeding normally, unaffected by him being an absentee boss. Tang Feifei and the others were also studying, gathering to eat and drink during breaks, or going shopping and traveling together, which was quite carefree.

Qin Fang also understood that in his absence, Tang Feifei and the others could only pass the time like this... Inevitably feeling a little guilty about it.

"Master, are you not leaving this time back?"

After Wen Yi finished speaking, she couldn't help but ask expectantly.

"If there's nothing major, I shouldn't be going out again..."

Qin Fang nodded and said. For the moment, he didn't have anything particularly important to do, and the likelihood of staying in the country was high... After all, if he really wanted to do something, waiting until he broke through to the Great Grandmaster Level would give him more confidence.

And as things stand, staying in the country to cultivate and accumulate his power is indeed a very good thing.

"That's great, then I can cook for you every day... I've developed a lot of different special dishes recently, you definitely won't be disappointed!"

Upon hearing Qin Fang say he'd stay, the little girl instantly became excited.

"You little girl..."

Qin Fang affectionately rubbed Wen Yi's little head and smiled.

Knock knock knock knock~~~

Just then, the door of the private room knocked again, causing everyone who was talking to be startled for a moment.

"Chef Wen, there's been a bit of an incident..."

It was the manager who came in again, but this time her face looked rather unpleasant. She glanced around at the people present, and in the end, spoke to Wen Yi sitting next to Qin Fang. After all, out of everyone here, she was only familiar with Wen Yi.

"What happened?"

Wen Yi was a bit taken aback but asked straightforwardly.

"Is it about those people from earlier?"

Instead, Qin Fang waved his hand, took the initiative to ask the manager. After all, he is the owner of Fang Feixue, and even though his identity isn't public, this private restaurant is indeed Qin Fang's property, he can't just ignore it.

"Health, commerce, and fire departments... all sent people saying it's a joint inspection, wanting to shut down our restaurant!"

The manager hesitated for a moment, looked at Wen Yi, but still explained the current situation, "These units, we usually have them sorted out, but this time..."

The restaurant industry is like this, while it's profitable, there are many areas requiring greasing. This private restaurant has already established a good reputation and naturally has some backing, ordinary departments don't dare to cause trouble.

But this time, Qin Fang hit quite a few people, and these spoiled young masters all have significant backgrounds, causing a big fuss, making it hard to bear... Even those people the restaurant has connections with don't dare to take on such a matter lightly.

The restaurant manager probably already called those people, but no one dared to handle it...

"Shut down... hmmm, that's all Chen Lin can do?"

Qin Fang heard this and his face didn't change much. It seemed to be within his expectations, and he couldn't help but mock Chen Lin, who he had dealt with.

"You go handle those people first; they'll leave soon..."

However, he still gave the manager a simple instruction, and at this moment, Chu Yunxuan had already pulled out her phone and was making a call.

"Yes, I'll go right away..."

The manager hesitated for a moment, but seeing Chu Yunxuan making a call, she believed it, agreed, and went out to deal with the officials coming for the inspection.

"I've already called Wu Jian, he'll take care of this..."

In not a long while, Chu Yunxuan hung up the phone, briefly explained, and they all acted as if nothing had happened, continuing to eat, drink and chat...

...

Main hall of the restaurant.

No customers eat here; generally, the guests dine in private rooms, making this area quite spacious in comparison.

However, now, it's crowded with people. Various uniforms have arrived, all showing a business-like demeanor with less-than-pleasant expressions. The restaurant manager, Sister Hong, is busy offering cigarettes and tea while speaking nicely.

Unfortunately, few people are inclined to do her any favors. Many maintain cold expressions, and some are prepared to seal the place off.

"Sister Hong, it's not that I'm being difficult… you know how serious this matter has become today. If we don't seal this place off today, it'll be hard for me to explain to those above!"

Some seem to have a decent relationship with Sister Hong, likely receiving many tributes from the restaurant regularly. So, in this moment, they discreetly pass words to her while others aren't looking.

"Captain Cao, can't you be a bit flexible? You know, I'm just a worker... when trouble arises, the higher-ups will naturally step in to resolve it. Can't you give us a bit more time? If you seal the place now, I'll lose this job!"

Sister Hong clings to one of the Law Enforcement Team leaders there, quietly pleading.

Even though she knows Chu Yunxuan knows quite a few people who could resolve this issue, she isn't sure how long it'll take to handle it… so she works hard to buy time.

As she speaks, she's already handed out seven or eight envelopes... sadly, the results aren't ideal. At best, the recipients stay silent, without any intention to leave.

"Sister Hong, I'm just following orders. Please, don't make it difficult for me…"

Captain Cao smiles bitterly, even pushing away the envelope Sister Hong offers. Meanwhile, someone hangs up the phone, seeming to have received an instruction, and immediately yells to the group, "Why waste so many words? This restaurant fails multiple standards; it must shut down for rectification! Get some folks, seal it!"

With this order, the inspection team becomes much less courteous. Even Captain Cao, who was polite earlier, pushes Sister Hong aside, loudly instructing folks to put seals up. His face-change is faster than flipping pages in a book.

"Wait, wait...!"

Seeing the activity, Sister Hong becomes anxious... the reinforcements called by Chu Yunxuan haven't arrived yet, and she can't hold out any longer.

Screech~~ Screech~~ Screech~~ Bang!

Just then, an extremely urgent braking sound blares at the restaurant entrance, it's very piercing, making everyone frown, and some instinctively cover their ears.

Looking out, they see a row of luxury sports cars blocking the restaurant entrance.

Clap, clap, clap~~

As everyone wonders what's happening, they see groups of people get out of the cars… these sudden arrivals leave everyone stunned.

They have no choice but to stare, as a group approaches the restaurant, all fairly young — about twenty or so — led by a casual, sinister-looking young man.

Just his presence makes the inspection group dare not move recklessly.

"Why is he here? Is he avenging those young masters?"

Seeing the young man, many can't help but let their minds wander.

And the person who issued orders to the inspection group steps out, eagerly heading toward the group of young men, a radiant smile spreading across his face… like he just saw his own father.

"Young Master Wu... why have you come personally? Such a small matter, we can handle it ourselves..."

Before the young man can speak, this bootlicker rushes forward, so eager in his flattery that he's almost bowing to the young man like a dog traitor.

"What's going on? You've come with all these people intending to seal this place?"

Young Master Wu bites on a cigarette, glancing sideways, not even looking at the bootlicker, asking in an indifferent tone. Behind him, more people continue to arrive, all behaving similarly but with significant statuses.

"Yes, yes..."

The bootlicker freezes for a moment, sensing something off, but still nodding.

Smack~~~

But just as he nods, Young Master Wu slaps him… with considerable force, hitting the bootlicker dumbfounded, spinning him in place before he falls to the ground.

Spit, spit~~

He spits out bloody saliva mixed with two teeth...

"What... what's going on?"

The bootlicker is dumbfounded, unable to understand what's happening.

And right then, Young Master Wu's voice rings in his ears, "Guys, hit them… hit them hard! Damn, daring to cause trouble at my Brother Qin's place, you must be sick of living! Even back when Boss Kui was around, he didn't dare say a word to Brother Qin… what kind of thing are you all!" (To be continued.
