Chapter 779: Chapter 854: I’m Not in a Hurry Either!
This cold, indifferent voice carried an undeniable authority that startled Captain Mao and his team for a moment. Immediately, they all turned to the source of the voice, seeing a man walking towards them, casually carrying a table.
Captain Mao and the others didn’t recognize Fang Yi, but the aura of authority he exuded made them take him seriously.
Especially Captain Mao, who as a minor director of the Sanitation Team, had been appointed as the leader to inspect hygiene at the barbecue restaurant, wielding a certain level of power.
Upon hearing his superior’s instructions, Captain Mao was immediately aware of the situation. He would lead his team to various barbecue restaurants every few days under the guise of hygiene inspections, with ulterior motives, to nitpick and find faults to fulfill the task.
Captain Mao figured the higher-ups wanted to siphon some benefits again. Well-acquainted with such schemes, Captain Mao was a seasoned pro, and he frequently caused considerable trouble for the barbecue restaurants.
Although Captain Mao wasn’t considered much of an official in Tianjing, nonetheless, he had the identity of a small leader appointed by the higher-ups. As the saying goes, a local petty official is more influential than a distant high authority, and Captain Mao relied on the backing of the Sanitation Team to create quite a stir, getting benefits in the process.
Even Ying Zheng and Rong Quan couldn’t just deal with him temporarily, which emboldened Captain Mao further.
What Captain Mao didn’t expect was this unexpectedly brazen guy, daring to confront him head-on!
Perhaps because he hadn’t faced any obstacles lately, Captain Mao had become somewhat complacent and overconfident.
So when Captain Mao saw the man suddenly carrying a table towards him, he said displeasedly, “Do you know we’re government officials conducting business here? Are you daring to cause trouble? Mr. Ying, Mr. Rong, you’re obstructing official duties!”
Ying Zheng and Rong Quan didn’t take it seriously at all, as Fang Yi was handling the situation and they were merely following instructions. They couldn’t care less.
Meanwhile, Fang Yi, without a word, carried the table to the restroom entrance and placed it there, completely blocking anyone from getting in or out.
“Brother Fang, we’re still inside!” Ying Zheng shouted, wide-eyed.
“You can chat with these officials inside and ask them if the hygiene standards of the restroom are up to par,” Fang Yi said calmly.
Ying Zheng was speechless. They had said they wouldn’t mess with them, yet here they were, being messed with so shamelessly.
The main issue was that they were just inside the restroom. It wasn’t particularly smelly, but it was uncomfortable.
While Ying Zheng and his team felt uneasy, it was even more unsettling for Captain Mao and the sanitation inspection crew.
“You, you’re obstructing official duties. We can sue you for this!” one man said.
Fang Yi lifted his right foot to rest on the table, smiling nonchalantly. If he dared to do this, he wasn’t afraid of being sued. Fang Yi’s gaze remained fixed on Captain Mao.
Fang Yi’s smile, which was barely a smile, made Captain Mao’s skin crawl, and he began to feel goosebumps all over, extremely uncomfortable.
Finally unable to bear it, Captain Mao pointed at Fang Yi and shouted angrily, “What exactly do you want to do?!”
Fang Yi looked at him, replying with a non sequitur, “No worries, if you’re not in a hurry, neither am I.”
After that, Fang Yi took out a pack of cigarettes and lit one up.
From start to finish, Fang Yi remained calm and composed, but the pressure this exerted on Captain Mao and his team was immense.
