Chapter 783: Chapter 858: You’ll Never Stand Up Again!
But, unexpectedly, at this moment, someone else walked into the barbecue restaurant.
The newcomer was a middle-aged man, dressed in uniform, exuding authority, and carrying himself with a lofty demeanor.
A few people followed behind the middle-aged man. As soon as they entered, they headed straight toward the restroom area, where they saw the situation: especially Fang Yi with one foot on the table, blocking Captain Mao and his team in the restroom, which caused the middle-aged man’s expression to darken instantly.
When Captain Mao and his team saw the middle-aged man, joyful expressions appeared on their faces. Captain Mao hurriedly shouted, “Deputy Director Zhang, we’re here, we’re here!”
As he spoke, Captain Mao waved his hand at the middle-aged man.
Then Captain Mao turned around, looked coldly at Fang Yi, and said, “You’re in trouble now!”
Fang Yi completely ignored him, instead looking at the middle-aged man called Deputy Director Zhang with a gaze free of respect, nor did he show any fear, viewing him with complete candor.
Deputy Director Zhang, whose full name was Zhang Feng, was the deputy director of Tianjing City’s Sanitation Team.
In fact, the Sanitation Team primarily oversees medical institutions, with food hygiene being only a small part, though they do have the authority to inspect the hygiene of Fang Yi’s barbecue restaurant.
To be fair, they have a legitimate reason to inspect this barbecue restaurant.
But they have gone too far, forcing Fang Yi to step in.
Zhang Feng’s expression turned somber as he strode over, glaring coldly at Fang Yi, saying, “Move immediately, or I have the authority to order your barbecue restaurant to close down!”
Fang Yi shook his head, calmly saying, “You don’t.”
Zhang Feng asked, “Are you challenging my limits?”
Fang Yi’s mouth curled into a smile, and he said, “I can roughly guess what your limits are, and I can also guess your motives. Isn’t it just to shut down my barbecue restaurant? You can bring out the person behind you, and I’ll talk to him.”
Zhang Feng snorted coldly and said, “Who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to talk to the people behind me? Today, your barbecue restaurant must close, or you’ll be openly opposing our Sanitation Team…”
At this, Zhang Feng grinned viciously, “If this gets big, I think not just this barbecue restaurant, but several others will have to close too.”
Zhang Feng was well-prepared and wasn’t afraid of escalating the situation. On the contrary, the bigger it got, the better—it suited his purposes.
Simply put, Zhang Feng wants to see Fang Yi oppose him— the more resistance, the better.
The young master from the Song Family had given him only one order: make a big scene!
Zhang Feng grinned viciously, with a mocking smile on his lips, intending to further provoke Fang Yi.
However, Fang Yi remained extremely calm, his expression undisturbed.
“You want my barbecue restaurant to close down…”
Fang Yi suddenly stepped up to Zhang Feng and smiled, “Alright, let’s see if my barbecue restaurant will close.”
Zhang Feng sneered, “We’ll see!”
After finishing, Zhang Feng turned and left.
He wasn’t afraid of a big scene; he was afraid it wouldn’t be big enough.
Captain Mao and his team had their superior show up and deliver threats, so Fang Yi naturally stopped blocking them, allowing them to leave.
“Just wait for your restaurant to close!”
As he left, Captain Mao said this with utter confidence, believing that those who dare to oppose official power never meet a good end.
Ying Zheng and Rong Quan walked over.
“Brother Fang, it’s better to avoid trouble than to seek it. Why don’t we close this barbecue restaurant? There are other barbecue places, after all, ordinary people can’t fight officials,” Ying Zheng advised.
Fang Yi turned his head and suddenly pinched Ying Zheng’s chubby cheek, “Fatty Ying, sometimes you can’t kneel. Once you kneel…”
“You’ll never stand up again.”
