Chapter 2441 - 1543: Far Too Rude~_2
It’s already late at night, around eight or nine o’clock. Which urban management team is so dedicated? Plus, they wouldn’t enforce the law in plain clothes.
"Hmm, but bro, there are too many people in Captain Cheng’s group. The small table won’t fit, but we need to wait for the big table, and there are already guests waiting ahead..."
"I’ll go and chat with Captain Cheng."
Then he said to Jiang Chen and the others, "You guys drink up, I’ll be right back."
Fu Zili watched him leave, smiled a complex smile.
"Junzi has become like this because life pushed him. I remember back in the day, he didn’t care how much money someone had, where their parents worked; he’d grab a brick and go to town."
"That’s because of the Juvenile Protection Act."
Jiang Chen smirked.
Qing Gege’s comments are always so incisive.
"Yes, we all must thank the country, thank the law."
Fu Zili beamed with a smile, handing over two bottles of beer.
He said he’d be right back, but a few minutes passed, and Tie Jun was still negotiating with those people.
Captain Cheng’s face was displeased; even though you couldn’t hear what was being said or call it a dispute, one could tell their communication wasn’t going well.
"I’ll go take a look."
Fu Zili took a napkin, wiped his mouth.
"Tie Jun can handle it himself."
"I know he can handle it, but it’s troublesome."
Fu Zili laughed carefree.
"On my way."
Then he stood up and walked leisurely towards the cashier desk.
"Captain Cheng, I’m really sorry. Before you came, you should have given a call."
"Boss Tie, no need for so many words. I brought friends, didn’t I come to support you and your business? So you do what you see fit."
Captain Cheng frowned, his tone was very assertive.
Don’t underestimate he’s just a captain.
As the saying goes, King Yan is easy to provoke, the little demons are troublesome.
The smaller the figure, the more they know how to maximize their little bit of power.
"Thank you so much, Captain Cheng, for the support, but there simply isn’t a spot at the moment..."
"No spot? Then find a way!"
Captain Cheng’s face grew even more unpleasant, "Boss Tie, I don’t want to repeat myself. My friends haven’t had dinner yet."
"There’s another barbecue shop nearby. To avoid delay, Captain Cheng could go to the shop next door."
Fu Zili approached with a bitter smile to himself.
Junzi has changed so much, no longer as reckless as before, but his fundamental character hasn’t changed.
His bones are truly hard.
Can’t lower his head.
With such sturdy bones, how did his foot get injured?
"Do you know what you’re saying?"
Captain Cheng’s patience had reached its limit.
A store owner dares not to give face to the urban management captain. Isn’t this defying the heavens?
If word gets out, how will he maintain his reputation?
Moreover.
There are so many eyes watching behind!
If he leaves today, it would be a disgrace to the uniform he’s not wearing!
Right.
He wasn’t in uniform now.
Oh.
Is that why the other party dares to challenge him?
Running a little shop, do they really think they’re something?
"Do you think your business is too good now?"
Captain Cheng’s rage turned into a sneering laugh, his gaze sharp, very penetrating. His patience ran out, openly making threats.
"I’m telling you, if you don’t arrange a spot for us soon, there will be no place for your Junzi Barbecue Shop in Sha City."
It’s really something.
It’s not an empty threat.
Farmers, workers, and merchants.
As a law enforcement department, the urban management’s jurisdiction naturally covers a street-facing shop like Junzi Barbecue Shop. Moreover, being a captain, Captain Cheng’s network surely isn’t limited to his own department; perhaps the friends behind him are working in market regulation, fire department, or drug regulation.
These officials might not help a merchant grow their business, but they have a thousand ways to make things difficult.
The choice is simple.
Drive away a table of guests to make room for these gentlemen.
At worst, those guests won’t come back, the loss is negligible, but offending a group of officials with power, the consequences are endless.
As a merchant, the importance is clear.
Tie Jun breathed slowly and then said, "Captain Cheng, why don’t you wait a while? I’ll think of a way..."
"I’ve waited long enough!"
Seeing the other party finally understand reality, Captain Cheng grew more arrogant, "I want it now, immediately!"
Just out of the detention center, Fu Zili originally intended to be kind and discuss peacefully, but life never goes as one wishes.
Captain Cheng’s attitude was simply disgusting.
"Why are you shouting here? Do you understand the order of arrival?"
Captain Cheng was arrogant, Fu Zili was even more outrageous, his overwhelming aura shook Captain Cheng and his group.
"Who are you?"
"Who I am doesn’t matter, I know who you are."
Fu Zili changed his mind, giving Tie Jun a reassuring look, disdainfully ridiculing Captain Cheng for treating merchants like pawns to manipulate.
"The urban management bureau, right?"
"Just because you’re urban management doesn’t mean you can eat without waiting, have the privilege to let merchants provide convenience for you privately?"
Disdainful gaze wasn’t enough, Fu Zili brazenly raised his hand, pointing at the other’s nose.
"The country and people haven’t granted you such power!"
Deafening.
A large group, likely different from ordinary people, went silent.
Especially Captain Cheng, whose face went pale and then green, lips trembling, obviously enraged but unable to find words to rebut.
Think of which line this comes from.
Who said it, and to whom.
Compared to those mighty figures, what is he?
Fang Qing saw the commotion over there.
Even though Fu Zili was fully assertive, he deliberately didn’t interfere with Tie Jun’s business. His voice wasn’t loud, otherwise, if Fang Qing, the legal expert, heard those words, she would surely agree and nod.
"How about I go over?"
Jiang Chen carried on nonchalantly, enjoying his skewers, "Small cities have small city rules."
He placed a skewer into Fang Qing’s plate, "High protein, good for women’s nutrition."
"Good, very good."
Captain Cheng, unable to say anything, stopped trying to win through words. After all, he’s an enforcer; why should he argue with common folk?
His specialty wasn’t his mouth.
With a menacing nod to Fu Zili and Tie Jun, he turned to lead his group away.
It won’t take long.
Just one night.
By tomorrow, he’ll make these ignorant people understand what television means, what reality means.
Whether or not the country and people have given him such power!
"Stop!"
Fu Zili smirked, "Your chief is still Luo the Big Ear, right?"
Captain Cheng abruptly halted, turned back with shock and suspicion.
Luo the Big Ear, naturally a nickname.
But it is indeed their chief’s nickname.
"You know our..."
"Played cards a few times. Tell him I’ve been released, and we should play again sometime."
Captain Cheng’s face changed dramatically, about to leave but suddenly rooted in place, his lips quivered, seemingly wanting to say something, but no sound came out.
Fu Zili waved his hand, "Next time you come, remember to make a reservation in advance."
In a short time, Captain Cheng seemed to have performed a silent Sichuan opera face-changing act. He said nothing, finally squeezing out a smile uglier than crying, nodded, then shamefully led his people away.
"With monthly revenue hitting hundreds of thousands, don’t waste too much energy on small fry; you should worship at reliable ports."
"Haven’t had the chance yet."
Fu Zili clasped his arm, "Don’t worry, after you finish your wedding, I’ll set it up, first a few card games."
"Can I win money?"
"Winning their money is okay. Winning mine, no."
Fu Zili let go, "Let’s go back and sit. Luckily I stepped in first, otherwise if Fang Qing stepped in, they’d all be in big trouble, even their bosses would suffer undeserved disasters."
Tie Jun nodded in agreement.
"Yes, they didn’t even thank you before leaving, that’s so rude."
Fu Zili chuckled indifferently, watching the couple casually enjoying skewers.
"Let’s go back for drinks."
