Chapter 433 – Full of sealing tapes!

The next day.

Dong Xuebing arrived at the Investment Promotion Agency. He met all the departments’ heads and deputies to motivate and calm them. Although yesterday’s incident had blown up, some people are still unaware of the outcome. Everyone is still angry and speechless with Da Feng County’s actions, and at the same time, impressed with Chief Dong’s ability to get into trouble!

Chief Xiao Dong had created trouble for many Deputy Bureau Chiefs when working at the Public Security. He had also clashed with the Education Department’s Head, Investment Promotion Agency’s Former Chief and the Finance Department. Fine… after creating troubles and clashing with the County’s leaders, he starts to target the neighboring County’s leaders.

However, this time is quite satisfying!

After the meeting, Luo Haiting remained in the office. “Chief, I had just received news that Pang Zhou is suspended for investigations.”

“This is what he deserves.” Dong Xuebing replied emotionlessly. “He had created problems for us behind our backs several times. Who can he blame?”

“That’s right.” Luo Haiting continued. “This guy is not worthy of being a Party Member.”

Dong Xuebing is relieved that Pang Zhou is suspended from his duties.

Only Luo Haiting and Dong Xuebing are in the office. She is wearing a long dress with flowery prints and had changed her hairclip to a butterfly hairclip. She had also worn a pair of white heels instead of her usual black heels. Her dressing changes every day, and she did not wear repeated clothes in a month. Very few people in Yan Tai County will dress up like her every day. When Dong Xuebing saw the stockings she is wearing, he remembered what happened yesterday. She had used her foot to stroke his legs since they sat down to chat. She only stops teasing him when they left, and she pretended like nothing had happened.

Dong Xuebing realized Sister Luo is good at pretending.

Dong Xuebing is afraid she will do the same thing again and quickly ask her to leave. After Luo Haiting left the office, he called Public Security Bureau Deputy Chief Qin Yong.

“Hello, Old Qin? Are you at work?”

“Xuebing? I have just arrived at the Bureau. What is it?”

“There is a teahouse in Hua Mei District, named Nong Cha. It’s almost Labor Day. Do you think the fire department should do an inspection on this teahouse? That teahouse seems to have violated some fire safety protocols.” Although Qin Yong oversees the traffic and patrolling officers, he is the best person Dong Xuebing can look for as he doesn’t know anyone from the fire department.

Qin Yong laughed. “Are you talking about Peng Kenong’s teahouse?”

Dong Xuebing is puzzled. “You also know about it?”

“This incident had blown up. How can I not know about it? Haha… if it is about that teahouse, the higher-ups had given out orders earlier. I think the fire department will be there once it opens for business. The Health Department and Industry Bureau will also be paying them a visit. Don’t worry.”

Dong Xuebing laughed. “They are so fast.”

Qin Yong explained. “Peng Kenong had crossed the line this time and had embarrassed all our Leaders. Do you think nothing will happen to him?”

After hanging up, Dong Xuebing lit a cigarette. He thought he should do something, but who knows, someone else acted faster than him. Even if Xie Huilan and Zhao Xinglong want to let him off, Xiang Daofa, Cao Xupeng, and Secretary Duan will not let him off. He had stood the County up and joined Da Feng County to create trouble here and made Xiang Daofa and other County Leaders scolded by the City Government for no reason. All of them will bear grudges. It might be difficult to deal with Li Feng, but not Peng Kenong.

10 am.

Dong Xuebing went downstairs and is about to drive over to the teahouse to have a look. But driving his Mercedes MPV is too outstanding, and he called Luo Haiting to bring the Camry keys over.

A few minutes later, Luo Haiting and Guo Panwei came down.

Dong Xuebing gave his keys to Sister Luo. “I will leave my car here. Whoever wants to use it, go ahead.”

“Ok. Here are the keys.” Luo Haiting passed the Toyota’s keys to Dong Xuebing and noticed the registration plate. She was stunned. “Eh, you had changed your registration plate?” No one noticed his new registration plate yesterday, as they are more concerned with the Mayor’s visit and the incident.

Guo Panwei is also stunned. Beijing’s registration plate? 9999?!

Dong Xuebing nodded. “I return to Beijing often, and it’s inconvenient to use registration plates from other regions. That’s why I got someone to register a new plate for me.”

Guo Panwei and Luo Haiting know how hard it is to get this number. It might be fine in Hebei Province, but this is a Beijing registration plate. Not everyone can get it.

Luo Haiting continues to look at the registration plate in a daze.

Dong Xuebing announced. “Since you all are here, let go to a place. Panwei, you will drive.”

After a while, a black Camry turns into a long street. Guo Panwei stopped the car by the roadside, and they look at a teahouse diagonally opposite them.

Several cars are parked outside of the teahouse, and some are from the Fire Department, and some are from the Health Department. Someone from the Fire Department is standing outside, pointing at a corner of the building. It seems that part of the building had failed the fire safety requirements. The fire safety regulation states the back door and corridors must be more than 1.4 meters. A chubby man, who seems to be the teahouse’s boss, is smiling and tries to offer that Fire Department Officer cigarettes. But he was ignored. Before they finish talking, the Health Department officers walk over and point out food safety issues. The chubby boss’s face changed, and he did not say a word. Suddenly, the cars from the Industrial Bureau arrived!

It’s a party!

The teahouse is facing endless troubles.

The chubby boss becomes anxious and tried to explain himself loudly.

But the officers from the Fire Department, Industrial Bureau, and the Health Department ignored him and issued tickets to him. After the tickets were issued, the officers chased everyone out of the teahouse. They sealed the main entrance with the Fire Department, Health Department, and Industrial Bureau’s sealing tapes!

The civilians watching the commotion laughed. They had seen businesses getting sealed but had never seen sealing tapes from three departments on a door simultaneously. This teahouse must have offended someone.

Dong Xuebing shook his head. These are the consequences of offending everyone. Luckily he can stop time, or he will really be in trouble after punching Pang Zhou.

“Let’s go.” Since the teahouse was sealed, Dong Xuebing is not interested in staying there any longer.

Guo Panwei took one last glance at the teahouse and drove back to the Agency.

……

The chubby boss is Peng Kenong’s partner and the shareholder of this teahouse.

After his teahouse is sealed, he called Peng Kenong furiously. “The teahouse has been sealed! The Industrial Bureau, Health Department, and Fire Department were here!”

“What?!” Peng Kenong’s face changed. “What’s going on?”

The Chubby boss shouted. “What do you think?! Old Peng! You had got me into this mess! I am not as rich as you and only have this business! All my savings will be gone after paying the fines! You ah… You had decided to invest in Yan Tai County yesterday. Why did you change your mind last minute? Why didn’t you inform me beforehand? You had offended all the Leaders in Yan Tai County!”

“I had not expected this too. Da Feng County’s offer is too attractive…”

“What subsidies did they offer you? A few hundred thousand? A million? Do you know how much is fine!? Do you know how great our losses are?”

Peng Kenong knew his losses had exceeded his gains. He owns a big stake in the teahouse and is furious. “Don’t be anxious, Old Liu. I will think of a solution. What are they trying to do? I can choose where to invest with my money and had not signed any official contracts with them. How can they find trouble with our teahouse?! Who will dare to invest in Yan Tai County in the future?! This is too much!”

The Chubby boss thought to himself. If you had not agreed to invest in the first place, will they treat you this way?! All these problems are created by you! The Chubby Boss is unhappy with Peng Kenong and felt he had created this mess because of his greed for small gains.

Actually, Peng Kenong also did not want things to blow up like this.

Businessmen are profit-driven. Da Feng County had made an irresistible offer, and Peng Kenong thought nothing will happen if he cancels his agreement with Yan Tai County. But Sun Shuli saw his car and stopped him in front of the Investment Promotion Agency, and everything escalated. Moreover, Da Feng County and Yan Tai County are not on good terms, and the hitting incident happened. This resulted in things getting out of hand. He felt he is a victim in this incident as he was dragged into this rivalry between both counties. Even if he had agreed to invest verbally and suddenly changed his mind last minute is not right, but breaking contracts are very common nowadays. Why is Yan Tai County going after his teahouse now?

Da Feng County.

Peng Kenong, who is resting in a hotel, is called Li Feng. “Mayor Li, my business in Yan Tai County is sealed and is slapped with hefty fines. How can they do this?! Isn’t this considered revenge?”

Li Feng frowned. “What business is that?”

“It’s a teahouse. The Industrial Bureau and Fire Department’s officers had come and fined us with an astronomical amount! If they carry on finding trouble with us, we might have to shut down that business!”

“…… are there any issues with your teahouse’s fire safety features?”

“Impossible! They are doing this on purpose!”

Li Feng doesn’t believe those officers will be so daring to seal Peng Kenong’s teahouse and issue him heavy fines if nothing is wrong.

Peng Kenong noticed Li Feng was not speaking and said. “I heard your County will have an investment fair soon. Some of my friends had wanted to invest in Yan Tai County. I will tell them what happen and advise them to attend your County’s investment fair.”

Li Feng is the organizer for this investment fair, and he brightens up after hearing this.
