School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert-Chapter 576 - 578: Director Tang

"This is officialdom, this is the game." The deputy director took a sip of water and then smiled, saying, "Old Zuo, I can’t be blamed for this one, it’s your own bad luck. Always rushing forward."

Captain Zuo was extremely annoyed.

After leaving the director’s office, he pondered for a long time but couldn’t figure out what had gone wrong. He was aware that the situation seemed quite troublesome. However, remembering the director’s explosive temper, he had no choice but to hurry along with his team to Hanmen Restaurant.

......

Hanmen Restaurant.

Li Fangrui was very worried. It was already past four in the afternoon, and customers had been coming and going in waves. Watching potential earnings slip through her fingers, her heart was torn and saddened.

"Manager Li, are we still working today?" an employee asked.

"Don’t rush." Li Fangrui responded, "The higher-ups are still resolving the issue."

"Oh!" Everyone nodded.

The employees laughed then said, "It looks like it won’t be resolved today, might as well take a day off."

Working for others, naturally, they hoped to have days off and still get paid. But Li Fangrui was different; she worried about problems at Hanmen Restaurant. She had finally found a stage to showcase her talents and feared a premature end would leave her with a psychological shadow.

"How could such a matter be resolved so quickly?" The staff did not consider the future of Hanmen Restaurant at all. For them, whether the restaurant closed or not seemed to have nothing to do with them.

"It will be resolved soon!" Li Fangrui said hastily.

"Really?" The crowd clearly didn’t quite understand.

At this moment, the employees smiled and then said, "Well, we hope the company can resolve it as soon as possible. That way, we can get back to work."

Although their words belied their true feelings, Li Fangrui found comfort in hearing them.

Just as they sat in the restaurant, at a loss, the firefighters arrived in a hurry.

"They’re here, the firefighters are here." An employee squatting at the door smoking rushed in frantically.

"Really?" Li Fangrui was startled, wondering if the other party had come to cause trouble again.

Just as she prepared to greet them, Captain Zuo had already arrived with his team, looking hurried and said awkwardly, "I’m terribly sorry, I have to revoke yesterday’s rectification notice. I apologize for the inconvenience caused to you all!"

"Ah!" Li Fangrui was taken aback.

It wasn’t just Li Fangrui; the rest of the restaurant staff were also stunned. Just yesterday they had been arrogant and haughty, and now they were wagging their tails at them like a submissive dog. This truly surprised everyone.

"Oh yes, the rectification notice has been revoked," said Captain Zuo with a smile. "You all... you can reopen for business now. I’m sorry for any losses this has caused you. But, if you need help with anything in the future, just let me know!"

After he spoke, Captain Zuo and his team hurriedly left the scene.

Watching Captain Zuo leave, they were all extremely astonished.

"What... what’s going on?" The server was dumbfounded.

The few administrative staff in the restaurant were also bewildered: "What’s actually going on here? Orders changing overnight, what kind of person does that!"

The group complained together. But only Li Fangrui’s face showed a trace of joy, and she took a deep breath, then shouted, "Everyone, brace yourselves, immediately return to your workstations, get ready for the work ahead!"

"Yes!" The crowd nodded in agreement.

Hanmen Restaurant reopened, ready to welcome the ensuing customers.

The reopening of Hanmen Restaurant did not suffer a drop in popularity due to its previous ordeal, on the contrary, it gained sympathy from many people due to the incident, and a large number of people flocked there to dine. In no time, Hanmen Restaurant’s popularity surged.

......

Qin Corporation.

Qin Jun was working in his office. Qin Jun is a very handsome man, especially when he is working, he is more charming. He has a beautiful female secretary who is quite enchanting. This female secretary has followed Qin Jun for many years and is extremely loyal to him. She has deep feelings for Qin Jun, but despite her affections, the feeling was not reciprocated by him, who continued to see her only as a work partner.

Nothing more.

The female secretary stood by, watching Qin Jun work. To her, the sight of him working was the most attractive, and even after many years, she never tired of it. Her job was to help Qin Jun with paperwork and miscellaneous tasks, including scheduling his daily routine.

At that moment, a phone call came through.

After answering the phone, the secretary’s expression changed slightly and she said, "Why can’t you handle such a small matter without making President Qin step in?"

"Yes!" the other party nodded and said, "Someone from Hanmen Restaurant has stepped in, it’s Secretary Liu from the Municipal Committee. Please inform President Qin!"

"Alright, I know." The female secretary nodded.

After hanging up the phone, Qin Jun was not interrupted by the sound of her voice. On the contrary, he was still working seriously and diligently. The female secretary did not want to interrupt his work, but the situation was indeed quite serious, and she had no choice but to do so.

After thinking for a moment, the female secretary immediately took out her own mobile phone and dialed a number in it.

The number was of someone she knew, a staff member of the Municipal Committee, reportedly the director of the Municipal Committee Office.

"Yo, is that Secretary Yang?" The person on the other end answered with great enthusiasm.

"Director Tang." Secretary Yang gave a faint smile and asked, "Why is Secretary Liu so concerned about Hanmen Restaurant?"

"Ah?" Director Tang was taken aback. Clearly, he wasn’t very aware of the matter, but since Secretary Yang rarely called him, he decided to pretend he knew and laughed, "Well, I can’t tell you that!"

"Why not?" Secretary Yang frowned and then said, "Could it be that Secretary Liu holds shares in Hanmen Restaurant?"

The scale of Hanmen Restaurant was quite large. If Secretary Liu was secretly holding shares, or the restaurant was related to his family members, that would make sense. However, if that were the case, Qin Jun might be kicking against the pricks.

Capable as Qin Jun was, he wasn’t in a position to contend with a top leader of the Municipal Committee.

"I really can’t tell you!" Director Tang laughed.

"Then what do you want?" Secretary Yang frowned.

"Unless..." Director Tang chuckled slyly and said, "Unless Secretary Yang is willing to honor me with a meal together, then I could... I could let you in on it secretly!"

"You!" Secretary Yang nearly choked with anger. Inside, she cursed, ’This old lecher.’

Director Tang was a typical lecher who had long lusted after Secretary Yang. Every time he saw her, he was like a hungry wolf facing a lamb, wishing he could devour her, bones and all. Therefore, Secretary Yang was very averse to Director Tang and would never have called him if it wasn’t absolutely necessary.

"How about it?" Director Tang asked.

"I..." Secretary Yang frowned and then said, "It doesn’t matter, say it or don’t."

"Hey, don’t be like that." Director Tang laughed, "It’s just a meal, what’s the big deal?"

"Is it truly just a meal?" Secretary Yang was slightly skeptical. If it was just a meal, what was the harm? As a secretary, she inevitably had to socialize at times. Besides, it was a perfectly normal and appropriate thing to do.

"Yes!" Director Tang assured her adamantly, "It is absolutely just a meal."

"Then fine!" Secretary Yang nodded and said, "Let’s have dinner tonight."

"Good, good, good!" Director Tang said three ’goods’ in a row.

After hanging up, Secretary Yang looked towards Qin Jun. From her angle, Qin Jun indeed looked very handsome; it is often said that a man immersed in his work is the most attractive. Seeing Qin Jun working so earnestly every day, affection could grow over time.

Secretary Yang looked at Qin Jun and muttered to herself, "President Qin, I must handle this matter personally for you this time. I must take it upon myself to relieve your worries and solve your problems."

Having said that, Secretary Yang immediately bowed her head and busied herself with her own work.

The business at Hanmen Restaurant was booming that evening. Qin Jun probably never expected that Hanmen Restaurant had reopened. And his own secretary had kept this from him.

After work.

Secretary Yang drove to the agreed-upon restaurant.

This restaurant on West Ring Road was a themed restaurant with a very nice, unique decor. It was difficult to imagine that Director Tang, a man in his forties, could have such taste. If it had been Qin Jun inviting her here, Secretary Yang would have been overjoyed. Unfortunately, her company for the evening was only a slovenly uncle in his forties with a receding hairline. Therefore, Secretary Yang had difficulty in mustering up enthusiasm, only hoping to get some information out of Director Tang.

"Secretary Yang!" At that moment, Director Tang came out from inside and said, "You’ve come at just the right time, I haven’t been here long."

"Really?" Secretary Yang chuckled politely and replied, "I thought I was very late!"

"It’s fine to be late. It’s rush hour after leaving work, and traffic jams are normal," Director Tang said with a slight smile.

Secretary Yang gave a cold laugh, "Yeah."

The two entered a private room with a soft piano melody playing, smooth and unique. Had it been Qin Jun, Secretary Yang’s mood might be entirely different. As it was, she had to face someone she greatly disliked, and she couldn’t get into the right spirit.

"What would you like to eat?" Director Tang asked eagerly.

"Anything," Secretary Yang said with a smile, placing her bag to one side.

Director Tang looked at Secretary Yang with a smiling face, his eyes seemingly harboring an ambiguous smirk.

Secretary Yang was indeed very pretty, tall and leggy, standing at 1.7 meters with longer legs that, in heels, nearly reached 1.76 meters. Her legs were long and shapely, showing none of the frailty often ascribed to beauty, but rather an alluring voluptuousness. Secretary Yang had a great figure, proportionate, with a full chest that was quite captivating. She had a beautiful face with long, phoenix-shaped eyes, and a tall stature; looking down from her height gave her a cool elegance and a stand-out presence.
