The Billionaire's Hidden Affection-Chapter 609 - 606: Are you breaking up with me? 1_1

She immediately called Zhu Fangting into her office and shut the door.

After detailed questioning, she learned that Yang Wei had already come with his men two or three times. They had conducted various checks on things as varied as public safety, sanitation, and fire safety. In other words, he had interfered in matters entirely unrelated to his role as captain of the City Management Brigade.

Following that, there was even a tax inspection. Many businesspeople know that dealing with the tax bureau is one of the most troublesome matters in the world. Otherwise, working for the tax bureau wouldn’t be such a sought-after position. Fortunately, since the store opened, everything had been run strictly by the book. Even though the tax bureau had visited twice, they found nothing amiss. Consequently, they hadn’t deliberately made things difficult, as the official procedures had been properly followed.

But this situation wasn’t sustainable. Zhu Fangting confessed, feeling a bit uneasy, "They come up with so many excuses, like supposed health violations, questions about product quality, and even issues with social security payments... One of our new staff members only started three days ago, so naturally, her social security hadn’t been processed yet. Yang Wei used this as an excuse to warn us and threatened a fine. Luckily, the girl herself stepped up and explained she had just started and hadn’t yet submitted her ID and educational documents. Otherwise, I really wouldn’t have known how to handle it..."

That scumbag. Is he trying to make an issue out of everything, from work-related injuries to social security contributions?

Fear not theft, but a thief’s constant attention.

"I’ve told Xiaoya about this," Zhu Fangting continued, "and she suggested some ways to handle it. She was worried about disturbing your studies, so she told us not to bother you. But, Xixi, what are we supposed to do if this continues long-term? Should we... try to smooth things over?"

Give Yang Wei a sweetener? To stop him from causing trouble?

If it were anyone else, that might work. In this world, if you want smooth sailing, you often have to play the game and manage relationships.

But with someone like Yang Wei, he’s like a tiger with a gaping maw; you could never satiate his appetite. Besides, after that beating he took, this is clearly about revenge.

Yan Xixi said coolly, "Ignore him."

Zhu Fangting, thinking Yan Xixi was scared or perhaps hadn’t grasped the severity of the situation, felt compelled to elaborate, "Xixi, you might not realize this, but when Yang Wei comes with his men, they often stay for half a day. If a few city management officials just stand around here, we can’t do any business for that entire time. They’ve already scared customers away."

Yan Xixi checked the surveillance footage. It was indeed as Zhu Fangting described.

Moreover, Yang Wei had grown cunning. He knew about the surveillance cameras inside, so he never acted ostentatiously. He always had plausible excuses and even spoke with bureaucratic formality, maintaining a perfect facade of due process. The surveillance footage showed no misconduct on his part. Furthermore, he always stood at the doorway or simply didn’t enter the premises at all.

Yan Xixi still appeared unconcerned. "Don’t worry," she said. "Just carry on with your work as usual. If anything happens, let me know."

She left the office and immediately headed for the luxury goods store in the city center.

It was the weekend, and the store was bustling with visitors. Customers were scattered around, looking at bags. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

After observing for a while, Yan Xixi went straight to the second floor. Xu Xiaoya was in the VIP suite there. She was attending to high-profile clients and presenting newly arrived items to major customers who had waited six months or even a year for their pre-orders.

She politely saw off a middle-aged female customer. The woman was elegantly dressed and held a newly arrived custom-made bag worth more than 800,000 yuan.
