Hearing the words of the newcomer, Yu Jun forced a smile, pleading for an extension of two days.
However, the man was clearly no pushover, constantly verbally attacking Yu Jun.
Upon hearing this, Li Qingfeng slammed the table and walked out.
He was met by Uncle Yu, and opposite him was a plump figure, resembling a blob of fat.
At that moment, he was holding a small fan, pointing and gesturing at Uncle Yu.
"What's going on? Who are you?"
"Why are you making such a commotion outside the restaurant? You're disturbing my meal, don't you know!"
Li Qingfeng launched a series of rapid-fire punches, stunning the fat man into speechlessness.
No matter how he tried to formulate a response, he seemed to be at a disadvantage, only able to endure Li Qingfeng's scolding.
This scene left Yu Jun bewildered, wondering when his nephew had become so capable.
He knew that the original Li Qingfeng, despite his extremely high intelligence, had truly lacked in emotional intelligence.
He was solitary and reticent, with a cold demeanor that kept people at bay. Apart from his grandfather, he rarely spoke to anyone.
After all these years, he seldom even called him "Uncle."
Unexpectedly, today was truly a case of "scholars meeting each other after a three-day absence should be regarded with new admiration!"
After a long pause, the obese man opposite finally reacted, his voice sharp as he retorted, "Who am I? I'm the landlord of this building. What's wrong with me standing here? Why are you, a diner, sticking your nose where it doesn't belong?"
"What has it got to do with you!"
This landlord seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, launching a barrage of counter-attacks.
Hearing his words, Li Qingfeng looked to Uncle Yu, hoping for confirmation.
Seeing his gaze, Yu Jun nodded; the man was indeed his landlord.
Perhaps emboldened by his status as landlord, his lips curled upwards towards the heavens.
He glared at Li Qingfeng and shouted, "How dare you, a mere diner, speak to me!"
Yu Jun, who had remained silent, suddenly spoke, his voice low, carrying a hint of killing intent that Li Qingfeng could sense.
"Who is he? He's my nephew, so what? Do you have a problem with him speaking?"
The landlord opposite hadn't expected the usually meek Yu Jun to suddenly become so assertive.
Just as he was about to utter a harsh retort, he suddenly saw the gleaming cleaver in Yu Jun's hand, and he forcefully swallowed his words.
However, his verbal defiance remained, and he pointed at Yu Jun, issuing a final ultimatum.
"You must move out this week!"
Hearing the landlord's words, Li Qingfeng was immediately displeased.
He took two steps forward, approaching the man. Seeing Li Qingfeng advancing, the landlord's legs gave out, and he collapsed to the ground in fear.
This sight caused Li Qingfeng to shake his head repeatedly.
However, the landlord's demeanor quickly changed when a car arrived outside.
Li Qingfeng realized it was from the Health Bureau.
The newcomer, wearing a cap emblazoned with the Health Bureau logo, immediately adopted a pompous tone, demanding to know who the store manager was.
"Sir, the store manager is me, Yu Jun!"
Seeing the Health Bureau official, Yu Jun quickly stepped forward and replied softly.
Upon hearing Yu Jun's answer, the Health Bureau official scrutinized him before nodding.
He then turned to the landlord, recognizing him, and asked, "And who are you?"
Seeing that the Health Bureau official had noticed him, the landlord finally remembered his purpose for being there today and quickly stood up.
His speed was utterly disproportionate to his corpulent physique.
Perhaps his appearance was somewhat unsettling, startling even the Health Bureau official. Just as he was about to reprimand him, he heard the landlord speak.
"Uh, I'm the one who reported this to my brother-in-law. He sent you here, didn't he?"
The official, who had been about to scold the man, immediately stopped.
"Ahem, may I ask your surname, sir?"
"Me? Me?"
Hearing the Health Bureau official's gentle inquiry, the landlord was momentarily taken aback before stating his name.
Zhao Shengqian!
From the name alone, one could tell he was a true talent.
He was utterly fixated on money, living only to generate more.
"Brother Zhao, may I ask if you are the one who reported this restaurant?"
Upon hearing the Health Bureau official's question, Zhao Shengqian nodded, confirming that he was indeed the one who reported it.
Seeing Zhao Shengqian nod, the Health Bureau officials cautiously followed him into Yu Jun's beef noodle shop.
Witnessing this, Li Qingfeng was puzzled and pulled Uncle Yu aside, asking who the landlord's brother-in-law was.
Hearing his inquiry, Yu Jun quietly explained everything.
It turned out that Zhao Shengqian's brother-in-law was named Wang Wei, a minor supervisor at the Health Bureau. Although just a minor supervisor, the employees below him all had to heed his words.
If they offended Wang Wei and he deliberately made things difficult for them, their future paths might not be smooth.
Hearing Uncle Yu's explanation, Li Qingfeng finally understood everything. No wonder the Health Bureau officials were so subservient after hearing the landlord's words.
Following the Health Bureau officials into the beef noodle shop, they called Uncle Yu over.
"Yu Jun, come here!"
"Yes, coming. What instructions do you have, sir?"
Hearing their call, Uncle Yu scurried over, asking with a smile.
Hearing Uncle Yu's polite tone, the Health Bureau officials found it difficult to maintain their official demeanor and spoke to him in a calm tone, "Our Health Bureau received a citizen's report stating that the hygiene standards of your establishment are not up to par! Therefore, we are here to conduct an inspection!"
"Now, we will conduct a comprehensive inspection of your shop, and you need to be present to supervise whether our inspection is fair and just. Do you have any objections?"
Although Uncle Yu was mentally prepared, he still nodded upon hearing their words.
In fact, ever since Zhao Shengqian started causing trouble, he had anticipated this.
As expected, today Zhao Shengqian brought out his brother-in-law from the Health Bureau.
These Health Bureau officials were relatively fair. Despite a hint of superiority, they conducted the inspection of Uncle Yu's shop fairly.
However, their fairness or lack thereof was of little consequence.
For an old shop like Uncle Yu's, especially small establishments in towns, apart from the ingredients and preparation being clean and hygienic, the environment itself often did not meet the Health Bureau's standards.
Years of cooking grease had stained the kitchen walls, making them impossible to repaint.
In reality, the Health Bureau often turned a blind eye to such old establishments.
As long as the ingredients and preparation were not an issue, the Health Bureau would not find fault with them.
This was because old shops had their advantages; they could guarantee clean and hygienic ingredients, and their flavors were delicious, which is why people like them.
