"This fruit shop sells rotten fruit. We came here and they won't admit it!"
Although the three women didn't recognize Liu Changfa and Sun Jianguo, they saw that the two men had extraordinary demeanors and complained indignantly.
The crowd behind them also nodded in anger, as if they had witnessed it with their own eyes.
"These fruits all look the same. How can you be sure they belong to this shop?"
Liu Changfa looked at Er Zhu and then at the fierce-looking three women, asking with suspicion.
Having been in politics for many years, he had some skill in observing people. Liu Changfa saw through the women's intentions at a glance, but without evidence, he couldn't say much.
Sun Jianguo naturally saw it too, but as the director of the Industry and Commerce Bureau, he was even less able to openly favor Er Zhu.
"I'm not talking to you anymore. You're all in cahoots! I'm calling the police!"
Seeing that the newcomers were taking sides with Liu Yan and Er Zhu without asking any questions, the three women exploded and took out their phones to call the police.
"Er Zhu, you can't call the police! If they call the police, it'll be over!"
Liu Yan rushed over when she saw the three women about to call the police, reminding Er Zhu anxiously.
Although this matter was false, if it escalated, it would inevitably bring a bad influence to the fruit shop. By then, the fruit shop's reputation would decline, and even if the goods were good, they would lose many customers!
"It's okay. If they want to make a fuss, let them."
Just as Liu Yan was about to say more, Er Zhu calmly spoke.
A trace of worry flashed in Liu Yan's eyes, but seeing Er Zhu and the other two looking so relaxed, she didn't say anything more.
With three big men taking the lead, she didn't have to solve it anyway.
"We've already called the police. You can wait to go to jail."
A moment later, the three women put away their phones and said triumphantly to Er Zhu and the others.
After they finished speaking, the three exchanged glances, a flicker of cunning flashing in their eyes.
That's right, they deliberately wanted to make a big deal out of it!
By then, not only the fruit shop owner but also the two friends who came out to protect them would be implicated!
What if they knew the truth? Without evidence, nothing counted!
Besides, they had bribed an employee from the Industry and Commerce Bureau. Although he was only an intern, it was better than nothing!
Thinking of this, the three women showed a sly smile, looking at Er Zhu and the other two with a look of victory.
Soon, a car from the Industry and Commerce Bureau arrived, and three young men in uniform got out. One of them was the intern bribed by the three women, Li Qiang!
The other two had been transferred from out of town and had only met Sun Jianguo once.
"Leaders, you must uphold justice for us common people!"
Seeing the arrivals, the three women stepped forward aggrievedly, grabbed Li Qiang's hand, and winked at him.
Li Qiang nodded slightly, gave the three women a reassuring look, and then walked over sternly.
"Please open the shop and cooperate with our investigation!"
Li Qiang walked up to Liu Yan, speaking as he took out a search warrant from his briefcase.
"Investigating the fruit shop without asking anything? Is this your level?"
Liu Yan was about to retort when Sun Jianguo frowned slightly and reprimanded with displeasure.
What was going on with Deputy Station Chief Zhou? How could he let an intern lead the investigation, and with two people newly transferred from out of town!
With this team, it would be strange if they handled things well!
Sun Jianguo's face turned from white to red, then from red to green, his anger growing.
"What's it to you? If you say one more word, I'll handcuff you!"
Li Qiang naturally didn't recognize Sun Jianguo. He suddenly turned his head and shouted loudly.
"That's right, we are employees of the Industry and Commerce Bureau, and we have law enforcement authority. You go play somewhere else!"
A man with a slovenly appearance behind Li Qiang also reprimanded with displeasure.
He was already feeling wronged being transferred from Rongcheng to this desolate small town, and now he encountered someone showing off!
Damn it, he was so old and still showing off, it was hilarious!
Sun Jianguo's face turned red with anger, and Liu Changfa on the side was even more furious.
"You two idiots, open your dog eyes and see clearly. This is your Director Sun!"
Liu Changfa pointed furiously at Li Qiang and the other two, directly revealing Sun Jianguo's identity.
Instantly, all eyes focused on Sun Jianguo, filled with shock, especially the three women and Li Qiang.
Director Sun?
He was the biggest official in the Industry and Commerce Bureau!
Thinking of this, Li Qiang and the other two turned pale, but their expressions quickly returned to normal.
Liu Yan was even more shocked to the point of being dumbfounded. She hadn't expected Er Zhu to know such a big shot!
"You're the director? Hahaha, why don't you say you're a national leader? Are you addicted to showing off!"
"Exactly! None of us three are idiots, do we not even recognize our own leader?"
"Haha, Liu Yan, you're really something. You'll do anything to shirk responsibility."
...
Before Li Qiang could finish speaking, the two youths behind him and the three women seemed to have thought of something, and they mocked him sarcastically.
Liu Changfa was so angry he turned green. He glanced at Li Qiang and the others as if they were idiots, cursing inwardly:
Ignorant fools, they were indeed idiots!
"Don't try any tricks with me. We're confiscating this business license today!"
When Li Qiang walked up to Er Zhu and Liu Yan, he suddenly leaned in and threatened in a low voice.
Liu Yan's eyes were full of anger. Just as she was about to argue, Er Zhu stopped her.
"This business license definitely won't be confiscated."
Li Qiang was about to leave when he heard Er Zhu's voice. His voice was not loud, but it was very confident.
Li Qiang wanted to retort, but then he disdained to argue with Er Zhu. He glanced at Er Zhu contemptuously and entered the fruit shop with the two behind him.
Seeing the three enter the shop, Liu Yan followed closely. Er Zhu, Liu Changfa, and Sun Jianguo also walked towards the fruit shop. The entrance was already blocked by a crowd of onlookers.
"Oh my god, it smells so good! Just smelling it makes my mouth water!"
As the onlookers approached the entrance, a sweet fruit aroma wafted towards them. Someone couldn't help but exclaim.
Li Qiang and the other two looked extremely displeased. They looked at the large, good-looking fruits, and a look of shock flashed in their eyes.
As employees of the Industry and Commerce Bureau, they had visited almost all the fruit shops in the small town, but none of them were as good as this one!
Not only were there many types of fruits here, but their appearance was also excellent, and their sweet aroma made people's mouths water!
No wonder those three women were so jealous. If it were him, he wouldn't let such a fruit shop continue to develop!
