In officialdom: After she left, I rose rapidly through the ranks!

Gao Xiaoshuai coldly refused the cigarette offered by Boss Wang, saying, "You're the boss here, right?"

"What's your name?"

Upon hearing this, Boss Wang immediately smiled and said, "My surname is Wang, and I'm one of the owners here. Boss, how about we go to a private room and have some tea?"

"What you're doing is really affecting my business. Let's go to a private room first."

influential?

There will certainly be an impact, but today's impact is nothing. The key is what the impact will be like tomorrow.

Gao Xiaoshuai shook his head and said, "No need, I'm sorry, we are on official business, please don't bother us."

"We are the county's inspection team strictly prohibiting public officials from drinking alcohol during workdays."

"Don't worry, it won't affect ordinary people's normal meals; we'll only investigate public officials."

After saying that, Gao Xiaoshuai and his group seemed to have finished their investigation and began to walk towards the private room.

At this moment, Chen Jinghan and Boss Wang's expressions changed.

They're completely unyielding. That's true; the two of them don't know Gao Xiaoshuai and his two companions, so naturally, they won't give them any face.

Mr. Wang quickly whispered, "Gentlemen, I know you're investigating these things, but it's definitely affecting my business."

"If you continue this investigation, my customers will be disturbed, and no one will dare to dine at my restaurant anymore."

"Brothers, lend a hand, please. Don't worry, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

Gao Xiaoshuai sneered, "Trying to bribe me? Remember, the cameras are recording live footage. If you want to be charged with bribing a public official, I don't mind putting your names on the record."

"As for whether it will affect your business?"

"Excuse me, how have we affected your business?"

"We came to investigate public officials for drinking alcohol. We didn't say that public officials couldn't come to the dinner, let alone that people without public office couldn't come to the dinner."

"What? So afraid of being affected? Does your restaurant harbor some filth or have some shady secret?"

Anyone could tell that these words were spoken with anger and hostility.

Boss Wang had no idea how he had offended Gao Xiaoshuai and his group; they were just too difficult to talk to.

At this moment, Chen Jinghan quickly stepped forward with a smile and said, "Brother, brother, don't be angry. That's not what we meant. We just wanted to ask if you could be lenient and make an exception. After all, although we're not afraid of being investigated, having cameras everywhere and watching all the time will make many customers feel confused."

"Brother, give us some face. We're friends with many people in your system, including quite a few leaders. We're all on the same side, there's no need to make things difficult for each other."

Knowing that they didn't have much face, they started looking for reasons and other people's identities to make themselves look better, hoping to make Gao Xiaoshuai and the others have something to worry about.

This kind of thing might be useful if it were someone else or in other circumstances, since most of the time it's just a small matter.

However, if it were today, and if it were Gao Xiaoshuai and his group, things would be different, since they had offended Chen Jingcheng.

If they don't stand up for their Director Chen, they'll all lose face too.

Looking at Chen Jinghan, Gao Xiaoshuai smiled and said, "Oh, really?"

"So, you know a lot of public officials, including leaders. Are they drinking here today?"

"Who are these people you know? Tell me their names and workplaces so I can see if I recognize them."

Would Chen Jinghan dare to say it? Looking at Gao Xiaoshuai's smiling face, he felt like he was facing a smiling tiger.

To reveal the names, workplaces, and positions of people you know in front of a camera is just asking for trouble. Even if you're not that close, it's still harmful.

It seems that the soft kind really won't work.

At this moment, seeing that Chen Jinghan and Boss Wang did not speak, Gao Xiaoshuai walked directly towards the private room.

"Let's go, we've finished checking the lobby, let's go check out the private rooms."

"We've had quite a haul today. We've found at least five or six public officials in the main hall. There should be more in the private rooms, and they're probably of higher rank."

Upon hearing this, both Boss Wang and Chen Jinghan's expressions changed.

They immediately stopped Gao Xiaoshuai and his group. It was fine to check the lobby, but if they found out about Deputy Director Lin and his two companions in the private room, things would get complicated.

"No, boss, even if you're conducting an inspection, you can't just disturb our guests' privacy like that."

"I've shown you what's in the lobby, but our guests are dining in the private room. You can't check there."

"If you insist on doing this, then I'm sorry, we will have to call the police."

"After all, we have no way to verify your true identities, and even if you were, we can't do this."

At that moment, Boss Wang gritted his teeth and decided to take a hard line.

Perhaps, if we take a hard line, we can scare Gao Xiaoshuai and the others. At least, calling the police wouldn't be without its benefits.

Upon hearing this, Gao Xiaoshuai immediately revealed a cold smile.

Call the police?

They had actually considered this matter.

"Sure, you can call the police, but please move aside and don't disturb our work."

Mr. Wang gritted his teeth and said, "No, I'll call the police right now. We'll talk after the police arrive. We're just ordinary people. We don't know anything about your inspection team. We'll listen to the police."

After saying that, Boss Wang took out his phone and dialed a number.

After the call connected, Boss Wang immediately said with a smile, "Brother Zhao, this is Xiao Wang. Could you please come over here? There are some troublemakers here. They say they are from an inspection team, but we don't know them. They are trying to force their way into our private room and harass our guests."

"No matter who they are, they have no right to harass our guests or disturb their privacy."

"Yes, thank you for your trouble. Please come over."

After hanging up the phone, Boss Wang breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Gao Xiaoshuai and the others, saying, "I'm sorry, I've already called the police. Let's talk about it when the police arrive."

Gao Xiaoshuai nodded and said to the people around him, "In that case, let's just wait and see. By the way, don't turn off the cameras. Point them at the doors of these private rooms and record everyone who comes out."

"I'd like to see what kind of unspeakable secrets are hidden in this private room that would make the boss call the police but prevent us from investigating."

Upon hearing this, Boss Wang's expression changed.

They're incredibly difficult to deal with.

That's going too far; it's like they're being targeted on purpose.

Looking at Chen Jinghan, Boss Wang whispered, "It seems we can't hide it anymore. Let's wait and see, and not tell Deputy Director Lin."

"If the problem still can't be solved after Brother Wang from the police station arrives, then you should find an opportunity to enter the private room and try to take Deputy Director Lin and the others out."

"No matter what, we can't let Deputy Director Lin and his group get caught, otherwise, our business will be completely ruined."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jinghan realized the seriousness of the situation and said through gritted teeth, "Damn it, why do I feel so unlucky? And these people, it seems like they're deliberately targeting us."

"That's a bit too much."

Boss Wang frowned and said, "Alright, there's no use talking about this now. It would be best to resolve this peacefully. We'll try to probe the situation later to see what's going on. Also, contact Young Master Sun about the business. He got a share, so he has to do some work!"

"See if he or his friends, including his father's friends, know any of these people. Find a way to solve the problem; spending money is fine!"

Chen Jinghan nodded emphatically. Indeed, at this point, being able to solve the problem with money was already a very good outcome.

I'm afraid that even spending money won't solve the problem.
