Ji Qingyan had never witnessed such a scene before. She was afraid that this would lead to more trouble.
“Don’t be afraid. It’s fine.”
The surrounding merchants were also confused and unsure.
Could this couple really know the director?
Bullsh*t.
“What is going on here?!”
Just as the situation was getting out of control, a man in a suit and two people in security uniforms walked over from afar.
He pushed away the onlookers outside and walked in front of Lin Yi.
“Manager Ma is here.”
The person called Manager Ma was called Ma Shuliang. He was the security manager of Agricultural Development Market.
Usually, his main job was to maintain order in the market and moderate the conflict between vendors, customers, and suppliers.
“Big Tooth Wang, why are you lying on the ground?”
“Manager Ma, you’re here.”
Seeing Ma Shuliang, Wang Fang stood up from the ground.
Her waist was no longer sore, her legs no longer hurt, and her heart was no longer uncomfortable.
“These two people tried to frame me for selling rotten vegetables to them and even smashed my vegetable stall. He even beat up our two helpers.”
Ma Shuliang observed the situation and looked up at Lin Yi.
“Brother, what do you mean by this? You can’t bully others just because they’re vegetable sellers,” Ma Shuliang said.
“How am I bullying people?”
“You’ve already beaten them up so badly. Isn’t this bullying?” Ma Shuliang said.
“Do you think I have nothing better to do?”
“If you’re talking nonsense, tell me who saw you buying groceries at my place?” Wang Fang shouted.
Ji Qingyan turned around and looked at the others. “They all saw it.”
“Sigh, young lady, don’t talk nonsense. We didn’t see anything.”
“I’ve been here all night, but I’ve never seen you guys come here to buy groceries.”
“She hasn’t opened for business since this morning. How can you accuse her so unjustly?”
They were all in the market, so they naturally banded together.
Otherwise, how could they do business in the future?
“You’re lying!” Ji Qingyan retorted. “You were all here when we came to buy groceries this morning!”
“What are you talking about? We’re not related to Ms. Wang, so there’s no reason for us to help her. If we saw it, we saw it. If we didn’t see it, we didn’t see it. We wouldn’t lie.”
“You!”
“Alright, enough.” Lin Yi pulled Ji Qingyan back. “It’s no use arguing with them.”
“Brother, the matter has now escalated to this point. Shouldn’t you give us an explanation?” Ma Shuliang said.
In reality, Ma Shuliang knew everything here.
Big Tooth Wang and the others must have sold rotten vegetables to the customers. It was not like this was their first rodeo.
If there was concrete evidence, he would have to help the customers.
However, the current situation was different. There was no evidence at all. Moreover, there were others as witnesses, so he had to help Big Tooth Wang and the others.
“What are you talking about? Someone will be coming here soon to talk to you.”
“Someone?” Ma Shuliang was stunned. “Who will be coming?”
“Manager Ma, they said they found Director Sun from the Industry and Commerce Bureau,” Wang Fang said.
“Director Sun?” Ma Shuliang muttered, “Isn’t the director of Industry and Commerce Bureau’s surname Li? I’ve never heard of anyone else with the surname Sun.”
“Huh?”
Everyone reacted and felt that something was wrong.
Could he be telling the truth?
It didn’t seem possible.
Just as Big Tooth Wang had said, if he was really so capable, he would not have ridden a tricycle around to serve food.
“Manager Ma, what do you think we should do about this? They knocked over my vegetable stall and hit our helper. Why don’t we call the police?”
“I don’t think that will work.”
Ma Shuliang looked at Lin Yi and said,
“Brother, since things have come to this, let’s end this matter here and not continue to escalate things. Their goods have been overturned, so you have to compensate Big Teeth Wang 2,000 yuan. As for the two people on the ground, you just have to compensate them 5,000 yuan and this matter will be settled.”
“Compensate my *ss.”
“How can you say that?” Ma Shuliang said.
“I’m doing this for your own good. If you do this again, I’ll call the police. When the time comes, you’ll be the ones to suffer!”
“Move aside. Who wants to call the police?”
A cold snort came from outside. The people around dispersed and saw more than ten people in uniforms walking in.

Seeing the person walking over, Ma Shuliang was shocked. The people from Industry and Commerce Bureau were really here?
He knew one of them.
“Director Li, it’s a surprise to see you here.”
“And you are?”
“I’m Ma Shuliang, the security manager here. When you came here previously, I followed my boss and even accompanied you for a while.”
“Yes, I have some impression of that.”
After a simple reply, a dozen people walked towards Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan.
“President Lin, President Ji, is this the woman who was causing trouble?”
The person who spoke was called Sun Xuemin, the head of Zhonghai Industry and Commerce.
“Yes, that’s her. You guys handle it.”
“Don’t worry, we’ll take care of it!” Sun Xuemin promised.
Why was Director Li standing behind him when he was talking?
Also, why did he call this man President Lin?
Could he have another identity?
Sun Xuemin raised his chin. “Old Li, get someone to take them away. Investigate this shop too. How can they come out and disrupt the peace like this? Such a person must be severely punished!”
“Got it, Director Sun!”
“Hey, hey, hey, why are you arresting me? He wronged me. I didn’t do anything wrong!” Wang Fang shouted.
“President Lin is worth hundreds of billions and is a famous entrepreneur in Zhonghai. Do you think he would falsely accuse you?”
“Worth… worth hundreds of billions…”
After learning of Lin Yi’s true identity, Ma Shuliang, Wang Fang, and the others’ eyes almost fell out of their sockets.
With his identity, did he need to personally come out to buy groceries?
Even if they were traveling incognito, there shouldn’t be anyone who took it as far as you!
Wasn’t this plain old bullying?
“President Lin, I’m really sorry. This is due to negligence in management. In the near future, we plan to deal with this matter and reorganize the entire industry. We have to completely eliminate this negative phenomenon!” Sun Xuemin said with a smile.
“I’m not qualified to have a say in this.” Lin Yi smiled. “You can handle it.”
“Okay, okay, okay. Let’s bring them back first. Isn’t Longxin going to be listed soon? Call me if you need help.”
“Okay.”
With the matter settled, Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan left as well.
When they walked out of the market and saw the two of them getting into a white sports car, Ma Shuliang and Wang Fang felt terrible.
What the f*ck is this?
“What should we do? The stock in the kitchen is only enough to last a day. We have to hurry up and stock up,” Ji Qingyan said on the way back.
“I’ll get Wang Tianlong to send some over later. When the time comes, we’ll charge him the cost.”
“But this isn’t an authentic experience,” said Ji Qingyan.
“There are some things that you just have to experience once. There’s no need to go overboard.”
Ji Qingyan nodded, agreeing with Lin Yi.
If Lin Yi hadn’t brought her out today, she wouldn’t have known about the chaos in the marketplace.
This might be the world as Lin Yi saw it. He was perfectly in tune with civilian life.
Lin Yi did not return to the store. Instead, he drove Ji Qingyan to Chaoyang Group before returning to the store himself.
Seeing the eye-catching Koenigsegg RS stop at the door, the occasional passerby turned to look.
This car was not common. It was really attractive.
If it wasn’t Monday and there were more students wandering around, Lin Yi would probably have been surrounded.
When he arrived at the shop, Lin Yi started preparing the goods.
Although there were not many people around now, he would be busy by lunchtime.
At noon, people came in one after another.
Without He Yuanyuan and Tian Yan’s support, most of the people who came in were girls.
Eating was one of their objective, but the other was to enjoy Lin Yi’s looks for free.
After all, with his conditions, it was impossible to enjoy his body too.
Most of the girls who came to eat were very cooperative. They didn’t order anything else but egg-fried rice and vegetable noodles.
It didn’t matter what they ate. The most important thing was to get to see this boss’s beautiful face for free.
Lin Yi busied himself until past one in the afternoon before sending off all the guests one after another.
Even though the customer flow was not as good as yesterday’s explosion, the revenue still exceeded the 3,000 yuan mark.
Lin Yi thought about it. If it was a weekend, business would be even more booming.
However, judging from the current situation, it should not be difficult to earn more than 10,000 yuan that day.
Creak…
At around two in the afternoon, Ji Qingyan walked in with her bag on her back.
“You’re here so early?”
“I was afraid that you’d be busy, so I left the work to someone else.” Ji Qingyan looked at the empty store. “But there doesn’t seem to be much business today. I’m early.”
“Yesterday was the weekend. In addition, Yuanyuan and Tian Yan were both here. It was normal for business to be good. Now, the students are all in class, and it’s already past lunchtime. No one will come here to eat.”
“I was too embarrassed to ask Director Tian to come over, but why didn’t you ask Yuanyuan to help out?” Ji Qingyan suggested.
“Please don’t. This is a proper shop. I’m afraid that if she comes, it’ll become indecent.”
“Don’t say that about Yuanyuan. She’s my junior sister after all.”
“I advise you to cut ties with her as soon as possible,” Lin Yi said, “When you weren’t here yesterday, those innocent boys made her blush. If one didn’t know, they would think that there was something bad going on in the shop.”
Ji Qingyan laughed out loud.
“I won’t refute you. Yuanyuan is indeed a person who has no morals.”
Ji Qingyan felt that it was all thanks to Yuanyuan’s personality that they were now working together. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have become Lin Yi’s subordinate.
“Alright, let’s not talk about her anymore. Let’s continue working.”
“I did some calculations this morning and found that we received about 3,200 yuan. Our income today is quite good.”
“If we can earn 10,000 yuan today, after deducting the cost of ingredients and rent, we will be earning about 3,000 yuan. That’s more than 90,000 yuan a month, and our annual income will exceed a million yuan. I feel that even if the two of us don’t do business in the future, we can still support ourselves.”
“More or less. That’s how the lives of ordinary people are calculated.”
“Yes, yes. Actually, I feel that this kind of life is quite interesting. Every time I see a transfer notification, I feel more accomplished than when we are talking about a project.”
“This is the joy of ordinary people. Rich people usually can’t experience it.”
She chuckled, combed her hair, and sat down at the bar counter.
“How have you been these past few days? Is the takeaway business working out?”
“You reminded me to turn off the delivery system. Business in the shop is getting better and better. I can’t worry about the delivery anymore.”
“Let’s just keep it up. We can just treat it as publicity if we don’t sell anything,” said Ji Qingyan.
“That’s fine. You can raise the delivery fee so that no one will place an order.”
“Alright, I’ll listen to you.”
“Let’s set the delivery fee to 50 yuan.”
Lin Yi pinched Ji Qingyan’s face, which was as soft as dough. “You only want to raise it by 50 yuan after all our hard work. Can’t you have more self worth?”
“Fifty yuan is already a lot. When I ordered takeout, the most expensive item only cost twenty yuan to deliver.”
“But you won’t be able to achieve much by doing this. I’ll set the delivery fee to 500 yuan.”
