Chapter 420: How Dare He Do This

Ye Taian smiled with satisfaction. "Good, now, let’s see how Jiangcheng Business College is going to deal with this. Students can’t possibly all go out to eat, and the college will definitely come to you."

Dong Lixin smiled. "I’m waiting for them to come to me. I had my people leave my number with them. As soon as they call, I’ll bring up the matter of your son returning to school. They won’t be able to refuse."

Ye Taian nodded. "Exactly, that’s the way to do it."

This Dong Lixin was really reliable. Jiangcheng Business College would probably look for Dong Lixin today.

The two chatted for a few more sentences and then ended the call.

After putting down the phone, Ye Taian said to his son, "Haiyang, get ready. When you receive a call from your school’s teacher, you can go back to class."

Ye Haiyang brown-nosed. "Dad, you’re amazing. You settled the matter with just two phone calls."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Of course," Ye Taian said proudly with a smile, "after all, who am I? In Jiangcheng, who would dare to disrespect me? Those who disrespect me never end well!"

...

At Jiangcheng Business College, in the principal’s office.

After listening to Principal Zhou’s report, Xu Yang couldn’t help but snort coldly, "This food safety team really likes to talk nonsense with their eyes wide open."

Principal Zhou gave a bitter smile. "It must be Ye Haiyang’s father, Ye Taian, making a move. The influence of Ye Taian is beyond imagination. The cafeteria absolutely cannot be without food; otherwise, the students will definitely cause trouble. If things get out of hand, we might have to let Ye Haiyang return to class. He’s already in his second year, and there are three more years to go.

Just endure it, and it will pass."

Xu Yang shook his head. "A decision I make is final. A student like Ye Haiyang absolutely cannot remain in the school."

Principal Zhou said, "But the cafeteria..."

Xu Yang waved his hand. "Let the cafeteria operate normally."

"Operate normally?" Principal Zhou was stunned and then said, "But what if they report us to the health department and revoke our business license?"

Xu Yang smiled. "Don’t worry, I’ll handle this sort of matter."

Principal Zhou said helplessly, "Alright then."

Xu Yang took the notice of suspension for rectification, which had the food safety team’s phone number on it.

Xu Yang dialed the phone number.

Soon, the call connected.

"Is this Captain Dong?" Xu Yang said.

"Who are you?" Dong Lixin said.

"I’m Xu Yang, a shareholder of Jiangcheng Business College," Xu Yang replied.

"What do you want?" Dong Lixin scoffed, thinking they really couldn’t wait.

Now, just obediently listen to me.

"You issued a notice that our school’s cafeteria must suspend business for a month. I’m giving you a chance to cancel the punishment immediately and issue a statement that there is no problem with our cafeteria. Otherwise, suffer the consequences!"

After speaking, Xu Yang hung up the phone.

On the other end of the phone, Dong Lixin listened to the dial tone for a long while before snapping back to reality.

He had been expecting Xu Yang to soften and then he would bring up the matter of Ye Haiyang returning to school.

He never expected Xu Yang to say such words.

This was just too arrogant, as if he didn’t take Dong Lixin seriously at all.

Wasn’t he afraid that Dong Lixin would report the inspection results to the health department, wasn’t he afraid of having their license revoked by the health department?

After some thought, Dong Lixin first dialed Ye Taian’s number.

As soon as the call connected, Ye Taian’s hearty laughter came through, "Haha, Old Dong, you really have the knack for this. Did that Xu Yang give you a call and back down?"

Dong Lixin replied truthfully, "Chairman Ye, the fellow did call me, but he didn’t back down. He even told me to rescind the punishment decision and release a statement clearing Jiangcheng Business College’s cafeteria, or else face the consequences."

"What!" Ye Taian exclaimed in surprise, "How dare he act like this? Is he not afraid of the students all going out to eat and something happening? Does he not fear stirring up a big fuss?"

Dong Lixin frowned and said, "Chairman Ye, I’ve thought about it, and this guy is so brazen either because he has connections with the sanitation department and isn’t afraid of me reporting him, or he believes he’s too powerful and wants to fight us to the end."

Ye Taian said, "I just had someone inquire about it, and he doesn’t have any significant ties with the sanitation department. His Jiang Bottom Fishing is doing well, but his interactions with the sanitation department are just routine, without any strong connections."

Dong Lixin said, "Then he must think he’s very powerful and wants to battle it out with us, or perhaps he believes that we wouldn’t dare shut down his cafeteria."

Ye Taian asked, "What would actually happen if we closed the cafeteria for good?"

Dong Lixin said, "He doesn’t accept the suspension for rectification punishment. If we shut it down, we’re just doing our job. Otherwise, people might think we’ve taken bribes. Besides, even if he wants to overturn the decision on his punishment, he still has to go through us. No matter what, he can’t beat us."

Ye Taian said, "Alright, then let’s do that, and completely seal off the cafeteria. Let’s see what he can do about it!"

Dong Lixin replied, "Okay, I’ll get on it right away."

After hanging up, he immediately called in his subordinate and said, "Send today’s inspection report for Jiangcheng Business College to the city’s sanitation department!"

This inspection left Jiangcheng Business College’s cafeteria with a score of zero.

This was an unprecedented occurrence.

The sanitation department’s response would at least be an indefinite suspension for rectification.

The subordinate immediately left to deliver the inspection report to the sanitation department.

Dong Lixin then took a nap on the office sofa.

Last night, he had gone singing with friends in the first half of the night and visited a clubhouse with them in the second half.

It had been quite tiring, and he hadn’t recovered yet, so he needed to rest properly.

He didn’t know how much time had passed when the ringing phone woke him.

Seeing that the call was from a leader at the sanitation department, he realized it was Bai Peng, the deputy director in charge of food safety management.

He immediately sat up, patted his head to clear it a little, and answered, "Hello, Director Bai."

Bai Peng’s deep voice came through, "Dong Lixin, is the inspection report on Jiangcheng Business College’s cafeteria sent by you?"

Dong Lixin had not expected Bai Peng to personally intervene in the matter.

It was known that Bai Peng was the second in command at the sanitation department.

Thinking it over, Dong Lixin could understand. Bai Peng was very serious about his work, and sealing off a school cafeteria was a big deal. It made sense for Bai Peng to take an interest.

Thus, Dong Lixin immediately responded, "Yes, I was the one who had it sent over."

Bai Peng then asked, "And was it also you who sent the inspection team?"

Dong Lixin nodded at once, "Yes, I believe we must pay attention to the sanitation issues in school cafeterias so that the students can..."

Before he could finish his pompous speech, Bai Peng cut him off, "And the members of the inspection team, are they all your people?"

Hearing this, Dong Lixin was taken aback.

He sensed something off about Bai Peng’s words and carefully chose his reply, "They are not my people; they are part of the food safety team. I’m just a squad leader, leading them to serve the people."

"I understand," Bai Peng paused for a moment before continuing, "Effective immediately, you are dismissed, and so is everyone who went to inspect Jiangcheng Business College’s cafeteria. Our food safety team does not need people like you!"
