Protagonist:

Lu Feng

"Fine, Xiao Sun, you go ahead and get busy."

Director Cao, upon hearing that Lu Feng would return to prepare for opening, did not insist that Lu Feng stay for tea, waving his hand toward the young girl outside the door and saying:

Then he pointed to the sofa beside the office window: "Whatever it is, come, sit down and say it slowly."

"No need to sit, just a sentence or two, I'll leave once I've said it."

Lu Feng shook his head and said.

"No need to sit, I'll leave once I've said it."

Lu Feng shook his head and said.

"What's wrong?"

Director Cao furrowed his brow, his expression turning serious, speaking in a very earnest tone: "Whatever it is, just speak up; if I can help, I will certainly do my best."

"It's nothing major."

Lu Feng smiled, speaking in a very calm tone: "Someone has come to cause trouble at my store entrance, placing a vending machine at my store entrance, and I hope you can have him move it a bit, so as not to affect the customers in my shop."

"Vending machine?"

Director Cao's brow furrowed instantly, then suddenly recalled something: "Is that person wearing gold-rimmed glasses?"

Lu Feng nodded.

It seems that bespectacled man really did come to the Street Office to register.

"Didn't he register for that braised food shop next to yours? Why did he put it at your store entrance?"

Director Cao furrowed his brow, feeling vaguely that something was off.

"He came to see me last Saturday, but I clearly refused him; who would have thought that today he cooperated with the braised food shop next door and placed the machine at my store entrance."

Director Cao's face darkened, his tone full of anger: "Is he treating the public area as his own home? Putting it wherever he wants? Does he really think he can do as he pleases just because he has permission from the Street Office?"

Director Cao's anger was not feigned at all.

As the Street Office Director, he knew better than anyone the importance of Lu Feng's small shop to Food Street.

Lu Feng was practically the one person driving the economy of the entire Food Street.

"Boss Lu, this was our negligence. I originally thought that since that braised food shop is next to your store, placing the vending machine there would be close to your place, making it more convenient for customers to buy water, but I didn't expect him to place it right at your door."

The anger on Director Cao's face faded, replaced by a hint of embarrassment.

He walked straight to the desk, picked up the landline, and prepared to dial, speaking in a decisive tone: "Rest assured, I will have someone notify him right now to move it back from wherever he brought it! Absolutely cannot delay business in your shop!"

"That's not necessary."

Lu Feng smiled, a glint of cunning flashing in his eyes.

Director Cao's hand, just having picked up the receiver, paused, and he looked at Lu Feng with a puzzled expression: "Boss Lu, do you have other arrangements?"

"Director Cao only needs to have him move it to the entrance of the braised food shop."

Lu Feng said confidently: "In a few days, I will make them move the machine out of Food Street themselves."

Director Cao was stunned, then understood.

It seemed Lu Feng wanted to resolve this matter thoroughly.

"No problem, Boss Lu, you handle it as you see fit. I'll first have him move it away from your store entrance so it doesn't affect business in your shop."

Upon hearing Lu Feng say this, Director Cao didn't think twice, immediately smiling and agreeing: "Other matters will proceed as you wish; if you need my help, come find me anytime!"

"Then thank you, Director Cao."

After speaking, Lu Feng stood up, preparing to take his leave.

"Boss Lu, what are you being polite for!"

Director Cao stepped forward to see him out, saying as they walked: "Later when your shop opens, I'll take my office colleagues over to support you. If you encounter this kind of thing again, you don't need to come specially; just call me and I'll immediately arrange someone to handle it."

"Alright, then I'm heading back."

Lu Feng smiled and nodded, turning around and walking out of the Street Office.

Director Cao saw Lu Feng out to the gate of the Street Office, then turned and walked to the reception desk.

"Xiao Sun, pause your work for now."

The young girl Xiao Sun, who was receiving at the door, raised her head, her heart thumping involuntarily.

Director Cao, usually very gentle, was now frowning, his face showing obvious displeasure and anger.

"Director, what's wrong?"

Xiao Sun hurriedly put down the documents she hadn't finished organizing, stood up, and asked somewhat nervously.

"Someone placed a vending machine at Boss Lu's store entrance without Boss Lu's consent; do you know about this?"

Director Cao looked stern, his tone carrying suppressed anger.

"I don't know..."

Xiao Sun was stunned for a moment, then suddenly recalled something: "Director, is it Mr. Wang who came to register this morning?"

When the bespectacled man came to the Street Office to register this morning, it was Xiao Sun who handled the registration.

Because the location he applied to place the vending machine was very close to Lu Feng's shop.

Xiao Sun even took him to see Director Cao.

Therefore she had an impression of this person.

"If not him, who else could it be?"

The moment the glasses-wearing man was mentioned, Director Cao's anger couldn't help but rise to his forehead: "This morning when he spoke to me, he swore up and down that he had already discussed it with Lu Boss, but as Lu Boss just said, it never went through his consent at all! There isn't a single word of truth in this guy's mouth, he's purely stringing us along!"

Recalling the glasses-wearing man's appearance slapping his chest and making guarantees before him this morning, Director Cao's anger flared up from nowhere.

The glasses-wearing man doing this not only deceived their Street Office.

Even more, he offended Lu Feng, whom they valued most.

If because of this matter, Lu Feng developed some misunderstanding toward their Street Office, that would be bad.

He also knew that a remarkable person like Lu Feng, wherever he went, people would scramble to recruit him.

Once Lu Feng was poached away to somewhere else, Food Street would become deserted like before in no more than a few days.

Because Food Street was growing increasingly prosperous, he himself had just been commended by his superiors.

If it turned back to how it was before, how would he answer to his superiors?

"Okay Director, I'll go handle it right now, make him move immediately!"

Little Sun agreed crisply, stuffed his work permit into his pocket, stood up, and prepared to head out.

"Wait a moment."

Director Cao called Little Sun to a halt, his gaze holding a few more degrees of caution: "No need to make him move too far, just shift him to the entrance of that braised food shop next to Lu Boss, don't let that guy think we're colluding with Lu Boss to drive him away, lest this person has too many affairs and goes out wagging his tongue carelessly, affecting our Food Street's image."

Food Street's popularity has been rising higher and higher recently, and lately quite a few famous snack brands have been planning to settle in.

If at this critical juncture, some unfavorable remarks were spread, it would inevitably cause unnecessary trouble.

What's more, Lu Feng just said he only needed the other party to move the machine away from his shop entrance, he had other arrangements.

Director Cao believed Lu Feng had the capability to handle this matter well.
