Protagonist:

Lu Feng

"Alright, Director, I understand."

Xiao Sun was a very sharp young woman; upon hearing this, she immediately understood Director Cao's intention.

It could both help Lu Feng solve the problem and not leave the other party any leverage.

She walked briskly out of the Street Office, heading in the direction of Food Street.

…………

When Lu Feng returned to Food Street, the glasses-wearing man was leaning against the vending machine, messaging the beverage supplier to place an order.

Hearing footsteps drawing nearer, he looked up and saw Lu Feng walking over expressionlessly.

Originally he had been somewhat wary, thinking Lu Feng would bring people from the Street Office back to argue with him.

But seeing Lu Feng return alone, he instantly relaxed and smiled smugly.

His vending machine placed here wasn't against regulations; he had proof issued by the Street Office, even stamped with an official seal.

Even if Lu Feng talked his mouth off, could he make the Street Office people take the proof back from his hands?

A joke!

Who do you think you are?

The Street Office isn't run by your family; you can't just do whatever you want.

"Yo, Boss Lu, what have you been up to?"

The glasses-wearing man put his phone back in his pocket, crossed his arms over his chest, and said in a sarcastic tone: "I thought you went to call for reinforcements; how come you're back alone? Is nobody at the Street Office working today?"

He was dead set on venting the anger pent up in his heart on Lu Feng.

Last Saturday, in order to place a vending machine in Lu Feng's shop, he had exhausted his tongue, yet in the end was still ruthlessly refused.

If it were an ordinary shop, he wouldn't have been this persistent.

The key was that Lu Feng's shop business was too good; his machine placed here would be a huge profit.

This money, the glasses-wearing man felt, was exactly what he should earn.

Someone blocking his livelihood, he naturally wouldn't give them a good face.

Faced with the glasses-wearing man's sarcastic voice, Lu Feng still chose to ignore it as always.

He had already given the Street Office side a heads-up, knowing someone would come over to handle it in a while; there was no need to waste words on the glasses-wearing man.

He opened the shop door and walked into the kitchen.

Compared to the glasses-wearing man's mockery, the new recipe just unlocked today.

Was what truly gave Lu Feng a headache.

…………

Not long after Lu Feng returned to the shop, Xiao Sun from the Street Office arrived at Food Street.

When she walked to the entrance of Lu Family Restaurant, her steps paused.

The vending machine standing at the entrance, pressed right against Lu Feng's shop door, looked indeed eyesore.

No wonder Boss Lu was unwilling in his heart.

"Hello Mr. Wang, I'm Xiao Sun from the Garden Road Sub-district Office."

Xiao Sun walked up to the glasses-wearing man who was lowering his head tidying the power cord, a serious expression on her face.

Upon hearing this, the glasses-wearing man looked up; seeing it was the Street Office person he had just met this morning, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

Damn?

This Lu Family Restaurant boss actually really called the Street Office people over?

But he wasn't overly worried in his heart.

After all, he still held the permit document just issued by the Street Office; the other party couldn't possibly make him move it back.

Thinking of this, the glasses-wearing man put on an enthusiastic smiling face: "So it's Sister Sun from the Street Office, thanks for the help this morning. My machine is just set up; the delivery people will come in a bit. Later, Sister Sun, you take some back with you."

The Street Office's Xiao Sun looked much younger than the glasses-wearing man.

Yet he still thickened his face and called her Sister Sun.

"Mr. Wang, your vending machine placed here is non-compliant; please move it to another location."

Xiao Sun didn't acknowledge the glasses-wearing man's pleasantries, speaking straight to the point.

"Can't place it here?"

The glasses-wearing man froze for a moment, then frowned and asked cautiously: "May I ask, how exactly is my machine placed here non-compliant?"

The other party was a Street Office person; his tone no longer had the arrogance from when he spoke to Lu Feng just now.

"I went to your Street Office this morning to handle the procedures; your Director Cao personally approved it. Look, it still has your Street Office's official seal. You surely can't go back on your word, right?"

As he spoke, the glasses-wearing man took out a neatly folded A4 paper from his pocket, unfolded it, and handed it to Xiao Sun.

Xiao Sun glanced at the stamped permit; her tone remained very serious: "Mr. Wang, your procedures have no issue, and it's not that you're not allowed to place it, but Director Cao just personally instructed that you change to a different spot. Please cooperate."

"Then... can I move it over a bit?"

The glasses-wearing man's eyes glanced toward the direction of Lu Feng's restaurant entrance, pointing at the open space right in front of Lu Feng's shop door: "If I move it here, would that work?"

He had no intention of being polite to Lu Feng.

The Street Office told him to move, so he'd obediently move.

But what he thought was to directly move the vending machine to the entrance of Lu Feng's shop.

"That place is even worse!"

Xiao Sun immediately shook his head, his brows furrowing tightly.

Can this person not understand words?

Letting him move the machine elsewhere was just so he wouldn't affect Lu Feng's shop's business.

Result: you still want to move it toward the entrance of someone else's shop?

Why don't you just go ahead and install your machine directly on their shop door?

"You just move the machine over there and that's it."

Xiao Sun forcibly endured the complaints in his heart, raising his hand to point at the braised food shop next door.

The braised food shop was only four or five meters from the entrance of Lu Feng's restaurant.

Although that spot was also very close to Lu Feng's shop, moving it there meant customers coming to Lu Feng's shop to buy drinks would have to walk a few more steps.

Just those few steps could make originally interested drink-buying customers drop by ten or twenty percent.

In that case, the money he originally could earn would be even less, right?

And more importantly, with the machine placed at the braised food shop entrance, how could he continue to disgust Lu Feng?

He didn't want to miss any opportunity to make Lu Feng feel uncomfortable inside.

"Then I don't care, my machine isn't placed randomly, I went through procedures, placing it here completely complies with rules, besides placing it at the braised food shop entrance, isn't that also blocking the lady boss's business?"

The glasses man pointed at the A4 paper in his hand, his tone hardening a few degrees.

"The permit you processed at our place this morning was originally submitted for that braised food shop, what are you doing placing it at Boss Lu's shop entrance?"

Xiao Sun was unmoved, not even glancing at that permit.

That permit was personally printed by her this morning, how could she not know its contents?

The permit in the glasses man's hand was obtained by deceiving Director Cao.

If the Director really pursued it, the Street Office could completely invalidate this permit.

Now just asking him to change position, he not only refuses to cooperate, but acts like a rogue.

Seeing I'm a young girl, thinking I'm easy to bully, right?

She kept a straight face, her tone also turning hard, leaving no room for negotiation.

"Mr. Wang, if you're really unwilling to move it over there I won't force you, Director Cao will come to Boss Lu's shop to eat later, if he sees your machine placed at Boss Lu's shop entrance, he'll definitely be very angry, at that time this permit of yours will probably be invalidated, and your machine will have to be pulled back from wherever it was brought."
