Reborn in 1985: From Selling Braised Duck to Becoming the World's Richest Man

The Song siblings also noticed Liang Ming's gaze.

A mocking look appeared on Song Qiang's face as he said, "Liang Ming, you've finally arrived. I thought you wouldn't make it to see this good show."

"That would be such a shame."

Upon hearing Song Qiang's words, Liang Ming remained calm and said in a composed tone, "It's still uncertain who will be watching whose show."

After saying that, Liang Ming turned around and walked towards Liang Hei Ya Shop.

Hearing Liang Ming's confident words, Song Qiang snorted and said, "What's with the arrogance? Wait until the shop is shut down, then let's see how smug you'll be."

Liang Ming ignored Song Qiang, this clown, and strode into the crowd of onlookers.

"Auntie, what happened?"

Liang Ming quickly walked to Liang Juan's side and asked.

Upon seeing Liang Ming arrive, Liang Juan immediately said in a serious tone:

“Xiaoming, these people are from the health department. They came today and said they want to inspect the hygiene of our store.”

"Then after they looked around for a few minutes, they said there was a hygiene problem with our shop and that we had to close down for rectification."

“I said a few words to them, and they said they would impose a fine.”

At the end, a hint of anger appeared on Liang Juan's face.

Hearing his aunt's words, Liang Ming frowned, looked at the health department personnel, and asked directly:

"Who called you here?"

"I don't know what you're talking about. Inspecting the hygiene of restaurants is our job."

The health official in the lead said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Liang Ming's eyes narrowed slightly.

"It seems the person behind you is very clever. They picked you out to cause trouble, so that if something really goes wrong, you, being so smart, can be used as a scapegoat."

Liang Ming smiled faintly.

Upon hearing Liang Ming's words, the leading sanitation worker raised an eyebrow and asked in confusion, "What do you mean by that?"

Liang Ming looked directly at the other person and said, "Haven't you ever thought about why my little braised duck shop would attract the attention of the people behind you, and why you would cause trouble for me?"

"I just run a braised duck shop and don't offer dine-in service. The only hygiene issues I need to be careful about are making sure the braising liquid doesn't splash out when I'm making the food."

"We sent you here to find fault, insisting that there are hygiene problems with our facilities. If this gets out, do you think you won't be punished?"

Upon hearing Liang Ming's words, the faces of the medical staff all turned serious.

Clearly, they also felt that today's work wasn't quite right.

In the past, it wasn't that there weren't people from higher up who would send them to check the hygiene of a store.

However, those shops did indeed have hygiene problems, so when they inspected them, they followed the procedures.

But this time, after they went into Liang Hei Ya shop and looked around, they found that the shop's hygiene was absolutely up to standard.

In this situation, if they insist on treating it as a hygiene problem, it is very easy for problems to arise.

If the owner of Liang Hei Ya Shop were just an honest and upright small businessman, that would be fine.

If the other party has connections and influence, and they expose this matter, then they will definitely be in trouble too.

Judging from the young man's demeanor, the leading sanitation worker became somewhat wary.

"Captain Chen, don't listen to him. I think he's just bluffing."

At this moment, a sanitation worker standing nearby spoke up to the sanitation worker in the lead.

They had finally been assigned a solo mission by their superiors, and if they didn't do a good job, their image in the eyes of their superiors would suffer.

But the man called Captain Chen was very cautious.

He looked at Liang Ming and said seriously, "Boss, there are some things that are not up to us to decide."

"To put it bluntly, we are the idea people who get things done."

"If you have any connections, you'd better reveal them now to avoid damaging the harmony among everyone."

"What do you say?"

Captain Chen's meaning was clear: if you have any connections, just say so.

Let's see whose connections are stronger.

If you have strong connections, then let's call it a day now, so I can have an explanation when I get back.

If you don't say anything, and they really shut down the shop later, then everything will be in trouble.

It can be said that Captain Chen has mastered the art of interpersonal relationships perfectly.

Liang Ming understood what the other party meant.

It must be said that the other party's solution is currently the most suitable one.

Without further ado, Liang Ming addressed Captain Chen:

“Captain Chen, I’m just a small businessman. This Liang Hei Ya braised food brand is just one of my chain businesses.”

“I also have several factories and a chain of restaurants. You may have heard of the name of that restaurant, it’s called Xiangmanlou Restaurant.”

When Chen met Liang Ming, he didn't mention his powerful backers, but instead talked about his businesses, which made him a little suspicious.

He interrupted, "Boss, you know that's not what I want to hear."

He did know about Xiangmanlou Restaurant; it was now the number one privately-owned restaurant in Taoyuan County.

Although he was surprised that Liang Ming was the owner of Xiangmanlou Restaurant, it had nothing to do with the purpose of his visit today.

"Captain Chen, don't rush. Some things need to be explained step by step."

Liang Ming smiled and continued to speak to Captain Chen:

“I used to be just a peasant from the countryside. I was fortunate to be favored by the proprietress of Xiangmanlou, which is why I am where I am today.”

"I am very happy with my partner and his parents' favor and support."

Just as Liang Ming was about to talk about his romantic history, Captain Chen frowned.

What he wanted to hear was not Liang Ming's romantic history.

Team Leader Chen was about to interrupt.

Unexpectedly, Liang Ming changed the subject and said to Captain Chen, "Oh right, I forgot to tell you, my girlfriend's surname is Jiang!"

Hearing Liang Ming's words, Captain Chen became even more puzzled.

What's wrong with this person? Your partner's surname is Jiang, what does that have to do with me?

A quick-thinking sanitation worker standing nearby seemed to realize something, his expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly leaned close to Captain Chen's ear and whispered:

"Team Leader Chen, No. 2 in the city compound, seems to also have the surname Jiang..."

Upon hearing this, Captain Chen's expression changed.

If Liang Ming's girlfriend really has a relationship with that No. 2 in the city compound, then what they did today is a huge disaster.

Regardless of how close or distant Liang Ming's relationship is with that person in the city compound, just because they share the same surname, they are not people they can afford to mess with.

Moreover, what happened today was their fault.

"If I may ask, what is your relationship with that person in the city compound...?"

After thinking for a moment, Captain Chen decided to ask Liang Ming a question.

Liang Ming's face immediately darkened, and he said coldly, "There are some things you'd better not know too much about. The more you know, the worse it will be for you."

"But if you really want to know, I can tell you one more thing."

“I just got back from the city compound last night.”

When Liang Ming uttered his last words, the expressions on Captain Chen's and the others changed.

The fact that Liang Ming just came out of the city compound means that he has a very close relationship with that person in the city compound!

For that reason alone, they are not people you can mess with!
