Rebirth 78: After being jilted at the altar, I reached the pinnacle!

A middle-aged man exclaimed, "It's unprecedented for city leaders to personally lead an inspection team. It seems this supermarket has attracted considerable attention."

The young man next to him chimed in, "But seeing how good their business is, I don't think there will be any problems. Besides, my friend often talks about this supermarket to me, praising it to the skies."

Li Hanliang didn't seem to care, and then he led his staff and inspectors to check each area one by one.

Inspectors meticulously examined every detail, including the quality of the goods, price tags, sourcing channels, and the working conditions of the employees.

Li Guanghua stopped in the fresh produce section, picked up a carton of eggs, carefully checked the production date and shelf life, and then turned to the vegetable section, picked up a few cabbages and smelled them.

An inspector was recording each inspection result and constantly asking questions of the staff.

The supermarket gradually quieted down as customers' attention was drawn to the sudden inspection.

Just as Li Guanghua was about to head to the next area, a little girl suddenly pulled her mother's hand and ran up to him, sweetly asking, "Uncle, what are you doing?"

Li Guanghua paused for a moment, then a rare smile appeared on his face: "Little friend, Uncle is checking the supermarket to see if there are any substandard products."

The little girl blinked and asked innocently, "Are the things here good quality?"

Li Guanghua hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded: "Yes, the food here is pretty good."

Upon hearing this, the onlookers began to discuss among themselves:

"Even the leaders say so, so this supermarket must be really good."

"The little girl is so cute, even the leader has become more amiable."

Li Hanliang stood to one side, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes. He knew this was the result of his and his entire team's hard work.

The inspection lasted for more than an hour. Finally, the inspectors summarized all the findings and reported to Li Hanliang and Zhang Qingfeng.

"Overall, you have done a good job in all aspects of your work, and no serious problems have been found so far. However, we will continue to conduct spot checks regularly, so please continue to maintain this level of performance."

Li Hanliang respectfully replied, "Thank you for your recognition, leaders. We will continue to maintain high standards."

Li Guanghua shook his head helplessly and turned to leave.

Watching Li Guanghua's departing figure, Zhang Qingfeng said softly, "Although we've gotten through this time, he definitely won't let it go easily. We still need to be vigilant and not give them any leverage."

Li Hanliang nodded, his gaze firm: "Brother Zhang is absolutely right, but this situation can't continue like this. We should resolve this problem as soon as possible."

As night fell, the supermarket lights shone brightly.

Li Hanliang stood at the supermarket entrance, took a deep breath, and felt somewhat worried about the future.

Meanwhile, in a small apartment building in the provincial capital.

Jing Wenqiang sat on the sofa, his face grim as he hung up the phone. "Li Hanliang, you really are an unkillable cockroach. You've escaped again. But you can't be this lucky every time. I'll make you pay the price sooner or later!"

“Young man from the Jing family, you’re going a bit too far with what you’re saying. Don’t forget, you’re a wanted criminal now. If I hadn’t protected you, you wouldn’t even have the right to sit here right now,” a middle-aged man said from the side.

“Secretary Liu, you’re right. So what should we do now? We can’t just let Li Hanliang continue like this indefinitely. If that’s the case, it won’t be so easy for us to take action against him later.” Jing Wenqiang said through gritted teeth.

Upon hearing this, Secretary Liu pondered for a moment before slowly speaking, "Currently, there's not much we can do about Li Hanliang's supermarket. After all, the public is on Li Hanliang's side right now. If we were to take action against Li Hanliang now, it would backfire."

“So we’re just going to let it continue like this? You know, this isn’t a good thing for us, especially not for you, Secretary Liu, is it?” Jing Wenqiang said.

Hearing Jing Wenqiang say this, Secretary Liu frowned. Although Jing Wenqiang's words were not pleasant to hear, they were an undeniable fact.

Given the current situation, Secretary Liu really couldn't do anything about Li Hanliang. After all, he had the vice mayor of Tianshui City specifically investigate Li Hanliang's chain supermarkets, but they found nothing.

Furthermore, that chain supermarket is currently widely loved by the people. If he were to go against the people, his term as secretary would be over. He wouldn't be foolish enough to go against Li Hanliang at this time.

Although Jing Wenqiang was unwilling to accept this, he knew that if Secretary Liu was unwilling to take action against Li Hanliang, he would have no way to deal with Li Hanliang with his limited resources.

And so, the matter was left unresolved.

With the booming popularity of chain supermarkets, many people in Tianshui followed suit, and chain supermarkets quickly became popular throughout Tianshui.

And it wasn't just Tianshui City; even the provincial capital heard about the chain supermarket and sent people over specifically.

"Governor Lin, why do you have to make such a small trip in person? Doesn't it make me, the mayor, seem like I have no sense at all?"

Tianshui Mayor Lin Wang Hongwei warmly received Governor Lin from the provincial capital in his office. Although he had a smile on his face, he was somewhat uneasy.

He knew that the governor's personal visit was not simply to see the so-called chain supermarket; there must be some other purpose behind it.

"Oh, Hongwei, we've been colleagues for a long time, why are you being so polite?" Governor Lin patted Wang Hongwei on the shoulder with a smile, his tone relaxed yet slightly serious. "Your Tianshui City has made such a big commotion, how could I not come and see for myself?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Hongwei's heart tightened slightly, then he forced out an even more ingratiating smile: "Yes, yes, then let's go directly to the chain supermarket and take a look. What do you think, Governor Lin?"

Li Hanliang's supermarket has returned to its usual bustling scene, with customers browsing and customers selecting goods, while the supermarket employees are busy at work.

However, at that moment, several middle-aged men walked into the supermarket, followed by several entourage members.

"Isn't this Mayor Wang?" a shopping woman exclaimed in surprise, pointing at Wang Hongwei as he walked in.
