Chapter 651 - Becoming A Scapegoat (2/2)

It was also a sudden major inspection. Zhou Yu rode his bicycle over here quickly and notified these pedlars.

“Go, go quickly. There will be a major inspection today. I just got the information. Clear everything away. Hurry up,” Zhou Yu rode his bicycle around the side street and then said.

“That’s really annoying, inspecting at this time of day.” The middle-aged man that sold scallion cakes turned off the furnace and tidied up his stuff.

“It is lucky that this young man notified us. Otherwise, our stalls will all be confiscated. Hurry up. Let’s go,” the pedlar that sold soybean milk and deep-fried dough sticks said quickly.

“You are right. Thank you,” the man that sold scallion cakes shouted at Zhou Yu.

“Don’t mention it. We are all working to live,” Zhou Yu said that indifferently.

It wasn’t the first time that Zhou Yu said so. On the first day when he came to work, he told these pedlars that they could spread out goods for sale in their stalls during normal times with the condition that they did the cleaning. If there was an inspection, however, they must run quickly so that no one suffered any loss.

He was naturally referring to himself and these pedlars by saying that. In this way, he could finish his work and didn’t need to confiscate the stalls that they lived on.

At that time, Zhou Jia asked Zhou Yu why he didn’t drive them away. After all, it was just his work.

“It’s really unnecessary. Everybody works for a living and there’s no need to drive them here and there, let alone confiscating the stalls. Anyway, I can get nothing from that,” Zhou Yu smoked and said lightly.

Judging from the way he spoke, he would do that if somebody gave him money.

“Then why do you work as an urban management staff?” Zhou Jia asked curiously.

“Just for a living. Tiresome jobs require people to do, anyway. Besides, I would also open a restaurant and count the money every day if I had such good craftsmanship like Boss Yuan’s. Who do you think wants to do this tiring and disgusting work?” Zhou Jia gave a contemptuous look at Zhou Jia angrily.

“Well, you are right.” Zhou Jia was speechless.

Yuan Zhou heard that, but he didn’t say anything.

“All right. Do it quickly.” After he smoked a cigarette, Zhou Yu got on his bicycle and left.

Getting down to business. This time, the inspection team arrived very quickly.

In less than ten minutes after Zhou Yu left, three white law-enforcement vehicles pulled into the side street. A lot of urban management staff showed up in crowds.

Breakfast time had ended. When the loudspeaker sounded, Yuan Zhou was sitting in his restaurant and reading a book.

Coincidentally, the fried-dumpling stall was still there, not far from the door of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant.

“What’s going on? Whose stall is that? Move it away now,” the team leader immediately turned on the loudspeaker and started to shout.

“Ta Ta Ta”. Zhou Yu ran out of the vehicle right away and entered Yuan Zhou’s restaurant directly. He began to speak even before Yuan Zhou said anything.

“Boss Yuan, I have told you that you cannot put the stall outside the door. Move it into your restaurant now,” Zhou Yu pointed at the fried-dumpling stall and said solemnly.

“Okay, okay.” Yuan Zhou was in a daze at first. When he followed Zhou Yu and looked outside, he understood at once and nodded his head without blinking.

“Move it, move it now,” Zhou Yu took Yuan Zhou to the stall. Then he carried one side of the stall and said to Yuan Zhou.

“Got it.” With a look of indifference, Yuan Zhou didn’t say anything superfluous from beginning to end. He took the other side and started to move the stall away.

“Boss Yuan, you also cook fried dumplings now?” An urban management staff asked curiously at the side.

“No. I just wanted to study it randomly,” Yuan Zhou answered without turning his head around.

“Then why didn’t you put it inside?” Other staff knitted their brows and asked.

After all, it was considered to be a roadside stall business. They naturally had to ask about that.

“The restaurant is too small to put it inside,” Yuan Zhou was telling a bare-faced lie.

“Don’t put it outside anymore next time. Roadside stall business is forbidden. But since you are Chef Yuan, we won’t confiscate it this time. But remember, that can’t happen again.”

After the team leader said that, he took his men and left.

As a chef well-known throughout the province, Yuan Zhou was able to cope with things using his face on some certain occasions.
