Chapter 175: Chapter 175: This Boss Chen, You Can’t Afford to Mess With

Guan Hong immediately called Yuan Tong upon hearing about Chen Xuan’s situation.

Though the two of them were technically of equal rank, Guan Hong was in charge of public security and, backed by the Zheng Family, Yuan Tong naturally did not dare to delay and promptly followed suit.

"Director Yuan, Director Guan, what brings you here?" Meng Jinzhou greeted them with panic.

Neither Yuan Tong nor Guan Hong were individuals that someone of Meng Jinzhou’s stature could afford to offend.

Yuan Tong’s face was overcast, "If I hadn’t come, I would never have known just how capable you are, Director Meng—daring to lord over the common people with such arrogance!"

Meng Jinzhou was so frightened by such a weighty accusation that he was about to explain himself, but Yuan Tong and Guan Hong had no intention of listening to him and instead approached Chen Xuan.

"Boss Chen, I apologize, it’s my lack of oversight that caused you and your family such distress!"

The entire noodle shop erupted in shock.

The heads of the two major departments of health and public security came together to apologize?

This Boss Chen’s face was too significant!

Meng Jinzhou was also startled; he hadn’t expected that this seemingly ordinary noodle shop owner would wield such tremendous power!

Climbing to his position, Meng Jinzhou still had at least the basic judgment.

He understood that this noodle shop owner was definitely not someone he, a small-time player, could afford to offend.

So, without any hesitation, Meng Jinzhou took the opportunity while Yuan Tong and the others were talking to quietly slip away.

But a voice suddenly sounded from behind him.

"Did I say you could leave?"

Meng Jinzhou froze in place.

A trace of ferocity flashed across his face, but as he turned around, that ferocity had turned into an ingratiating smile.

"Boss Chen, I’m truly sorry; I had no idea about your relationship with Director Yuan. If I had known earlier, such a misunderstanding wouldn’t have happened, haha..."

Chen Xuan offered a faint smile, "So, you’re saying if I had no connections, you could bully me at will? Well, I’m telling you now, I have no relationship with Director Yuan; I don’t even know him. Can you move against me now?"

Meng Jinzhou felt a chill in his heart.

Having as much dignity as he did, going so far as to apologize to him, a lowly commoner, was already showing him a lot of face. Yet, the other party was showing no appreciation for the gesture!

Despite his displeasure, Meng Jinzhou naturally did not dare to act rashly, given the presence of Yuan Tong and Guan Hong.

"Boss Chen, you jest. Your shop has created revenue for Huai City and is a credit to our city. How could I possibly harm you? There’s no way I could do anything but support you," Meng Jinzhou said, his face full of smiles.

Chen Xuan spoke with interest, "Is that so? You were just saying that our restaurant’s hygienic standards were not up to par, weren’t you?"

"No, no, no, that was all a misunderstanding. I’ve looked closely just now, and the cleanliness of your shop is excellent, with no issues at all!"

"You previously claimed that eating our food could lead to illness, essentially ruining our shop’s reputation. Now, however, you say our shop is very clean. Don’t you find that hard to convince the public?"

Meng Jinzhou suppressed the anger in his heart and asked patiently, "What do you suggest, Boss Chen?"

"It’s nothing much; I just want you to help confirm something—that our shop is clean."

Meng Jinzhou was puzzled, "How would I prove that?"

Chen Xuan smiled faintly, "It’s simple. Lick the floor from here to the entrance until it’s clean. That should prove it."

With that, the crowd was in complete uproar.

They were actually demanding a person of Meng Jinzhou’s standing lick the floor? This boss was too ruthless!

Upon hearing Chen Xuan’s words, Meng Jinzhou’s complexion instantly turned gloomy.

"Chen Xuan, don’t you fucking overdo it! I’m only being nice to you out of respect for Director Yuan and Director Guan. Don’t push your luck!"

Chen Xuan snorted coldly, "I’ve said it before; I have nothing to do with them. You don’t need to consider their feelings – just consider whether you can afford to offend me!"

Yuan Tong was also looking extremely anxious by the side.

Although Guan Hong hadn’t said it outright, Yuan Tong had roughly guessed the true identity of Boss Chen.

He must be the Mr. Chen whose name resounded throughout the two rivers! The same person whom even the Zheng Family, even War God Zheng, would fawn over – what kind of face did he, a mere director of Huai City’s hygiene department, have to offer that could compare to even a single finger of the other party?

"Meng Jinzhou, you dare talk to Boss Chen like that; looks like you don’t want to be a director anymore!" Yuan Tong shouted angrily.

Meng Jinzhou wore a look of grievance, "But Director Yuan, he’s making me lick the floor!"

"So what? If you hadn’t brought people to cross Boss Chen and caused this trouble, would these problems have arisen? It’s all your own doing!"

Meng Jinzhou was utterly stunned; he never expected Yuan Tong to take an uncompromising stance and side with the other party, who was just a noodle shop owner!

But even so, for him, Meng Jinzhou, to kneel and lick the floor in front of so many people – he just couldn’t do it!

Yuan Tong naturally knew this too and directly approached Meng Jinzhou, lowering his voice to say something to him.

After hearing this, Meng Jinzhou’s face changed dramatically, and he looked at Yuan Tong with eyes filled with terror.

What Yuan Tong said was, "A job is a small matter, but do you want to lose your life? It’s not just you; if it were me being told to lick the floor, I’d have to do it too!"

"This Boss Chen is not someone you can afford to provoke!"

Meng Jinzhou wasn’t stupid; he understood the severity of the situation.

How could he, Meng Jinzhou, mess with someone who could make even someone of Yuan Tong’s stature bow down? How many heads did he have to risk offending them?

Thump!

Without any hesitation, Meng Jinzhou knelt down on the ground.

He actually started to lick the floor as Chen Xuan had commanded.

Meng Jinzhou had survived in the bureaucratic world for so many years because he knew when to bend and when to stand tall.

Though it was humiliating, as long as he could keep his position and save his own life, he could endure it all!

The crowd in the noodle shop was instantly abuzz, none having imagined that someone of Meng Jinzhou’s stature would actually do such a thing.

Nevertheless, many people started to cheer.

Most of them had dealings with Meng Jinzhou in the past and had often been extorted by him; naturally, they found extreme satisfaction in seeing him come to such an end.

Numerous people took out their phones, wanting to record the scene, but fortunately they were stopped by Guan Hong’s men.

Meng Jinzhou’s fate was indeed well deserved; however, if the news spread, it would inevitably have a negative impact.

After a while, Meng Jinzhou finally reached the entrance and then stood up.

"Boss Chen... are you satisfied now?"

Chen Xuan couldn’t be bothered to waste more words on this person, "Get lost!"

Meng Jinzhou, as if granted amnesty, hurriedly covered his face, unable to bear the shame, and ran out of the noodle shop.

Thunderous applause broke out in the noodle shop.

Without saying anything else, just by the fact that Boss Chen had eliminated a scourge for the people and vented their anger, they would surely support this under-the-bridge noodle shop in the future!
