Chapter 2094 Surprise Inspection

Shen Xinjun had a dark face and was covered in sweat, while Jiang Wenyan had a big smile on her face, her eyes almost squinting into slits.

Seeing Pi Yangyang come out, Shen Xinjun looked like a wronged child, turned to look at him, and said, "Brother-in-law, so many materials..."

Pi Yangyang smiled slightly, "It's okay. If you really don't have enough money, I can lend you some. Trust the boss lady, these are all inspection-free materials, which will save you a lot of trouble later."

Jiang Wenyan nodded in satisfaction and said, "That's right, your brother-in-law has a good sense of perspective. Doing business is all about making money peacefully and safely. If you use substandard materials, they'll investigate you today and issue you a rectification notice tomorrow. How are you supposed to do business then?"

Shen Xinjun looked utterly hopeless.

Even if Pi Yangyang were willing to lend him money, he would feel like he was being taken advantage of.

Getting ripped off before even starting a business is definitely not a pleasant feeling.

"Has everyone reported? No one was missed, right?"

Pi Yangyang stared at the sales slip in Jiang Wenyan's hand and asked.

"It's okay if anything is missing. You can come to me anytime or call me. I will arrange for delivery as soon as you need it, and I will definitely not delay your business."

Before Shen Xinjun could answer, Jiang Wenyan interrupted.

Pi Yangyang nodded, picked up the sales slip, pretended to look at the contents, and said, "That's true, I'll buy all the materials from you from now on anyway, it'll save me the trouble."

After glancing at it, he put down the sales slip and asked, "How do I pay for this? Now, or cash on delivery?"

Shen Xinjun's cheek twitched, and his heart skipped a beat.

Three times the price! It's impossible not to feel the pinch if I have to pay that.

"Brother-in-law, I didn't bring that much money with me. Qin Yuyu has some of it with him..."

Shen Xinjun's face turned from black to white, and he spoke somewhat weakly.

"It's okay, you don't need to pay in full now. How about this, you pay a small deposit first, and then settle the rest when the goods arrive."

Seeing this, Jiang Wenyan spoke generously.

Pi Yangyang hummed in agreement. "Okay then, how much is the deposit?"

Jiang Wenyan said, "Give me 50,000 yuan first. Once you've paid the deposit, I'll arrange delivery."

Pi Yangyang said, "The delivery isn't urgent. His place is still sealed off, and he has to go through the punishment before the door can be opened."

Jiang Wenyan said without hesitation, "It's no big deal. I'm old friends with Captain Lu. I'll just give him a call now, and he should give me that much face."

As she spoke, she called Lu Xiangming.

Pi Yangyang's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile as he said meaningfully, "It seems the boss lady does have some connections. Alright, then I'll leave this matter to the boss lady."

Jiang Wenyan waved her hand; the call had already been connected.

"Captain Lu, didn't we shut down a new shop that was under renovation yesterday? Well, the two owners are with me now. I'm wondering if there's some misunderstanding? They bought all their materials from me, so there shouldn't be any problem..."

Jiang Wenyan went on and on for a long time.

Pi Yangyang naturally knew that she was acting; she was actually telling Lu Xiangming that the "fat sheep" had arrived.

She then nodded several times before saying gratefully, "Thank you, Captain Lu. I'll treat you to dinner another day..."

After hanging up the phone, she breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Pi Yangyang, saying, "Boss, Captain Lu said that since your materials are fine, the half-month business suspension is negotiable. However, you did start renovations without obtaining the necessary permits, which is illegal. Therefore, you still need to accept the punishment..."

Pi Yangyang said gratefully, "Thank you, boss lady. Your influence is really useful. We'll pay the deposit first, then go to the urban management office for processing. We'll let you know when it's all over and deliver the goods."

"No problem, just give me a call when the time comes," Jiang Wenyan said happily. "If you need anything in the future, just tell me, and I assure you that my products are safe to use."

Pi Yangyang nodded and said, "I can see that. I really trust the products you have."

Shen Xinjun, looking dejected, asked, "How much will I be fined for accepting the punishment?"

Jiang Wenyan said, "According to regulations, the penalty should have been 5,000 yuan and a 15-day work stoppage for rectification. But Captain Lu waived the penalty because of me. However, the seal has already been put on, so we can't put it on yesterday and take it off today. You can resume construction in three days."

Shen Xinjun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, boss lady. Well then, we'll give you a deposit of 50,000 yuan today, and you can deliver the goods in three days."

Pi Yangyang said.

“No problem.” Jiang Wenyan took out a bank card and said, “Transfer the money to this card.”

Helpless, Shen Xinjun opened his mobile banking app and began transferring money.

Soon, Jiang Wenyan received a notification on her phone that 50,000 yuan had been deposited into her account.

"Alright, the money has arrived. Thank you both for your support." Jiang Wenyan generously extended her hand and shook hands with Pi Yangyang.

Pi Yangyang smiled slightly, "Thank you for your help. We'll head to the Urban Management Bureau first."

Then, he prepared to leave with Shen Xinjun.

But just as the two turned around, two official vehicles screeched to a halt in front of the shop.

Several imposing middle-aged men got out of the car, glanced at the shop sign, and one of them said, "This is it."

One of the young men, carrying a metal toolbox, muttered, "When did a building materials store open here?"

Upon seeing these people, a fierce glint flashed in Pi Yangyang's eyes, and he pulled Shen Xinjun aside.

After confirming they hadn't come to the wrong place, the group walked into the store together.

The small shop suddenly seemed incredibly crowded.

Who owns this place?

One of the middle-aged men with parted hair glanced at Pi Yangyang, Shen Xinjun, and Jiang Wenyan before asking a question.

Jiang Wenyan quickly walked over and asked with some surprise, "I am... May I ask everyone..."

Before she could finish speaking, the middle-aged man showed her his work ID and said sternly, "We are from the Quality Supervision Bureau. We are here to conduct a random inspection of the materials in your store. Please cooperate."

The two staff members behind him also showed their credentials, and then the young man carried the metal box to the pile of cables, ready to take samples for testing.

Jiang Wenyan was immediately stunned and quickly said, "Leaders, why is there a sudden inspection without any prior notice?"

"Didn't I tell you this is a surprise inspection?" the middle-aged leader said sternly. "If I had notified you, would it still be called a surprise inspection?"

Before Jiang Wenyan could ask any more questions, another person in uniform walked over, showed his badge, and said, "Are you the owner here? Please show us your store's sales records for the past three months; we need to audit them."

"Sales ledger?" Jiang Wenyan was completely bewildered and asked in surprise, "And which department are you from?"

"From the Market Supervision and Administration Bureau," the man replied.

Behind him stood a man and a woman, who also showed their identification. The woman said, "Please cooperate with our work."

Jiang Wenyan was so anxious that cold sweat beaded on her temples. She said anxiously, "Leaders, are you sure you've made a mistake? I've always operated with integrity and have never violated any rules. Why are you all here to inspect us all now?"

The leader of the Market Supervision Bureau solemnly said, "Whether you operate with integrity or not is not up to you to decide. Since you are certain that you have not violated any regulations, then show us your records. Don't be afraid of the inspection."

How could Jiang Wenyan dare to produce the ledger?

Her prices are more than three times the market price, which constitutes a serious violation.

Once verified, it's not just a matter of punishment; the back taxes alone would amount to astronomical sums.

Her eyes darted around, and she said with a forced smile, "Sir, could we talk in private for a moment?"

The leader of the Market Supervision Bureau pointed to the miniature camera on his chest and said calmly, "Say what you have to say here. Don't worry, all our inspections are absolutely compliant and lawful. If you haven't violated any regulations here, we certainly wouldn't wrongly accuse you."

Jiang Wenyan was immediately at a loss.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Sir, my brother-in-law is a squad leader in the Urban Management Bureau, his name is Lu Xiangming. Could you... perhaps for his sake, we could postpone today's inspection..."

The leader pointed again to the camera on his chest, the warning clearly in his voice.

Jiang Wenyan's words came to an abrupt end.

She knew that bringing up Lu Xiangming now would only harm him.

Left with no other option, she could only bluntly say, "I'm sorry, my little shop is just a small-scale business, I don't have any sales records..."

"No sales ledger? Surely there are sales orders?" The leader clearly didn't believe him and asked again.

Jiang Wenyan gritted her teeth and said, "No, I only issued one copy of each sales invoice. After delivery, I handed it over to the customer for verification..."

Before he could finish speaking, Pi Yangyang, who had been standing aside watching the commotion, said with particular enthusiasm, "Boss lady, didn't you just give us one?"

Jiang Wenyan's vision went black, and she almost fainted on the spot.
