Chapter 2095 Turns out, not a "fat sheep" after all.

The staff member took the sales order from Shen Xinjun and carefully examined its contents.

As he looked through the contents, he asked which materials were inside.

Shen Xinjun was a little dazed. If Pi Yangyang hadn't touched him, he would have remained in a dazed state.

He quickly cooperated with the staff, pointing out the placement of the items on the sales slip.

Another staff member was using a device to scan the labels on these products.

Jiang Wenyan was sweating profusely, desperately wanting to find an opportunity to call Lu Xiangming and ask her brother-in-law to quickly find a way to pull some strings.

Otherwise, if a problem is discovered, dealing with it afterwards will be much more troublesome.

However, with so many staff members present, as well as Pi Yangyang and Shen Xinjun standing there with curious expressions, seemingly waiting for the results, she had no chance to make a phone call.

After checking several items, the expressions on the faces of the two staff members from the Market Supervision and Administration Bureau became somewhat strange.

They are professional pricing auditors who know the market prices of all kinds of goods by heart.

They can basically tell the price of these goods just by looking at them.

After checking several items, I found that the prices listed on the sales order were significantly inflated.

"Director Song, the prices of these items in their store are indeed problematic."

After checking several items, the woman came to a conclusion and reported it directly to her superiors.

Director Song frowned and asked, "What exactly is the situation?"

"The goods here are generally more than three times the market guidance price, which is seriously inflated. Whether it's forced buying or fraudulent sales is still uncertain..."

Before the staff member could finish speaking, Jiang Wenyan immediately interrupted anxiously, "Director Song, we don't engage in forced sales here, let alone fraudulent sales. Our products are all top-tier brands, so they are a bit more expensive than ordinary products. This... shouldn't be a big problem, right?"

Song Shu gave her a meaningful look, then looked at Pi Yangyang and Shen Xinjun and asked, "Before you came here to purchase, did you check the prices of similar products in other places?"

Before Pi Yangyang could answer, Shen Xinjun couldn't help but say, "Of course I've looked into it, I've bought quite a lot elsewhere... but..."

Halfway through his sentence, he suddenly realized that he might have let something slip, so he swallowed the rest of his words.

Song Shu then asked with suspicion, "Did you buy it at the same price elsewhere?"

Shen Xinjun was sweating profusely and looked to Pi Yangyang for help.

Pi Yangyang remained calm and smiled, saying, "No, it's much cheaper elsewhere."

Song Shu gave a puzzled "Oh," and asked, "Then why don't you buy the cheaper ones instead of these that are so much more expensive?"

Pi Yangyang gave a wry smile and said helplessly, "There's nothing I can do. Yesterday, Captain Lu from the Urban Management Bureau came to our shop for an inspection and said that our materials might be substandard. He recommended that we buy materials here, saying that the materials here are all fine..."

As a leader, Director Song understood immediately.

"Okay, I understand." Song Shu nodded, his eyes turning cold as he looked at Jiang Wenyan, and said in a deep voice, "How do you explain this?"

Jiang Wenyan's face turned pale, and her whole body felt weak.

Even if she was slow to react, she had already realized that Pi Yangyang and Shen Xinjun were not "easy targets"; they were clearly there to cause trouble.

"I...I know I was wrong." Jiang Wenyan quickly lowered her head. "I'm willing to return their deposits, and I won't sell this thing..."

While talking, he frantically searched for his phone, wanting to get a refund.

Director Song said sternly, "I can't define what kind of situation this is. However, I now suspect that you have engaged in tax evasion, and a joint investigation is necessary."

He then took out his phone and called the tax office, asking them to send someone to conduct an inspection.

Jiang Wenyan could no longer stand and plopped down in a chair, tears welling up in her eyes.

By this time, the quality inspection department had also finished taking samples. The young man who took the samples said to his superior, "Director Zhou, the samples are taken. Based on my experience, these materials may indeed contain counterfeit or substandard products. Further testing is needed to confirm this."

Upon hearing this, Song Shu looked at Jiang Wenyan again and said, "Boss lady, it seems you have quite a few problems here!"

Director Zhou said, "If it really involves selling counterfeit and substandard products at inflated prices, this is indeed a serious matter. Director Song, what do you think should be done?"

"We still have to wait for the tax authorities to review this. I think there's a high chance he's involved in some kind of corrupt relationship with that Lu guy. I suggest we seal it up first, report the matter, and wait for the higher-ups' decision."

Song Shu was a seasoned veteran, and he naturally offered his opinion on how to handle the situation.

"Okay, then. We'll talk about it when the tax officials arrive."

Zhou Shu nodded.

At this moment, Pi Yangyang looked at Jiang Wenyan and said with a half-smile, "Boss lady, it seems our business deal is off. Here's what we'll do: return your deposit first, and we'll come back after you've sorted out these problems."

Jiang Wenyan wanted nothing more than to bite Pi Yangyang to death, but at this moment, she could only suppress her anger and return the 50,000 yuan deposit to Shen Xinjun.

Having finished all this, Pi Yangyang smiled calmly, "Thank you, boss lady. We'll be going now."

He then bid farewell to Zhou Shu, Song Shu, and others, and left.

He didn't care how things were handled afterwards.

Because those who really need to be dealt with are still waiting for them in the offices of the Urban Management and Supervision Bureau.

After getting in the car, Pi Yangyang asked Kang Dezhu to drive the car to the Urban Supervision and Management Bureau.

"Brother-in-law, with things like this, what about Captain Lu...? If he finds out, he definitely won't lift the ban on us..."

On the bus, Shen Xinjun said with some concern.

Pi Yangyang chuckled softly, "It's hard to say whether he'll still have any chicken feathers on him by then, what are you worried about?"

Shen Xinjun was stunned. "Chicken feathers?"

Pi Yangyang didn't explain, and calmly said, "You'll find out when the time comes."

At this moment, in the captain's office of the Seventh Brigade of the Urban Supervision and Management Bureau, Lu Xiangming was leisurely drinking tea, staring at the cards on the computer, pondering what card to play next.

At that moment, he felt particularly happy.

Just an hour ago, he received a message from Jiang Wenyan informing him that she had received a deposit of 50,000 yuan.

He really enjoyed the feeling of having money given to him.

I worked so hard to get to this captain position. If I don't make good use of the power I have and make a killing, then I've wasted my time.

Fortunately, his sister-in-law was not only beautiful, but also obedient to him, and the two always worked together seamlessly.

His sister-in-law admired him immensely; she was in her early thirties but didn't get married, choosing instead to stay with her brother-in-law.

The thought of going to "reconcile accounts" tonight fills me with a sense of satisfaction.

Just as I was relaxing, there was a knock on the door.

He immediately clicked the mouse, and the computer screen instantly switched to the company's local area network work interface.

Then, unhurriedly, he called out in a drawn-out tone, "Come in."

Xiao Liu, who accompanied him to the inspection yesterday, walked in with a smile and reported, "Captain Lu, Shen Xinjun from yesterday came. He said he came to accept punishment and complete the necessary procedures."

"Yes, bring them here."

Lu Xiangming crossed his legs, held his thermos, took a sip, chewed on the goji berries inside, and spoke in an official tone.

"Yes, Captain Lu."

Xiao Liu agreed and turned to leave.

Soon, Xiao Liu appeared at the office door with Pi Yangyang and Shen Xinjun.

"Come in, Xiao Liu, pour them a cup of tea."

Lu Xiangming, still with his legs crossed, spoke slowly and deliberately.

Pi Yangyang said calmly, "No need, Captain Lu, we're here to accept our punishment. Let's finish this quickly so we won't bother you any longer."

Lu Xiangming spun his chair around and looked at Pi Yangyang, saying, "I can see you've had a tough time, coming all the way from Qingjiang to the capital to do business. You're contributing to the capital's economic development. As public servants, our main duty is to serve you, these money-makers."

"However, no matter what we do, we have to follow the rules. We can't do anything illegal or against regulations, right?"

Pi Yangyang said, "Yes, we really can't do things that violate laws and regulations, and that applies to everyone."

Lu Xiangming seemed oblivious to what was happening, and said in an official tone, "It's good that you think that way. According to regulations, your shop should be shut down for at least fifteen days and subject to punishment. However, I see that your attitude is indeed quite good, and you've recognized the seriousness of the matter, so I'm being lenient with you within the bounds of the rules..."

"As for fines, I'll waive them this time. The work stoppage period will be changed to three days, as a small lesson for you."

"Thank you, thank you, Captain Lu!"

Shen Xinjun said gratefully.

Pi Yangyang gave a strange smile and said, "Thank you, Captain Lu."

"No need for thanks. We'll get to know each other better after this first meeting. We'll be friends from now on." Lu Xiangming waved his hand and then said to Xiao Liu, "Xiao Liu, print out the penalty notice, get these two bosses to sign it, and then they can go back."

Xiao Liu immediately turned around and went out, and soon returned with the penalty notice.

Just as Shen Xinjun was about to sign, several solemn-looking people suddenly burst into the office.

The man in front, not only with a serious expression but also with a hint of doubt, looked at Lu Xiangming and said, "Director Bao, this is Lu Xiangming, the captain of the seventh team."

Lu Xiangming's heart sank. He stood up in surprise and looked at the middle-aged man, asking in astonishment, "Director Cai, what brings you here?"
