Chapter 303: Chapter 303: Deviation

Xiao Han pressed the start button.

The luxury of the BMW Car was undeniable, and it was also packed with technology. Keyless start, auto stop-start, automatic waiting… every feature was included.

He drove leisurely through the campus. His car slowly made its way toward the campus gate. Xiao Han hadn’t been driving for long, so he was earnest when driving. On campus, the speed limit was thirty kilometers per hour and so Xiao Han strictly adhered to it.

Although Shuimu University had many luxury cars and often had nice cars appearing, the appearance of the BMW X5 still attracted a lot of students’ attention.

“Wow, that BMW is really cool!”

“That car isn’t cheap. Just look at the rims!”

“Yeah, that’s the high-end version of the BMW X5, and it’s even the four-wheel drive model.”

Some boys, who understood cars a little, didn’t miss the chance to show off their knowledge, leaving the girls by their side stunned.

“Who’s driving it?”

“I don’t know!”

Many were curious and tried to look inside the driver’s cabin, but the windows were tinted with reflective film. From the outside, it was completely impossible to see inside. Only from the front windshield could one glimpse inside. The car soon disappeared from their view.

When the BMW car reached the school gate, the gate was not open.

Beep Beep!!

Xiao Han honked the horn.

The security guard quickly walked out of the security booth, glanced at the car, then used the remote to open the gate, and the barrier automatically lifted. Xiao Han quickly accelerated away.

“Xiao Han?!” Lan Yudie, who was just returning from outside the campus, immediately recognized Xiao Han in the driver’s seat. However, before she could confirm, the car was already gone in a flash.

After class, Lan Yudie had gone outside to a supermarket to buy some fruit to maintain her figure, and she planned to eat them for dinner. Just as she arrived at the school gate, she suddenly encountered a very conspicuous BMW SUV. She couldn’t help but glance at the driver’s cabin, curious about who was driving. She thought she saw Xiao Han, but before she could confirm, the car sped off.

However, Lan Yudie quickly remembered a class reunion some time ago. Xiao Han was also driving this BMW. Could it really be Xiao Han?

Lan Yudie looked astonished at the retreating silhouette of the gemstone green BMW, full of doubt. However, she soon shook her head, “Could I have been mistaken? The BMW that Xiao Han borrowed should have been returned long ago!”

Lan Yudie was skeptical, but that fleeting glance did resemble Xiao Han, making her doubt herself until now. Besides, the color of this BMW was quite common. The gemstone green color was a hot seller, so there were many people who owned this model. The car she saw might not have been Xiao Han’s.

“Could it be that I’ve been obsessing over him too much these past few days?” Lan Yudie took a deep breath.

Lan Yudie shook her head helplessly and walked into campus carrying her fruit.

Hanmen Restaurant.

It was dinner time, yet there were troublesome issues. The original patrons had been driven out. Health bureau staff were conducting an inspection of the restaurant’s hygiene, while fire department staff checked the fire safety equipment. Tax bureau comrades were examining the accounts…

The entire restaurant was completely closed for business. Many diners at the door ready to eat were stopped by the staff of Hanmen Restaurant.

“What’s going on? Aren’t we allowed to eat?”

“Exactly, don’t we need to eat? Why won’t they let us in?”

Students from nearby schools, who had finished a day’s classes, brought friends, classmates, and boyfriends or girlfriends for dinner and were looking for a place to relax. But they were unexpectedly blocked at the door.

“I’m sorry, the restaurant is temporarily closed!” Yang Lu said with some regret.

“Why?” many asked.

“This…”@@novelbin@@

Just as Yang Lu was feeling awkward, Xiao Han rushed over.

“Xiao Han, you’re finally here!” Yang Lu looked as if she had seen a savior.

There was no other way for Yang Lu; despite her strong capabilities, she had absolutely no connections in the provincial city. Therefore, she could only seek help from Xiao Han. Yang Lu knew that Xiao Han had an older sister figure in the provincial city, Li Xiaoya. Li Xiaoya was a prominent figure, and the corporation she managed was among the top ten distinguished enterprises in the provincial city. She naturally possessed substantial connections, which was beyond any doubt.

“Don’t panic!” Xiao Han shook his head, glanced at the people at the door, and said, “Sister Yang, go and distribute some vouchers to them as a form of compensation to the customers.”

“Okay!” Upon hearing this, Yang Lu immediately nodded.

Xiao Han’s approach was evidently very wise. Issuing vouchers soothed the gathered diners at the door and would continue to draw their patronage. Indeed, Xiao Han’s approach had its desired effect, as the consumers left contentedly after receiving the vouchers. The vouchers from Hanmen Restaurant were very appealing and enticing. Unlike other restaurants, where vouchers came with conditions—for example, a minimum spend required to use them—Hanmen Restaurant’s were different. If you held a voucher worth fifty yuan, you could use it even if you only spent fifty yuan. This straightforward approach was one of the many reasons people preferred Hanmen Restaurant.

At the door, the crowd was buzzing.

They were all university students, thereby generally well-mannered; those who received the vouchers left without re-queuing for more. If this had happened in a less civil setting, perhaps the appearance of a troop of old ladies could have bankrupted Hanmen Restaurant.

Xiao Han entered the restaurant, and suddenly, officials from the fire department, the health bureau, and the bureau of industry and commerce were conducting a joint surprise inspection.

However, Xiao Han had always conducted himself uprightly and was not afraid of crooked shadows. Therefore, he wasn’t worried about them finding any issues at all.

However, Xiao Han’s assumption proved to be incorrect. Just as he waited for their investigation to end and for them to leave, suddenly, members of the fire department approached, dressed in work clothes and wearing safety helmets, as if they were entering a construction site. One of them curved his lips into a strange smile, then asked, “Who’s in charge here?”

“I am!” Xiao Han walked over.

“The fire safety here is not up to standard and needs rectification!” The man revealed a sinister smile and said, “There’s no fire escape, and there are not enough fire hydrants and extinguishers. So, you need to rectify these issues. Suspend operations for reorganization!”

After saying that, the man was about to issue the notice for suspension of operations.

“Wait!” Xiao Han immediately snapped.

“Any questions?” The fire department official grinned at Xiao Han, clearly displaying a tiger’s smile.

“You guys set up the fire safety layout initially. Moreover, all the fire safety equipment was bought from your fire department. Now, you’re telling me that it’s not up to standard?” Xiao Han sneered coldly, “Isn’t this just toying with us?”

Upon hearing this, the man slightly paused, then said, “Kid, the fire safety standards have been upgraded. You have to cooperate with our work. You have three months to rectify these issues. I will come back for a re-assessment after three months. If it doesn’t pass, you will have to continue rectifying until it meets the standards.”

“The authority given to you by the people is not for you to suppress and behave atrociously over them!” Xiao Han sneered coldly, “Nor is it for you to target legitimate businesses, assisting those villains lurking in the shadows in their petty endeavors.”

“Whom are you talking about!” the man’s face immediately darkened upon hearing this.

“Talking about you!” Xiao Han wasn’t afraid at all. From the man’s demeanor, it was clear he was just an ordinary fire department staffer taking undue advantage of his little authority. Xiao Han could guess with his toes that the man must have been instigated by Fang Hao from Yujian Restaurant to ruin him. Hanmen Restaurant’s location was coveted only by their competitor Yujian Restaurant, and Fang Hao’s family connections within the Political Bureau of the Provincial Committee were well-known.

“Hmph.” The man snorted heavily and then asked, “So, you’re saying you refuse to rectify?”

“That’s right!” Xiao Han was firmly defiant, but that was because he had the capital to be so, particularly when dealing with these troublesome underlings. Xiao Han knew deeply that at such times, one absolutely must not show fear; if he did, the opponent would most certainly intensify their harassment. On the contrary, if he stood firm, the opponent might actually become fearful, wary of his potential connections.

“You!” The man was infuriated.

Then, the bureau of industry and commerce official laughed, “Old Deng, what’s the hesitation? Just seal it up.”

“This…” The man was startled and embarrassingly said, “I can only issue a fire safety rectification notice. The task of sealing is up to you, the bureau of industry and commerce.”

The bureau of industry and commerce official was taken aback, having spoken too quickly.

“No issues found on the tax front!” the tax official hastily said.

The man beside him grinned, looking at the others, then said, “Let’s just issue a fire safety rectification notice for now.”

Xiao Han sneered coldly, then said, “Once you issue that rectification notice today, you won’t be leaving through these doors.”

“Kid, are you threatening me?” the man glared at Xiao Han.

“You can try!” Xiao Han chuckled, saying, “Though I hate to mention it, I still need to remind you, Young Master Mo and I are sworn brothers!”

The others were immediately startled at this.

However, the opponent clearly didn’t believe him. At that moment, the fire department official hurriedly said, “You say Young Master Mo is your brother, I might as well say the Provincial Secretary is my brother.”
