Chapter 119 Turning Danger into Safety
Edge of Yintai Plaza.
Two law enforcement officers, equipped with body cameras, took photos of Lin Chen's tricycle, stove, and gas cylinder from all angles to collect evidence.
"Captain, on-site evidence collection complete."
A team member reports to the leader.
The squadron leader nodded, closed the document board, and turned to look at Lin Chen.
"Comrade, the evidence collection is complete."
According to regulations, we need to temporarily seize your business operations.
The squad leader continued, "Xiao Liu, Xiao Zhang, push the tricycle and stove onto the vehicle."
"yes!"
The two team members responded and stepped forward to push Lin Chen's electric tricycle.
Wang Hai, who had been standing to the side, was very anxious, but because of Lin Chen's words, he gritted his teeth and did not dare to step forward to stop him.
Next to the folding table not far away.
Tangtang, who had been watching obediently, finally couldn't hold back when she saw those uncles in uniform actually pushing her dad's car.
Although the little girl listened to her father and didn't cry loudly, her big eyes instantly filled with tears.
She turned around and buried her face in Su Qingxue's arms, who was sitting next to her.
"Pretty auntie..."
Tangtang clutched Su Qingxue's clothes tightly with her two little hands, her face upturned with tears streaming down her cheeks. Her voice was filled with obvious grievance and helplessness. "They're going to take away Daddy's pot and cart... Without the pot, Daddy won't be able to cook for Tangtang tomorrow."
"Pretty auntie, could you please help Daddy...?"
Looking at the little girl in her arms, Su Qingxue's heart clenched.
She reached out and hugged Tangtang, gently patting her back.
"Don't cry, Tangtang."
Su Qingxue took out a tissue and wiped away the tears from the little girl's eyes. "With Auntie here, no one can take your father's pot away."
After calming Tangtang down, Su Qingxue looked up at the tricycle that was about to be pushed away.
The gentleness on her face vanished instantly.
Not to mention how much she liked Tangtang, this well-behaved little girl.
Speaking of Lin Chen's fried rice stall, it's the only "secret canteen" where she can eat her rice.
What will she do if this stall is shut down?
Moreover, others may not know, but she knows it in her heart.
The entire Yintai Plaza in the city center, from the building itself to the surrounding flowerbeds and open spaces, is a wholly-owned property of the Yintai Group.
On your own turf, watching a chef you approve of being driven away?
Su Qingxue didn't make any extra movements, she just turned her head and glanced at Secretary Chen standing opposite her.
"Secretary Chen, please handle this."
Su Qingxue said, "The pot and the car must be left behind."
Secretary Chen had been by Su Qingxue's side for many years, so she naturally understood the president's meaning.
"Okay, Mr. Su."
Secretary Chen nodded.
She put down the soup bowl in her hand, straightened her business attire, and strode towards the law enforcement officers.
At that moment, the two team members had just placed their hands on the handlebars of the tricycle, preparing to push it out.
"Comrades, please wait a moment."
A voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.
Secretary Chen stepped forward and blocked the tricycle from the side.
The squadron leader frowned slightly, looked at the professional-looking woman in front of him, and stopped what he was doing.
"Madam, we are on official duty. Please do not obstruct law enforcement."
The squadron leader reminded him.
"Comrade, you've misunderstood. I'm not here to obstruct law enforcement; I'm here to clarify something."
Secretary Chen remained calm.
She opened her briefcase, took out a business card, and handed it to the squad leader with both hands.
"I am Chen Min, the secretary of the president's office of Yintai Group."
This entire Yintai Plaza belongs to our group's properties.
Secretary Chen introduced himself.
Upon hearing "Yintai Group President's Office," the squad leader's expression became more serious.
Yintai Group is a key enterprise in the city, and this plaza is a landmark commercial project.
When faced with managers of such large enterprises, he was naturally willing to listen to their perspective.
The squadron leader took the business card and glanced at it: "Hello, Secretary Chen."
Since you work for Yintai Group, you should be even more aware of the regulations for urban management.
This stall is operating without a license and is occupying a public square; we must deal with it according to the law.
"Comrade, I am very clear about the regulations you mentioned, but Mr. Lin's stall is not one of those mobile vendor stalls that are just set up randomly outside."
Secretary Chen smiled slightly and offered an explanation.
"Boss Lin is a specially invited chef whom our Yintai Group Property Department hired at a high salary to conduct preliminary trial operation assessments for the upcoming 'Summer Starlight Food Festival' to be held in the plaza."
Secretary Chen pointed to the location of the stall: "You see, strictly speaking, this location is still within the property boundary of our Yintai Plaza."
Mr. Lin is conducting an internal food service project test within our privately owned property; it's not simply encroaching on public space.
The squadron leader paused for a moment, then turned to look at Lin Chen.
"Even if it's a trial operation activity inside your mall, you still need to obtain the relevant health permits and registration procedures."
The squadron leader insisted on his principles, saying, "He just admitted that he didn't have any identification."
"This was indeed an oversight on our part; the responsibility lies with the shopping mall."
Secretary Chen took responsibility, saying, "The activity filing procedures of the mall's leasing department, as well as the health permit for Mr. Lin's stall, are currently undergoing expedited approval by the group's legal department. However, they haven't been handed over to Mr. Lin yet, and he has already started testing the stall."
"Regarding fire safety and food hygiene, our Yintai Group Property Department will assume full joint and several supervisory responsibility."
As you can see, although the queue is long, we have arranged for security personnel to fold and organize it properly, and it absolutely does not obstruct the public sidewalk.
Secretary Chen politely gave the other party face: "Comrade, do you think you could make an exception?"
Let's just consider it a delay in reporting our internal mall activities.
If you confiscate the equipment, our preparations for tomorrow's food festival will be completely paralyzed.
The squadron leader looked at Secretary Chen in front of him, then at the team, and weighed his options in his mind.
If this were just a street vendor obstructing traffic, he would have confiscated their goods and taken them away.
However, now that the property owner of the plaza has come forward to endorse the activity as being "within the property's red line," the nature of the activity has changed from "occupying the road for business" to "activities within the shopping mall without complete permits," which gives the plaza room to operate normally.
Moreover, since Yintai Group has made its position clear, as long as it does not affect public transportation and safety, they have no reason to forcibly impound the vehicle.
The squadron leader pondered for a moment, then put the business card away.
"Since it's an internal trial operation project within your property's boundaries, its nature is indeed different."
"However, incomplete procedures are a violation."
Since your group has provided a guarantee, we can waive the temporary detention of this equipment today.
But I must issue a rectification notice.
"Thank you so much for your understanding, comrade!"
We will complete the formalities as soon as possible!
Secretary Chen immediately expressed his gratitude.
The squad leader took out his ticket book, quickly wrote out a ticket, and handed it to Lin Chen, who was standing to the side.
"Mr. Lin, right? Please sign the form. Before the mall completes all the formalities for you, please pay attention to fire safety."
If there is another large-scale blockage of the passageway, we will still impose fines.
"Understood. Thank you for your hard work."
Lin Chen took the pen and signed his name on the form.
"Fall back!"
The squad leader put away the ticket and waved to the two team members.
The four law enforcement officers turned around and returned to their patrol car.
"Buzz"
The flashing red and blue warning lights gradually faded into the distance as the law enforcement vehicle drove out of the square and quickly disappeared at the end of the street.
Seeing the law enforcement vehicle leave, Wang Hai, who had been on tenterhooks, breathed a sigh of relief and plopped down on a small stool next to him.
The surrounding diners also breathed a sigh of relief.
Beside the folding table, Su Qingxue gently rubbed Tangtang's little head.
"Tangtang, look, Auntie said no one can take Daddy's pot away, right?"
Tangtang nodded vigorously, tears still glistening in her big eyes, but a happy smile spread across her face.
"Yes! Pretty aunties are the best!"
The little girl stopped crying and started laughing, hugging Su Qingxue's arm tightly and rubbing her face affectionately against her clothes.
