Chapter 126 Payment and Goods Cleared
The top floor of Yintai Building, the president's office area.
"Ding!"
The elevator doors opened.
Secretary Chen walked out of the elevator carrying a packed insulated bag.
She walked straight through the corridor to the CEO's office, only to find the door ajar and no one inside.
I glanced at the conference room not far away. The door was closed, but I could vaguely hear project reports coming from inside.
Secretary Chen pushed open the door to the president's office, placed the insulated bag on the coffee table next to the desk, and stood aside to wait.
About ten minutes later.
The meeting room door opened.
Several senior executives came out carrying documents.
Su Qingxue walked at the very back.
She rubbed her slightly furrowed brow and stepped into the office.
The long meeting made her look a little tired.
"President Su."
Secretary Chen stepped forward to greet him.
Su Qingxue nodded and walked straight to the sofa to sit down.
"I brought back the fried rice and soup, and they're at the perfect temperature."
As Secretary Chen spoke, he opened the insulated bag and took out the takeout box containing fried rice and a bowl of soup, placing them on the coffee table.
As the lid was lifted, the aroma of scallion oil mixed with the savory flavor of chicken broth filled the office.
Su Qingxue picked up a wet wipe from the side, wiped her hands, picked up a spoon, scooped up a spoonful of fried rice and put it in her mouth.
"Is everything taken care of?"
While eating, Su Qingxue casually asked.
"The handover has been completed."
Secretary Chen stood aside and reported: "The site certificate and health registration form have been handed over to Boss Lin."
He checked all the fees on the spot.
Secretary Chen paused briefly before adding, "Boss Lin directly requested the mall's corporate account and transferred the money into the group's financial account according to the standard amount of 37,500."
Su Qingxue paused slightly while chewing before swallowing the rice in her mouth.
She picked up the bowl of hot soup, took a sip, her expression calm, and there was no surprise in her eyes.
This is why she insisted that Secretary Chen charge fees according to the proper procedures.
Lin Chen has a strong sense of principle. If he doesn't accept money, the favor will become a form of pressure.
With prices clearly marked and payment settled, everyone can get along more naturally.
"Boss Lin is a man of principle."
Su Qingxue put down her soup bowl and continued eating the fried rice in front of her. "This matter is settled. There's no need to deliberately interfere with his stall anymore. Just treat him as a normal merchant in the mall."
"clear."
Secretary Chen nodded and made a note of it.
"Alright, if there's nothing else, you can go ahead and do your work. Get off work early."
Su Qingxue gave an instruction.
"Okay, Mr. Su, please enjoy your meal."
Secretary Chen didn't disturb him any further, turned around and left the office, closing the door behind him.
……
At the same time.
The area around the flowerbeds on the first floor of Yintai Plaza was bustling with activity.
As the sun completely set, the streetlights around the square came on.
The queue in front of Lin Chen's stall was packed.
Lin Chen stood in front of the stove, his iron ladle flying in his hands, his movements steady and deliberate.
The clanging sound of the iron pot and spoon colliding became the clearest rhythm in this corner.
"It's packed up, hold on tight!"
Wang Hai handed two servings of fried rice to the customers in front of him, then turned and called out, "Next!"
Those at the back of the line stepped forward.
Wang Hai was about to grab a takeout box when he looked up and burst out laughing.
Standing at the front of the line was Captain Zhang of the square security department, dressed in uniform, followed by two young security guards.
"Brother Zhang!"
Wang Hai greeted them with a big smile, "Taking the brothers on patrol today?"
Captain Zhang smiled and said, "I just finished the night shift, and it's time for dinner."
"I've been craving this smell all day, so I brought the guys over for a bite."
"no problem!"
Wang Hai greeted them warmly, "Brother Zhang, how many portions would you three like?"
"Three servings of fried rice, and three bowls of soup, please."
Captain Zhang took out his phone to scan the QR code.
"Alright! Brother Chen, three servings of fried rice!"
Wang Hai turned around and shouted at Lin Chen.
Lin Chen continued working, glanced up at Captain Zhang, and nodded slightly in greeting: "Please wait a moment."
While Lin Chen was making fried rice, Captain Zhang took a step forward, leaned against the stall, and chatted with Wang Hai.
"Wang Hai, your operation is now officially part of the regular army in the square."
Captain Zhang said.
Wang Hai handed him a cigarette and said with a smile, "Brother Zhang, I'll have to rely on the brothers in the security department to take care of me in the future."
Captain Zhang took the cigarette, tucked it behind his ear, and waved his hand: "There's no need to talk about looking out for each other. Everyone should just follow the rules."
This afternoon, Manager Zhou from the property management department specifically called to say that you are legally registered merchants in the mall.
Captain Zhang glanced at Lin Chen, who was tossing the food in the wok, and lowered his voice: "Manager Zhou instructed that if your stall encounters any trouble in the future, or if someone is jealous and tries to cause trouble, you don't need to fight it yourself. Just come to our security department to resolve it."
Upon hearing this, Wang Hai's smile deepened.
"Please thank Manager Zhou for us, and also Brother Zhang and the rest of the team!"
Wang Hai said, "We know the rules and will never cause trouble for the mall."
"Um."
Captain Zhang nodded.
At this point, Captain Zhang gestured with his chin toward the lobby on the first floor and casually mentioned, "The manager of the Western restaurant who reported you yesterday evening has been fired by their headquarters this noon."
"From now on, just focus on your business; no one will bother you anymore."
Wang Hai was stunned for a moment, then gasped.
He knew that President Su was powerful, but he didn't expect her to act so decisively. In just one day, she got that manager fired.
"That was fast enough."
Wang Hai muttered something to himself.
At this moment, Lin Chen turned down the heat.
He put three servings of fried rice into a takeout box and pushed it in front of Wang Hai.
"Captain Zhang, here's your food."
Lin Chen spoke up.
Wang Hai snapped out of his daze, packed the lunchbox into a bag, and then filled three bowls with mung bean soup, handing them all to Captain Zhang.
Captain Zhang scanned the QR code to pay.
Tangtang, who had been sitting on a small stool nearby, saw Captain Zhang take the bag and immediately grabbed three disposable spoons from the small basket and ran over.
"Uncle Zhang, here are your spoons!"
Tangtang tilted her little face up and handed over the spoon with both hands, saying, "You have to eat it all!"
Looking at the well-behaved and sensible little girl in front of him, Captain Zhang and the two security guards behind him were all amused.
"Thank you, Tangtang!"
Captain Zhang bent down to take the spoon, smiling as he said, "Don't worry, the uncles will definitely finish it."
Tangtang happily showed her two little tiger teeth, turned around and ran back to her little stool to sit down.
"Alright, Mr. Lin, you guys keep busy. We're going to eat over there."
Captain Zhang, carrying a packing bag, waved to the two men and led the security guards to an open space not far away.
"Take care, Brother Zhang!"
Wang Hai waved goodbye.
Lin Chen nodded slightly and watched them leave.
After seeing Captain Zhang off, Lin Chen turned around and picked up a dry towel to wipe his hands.
He glanced at the long queue outside the flower bed.
"Brother Chen, there are still quite a few people in line behind us!"
Wang Hai picked up an empty takeout box and called out.
"They're here."
Lin Chen reached out and gripped the wooden handle of the iron spoon again.
