Solving Middle Age Crisis by Intelligence System Chapter 432 - 275: Don’t Buy Baisha Cigarettes—They’re Harsh

Nima nodded and followed the direction the boss was pointing, finally choosing three small knives, each fifteen centiters long, from the shelf on the right.

"How much in total?"

"Six yuan each, eighteen yuan in total," the boss glanced at him, "You buying so many to cut waterlons? No returns on what I sell, you know."

Nima nodded with a smile, "Yeah, I’m afraid the blade might chip."

...

9:30 PM, Hutao Villa.

Inside the private room, Qi Yun had just sat down when the waiter led Shao Yuewen through the door.

"Sorry for the wait, a last-minute thing at work held up."

Qi Yun stood up to greet him, understandingly teasing, "Haha, brother-in-law, you’re always busy with affairs for us common folks. Waiting for you is the least I can do."

Shao Yuewen smiled and pointed at him, "You cheeky guy."

Since his wife had acknowledged Qi Yun as a brother, it was only natural for him to call Shao Yuewen brother-in-law.

The waiter served them tea and left.

Before Qi Yun could speak, Shao Yuewen proactively took a file from his bag and placed it in front of Qi Yun.

"Your security company license has co through."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yun’s eyes lit up. In fact, he invited Shao Yuewen for dinner today specifically to inquire about the progress of this matter.

In China, starting a private security company isn’t easy. Not only do security personnel need to have professional security qualifications, but they must also have years of industry experience.

The most crucial part is the approval process. Besides the business license procedures, the most challenging are the Public Security approvals. You need clearance from both city and district Public Security departnts to operate legally.

These approval processes are extrely strict. Without so strong connections, it’s almost impossible to get them done.

It was during a visit to Shao Yuewen’s ho that Qi Yun sought help from Shao’s sister-in-law, who then used her father’s connections to get it done.

Although Qi Yun didn’t pay any material price for this, he did owe them a huge favor.

In short, private security companies in China are not sothing just anyone can manage.

"Please thank Sister Lan for when you go back." Qi Yun briefly scanned the approval docunt and set it aside, then picked up a black plastic bag from the wooden floor and pushed it in front of Shao Yuewen.

"What’s this supposed to an?" Shao Yuewen casually joked as he looked at the plastic bag in front of him, "Are you trying to bribe ?"

Qi Yun chuckled along, not missing a chance to flatter, "Everyone knows Minister Shao is incorruptible and honest, wouldn’t trying to bribe you just be asking for trouble?"

As he spoke, he opened the plastic bag, revealing a slightly yellow-tinted wine bottle, "This is a bottle of Moutai I’ve kept for years, from 1980, there’s only this one bottle left, and I couldn’t bear to drink it myself."

"I specifically brought it today for you to enjoy, take it ho and give it a try."

Shao Yuewen listened and picked up the bottle to have a look, smiling, "You sure know what you’re doing, then I won’t be polite with you."

"No need to be polite! Seriously, don’t be!" Qi Yun waved his hand repeatedly.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Co in!" Qi Yun called out.

The wooden door opened, and a woman in her thirties, with a very gentle and elegant deanor, stepped inside, carrying two bottles of special liquor.

"Two distinguished guests are here."

This woman was none other than Lu Zhaoxue, the restaurant owner they had t before.

As soon as Lu Zhaoxue appeared, Qi Yun’s eyes froze, and he didn’t snap out of it until she walked up to them.

"Haha, what distinguished guests? We know you’re busy, didn’t an to disturb you." Shao Yuewen casually responded.

Lu Zhaoxue placed the bottles on the table, and as her eyes t Qi Yun’s, she noticed him staring at her and blushed slightly, pretending to be shy.

Shao Yuewen noticed this, turned to look at Qi Yun beside him, with a strange expression on his face.

"Ahem~"

A light cough brought Qi Yun back to his senses. He turned to look at Shao Yuewen, realizing his rudeness, and smiled apologetically at Lu Zhaoxue, explaining, "Sorry, President Lu, seeing you reminded of soone."

"Oh?" Lu Zhaoxue blinked her beautiful eyes, feigning curiosity, "Who did Mr. Qi think of?"

Qi Yun shook his head, "I don’t know her na, I just had a brief encounter with her in Shanghai before, and I thought she looked a lot like you, President Lu."
