Strongest Deceptive System

Shang Liang looked at the owner and said: "Boss, since I brought up this matter with you, I am naturally here to help you."    

    

Hearing Shang Liang's words, the shop owner was a lot more relieved.    

    

Sophia was confused by their words, and asked suspiciously: "Shang, what are you two talking about?! How could I not understand a thing about a century-old business in crisis! "    

    

"Ha ha!" Shang Liang laughed and said: "Sophia, you will understand very soon."    

    

The owner asked sincerely, "Sir, what should I do next?"    

    

Shang Liang rolled his eyes, and said snappily: "Boss, you still haven't told me the exact sequence of events, how do you want me to guide you on your next move?"    

    

"Huh?" The owner looked confused. "I thought that you already knew."    

    

"Although I know that your roast duck restaurant will meet with a crisis that will cause your hundred years of foundation to be destroyed, I still need to understand the specifics." Shang Liang explained.    

    

If it wasn't for the system suddenly issuing this quest of friendship, Shang Liang really would have slapped his ass and left right away!    

    

"Oh, I understand." The owner nodded and said, "Sir, this matter is like this. A few days before our roast duck restaurant, we hired a few chefs. Because our roast duck restaurant is renowned in the outside world, the chefs we hire are all first-class famous chefs. One of the famous chef's names is Peng Peng, he is especially shrewd, within the month of our roast duck restaurant, he actually stole our Crispy Roast Duck secret recipe, and even threatened to open another roast duck restaurant opposite of our roast duck restaurant, to squeeze my business. For a shop like ours, the secret recipe is the basis for opening the store. Once the secret recipe is leaked to the public, the business will definitely plummet. "    

    

"So that's how it is." Shang Liang looked at the door in front of him and asked suspiciously: "But looking at the door on the other side, there are no indications of being renovated, it doesn't look like they are preparing to open a roast duck restaurant!"    

    

The owner continued, "Later on, I found Peng Peng and the two of us discussed an agreement. Peng Peng promised me to not leak the secret recipe, but Peng Peng wanted to take 60% of the store's shares."    

    

"This is simply a blatant robbery!" When Sophia heard this, she groaned and said, "What a wild ambition, you're even more ruthless than me."    

    

Shang Liang then asked: "Boss, you agreed?"    

    

"Nope." The owner shook his head, "This contract is so overbearing, how could I agree!?" The moment I nod in agreement, I believe that it won't be long before the roast duck restaurant left behind by my ancestors will fall into Peng Peng's hands. "    

    

"So, you are in a stalemate?" Shang Liang thought.    

    

"Well, you can say so." The shop owner said, "However, Peng Peng is a man of vast connections, and knows a lot of government officials. From time to time, he would find some supervisors to pick on me. At this rate, I believe that it won't be long before my guests die. "    

    

Just as the owner finished his sentence, the waiter's voice came from the lobby, "Boss, the head of the Health Bureau is here!"    

    

When the owner heard this, he could not help but smile bitterly and said, "Sir, look, the leader of the Bureau of Industry and Commerce just arrived this morning. He said that he wanted to check if I had evaded taxes. This afternoon, the head of the Health Bureau came to check on food hygiene. "    

    

"I didn't expect that this Peng Peng, would actually have such great capabilities! "To be able to mobilize so many leaders of the Municipal Public Security Bureau!" Shang Liang squinted his eyes and said: "Boss, you don't have to worry, let's go out and take a look!"    

    

With that, Shang Liang stood up and walked out of the room with the shop owner.    

    

Arriving at the main hall, he saw a few men in suits and leather shoes, carrying briefcase in their hands. There were both men and women, and they looked like civil servants. Upon seeing the shop owner, the person in the lead took out a piece of white paper that was densely covered in black words, waved it in front of the shop owner, and said: "Boss, we are following the orders from the higher ups, and request for an examination of your roast duck restaurant's sanitary environment."    

    

The owner said: "Leader, our roast duck restaurant's cleanliness has always been up to standard!"    

    

The person in the lead gave a muffled grunt and said, "If you don't meet the standard, it's not up to you to decide."    

    

After saying that, the leader of the group waved his hand, signalling a few civil servants to go and check. A few civil servants brought various inspection tools into the back kitchen. After checking for a while, they returned to the hall.    

    

The owner walked up to the man in the lead and secretly pressed a few bills into his hand. He whispered, "Leader, thank you for your hard work. Here is my tea money. Please accept it!"    

    

The leader quietly put the few bills into his pocket.    

    

Shang Liang saw all of this happen.    

    

The leader of the group asked, "How was the test?"    

    

One of the civil servants replied, "Report, for the time being, I haven't found any areas that have exceeded the standards. However, I found out in the kitchen that there are a few roast ducks that were leftover a few days ago.    

    

Upon hearing the civil servant's words, the owner immediately argued with a flushed face, "Don't speak nonsense. The roasted duck in our store is only provided with a limited amount every day. There is no overnight meal at all."    

    

"Do you mean, to question our test results?" The man in the lead grunted and said with dissatisfaction, "Boss, since you are the first offender, we will give you three days to carry out the rectification." In three days, we'll check in. At that time, if we find out about this problem again, don't blame us for being impolite. "    

    

After he finished speaking, the person in the lead led these civil servants out of the roast duck restaurant.    

    

Looking at their retreating backs, the owner could not help but sigh, "This kind of endless inspection, when did it end?"    

    

"The answer bell also needs to be a bell person. If we want to completely solve this problem, the root of it all still lies with Peng Peng. " Shang Liang said to the shop owner, "Today you will pay the head of the Health Bureau, tomorrow you will pay the head of the Business Bureau, and the day after that you will pay the head of the Environment Bureau. "This is a bottomless pit, no matter how much money you earn, it won't be enough."    

    

The owner respectfully replied, "Sir, please uphold justice for me."    

    

"Boss, I see you are like this." Shang Liang said, "You bring Peng Peng out, and I will negotiate with him on your behalf."    

    

"Alright." Hearing Shang Liang's words, the owner immediately took out his phone, "I'll call Peng Peng right now and ask this bastard out."    

    

With that, the owner called Peng Peng.    

    

After the call ended, the owner said to Shang Liang: "Peng Peng will be there in a while."
