Dashing Student-Chapter 662, Bullying by Power

Hearing the noise outside.

Bai Zhi's face changed dramatically, and her delicate willow leaf eyebrows instantly knitted into a twist. Clearly, she had not expected the fire department to make a sudden visit.

What was even more unbelievable was that they came to order the immediate closure of her beauty salon for rectification.

It requires understanding that Bai Zhi had poured her heart and soul into this beauty salon, from its preparation to its opening, and it had been in business for less than a week.

Before opening, all the necessary documents had been strictly reviewed, and every facility was ensured to be flawless. How could there possibly be any fire hazards?

"Auntie, if I'm not mistaken, Yiren Square must be causing trouble behind the scenes," Chen Nan quickly adjusted his collar, analyzing in a firm tone. "Your business has been so good that it's undoubtedly affecting Yiren Square's interests."

"They didn't gain an upper hand when they came looking for trouble before, so this time they must have resorted to underhanded tactics!" A gleam of cold light flashed in Chen Nan's eyes as he spoke.

He had not yet settled old scores with Yiren Square, but he did not expect them to be so relentless, seeking trouble for her beauty salon once again.

This was indeed intolerable!

Bai Zhi's face grew even darker, her hands clenched into tight fists, her knuckles turning white: "I never expected the business community in the provincial city to be so complicated."

"I just want to run my beauty salon honestly, yet Yiren Square behaves like a mad dog that can't be shaken off."

She took a deep breath, trying to calm her emotions, tidied her slightly disheveled clothes, and walked out with determined steps.

In the lobby on the first floor, two uniformed firefighters were standing by the front desk.

The middle-aged firefighter, arms crossed, spoke with an arrogant expression in an unquestionable tone: "The width of your fire escape is clearly not up to standard, and your safety signs are not conspicuous enough."

"If a fire breaks out, the consequences would be unimaginable!"

Bai Zhi suppressed her inner anger, forcing a professional smile on her face: "Comrades, we passed the fire safety inspection before opening."

"May I ask if this inspection is routine, or...?"

"This is a newly issued regulation." The young firefighter impatiently interrupted her, his tone perfunctory: "We must strictly follow the new standards!"

Bai Zhi's heart sank, a chill running up from her feet.

She tried to stay calm and continued politely: "How long will the rectification take?"

The middle-aged firefighter sneered coldly, a mocking smile appearing at the corner of his mouth: "At least one month."

Bai Zhi's face turned as white as a sheet, her lips trembling slightly, her nails digging deep into her palms.

Her beauty salon had been open for less than a week. If it were closed for a month, business would definitely be affected even if it reopened.

Bai Zhi took a deep breath and tried to restrain her anger, "Can you specify which passage does not meet the standard? I can take you there to check immediately."

The middle-aged firefighter shot her a glance, his eyes indifferent: "No need to check. The measurement results are accurate."

He then pulled a document from his pocket: "These are the inspection records, clearly detailed."

Bai Zhi took the document, quickly scanning its contents.

The handwriting was neat, and the data was detailed, but her intuition told her that there was something wrong with the report.

Her fingers trembled slightly, but she maintained her composure on the surface: "This report is dated today, while our pre-opening inspection records show that all data met the requirements."

"How do you explain this contradiction, comrades?"

The middle-aged firefighter's expression changed slightly but regained his composure quickly: "You must be mistaken."

His tone was firm, leaving no room for doubt: "The rectification notice has been issued. Now, please cooperate with our work!"

Bai Zhi took a deep breath and turned to look at Chen Nan.

Chen Nan was standing nearby, his gaze like an eagle's, fixed on the two firefighters.

Bai Zhi gave a slight nod, signaling him to check the specifics.

Chen Nan quickly walked to the fire escape, took a tape measure from his pocket, and carefully measured the width of the passage.

His frown deepened, his gaze growing colder.

Finally, he turned around, looking coldly at the two firefighters: "The passage is 1.2 meters wide, fully compliant with national standards. It seems your measurement results are incorrect."

The middle-aged firefighter's face turned dark immediately, his gaze sharp: "Young man, don't think that using a ruler allows you to question the professional judgment of experts!"

"I'm not questioning." Chen Nan's tone was calm but forceful, "It's a fact. If you doubt our data, you can verify it at the fire bureau archive room."

Anger flashed in the middle-aged firefighter's eyes, and he snorted heavily: "It seems you're asking for trouble. Since that's the case, the rectification will be indefinite!"

Hearing this, Bai Zhi's face turned completely pale, clearly not expecting that they would impose an indefinite rectification!

"What blatant bullying!" Chen Nan said with a bitter laugh, "You use your little bit of power to oppress ordinary people. Today, I want to see who dares to close Yiren Square!"

With that, he picked up his phone and directly called the former governor of East Mountain Province, now the Municipal Committee Secretary, Hu Zhenguo.

Seeing Chen Nan making a call, the two firefighters looked dismissive, not believing that Chen Nan knew any important figures.

Soon, Hu Zhenguo answered Chen Nan's call.

Chen Nan got straight to the point: "Uncle Hu, I'm in the high-tech zone..."

"It's like this."

"My aunt just opened a beauty salon, and now some firefighters are here, demanding we close down for rectification, citing noncompliance with fire safety standards."

Chen Nan usually didn't like using his connections, but this time he had no choice, as the other party was from the fire department.

"Wait there, I'll send someone over right away!" Hu Zhenguo said politely before hanging up. frёeωebɳovel.com

"Auntie, don't worry. No one can close Yiren Square today." Chen Nan put away his phone, a faint, enigmatic smile spreading across his face.

Bai Zhi didn't know who Chen Nan had called, but she had a near-blind faith in him. Since he said it, her beauty salon would surely continue to operate.

The middle-aged firefighter snorted coldly: "Refuse to cooperate, and even the highest authorities can't stop the suspension!"

Chen Nan ignored the two and started planning how to take down Yiren Square. Only by thoroughly defeating Yiren Square could they avoid further trouble.

Very soon.

A fire department vehicle appeared outside, and an irate middle-aged man in his forties emerged, followed by a bespectacled man in his thirties.

As soon as the two appeared, the faces of the two firefighters changed dramatically. They hadn't expected their director and the Provincial Committee Secretary's chief secretary to appear here...
