At the Trade and Commerce Centre.

The person in charge said, “President Huang, I know. Thanks. I have sent someone to handle this.”

“Yeah, the shops must have the relevant supporting documents. We will never allow shop owners to set up businesses without them.”

“President Huang is such a wise man to have thought about this matter. It is really impressive. Right, this is a superstition. How could we let people believe in this? I got people to handle it. How can I let President Huang ask about it personally? When the results are out, I will tell President Huang about it immediately. Alright, I’ll hang up now.”

After hanging up.

The person in charge shook his head and sighed.

At Cloud Street.

“Hi, Master Lin. I am Xiao Zhao from the Trade and Commerce Centre. We have received a report that you reported yourself as an unemployed citizen. Therefore, I am here to investigate it and would like to find out more about it,” Xiao Zhao said politely.

Master Lin was the good role model of Shanghai. He just didn’t know which fella reported Master Lin and even called their director.

They definitely had to have a satisfactory reply to the authority about this.

Lin Fan was helpless. He had never expected Huang Guo Hui to do this to him.

Huang Guo Hui was incorrigible. He thought that he would send ten men to destroy his shop but he didn’t expect Huang Guo Hui to do this to him.

He was rather disappointed.

The shop renovation happened a while back and he wanted to renovate it again but nobody was willing to help him.

Then, Elder Liang walked by and he was unhappy when he heard that. “Bro, does Little Boss seem like a scammer? Ask the people around and see if Little Boss is really accurate with his predictions.”

Xiao Zhao replied, “Mister, I did not mean that. It was just that someone reported his job as a superstition. Furthermore, his main profession is fortune-telling. He went to our Trade and Commerce Centre to get his fake certificate.”

Elder Liang was anxious, “Then why did you say that Little Boss is spreading superstitious ideas?”

Lin Fan interrupted, “Alright, Elder Liang, don’t argue with this fella. He didn’t say anything at all but you’re so anxious. Doesn’t that mean that you’re guilty?”

Elder Liang glared at Xiao Zhao and stood aside, “I’ll shut up then. Anyway, these people are just messing with you.”

Xiao Zhao was a little awkward. They weren’t really messing with him. They were doing it based on their rules. Those with official certificates would be spared from this. That would prevent the public from being scammed too. Even if they were to be scammed, they still had the information to check on the scammers. That would be much simpler for their investigation process.

Lin Fan said seriously, “I’ll explain it. We read fortunes here but I am not spreading superstitious ideas. However, my predictions are absolutely spot on. If people were to say that I am spreading superstitious ideas, they can come and examine it.”

Xiao Zhao felt that Master Lin was a little angry. He immediately replied, “Master Lin, I didn’t want to say anything when I came here. I’m here to resolve your problems. Our manager said that Master Lin is the role model of Shanghai. Why would you spread superstitious ideas? Hence, I am here to get some information to help you create an official certificate.”

Lin Fan felt a little awkward. He felt like he misunderstood him. “Sorry, I was a little too rash with my words. I am really a fortune teller. How should we proceed with the certification?”

Xiao Zhao replied, “Master Lin, perhaps you don’t really understand it. If you said that you’re a fortune-teller, you will not be able to get a certificate. However, if you say that you’re doing some cultural research work, then, there will be no problems. There are a lot of fortune-tellers now with shops that have certificates. They managed to do it by declaring that.”

“Oh, I see.” Lin Fan understood it. He didn’t know that it was being played like that. However, that was good. The earlier he could get his certificate, he would run into less trouble in the future. “What do you need from me, then?”

Xiao Zhao smiled, “I just need a photocopy of your identification. Then, fill up a form and we will contact you when it is ready.”

“Alright, sorry to trouble you then.” Lin Fan smiled. He didn’t expect it to be resolved this way. However, he guaranteed that the person that reported him was Huang Guo Hui.

He just didn’t expect the worker from the Trade and Commerce Centre to have offered help. This was totally unexpected.

However, he understood it after thinking about it.

Although Huang Guo Hui was powerful, he wasn’t a Shanghai citizen. Furthermore, Lin Fan was the role model of Shanghai. How could anyone go up against him?

So what if Huang Guo Hui was really unhappy? The worker was just doing his job based on the rules. He was just doing legal procedures and he didn’t abuse his power. Even if he were to report it secretly, Lin Fan wouldn’t be afraid at all.

Everything was settled.

Xiao Zhao took the documents, “Master Lin, I’ll be making a move first. I think it should be ready in about two days.”

“Alright, thanks,” Lin Fan smiled and said.

At the Trade and Commerce Centre!

Xiao Zhao returned, “Sir, I have spoken to Master Lin and got others to process his documents.”

His manager replied, “Alright, that’s good. When it is done, just inform Master Lin to come and collect it.”

When Xiao Zhao left, his manager called Huang Guo Hui.

“President Huang, sorry to disturb you. I am calling to report on the work. The investigation results are out.”

Huang Guo Hui immediately sneered.

He went to look for this fella to have his fortune read but this fella didn’t even give him any face. At the same time, he spoke with such a horrendous tone. If he didn’t teach him a lesson, he wouldn’t have known how powerful he was.

With his status as a wealthy man, he was able to make life difficult for him with just one call.

He wanted his shop to close down.

Then, he would report it to the media and Lin Fan would not be able to open a shop so soon.

“How’re the results?” Huang Guo Hui asked with anticipation.

The manager replied, “We have to thank President Huang for your report this time. If not for you, we wouldn’t have found out about the illegal shops. Therefore, I got my worker to speak with the shop owner to process his certificate. Now that he has one, it wouldn’t be illegal anymore.”

Huang Guo Hui was initially filled with anticipation but as he continued listening, he realized that something was wrong.

“What? That isn’t correct. He is spreading superstitious ideas. How could he continue with his operation?”

The manager smiled, “President Huang, I think you don’t really understand it. Fortune-telling is something used frequently by the public. It is something that is against the rules. However, it can be considered to be a cultural research work.”

“This time, it’s a slip-up on our part and President Huang has pointed it out. In the future, we will definitely do stricter checks. We will not let this happen again. Alright, I won’t waste any of Chief Huang’s precious time anymore.”

Huang Guo Hui wasn’t stupid. He knew that the Trade and Commerce Centre was on Master Lin’s side. Then, he sneered, “Alright, good…”

The manager replied, “Thank you, President Huang, for your compliment. In the future, if President Huang would like to set up a company in Shanghai, the Trade and Commerce Centre will warmly welcome you.”

*bang*

Huang Guo Hui immediately slammed his phone. He didn’t want to say anything else.

It was incorrigible, truly incorrigible.

The manager looked at his phone and laughed.

He knew what Huang Guo Hui was thinking. He clearly wanted to mess up Master Lin’s shop. How could he let that happen?

That was impossible.

It was already illegal for him to abuse his authority. What was worse was that he was trying to go against Master Lin, who was the role model of Shanghai.

He didn’t want to think about whether Huang Guo Hui would take revenge again.

Shanghai wasn’t like the other cities. The notable leaders in the other cities had to give in to the requests to satisfy them.

In Shanghai, people didn’t care about what the wealthy people wanted. If they were willing to help, that would be good. If not, they didn’t want to be involved in anything.

There were a lot of entrepreneurs that wanted to come to Shanghai to develop their businesses but they often had to go through a lot of difficulties in order to get a plot of land.

There were a lot of entrepreneurs around but only a handful was like Master Lin.

He was a talented and cultured man.

Meanwhile, Huang Guo Hui was furious. He was about to vent his anger but his office door got opened.

“Huang Guo Hui, you have to give me an answer today,” a middle-aged lady stormed into the room.
