I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week

Chapter 4172: Chapter 4160: Joy Turns to Sorrow

Jiang Wenhui sat beside him, exceptionally surprised.

They really came as Lin Yi said, bringing the things back to her.

Seeing this scene, the passersby didn’t think much about it.

They just considered it an embarrassing mix-up; the others returned the items and expressed their apologies, which means there’s nothing more to it.

But the middle-aged man selling balloons next to them was different.

This event was orchestrated by him, so he knew exactly how it all went down and never dreamed that something like this would happen.

"Thank you for your help in getting my business license sorted out."

Seeing Lin Yi’s sarcastic smile, the two were frightened into sweating bullets, fearing that if he continued to pursue this matter, they would be out of work.

"No need to thank us; it’s just something we should do. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, just call us, and we’ll do our very best to help you out."

"Actually, I do have a bit of trouble right now."

Lin Yi looked at the middle-aged man and said, "I’m quite interested to know whether he has the proper business credentials, and I hope you’ll investigate to ensure a positive street vending environment."

The middle-aged man panicked, entirely unprepared for the situation to be directed at himself.

The two walked over to the middle-aged man; one of them was his cousin, aware of his situation, but now they had to act according to protocol without hesitation.

"Take out your business permit so I can have a look."

The middle-aged man froze in place, stammering for some time without being able to say a single word.

"I don’t have a business permit..."

"Without a business permit, you can’t set up a stall here. We’re fining you 2000, now take your things and come with us to pay the fine."

"This..."

"No more hemming and hawing, take your things and come along."

Feeling helpless, the middle-aged man was taken away, Lin Yi remarked:

"Bro, I’m really sorry. Seeing you set up a stall so grandly, I assumed your paperwork was all in order. But you can’t blame anyone else, lacking the necessary permits, how could you dare set up shop?"

"Watch your words, don’t go too far!"

"I don’t like hearing that. What part is too far? Wasn’t everything I said the truth?" Lin Yi said:

"If you’re not convinced, go get your business permit sorted and then come back and set up shop."

Faced with Lin Yi’s jab, the middle-aged man had nothing more to say and could only leave in frustration.

The people around still didn’t take this to heart, nor did anyone feel Lin Yi had gone too far.

Because he was caught right at the start, only for everyone to recognize it turned out to be a mistake.

Thus, others must be treated equally, and these issues should be properly checked.

"I get it now, he must be jealous of my good business, and reported me!" Jiang Wenhui said, slowly realizing.

"You took your sweet time putting that together," Lin Yi replied with a smile.

"I’m not as sharp as you, I honestly didn’t think along those lines."

"You might be thinking too well of everyone, but this world isn’t like what you imagine."

"Ugh, I’m only responsible for myself, not others."

"But sometimes, being able to manage yourself is a skill in itself."

"You’re right."

Lin Yi chuckled, "It’s about time, let’s pack up and go, Xu Ying should be getting off work soon."

"Mm-hmm."

The two packed their things into room 810 and then returned to Shengda Square.

Here the doors close at 10 pm, workers generally rotate in shifts, the morning shift ends at 8, while the evening shift finishes at 10.

When Xu Ying was getting off work, there were still many people inside shopping.

Standing before the store, they saw Xu Ying talking with a colleague, waiting a bit for her to change clothes, then they could leave.

After waiting more than ten minutes, Xu Ying came out of the store.

She wore denim shorts with a white short-sleeved shirt, and sporting shoes, her long legs particularly eye-catching among the crowd.

Xu Ying picked up her bag and quickened her pace, but at that moment, a middle-aged man approached her.

He wore a suit and uniform, a badge over his chest, labeled as Shang Yunlong, the manager of the mall.

"Little Xu, off work now?"

Xu Ying smiled and nodded, considering it as greeting, but seeming like there’s nothing more to say.

"Getting used to the first day at work? Encounter any difficulties?"

Shang Yunlong smiled sleazily, standing very close to Xu Ying, completely ignoring the look of disdain on her face.

"Everything’s good, no problems at all."

"You’ve just started, so not having trouble is normal, but that doesn’t mean that’ll always be the case."

Shang Yunlong spoke earnestly, "Here’s the thing, I’m about to finish work soon too, let’s grab a meal together, I can fill you in on these matters, and guide you more in the future. If problems arise, you’ll know how to handle them."

Upon hearing Shang Yunlong’s proposal, Jiang Wenhui glanced at Lin Yi and whispered:

"Why do I feel this person isn’t quite right, seems intentionally getting close to Little Ying."

"This time, your reaction was quite impressive, you reacted quickly."

"Oh come on, I’m not always reacting slowly, but I reckon he’s up to no good."

"Let Little Ying handle it herself, she shouldn’t have any issues."

Compared to Jiang Wenhui, Xu Ying was more adept in dealing with such situations, likely to handle it well.

"Manager Shang, sorry I can’t join for dinner, I have plans with someone else, need to go now, bye."

Saying that, Xu Ying quickened her pace towards Lin Yi, clasping his arm.

While turning back to glance at Shang Yunlong, she deliberately said, "Manager Shang, I’m off now."

Shang Yunlong’s expression turned awkward, "Go ahead."

"Lin Bro, let’s go quickly, that sleazy guy’s too gross, now I’m so bothered I can’t stand anyone else."

The three walked out of the mall, Xu Ying releasing Lin Yi’s arm.

"Seriously disgusting, ran into such a sleaze on my first day at work."

All the way Xu Ying ranted furiously, almost cursing Shang Yunlong’s ancestors’ grave.

She was much more combative than Jiang Wenhui.

"You’ll be working here going forward, and since he’s the mall manager, you’ll have to deal with him often—what if he continues to harass you?" Jiang Wenhui questioned.

"Hopefully not, since I walked arm-in-arm with Lin Bro. Unless he’s blind, he’d see we’re a couple, and persisting with this approach would seem quite clueless."

"I think Sister Hui makes a valid point; you should be prepared for this," Lin Yi said.

"Then he’s really shameless."

"Judging by his age, he’s likely married, yet coming to harass you shows he doesn’t care, so whether you have a boyfriend won’t affect him. You should be prepared for his harassment and plan ahead."
