The workers came out from the kitchen. One of them held a sheet of paper in his hands as he looked at the boss indifferently. "The hygiene in your noodle shop doesn't meet the requirements. It will be closed temporarily. Whenever you've cleaned it up, come to us again to apply for the reopening."
The outcome was simple. It didn't meet the requirements and it had to be closed down temporarily. But to the boss, this was plain slander.
This was just a small shop and his whole family relied on it for a living. If it were to close down, who knew when it would be able to open up again?
He was very aware of things. Negotiating with these people was not simple at all. If they really wanted to screw him over, they would be able to find all kinds of problems even if his shop was very well-maintained.
For example, they could say that the drainage system wasn't good and it had to be fixed.
Or they could say that the wall was a little dark and needed repainting.
