Chapter 285 Living at Home
The tax bureau did come to inspect taxes. In the past, the inspectors were all older people, especially after get off work, they would come over for a few drinks regardless of whether they had anything to do or not. Over time, the old ladies became familiar with them.
Every time there was going to be a tax inspection or something, the old lady would be notified in advance, and the tax inspectors were also easy to talk to.
This time, it was several young people who had just graduated from college. They claimed to be upright and incorruptible. They believed that public was public and private was private, the law was the law and emotion was emotion. There was no emotion in the law and no private in the public.
During this period, several stores were forced to suspend business for rectification, and they gathered together privately to exchange information.
I just realized that this group of new tax officials in Lufeng Town love to find fault with everything, acting as if they are so fair and strict.
In fact, it has already aroused public anger.
Today I can taste it.
A dozen young tax officials walked into the private restaurant, first checking the hygiene, then checking the freshness of the various ingredients, and then checking taxes.
The old lady used to be an accountant. When it came to paying taxes, she was the most proactive and always calculated every line exactly.
Other restaurants or businesses may evade taxes or pay taxes late, but the old lady who manages your stores is always the most proactive in paying taxes.
This is also the reason why those tax officials with a little experience tipped off the old lady in advance, because they knew she would not evade taxes.
As the saying goes, even the most careful plan can sometimes lead to a loophole. At the end of this quarter, the revenue was slightly higher than that of last month, which became the reason for several tax officials to make trouble.
"The business must be closed for rectification!"
"Paying taxes on time and in accordance with the prescribed system is the obligation of every citizen. What you are doing is tax evasion!"
"And your ingredients, through which channel do you get them? There are no receipts or anything, no inspection certificates. How can you put those uncertified things on the table? What if the customers have problems with the food?"
Then a group of people came, some issuing tickets, some recording, and some taking pictures with cameras.
Faced with a group of arrogant and domineering tax officials, the hotel waiters were completely helpless.
They could only delay it as much as possible and wait for the old lady to come before making a decision.
After Zhao Zhe finished the call, he saw that the situation was getting serious. Hey, isn't my brother-in-law a law student? Tax law should also be within the scope of his studies!
He quickly slipped to the kitchen to find Situ Ming.
Situ Ming was thinking about how he could go from being an hourly worker washing dishes in the dark to being an old lady's follower in the open.
How could he capture the old lady if he didn't get close to her?
After thinking about it for the whole morning and having almost finished washing the dishes, he still hadn't gotten the chance.
Because the old lady only comes here for a while in the morning and doesn't come here at other times.
I don't want to be a regular employee too soon so I wait for the opportunity to come.
"Brother Ming! Brother Ming! Come on, follow me. It's your chance to show off your skills."
Zhao Zhe was very excited. His five thousand yuan was finally settled. By helping his brother-in-law to take down his grandmother, he could then take down his sister.
The little boy's eyes were almost red with excitement.
"What's wrong, is your sister here?"
"Brother Ming, don't focus all your attention on my sister, that tiger girl, all day long. Really, I'm not lying to you. Taking down my grandma is like the enemy army taking down Yumen Pass and flattening the Central Plains. There is no obstacle for them to move forward!"
Situ Ming was speechless as he looked at his brother-in-law who was helping him take off his apron. What a messed up metaphor.
The two walked to the front and saw several tax officials still registering something.
Zhao Zhe briefly explained the situation and pushed Situ Ming to the front.
Situ Ming lived up to everyone's expectations and used the knowledge he had mastered to render speechless several tax officials who claimed to be fair and strict.
When he explained what the criminal law stipulated, what the tax law stipulated, how local regulations stipulated taxation, how tax officials should check accounts, and what basis the laws were based on, several tax officials' faces turned blue and red. When others were reading the laws, the books in their minds had not yet turned to that page.
There are so many laws and regulations, and there are really not many people who can remember all of them and apply them flexibly.
There was a high stool next to the cash register. Situ Ming crossed his long legs and sat on it.
Not to mention anything else, just the fact that Situ Ming sat there looked like the leader of the bureau, and the youngsters really couldn't figure out who the person who suddenly appeared in front of them was.
Could it be that the people who have such detailed understanding of the laws and regulations are the secret investigation team from above?
After all, they are not very experienced in the world, but for those who have been in the business world for a long time, this is a piece of cake.
As long as you speak a little bit roundaboutly and your body language shows a little dignity and solemnity, who will know who you are?
It has to be said that many times, the cultured people who truly hold power are often the ones who respect others the most; while those who are neither high nor low in society often like to take advantage of the power of others.
“Taxes must still be paid on time…”
Situ Ming simply said "hmm" and dismissed everyone.
When the old lady rushed into the store, she saw everyone was discussing what had just happened. When they saw the old lady coming, they quickly scattered.
"Didn't they say the tax inspectors were coming? Where are they?"
Before Zhao Zhe could speak, Fatty Erya spoke first, "They were all sent away by the handsome brother!"
As he said this, he smiled and moved closer to Situ Ming.
Seeing this, Zhao Zhe immediately took a step forward and stood between Situ Ming and Fat Erya.
What a joke! This is his brother-in-law! How can he let others get involved?
Every time the tax inspectors come, it takes a while to get rid of them. I have to pay several hundred dollars in compensation. Why did they leave today?
"Really?"
Fat Erya answered again, "Really!"
Zhao Zhe really wanted to cover Fat Erya’s mouth. Didn’t he see that my brother-in-law’s face turned dark?
Zhao Zhe drove Erya, who was in the way, to the kitchen and told the old lady what had happened in vivid detail.
For the rest of the day, the old lady took Situ Ming with her wherever she went, so that the child could pay for the meal in one day.
Another part of the reason is...guilt!
Her own daughter was collecting protection fees from others, and she was too ashamed to see her child.
Zhao Zhena had completely forgotten what he had just said.
At dinner time, seeing her grandma tear out such a big chicken leg for Situ Ming, the whole family was thinking: Has the old lady taken a fancy to this handsome young man?
Oh, I forgot to mention that after a day of feeling guilty and remorseful, the old lady decided to make it up to Xiao Ming.
If you can't even afford a meal, you can imagine what the housing cost is like.
So I invited Xiao Ming to live with me since I had an empty house.
When she heard that Xiao Ming was going to sell an old house in Mingli Village for money, she glared at Zhao Xiaoyue who was concentrating on eating.
That’s why they were staring at each other at the dinner table.
Zhao Zhe secretly admired him and thought, that’s great!
I really got my grandma!
He saw five thousand dollars waving at him.
Zhao Xiaoyue didn't dare to look at Situ Ming. She finished her bowl of rice and left.
Li Guilan and her husband were quite enthusiastic. Mr. Zhao even wanted to have a drink with the young man, but was stopped by the old lady.
