After everyone had left, only Suri Drew, Yigol Novak, and a shopkeeper remained.
Seeing that everyone had dispersed, the shopkeeper respectfully spoke up again.
“Regarding the incident just now, we will definitely handle it properly and not disappoint you both. Why don’t you both head to our VIP lounge now? There are many fun things to do there.”
Hearing this, Suri glanced at him, then shook her head without hesitation to refuse.
“No need, we have other things we want to do here. You all can go.”
“Also, this matter must not only satisfy us, but also everyone else here.”
Yigol, who was standing nearby, naturally understood what his wife meant, so he immediately chimed in.
“This has been a huge blow to these vendors, but they shouldn’t have to pay those fees in the first place. Shouldn’t you handle this properly?” His meaning was clear: return the money that was initially collected from these vendors.
If people were really rich, they wouldn’t be selling these things here.
Everyone was just trying to make some extra money after work.
It’s just that everyone didn’t expect to encounter such shameless urban management officials.
If they hadn’t run into this situation today and made a big deal out of it, who knows how long it would have continued.
So under these circumstances, he hoped that this person would handle the matter better.
In any case, they must cough up the money they had taken in the first place.
If possible, they should even return double the amount!
Is the shopkeepers’ money not valuable?
Is the shopkeepers’ time not worth anything?
Back then, when they came to set up stalls, they didn’t even make money and, on the contrary, even gave away some of the wages they had earned from their main business.
It was really infuriating.
The shopkeeper next to him naturally nodded and bowed immediately, saying.
“Of course, of course, Mr. Novak, everything you say, we will definitely handle it properly.”
With his words, they finally felt at ease.
“In that case, you go handle your own business, we have other things to do.”
Since the two of them had already spoken up, he didn’t feel it was appropriate to continue stopping them, and could only nod and agree.
“I hope you both have fun.”
Only after Suri and Yigol’s figures had gradually disappeared from his sight did he finally turn around and leave.
As he turned around, he raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He was lucky that they hadn’t pursued the matter further, or he might have lost his job.
Of course, he might lose a lot of money this time as well, due to his negligence.
But at any rate, the matter wasn’t blown out of proportion.
After learning from this experience, he would definitely discipline his subordinates better in the future, and incidents like this would never happen again.
Moreover, now that the situation had blown up, it would undoubtedly have an impact on their commercial street; many customers might even be prejudiced against them.
This would make it harder for them to make money.
The reason they opened this commercial street was not just for fun.
Everyone wanted to make money.
If anything were to hinder their profits, they would definitely deal with it well.
Suri and Yigol once again returned to the sea of people.
And the news naturally spread like wildfire, soon reaching the ears of everyone.
The vendors who had just run away came back to their original spots and started setting up their stalls again.
They couldn’t stop praising the situation.
“My God, I never thought there would be such people in this world! With them around, we won’t be bullied by those city officials again.”
“Yeah, I don’t even know what those two look like, but I really want to meet them. They’re our saviors!”
“I heard they’re quite young. Looks like the younger generation is getting more and more courageous.”
“Don’t even mention it. At our age, we probably wouldn’t have the courage to stand up for everyone’s rights.”
Along the way, they could occasionally hear passersby or nearby vendors discussing similar topics.
When the two of them heard these words, they naturally felt very happy, thinking that they had done something very meaningful.
However, they wouldn’t show off in front of everyone; they just exchanged knowing smiles.
As the place returned to its usual hustle and bustle, Suri’s attention was once again drawn to the various interesting and delicious shops around them.
“Honey, come look at this!”
“Darling, this is so delicious! I’ve never tasted anything like this before!”
“Honey, come over here and help me hold this, I want to take a photo!”
Suri’s energy seemed endless.
Even though some unpleasant events had just occurred, resulting in a small hiccup, she was able to regain her confidence and enthusiasm quickly.
Not only that, she was now playing so happily as if she had completely forgotten everything that had just happened.
Seeing her like this, a hint of happiness appeared on Yigol’s face. As long as his wife was having the most fun, that was what mattered most.
“Alright, alright, I’m coming!”
After some time, Yigol’s hands were full of bags filled with all sorts of knick-knacks.
Meanwhile, Suri next to him was still constantly buying food.
“What is this? It’s so amazing, I’ve never had anything like it before.”
She was holding a transparent plastic container containing something that looked like a dough mixture, topped with some scallions and seasoning.
Seeing so many people lining up, she was naturally attracted and immediately bought a portion.
Watching this unfold, Yigol finally spoke up.
“You’ve never had this before? This is one of our local specialties.”
Upon hearing this, a glint appeared in Suri’s eyes, and she excitedly responded.
“Really? It tastes great! Wow, I’ve never had anything like this before, so have you been eating this stuff since you were little?”
Yigol looked at her so excitedly, and the smile on his face became even more pronounced..
