Bab 833: Opening Day

When Gu Zi and her party arrived, the once fervent protest had dwindled. 

The protestors stood listlessly in front of the store, waiting for an explanation from the instigator of the event. Many passersby were drawn to the spectacle, their curiosity piqued by the unusual scene.

A black Santana car pulled up at the corner, stopping in front of the new store. The dispersed crowd regrouped, their eyes fixated on the vehicle. 

A woman, poised and mature, stepped out of the car. She wore a professional smile, warm yet authoritative. "I am the secretary of the Bureau of Industry and Commerce," she announced, "Here is my work badge."

As she spoke, she held up her badge, a testament to her authenticity.
