Mei Niang provided Ye Fan with a clue.
When Shen Biqin's parents died in a car accident, she accompanied Shen Biqin to the police station to identify the bodies, where she saw the perpetrator Hu Wenzhong.
A pick-up truck driver who had just obtained his license smelled of alcohol and was in a state of depression, as if he had caused a car accident while driving under the influence.
In the end, Hu Wenzhong was sentenced to seven years.
Mei Niang thought that Hu Wenzhong was ruined for the rest of his life, but she didn't expect that a few years ago, she bumped into Hu Wenzhong in a night bar.
Although twenty years have passed, he has been in prison, and his body shape has changed a lot, Mei Niang can still recognize his outline.
To Mei Niang's surprise, Hu Wenzhong was not impoverished after he was released from prison, but lived a very prosperous life. He could earn hundreds of thousands just by hanging out with friends in bars.
Hu Wenzhong yelled when he was drunk that he had a lot of money. He spent seven years in prison and not only had good food and drink, he also made a full 20 million.
At that time, he was still serving as the team captain of the Shen Group, with an annual salary plus bonuses of nearly one million.
Mei Niang asked someone to inquire, and it was Grandma who arranged for Hu Wenzhong to enter the Shen family to work.
At that time, Meiniang suspected that the car accident involving Shen Biqin's parents was caused by her great-grandmother. When she found out that Shen's father was adopted into the name of her great-grandmother, she became even more convinced that there was something fishy about the car accident.
But she wasn't clean either, so she didn't investigate too much. She confessed to Shen Biqin today, and she informed Mark of her suspicions.
After Ye Fan listened, he wrote down the relevant information, and then asked Mei Niang to go back and investigate Hu Wenzhong.
Once the investigation is clear, he will no longer pursue Mei Niang's case, otherwise the night bar will close down.
Mei Niang left with tears in her eyes, saying she would dig out the truth.
"Ding--"
Just when Ye Fan was thinking about whether to tell his mother about this, his phone buzzed.
He put on earplugs to answer, and soon Han Jianfeng's hesitant voice came from the other side of the phone:
"Ye Fan, I have integrated those shares."
"The office building has also been selected. It is the golden building opposite the Shen Group. It has a whole floor, twenty rooms, and three halls, which is enough for transition."
He changed the subject: "It's just..."
"Family, don't hesitate, just tell me if you have any difficulties?"
Ye Fan was very direct: "If you don't have enough money, will someone still make things difficult for you?"
"Taipo Herbal Tea cannot be registered."
Han Jianfeng didn’t hide it either:
"When I applied online, it could be registered, but when I submitted the information yesterday afternoon, it said it couldn't be registered."
He smiled bitterly: "The Industrial and Commercial Administration said the name was duplicated and it couldn't be approved."
Ye Fan narrowed his eyes: "Repeated?"
Could it be that Shen Baodong and the others registered first?
Han Jianfeng added:
"At first I thought that the Shen family might have preempted the registration, so I went there with Grandma Zu's herbal tea instead."
“In the end, the Industrial and Commercial Administration also failed.”
"The reasons given by the other party are still the same."
He was very helpless: "It's better to repeat the same name."
Ye Fan said in a joking tone: "You mean someone is up to something?"
"It's possible, otherwise it wouldn't be possible to repeat it twice, and our names are not poetic."
Han Jianfeng looked hesitant: "I'm going to make another trip later, but I don't have much confidence in my heart. I wonder if you are free to go with me?"
"no problem."
Ye Fan knew that Han Jianfeng had been cowardly for too long and couldn't find the confidence for a while, so he didn't waste any time and drove to meet Han Jianfeng.
Twenty minutes later, Ye Fan appeared at the door of the Industrial and Commercial Department.
As soon as he got out of the car door, Han Jianfeng greeted him:
"Ye Fan, are you here?"
Han Jianfeng was wearing a suit and leather shoes and carrying a briefcase, looking like a successful man:
"You come here, I feel confident enough."
He smiled: "The other party is deliberately making things difficult for me. I really can't do anything about it. After all, I don't have many connections in Tiancheng."
"Actually, what you can handle is just a lack of self-confidence."
Ye Fan smiled: "By the way, have you found out who is blocking us?"
"have no idea."
Han Jianfeng shook his head gently:
"But the person in charge of approving us is called Zhao Ke, a native of Tiancheng. His mother is related to the Xiao family, so he is domineering."
"Half of the Xiao family? That's interesting."
Ye Fan smiled: "Okay, take me to see each other."
The two of them walked into the Industrial and Commercial Office together. The hall was very noisy with people coming and going.
After Han Jianfeng showed his ID card and reservation number to the security guard, he took Ye Fan straight to the east side of the second floor.
Han Jianfeng knocked on the door of 208. No one responded, but the sound of men and women laughing and playing could be heard inside.
He knocked a few more times, but still no one responded.
Ye Fan frowned and reached out to push the door open.
The field of vision suddenly became clear. There were two tables in the 20-square-meter office, and a man and a woman were holding hands, looking at each other, and chatting.
The man is in his mid-thirties, 1.7 meters tall, bald, and with a round face.
The girl is visually a bit younger than the boy, has almond-shaped eyes, a cherry mouth, and is fashionably dressed.
The man is obviously Zhao Ke.
His interest was interrupted and he shouted at Mark: "Who are you? Who let you in?"
"Zhao Ke, it's me, Han Jianfeng, we made an appointment, and we registered and approved it today."
Han Jianfeng walked up and said with a smile on his face: "This door was blown open by the wind. I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
He also took out a pack of Chinese cigarettes and stuffed them into it.
"You don't knock on the door when you come in. You have no manners."
Zhao Ke snorted, then swept the Chinese cigarette on the ground: "Stop doing this."
He spoke very loudly and rudely, not caring at all that Mark and the others heard him, and even deliberately let them hear it.
Han Jianfeng leaned over and picked up Zhonghua Yan from the ground, but there was no hint of displeasure on his face, as if he was used to being despised.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was reckless."
"The first few names didn't work, so I made another one called Fanxue Herbal Tea."
"I searched the Internet and no one rushed to register. I hope Zhao Ke can help with it."
Han Jianfeng still had a smile on his face, then took out the information and handed it over.
Ye Fan was startled when he heard Fanxue's herbal tea, and then smiled at Han Jianfeng. He could figure it out.
"Sorry, this one can't pass either."
Zhao Ke took it and glanced at it for a few times, then tapped his fingers on the keyboard a few times, and then threw the information back to Han Jianfeng:
"Go back and get another one."
Ye Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, and he discovered that Zhao Ke did not inquire at all, but just pretended to click a few times.
"No?"
Han Jianfeng was speechless: "This is impossible. There is no such trademark on the market, and it can't be found online."
“Just because it’s not available in the market or online doesn’t mean others haven’t registered.”
Zhao Ke waved his hand impatiently: "Go back, go back, and talk to someone else."
"If you still have questions, you can go to the front desk downstairs. I'm very busy and don't have time to talk to you."
He picked up the phone and started playing with it, glancing at her stockinged thighs with almond-shaped eyes from time to time.
Han Jianfeng subconsciously said: "Zhao Ke..."
"Go back, we are busy. This is an office area, so don't stay."
The woman with almond-shaped eyes also frowned and pushed Han Jianfeng away impatiently.
Disdainful eyes.
Ye Fan's face darkened:
"Zhao Ke, as a public servant serving the people, is your attitude inappropriate?"
The other party was obviously making things difficult, so Mark naturally didn’t give him face.
Zhao Ke's face darkened when he heard this, he slapped the table and shouted to Ye Fan:
"Who are you?"
"How do you talk?"
"What's my attitude? Do you need to talk too much?"
He shouted loudly: "If you have any objections, there is a complaint box outside the hall. You can just complain to me."
Xinghuayan smiled jokingly, Ye Fan was really dumbfounded. He was going against Zhao Ke. With this name, he would never be able to pass it for the rest of his life.
"Yes, if you have any objections to us, just go to the lobby and complain."
"If you don't know my name, I can still tell you."
Xinghuayan pointed at her work badge:
"Hu Yunhua, do you remember? Just go out and complain if you remember."
She also lifted up her stockinged legs and raised the toes of her shoes, showing indescribable arrogance and contempt.
Ye Fan stopped Han Jianfeng from trying to smooth things over: "It's because complaints are useless that there are people like you sitting here being domineering."
"Get out!"
Zhao Ke slapped the table again: "Don't hinder me from working."
Ye Fan sneered: "This is the people's place, and it's not your Zhao Ke's. You can't drive me away."
"Are you deliberately making trouble?"
Zhao Ke's voice deepened: "Xiaoyun, call the security guard, no, call the police."
The almond-eyed woman picked up the phone and prepared to make a call.
"No, no, no, Zhao Ke, misunderstanding."
Han Jianfeng still doesn't want to have a stalemate in the relationship. After all, many procedures will have to be done here in the future:
"Zhao Ke, we are from out of town. It's not easy. Please help us."
He also shook Zhao Ke's hand and said, "I will thank you very much afterwards. I will thank you very much."
"Thank you sister."
Zhao Ke shook off Han Jianfeng's hand and looked at him with contempt: "If you can't pass, you just can't pass."
He promised Shen Baodong, and also received a large sum of money. Within a month, he would not let any herbal tea name pass.
Therefore, Han Jianfeng's temptation did not appeal to him at all.
Ye Fan looked at him and smiled lightly: "Let me ask you one last question, are you determined to make things difficult for us?"
"Making things difficult? Am I going to make things difficult for a little person like you?"
Zhao Ke sneered: "A broken company selling herbal tea has no right to make things difficult for me."
"In addition to sitting in this position, I am still half a member of the Xiao family."
"The reason why you can't pass is because the name you applied for is the same as someone else's. Of course we can't approve it."
"You have to pass, pick one and don't repeat it."
The woman with almond-shaped eyes gloated at Mark: "Little brother, there are some people you can't offend."
"Then you can check for me. Is the name 'your father' herbal tea the same?"
Ye Fan sneered: "If I don't repeat myself, I will call this 'your dad'."
"You took advantage of me, didn't you?"
Zhao Ke's eyes turned cold: "I tell you, this name cannot be used either."
Ye Fan asked: "What about 'your grandfather'?"
Zhao Ke became angry: "Your great-grandfather can't even use it."
Ye Fan laughed: "It seems you really don't want me to open a company."
Zhao Ke spread his hands and said, "Don't blame it on me because of your own reasons."
Ye Fan took out his mobile phone and dialed a phone number:
"Steward Xiao, come here..."
