It's about five o'clock in the afternoon.

Peace Street said, the sudden unexpected situation caught everyone at Li's Restaurant by surprise.

"What happened?"

"Hello? Hello? The speaker is silent?"

"Why did the lights in the hotel go out?"  The Power of Time and Wealth 558

"Have you lost the gate? Me!"

"The brakes are not down. I'm closing the car. It seems there's a power outage!"

The restaurant staff immediately ran around. It was dinner time, and there were many people eating. There were also many customers who had just "solicited" loudly with Loudspeaker. The hall was almost half full, and the residents who were eating immediately stopped. The light transmission effect here is actually not good. Although the sun has not set, the restaurant is completely dark. Once the lights are turned off, there is no light. How can we still eat? In addition, as soon as the air conditioner was turned off, the temperature in the room rose a little bit, so many people started shouting.

"What are you doing?"

"Are you still going to let us eat?"

"Why is it dark?"

Li Lu's face darkened, and he thought to himself: Why did he stop playing this game so early and now?

However, everyone has seen many problems with the power system. A power outage is not worth making a fuss about. At first, Li Lu and other people in the restaurant didn't take it seriously. They looked at the watch and waited for the power to be restored. Usually this kind of problem can be solved in a minute or two. Li Lu didn't even make a call. He was not the only one who was worried about a power outage in an area. There were many merchants here, so someone must have reported it.

But a restaurant waiter was suddenly stunned and said, "Hey, boss!"

Li Lu looked at her, "What's wrong?"

"This..." the waiter pointed to the surroundings and said in panic, "This... it seems that our family has a power outage."

His words immediately woke everyone up.

"What?" Li Lu was stunned, and quickly looked around with everyone. The Barber Shop light box opposite was spinning well, and the canteen next to it also had its lights on and was still doing business. Everything was safe and sound.

Isn't that right? The whole street is fine, just them Li's Restaurant has a power outage!

Depend on! What is this?

Before Li Lu could think about it, Dong Xuebin patted him on the shoulder again, "I wish you a prosperous business." Turning around, "Director Zhou, Director Meng, let's go, take my car." Dong Xuebin didn't look back. Cayenne, Zhou Yanru and Meng Senguo Qu Yiqiang got on the roadside and looked at each other happily. Finally, they looked at Li's Restaurant who was in a mess, and the three of them also got into Dong Xuebin's car. Well, I think what Dong Xuebin said just now, "Let's see who tormented whom." Now, no matter how stupid you are, you should understand. This power outage was definitely caused by Director Dong!

It's so wicked!

What does electricity mean to a hotel?

Power outage? That would simply kill their restaurant!  The Power of Time and Wealth 558

How to turn on the air conditioner without electricity? How to turn on the light without electricity? What to do if there is no electric oven? How can the refrigerator light up without electricity? Are you still holding a microphone for promotional Q&A? Now we can't even do business!

Dong Xuebin's ruthless tactics once again made Street Office's people realize the strong side of the new director. The news that Li's Restaurant was cut off was quickly sent back to the office by several staff members who were just present. When everyone heard that Director Dong had acted cruelly, they all gloated.

"Relieve your anger!"

"Good break!"

"You have to be tough on people like this who don't know what the heavens and the earth are!"

"This restaurant is really short-sighted. Who can we mess with?"

"Director Dong got angry, didn't he turn on the speaker and yell? Is there no sound now?"

This matter also made many people read it. Who said Director Dong is dressed in white? Whether it was City Daily before or this time there was a power outage, they Director Dong are also related to the city!

People in Guangming Street Office were happy, but Li Lu could no longer be happy.

Power outage? Although he knew the seriousness of the problem, his expression changed, and he immediately called Peace Street and said, "Hey, I'm Li Lu, Director Liu, our restaurant has no power!"

"No power?"

"There is no problem with the gate, and the surrounding shops are also fine, but our family is the only one who has lost power."

"Is this happening? Just wait until I ask you."

"Okay, please Director Liu."

Li Lu is young and is new to restaurant management. He is very courageous and a bit fearless. Dong Xuebin cut off his power, which "forced" him to a dead end. The restaurant's daily rent, food materials, waiter wages, etc. are a huge expense. A day's delay means a day's loss, which is an unbearable loss for a newly opened restaurant. This immediately aroused Li Lu's anger. He attached great importance to Peace Street Office. Because he was located here, he really didn't take the street director in his early twenties to heart!

power failure?

Let me see if you can stop for a few minutes!

Li Lu knows, Dong Xuebin is probably just trying to scare him, is there a power outage? His electricity bill has not gone bad for a month. This kind of power outage is completely illegal and Li Lu is justified, so he is not afraid and does not believe that Dong Xuebin really dares to cut off the power for ten or eight days. Even if Dong Xuebin agrees, Electric Power Company cannot agree. This is a responsibility, so he thinks that the power outage will be over in one hour.

Ring ring ring, the phone rang.

"Hello, Director Chu." Li Lu answered the phone respectfully.

Chu Qinghua said in a deep voice, "I heard Xiao Liu say, what's going on?"

Li Lu said angrily, "It's Dong Xuebin from Guangming Street! He made a phone call and our power ran out! This is for our restaurant! It's retaliation!" The Power of Time and Wealth 558

"I just asked. This time the power was outage in the city Electric Power Company. I don't know the details. Don't be anxious yet. Just wait and check again later."

Li Lu's heart was determined, "Okay."

Everyone thought that the power outage would not last long, but the development of things exceeded everyone's expectations!

The waiter at the front desk of the restaurant suddenly answered a phone call, and then ran out in a hurry, "Boss! The city government has notified Electric Power Company!"

Li Lu said solemnly, "What notification?"

The waiter said, "The circuit is being repaired and we have been given a power outage notice."

"How long?"

The waiter swallowed and hesitated.

Li Lu raised his eyes and said, "I'm asking you!"

"People from Electric Power Company said... the power will be cut off indefinitely starting today, let's get ready!"

Indefinitely??

Li Lu turned green when he heard this!

What's the meaning? Are you going to cut off my electricity for a day? One week? One month of electricity?

Dong Xuebin I****!

Li Lu completely didn't expect that Dong Xuebin would dare to be so cruel if he wasn't trying to scare him. But when he thought that even the common people on the street dared to hit this girl, what else could he not dare to do?

Indefinite circuit refurbishment?

Li Lu almost yelled. He had seen many leading cadres, but he had never seen such a wicked leader as Dong Xuebin! One phone call cut off his power! Or indefinitely?

Then he still has a shitty business!
