Clutching his phone, the young man's face burned one moment and paled the next. He bowed to me right then and there and apologized to me. He also promised he'd never do something so shameful again. Later, he really did change his approach. He started filming honest small businesses hidden in local alleyways and even helped promote the shops in our support group for free. He eventually became a locally well-known ethical food blogger. Last month, he even came by specifically to give me a copy of the food review guide he had made himself. "Thank you for showing me the right path." He wrote on the flyleaf.…Customers started filling the restaurant at lunchtime. Vindicator0001, the person who had previously attacked me online and later came to apologize to me, also showed up. He was now an administrator of my business owners' rights protection support group, helping everyone organize legal materials for everyone pro bono. That day, he went the extra mile and carried in a towerin

A year after our grand reopening, I hung a red banner above the entrance. "One-Year Anniversary Celebration. Everything's 32% Off. Free Plum Juice for Sanitation Workers and Delivery Drivers."Cece, our ginger cat, was curled up into a ball at the feet of the front desk, dozing off. The tip of its tail swayed occasionally as it brushed against the pile of candies next to it.This was the stray cat that Brandon had scared away years ago when he kicked over a stool in my restaurant. Later, when I renovated my restaurant, it came running back on its own. So, I decided to keep it. Flora was the one who named it, claiming it was to commemorate the sturgeon from our family's restaurant that had almost been falsely accused.Once summer vacation started, Flora worked at the restaurant as a little helper. With her hair tied into pigtails, she carried a small tin box filled with candies and offered one to every customer she saw. Her silver tongue won everyone over.The young girl who was s

I agreed on the spot. During the first week of the promotion, both our restaurants' revenues increased by 40%.At the end of the year, I sat down and tallied up the books. Even though I had suffered a major setback earlier in the year, my restaurant's revenue had tripled in the second half of the year. After setting aside the money for the school-district apartment, I still had 30 grand left. I gave all my employees a year-end bonus worth three times their monthly salary, and I also bought each of them a new phone. My employees were all thrilled, promising to give it their all in the following year.…I closed the restaurant and headed back to my hometown with Grace and Flora on Christmas Eve. Mom and Dad had already prepared dinner and were waiting for us. Flora showed them her award certificate. It was the first-place award she had won in her kindergarten drawing competition. The picture she drew was of our grilled fish restaurant. The restaurant was filled with customers, t

In August, the local consumer protection agency reached out to me and invited me to give a seminar to small business owners across the city on ethical business practices and how to protect their legal rights. I put on a crisp, clean shirt and headed over. More than 300 shop owners were seated in the audience. I shared my experience with them, explaining how to preserve evidence and how to defend their legitimate rights and interests. Once I wrapped up my seminar, a bunch of people gathered around me to hand me their business cards, saying they hoped we could stay in touch and exchange ideas in the future. …I received a notice from the court in mid-September. All of Brandon's illicit gains had been recovered and returned. Every single one of the 23 affected business owners had received the money they were owed. The jewelry store owner who had been extorted the most money was the one who had previously been forced to pay Brandon 30 grand. When he received his money back, he went

Flora scampered over and popped a piece of freshly grilled, crispy fish maw into my mouth before using her soft little hands to wipe away the sweat from my forehead. "There were so many people today, Daddy! Will we have this many customers every day from now on?"I ruffled her hair and looked up to catch Grace smiling at me. Bathed in the soft amber glow of the streetlight, she looked even more beautiful than the day I first laid eyes on her. A little ways down the street, mouthwatering aromas wafted from the glowing storefronts. The owner of the cheese fondue restaurant next door was calling out at the top of his lungs to drum up business, while the sweet fragrance of bubble tea drifted over, mingling with the smoky scent of our grilled fish. It was the cozy, familiar bustle of everyday life that I knew so well. When we closed for the night, Grace and I crouched at the entrance, tallying up the day's earnings. The revenue exceeded 30 grand. It was twice as much as what I had ma

I gave each of my employees another five grand as a compensation bonus for the time they had been forced out of work. I called them to let them know that my restaurant was reopening and that anyone who wanted to come back could report to work immediately with a 20% raise. On the other end of the line, the young waitress choked out, "I knew you were framed, Peter. I'll report to work tomorrow!"I didn't pocket the rest of the money, either. I used half of it to upgrade my restaurant's seafood supply chain, switching entirely to live fish that were slaughtered the same day they were delivered. After hanging up the phone, someone tapped me on the shoulder. I looked up and saw Justin, my former supplier. He was carrying two crates of freshly delivered hybrid sturgeon, and he handed them to me, grinning. "I owe you an apology, Peter. I should've told you the shipment had been sourced from another supplier. If I had done that, you wouldn't have gone through so much hardship."Moving fo
