Jiang Zhihan walked past the farmer's market and headed to his mother's bookstore. It was six o'clock in the evening, and many farmers had already packed up their stalls and rushed home.? However, there were still a lot of people at the farmer's market, especially some old people who chose this time to buy cheap vegetables and meat. There were quite a few students in the crowd. The ones wearing red scarves were primary school students, and the taller ones were mostly junior high school students or high school students. So far, Jiang Zhihan was quite satisfied with the place he had chosen. There was a lot of traffic, and there were a lot of students who were the main customers.? It was said that the farmer's market would expand in the next two years, including providing more indoor stalls. More and more people would come in the future. Another reason why Jiang Zhihan liked this place was that the bookstore was quite close to his home and school. The three points were almost an equinox triangle. Moreover, the bookstore happened to be under the jurisdiction of the Forest Institute. It had a good reputation in terms of public security, and there were people taking care of it.
Her mother had been nagging at home these days, saying that there were more people reading in the bookstore than buying. Jiang Zhihan comforted her, saying that it was just the beginning. Moreover, a business like this needed people's word of mouth to slowly spread. As long as the goods were found in the right way, there would always be a lot of people buying them. In fact, since the bookstore opened, business had been quite good. Although it didn't cause a sensation as soon as it opened, there wasn't much competition and demand. This was a good start.
When he walked into the bookstore, he saw a group of people surrounding it. In a place like the Central Plains, there was no shortage of idlers and onlookers. Someone drew a comic satirizing a person who had a nosebleed and looked up at the sky. A while later, a group of people followed suit and looked up at the sky to see if anything abnormal was happening. After a while, hundreds of people surrounded the sky and discussed what the people looking at the sky were looking at. Jiang Zhihan walked closer and heard his mother's excited and high-pitched voice. Jiang Zhihan's heart skipped a beat."What kind of unlucky day is it today?”
Jiang Zhihan squeezed into the crowd and heard his mother say angrily,""Everyone, be reasonable. We still have to be reasonable wherever we go. The dirty water in front of the door clearly flowed down from the street. We didn't pour it ourselves. We even help to clean up every few days. How can we be accused of being untidy?”Jiang Zhihan walked over and stood silently beside his mother. He carefully sized up the three people opposite him. They were all wearing red sleeves and were from the market management office. The leader had a pair of protruding ears and a fat face. When the meat was stacked together, there were at least three chins. The one on the left was very short, while the one on the right was thin and looked a little wretched. The long-eared man said with a fake smile,""The sewage and garbage are at the entrance of your shop, so you have to pay a fine. We don't care about the rest. If you know who poured it, you can ask him for money yourself.”Li Rongrong said angrily," This sewage and garbage clearly came from that residential building on the high ground. We don't know which one it is." But for this matter, the shop owners here have even looked for you to report the situation. How can you blame it all on us today?”At this moment, the wretched and thin guy behind him said,"Why are you saying so much?”The short man picked up the pen in his hand and drew a few strokes. He tore off a piece of paper and handed it to the fatty in front of him. Li Rongrong said,"I won't pay this money."”"If you don't pay after the deadline, you'll be fined. If it's serious, your license can be revoked."”As he spoke, he reached out and handed over the fine receipt. Li Rongrong looked at him and said," I won't accept this. I won't pay the money either. If you want to mess around, I'll get justice no matter where I go."”Fatty sneered and said," Up to you." With a wave of his hand, the small piece of paper fell to the ground. It was blown by the wind and fell into the dirty water by the side of the road.
Jiang Zhihan knew that his mother might be a little calculative sometimes, but she was not an unreasonable person. She must have her reasons for what happened today. He looked at the other party's bad attitude and could not help but clench his fists. However, he knew that if he had a conflict with these people in charge of the market, his mother's business would be difficult to do in the future, so he held back his anger. Fatty turned around and left, the other two following behind him. The thin, wretched man mumbled loudly," A bunch of f * cking unruly people." He spat out a string of unpleasant curses. Jiang Zhihan couldn't hold it in anymore. He took a step forward and said loudly,""Watch your mouth." The thin man turned his head and said in a strange voice,"Who are you talking about?”Jiang Zhihan looked straight at him.”The thin man laughed strangely,"This little guy is quite awesome."”She walked up and sized him up. She stretched out her hand, not knowing if she was going to knock or pat Jiang Zhihan's head. How could Jiang Zhihan let him have his way? He raised his hand and grabbed his wrist. The thin man struggled with all his might, but how could he move? There were people who were usually angry but did not dare to speak up. When they saw that his hand was grabbed by a student and he could not move, they laughed in the crowd. The skinny man's face turned red as he pushed his other hand towards Jiang Zhihan's chest. Jiang Zhihan turned his body sideways and let go. The thin man stumbled forward a few steps due to his inertia and almost fell to the ground.
Fatty had already walked over and said sinisterly,"Don't use violence to obstruct law enforcement." Jiang Zhihan looked at him coldly and said,""I can't find the person who splashed the dirty water. Today's matter was being watched by dozens of pairs of eyes. It was not easy to distort the truth. Everyone could clearly see who had done it.”In fact, Jiang Zhihan had indeed held back. If he had used more strength just now, the thin man would have fallen to the ground. However, although Jiang Zhihan could not control his impulse, he knew that if the conflict was too intense, it would bring endless trouble to his mother. Secondly, his master had strictly warned him not to abuse the skills he had learned unless it was used for defense or to save people. Jiang Zhihan laughed coldly." I thought that the people are the ones who make the decisions in our country. It turns out that we are all unruly people." You civilized law enforcers are not here to serve the people, but to suppress the unruly.”The fatty looked at Jiang Zhihan. This youth's cold gaze was almost tangible. There was a calmness and maturity that completely surpassed his age, making him feel a little scared for some reason. He laughed dryly." Children shouldn't try to have fun with their mouths. Don't we still have to do business here?"”This was a naked threat. Jiang Zhihan grew up in the streets and alleys of this city. Although he wasn't at the bottom of the social class, he knew that these people would seek revenge for the smallest grievance. It wouldn't work to give in at this time. Jiang Zhihan said coldly," Whether or not your fine is appropriate, we will definitely find the relevant authorities to report it. After all, market management is to serve the market and increase the prosperity of the market, not to suppress merchants. Although we are commoners, believe me, everyone has a few friends.”Jiang Zhihan's confident and logical words made Fatty a little uncertain. He looked at the thin man and signaled with his eyes that he would not be able to get back at him today. He would come back to cause trouble another day.
At this moment, someone shouted outside,""What are you looking at? You're blocking the traffic.”As he spoke, a policeman walked in. When everyone saw that it was a uniformed police officer, they dispersed in twos and threes. Jiang Zhihan looked over. It was Xiaowen, Lin Suo's subordinate. He was highly regarded by Lin Suo. He was also present when Jiang Zhihan and Lin Suo had a meal once. Xiaowen was also a smart person. With a glance, she knew what kind of conflict had happened. He greeted Fatty with a smile and put his arm around Jiang Zhihan's shoulder.""Is there a misunderstanding?" This was the meaning of trying to smooth things over. "I'm just carrying out official duties," Fatty said with a fake smile. Officer Wen, we'll be leaving first." He didn't give her any face and turned around to leave.
Little Wen's expression changed and she could not help but snort coldly. Jiang Zhihan said,"The weather is cold. Let's go in and talk."”The three of them entered the bookstore and saw Shen Pengfei standing inside. "I told him to stay inside and not come out," Li Rongrong said to Jiang Zhihan.”Jiang Zhihan found a stool, but Xiaowen waved her hand and said not to sit. The few of them gathered together and listened to Li Rongrong talk about the ins and outs of the matter.
The matter had to be traced back to Monday. Li Rongrong was busy in the shop when another small shop owner on the street came to say that the uncle of Director Zhu from the Market Management Office had died, and the merchants wanted to contribute money to express their gratitude. This was actually a disguised form of extortion. Li Rongrong's shop had only been open for a short time, and she had not even seen Director Zhu. Now that her uncle was dead, she had to give him money, so she could not help but complain. It would be fine if they were direct relatives, but even the three aunts and six uncles had to show filial piety after they died. How could this be the end? Li Rongrong also knew how difficult it was to deal with these local tyrants, so she gave them the money. Little did she know that this person who came to collect money was actually the most evil person. He was usually very affectionate with Li Rongrong and kept praising her shop. She helped to collect the money, of course, to please Director Zhu and get some benefits and discounts. However, there were several cases of collecting money this year. Of course, some of the owners who had some connections or were very unreasonable were unwilling to pay or pay less. After sending the money to Director Zhu, who was also greedy to the extreme, he frowned and asked, why is it less than the previous few times? Seeing that the errand boy hadn't done well, the person who collected the money kept talking about how hard it was for him to collect the money. She had been here for more than a year, and she did not dare to snitch on those who did not pay. She was afraid that they would find out and cause trouble for her. She felt that Li Rongrong had a good temper since she had just arrived. In addition, she was jealous that her business had been very good since she opened the shop. She actually exaggerated and used Li Rongrong to badmouth her, such as saying that she cursed her immediate family members for not dying. Director Zhu frowned." She just got here and doesn't know if she's dead or alive. We have to teach her a lesson."”
The next day, someone came to check if there were any illegal transactions. Fortunately, Li Rongrong followed Jiang Zhihan's advice and entered the book through proper channels. There was nothing messy, so she couldn't find anything, but it was still a mess. Li Rongrong knew that something was wrong, because the investigation of books was the responsibility of the cultural department and had nothing to do with the people of the market management committee. This was blatant revenge. Li Rongrong knew that something was wrong, but she thought that she had already given him money. What else could she do? After thinking about it, he only complained a little, and the only person present was the guy who received the money. Therefore, in a fit of anger, he went to the door to question the person who collected the money. Of course, the person who took the money denied it, but she knew what was going on just by looking at her. Li Rongrong scolded her and turned to leave. This dirty woman was not satisfied with being scolded, so she went to Director Zhu to sow discord. She said that Li Rongrong said that she was running a legitimate business and was not afraid of being scammed. Director Zhu snorted coldly and said,"There's still a long way to go. Watch how I deal with her."
Therefore, in less than a few days, new people came to find trouble. The street had some slopes, and there were some residential buildings on the slopes. In the past two weeks, there had been some problems with the pipes in a residential building. There was always sewage and sometimes garbage flowing down the street, filling the air with an unpleasant smell. A few merchants even went to the management office to complain. They also went to the residential building to argue, but the problem was still not resolved. In fact, Li Rongrong often cleaned the road in front of the door because it was the market's stipulated cleaning contract responsibility area. He had been busy all day and didn't notice that a few people came to his door in the evening. When he came out, he saw that there was a pile of sewage at the door. They said that they would be fined for failing the city inspection. Li Rongrong knew that she was here for revenge, so she refused to pay. Li Rongrong sighed." It's also because I'm too talkative and too trusting. I didn't expect that a few casual complaints would get me into trouble."”Then, he said fiercely,"Why are these people so bad?"”
After hearing the ins and outs of the matter, Xiaowen could not help but curse,"These guys are too f * cking lawless.”He said to Jiang Zhihan,"This fatty is Director Zhu's distant nephew. It seems like he's here to be a thug today." As you can see, he doesn't give me any face. I'm afraid that only the director and deputy director will give him some face. With an uncle as a petty official, he would be able to do whatever he wanted in this area.”After a pause, Xiaowen said,"This Director Zhu has been operating here for many years." Although he wasn't a big official, this management office was filled with his people. If they weren't relatives of his aunties, they were just a few hooligans who worked as thugs.? Thus, in the farmer's market, he really treated himself like a local tyrant.”
Of course, Jiang Zhihan had to humbly ask for a way to deal with it. Xiaowen said,""You don't know that Lin just transferred away, right?”Jiang Zhihan shook his head and said that he didn't know. Xiaowen said,"We'll talk about this later." To be honest, if Lin Suo was still around, it might be useful to go and say hello. But now that he was gone, even though he was promoted, as the saying goes, a county magistrate is not as good as an official, so his words might not be as effective. There were only two ways these guys could do it. One was to find some hooligans. They had many hooligans on their side to cause trouble for you. The second was to make an official appearance, just like today, to find fault with you every now and then and punish you. If it's the first one, I can help. As for the second condition, there is a limit to what I can do. You see, they don't give me face. To deal with this kind of person, you have to find someone to pass on the message. Compromise or teach him a lesson. Knowing that you are not to be trifled with, he will restrain himself.”
Jiang Zhihan nodded. He didn't know who to look for. He then asked about Lin Suo. Xiaowen said that the city was going to make a big move and set up a concentrated 110 police center. Now it was the preparatory stage, and Lin Suo had been transferred to the preparatory office. Although he was just a clerk there, the preparatory office was the head of the Political and Law Committee with the title of team leader. The deputy director of the municipal bureau was the deputy team leader. His level was very high. Moreover, once the preparation stage was over and the relevant departments were officially established, the Lin Institute should be able to get a good position. Xiaowen said enviously,"The earlier you go, the more empty the seats are, and the more opportunities you have." Besides, this police center is not like our police station. There should be a lot of opportunities to make contributions and improve. I was thinking that since the Lin Institute had taken their place, when would they be able to transfer me over?”The two of them chatted for a while more. Jiang Zhihan did not expect the 110 police center to progress so quickly, and he was happy for Lin Suo. Li Rongrong invited Xiaowen to dinner, but Xiaowen said she had to leave. Li Rongrong called out to him and took out a set of English books. She said that Xiaowen had bought them for his sister last time. Xiaowen took out her wallet to give her money, but Li Rongrong said that she didn't want it. She said that it was a gift for her sister to learn, and that she would buy whatever she wanted in the future. The two of them gave way, and Jiang Zhihan said with a smile,""Don't do it again. Just treat it as my mom's opening ceremony. Don't push it anymore. Why don't you treat me to a meal someday?" Xiaowen knew that Lin Suo treated Jiang Zhihan very differently, so she also wanted to be on good terms with him. She smiled and agreed, thanked him, and went out.
