Siheyuan: Kill Han Qingkui, Tian Zao is entangled with me

Chapter 37 Isn't it just acting? It's like anyone can't do it

"Prices? That's decided by the Sijiu City Chamber of Commerce. Listen to me. Even though I'm the president, I can't make decisions on my own!"

Sure enough, Zheng Chaoyang had guessed this would be the answer on his way here.

But Wei Qiang didn't even try to pretend.

"Brother, the common people really can't get enough food now. What should we do as newcomers?"

"Brother, I am also willing but unable to do anything! This is a business, and business has its own rules. Excessive interference is not what we want to see for healthy development, right?"

"Yes, the new government also has its own rules. Now the higher-ups have put pressure on me. I really have no other options, so I'm bothering you. You don't want me to be criticized when I go back, do you?"

"My dear brother! Although I am the president, I still need everyone to hold a meeting to discuss this. Can you spare me some time? I will try my best to mediate for you, okay?"

Zheng Chaoyang knew that this old guy would not have any answer, so he just said goodbye and left.

Watching Zheng Chaoyang's departing back, Wei Qiang smiled slightly. This was exactly the effect he wanted. He could even slap himself in the face?

When walking out of the Sijiu City Chamber of Commerce, Zheng Chaoyang noticed someone following him, but he didn't care.

Sijiucheng Chamber of Commerce on Xibianmen Street
Isn't it just acting to look as if you have lost all hope in life?
It's like no one else.

If it weren't for the Lou family's backing, he wouldn't have been so straightforward. At least he would have tried to persuade them all day long and had a midnight snack before going back.

After circling around for several times with his tail behind him, he finally got into Lao Qian's car on Guang'anmen Street.

The general direction of Guang'anmen Street

It was right to keep a low profile at that time. If Wei Qiang knew that the Lou family had taken action, it would be bad.

Dayong and his group of kids spent half a day running around dozens or even hundreds of grain shops in the inner city. When Zheng Chaoyang got off the car outside the Municipal Bureau, they rushed over.

"What? Did you finish the investigation so quickly?"

"How big of a deal is this? Brother Zheng, Sister Zao knows you're back, and we didn't keep it a secret."

"It's not really a secret. I saw her at the street office early in the morning. Didn't she tell me about the conflict with me?"

Several children shook their heads quickly.

"You know this money can be used now? The original legal tender can be exchanged for this kind of banknotes at the People's Bank of China."

"We all heard about this from Sister Zao. She has all the money! By the way, Brother Zheng, we told Meihe'er what you said, and he was so excited that he cried. But you have to be careful of someone, he's also in Sister Zao's compound."

"Who is it? Is he going to harm me? Or does he also want to help Meihe'er redeem his sister?"

"His name is Suo Qian. He claims to be a descendant of the palace. He is a boastful ancestor. Every time he says he is going out to collect money to redeem Sister Chun Xier, he fails every time. Last time, he was beaten by the people of Yuxiang Garden!"

The children gathered together and started talking at once.

"This money is your wages this time. Tell me where you went today? Which grain shops have the highest prices?"

After another round of discussions, Zheng Chaoyang relied on his superior comprehension and approximate directions to finally locate the locations of several grain shops.

It turns out that the house that was looted last time is also among them!
It's true that once the wound has healed, the pain has been forgotten.

"Well, I'll teach you the simplest method. Draw a circle on the wall outside the store with inflated prices, and then draw a horizontal and a vertical line in the middle. Do you understand?"

"Brother Zheng, you should have said it earlier! This is much easier! Brother Zheng, can the literacy class teach us how to read and understand characters?"

"Of course I can. I can also understand a lot of things and won't be bullied anymore."

"Okay, we'll all join. Does your promise to introduce us as workers still count?"

"Do you think I'm the guy called Suo Qian? Look at my clothes, I mean what I say."

The children were so happy that they hugged each other excitedly because they finally had books to read.

"Then let's go tell Sister Zao quickly. Sister Zao also wants to attend the literacy class with us!"

"Yes, she needs to study hard. She can't accomplish anything if she is stubborn. There is one more thing. There are so many helpless children like you in the city. Gather them all together. I have something to ask of you."

"It's too polite to ask you to do something. Brother Zheng wants us to do something. It's just a matter of one word!" "Okay, I'll say one word too. If you do the job well, I'll introduce you to the steel mill as workers. How about that?"

"A word is settled!"

"We've made a promise that we won't change our mind for a hundred years. Put a stamp on it!"

"This is fun! Let's go back and tell Sister Zao the good news!"

In a flash, the group of children disappeared.

When Zheng Chaoyang was about to walk back to the bureau, he saw Bai Ling standing at the door staring at him.

"Xian Yi is gone?"

"Her father asked the driver to pick her up."

"Xian Dengkui didn't come?"

"The driver, Mr. Xie, said that Xian Dengkui has prepared a bed for you at his house."

"This guy won't take any loss! How's the interrogation going with the Black Whirlwind gang?"

"I found out, but I don't know if it's the same group of people in Xishan that Han Qingkui mentioned."

That's almost it!

"what are you doing?"

"Did you change your perfume again?"

"It's true that people of the same kind make friends with people of the same kind. Birds of a feather flock together. You and that Xian Yi are both of the same kind, right?"

"I told you that you smell good, why are you slandering someone innocent?"

"Are you going to talk about the brand of my perfume again?"

"No, I'm not very familiar with Kexiannu."

After saying that, Zheng Chaoyang stepped into the bureau.

Bai Ling curled her lips and said she was not familiar with it, but she named the brand right away. What's so great about being rich?

Is it great to be knowledgeable?

The car we just drove was also worth a lot of money. It’s much more comfortable than the Willys Jeep, right?

She had just seen it but never sat on it.

Zheng Chaoyang went straight to Luo Yong's office and told him about the two places he had visited today.

"Wait a minute, you said Lou Zhenhua took the initiative to pick you up at the door. Did you go to a village outside Beijing? Where is it?"

When he pointed out on the map of the suburbs of Beijing, Bai Ling came in, followed by Hao Pingchuan, Qi Lala and others.

"Are you all back?"

"Master Duo, how is the matter going? No need to look at him, just tell me."

It was obvious that Duomen and Hao Pingchuan had a conflict and they must have had another unpleasant experience on the road.

Hao Pingchuan snorted coldly and sat aside. Qi Lala didn't know how to ease the relationship and just kept laughing.

"Master Zheng, I'm only helping you because of you."

"I know that Lao Hao is a man with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. You will know his good side after a long time. Let's talk business. How is the investigation going?"

"The price of grain in the Zhengyangmen area alone has gone through the roof. Mixed noodles are sold for 500 yuan a pound, and corn flour is more than 600 yuan. Fine grains are simply unaffordable for ordinary people!"
