Chapter 556 Fellow practitioners in the martial arts world are meant to be sold! (Seeking monthly votes)

"Wu, Section Chief Wu!"

That day, Wu Aiguo came to the store to inspect the business and help maintain order.

Although honeycomb briquettes are no longer sold directly here, honeycomb briquette stoves are sold here in bulk, attracting a constant stream of individuals and organizations to purchase them.

The noise was quite loud; someone who didn't know better might have thought there was a fight going on inside!
The purchasing staff at the supply and marketing cooperatives are actually quite good. It's a business-to-business transaction with no complicated procedures, and it's a pure seller's market with no hidden agendas.

Customers who buy on their own are the real problem.

They haggle over every penny, they all have one thing in common: the price must be cheap!

Even if the salesperson repeatedly emphasizes that the price is fixed and will not be lowered.

But the other person acted as if they hadn't heard them, muttering to themselves, almost constantly complaining about how hard their family was doing.

Fortunately, when the security department was selecting people, Wu Aiguo specifically chose a few big, burly guys with fierce faces, who were very intimidating just by standing there.

I'm not the kind of person who's easily offended; I really can't stand the pressure of them standing next to me and silently watching me.

The members of the security department eat well every day and are full of energy. They have already started some simple exercises.

On one hand, they trained in the manner of the military, and on the other hand, they incorporated training methods devised by Wu Aiguo.

Putting everything else aside, let's focus on building up our fighting strength first.

Just as he was about to go on patrol to other places, Tiger blocked his way, and he reeked of a foul stench.

Looking at this guy's expression, he looked much more haggard than when we first met.

Clearly, the sanitation work these past few days, especially the cleaning of the stinking ditches, has taken a toll on his mental well-being.

"Has the surrounding area been cleaned up?"

As Wu Aiguo spoke, he glanced directly at the surrounding corners.

"The areas that Section Chief Wu requested to be cleaned have all been cleaned up. Section Chief Wu can inspect them now!"

Tiger smiled apologetically, not daring to show the slightest dissatisfaction.

This experience made him realize the power of government officials.

To reiterate, unless he no longer wants to operate in the capital, he'll have to bow down to someone like Section Chief Wu.

The worst part is that he's not in the right either, which makes things even worse.

Wu Aiguo nodded, then turned and wandered around the store and the factory area, not even missing the stinking ditch that still emitted a foul odor.

It was indeed cleaned quite thoroughly!

The nearly 100-meter-long stinking ditch has been cleaned of all the silt and garbage.

He only glanced at it and was overwhelmed by the deep stench, let alone Tiger and his underlings. They probably wouldn't be able to get rid of the stench on their bodies for a while, even if they used up a bar of soap.

"Now that you're done, let's go back!"

Wu Aiguo nodded in satisfaction and said solemnly, "Be a good person in the future, and don't cause trouble everywhere. Other units may not have a temper as good as mine!"

"Yes, yes, Section Chief Wu is right to reprimand me!"

Tiger kept bowing and scraping, which seemed quite out of place with his physique.

"This one……"

Wu Aiguo turned to leave, but seeing that the guy looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated, he asked curiously, "What's wrong? Is there something else?"

"Section Chief Wu, I've heard some news, but I'm not sure if I should say it!"

Tiger hesitated, knowing that betraying his fellow gangsters could have serious consequences.

Once the news leaks, his life in Deshengmen will probably not be as easy and comfortable as before.

But at this moment, he really wanted to befriend Wu Aiguo.

The Drum Tower area is not far from Deshengmen!
These days, although he is busy cleaning, he has also witnessed the booming business of the Gulou Repair Shop.

Judging from this trend, it's only a matter of time before the repair shop's influence expands to the Deshengmen area. Who is Wu Aiguo?

The head of the security department at the Gulou Repair Shop wielded considerable power, though not immensely.

Once the factory's security department becomes arrogant and domineering within its sphere of influence, it can be truly tyrannical, far surpassing even the local police station.

"Speak your mind, or shut up!"

Wu Aiguo said irritably, "What are you stammering about? Do you want to continue cleaning the streets?"

"No, no, it's like this!"

Tiger was startled; he really didn't want to continue cleaning.

The stench emanating from him has kept him from even entering his own home for the past few days. If this continues, even his lover might run away.

“The men under Master Fo from our Dongcheng District have been active around the Gulou area lately. I saw it and just wanted to give them a heads-up!”

"Buddha?"

Wu Aiguo asked curiously, "What is that thing?"

His expression immediately changed, and he sneered, "This is the new China, and there are still people calling themselves 'Master'? Do you miss the decadent life of the old society and are you very dissatisfied with the new China?"

"I...I really don't know!"

Tiger was so frightened that his face turned pale. This 1.9-meter-tall man looked timid and terrified.

As expected of a government employee, he was so frightened that his legs went weak.

No longer daring to evade the question, he said directly, "Master Buddha is a well-known old hand in the East City area, and he has a group of shady underlings!"

"Oh, I see!"

Wu Aiguo suddenly realized, then sneered, "Anyone who didn't know better would think that the old Buddha whose grave had been dug up has returned!"

Tiger just gave an awkward laugh; it was really hard to respond to that.

It was only then that he realized that one shouldn't use nicknames indiscriminately.

One wrong move could bring about an unexpected disaster.

If Wu Aiguo's words were to spread, the Buddha would definitely be in deep trouble.

If the security officers in Dongcheng District don't target him properly, they'd be doing a disservice to their uniforms.

"Then, do you know the so-called three-handed men under the Buddha?"

Wu Aiguo didn't mince words and asked directly, "Do you dare to point it out?"

"This one……"

Tiger said with a wry smile, "Could you identify them secretly?"

Wu Aiguo stared coldly at the guy for a long time, until Tiger Brother was sweating profusely, before finally saying in a low voice, "It's possible, but I hope you won't disappoint me!"

After saying that, he waved his hand to indicate that Tiger could leave.

The guy felt like he'd been granted a pardon and hurried away.

As Wu Aiguo walked towards the factory area, he kept thinking.

Why are these pickpockets from Dongcheng District suddenly appearing in the Gulou area?
Regardless, we should give them a profound lesson if we have the chance.

Even in later generations, pickpockets would be considered extremely despicable.

Not to mention the present day, the few dollars that might be stolen could be a family's life-saving money, it's no joke.

Just as I returned to the bustling factory area, I saw my father, Wuzhi, riding back on a secondhand assembled bicycle.

Well, the secondhand assembled bicycles at the Gulou Repair Shop are considered a 'well-known' product in the area.

Many workers living nearby come here secretly to buy one, and the key is that no bicycle ticket is required, which is especially convenient for customers.
