Chapter 168: Admitting Bad Things
Chapter 175: Admitting Bad Things
People in Bei'an love to have fun, so entertainment venues such as KTV have always been popular in the market.
Summer and autumn are not peak seasons, but this year is a little different. The county is carrying out large projects, and there are too many projects at Xiaozhazi. Many people who have gone out to work have returned one after another. With more people, there is naturally more business.
Let’s have dinner and some drinks, it’s still early!
It’s not time to go to bed yet, so what should I do?
Let’s go karaoke!
Eight o'clock in the evening is when business begins.
A convoy of six Land Cruisers and Prados drove over and blocked the entrance of Hongyue KTV.
Lao Wang got out of a brand new Land Cruiser and looked around.
Looking around, he looks majestic.
The Land Cruiser was bought half a month ago. Lao Wang loves this car the most. He took Dongfeng last year and finally bought one. However, he stepped into the mud when he turned around and the car was taken away by someone. Fortunately, God did not abandon Lao Wang.
At the critical moment, he clung to Jiang Ning's thigh unswervingly. He turned things around again this year, did some small jobs and earned some money. The project in Xiaozhazi Village started, he took on a big project, and bought a Land Cruiser at the beginning of the month.
As the old saying goes, whoever gives you milk is your mother.
If someone can help you at the critical moment, he is definitely your real father.
He wanted to find him his godfather, but his boss didn't agree, thinking he was too old.
The boss is helpless because he is too young, which is a fatal flaw!
As for the other cars, one belongs to Boss Li.
Lao Wang glanced at the people getting off other cars and gathered them together.
The other five cars all belong to other project bosses. Today they are here to do something big, so the display can't be small. Lao Wang specially borrowed the cars from a project boss he knew. He has to put all his effort into completing the tasks assigned by Boss Jiang.
Even if we go back to the time before liberation, we would still be imprisoned for two days.
We have to get this done too.
The proprietress's car wheel was punctured.
That's not bad.
If he could get this done well and make Boss Jiang and his wife satisfied, even if he falls into the trap again in the future, as long as Boss Jiang is willing to give him a hand, it doesn't matter if he falls ten or a hundred times. Looking at it from another angle, this is definitely an opportunity that comes right to his doorstep!
Lao Wang's thoughts wandered, and the more he thought about it, the more proud he became.
But looking at the people they brought, I feel a little dissatisfied.
Young people nowadays don’t hang out with him.
The people who hang out with him are all older.
At a glance, there are only five or six people under the age of 40.
The rest are all in their forties or fifties.
Such a large group of people blocking the door naturally attracted the attention of the people inside the KTV. A woman ran out and saw a large group of migrant workers. Her eyes naturally fell on Lao Wang, who was wearing a suit and tie. She smiled and said, "Boss, are you here to sing? Please come in, please come in."
Lao Wang pretended to adjust his tie, but he was actually feeling very uncomfortable. He said in a very pompous manner, "Forget about singing. I have no interest in singing. Is your boss here? I want to talk to him about something."
The woman said, "The boss is not here."
Lao Wang waved his hand: "Then call him and ask him to come."
When the woman heard this, she knew that he was looking for trouble, so she asked, "Excuse me, big brother, who are you..."
Mr. Wang said arrogantly: "You don't need to know who I am, just ask your boss to come over."
The woman looked around and saw that there were many of them. She didn't dare to confront them, so she said, "Then I'll call the boss, but could you guys please move aside and stop standing at the door, otherwise it will affect our business."
Lao Wang was unreasonable: "I just like standing here, stop talking nonsense and call your boss."
The woman had no choice but to call her boss.
When the boss heard this, he was speechless.
What era is this? It’s not twenty years ago.
When encountering such a thing, of course the first thing to do is to call the police.
The security guard arrived quickly and saw a group of people blocking the door.
A security guard asked, "What do you do?"
Lao Wang replied: "Let's talk to the boss here."
The security guard said, "Open the door and don't block other people's doorways."
Lao Wang cooperated very well. He waved his hand and a group of people immediately moved to both sides.
Another security guard asked, "You their leaders?"
Lao Wang replied: "Yes, I brought the person here."
The security guard asked, "What do you do? What do you want to do with the boss?"
Lao Wang answered truthfully: "They are engineers. They ask their bosses for the money."
The security guard asked, "Where are you doing the construction?"
Lao Wang said, "Xiaozhazi Village."
The two security guards were stunned for a moment, then looked him over carefully from head to toe.
"What project?"
"Build some roads and dig some big ponds."
The two security guards looked at each other. It was widely rumored among the people in Bei'an that anyone who could get a project in Xiaozhazi Village was either Boss Jiang's man or the boss's relative. No matter which one it was, the security guards didn't want to offend him.
The older security guard said, "Don't cause trouble."
Lao Wang nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, leader, we are all good citizens who abide by the law and will never cause trouble."
The security guard looked at the people coming out of the KTV and said, "They are looking for your boss. Let your boss handle it!"
The people at the KTV were confused: "No, they are blocking our door and affecting our business."
The security guard looked at Lao Wang and said, "Tell your people to disperse and stop blocking the way."
Lao Wang asked, "We are not breaking the law by standing here, right?"
The security guard had a headache. They were all a bunch of tough guys. He had already expected that there would be trouble. When thinking about what happened recently, Boss Jiang's wife's car had both tires punctured when it was parked here, but the bad guy could not be found.
This group of people are most likely here for this matter.
Even more unwilling to offend.
The security guard could only say: "Tell your people to move aside a little."
Lao Wang was very cooperative and waved his hand again: "Move aside a little more."
The group of people stepped back again.
The security guard gave another order: "Move the car away."
Lao Wang continued to cooperate and had people move the cars to the sides and open the gate.
The security guard looked at the people in the KTV and said, "Send your boss over!"
The people in the KTV were dumbfounded and said in disbelief: "No, they are obviously here to cause trouble, how can they do this?"
Lao Wang didn't say anything.
The security guard frowned and said, "Don't talk nonsense. How did they cause trouble? They are not breaking the law by standing here, and they are not blocking your door. Can you tell me what they have done that is illegal?"
The people in the KTV opened their mouths but could not speak.
The security guard continued, "I have something to ask your boss. I'm calling your boss to handle it."
The people at the KTV had no choice but to make a phone call.
The two security guards reported the situation to their superiors and then fled.
I don't want to worry about these troubles.
When Lao Wang saw this, he asked someone to stand at the door again.
The car drove over again and blocked the door again.
If anyone comes here to sing, I will just persuade them to go back.
The people in the KTV were very angry, but no one dared to come out and chase them away.
There is no nonsense saying that there is strength in numbers.
Boss Zhao San came very quickly. He was playing mahjong with a few friends. He didn't take the call seriously the first time, but he couldn't sit still the second time. He reluctantly paid the money for a game and rushed over.
I saw six Land Cruisers and Prados blocking the door.
There were more than twenty people blocking the door, and it was obvious that they had bad intentions.
After a few glances, his eyes fell on Lao Wang.
Zhao San went over and asked, "Are you looking for me?"
Lao Wu nodded: "Yes."
"What's your last name?"
"The surname is Wang."
Zhao San asked, "Where did Mr. Wang make his fortune?"
Lao Wang said angrily: "Do some engineering."
Doing engineering work is a broad concept, just like doing business. Opening a small shop selling meat is doing business, and Boss Ma selling fake goods online is also doing business. The same goes for engineering work. Building the Hong Kong-Macao Bridge is doing engineering work, and leading three or five workers to lay bricks is also doing engineering work.
Boss Zhao didn't take it to heart, but from the six Land Cruisers and Prados parked at the door, he knew that this was a big project. It was a project worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and even if he wanted to borrow a Land Cruiser to show off, he would probably not be able to do so.
So I asked, "Mr. Wang, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Lao Wang looked inside and asked: "Let's talk inside?"
Zhao San thought about it and said, "Please!"
So I went inside and came to an empty box.
Turn on the light and sit on each side.
Lao Wang brought in five or six people, and they all stood beside him.
A few people from the KTV also came in and stood next to Zhao San.
It's like two armies fighting each other.
Zhao San asked again: "What does Mr. Wang want to see me about?"
Lao Wang wanted to pretend, but he couldn't really pretend to be able to do it with ease, so he simply gave up and went straight to the point: "A few days ago, there was a car in front of your door with both rear wheels punctured. Did you know about this?"
Zhao San nodded: "I know, is that car yours?"
Lao Wang snorted, "Don't pretend. The Chengguan Police Station has been investigating for several days. Don't tell me you don't know who the car belongs to."
The corner of Zhao San's mouth twitched. Of course he knew who the car belonged to. It was just that it had two punctured tires. If the owner of the car was not of extraordinary status and there was no surveillance here, how could the Chengguan Police Station have gone door to door to check for several days and the car had been parked at the door for several days.
I had already used my connections to check and found out that the car belonged to a teacher at Chengguan School.
The teacher is nothing.
But the problem is that this teacher is the wife of the owner of the Fairy Farm.
Everyone in Bei'an knows about Xianling Farm.
Zhao San asked, "Why did Mr. Wang come here for this?"
Lao Wang nodded: "Yes, do you know who did it?"
Zhao San shook his head: "I don't know."
Lao Wang said, "Then help me find that person!"
Zhao San looked embarrassed: "Boss Wang has found the wrong person. Even the Chengguan Police Station can't find out. How can I have that ability?"
Lao Wang didn't want to reason: "It happened at your door. You have to help me find it."
Zhao San looked unhappy: "This is a bit too much."
"is it?"
Lao Wang came clean and said, "I don't care if it's forced or not, you have to find the person for me anyway."
Zhao San's face was gloomy, but he didn't lose his temper. He had been in the underworld for most of his life, and he had fallen down and been taught a lesson before. He was not so angry that he couldn't keep his temper. He said, "What if I can't find it?"
Lao Wang said cheerfully: "That's easy. Either you find the person for me, or I break one of your legs, and the matter will be over."
Zhao San could no longer bear it: "This is too much. I am not afraid of being bullied. I have been in society for half my life. Don't think that I am afraid of Jiang because he has a lot of money."
Lao Wang was happy: "Brother, you are already several years old, can you not be so childish? It's not that I look down on you, but for a character like you, the boss will lose face if he looks at you for a second. If he really wants to deal with you, you are probably crying in prison now, how can you sit here intact. The boss is magnanimous and doesn't want to bully a small character like you. It's because we, the boss's errand boys, can't stand it anymore, so we come to you for an explanation, don't flatter yourself."
Zhao San's face turned ugly. This was more humiliating than being slapped in the face.
But unable to refute.
What they said is true.
It is really not difficult to take down a KTV owner like Boss Jiang. People who have suffered losses know how indescribable this society is, otherwise how could there be so many false cases.
Not to mention how many people in the entertainment industry are clean.
If the people above really want to mess with you, it only takes one sentence.
This is not a good thing...
Zhao San spread his hands: "I can't help you with this."
Lao Wang asked: "Really?"
Zhao San shook his head: "I am powerless."
Lao Wang instructed a young man, "Xiao Wu, go ask outside. I'll pay 500,000 yuan. Is there anyone willing to go to jail for a few years? If anyone wants to earn this money, bring him in."
Xiao Wu agreed and went out.
Zhao San watched calmly. He was not bragging. He had been in the underworld for so many years and was not easily frightened.
Such scenes are common.
If you can be fooled by just one sentence, what's the point of living in society?
No one in the KTV said a word.
If it were twenty years ago, it would have been done a long time ago.
But now...
I'm not a shareholder of the KTV, so who would be willing to stand in front of the boss?
Times have changed. No one will sacrifice themselves for the boss.
Xiao Wu came back soon, bringing with him an honest worker in his fifties.
The worker came in and asked, "Xiao Wang, can you give me 500,000?"
The corners of Lao Wang's mouth twitched. He was only in his early forties, so it was not wrong for people to call him Xiao Wang. He could only nod and said, "It's not easy to take these five hundred thousand. You'll have to stay in jail for a few years. You have to think about it carefully."
The worker smiled, a little sadly, and said, "What's there to think about? My son wants to buy a house in a big city, and he asked me to raise 300,000 yuan. I don't have 300,000 yuan. If you can give me 500,000 yuan, I can go to jail for a few years."
Lao Wang nodded and pointed at Zhao San: "Okay, break this guy's legs."
Zhao San's face was gloomy, but he remained calm.
The worker glanced at Zhao San and asked, "Do you keep your word?"
Lao Wang waved his hand: "Xiao Wu, bring the bag to me."
Xiao Ba agreed and handed him a black bag.
Lao Wang opened the bag, which contained wads of money. He said, "I have prepared the money. You can take it anytime."
The worker said okay and turned to leave.
Zhao San looked at Lao Wang.
Lao Wang looked at Zhao San.
There was a smell of gunpowder in the air, but the two of them were able to keep their composure.
Zhao Sanjue's Lao Wang San performed.
Old Wang was wondering how long Zhao San could last.
He didn't believe that Zhao San would sacrifice himself to protect his men.
It's just a stalemate.
Time slips away second by second.
Until the old workers who went out come back.
The worker was holding a brick in his hand, and no one knew where he picked it up from.
He came in and rushed directly towards Zhao San without saying a word.
The man, who was originally honest and had a hunched back, had an attitude of "no one else can do it but me" when he pounced on Zhao San. Looking at his posture, it was as if it was a fight to the death, and the brick hit Zhao San's head directly.
Zhao and the other two were all stunned.
I was also scared to death.
Hold the grass!
This is really meow...
Without time to think about anything else, he just rolled over on the sofa.
He rolled to the door, flipped over and jumped up: "Stop."
The worker hit the air with a brick and it hit the back of the sofa.
He quickly picked it up and turned to look at Lao Wang.
Lao Wang was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. This contingency plan was just the worst possible outcome he had imagined. He thought Zhao San would give in, but he didn't. The workers came in and started fighting without asking him any more questions.
Fortunately, Zhao San reacted quickly.
Otherwise, if that brick had hit me on the head...
The consequences are unpredictable.
Seeing the workers looking at me...
Lao Wang calmed himself down, trying to stay calm, and looked at Zhao San: "Can you find the person?"
Zhao San stared at him intently, as if trying to determine whether he was putting on airs.
Lao Wang's acting was barely passable, and he said with full momentum: "Don't think I'm trying to scare you. Five hundred thousand is a lot of money for you, but it's just a drop in the bucket for me. I'll buy you a leg, and you'll be in jail for three years at most. You can decide for yourself."
Zhao San stared into his eyes.
The people in the KTV had already run outside out of fear.
Lao Wang waited for a while, and seeing that Zhao San still refused to admit his mistake, he made up his mind and said, "Lao Zhou, do it."
The workers are ruthless and don't talk much.
As soon as the brick was raised, he was about to rush over.
"and many more!"
Zhao San couldn't hold on any longer and shouted immediately.
The worker stopped and looked at Lao Wang again.
Lao Wang secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Tell me, who did it."
Zhao San had a gloomy face. He stared at him for the last time before turning around and leaving.
Lao Wang was not in a hurry and waited calmly.
The worker asked him, "Xiao Wang, are you going to beat him up again?"
Lao Wang rubbed his scalp and said, "Just sit down and see what happens!"
The worker said okay and sat down aside.
But he didn't put the brick down and still held it in his hand.
Waited for a while.
Zhao San led in a man who looked to be in his thirties.
He doesn't look like an honest person.
Lao Wang took a quick glance and asked, "Who did this?"
Zhao San nodded: "Yes."
Lao Wang stood up, walked up to the man and asked, "Are you an employee here?"
The man's eyes rolled: "Yes."
Lao Wang asked him: "Why did you puncture the tire?"
The man took out his prepared words: "That car parked at the door affects our business."
Lao Wang asked again: "Who told you to puncture the tire?"
The man answered fluently: "No one asked me to do it, I did it myself."
Lao Wang asked him: "Do you know the consequences?"
The man was a little worried: "I'm not sure."
"Snapped……"
Lao Wang slapped the man so hard that he almost fell down.
He covered his face in confusion for several seconds before looking at Zhao San.
That's a grievance.
Lao Wang asked him: "How much money did your boss give you to come out and take the blame for someone else's misfortune?"
The man covered his face and said, "I didn't take the blame for anyone."
"Snapped!"
Lao Wang got another slap on the left cheek.
This time the man failed to stand firmly and fell on the sofa.
After a few seconds, he slowly stood up, covering his face with his hands.
His eyes were full of frustration.
Lao Wang asked him, "Does it feel aggrieved? If you say it wasn't you, I'll compensate you. One slap costs 1,000 yuan, so I'll compensate you 2,000 yuan. Of course, the prerequisite is that you have to tell me who punctured the tire, or who told you to do it."
The man gritted his teeth and said, "I stabbed you."
Lao Wang slapped him again: "Then just take it. You take money from others to help them get rid of disasters. This is what our ancestors said. If you do something bad, you should take the initiative to admit it. If you admit it early, you can just pay for two tires and that's it. But you insist on being stubborn and taking a beating. Two tires cost 1300 yuan, and a slap costs 100 yuan. I'll slap you 13 times, and you don't have to pay for the tires..."
Zhao San looked unhappy and tried not to say anything.
The man was beaten so hard that he couldn't speak.
Both faces soon became swollen.
That's called an aggrieved one.
Lao Wang stopped after slapping thirteen times, not one more or one less.
"This matter is over. We'll play cards together when we have a chance."
Old Wang patted Zhao San on the shoulder and led his men away.
After leaving the KTV, worker Lao Zhou still felt regretful that he had lost 500,000 yuan.
After sending everyone away, Mr. Wang asked Mr. Zhou to get in the car and asked, "Is your family really that short of money?"
Lao Zhou sighed: "If anyone can give me 500,000 yuan, I will do anything for them."
Lao Wang asked him, "How much more is left?"
Lao Zhou had a sad face: "I have collected 130,000 yuan, but I still need 170,000 yuan."
Lao Wang also sighed and gritted his teeth: "You performed well today. I will lend you the remaining 170,000 yuan. You pay me back 70,000 yuan, and you don't have to pay back the remaining 100,000 yuan. Just consider it as a bonus for you this time."
Old Zhou was stunned: "Is it true?"
Old Wang's teeth were almost broken: "You'd better take the money and get out of the car before I regret it. One hundred thousand yuan, I'm not Boss Jiang. If you don't treat one hundred thousand yuan as money, I'll regret it before I can even leave the alley."
Old Zhou snatched the bag from Xiao Wu without saying a word.
He counted seventeen stacks of money and quickly got off the car and ran away.
Lao Wang felt distressed for a while before he drove out of the alley.
After passing the traffic light, I parked the car on the side of the road and called Boss Jiang.
I explained in detail what happened.
He also talked about Lao Zhou's story.
After listening to this, Jiang Ning was silent for a while and said, "Be nicer to the workers."
Lao Wang patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, Mr. Jiang, I have never treated them unfairly."
"so be it!"
Jiang Ning hung up the phone without saying anything more.
The car was driven home the day before yesterday and the tires were replaced with new ones.
Feng Yu had stopped thinking about this matter a long time ago.
Jiang Ning was a vengeful person, so he asked Boss Wang to teach the other party a lesson. It didn't matter who punctured the tire, as long as the other party admitted the defeat. However, he felt uncomfortable hearing about Lao Zhou's story, and he thought about it for a while after hanging up the phone.
Send another message in the second group.
When recruiting workers in the future, we will try to give priority to migrant workers in their 40s and 50s who are in more difficult situations.
That's all we can do.
Something big happened recently, there was a problem with the soy sauce again.
The whole internet was in an uproar.
All the soy sauce and vinegar in my house have been infected and I dare not eat them anymore.
Jiang Ning asked the laboratory to conduct tests to see if there was any problem.
Several newly recruited researchers gave him a list of insufficient equipment.
Want to buy.
Jiang Ning took a look and saw that it was only about one million.
With a stroke of the pen: buy.
The experimental results will not be available until the equipment arrives.
But the problem at hand needs to be solved urgently.
The big brands all have problems, and none of the other brands can make people feel at ease.
Feng Yu bought a lot of seasonings produced by local companies from the supermarket.
I don't know if it's poisonous or not, so I can only eat it for now.
The National Day is coming soon, and Jiang Ning is preparing to go to Australia.
Feng Yu doesn't want to go out and has been studying prenatal education recently.
But Liu Wei wanted to go, so Jiang Ning took him with him.
