Siheyuan: 55 years, starting from a buyer

But no matter who it is, there must be official power behind him to be able to move freely on the Internet.

Without solid backing, the outcome could be as tragic as Ma San's.

Perhaps Zhao Yong was followed when he went to the transaction, and his identity was revealed by following this clue.

He indulges in illegal activities and ends up stealing items from the store to sell, becoming a criminal who dug his own grave and pretends to be a good guy to catch the thief.

Sister Tao concluded: "He really reaped what he sowed!" Sister Tao was also indignant about this. If this incident affected her as an accountant, she would inevitably be involved in her responsibilities for the sales staff's accounts.

"Alas, I'm afraid I can't escape the blame." Sister Tao sighed helplessly.

Purchasing Li tried to comfort her: "Sister Tao, there is nothing to worry about. We still have Leader Zhao to take care of it. The matter should not get bigger and bigger, otherwise Zhao Yong will face more severe punishment."

Sister Tao smiled bitterly and said, "I hope so. It's really unpleasant to be blamed." Mr. Chen thought to himself that this matter might be resolved privately in the end. Zhao Yong might be terminated from his position or even sentenced to short-term detention. After he is released from prison, he might be able to get protection from his leader Zhao and find a new job.

However, this also means that Leader Zhao will probably be under pressure for this. Even if he is not demoted, some of his real power will undoubtedly be lost, unless he chooses to give up his son, but this option is obviously not very realistic.

At this time, the meeting notice came and everyone gathered in the hall.

When Mr. Chen stepped into the hall, he saw Leader Zhao was already there, with Director Sun and other staff members beside him.

Soon everyone arrived.

An official announced: "Now I have something to report. Last night, we successfully captured the culprit of food by-product theft." There was a murmur among the crowd. The smart ones noticed the absence of Zhao Yong and guessed the approximate outcome.

Director Sun stood up to stabilize the atmosphere and asked everyone to calm down and listen to the officials' speeches.

"After investigation, it was found that this case was caused by Zhao Yong, a salesperson at a food and by-product store, who embezzled money.

We have dealt with it according to the law, please learn from it. "

After the announcement, the official stepped aside.

Director Sun turned and glanced at Leader Zhao.

Leader Zhao stepped forward, bowed deeply to everyone, and said loudly: "Colleagues, hello.

I feel deeply sorry for this, because Zhao Yong’s problem has damaged the reputation of the grocery store and the interests of the country. This is a lack of family education…”

Mr. Chen was listening at the side and felt a little uncomfortable.

As a result, Director Zhao apologized to everyone and assumed the financial losses of the store.

Then, Director Sun stepped forward to dissuade everyone from spreading the incident too much.

The situation gradually calmed down after a few days, and the new employees took up their posts.

The small dispute at the snack shop has come to a temporary end.

After get off work, Chen Sheng became the only person enjoying himself at home, immersing himself in the comfortable private bath.

Late at night, Mr. Chen left the residential area quietly. He had not set foot in that place for some time.

For him, it was a dual experience of killing time and light exploration.

He could find many strange little gadgets there, and sometimes even accidentally bought some daily necessities.

With frequent visits, Mr. Chen figured out some tricks.

In that area, scalpers are the most powerful but also dangerous group.

Those who commit serious violations of the rules will be shot, and those who commit minor violations will not escape punishment either.

This means that many scalpers are hooligans in precarious situations.

He once heard about a case while chatting with his brother Chen Yi at home. A major case had recently been solved in the area near the train station.

The gang transported excess and unusable handicraft cloth coupons from southern Guangdong, Guangxi and other places to the "Sijiu City" in the north, because there was an oversupply of cloth coupons due to the hot and humid summers.

Although this reason surprised him, in that era, businessmen tried their best to find ways to adapt.

It was too hot in the south and no cloth was needed to keep warm; in the north, cloth coupons were in short supply due to the severe cold, but food supplies were plentiful.

This gave rise to a large number of speculative traders.

Chen Sheng was deeply shocked.

However, in those days, it was common to sell any excess bills on hand.

Usually, poor families would sell the allocated cloth coupons or tobacco coupons - for example, the "Erzhu" in the play once took a deaf old lady to sell food coupons.

Although official agencies secretly control the current (hereinafter referred to as ), it is a helpless choice.

The people who gathered there included idle people, spies, retailers, residents of the Eight Great Hutongs who had lost their jobs, barbers, shoe shiners, and even farmers from the surrounding areas.

At this time, it is best not to offend the villagers who come in groups to sell agricultural products, because those who dare to go to the city to sell things must be the warriors of the village.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, the thugs would not take the initiative to provoke them.

When he came near that place, Mr. Chen deliberately covered his face.

As usual, he first looked around outside to confirm that it was still Yang Qiong and his gang who were in charge.

But to him, it didn't matter. Mr. Chen was determined not to have anything to do with these people.

Going deeper inside, Mr. Chen was surprised to find that there were two groups of farmers selling walnuts here, and they were not the ordinary edible kind, but ornamental walnuts.

The ornamental walnuts that were once popular have gradually declined after the founding of the People's Republic of China, especially in recent years.

He had never thought that he would encounter someone selling such precious items in this place, and a sense of novelty surged in his heart.

With the enthusiasm of a collector of antiques, Mr. Chen squatted down and selected them one by one. Soon he picked out a pair of extremely exquisite "Mendun Walnuts" - which are said to be the favorite variety of Emperor Qianlong.

He picked up the walnut and asked the price.

"Three dollars." The dark-skinned man gestured.

Upon hearing the price, Mr. Chen's face darkened.

He realized that he might have been mistaken for a buyer. He offered a bargain price of "30 cents".

“No, it’s too low.

It should be at least twenty dollars. "The black-faced man retorted.

Mr. Chen did not say anything. He continued to look carefully at the other walnuts on the stall and found that the quality was really not comparable to that of his opponent.

Although he liked the walnuts very much, he didn't want to be regarded as a mere .

"I'll do it for ten dollars at most." After some thought, Mr. Chen gave a price.

"It's still too little, at least twenty yuan." The black-faced man explained, "You don't know that the walnut tree in my house was once dedicated to Emperor Qianlong. This is the last batch of nuts it produces. Because of its age, it will be cut down next year."

Seeing that Mr. Chen seemed to be interested, the man next to him added: "Our family is the walnut official who specializes in supplying walnuts to the royal family."

As soon as he uttered these words, the man was kicked by the black-faced man: "You are the one who is called 'Nuclear Officer'!" the black-faced man shouted angrily.

“We are actually from the same hometown.” Another person defended himself with grievance, but when he realized that the black-faced man was about to kick him again, he quickly changed his words: “No, I know him, I know him.

Our ancestors were indeed descendants of the walnut palace, and the fruits of the walnut tree have always been used by the imperial palace.

Mr. Chen looked at these two funny guys and found them very funny.

After thinking about it, he decided to take the walnuts away regardless of whether the words were true or not. "Uncle, judging from your temperament, you don't really need this kind of thing.

Here is a pair of old walnuts passed down from ancestors, which may interest you. "The black-faced man saw that his eyes were still on the walnuts, so he took out his treasure and showed it to him.

After taking the walnuts, Mr. Chen clearly felt that the texture of this pair of old walnuts was excellent, especially the jade-like color, which was very delicate.

"As for this pair of walnuts...even if we price them at one hundred and fifty or two hundred, we may not find a buyer." He changed the subject and talked about the pair that attracted him in the first place.

After hearing what Mr. Chen said, the dark-faced middle-aged man smiled bitterly but said nothing.

However, Mr. Chen continued, “But I like both of these pairs at the same time. I’ll give you fifty yuan and you can take them all.

Please stop haggling.

If you are willing to sell it, I will take it now; if not, I will keep it. "

After looking at each other, they finally agreed: "Let's do as you say."

Mr. Chen took out fifty yuan and gave it to Hei Lian, then took the walnuts and wrapped them in his arms.

"Brother, now that we have this large sum of money, can we start preparing the budget for marrying a wife?" someone shouted from the side.

Before Mr. Chen had walked far, he heard a voice behind him, which almost made him want to turn around and fight back.

In order to avoid more annoying sarcasm, he quickly moved away from the two.

As he walked along the road, he was thinking about how he would enjoy the pair of walnuts.

As for the pair that has been polished, perhaps it can be given to Master Wang Shun as a gift.

Wang Shun has become more and more free and undisciplined recently. His master Wang Ma and cousin Wang Kai have asked Chen Sheng several times to persuade him not to wander around all day, or to help arrange patients to relieve his loneliness.

Mr. Chen left in a state of confusion and with mixed thoughts.

Suddenly, a familiar voice floated from the front.

"Boy, if you want to buy it, just tell me directly. Otherwise, I'm just being nosy!" The scoundrel's voice sounded harshly.

Humph, they must be looking for trouble, and they want to take advantage of the opportunity to blackmail us? Another voice responded, and the tone sounded familiar.

Although he could not see the face clearly after a careful look, from the body shape, Mr. Chen immediately confirmed that this person was his neighbor's Shan Ge - Lin Shan.

Lin Shan did not return with his elder brother Lin Mu before. He had just returned from the Magic City not long ago.

And I was able to meet him through Lin Mu's introduction.

Lin Shan is now facing three villains alone, who are deliberately surrounding and besieging him.

Chen Sheng quietly grasped the weapon hidden in the space under his lapel and hurried towards the battlefield.

Just as the three men were about to take action, suddenly, one of them felt a chill on his forehead and found the muzzle of a gun pointed at him.

"What exactly do you want? You don't even care about Yang Qiong's rules? Do you need to notify him and let him clarify the situation?" Chen Sheng's voice was as cold as an ice spike, which was frightening.

Lin Shan was stunned, and then he recognized that the person next to him was Chen Sheng, the son of his eldest brother of the Chen family, before he could open his mouth to ask questions.

"Get out!" Chen Sheng kicked the leader hard in the abdomen.

The three of them were frightened, feeling the threat of the cold gun muzzle. They covered their aching abdomens and saw from their eyes that the person in front of them was not someone to be trifled with, so they had no choice but to retreat back to their respective stalls.

Mr. Chen didn't talk much. He immediately dragged Lin Shan away from the scene and away from the noise.
