Chapter 70: Newspaper
"Okay, brother, go ahead."
After everything was ready, An Dong went out with ten dollars in his pocket.
At the same time, Zeng Yanni and Yang Enfeng were sitting in the Zeng family's yard.
"Dad, is there anything I can do to help Chuci?" Zeng Yanni's face was full of worry, not understanding why her dad wasn't in a hurry at all.
Zeng Jianming looked calm as he fiddled with several of his books.
"You don't need to take the lead in this matter. It's not that simple. If you step forward, not only will you not be able to help her, but you will hinder her instead."
"Dad!" Zeng Yanni stood up from her chair: "Chu Ci is my best friend, how can I not help you? How can I hold you back?"
She is not stupid. If she really had no brains, she would not come to ask for adults' opinions.
But in Zeng Jianming's heart, his daughter is stupid, at least she can only see the surface.
"Listen to me, you really can't help with this matter."
What he didn't say was that there might be someone behind Sheng Guiren, and that person was quite capable.
Zeng Jianming knew a little about Sheng Guiren. He was quite smooth in dealing with people, but he had some minor flaws. Whenever someone in a higher position said something, he would agree without any hesitation and would only try to please them.
"Then tell me what we should do now? We can't just watch Chu Ci being taken away!" Zeng Yanni sat down angrily.
Yang Enfeng, who was beside her, held her hand and signaled her to calm down first.
Lin Qiu poured a glass of water for Yang Enfeng, looked at Zeng Yanni and said, "You have forgotten what your father did before. He can't be wrong."
Zeng Jianming was once a committee member, and he was the only one present who knew the most about the above matters.
Zeng Yanni finally calmed down a little, but she still wanted to do something to help.
Zeng Jianming opened his treasured book and put it in the sun to dry. Fearing that his daughter might get carried away and mess things up, he said in a low voice:
"Go to the newspapers and tell them about this. Don't do anything else."
Zeng Yanni was stunned for a moment, chewed over this sentence, and suddenly stood up: "I know what to do."
As soon as she finished speaking, she pulled Yang Enfeng and hurried out of the house.
Lin Qiu sighed and sat down: "I think this matter may have started in Beijing."
Zeng Jianming smiled but said nothing.
"Who do you think it could be? Chuci's biological parents? They just can't bear to see Chuci live a good life. How can they be considered blood relatives?"
Zeng Jianming pursed his lips slightly, his eyes dim, "Not necessarily. I guess some people can't sit still and are afraid that she will make a comeback."
Lin Qiu realized something and showed surprise on his face, but soon he regained his composure.
Then her daughter's trip to the newspaper this time probably won't be very smooth.
……
At the town's police station, An Dong was pacing anxiously at the door.
After a while, a man came out and shook his head: "Captain Li has something to do and can't come back for the time being. You go back first."
"Thank you uncle."
Upon hearing this, An Dong did not argue any further. He just responded and left.
Boss Jiang had instructed that if Captain Li was not there, it was okay and he could just go to the newspaper shop again. This was the second thing he had to do.
An Dong pulled his straw hat down low, and his small figure ran across the street, heading straight for the newspaper.
When he ran to the newspaper and saw the people inside, he would not say anything no matter who asked him, but only said: "I'm looking for Guo Huailiang."
The soft-hearted sister poured him a glass of water and kindly advised him: "He is not here now, it is the same if you tell me if you have anything."
An Dong shook his head, his eyes alert under the straw hat: "Then I won't look for it anymore." Before his sister could say anything, he had already run out, and he could only sigh helplessly.
Zeng Yanni's side was indeed not going well, and she always encountered various difficulties on the way to the newspaper.
The most difficult thing was that someone would deliberately bump into her and then lie on the ground to extort money.
By the time they came out of the police station, they didn't know how much time had passed.
Zeng Yanni gradually came to her senses, stopped insisting, and took Yang Enfeng back.
If she doesn't understand, she will become a fool!
It was obvious that someone was deliberately obstructing her from going to town, so it was just as her father said, the matter was not simple, but easy to solve.
It was not until the afternoon that Guo Huailiang, who had just returned from outside, was stopped by a young boy before he even entered the newspaper office. The young boy did not take off his straw hat.
"Are you Guo Huailiang?"
Guo Huailiang was still wondering where the child came from, and nodded subconsciously: "Yes, it is me."
An Dong then looked up and saw more clearly that there was a unique black mole on the man's earlobe.
"Jiang Chuci asked me to find you. Is it convenient for us to go there and talk?"
Hearing the three words "Jiang Chuci", Guo Huailiang's expression became serious. Just as he walked with him to an empty corner, he heard him say hurriedly:
"Boss Jiang asked you to put it in the newspaper..." An Dong explained the whole story and said, "She said you know what to do and she will trust me."
In fact, Guo Huailiang knew roughly what to do after listening halfway.
He smiled and said, "You are very smart and have done a good job. Go back and wait for news."
An Dong looked at him deeply, unlike the other children, and turned and left, but he did not go home. Instead, he found a place to stay.
Guo Huailiang hurried back to the newspaper and asked trustworthy people to help with the newspaper advertisement.
He had previously learned about Jiang Chuci's business of selling health tea and wanted to publish it in the newspaper but was stopped.
At that time, Jiang Chuci said that when the time was right, she would give him the opportunity to put his name in the newspaper.
By that time, it would prove that she had something better than health tea.
Guo Huailiang really didn't expect this moment to come, but he still took action himself.
……
The sky gradually darkened, and the rotten things in the darkness came to light.
There were delicious dishes on the table and the family sat around them. After finishing their meal, the children went back to their room to do their homework, leaving the couple behind.
Sheng Guiren's wife Li Liping saw him drink another glass of wine, thought for a while, and suddenly asked him about work that he was reluctant to talk about: "I heard that you took Jiang Yatou away. Isn't it too hasty?"
As a fellow small town resident, Li Liping naturally also bought health tea and skin care cream.
She didn't know much about Sheng Guiren's report of the matter.
But she obviously did not agree with her husband's behavior.
Sheng Guiren sneered and glanced at her coldly: "Jiang girl? Just a yellow-haired girl with some tricks."
Before he finished speaking, he added, "Walls have ears. You'd better stay away from her. And throw away all the things in the house."
Li Liping thought of the half-full bottle of skin cream in the room, her eyes dimmed: "I don't understand officialdom, but I know that I can't lose the big picture because of the small, and bring disaster to my family."
"You don't have to worry about my affairs. Just do whatever I'm told to do! If I hadn't tried to please those people, you wouldn't be able to have such a good life now!"
Seeing that her husband was angry, Li Liping didn't dare to speak again and ate in silence.
After finishing the meal and clearing the dishes, I returned to the room and looked at my child who was already fast asleep.
She sighed, took the skin cream on the table and threw it into the trash can.
