Bringing space to the countryside, others eat bran while I eat meat
Chapter 6 Meeting Gu Changgeng Again
Shen Ning was too lazy to argue with her, so he just repeated, "I want a bowl of beef noodles and two meat buns."
The waiter taunted, "Hey, you can eat if you want, but do you have a ticket? Do you have money?"
Shen Ning was not angry. He took out the envelope given by the Youth League Office and asked, "How much do you want?"
"Oh, you're just pretending to be rich. It's thirty-five cents in total, and I need three taels of grain coupons and two taels of meat coupons."
In this era, being able to work in a state-owned restaurant is something that everyone envies. Although the salary is not very high, the treatment is really good.
The waiter thought he was superior and looked down on Shen Ning's peasant appearance. He could not hide his ridicule in his words, "Why, you can't bear to leave? If you can't bear to leave, then get out of here and don't delay our business!"
"What is your attitude, comrade? There are big words on the wall saying 'Serve the People'. Is this how you serve the people?"
A sonorous and slightly majestic voice sounded behind him. Shen Ning turned around and saw that the person was Gu Changgeng.
Shen Ning lowered his eyes and sighed at his bad luck.
The waiter, who had just rolled his eyes and was leaning lazily against the counter, immediately stood up straight.
With a red face, she stammered in defense, "She...she can't afford the money and the ticket, and she can't delay other people's meals. We all seem to be very...busy..."
Gu Changgeng's eyes fell on Shen Ning again, and he saw the thin girl calmly put the food coupons, meat coupons and scattered money on the counter, "You count, not a penny less is all here."
After saying that, he turned around and found a seat in the corner to wait for dinner to be served.
The waiter's face instantly turned red with embarrassment. He counted the money carefully twice to make sure there was no problem. He felt even more embarrassed and could only put the money away with a gloomy face and walked into the kitchen in shame.
There were only two people left in the lobby. Shen Ning thought of the bowl of porridge and still said hello, "Comrade, what a coincidence. By the way, I haven't given you the money for the porridge and the medical expenses yet."
"No, but as far as I know, your house was robbed and nothing was left. Where did you get the money?"
Gu Changgeng sat across from Shen Ning, with a stern and burly figure, and a terrifying aura, and he was just about to say, "Leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist!"
A state-owned restaurant suddenly felt like an interrogation room.
The little girl looked dejected like a deflated ball, her big round eyes drooping slightly, her eyelashes curled and long, her palm-sized face looked extremely fragile, and she looked like a pitiful little girl who had given up on herself.
Gu Changgeng narrowed his dark eyes slightly, as if he had seen through her disguise, "You won't tell me?"
The little girl in front of him raised her round, cat-like pupils, which were misty and slightly red at the corners, giving her a look of having given up everything.
"Yes, I got this money in an illegal way. I stole the household registration booklet from my family and registered Wang Baozhu to go to the countryside. The money I am spending now is the subsidy given to her by the Youth League Office."
Su Bai's fingers rummaged through the bag and placed the snow-white envelope on the table, "Except for the meal money, the rest is here!
It was Wang Baozhu who should have gone to the countryside. They occupied the house my father left me, spent the pension my father left me, and wanted to drive me to the countryside and let Wang Baozhu take over my job. They even refused to give me the subsidy for educated youth going to the countryside. I cannot swallow this!
I should thank the thief, after all, these are my things, I would rather have them stolen than have them sold cheaply to them!"
Gu Changgeng tapped the table with his fingers. The police were very efficient. In just one hour, they had investigated the Shen family's affairs clearly. He naturally knew that the girl's situation was not easy.
He lost his mother at a young age, and after his biological father died, he had a hard time making a living under his stepmother. When he finally turned sixteen, he was able to go to work in the factory, but his stepmother schemed against him and he would soon have to go to the countryside.
Even rabbits bite when they are angry, let alone humans.
Gu Changgeng sighed and pushed the envelope back. "Keep it and buy more things. Life in the countryside is not easy. What are you going to do next?"
A dark light flashed in Shen Ning's eyes. As expected, his bet was right. Instead of hiding it and arousing suspicion, it would be better to tell it as 70% true and 30% false. This would help clear himself of suspicion.
"I'm going to sell my job and my house. I'm going to leave here eventually, so I can't let the Wang family get away with it."
Gu Changgeng was stunned, his eyes raised, and he looked at the thin girl in front of him again, as if he didn't expect her to be so decisive and decisive. She was much better than those who would only complain and shout that fate was unfair.
The noodles had already arrived at this time, and the two of them ate them in silence.
The fragrant beef and chewy noodles soothed Shen Ning's stomach. Thinking of the last time he ate beef noodles was when his father was still alive, his eyes reddened and tears fell.
Gu Changgeng was stunned. Why did this girl cry so suddenly? He hesitated for a moment. He was not a soft-hearted person, but at this moment, he felt a little sympathy for this little girl.
"If you encounter any difficulties, please tell me. I don't mind helping you within my ability..."
Shen Ning quickly broke free from her sadness. After all, being able to start over again in this life was already a great fortune. The torture in her previous life had made her heart as hard as iron and indestructible.
He quickly adjusted his mood, looked at the righteous Gu Changgeng opposite him, and smiled. It was like a pillow was delivered to you when you were sleepy. It was really wonderful.
She was just wondering where to report Wang Baomin for speculation and profiteering. Isn't this unprofessional?
Shen Ning did not hesitate and directly poured out all the information he knew. These were all what Wang Baomin let slip at home and he heard them.
Considering the situation in her previous life, she had a bold guess in her mind...
"When I came out of the Youth Office just now, I overheard two comrades talking about something like '10 o'clock in the evening, Xilin Hutong, some transaction...' I suspect they were engaged in speculation and profiteering."
Gu Changgeng was stunned, how did it get involved in the black market? However, the higher-ups have been very strict in this area recently, but a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. These people are all very cunning, as if they had super hearing. They escaped every time we went out to attack them.
Seeing Gu Changgeng's suspicious look, Shen Ning spread his hands and said, "Well, I'll tell you the truth. I heard it from my stepbrother Wang Baomin. He has always been involved in the black market and does no good.
Everyone has the responsibility to report illegal and criminal acts. I am just fulfilling my duty as a citizen. Of course, I do not deny that I have selfish motives. I really do not want their family to have an easy life.
There is no need for you to look at me like that. I am just providing information, but I cannot guarantee whether they will trade at this time or not..."
Gu Changgeng was silent. The little girl in front of him, who was as thin as a chicken, once again refreshed his cognition.
She looks weak and innocent, but she is a ruthless character who plays the pig to eat the tiger. At this moment, she is looking at me expectantly...
"Cough cough..."
