Xu Zhao, an actress in the seventh and eighth lines, participated in a cultural variety show that was both educational and entertaining. She thought it was just a matter of following the program gr...
Chapter 150: Fraud, a habitual offender
Xu Zhao tilted his head and listened, and when he heard it clearly, he nodded. The voice did sound familiar.
It’s the voices of Jin Suiran and Tang Qianshuo!
Qiao Zhijing is the oldest among the six guests participating in this variety show. He usually bears the responsibilities of the big brother, and naturally he does so now.
"Let's go and see what's going on."
"Brother Qiao," Xu Zhao called out to Qiao Zhijing with a cautious look, "Let's go to the side and see what's going on."
Qiao Zhijing, who had just raised his feet, paused after hearing Xu Zhao's words, and then took them back to where they were, asking in confusion, "Why don't you step forward to help?"
The audience in the live broadcast room were also confused.
[What is Xu Zhao's mentality? When her fellow guests encounter difficulties, they don't ask her for help, but they also shouldn't hinder others from coming forward to help! ! 】
[I’m so angry. I’ve turned into a hater.] 】
[It would be fine if you yourself were unwilling to help, but you also asked Brother Qiao not to help. Do you want Brother Qiao to be scolded by other fans? 】
[Brother Qiao, stop listening to Xu Zhao and come and help! 】
[So urgent, Tangtang and Zhuanzhuan were cheated by a scammer! 】
"If it is really an ordinary incident for the two of them, the PD next to them will definitely help solve it. If it is something that even the production team cannot solve, what we should do is not to rush in to help as this will alert the enemy, but to first understand the situation and make long-term plans."
The antique street is a mixed bag, and not everyone is as kind as the bosses who sell them small items. There are only so many existing cultural relics, and where can there be so many things on the market? In this area, I'm afraid there are many people who cheat and deceive.
When facing these people, you have to be more careful.
"You mean..."
The two looked at each other, and everything was said without words.
Even though Xu Zhao explained the reason, the online criticism of her still did not stop. Those who were a little more rational just waited and saw what happened next.
"Let's go."
The onlookers formed a circle, surrounding Tang Qianshuo, Jin Suiran and the stall owner in three layers inside and outside.
There were so many people watching, and Xu Zhao was not tall enough, so he stood on tiptoe to look inside.
Unfortunately, there were too many people blocking the view, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't see. Instead, Qiao Zhijing used her height advantage to get a general idea of what was happening inside.
"It seems that the two of them broke the stall owner's things, and the stall owner asked them to pay compensation."
"Fake news?" This was Xu Zhao's first thought.
Qiao Zhijing shook his head. "It's not clear yet. Why don't we wait and see?"
Auntie Lao Gao, who was standing nearby to watch the fun, didn't look like she was here to buy anything. She was carrying a blue and white bamboo basket filled with fresh vegetables. She looked like a nearby resident who was attracted by the commotion here.
This was not the first time the aunt had encountered such a situation. She occupied a powerful position as soon as she arrived. It didn't matter if she was short, but she had to be good at making use of the surrounding environment. At this moment, she was standing on the edge of a large flower pot and could see what was happening in the crowd at a glance.
"Young man, is this your first time here?" The aunt suddenly lowered her head and interrupted. Looking at the handsome man and beautiful woman beside her, she couldn't help but say more to them: "This is your first time here, so I'm afraid you don't know that this person is a repeat offender."
"Habitual offender?" Xu Zhao originally thought it was just an accident, but he didn't expect it wasn't the first time. "Since he's a habitual offender, isn't there anyone to take care of him?"
The old lady stood tall, so she had to hold back her words. She squatted down and said, "Who cares about what happens here? This antique street requires mutual consent. Once you buy, you leave. Whether you make a profit or a loss depends entirely on a pair of eyes."
"But from what I heard, it's not a matter of buying and selling."
Qiao Zhijing was sure that he had not heard wrongly. Tang Qianshuo and his friends must have broken something and were being held hostage by the boss. This had nothing to do with the business.
The old lady tilted her head and looked at Qiao Zhijing with an inquiring look, then glanced sideways and saw two people holding cameras behind her, and her expression paused.
"Auntie, we just heard the noise and came over to see what was going on. Can you tell us what happened inside?" Xu Zhao held Qiao Zhijing down and stopped him from saying anything more.
The old lady curled her lips and looked at the two people holding cameras standing not far away. She pointed at the cameras and asked, "Are these two people filming you?"
"Yes, Auntie, we are recording life. If you don't want to appear on camera, we won't include you." Although Xu Zhao was speaking to the auntie, he was also speaking to the cameraman at the same time.
Some aunties are very keen on appearing on TV, but others are more cautious.
As expected, as soon as Xu Zhao finished speaking, the aunt covered her face and said, "I don't care how you take pictures, just don't take me in."
The cameramen were professional in this regard. From the very beginning, they aimed the camera at Xu Zhao and Qiao Zhijing, avoiding passers-by as much as possible. Naturally, the old lady's face was not captured.
"Since you two are good-looking like stars, I'll tell you," the old lady still covered her face and waved at the two of them, motioning them to come closer.
Xu Zhao took two steps forward and moved closer, then he heard the old lady say, "I've lived near here for decades, and I only encountered something like this in the past two years. The guy here is not a good person, and his stall is also evil. Things are always broken every now and then."
The aunt is already old, and she knows very well that although it is okay to watch the fun, there are some things that one cannot say carelessly.
Xu Zhao naturally understood and asked directly: "Did no one call the police?"
The old lady leaned over and whispered, "Some people are willing to spend money to avoid disaster, but you won't always run into someone rich. I called the police, but within two days the man was released and continued to sell things."
"Zhao Zhao, this is a scam!" Qiao Zhijing was stopped by Xu Zhao before he could finish his words.
"Auntie, thank you. We'll leave first." After Xu Zhao said this, he said goodbye to the aunt and pulled Qiao Zhijing aside.
"Let's call the police." Qiao Zhijing took out his cell phone directly. Xu Zhao did not stop him, but stood there, not knowing what he was thinking.
This must be reported to the police, but how should this matter be handled?
Xu Zhao was lost in thought when she suddenly felt a weight on her shoulder. Someone was patting her!
She looked up and saw a man and a woman. The woman was waving at her and greeting her with a smile: "Zhao Zhao, it's really you!"
"Sister Yici!" Xu Zhao didn't expect to meet an old friend whom he hadn't seen for a long time here.
She was so excited that she hugged him and said, "Sister Yici, long time no see!"
Wu Yici also excitedly hugged Xu Zhao with her backhand, while the man beside her looked unhappy, and said unhappily: "Zhao Zhao, you have such a big brother, didn't you see it?"
