Originally the female CEO of a high-end catering brand, Xia Enruo drowned while vacationing in Hainan to watch the underwater starry sky and transmigrated to the 1980s. Her past life was full of gl...
Five yuan?
"Yes, five yuan! As long as you do as I say."
"I don't believe you for a second. Five dollars? I bet you don't even want to give me 50 cents?"
The beggar didn't believe Jiang Ting's words at all, especially since her behavior just now was so unreasonable and domineering.
When Jiang Ting heard that the man didn't believe her, she took out two yuan from her pocket and showed it to him.
"Hey, see this? Here's two dollars. If you do as I say, I can give you these two dollars first, and I'll give you the remaining three dollars after it's done."
"What if I can't find you after I've finished? Wouldn't that mean you've tricked me!"
"Don't worry, I can't lie to you. I'll be free at 3:30 pm after you finish your business. Wait for me under the big tree at the school gate, and I'll give you the rest of the money."
Are you serious?
Why would I, a college student, lie to you? You're down on your luck now, begging on the streets. What is there for me to lie to?
The beggar thought about it again and realized that made sense. He was so poor that he had to beg, so what could he possibly be fooling himself about?
"I don't do anything immoral. Although I'm a beggar, I don't want to go to jail."
"Don't worry. By the way, if you can bring a few more brothers, I can give each of them another dollar."
"What exactly do you want me to do? Why did you call so many people?"
"Across the street, there's a restaurant called Ke Lai Xiang, do you see it?"
"I see it! Isn't that the newly opened shop? The hottest shop on the whole street, everyone knows it!"
"Didn't you say you could compose songs? Why don't you take a few people to the shop to sing, and then beg for food? Scare all the customers away and make her unable to stay in business."
Their food is the best! You can't go wrong begging there, and I'll even pay you afterwards.
The man was stumped. Why would he bring people to someone else's shop to cause trouble for no reason? He immediately refused.
"No, I said that even though I beg for food, I won't do anything immoral or harmful."
They didn't provoke me, so why should I go to their store and cause trouble? If they call the police, that'll be a real problem. I can't do that!
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ting realized that this beggar was quite difficult to beat. He was almost starving to death, yet he still had to worry about this and that. No wonder he could only lie on the street begging for food.
"Who said she didn't provoke you? You just don't know it. Let me tell you, the owner of that shop has done a lot of wicked things and bullied all the small business owners in this area."
"Is that really true?"
Jiang Ting saw that the beggar's bowl was empty and knew that he had been lying there for a long time without getting anything, so she made up a lie to fool him.
"I'm asking you, haven't you been lying here all morning and gotten nothing, no one gave you money or food?"
"That's right."
The person nodded.
"You can't get food, all thanks to the Kelaixiang Restaurant. The owner of that restaurant hates beggars and people living at the bottom of society the most."
People said that if she sees anyone pitying these people, she'll secretly punish them and make sure they can't make a living on this street.
If she sees a college student giving money to a beggar out of pity, she will break that person's arm.
In any case, beggars and people living at the bottom of society are destined to die and will not have a good life.
They say that only by being completely and utterly dead can one contribute to cleaning up the garbage in society, enabling society to truly progress and the country to develop.
Everyone in this area has been beaten up by that boss and is terrified. Nobody dares to give you anything. Tell me, isn't she ruthless? Has she done anything truly heinous?
Jiang Ting fabricated a story, speaking with such conviction that the listener became enraged, jumped to his feet, and angrily demanded:
"Are you telling the truth? Is it really true?"
"Why would I lie to you? You saw it yourself, you didn't get anything all morning. The boss probably just wants you guys to starve to death!"
I didn't even listen to what you were saying, but I felt indignant on your behalf. I just happened to run into you today, so I wanted to tell you this so you can vent your anger.
Giving you money is only out of pity for how badly you've been bullied, to the point where you can't even survive. It's truly pitiful!
The beggar was thoroughly enraged by Jiang Ting's words and stomped his feet in anger.
"I never expected that the owner of Ke Lai Xiang would be so unethical, bullying the entire street and preventing us from surviving. He's truly heartless."
Don't worry, I'll take a few of my brothers who beg with me to her shop tomorrow to beg for food. By the way, didn't you want me to sing? What song?
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ting was secretly delighted. All her efforts hadn't been in vain; she had finally gotten him to willingly do something for her, even if it only cost a dozen yuan.
By ruining that Xia Enruo shop, I'll make a fortune. And if that bitch Mao Xiangling keeps gloating, I'll make sure everyone knows that anyone who tries to steal the man I've set their sights on will suffer the consequences.
"I'll tell you the lyrics, and you just need to compose a song and sing it according to what I say."
Jiang Ting told the beggar everything she wanted to say to Xia Enruo. Before leaving, she gave him two yuan. The two agreed that the beggar would bring about ten other beggar brothers to go with her.
After it was all over, Jiang Ting gave each of the others a dollar.
Back in her dorm, Jiang Ting jumped for joy, finally able to vent her anger.
My cousin told me that Xia Enruo is two-faced, always playing the victim and seducing men.
I ran into her at the clothes stall last time, and she was indeed a very articulate person.
As expected, birds of a feather flock together. Mao Xiangling has finally found her tribe. Two sluts hanging out together is truly the epitome of despicable behavior.
However, she won't be able to gloat for long. Once those beggars cause trouble tomorrow, her restaurant's reputation will be ruined, and it will surely go out of business soon.
Then I'll see how smug Mao Xiangling can still be. Yuan Qiang will definitely dump her, and my chance will come!
Jiang Ting became more and more excited as she thought about it, and unconsciously hummed a song and started singing.
"What are you so happy about? You seem quite pleased. You even bought some fruit today."
"Of course something good is going to happen. Here's an apple for each of you."
Jiang Ting's roommate couldn't believe that she was sharing fruit with everyone. Since she met Jiang Ting, she had always eaten alone and kept everything she bought in the cupboard.
I even locked it, afraid someone would see it. Today is really unusual.
"What good news is it? Tell us."
"It's a secret. You'll find out tomorrow. I don't need to tell you."
Xia Enruo and Ge Qiuqin were busy at the store, and the case finally came to an end. She also received compensation for emotional distress, although it wasn't much money.
But I felt much better; finally, the evildoers were punished by law and did not escape justice.
With the customized banquet business booming, she is now unable to take care of laundry and cooking.
We decided to hire two more people for the shop, otherwise we simply wouldn't be able to handle the workload.
