Chapter 74 The Devil's First Appearance GZF1 (jhssd)

"You guys started the fire?"

Zhao Hongjun asked with a stern face. He had been on the third floor, handling reception arrangements, and he breathed a sigh of relief as the meeting officially began. But then he noticed black smoke coming out of the first floor. He rushed over immediately, bumping into Yang Zi and the others.

"Yes, that's them! This woman came to sell fish. The fish was of terrible quality, and when we refused to buy it, she started throwing a tantrum and spilled our baijiu all over the floor. She even threatened to set fire to our house if we didn't buy it!"

Yang Zi was the first to complain and directly turned the tables. He winked at the cook, and the cook immediately nodded in agreement.

"Yes, Director Zhao, we tried to stop her, but this woman wouldn't listen and even set her on fire!"

"Yes, she's a shrew."

"Director Zhao, get the police to arrest her!"

The more they spoke, the more arrogant they became. Qin Qing sneered, "If I had set the fire because my fish sales failed, why would I stay here to put it out? You all talk about being brave and righteous, but how come you ran away faster than anyone else after the fire started?"

These few simple words made Zhao Hongjun's heart skip a beat.

When he rushed over, Yang Zi and his companions were indeed frightened and were running out. They did not look like they were going to put out the fire.

However, the man and woman had their outer clothes soaked in water and fell to the ground, with most of them burned. Their bodies and faces were all black, and their hair was burnt and curled. Compared with the glamorous Yang Zi and others, the two looked extremely embarrassed.

"Did you put out this fire?"

When Zhao Hongjun asked this, Yang Zi immediately interrupted, "Director Zhao, we were just going out to call for help, not to run away! Even if they put out the fire, it doesn't change the fact that they set it. Our box of liquor is gone, and the office is burned like this. She has to pay for it!"

"Yangzi, I sold the fish first, and you agreed to take it. You took the opportunity of paying to insult me. I refused, so you let these people help you arrest me. I could only break the bottle and threaten you to let me go. This fire was started by you dropping a match when you wanted to arrest me. The responsibility from beginning to end lies with you, not me!"

Qin Qing was well-organized and quick-witted. When Zhao Hongjun heard her, he already had a rough idea of what she was talking about.

He had heard a little about Yang Zi's style a long time ago, but although this guy was just a small purchasing director of the Commercial Bureau, their Yang family had complex connections in the officialdom of the provincial capital, and it was not easy for them to be busy.

Otherwise, Yang Zi wouldn't dare to be so arrogant.

"Comrade, what is your name?" Zhao Hongjun asked politely.

"Director Zhao, you can just call me Qin Qing."

"Comrade Qin, you started the fire, but you put it out and prevented further damage to our hotel, which was a heroic act. Let's settle this privately and there's no need to take it to the police. Part of this case of wine was burned. You're responsible for compensating for all the damage, and we'll call it a day."

Zhao Hongjun appears to be a benevolent and righteous person, but his words are extremely biased and mean-spirited.

"Pay! I'm telling you, if you don't pay, neither of you can leave!"

"That doesn't have to be that much. Two hundred yuan, Comrade Qin, is this price okay with you?"

Zhao Hongjun looked at Qin Qing with a smile, as if the two hundred yuan was a great gift from heaven.

"What if I don't give it to you?" Qin Qing asked with a chuckle, her red lips slightly parted.

"You won't give it to me? Then you can be labeled an arsonist and paraded through the streets!"

Looking at Yang Zi's clownish face, Qin Qing took out the order form in her pocket.

"Director Zhao, this is the order form Director Yang signed for me to buy fish."

Qin Qing flashed in front of Zhao Hongjun, and after making sure he saw it clearly, she carefully put the order form away.

When he saw the order form, Yang Zi remembered that he didn't think much about it at the time and really signed this thing with Qin Qing!

"The claim that I wanted to set fire because my fish sales were unsuccessful is completely untrue. I didn't want to make a big deal about this, but now you're insisting on forcing me. Fine! Then I'll go to the meeting and ask the leaders if it's okay for you to protect each other and bully the common people!"

Qin Qing took a big step and ran straight out the door, with Lei Zi following closely behind her to protect her.

"Comrade Qin! Comrade Qin! Stop her now!"

Zhao Hongjun didn't expect Qin Qing to be so stubborn. Such a country peasant woman actually dared to bring the matter to the leader.

The provincial governor and mayor are all present at today's meeting, as well as an economist from Kyoto. If things get really serious, he won't be able to keep his position as director of the state-owned hotel anymore.

The cooks and the others tried to pull Qin Qing away, but Lei Zi blocked their way and refused to give in.

"Qin Qing! Tell me, how do you want to solve this?"

Zhao Hongjun shouted loudly and called Qin Qing to stop. He absolutely could not let this matter escalate to become serious, and he had to stop it in time.

"Director Zhao, do you mean you're willing to talk?"

Qin Qing had already run to the stairs in the lobby on the first floor. Upstairs was the conference room on the third floor. She stopped at the stairs and asked.

"Tell me, what do you want?"

"Pay me the money I made from selling fish today, and Yang Zi must publicly apologize to me!"

Qin Qing pointed at Yang Zi. He had no idea how many things like this he had done, so a simple apology was too easy for him.

"You're dreaming! Qin Qing, why should I apologize to a country girl like you who sells fish? You..."

Yang Zi wanted to curse, but suddenly his face changed and he swallowed all the words.

He looked at a man, tall and thin, wearing a neat Mao suit and glasses, gentle and elegant, with an extraordinary bearing at first glance.

The man stood beside Qin Qing, reached out his hand to slightly gather her hair that was slightly covering her breasts, and whispered.

"Are they bullying you?"

The voice was clear and gentle, but it made Qin Qing feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. Her body became tense. She knew who the man standing behind her was without even looking.

Gu Jingmo!

The man who pushed her down from the 40th floor, the devil who controlled half of her life, reappeared in her life silently.

According to the memory of the previous life, he should have returned to Hedong Village on New Year's Eve and taken her away, thus starting her lifelong nightmare, but this life happened earlier than expected.

"Mr. Gu...why did you come out?"

When he saw Gu Jingmo, Zhao Hongjun immediately greeted him with a smile, and the compliment was almost written on his face.

This man is the last disciple of economist Guan Zhongyi, who was invited by the governor. He is also a top student at Jinghua University. It is said that he has a very strong family background, and even the governor takes some care of him.

"I went back to my room to get my notes and happened to hear you talking. What's going on? Did Qingqing have any misunderstanding with you guys?"

Gu Jingmo waved the notes in his hand and asked with a smile, but under the lenses, his pair of Danhuang eyes did not show any smile at all.

Sunny...

These two simple words revealed that Gu Jingmo and Qin Qing knew each other and had a close relationship.

"Mr. Gu, you and Qin Qing know each other, who are you?"

"we are……"

Just as Gu Jingmo opened his mouth, suddenly there was a loud slap, and Qin Qing slapped Gu Jingmo hard in the face with her backhand!
