Chapter 71 Complaint
From what Lu Yanping said today, we know they won't give up. If there was only one Lu Yanping, they wouldn't be afraid. If Lu Yanping was capable, the store wouldn't be closed.
But it’s hard to say for the Zhu family. Zhu Yujiao’s father works in the provincial government, and they don’t know how much power he has and what methods he might use against them.
But you can’t live in fear of thieves every day, right?
But Gu Jianguo felt that going to Zhang Zijun's father, Zhang Jingtong, was a bit risky. If he was principled and fair, perhaps the problem could be solved by going to him, but what if he wasn't?
"Don't worry, let's think of other ways. I will go to look for Zhu Qingjun in the next two days." Gu Jianguo said.
Gu Erhui nodded, but she had already decided to go find Zhang Jingtong. She also thought of Gu Jianguo's concerns, but she felt that Zhang Jingtong was very likely to do the notarization.
Putting aside the newspapers' praise for him, let's talk about Zhang Zijun. He was someone who did what he wanted, but he didn't do anything out of the ordinary when she rejected him. This shows that he had good upbringing.
So, she wanted to take a gamble.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Jianguo was not in the store. She told Wang Yueju and Gu Yimin that she was going out for a while and would be back soon, and then she took the bus to the outside of the provincial government.
She knew that if she rashly said she was looking for Zhang Jingtong, she would definitely not see him, so she could only block him at the door.
It was very cold, and standing outside the provincial government, Gu Erhui's nose was red from the cold. The gatekeeper saw her standing outside for a long time and came over to ask, "Miss, what's wrong?"
"I'm waiting for someone." Gu Erhui smiled at the old man guarding the door.
The old man hummed and went back. He was afraid that Gu Erhui had some grievance and was waiting here to stop the leader's car. He had seen this kind of thing many times.
However, the girl was smiling while speaking, so she probably didn't stop the car because of some injustice.
This is such a beautiful misunderstanding.
Six o'clock was the end of the working day, and people began to emerge from the government compound, mostly on bicycles, though there were also cars, though not many. Gu Erhui stared at the cars.
Although she didn't know which car belonged to Zhang Jingtong, she knew his license plate number must be 00001. She heard this from a conversation between several customers.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have said she was looking for Zhang Jingtong. How could she, an ordinary person, just meet someone of such a high position like him?
After waiting for a long time, she saw a black car drive out with the license plate number 00001. She quickly stood at the gate of the government compound. The old man at the gate was startled and ran over. But when the old man ran to Gu Erhui, she was already standing in front of the car.
"Let's go and see what's going on?" Zhang Jingtong said to the driver when he saw a girl standing in front of the car.
The driver received the order and quickly opened the car door and got out. He walked to Gu Erhui and said, "Miss, what can I do for you?"
Gu Erhui's heart was so nervous that it was about to jump out of her chest. She told herself that since she had already come here, she could not retreat, she could not retreat.
"I have something to discuss with Mr. Zhang about Zhang Zijun." She said, her voice trembling.
When the driver heard that it was Zhang Zijun's business, he hurried back to report to Zhang Jingtong.
"Let her get in the car." Zhang Jingtong said to Gu Erhui through the car window.
The driver quickly led Gu Erhui to the car door and opened it for her. Gu Erhui saw Zhang Jingtong inside. Although she smiled at herself, she was still too nervous to lift her feet.
"Don't be nervous, come in." Zhang Jingtong had a smile on his face and his voice was gentle. Gu Erhui took a deep breath and stepped in to sit down.
The car started moving again. Gu Erhui sat upright, her body tense as if on end. She looked at Zhang Jingtong and said, "I... I..."
"Let's talk at home if you have anything to say." Zhang Jingtong was still smiling, but Gu Erhui felt a great deal of pressure. She nodded, and then the car remained silent.
Gu Erhui suddenly realized that she had been too blindly trusting of the most powerful official in the province. She asked him to go home because she didn't want the driver to hear their conversation, because what he wanted to say was about Zhang Zijun.
No matter how naughty Zhang Zijun is, he is still his son.
Gu Erhui's mind became clearer and clearer, and she began to think about how to file this lawsuit. The same meaning, expressed in different words, would have different effects.
The provincial Party committee's family compound wasn't far away, and they arrived in a moment. Gu Erhui got out of the car and followed Zhang Jingtong upstairs, then followed him into the house. She didn't dare look around, and then she heard Zhang Jingtong say, "Sit down."
She walked over to the sofa and sat down, watching him pick up the teapot, pour a cup of hot water, and pass it to her. She took the cup and said with a smile, "I'm a little presumptuous."
Zhang Jingtong sat down opposite him, still with a gentle smile on his face, "Don't be nervous, just say whatever you want to say, there's no need to hide anything."
"My name is Gu Erhui, and my family sells clothes on Zhongshan Road." As soon as she spoke, Gu Erhui no longer felt nervous, and she continued:
"Zhang Zijun and Zhu Yujiao bought clothes at my store once. After that, Zhang Zijun came to my store several times and said he wanted to be friends with me. I refused, and he didn't insist. But two days ago, Zhu Yujiao came to my store, slapped me in the face without saying anything, and cursed me.
Then, yesterday, Zhu Yujiao's cousin came to my shop and said that Zhu Yujiao's father worked for the government and that killing us would be as easy as crushing an ant. She also said that our shop would close sooner or later. I was very scared and blamed myself for bringing such a great disaster to my family. I thought about it all night and felt that I should come to you.
Zhang Jingtong looked at the girl in front of him. She was very beautiful and spoke clearly. Although she was a little scheming, her eyes were clear and upright. Overall, she was a good girl and more suitable to be the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family than Zhu Yujiao.
This time Zhang Zijun had a good vision.
"What do you want me to do?" Zhang Jingtong asked after taking a sip of tea.
Gu Erhui lowered her eyes and organized her words, "I just want my family and I not to be implicated in this matter."
Zhang Jingtong frowned slightly. It seemed that the other person really looked down on Zhang Zijun!
What a loser!
"Why did you reject Zhang Zijun?" Zhang Jingtong asked again.
"He has a partner, and I want to live a more relaxed life." Gu Erhui was not nervous at all at this time. She had said what she needed to say anyway, and there was nothing she could do if it didn't work out.
"Don't worry," Zhang Jingtong put the teacup on the coffee table beside him and said, "I will warn Zhang Zijun and the Zhu family. If they do anything bad to you and your family again, come to me again."
Hearing what he said, Gu Erhui breathed a sigh of relief. She had made the right bet.
Standing up, she bowed to Zhang Jingtong and said, "Thank you!"
Zhang Jingtong sighed, what a good girl, but Zhang Zijun was not lucky.
