"They are the ones who are just sitting there doing nothing. They don't know anything. They didn't even investigate carefully, but just put the blame on me... wuwu... wuwu..."
Li Qinghe quickly covered his mouth and looked around. Fortunately, it was hot and there were not many people on the road. He breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "Auntie, are you crazy? How dare you say anything?"
Chen Xueru also reacted and realized what a stupid thing she had done, with fear in her eyes.
But even so, she couldn't stop her tears from flowing.
She felt so wronged. From a confident and outspoken clothing store owner who had no worries about food and clothing, she became a street rat who was hated by everyone and had difficulty in getting food in just a few months. Who could bear this?
Seeing her tears streaming down and wetting her hands, Li Qinghe sighed slightly and was about to speak.
Gurgle~Gurgle~
A strange sound was heard.
Then, Chen Xueru, who was crying loudly, suddenly turned red in the face. She stopped crying and lowered her head, not daring to look at Li Qinghe.
Now Li Qinghe reacted and knew what had happened.
Pretending not to hear the voice, he said to himself, "Let's find a place to sit and talk slowly. It's just right. I haven't eaten lunch yet and I'm hungry."
......
Looking at Chen Xueru who was eating voraciously, Li Qinghe really couldn't connect the person in front of him with the elegant and confident proprietress. The difference was too great.
During this meal, he basically understood what had happened.
In fact, things are not complicated. During this period, many things are simple, even ridiculously simple.
It was those conjunctivitis patients who took advantage of this special period to report Manager Gongfang on trumped-up charges.
As for the crime, Chen Xueru has already said it, it is just holding a position without doing any work or anything like that, anyway, it is a reason that makes people want to laugh.
However, this funny reason was actually accepted and even felt quite justified.
In the eyes of later generations, it is normal for experts to be responsible for management. If laymen don’t understand, then they should stop talking nonsense and just wait to get the money. They just need to be responsible for maintaining control.
But in this era, when you are asked to be a public manager, it is to let you manage, not to just eat and do nothing, so this is inaction.
No matter whether it is done well or not, as long as it is done, it is fine. Anyway, it is not your money that is lost, and it has nothing to do with the public manager. If it goes bankrupt, it goes bankrupt.
But if you don’t do it, I’m sorry, if you are reported and the investigation finds that you really didn’t do it, then you will be fired.
Sounds ridiculous, right?
But this was the rule during this period.
Therefore, Chen Xueru's manager Gongfang was in trouble. Once manager Gongfang was gone, there was no one to support her. Chen Xueru, the descendant of capital, was the only one left. She was at the mercy of others. They could simply say that she had sidelined manager Gongfang and was getting closer to capital, and then they closed the store for her.
Originally, this matter could be big or small. If it happened before the storm, it was quite common for the public manager to not take care of things. Not everyone thinks that they are the chosen one and can do anything. If they know they don't understand something, they will let the private manager manage it and will not interfere.
But it’s different now. A lot of people are counting on this kind of thing to gain credit, so they’ll naturally find fault with it. Now that the credit is about to be gained, they accuse you of a crime and you still want to resist?
The world is in turmoil!
So, she was in a miserable situation. She could have just closed the shop, but now all her property was confiscated. The once wealthy woman became penniless in an instant.
After all, she had a bad background, so she was punished. Is there anyone who can overturn her case?
In this era, the punishment for crime was very severe. Otherwise, how could a woman, who was also pretty, want to leave without working for a few days? No way!
Since she lost her source of income, all the things in her home were confiscated and she now has difficulty eating.
She wanted to find a job, but looking around, she found that there was no one who could do anything except business. Moreover, because of her identity, no one wanted her even to be a street sweeper.
But even so, she couldn't even live in peace now. Every few days someone would knock on her door and want to parade her through the streets.
"Has it become so lawless now?"
Li Qinghe frowned. In his previous life, he only read history books and didn't think much of it. But now that he saw it with his own eyes, he realized how unreasonable this period was.
In the eyes of later generations, these people simply do not take the law seriously and are simply rampant. They are just businessmen, and even if others earn a lot, as long as they earn money cleanly, there is no reason to cause trouble for them.
But in this era, this is original sin, it is not allowed to exist, and even living in peace is a luxury.
"What are your plans for the future?"
Li Qinghe wanted to help her.
It doesn't matter if he doesn't know. There are so many miserable people. Who does he think he is? How can he take care of them all?
But they had already met and were acquaintances. He couldn't bear to see him being bullied and treated like a scoring machine.
Chen Xueru wiped the oil stains from the corners of her mouth and said with a wry smile: "What kind of plan do I have? I'll just live one day at a time. Who knows how long I can last."
This trend came too fast, so fast that many people, including her, were unable to react.
It didn't matter to her, because by the time she felt something was wrong, it was too late.
In today's environment, if you want to go somewhere else, there is no channel. There is no other way except to bear it.
Even though there are people sneaking over from Gangcheng every day, they are all from nearby areas. The imperial capital is so far away that there is no other way except to run over before the wind starts.
