Chapter 38 The Shen Family's Affairs Continued After the Shen Family's Situation Was Completed, and These Bodyguards...
The bodyguards had dug up almost everything about the Shen family.
Not one of them was clean.
Shen Boyang was also implicated and arrested.
Others thought that Shen Boyang's mentor would step in to save him, but instead, his mentor not only didn't save him, but also criticized him for being heartless and ungrateful.
Everyone knew that the Shen family was completely finished.
The younger generation of the Shen family all graduated from prestigious universities. In reality, only one of them got in on his own merit; the rest took other people's university places and were then placed in good companies after graduation.
Now, every single one of them has been investigated and punished, locked up in jail, and awaiting sentencing.
Many families are panicking. Some of their children have already graduated and are working, while others are still in university! Will this affect them as well?
The people I fear most are Wen Ming from the steel rolling mill's publicity department and Deputy Director Fan Chaoyang; their son, Fan Zhongkai, is still in university!
Wen Ming was so anxious that blisters appeared on his lips. He couldn't eat or sleep. He was afraid that the police would come to their house to arrest people, and even more afraid that the police would go to the school to arrest people.
Fan Chaoyang was anxious for a long time, and finally made a decision: he couldn't let his son affect his career; after all, he didn't only have one son, Fan Zhongkai. He silently went to the police station to report himself, saying he suspected his wife had bought a university spot for their son. That's what everyone in the factory was saying, and the more he thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed. His son's grades weren't good, but he had performed exceptionally well in the college entrance exam and was admitted to Haicheng Normal University. He even thought it was a stroke of good luck and asked the police to investigate thoroughly.
Jiang Can quickly informed Wen Ming about the report. Wen Ming was stunned when he arrived at the police station, completely unable to believe it.
Even if Fan Chaoyang hadn't reported it, Fan Zhongkai was still on the bill, so he should have been arrested anyway. But Wen Ming didn't know that; she was still clinging to the hope that if Fan Chaoyang hadn't reported it, their son wouldn't have gotten into trouble.
Jiang Can watched with amusement: "Is he having an affair? Does he want to send his wife and son to jail to make room for the other woman and child?"
Wen Ming, like a madman, yelled, "You're talking fucking nonsense! I'll tear your mouth apart!"
Jiang Can pouted: "Don't be so loud! Luckily this house is soundproof, otherwise Fan Chaoyang would have heard everything. His wife and son are treacherous and vicious, and he tearfully reported them. He's an honest and upright man, and he'll probably have to slap himself later. That's how it's always portrayed in TV dramas."
Fan Chaoyang slapped himself in the face in the room, saying, "It's all my fault. I didn't discover it in time, and they did such a heartless thing."
Wen Ming went completely mad and rushed inside.
Jiang Can didn't pull Wen Ming aside, hoping the two would fight like dogs and create more trouble.
As expected, Wen Ming did not disappoint Jiang Can. He had evidence that the deputy factory director, Fan Chaoyang, was reselling steel rolling mill equipment. As a result, Fan Chaoyang did not need to go home; he could stay at the police station instead.
Fan Chaoyang never dreamed that his foolish wife would have such leverage over him. If he had known, he wouldn't have dared to call the police.
Director Liang ordered the arrest of all suspects who had impersonated others to gain admission to universities, involving more than 20 universities. The case shocked the entire nation.
Victims from the last two years are easier to redress and can re-enroll in school, but victims from a few years ago are mostly married and have children, and coupled with the long period of time they have been away from school, it is difficult for them to return to school.
The schools reissued admission notices, allowing them to re-enroll. Coupled with the substantial compensation they received, they were able to support their families and even have some savings, which was more than enough to cover the expenses of four years of study.
As for how to choose, that's up to the individual.
How can we compensate those victims who have already been murdered, who have lost their lives?
These are things that money can't compensate for, but money can at least make their parents' lives a little better.
The six young teachers who were murdered have also come back into the spotlight. Most of them were murdered because they knew the truth and wanted to expose it. They were all brave heroes.
These are all too heavy. Just thinking about so many innocent deaths makes me want to skin the Shen family and those people alive.
During the crackdown, Shen Boyang, Shen Boxiong, Lin Huixue, and the principal of the county's No. 1 Middle School were all sentenced to death and had all their property confiscated. The bodyguards who committed the crimes were also sentenced to death.
Sun Wenfeng, Yan Wenli, Yang Xingyi, Fang He, and others repeatedly framed Jiang Can and were sentenced to prison terms ranging from three to five years.
Wen Ming had ordered Zhou Lin to set fire to and kill Zhang Kui and his wife, and was sentenced to death. Zhang Kui and his wife returned to testify again and received compensation for their burned-down house.
Those who impersonate others to attend university are subject to eight years in prison and fines ranging from 10,000 to 100,000 yuan.
The teacher involved at the county's No. 1 Middle School was sentenced according to the law and stripped of his teaching qualification.
As for Fan Chaoyang, the deputy director of the steel rolling mill, he was not involved in the university impersonation case, but he was sentenced to death for embezzlement and all his property was confiscated.
The eight-year-long chain of impersonating others to gain university admission has been completely overturned, and Liaoxian County, which was controlled by the □□ and the director of the Education Bureau, has finally regained peace.
Because the incident in Liaoxian was so serious, a nationwide census of college students and graduates was conducted to confirm their identities, and another batch of cases were uncovered.
The state has thoroughly rectified the situation and taken measures to prevent university places from being taken by someone else again.
That's a story for another time.
Jiang Can received 3,000 yuan in compensation, which allowed her to go back to school and retake the college entrance examination. Jiang Can's academic records remained intact and belonged to her.
Jiang Can was commended by the provincial authorities, and because he had previously captured spies, he was awarded a first-class merit.
Shen Lang captured the ruthless bandit and was awarded a second-class merit.
On November 10th, I will attend the provincial commendation meeting.
Both Liu Anqi and Qian Mo have chosen to repeat their university studies. Liu Anqi is currently pregnant and, after communicating with the school, will take a year off and enroll next September.
After returning from Haicheng, Zhou Bing drove to Liaoxian County and presented Jiang Can with flowers, saying, "Wishing you a bright future and all your wishes come true."
Jiang Can accepted the flowers: "Thank you."
The next day, Jiang Can invited everyone to have hot pot in the courtyard. There were three kinds of soup bases: beef tallow, tomato, and mushroom.
Once the broth boils, the aroma of numbing spiciness and freshness fills the air, making it exceptionally fragrant.
The side dishes were also very plentiful, including the usual freshly sliced beef and mutton, tripe, beef aorta, duck intestines, various bean products, and leafy greens. Jiang Can also prepared several kinds of secret-recipe beef slices, pork slices, handmade shrimp balls, beef balls, and chicken balls.
The most popular dishes are Jiang Can's secret-recipe beef and various handmade meatballs. Dipped in the savory and spicy broth of the beef tallow hot pot, they are simply irresistible. Qian Mo, who cannot eat spicy food, prefers the mushroom broth, which has a particularly fresh flavor.
Jiang Can: "Chicken soup with mushrooms, simmered for an afternoon, it must be delicious."
Zhou Bing thought this hot pot was even better than the hot pot in Haicheng! Her favorite was the shrimp balls, which she praised highly, saying, "They're so chewy and fresh, they're delicious no matter how you eat them."
Xu Rao's lips were sore from laughing.
She made the right bet! It would be strange if a hot pot restaurant like this didn't become a hit. She plans to open hot pot chain stores all over the country, and the name will be Volcano Hot Pot Restaurant.
A name that sounds auspicious and prosperous will surely bring great wealth.
This hot pot is so delicious that you'll never forget the taste after just one meal; everyone will definitely be a repeat customer.
Jiang Can raised his glass and clinked it with everyone: "To the future."
Humanity is lovely, and the future is promising.
Life gradually returned to normal. Zhou Bing was very busy. She stayed in Liao County for a day and drove back to the provincial capital the next morning. She left Jiang Can a bunch of gifts, including clothes, shoes, bags and various skin care products.
In Zhou Bing's words, Jiang Can is so beautiful, how can she not dress up properly? Especially her skin, she is young and beautiful now, she looks beautiful no matter what, but she still needs to take care of it, so that when she is thirty years old, she will still look like she is eighteen.
He also left Jiang Can a few scripts, saying, "These stories are all very interesting. Take a look. If there's any role you'd like to play, just give me a call and I'll save it for you."
Jiang Can also prepared a lot of food for her, including a large bag of hot pot base, and about ten pounds of shrimp balls, beef balls, etc., which could be frozen and eaten for a long time.
Shen Lang spent another 65,000 yuan to buy two apartments in the enamelware factory and paid off the high-interest loan in one lump sum.
The couple already owns five properties and have no plans to buy any more.
Now that [the leader] has stepped down, policies may change. If the enamel factory isn't relocated, these five houses will be a burden. However, the couple currently has a good income, so even if they lose the houses, it won't significantly impact their lives.
If all else fails, they can rent it out; the two of them will still live comfortably.
Jiang's Restaurant is doing very well. Fang Yuan has already mastered the craft. His cooking skills are almost a carbon copy of Jiang Can's. Only discerning diners can tell the difference; for ordinary customers, they all taste pretty much the same.
Jiang Can gave him a raise to 500 yuan a month, plus a 20% bonus.
Huang Xiaoling was in charge of the restaurant's accounts. She secretly told Jiang Can, "Boss, don't worry, I will keep a tight grip on our restaurant's accounts and make sure there's not a single dollar off."
Jiang Can smiled and said, "Thank you, Accountant Huang."
Huang Xiaoling was a little embarrassed, "I've only been taking classes for a few days."
Peng Hui had been here for quite some time. She was quick-witted and knew that Fang Yuan and Huang Xiaoling were not Jiang Can's relatives, yet Jiang Can still took such good care of them. So she worked even harder and more diligently, doing her work meticulously and cleanly. She wiped the glass so clean it could reflect light, and the table was spotless. She kept the rags and mops spotless, washing them several times a day.
Jiang Can saw this and gave Peng Hui an extra twenty yuan in wages, encouraging her to keep up the good work.
Peng Hui was overjoyed. Her monthly salary was now two hundred yuan, which was a high salary! She also got room and board, and could even take leftovers from restaurants home to her family.
The former principal of Moling No. 1 Middle School came to Jiang's Restaurant to find her. He first thanked Jiang Can for providing the test papers last time, and then said that some of the test papers were the monthly exam questions of Moling No. 1 Middle School. He said that the teacher who leaked the test questions had been found and had been expelled from Moling No. 1 Middle School. Finally, he asked, "Little Jiang, are you planning to repeat a year or go to Henan University?"
Jiang Can quite likes the old principal, who is decisive and efficient in his speech and actions. She said, "I went to Henan University before and was driven away by teachers and security guards many times. Although the students of Henan University are very excellent and helpful, I still don't like the environment of Henan University. I plan to repeat my studies and go to Beijing to study next year."
Every place has its corrupt elements, but the fact that a school leader could issue a public announcement without conducting an investigation when someone suspected problems with student records speaks volumes.
Moreover, it's been three days and Yu Da hasn't said anything. Does he think she'll definitely go to school?
That's true. Yuda is a prestigious university in Henan Province, and only a few students from a city can get in. In Liaoxian County, only Jiang Can and a boy from the repeat class got in.
If Jiang Can doesn't go to school, he might not pass the exam next year.
But Jiang Can was confident that she could pass the exam this year, and she could get into an even better school next year.
The old principal understood that Xiao Jiang was angry. He didn't try to persuade him, but asked with a smile, "Xiao Jiang, would you still like to repeat a year at Moling No. 1 Middle School?"
Jiang Can nodded: "I'm willing." She also made a condition: she was busy these days and definitely couldn't study in the classroom every day, but she promised that it would not affect her grades.
The old principal said, "As long as your exam scores are among the best, you can skip class every day. But if your scores drop, you have to attend classes as usual. You can't do worse next year than you did this year."
Jiang Can: "I'll go to school to register next Monday."
The old principal exclaimed happily, "Great!"
Next year's college entrance rate is in!
The old principal was forced to stay for lunch by Jiang Can before leaving. Before leaving, he gave Jiang Can a stack of test papers and told her to do them every day, save up the questions she didn't know and ask the teacher. He stressed that she must not neglect her studies, as the college entrance examination was just around the corner and she couldn't waste a single day.
After seeing the old principal off, Jiang Can looked at the test paper and started working on the questions.
In the afternoon, Xu Rao dragged me to check on the renovation progress. All the walls that needed to be demolished had been demolished, the plumbing and electrical work had been done, and the flooring had been laid and was drying. The custom-made tables and chairs were being rushed to completion, and the pots and pans were all ordered from Haicheng and were being shipped here, which should arrive in about ten days.
The signs are all custom-made.
Jiang Can: "What signboard?"
Xu Rao: "Volcano Hot Pot Restaurant, the name is so auspicious! It's sure to be a big hit."
Jiang Can's lips twitched. Volcano Can? She thought for a moment and said, "Flaming Mountain?"
Xu Rao also thought the name was good: "Okay!"
We're also looking for a chef. We need to find someone reliable. We need to learn all the recipes before we open. We can't expect her to be the one making hot pot broth and handmade meatballs all the time; she'd be exhausted.
Now that everyone's a boss, who still wants to do these things?
Didn't you see that she's now handing over all the cooking duties at Jiang's Restaurant to Fang Yuan?
They also needed to find a reliable farm to deliver beef, mutton, pork, chicken, fish, and other ingredients daily, ensuring the freshness and safety of the ingredients. Before they could even start looking, Xia Wen approached them, asking what ingredients Jiangji Restaurant needed. He offered to deliver to their door and guaranteed to provide the best meat.
Xia Wen's pig farm is famous in the county. The pigs they raise are more fragrant than other pork. They also raise chickens, ducks and fish. They don't raise cattle or sheep, but they have a wide network of connections and can supply them.
Jiang Can and Xu Rao reviewed the quality of the meat provided by Xia Wen and immediately made the decision.
From now on, Xia Wen will supply all three restaurants.
Xu Rao's spicy hot pot restaurant was renamed Flame Mountain Hot Pot Restaurant Branch, and she gave Jiang Can 30% of the profits, and took the lead in using Jiang Can's various recipes.
This store was doing very well, with a daily net profit of 1,000-1,200 yuan. A 30% profit margin would be 300-400 yuan. After using Jiang Can's recipe, business became even more booming, with profits reaching 1,500 yuan. However, the restaurant was too small to seat so many people, and the turnover rate for hot pot was low, so the highest they could earn was only this much.
Xu Rao is now looking forward to the opening of the new store every day. The restaurant is big enough and has enough customers. If both floors can be filled, with each small table costing 50 yuan and each large table in the private room costing between 100 and 200 yuan, the daily revenue could probably reach 5,000 yuan.
She took a deep breath; the profit should be three thousand.
Of course, that's just her thinking; such a big store can't possibly be packed!
That noon, Jiang Can was busy at the restaurant when he overheard the guests talking about a big event in Liao County: the enamel factory was supposed to be demolished!
The young man speaking was beaming with pride, “Recently, a lot of people have been asking me about my old house, offering up to 35,000 yuan. But my parents haven’t agreed. They’re just waiting for the demolition compensation. Our house has three bedrooms, so we estimate we can get over a million yuan in compensation.”
Before Jiang Can could even feel happy, an old man drinking in the restaurant chuckled, "Come on, what are you bragging about? The chemical plant is really going to be demolished! I heard they're going to build apartment buildings! Several people have come to buy my son-in-law's house, and they've asked for as much as 40,000 yuan per square meter. Who would sell a house at a time like this!"
The two started arguing on the spot. The young man said the enamelware factory was in a good location and should be demolished, while the chemical plant was in a remote location and had no use for it. The old man said the chemical plant was in a good location and would definitely be demolished, while the enamelware factory was old, dilapidated, and small, and would never be demolished.
The argument escalated to the point where the two almost came to blows.
Everyone quickly tried to dissuade them, and one auntie said, "Stop arguing! Someone is offering a high price for my old courtyard. I heard that our alley is going to be demolished too! Is Liaoxian going to be rebuilt?"
Jiang Canbai was overjoyed, thinking that the enamel factory was really going to be demolished!
It's likely that someone took the opportunity to spread false information in an attempt to sell the house at a high price.
Sigh, she also wants her property to be demolished and redeveloped; that would truly be getting rich overnight.
