After hearing what he said, Gao Baoliang immediately ran to the entrance of the wholesale market to check.
Good heavens, a dozen or so thugs who looked like hooligans were repeatedly warning the people who came in to buy clothes wholesale not to purchase goods from their shop.
Anyone who dares to go will be met with a fist.
The man in the lead was the bald guy who had fought with him at the ice rink that day.
He knew that confronting them head-on now would not give him the upper hand, and would only make people even more hesitant to buy clothes from him wholesale.
He could only bypass them and go to the intersection ahead to wait for his usual customers who bought goods from him.
He secretly led people in through the back door and then arranged for them to leave through the back door. In one day, he managed to sell several thousand items.
However, after a few days, Ma Huiwen discovered something amiss and had the bald man send a few men to stand in front of Gao Baoliang's shop.
After they finished the transaction, the group followed the buyer, robbed him of all the goods, and beat him up.
Gao Baoliang couldn't hold back any longer. Cutting off someone's livelihood was tantamount to killing their parents, so he immediately went to the police station to report the case.
Unfortunately, those thugs were hiding in the streets and could not be found at all.
Even if they are found, it will only mean detaining them for a period of time.
After learning about the situation, Lin Chen immediately discussed countermeasures with Jiang Ning.
He knew Jiang Ning had many clever ideas, so it was best to avoid violence in business.
Jiang Ning thought to herself, since they dare not come to pick up the goods, why not deliver them to their door?
Establish your own logistics system.
Lin Chen thought it was feasible. "Baoliang, you should find a way to recruit people. The people you recruit should not only be able to deliver goods, but also have some fighting skills."
Gao Baoliang agreed, "That's a good idea. If they dare to cause trouble again, our people won't be pushovers."
He had already decided that he would go to the police station tomorrow to inquire if there were any able-bodied men who were about to be released from prison.
This was a story he heard when he was a criminal investigator. It was about a chemical plant built near a village. The villagers would often steal things from the plant, which greatly bothered the plant's leaders.
There are security guards in the factory, but when they catch unarmed villagers, they can only issue warnings.
Emboldened by their newfound power, the villagers became even more brazen in their thefts.
Later, someone suggested to the factory leaders that they hire a recently released murderer as a security guard.
Knowing that a murderer could really kill if pushed to the limit, the villagers stopped stealing from the factory.
Soon, Gao Baoliang learned about a convict who had been released early, whose murder more than a decade ago had caused a sensation.
Because he accidentally killed his mother while trying to protect her, he was not sentenced to death.
On the day he was released from prison, Gao Baoliang picked him up on his motorcycle.
When he saw Gu Hu walk out with a shaved head and a fierce look on his face, he knew it was him.
Gu Hu was quite surprised when he heard the purpose of his visit.
"I used to be a murderer, aren't you afraid?"
“I’m not afraid, but I hope someone is. I’m offering you a decent job, one hundred dollars a month, and if you do well, you can get a raise later.”
Gao Baoliang leaned against the motorcycle, a hopeful smile on his face.
Gu Hu was very moved. He had thought that he would face discrimination and be disliked when he re-entered society, but he did not expect to find a job so quickly.
"Okay, I'll work for you."
He readily agreed.
He went home to see his family once, and then went to work at the wholesale market.
He was an indigenous person, and although he had been there for more than ten years, he could still find the general location.
After starting work, he took on the task of delivering goods to customers' homes.
For this reason, Gao Baoliang even bought him a motorcycle.
After a week, he became familiar with the work process and became more and more proficient. The business he had lost gradually returned.
Ma Huiwen was furious. She went to find the bald man and asked him what was going on. He hadn't kept an eye on the people, yet their business was still booming.
Baldy was also helpless. He had already warned those people, but Gao Baoliang delivered the goods directly to their door, and they simply couldn't control him.
Moreover, a new person has joined their shop—the one who was involved in the sensational case of protecting his mother that shocked the entire city back then.
He dared not make any rash moves.
After all, Ma Huiwen only gave him some money; there was no need for him to risk his life.
"Huiwen, if you marry me, there are many things we can do together?" he pressed his advantage.
He was a nearly thirty-year-old bachelor who had never experienced the pleasures of a woman.
He had long coveted Ma Huiwen and wanted to sleep with her for a long time.
Ma Huiwen chuckled and refused:
"You know I have a sick mother to support, how can I possibly be thinking about getting married!"
I wouldn't marry a street hustler like him!
After careful consideration, she still felt that Gao Baoliang was the right match for her.
He's handsome and rich; you could live a life of luxury if you just squeezed a little out of him.
Ma Huiwen returned home seething with anger. When she saw Ma Huijuan hiding at home, too afraid to go out, and her child who was as thin as a monkey, she became even angrier.
"Sister, this can't go on forever. I can't support so many people on my own." She said sarcastically to Ma Huijuan.
Ma Huijuan said timidly:
"How about you find me some odd jobs, like pasting matchboxes or envelopes, anything that can earn me a little bit of money."
I'm really afraid Shuanzi will come looking for me.
There aren't as many restrictions on going out now; you can come to the capital with just a train ticket.
She really didn't want to go back to those dark and hopeless days.
"Sister, why don't you get married? Marry a cripple or a mentally challenged person, at least you'll have something to eat!"
Ma Huiwen continued to offer suggestions.
