Chapter 14 When you are out, you give yourself an identity
Zhang Daqing is the gatekeeper of Chongqiao Inspection Station. His daily work is to open and close the gate and manage the parking spaces. When he has nothing to do, he plays with his mobile phone in the booth. However, he has not encountered any troublesome things.
With a monthly salary of 2,600 yuan, I live a happy life.
Today he was riding a 28-inch bicycle and just turned into the street. From a distance he saw that the open space in front of the inspection office was surrounded by a crowd of people.
"Oh no! Could something serious have happened?"
He quickly dropped his bicycle, pushed through the crowd, and squeezed to the front of the booth. After a quick look, he immediately understood.
It turns out he was selling goods at a stall!
"Who told you to set up a stall here?"
As a security guard, he had to have good eyesight. He could tell at a glance that the tall and big Chen Yansen was the person in charge among the four.
"Who are you?"
Chen Yansen quickly scanned him and although he immediately guessed the other party's identity, he pretended not to know and deliberately asked.
"I'm a staff member of the inspection office. My name is Zhang Daqing. You set up your stall at the door, blocking half of the road and affecting the traffic order. Do you understand?"
Zhang Daqing frowned and scolded harshly.
If it were an ordinary vendor, he would probably have been so scared that he would have nodded and bowed, and hurriedly packed up his stall and ran away.
This was the case with Wang Zihao. His face was pale and he was extremely frightened.
Wang Ziyan on the side was a little better and seemed calm, but her pale lips betrayed her.
"Oh, it's Uncle Zhang. Can we talk for a moment?"
Chen Yansen smiled slightly, looking very familiar, and spoke in a particularly friendly manner. He put his arm around Zhang Daqing and was about to walk aside.
"Oh! No wonder this kid is so brave, it turns out he is Zhang Daqing's nephew!"
"But I don't think so."
"Cousins, maybe!"
"Girl, are you still selling it? Install one for me."
Everyone was from the same town and was very clear about Zhang Daqing's identity, so they didn't take him seriously. Instead, they kept urging Wang Ziyan to collect the money and load the goods quickly.
"Young man, have your people remove the stall and set it up somewhere else. Setting it up right in front of my door is a very bad influence."
When Zhang Daqing heard him calling him "uncle" so warmly, and saw that the other person was about the same age as his son, his heart softened, and his tone softened, and he patiently advised him kindly.
"Uncle Zhang, I'm the deputy director of Yangcheng Meimo Electronics Factory. The reason why we put the booth at the entrance of our Chongqiao Inspection Office is mainly for safety reasons."
Chen Yansen introduced himself with a smile.
"Just you? And the deputy director?"
Zhang Daqing grinned, not believing it at all, and couldn't help laughing out loud.
"The factory director is my dad."
Chen Yansen spoke in a fake Cantonese accent, lowered his voice, and approached Zhang Daqing.
"The son of a factory can't just set up a stall randomly!"
Zhang Daqing nodded, his eyes fell on the seemingly expensive suit on Chen Yansen, and he instantly believed it.
After all, in Chunshen, no one would be so showy in the hot summer.
"Uncle Zhang, I don't know, I don't know. Don't worry, I'll tell you slowly! Didn't our county issue a guideline on "Promoting the Economic Development of Surrounding Towns" two years ago?"
Chen Yansen explained slowly.
"Is there? Oh yes, yes, it seems so."
Zhang Daqing had no idea what was going on. He just heard him speak very fluently and professionally, and thought it would be so embarrassing if he said he had never heard of it.
"This document mentions that government and enterprise units with the conditions should provide assistance to unemployed and laid-off employees who are willing to find a way to make a living. I think this piece of land in front of the inspection station is suitable, and I wanted to report it to you. Look, I just set up the booth and haven't had time to tell you yet."
Chen Yansen said seriously with a smile on his face.
In fact, there is such a document, but the content is somewhat different from what he said.
After hearing his explanation, Zhang Daqing couldn't help but feel suspicious.
The other party claimed to be the deputy factory director from Yangcheng. He spoke in a soft but firm tone, reporting and giving guidance all the time.
He was worried that if he insisted on stopping it, he would get into trouble.
To put it bluntly, there is no clear regulation on whether or not to set up stalls in front of the inspection office. Even if someone does set up one, it is the job of the Urban Appearance Office.
This item is not included in the scope of responsibilities of the inspection office, it is completely irrelevant!
"As for the road congestion, I immediately directed everyone to queue along one street, which will definitely not affect traffic."
Seeing his hesitation, Chen Yansen immediately added.
"Among you, who is a laid-off worker?"
Zhang Daqing frowned and looked straight at Chen Yansen, with an expression on his face that clearly said 'Don't treat me as a fool, kid'.
"Uncle Zhang, if we can't sell the inventory in our factory, everyone will be laid off."
Chen Yansen said with a bitter face.
"Okay, okay, let's do as you say."
Zhang Daqing waved his hands helplessly, but finally agreed to Chen Yansen's request.
"Uncle Zhang, these two are our factory's flagship products. Please help check them."
Chen Yansen breathed a sigh of relief, quickly took out an MP3 and an MP4 from his pocket, and then stuffed them into the other person's hands without saying a word.
"This...I can't accept this."
Zhang Daqing's old face turned red and he reacted strongly. He had lived most of his life and had always been upright. He had never taken other people's things for no reason, otherwise he would not have been able to be a guard at the inspection station.
Even though the salary isn't high, there are countless people in this area vying for this job.
"I blame you for not explaining it clearly. How about I give you a 10% discount?"
Seeing that he was trying hard to refuse, Chen Yansen asked tentatively.
"No, no!"
"That two discounts!"
"Young man, I really can't accept it. I'm not being polite to you!"
"30% off! This is our factory's cost price. We really didn't make a penny from you!"
Chen Yansen raised three fingers and said seriously.
"Are you kidding me? Such a good thing only costs fifteen?"
Zhang Daqing couldn't stand his nonsense and spat.
"Uncle Zhang has a sharp eye! To be honest, 60% off is its real cost price!"
Chen Yansen pretended to be surprised and exclaimed repeatedly.
"Then I'll buy an MP4 player at the 40% discount you mentioned."
Zhang Daqing was so flattered that he took out the money and paid for the goods without hesitation. When he spoke, he emphasized the word "buy" very much, fearing that others might not hear him.
He doesn't want to give others a chance to criticize him!
"Mouse, give Uncle Zhang a set of gifts and get the best storage bag."
Chen Yansen smiled, turned around and gave instructions.
The best storage bag? Wang Zihao was a little confused when he heard this. Aren’t all storage bags the same except for the color? “Stupid! Just pick any one!”
Wang Ziyan reminded in a low voice.
"Oh."
Wang Zihao suddenly realized what was going on, and he quickly stuffed the data cable and Bluetooth headset into the storage bag, then handed it to Zhang Daqing.
"Tell them to get out of the way."
Zhang Daqing took the things and reminded him kindly.
If you are seen by others, you will not be allowed to set up a stall even if it was originally allowed.
"Okay, don't worry."
Chen Yansen naturally understood the logic behind this. In most cases, if you don't cause trouble for others, others will not cause trouble for you.
"That's good."
Seeing that he understood the situation, Zhang Daqing said no more, got on his 28-bar bicycle, and turned into the courtyard of the inspection office.
"Come on, come on! Uncles and aunts, handsome men and beautiful women, please line up and make way."
"Otherwise it would affect traffic order and it would be difficult for us to sell our goods, right?"
Chen Yansen stood on a bench, holding a megaphone and shouting loudly.
The subtext of his words was quite clear: if there was no queue, he would not sell the goods.
The crowd had no choice but to line up in a long queue, cursing.
"Yensen, when did you become the deputy factory director?"
Wang Zihao tilted his head and smiled sinisterly.
"Mouse, you have to remember one thing, when you go out, your identity is given by yourself."
Chen Yansen ignored his teasing and spoke seriously.
"Boss Chen really says one thing to one person and another to another."
Huang Boxiang, who was standing at the back, couldn't help but complain.
Although he has a simple and honest personality, he is just simple, not stupid. He knows very well in his heart that what comes out of Chen Yansen's mouth is probably nine out of ten false and at most only one out of ten true.
