Director Lu had already heard about what happened at the Shrimp King. They were being treated like this before the restaurant even opened. Director Lu was disgusted:
"For so many years, this kind of thing hasn't happened on this entire street. Everyone's been so harmonious, but there's this bad apple trying to spoil everything. Install surveillance cameras, and if you catch anyone, send them to the police station. Don't let anyone go!"
Director Lu also roughly guessed who was behind the incident, but the other party acted late at night and was not caught in the act.
There are many shops in the night snack street, and friction is inevitable when doing business. Usually, the two shop owners just put their hands on their hips and curse at each other to vent their anger, and then forget about it. It is quite rare to see someone who is so persistent in causing trouble for others.
When doing business, harmony brings wealth. People would rather not make money than cause trouble for the "Shrimp King", which is simply seeking revenge.
Several of the owners of "Shrimp King" are students, and they are chasing after a few underage students. Director Lu thinks it is unreasonable.
Wen Ying felt that surveillance cameras should be installed not only at the entrance of "Shrimp King", but on the entire street. If a few of them were caught, there would be fewer thieves who cut bags.
"It's autumn now, and the banyan trees on the street should be pruned, right?"
The Night Snack Street is lined with banyan trees. The banyan trees grow fast and have lush branches and leaves, covering the street like green clouds. Because they reduce direct sunlight, the ground temperature of the entire street is lower than other places in summer. This is the advantage of the Night Snack Street that originally attracted diners.
The banyan trees on both sides are the natural air conditioners of the night snack street. Because they grow too fast, their branches need to be pruned every year, otherwise the crowns will block all the light, bringing not coolness but gloom.
When Wen Ying said this, Director Lu understood immediately.
He climbed up and down the banyan tree under the guise of pruning its branches, without attracting attention, and no one would have noticed even if surveillance cameras were installed.
Wen Ying wanted to catch the person who had vandalized the Shrimp King's renovations. Director Lu thought about it and decided this method was feasible. When Wen Ying came out of the neighborhood office, a figure sneaked back to Shu Guobing's seafood stall.
Shu Guobing put his feet on the table and picked his teeth:
"That stinky girl must have gone to Director Lu to complain. Director Lu from the Subdistrict Office has received countless benefits from her and has always been very protective of her."
In Shu Guobing's eyes, no official is a good person. He doesn't understand what ideals and ambitions are. He doesn't believe that Wen Dongrong didn't embezzle money, and he doesn't believe that Director Lu didn't accept the bribes.
The only thing Shu Guobing didn't understand was that Director Lu only accepted Wen Ying's benefits and not his. With Director Lu's support, it would not be easy for Shu Guobing to bring down the "Shrimp King" and drive him away.
After several conflicts, "Shrimp King" did not suffer much loss. Shu Guobing was unhappy as he saw the renovation progress of "Shrimp King"'s physical store was being completed day by day, so he resorted to despicable tricks.
If this happens a few more times and word gets out, diners will feel sick just thinking of the word "Shrimp King". How can they come back to eat there?
Shu Guobing wants to make all the rent and renovation costs of "Shrimp King" go to waste!
When Shu Lu heard that Wen Ying had hurried over, she went to the street office with a very bad face. She was also very happy in her heart, but she did not forget to remind Shu Guobing: "Dad, you have to be careful not to get caught."
Since Wen Ying went to the street office, maybe there will be someone patrolling at night.
Shu Guobing laughed heartily, "Do you think I'm stupid?"
This kind of thing will definitely have to wait until the "Shrimp King" lets down his guard before doing it a second time.
Shu Lu laughed, thinking of the gossip she had heard from her classmates. She took out her phone and sent a text message to Zhao Dong:
"I don't know if this news is useful to you. Xie Qian's parents were called in yesterday. I heard that he handed in a blank paper, and it was Xie Qian's mother who came to school."
Xie Qian stood in the corridor for so long that after evening self-study get out of class, the news spread throughout the school.
Shu Lu only learned the news after evening self-study get out of class.
When I heard that Xie Qian’s parents were called to school, Xie Qian’s mother came to the school. She was a beautiful woman with outstanding temperament.
Shu Lu was very disappointed.
If she had known earlier, she would have gone to block Xie Qian's mother last night.
She has not made any progress on what Zhao Dong asked her to do. If Zhao Dong is not satisfied and withdraws his help to the Shu family, her entire family will be in trouble.
Shu Guobing was looking for trouble with the 'Shrimp King', but Shu Lu didn't stop him.
The more upset Wen Ying becomes, the more likely she will reveal her flaws.
What a shame last night!
How great it would be if she could talk to Xie Qian's mother! If Xie Qian's mother was willing to trust her, she could take the opportunity to drive Wen Ying away from Xie Qian, or even replace Wen Ying and become Xie Qian's friend.
Zhao Dong is so rich, isn’t he running errands for Xie Qian’s family?
If he could be friends with Xie Qian, he could live a good life without relying on Zhao Dong.
