"Is it really that serious?!"
"I'm not kidding, it's true... It's been almost a year since the policy to protect Erhai Lake was implemented, when have you ever seen the authorities relax their efforts?"
Peach finally realized the seriousness of the situation and said to me, "Wait a minute, I'll go ask the boss for leave, and we'll go back to the inn together."
"Okay, hurry up."
...
In the deep of night, I rode my motorcycle and brought Taozi back to their seaside inn. As Taozi expected, Tienan was asleep. Before waking Tienan, Taozi said to me with great concern, "Since around 2 a.m. last night, he's been constantly picking up and dropping off guests at the airport, and he only stopped when I went to work at the bar... This time, he really did his best to pay off the previous transfer fee... I don't even know how to tell him!"
"Even if you can't bring yourself to say it, you have to say it. This is no joke."
Peach nodded, then nudged Tie Nan. Tie Nan opened his eyes, looking at Peach and me groggily. After a moment, he asked Peach, "Why did you bring him here?"
Peach looked like she couldn't bear it.
I answered Peach's question, "I need to talk to you about something..."
At this moment, I was already weighing in my mind how to say it in a way that would make Tie Nan accept it rationally... In fact, no matter what I said, he wouldn't accept it rationally, so I simply said bluntly, "Sun Jiwei gave me some information, saying that during the Spring Festival, the higher-ups will organize relevant departments to conduct a joint law enforcement operation to investigate guesthouses that have been operating without licenses in the ancient city for a long time, as well as sea-view guesthouses... Among them, the focus will be on cracking down on sea-view guesthouses... The information should be quite reliable, so I suggest you give up the idea of risking making money during the Spring Festival."
Tie Nan sat up straight immediately, his face grim as he asked me, "What do you mean by coming here to say all this?... Is it because you can't solve your own problems that you can't stand to see me making money?"
I restrained myself and replied, "Can we please stop having these misunderstandings? It's really hurtful! ...Besides, my problem has been basically resolved."
Tie Nan sneered: "So you're here to laugh at me?... Let me tell you, you really won't see it, because I don't believe a single word you say."
"I'm not kidding you, is it so hard to trust me just once?"
"When I asked you to come here and open a seaside inn, did you trust me?... Michael, listen to me carefully, don't think that just because you know Sun Jiwei, you're the most powerful person in all of Dali!... There are plenty of seaside inns operating secretly right now... These inn owners have been in Dali for so many years, who doesn't have some connections! Why haven't they heard about it? Are you the one with the best connections?"
