Yu Jiu glanced disdainfully at the young man huddled against the wall, who openly declared he was going to complain. The young man, who had been worried that Xu Zijiang would rush over and beat him up again, immediately lowered his hands upon hearing this.
To file a complaint? What are you complaining about?
Of course, she'd complain to the higher-ups! She's someone of status now, a people's hero even recognized by the People's Daily; she can't be easily manipulated. This isn't over yet; she's determined to get her revenge.
"good."
Xu Zijiang led Yu Jiu out of the interrogation room. This rabble didn't dare to say a word, silently pretending they didn't exist. Only after Xu Zijiang and Yu Jiu left did the young man's lackeys tremblingly ask.
"Brother, what do we do next? Should we bring more people to arrest them? Could they really have some connections and be able to complain to higher-ups?"
Usually, if they have someone they want to arrest, very few can escape, and not everyone dares to resist. But this time, they've run into a tough nut to crack. Not only did they openly assault and rob someone, but they also threatened to file a complaint.
Ordinary people wouldn't be afraid to say such things, but Xu Zijiang is no ordinary person. Could there really be a problem?
"Pah, what are you afraid of? You talk like you're the only ones who would complain to the leaders. Come on, let's go too. We're still injured. I don't believe Xu Zijiang can beat us! It's a fact that his wife is a speculator. If we can't kill him, I'll make sure to kill his wife. Let's see how sad he is then!"
The young man spat and led his men away menacingly. Chen Hong from next door had already been taken away by Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang. Thanks to Yu Jiu's timely intervention, Chen Hong hadn't actually suffered any physical pain, but she was threatened and intimidated, and was quite frightened. She was trembling as she came out, her legs still shaking.
"This place is no place for a human to stay. I'm afraid I won't be able to get out. It's terrifying!"
"I'm sorry, Manager Chen, I've dragged you into this today. I'll apologize properly another day. Right now, I need to find someone to help me. These people are too arrogant and lawless. They say they're engaging in speculation, but does that mean they can just do it? They say they'll arrest people, but does that mean they can just arrest people? I refuse to believe it! I can't handle them!"
Yu Jiu apologized to Manager Chen Hong first, but then she got angry again. She had never been so wronged. If she didn't get her revenge, they would really think she was afraid of him. Chen Hong genuinely believed that she could find a leader to stand up for her; after all, he was someone who had been in the newspapers. Chen Hong nodded in support.
"You go ahead, I'll go back to the department store first. It's probably in chaos there too. If possible, teach them a lesson. They arrested people without warning and tried to coerce and bribe me into confessing. Why should I do that!"
Chen Hong was furious and wished these people would fall from power immediately. They were the kind of people who could just arrest people at will because they had some power. Chen Hong hated this kind of behavior the most.
"Okay, let's go then."
Xu Zijiang and Yu Jiu went directly to Zhou Chunrong, who was the Party Secretary and had extensive connections. Moreover, he knew best about the various honors the couple had received. When Zhou Chunrong heard from Yu Jiu that the people over there had arrested her and even tried to torture her, he immediately slammed his fist on the table in a rage.
"What! This is utterly alarmist! You can't be accused of speculation and profiteering, let alone the two of you! I'm going up there right now to report this, and I'll definitely give you an explanation!"
"Are you really treating officials like a joke?!"
Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang are not only people's heroes who have been featured in the newspapers, but they are also lifelong cadres with plaques, a truly glorious honor. If they are also humiliated, wouldn't that chill the hearts of meritorious officials? Even if Zhou Chunrong doesn't have a good relationship with Xu Zijiang and the others, this matter should still be seriously reported.
Sure enough, as soon as he reported it, the leader immediately gave feedback and made a definitive conclusion: Yu Jiu and Chen Hong weren't just opportunistic; that young man Wang Qiang was simply making a scene and deliberately arresting people! They were the ones who should be arrested!
As a result, the young men, including Yu Shang, were all criticized and dismissed from their positions. It would be impossible for them to act arrogantly in the future. They were even fined 20 yuan each to pay Yu Jiu as compensation for mental distress. Yu Jiu not only suffered no loss from this trip, but also gained 120 yuan in the end.
She's like a money-attracting magnet; she makes money no matter what she does. Losing money? Impossible!
"It's true that comparisons are odious. You weren't threatened, and you even received compensation later."
Chen Hong couldn't help but sigh, her tone a little sour. However, she also knew that the reason for this treatment was because Yu Jiu had made great contributions before. She and Yu Jiu were different, so how could they be compared?
"This is compensation for both of us. Here, manager, I'll give you sixty yuan. I know you were frightened that day, and it was because of our cooperation that you were frightened. How could I take this money for myself?"
Ignoring Manager Chen's sour tone, Yu Jiu generously took out the 120 yuan and gave Chen Hong 60 yuan. Upon seeing that Yu Jiu was really going to give her 60 yuan, Chen Hong immediately beamed, her face practically splitting into a wide grin.
"Are you really going to give it to me? Isn't sixty yuan too much? Actually, the leaders are only doing this because of you. If it weren't for you, we might not even be able to get out, let alone receive this money."
She pretended to refuse, even though she clearly wanted the money, she insisted on being polite.
However, Chen Hong is a very good person. Apart from being a little bit greedy for small gains, she is good at right and wrong and knows how to be considerate of Yu Jiu. Just look at how she agreed to bring An An to work at the department store. If she wanted to make things difficult for you, she wouldn't let you bring the child. So what? What gives you the right to resist her?
Yu Jiu didn't care about the sixty yuan, so she gave it to her directly. Maintaining relationships always costs money, so spend what needs to be spent and don't be stingy.
"No, splitting it in half is fair. Manager, you keep it. Are you saying it's too little if you don't take it?"
"No, that's almost three months' salary for me. I'll take it. You're so generous, sixty yuan is enough for me to buy a big item for the house."
Chen Hong wasn't that greedy. She happily took the sixty yuan and said she would bring Yu Jiu some of her homemade pickled vegetables tomorrow. Her pickled vegetables were absolutely amazing!
"Okay, thank you, manager."
Yu Jiu smiled and said that she only looked away after the manager had walked away happily. At this moment, the dog holding An An came up to her.
"Yu Zhiqing, I did notify you in time that day, so the captain went to rescue you. Can I get a reward?"
The dog asked slyly. He's thick-skinned and never minces words when he wants something; he just asks directly.
Yu Jiu glanced at him, then generously took out ten yuan.
"There's some for you, why are you in such a hurry? Take it and buy some snacks. It's a good thing you ran fast and even carried our An'an, right? Little An'an, were you scared that day?"
Yu Jiu took An An from her mother and rubbed her face against An An's cheek. An An was amused by her mother's actions.
"Hahaha."
She grinned broadly with her pink lips, smiling happily.
"Baby's smile is so beautiful, mua!"
Yu Jiu gave her precious baby a big kiss.
The dog happily kissed the money.
"I'm going to get rich!"
