Jiang Xiaoli noticed their movements and said to the tattooed man, "Let's go, brother, let's go to the police station and have a word with them."
The tattooed man shook off the hand that was grabbing his sleeve from behind. "Why go to the police station? This lousy restaurant is no good, I'm not eating here!"
As he spoke, he strode out of the store.
Jiang Xiaoli reached out to stop him, and the tattooed man frowned. "Little girl, are you never going to stop?"
She pointed to the pile of broken teacup pieces that the waiter had swept up, "Shouldn't you pay for breaking things?"
The tattooed man gritted his teeth and said to the people behind him, "Give it to her!"
Jiang Xiaoli said with a smile, "One cup is 10 yuan, two are 20 yuan, thank you."
The man behind her took out 20 yuan from his wallet, threw it to her, and then followed the tattooed man away.
Before leaving, the police officer reminded them, "If anyone causes trouble in the store again, remember to call the police."
"Okay, thank you."
Jiang Xiaoli turned to Xiao Shi, a male waiter in the store, and said, "Let's see where those people went."
About ten minutes later, Xiao Shi came back and reported to her.
“Miss Jiang, I followed them all the way. They went into the back door of ‘Su’s Restaurant’.”
Jiang Xiaoli had heard of "Su Ji Restaurant," a well-known Sichuan restaurant in the area.
She frowned. "Okay, I understand."
My mother's "Guizhi Restaurant" can only serve a maximum of 12 tables of guests each day, from noon to afternoon. She really doesn't understand why "Su Ji Restaurant" is targeting her family.
After dinner, Li Guizhi rushed over, "Xiao Li, I only found out what happened in the front yard from Xiao Shi and the others. Why didn't you let someone call me? What if those men had started a fight!"
Jiang Xiaoli put her arm around her shoulder and said, "It's okay, Mom, it's alright now."
Back home, Jiang Xiaoli took out her phone and called the lawyer who was cooperating with "Jiang Li Ji".
"Attorney Jin, could you please give me the phone number of the clerk I mentioned last time?"
Attorney Jin readily handed her the phone and said, "Ms. Jiang, please feel free to contact me if you have any legal questions."
"OK."
Jiang Xiaoli obtained the phone number of the clerk, Song Guoqiang.
Rather than a clerk, she saw her as a detective, someone who could help investigate things that were not easy to find.
She made the call, and perhaps because Attorney Jin had already made arrangements, Song Guoqiang said he could meet to discuss the details as soon as he heard her name.
Jiang Xiaoli arranged to meet at a coffee shop in a shopping mall near her home.
Song Guoqiang has a very ordinary appearance; he's the kind of person you absolutely wouldn't notice if you threw him into a crowd.
She smiled and asked, "Mr. Song, can you help investigate anything?"
Song Guoqiang pursed his lips. "Miss Jiang, I only take jobs that don't violate national laws and regulations."
Jiang Xiaoli smiled and said, "Hehe, I was just asking out of curiosity. The task I want to give you is very simple."
I need to know all the information about the owner of "Su Ji Restaurant" on Xingshun Road, especially any negative information about its operations, and whether the restaurant has any scandals.
Song Guoqiang breathed a sigh of relief. "No problem, is that all?"
Jiang Xiaoli smiled slightly, "It's our first collaboration, so this is enough, Mr. Song. How long will it take to get the materials I need?"
Song Guoqiang silently calculated in his mind, "Three days, 1000 yuan."
“Sure.” Jiang Xiaoli raised her glass and clinked it with his. “Wishing us a pleasant collaboration in advance.”
"It's a pleasure to work with you."
After receiving the deposit from her, Song Guoqiang quickly left the coffee shop and disappeared into the crowd.
Jiang Xiaoli sat by the window, gazing at the scenery outside, lost in thought.
The tattooed man who appeared at "Guizhi Restaurant" today crossed her line.
She considers herself to have a pretty good temper now, and she is very tolerant of some scoundrels she encounters in business.
However, "Su Ji Restaurant" should not target Li Guizhi.
Since they sent people to cause trouble, they shouldn't blame her for being ruthless. An eye for an eye is fair.
Suddenly, someone tapped the transparent glass in front of her twice. Jiang Xiaoli came to her senses and saw that it was Dafu and Chang Yue, who were out on a date.
She waved to them, and the two of them came in and sat down opposite her.
Dafu noticed two cups of coffee on the table. "Little Pear, did you make an appointment?"
Jiang Xiaoli nodded. "Yeah, I just met someone here, and I was spacing out after we finished talking when you two showed up."
Chang Yue said with a smile, "Hehe, after we came back from the First Garment Factory, Brother Dafu insisted on taking me out shopping. I just couldn't do anything about it."
Dafu held her hand. "Before, I had no one to advise me, so I just bought clothes randomly. But now that I have you, why don't we buy matching outfits?"
Jiang Xiaoli picked up her coffee and took a sip. "Are you two showing off your love in front of me?"
Chang Yue's face was full of the blissful expression of a girl in love. "Xiao Li, come shopping with us and give us some suggestions."
She quickly waved her hand, "Stop, stop, I don't want to be a third wheel!"
The three of them walked out of the coffee shop together. The two young couples went shopping for clothes, while Jiang Xiaoli drove home alone and lay there like a corpse.
When Zong Jia and Zhong Yuan came back that evening and called her for dinner, she was shocked to check the time.
"It's already 6:30?!"
She actually lay sprawled on the sofa, lost in thought, for over three hours.
Is she in a meditative state?
Zong Jia reached out and ruffled her slightly messy hair. "What's wrong? Do you think we came back too late? There's been a lot of work at the company these past few days, so we've been trying to get home as early as possible."
