Chapter 11: I am still too naive
In her previous life, when she first came to the city, she couldn't find a job, so she started by helping out in a restaurant with the lowest hiring requirements. After working there for two months, she was assigned to work behind the counter. Later, she heard that someone in the west of the city had opened a beauty salon and was recruiting apprentices, who could open their own shop after learning how to do it.
The couple thought that doing odd jobs was not a long-term solution and it would be better to open their own shop, so she went to study cosmetology.
Not long after she started studying, Tan Yanlin found a way and said he wanted to open a home appliance store. So she gave up running the beauty salon and started selling home appliances with Tan Yanlin, and they did that for many years.
Although she did not open a beauty salon, she met some people while studying, and she could do beauty treatments on herself at home on weekdays. Then people next door would ask her why her facial skin was so good. Then she would tell others how to maintain her skin, and she got to know some more people.
Knowing more people not only makes it easier to do business, but you can also hear a lot of gossip.
Yuan Qiwen is the protagonist of a piece of gossip.
Yuan Qiwen is really an employee of the Education Bureau. Not only that, he is also the brother-in-law of Xu Guangyao, the director of the Education Bureau. This is his public identity.
He was secretly Xu Guangyao's pimp, specifically looking for teachers who wanted to be transferred, or parents of students who needed to transfer schools, and hinted that they should pay money to buy quotas or do things for him.
Later, the business developed well and a price standard was formed within the circle.
Transferring to a primary school costs 3,000 to 5,000 yuan for the first primary school and 2,000 to 3,000 yuan for the second primary school.
For junior high school transfer, the tuition for key high schools is about 8,000 yuan, and for ordinary high schools is about 5,000 yuan.
There is a simple way to transfer teachers: 5,000 for exploration, 10,000 for basics, and 20,000 for completion.
Five thousand to explore the way, meaning that without five thousand, you don't even have to think about it, your gift will not be appreciated and the matter cannot be done. Take five thousand and I will show you the situation.
But just looking at the situation, only a few of these have been accomplished, while most have failed.
Ten thousand is basically enough, which means that people can notice your fact, and if they happen to have indicators at hand, they can give it to you.
Another meaning is that if someone else's price is higher than yours, then the indicator belongs to someone else.
It can be done with 20,000 yuan. That means if you pay 20,000 yuan, your problem can be solved regardless of whether there is a target or not. Even if there is no target, we will give you a target.
Making money is one thing, but the incident happened because of lust.
Both of them are lustful. When they meet a good-looking young female teacher who can't afford money, they can get a quota by sleeping with her a few times. If it were in today's world, it would be called a power-for-sex transaction.
During that period, these two old guys were making a fortune and were very successful.
But there are only a few schools in the city, how many students can transfer? Even if they are forced to squeeze in, there can only be so many students in a classroom with 80 or 90 students.
As for teachers, you can't have twice as many teachers for one class, right? Can you have teachers for one subject teach on odd and even days?
As a result, more and more people paid money but failed to get their things done.
Later on, even after paying a high price, the job was still not done. They forced the word "get it done" into "possible to get it done", but the subtext was that it might not be done.
Around May 1994, a young female teacher was slept with by both of them, and there was no news of her transfer.
You can just swallow this loss, but what can a girl who teaches in the countryside do to the leaders of two municipal education bureaus?
But Yuan Qiwen's wife found the girl and pushed her onto the street, tearing her clothes apart. She was still not satisfied even after almost all of her clothes were torn off.
She beat her severely again, calling her a vixen and saying that she seduced her husband.
There were a lot of people watching the fun that day. The girl had already been deceived and bullied, and before she could finish her task, she was severely humiliated. Not only was she too embarrassed to teach, she couldn't even live a good life.
She decided to just throw the jar into the ground, got up and ran to the police station to report the two men for raping her, and to report Yuan Qiwen's wife for intentional injury. She also wrote a letter of complaint to the city, telling the police everything she knew.
Then Xu Guangyao was investigated, and it turned out that there were serious problems.
Yuan Qiwen was then also arrested.
A lot of property was seized from the two men's homes, but it was impossible to return it to those who gave them gifts.
Those who gave gifts did not dare to stand up. That was bribery and it was illegal. Who would dare to say anything?
I don’t know what happened to the girl later, but it is true that Xu Guangyao and Yuan Qiwen were finished.
Think about it, it is 1993 now, and there is still more than half a year before Yuan Qiwen gets into trouble. He can be found, but what if he takes the money but doesn't do the job? Deng Xiuzhen feels that this is not a safe idea.
But who else can I look for if not Yuan Qiwen?
In Tan Yanlin's previous life, it was almost a year after the couple came to the city that they found someone to transfer their child to another school. They found someone they knew after they came to the city, and at that time they had bought a house and obtained a business license, which met the requirements for transfer.
Now neither of them has been to the city and doesn’t know anyone. How can they find someone and where can they find someone?
Without anyone to introduce me, there is no place to give gifts, and it is impossible for my child to transfer to another school.
And how could he tell Tan Yanlin? Tan Xiuwen was a warm-hearted person. He helped him so much because he must have only known Yuan Qiwen's identity and knew that he could get things done, but he didn't know about the dirty things he did behind his back.
Even her cousin Qin Xiuwen didn't know, so how could she, a country woman who rarely went to the city, know? Who would believe her if she told others?
The more she thought about these things, the more headache she got. When she started to have a headache, Deng Xiuzhen recalled a scene.
The sister also said: These people don't have brains. If it were me, I would write down the time and place of each contact with the other party, what I said, how much money I gave, and even what I ate. If he doesn't do something for me, I will show it to him. If he still doesn't do it, I will sue him...
Deng Xiuzhen thought this was a good idea.
But you can't tell this to Tan Yanlin. He is a very honest person. He will only be grateful when others help him and will never doubt him.
It seems that I can only rely on myself, so I must follow.
Having made up her mind, Deng Xiuzhen hurried to discuss it with Tan Yanlin, saying that she had not been to the city for a long time and wanted to go and take a look.
Tan Yanlin didn't think much about it and agreed readily. It was just a little extra money for the car fare. It was rare that his wife changed her ways and started to take care of the family and talk nicely. He just wanted to make her happy so that she could maintain her current good state.
Deng Xiuzhen quickly found a small notebook at home and carefully wrote down what time Yuan Qiwen came today, who he was with, what he ate and drank, what he said, what time he left, what he said to Tan Yanlin, and who he left with. She recorded everything in detail.
I read it carefully twice, making sure there was nothing I had missed, and then put the notebook and pen into a bag.
The next day, the two went to Qin Xiuwen's house early and waited for Yuan Qiwen to come out. They went to the street to have breakfast together and then took the bus into the city.
The bus was shaking like a cradle, and Deng Xiuzhen actually fell asleep. In her daze, she heard people arguing.
"Give me back my money."
"When did I take your money? If I want to borrow money, you should show me the IOU."
"You...you didn't borrow it, so how can there be an IOU?"
"I didn't borrow any money, so why should I owe you any money?"
"You said you wanted me to give you a reward for finding someone to help me. I gave you 5,000 yuan. Did you forget?"
"When did you give me money? You're talking nonsense!"
"No nonsense, I'm keeping accounts here."
"You keep the account? You keep it yourself? Then I'll go home and make a note saying that you took 10,000 yuan from me, so you have to pay me back 10,000 yuan, right?"
Deng Xiuzhen woke up in shock and opened her eyes to find that she was still in the car and there was no one arguing in the car.
She knew that she was dreaming. It really was true that what you think about during the day you dream about at night. She would dream about whatever she was thinking about.
"What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?" Tan Yanlin asked with concern.
"It's okay, it's okay," Deng Xiuzhen answered hastily, recalling the scene in her dream, and all kinds of thoughts began to fly in her mind.
Yes, you kept the account yourself, the other party didn’t sign, and there were no witnesses. How can you prove that someone took your money?
Deng Xiuzhen felt that she was still too naive and thought things were so simple.
Your account is useful to those who are honest, but it is useless to those who are cunning, treacherous or even evil.
