Chapter 74 New Types of Fraud (1)
Since winter arrived in Haizhou, citizen complaints have been quite limited: 90% of them have been about "the heating not being warm enough." It wasn't until Jiang Ningyue became a reporter that she realized that such reports could be reported to the TV station.
Jiang Ningyue didn't want to shoot this kind of news. It wasn't that Jiang Ningyue was picky, but the heating company was a little scared when she went there.
What Han Jiajia said is quite interesting and fits the theme of fraud prevention.
Jiang Ningyue turned to look at Han Jiajia, "Do you want me to persuade your mother?"
"Yes." Han Jiajia nodded, "My mother likes you very much."
"Then let's put it on the news and talk about this." Jiang Ningyue said with a smile, "I'll contact the Haining Criminal Investigation Team and see if we can recover your 4,000 yuan."
Han Jiajia was also a little unsure, "Is this really a scam?"
"I think so."
Jiang Ningyue nodded and said, "But whether it is true or not depends on the judgment of the police."
"Can you code it?"
"Of course I will."
"That's no problem for me." Han Jiajia nodded, "I'll call my mom and ask her."
As she spoke, Han Jiajia made a phone call. Not long after, Han Jiajia responded, "My mother agreed. Let's go in the afternoon."
"good."
In the afternoon, several people took Liu Jiawen and went to Han Jiajia's house together.
Han Jiajia is a local who lives in the development zone of Haining City. Her family is relatively well-off. Her mother is a stay-at-home mom, and her father owns a small business. They have a good income and a stable family.
When they arrived at Han Jiajia's home, her evil fleece barked at Jiang Ningyue twice, sniffed her, and began to shake its head and tail.
Han Jiajia's mother enthusiastically took Jiang Ningyue's hand.
"Oh, I've seen you on TV every day, and now I finally see you in person."
"Hello, Auntie." Jiang Ningyue greeted Han's mother with a smile.
The two of them sat on the sofa and started chatting. After a few words, Jiang Ningyue brought up the topic of the Douyin I Ching class.
"Auntie, I heard from Jiajia that you are taking the I Ching class every day now?"
"Yeah! I still have to take notes."
With that, Han's mother stood up and went back to her room to get her notebook. The evil white fleece took the opportunity to stand up and grab Jiang Ningyue.
Jiang Ningyue petted the dog and asked, "Is this a Bichon Frise?"
"Yes." Han Jiajia nodded with a smile, "You like dogs quite a lot?"
“Yes, I had a dog when I was a kid.”
Jiang Ningyue fell into reminiscence. "When I was in junior high school, I went to school in the countryside. Every night after school, it would pick me up at the school gate. It would accompany me even for the dozens of miles of mountain roads."
"What happened next?" Han Jiajia asked puzzledly.
"Then he died." Jiang Ningyue laughed, "My father slaughtered him and gave him some of his dog meat as gifts."
Han Jiajia: “…”
"I remember I cried for half a month and swore never to talk to them again." Jiang Ningyue had a faint smile on her face, as if she was telling someone else's story.
And she was indeed telling someone else's story. People without independent property are not worthy of having hobbies and cannot protect anything. This is a truth that Jiang Ningyue has understood since childhood.
Han Jiajia opened her mouth, not knowing what to say. Fortunately, Han's mother came out again at this time and broke the silence.
"Look, this is what I took notes on."
As she spoke, Han's mother held up a thick leather notebook filled with notes on the Eight Trigrams and the I Ching. "This is all from the Chinese classics, the I Ching. Do you understand?"
"I don't understand."
Jiang Ningyue smiled and shook her head, "How did you get this in the first place?"
"I was watching Douyin and came across a livestream where a master was lecturing on the I Ching. Teacher Ouyang is a true master of Chinese studies, and his lectures were excellent and detailed. I'll recommend it to you later, so you should give it a listen. It's very helpful for your life and work. Look, our flower pot used to be on the balcony, but after Teacher Ouyang adjusted it for me, I feel like our whole home feels much better..."
When talking about this 'Chinese studies master Mr. Ouyang', Han's mother began to talk nonstop.
Jiang Ningyue listened attentively, smiling and nodding from time to time.
Han Jiajia couldn't stand it anymore. "What a bullshit Chinese studies master! She's a liar!"
"Miaomiao! Watch your words!"
Han's mother scolded him harshly, "You're slandering Teacher Ouyang like this, be careful of retribution. Hurry up and say 'Pah, pah, pah'."
This made Han Jiajia blush with anger. "There are so many free videos of masters online, and you insist on learning from this online plagiarist? Besides, my name is not 'Miaomiao'!"
"What do you know?"
Han's mother complained, "Those videos online can tell you about Feng Shui, your horoscope, and help you break your calamity?"
Jiang Ningyue asked with a smile, "Did Master Ouyang help you break the calamity?"
"yes."
Han's mother nodded and said, "Master Ouyang is very good. Not only did he check our family's birth charts, he also calculated that Miaomiao's name is not good. Miaomiao's fate lacks water, so the master changed her name. From now on, you can call her Han Miaomiao."
Jiang Ningyue smiled, "What else?"
"And, that is..."
At this point, Han's mother whispered, "My old man is unlucky for me. I have been in poor health for the past two years, and it's all because of him."
"Come on."
Han Jiajia complained, "You're not in good health because you're old and don't exercise. I asked you to go square dancing, but you refused!"
"Go away."
Mother Han waved her hand in dissatisfaction and continued to talk to Jiang Ningyue, "Teacher Ouyang said that she usually charges hundreds of thousands for a ritual, but we are her students, and she is doing this for charity. That's why she only asked us for 19,800."
Jiang Ningyue nodded, "Have you given the money?"
“No!”
Mother Han complained, "Miao Miao, you won't let me give it to you no matter what! I don't know how to do this transfer either."
Jiang Ningyue nodded. "So you usually take classes in the live studio?"
"Not really." Han's mother shook her head. "We have a special teaching software, and we take classes from there."
Han Jiajia, who was standing by, said, "They promoted it on TikTok and asked them to add her on WeChat. Then they added her to a group, and those who paid could use another app, which was an online tutoring app. I'd already uninstalled it, and then that group tricked her on WeChat."
Jiang Ningyue nodded and said, "Auntie, please trust me for once and don't give me the money yet."
"Why?" Han's mother looked puzzled, but Jiang Ningyue was not her daughter after all, so she was not too excited.
Jiang Ningyue explained, "I suspect this guy is a liar. He comes out to cheat people without having learned his trade well."
"cannot!"
Mother Han shook her head and said, "Teacher Ouyang has Baidu Encyclopedia."
Han Jiajia complained, "Anyone can apply for that."
Jiang Ningyue smiled and said, "Just give me some face and trust me for once. Okay?"
When Han's mother heard this, she hesitated.
Jiang Ningyue continued, "One month, can you wait for me for one month?"
"Okay." Han's mother nodded hesitantly, then said, "What should I do if Teacher Ouyang and the others call me?"
Jiang Ningyue smiled and said, "Just say you don't have the money for now, and the money will arrive next month after financial management."
"All right."
After hearing this, Han's mother nodded.
After chatting for a while, Jiang Ningyue left. Han Jiajia followed Jiang Ningyue out of the house, looking surprised. "Xiaoyue, you're amazing! I've been talking so hard and it's useless. She agreed with just a few words from you."
Jiang Ningyue explained with a smile, "Isn't that what parents do? They believe everything outsiders say, but they won't listen to their own children."
"That's right." Han Jiajia nodded with a wry smile.
"Actually, it's the same when you're a child." Jiang Ningyue added, "You don't listen to your parents either."
