After chatting with the two employees, Meng Sheng left the dry goods store. After thinking about it, he went to the Public Security Bureau to borrow a phone to contact Hou Qunying.
His subordinates are actively expanding the business, and as the boss, he can't fall behind.
Besides, most of the items in the electrical appliance store have been sold, so I have to contact people to replenish some stock.
It was long past closing time, but the Public Security Bureau was still bustling with people.
As the Chinese New Year approaches, more people who have saved money for a year are preparing to buy New Year's goods. At the same time, the number of petty thefts has increased by several times compared to usual.
Director Ge is working overtime at the bureau and hasn't gone home yet.
Meng Sheng had come here several times. After asking people, he found out the location and went to the director's office as he was familiar with it.
Director Ge was smoking with one hand and writing something on a piece of paper with the other. When he saw Meng Sheng come in, he put down his pen, raised his thick eyebrows, and asked, "What's going on?
Something happened again?"
Meng Sheng inexplicably heard a hint of excitement in the man's tone and was speechless.
I have helped him several times intentionally or unintentionally, but this person doesn't wish me any good at all!
Complaining in his heart but putting on a smile, Meng Sheng strode to the table and sat down, saying, "It's okay. The post office just closed, and I'm a country boy who doesn't know much about the city, so I had to come over to borrow your phone."
"You're just a country boy who doesn't know the city well, but your electrical appliance business is so successful that everyone in the county is jealous!"
Director Ge replied with a smile and pointed to the phone on the side, indicating that he could use it himself.
“Where, where.
I was just messing around, and thanks to Uncle Ge's help and care, I was able to earn some hard-earned money."
Meng Sheng smiled modestly, and his men unceremoniously picked up the phone and dialed the number Hou Qunying had left him.
An old man answered the phone. After hearing Hou Qunying's name, he asked me to call him back in ten minutes.
Meng Sheng hung up the phone and waited for the time. Then he saw Director Ge take out a bulging envelope from the drawer in front of him and handed it to Meng Sheng, saying, "If you don't come, I will also send someone to the countryside to look for you.
This is the subsidy the bureau applied for you for the last highway bandit incident in which your cow was killed, and the reward for providing you with important clues.
It's not much, just one thousand yuan. Count it."
The cow was beaten to death, but the body was returned to me, so logically I wouldn't be able to get much compensation.
I guess most of the thousand yuan is a reward for providing clues, or a thank-you gift from others.
It should be that he wants to repay the favor but doesn't want to be involved with me anymore.
Meng Sheng thought of the two brothers who were in opposition to each other as soldiers and bandits. His eyes rolled and he took the envelope without saying a word and put it directly into his pocket.
He laughed and said, "What's the point of counting? I can't trust anyone but the police, right?"
Director Ge didn't insist and changed the subject: "Yang Yuchuan, do you still remember?"
Meng Sheng was stunned when he heard this, then nodded: "Remember, my wife's stepfather's son!"
He was the same brat who instigated his wife to break off the engagement.
Director Ge said with a strange expression: "Grandma Yuchuan fell in the snow two days ago and became paralyzed.
The old man is old and seriously injured, so it’s hard to say how long he can hold on.
Plus, it was Chinese New Year, and their whole family was already on their way back."
At this point, he took a puff of his cigarette, squinted his eyes and blew out a smoke ring with enjoyment, then continued: "Your mother-in-law and her family will be staying for a long time this time, and they should come to the village to see you!"
Meng Sheng: ·······.
It is confirmed that Director Ge, who comes from a military background, just likes to watch people having fun.
However, since they are powerful, they can only keep their opinions to themselves.
Meng Sheng didn't want to bother with anyone, but when the ten minutes were up, he simply picked up the phone and made another call.
This time it was Hou Qunying who answered the phone.
Phone charges are expensive nowadays, so it’s better to use public funds. Meng Sheng greeted the person and got straight to the point.
When it comes to purchasing electrical appliances and reselling dry goods and seafood, the money involved is not small.
After finishing the business and hanging up the phone, Director Ge, who had been listening, looked at Meng Sheng with a strange look in his eyes.
Half surprised and half sour, he said: "Good boy, that's fine!
The figures he casually mentioned were in the tens of thousands, which is more than what the rest of us could earn by working our asses off for several years.”
Then, half-jokingly, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Tell me, where does the money come from?
If you come from a bad background, don't blame me for being ruthless and arresting you for questioning!"
"How dare I? I'm absolutely a law-abiding citizen!"
Meng Sheng answered with a smile, and then told him about Feng Yi's family selling tiger bones.
Finally, under the gaze of Director Ge who was envious of his good luck and disdainful of his gigolo, he promised to give two bottles of tiger bone wine to the other person next time and walked out of the Public Security Bureau with his head held high.
From now on, he will be a wealthy man listed in the government, so that if he takes a big step by mistake, people will not have to investigate him and suspect that the source of his huge wealth is unknown.
As soon as he walked out of the Public Security Bureau, Meng Sheng's face quickly turned from sunny to cloudy.
He couldn't feel happy when he thought of Feng Yi's mother.
Even if that woman went to the village to see her daughter, it would never be out of sincerity.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been gone for so many years without any news.
Feng Yijia would definitely not be happy when she saw her mother.
Why don’t people who have disappeared stay missing?
It still annoys people after more than ten years.
Meng Sheng was thinking about something and walked towards the electronics store unconsciously.
When he heard the lively laughter of his family, the expression on his face turned happy again.
The extra things in your brain, whether they are evil or not, are still useful in some places.
Even though my father-in-law has become a ghost, he is still somewhat useful.
If he really makes his wife unhappy, he will definitely give his good mother-in-law an experience she will never forget.
After a lot of trouble, it was almost dark and the two shops outside were closed.
The meal in the kitchen is almost ready.
Seeing Meng Sheng coming home, Meng Ling and Chen Hongxing started preparing dinner together.
The family soon sat around the dinner table, eating, drinking and talking.
Meng Chao took a sip of the scalded Erguotou, looked at the pile of meat on the table, and asked Meng Sheng, who was sitting next to him, "Second Brother, it's useless to have so much money. Your dry goods store and electrical appliance store are doing well. Have you ever thought about opening a few more in other places?"
Everyone in the village knew that Meng Sheng made money selling tiger bones, so his brothers and sisters must have known about it.
Fortunately, they all have ways to make money now, and they are not the kind of people who hate others and laugh at others who don’t, and they don’t have any bad intentions.
Meng Sheng was happy. After listening to his elder brother's words, he shook his head and carefully reminded him: "No matter how busy you are, you must take time to read the newspaper and read the news.
Always pay attention to changes in economic policies and don't take too big steps.
Especially when it comes to hiring workers, I heard there is a standard of seven up and eight down, so it's best not to have more than seven.
If you want to get more goods and sell them for a profit, you can be a middleman. In any case, don’t open too many shops yourself.”
