A middle-aged man dressed as a city management assistant, wearing a hat askew and smoking a cigarette, strolled over with an impatient and scrutinizing expression.
Zhang Shaozhong's heart skipped a beat, and he realized something was wrong!
They were so focused on making money that they forgot about this!
He quickly stepped forward, smiling apologetically:
"Brother, brother, I'm so sorry, we're just... just temporarily helping someone out, we'll be leaving right away!"
The assistant supervisor glanced sideways at Ling Qingxue behind the curtain and Ye Meier sitting on the small stool. His eyes widened, and his tone softened slightly, but he still maintained his affected manner:
"Temporary? I see business is doing quite well! Unlicensed medical practice? Illegal fortune telling?"
These are all violations of the rules! Come with me to the team!
Upon hearing that they were going to the "team," Ling Qingxue and Ye Meier's expressions instantly darkened.
Ling Qingxue said coldly:
"We are here to help people and save lives, what wrong have we done? Why should we go with you?"
Night Enchantress even went so far as to start cursing:
"Where did this mangy dog come from? You think you're worthy of letting me go with you? Get out of my way!"
The auxiliary police officer was stunned by the scolding, then became enraged:
"Hey! You're asking for it, aren't you? You dare to swear at me? Believe me or not, I'll confiscate all your stuff!"
As he spoke, he reached out to pull down the curtains and sheets on Ling Qingxue's side.
"presumptuous!"
Ling Qingxue's eyes flashed sharply. Although her spiritual power was weak, her cold aura of someone who had long held a high position suddenly burst forth, startling the assistant administrator so much that he froze in his tracks!
Night Enchantress also stood up abruptly, her alluring eyes flashing with a cold light. Although she possessed no magic, her malevolent aura was still quite frightening.
"You dare touch it? I'll chop off your paws and soak them in alcohol!"
The assistant was stunned by the two sudden and terrifying auras. He usually only bullied small vendors, and had never seen anything like this before.
Seeing the murderous glares from the two beautiful women, he felt a chill run down his spine, but he couldn't back down in front of everyone, so he shouted, his voice trembling with fear:
"This is outrageous! You dare to violently resist the law?! Wait! I'm calling my men!"
Seeing that things were about to escalate, Zhang Shaozhong quickly rushed forward to stop the auxiliary police officer, stuffing the hundred yuan he had just earned into his hand while apologizing in a low voice:
"Big brother! Don't be angry! They...they're from the mountains! They don't know the rules! And they have bad tempers!"
"You're so kind! We'll pack up and leave right away! We won't cause you any more trouble!"
The assistant officer gripped the money in his hand, then glanced at the two still menacing-looking men, feeling a bit intimidated. He went along with it, saying:
"Hmph! You're smart to know what's good for you! Get lost! Don't let me see you again!"
After saying that, he walked away grumbling.
The storm has finally subsided for the time being.
Zhang Shaozhong let out a long sigh of relief, feeling his back was soaked with sweat. He quickly said to the two big shots who were still sulking:
"My two ancestors! Pack your things quickly! This place is no place to stay any longer!"
Ling Qingxue watched the assistant administrator's departing figure, her eyes icy cold.
"How dare a mere clerk be so arrogant and domineering!"
Night Enchantress was also furious:
"If I weren't now in a sorry state, I would have sucked him dry!"
Zhang Shaozhong hurriedly gathered up the bed sheets and stools, while forcing a wry smile:
"Gentlemen! Times have changed! This isn't your place anymore! Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake!"
We've made some money, let's take our profits and call it a day!
He tallied up his spoils and found that he had actually earned nearly two hundred yuan in just over an hour!
Although I was a little frightened, I gained a lot!
"Let's go! Let's have a good meal to celebrate our grand opening!"
Zhang Shaozhong tried to liven up the atmosphere.
Ling Qingxue looked at the crumpled banknotes with a complicated expression, seemingly still bothered by what had just happened, but she didn't object.
Night Enchantress snatched most of the money and counted it triumphantly:
"Hmph! I still earn more! That hypocrite only knows how to give you headaches and fevers!"
Ling Qingxue immediately retorted:
"A seductive woman bewitches the masses with her clever words and flattering appearance; all her gains are ill-gotten!"
"You're just being hypocritical! You're jealous!"
"Shameless!"
Well, here we go again.
Zhang Shaozhong covered his forehead, feeling that his job as an "agent" was fraught with difficulties and had a long way to go.
Accompanied by two big shots who were bickering and nitpicking about where to eat, Zhang Shaozhong headed to a restaurant in town that looked pretty good.
After a hearty meal in the small town, the two big shots continued to criticize the dishes from all angles, from ingredients to cooking methods. Zhang Shaozhong, clutching the remaining hundred-odd yuan in his hand, began to ponder his next move.
They can't stay in the small town anymore; the city management officers are probably still thinking about them.
Moreover, opportunities are scarce here. If you want to find a way to obtain residency and make money, you still have to go to a big city.
"We need to take a bus to the city."
Zhang Shaozhong announced the next steps.
"Riding in a car? Again, one of those metal boxes?"
Ling Qingxue immediately frowned, recalling the bumps and noise of the pickup truck earlier, and looked resistant.
"Can't you find something more comfortable? I'm about to fall apart from all this jostling!"
Night Enchantress also complained.
"Yes, yes, yes! This time, I'll ride a big one! It'll be comfortable! I'll call a long-distance bus!"
Zhang Shaozhong quickly tried to reassure them, but his heart was pounding. Who knew how these two would react to the long-distance bus?
Arriving at the dilapidated long-distance bus station, and seeing the dusty bus reeking of gasoline and sweat, the two bigwigs' expressions turned even more unpleasant.
"This is... a prison van?"
Ling Qingxue looked at the closed carriage and narrow windows with a wary expression.
"The smell is pungent! It's even worse than the dungeons of our Holy Church!"
