Chapter 52 Chapter 52 Trumpet Hero
The security guard took another piece of chicken and put it in his mouth. As he chewed, he said, "The chicken is good. You are so generous that you are willing to give me chicken."
Jiang Xi smiled and said, "Thanks to the uncle for helping me, I'll treat you to some home-cooked food. It's nothing special. I just want to ask you for a favor today."
The security guard, eating his chicken, asked, "What else do you need me to do for you? Just tell me."
The power of chicken is endless.
Jiang Xi said, "My family's zaolu has a unique secret recipe. No other place has this flavor. I'd like to ask the security guard to help me promote it. It doesn't need much effort. Just mention that there's a zaolu stall in front of the steel plant called Wu's Zaolu. It's authentic, delicious, and affordable."
The security guard...
Jiang Xi gave a bright smile. She came to get close to the security guard today not only to get in smoothly, but also to take advantage of the security guard's connections.
Don't underestimate the job of a security guard. He welcomes and sees off guests every day, and knows almost everyone in the family compound. If he promotes Wu Ji Zao Lu a little, the business will definitely be better.
The doorman, the aroma of the braised chicken still lingering in his mouth, said, "Alright, I'll help you spread the word a little bit."
Jiang Xi climbed up the pole and said, "Thank you, uncle. If anyone is interested, they don't need to buy it at the steel factory gate. Could you please keep an account for me? If anyone wants to buy it, please remember that I will deliver it to them the next day."
The security guard...
Jiang Xi: "Don't worry, uncle. I won't let you work for nothing. If you help me promote it in the early stages, I'll give you a ten-cent commission for every copy sold. The more you sell, the more I'll give you. If you're still worried, we can sign a contract first. I've always been honest and trustworthy in business, and I won't let you suffer any loss."
Jiang Xi wanted to directly develop the security guard into a salesperson. She only needed to pay a dime and could earn several times the money.
The security guard hesitated for a moment after hearing this and said, "Is your braised pork stew selling well? Otherwise, I'd spend all day making it and still not make much money."
Jiang Xi assured: "Don't worry, uncle, my family's braised stew has a lot of repeat customers now. The employees of the steel plant all say it's good. There is no bad stew, only not enough to sell."
The security guard was tempted. If he sold one portion, he would get a commission of 1 cent. If he sold ten portions, he would get a dollar. The security guard didn't think much of the bad food could be sold in a day, but even if he sold ten portions, he could still make an extra dollar, which would be 30 dollars a month, equivalent to his salary.
"Okay then, I'll help you promote it, but I can tell you I won't be paying for it. Just give me as much as you can sell. I don't have any room here to store your stuff."
The security guard was afraid that Jiang Xi would use some tricks to make him buy it first. If he couldn't sell it later, he would lose money.
Jiang Xi nodded. "Don't worry. Please help me promote it. If anyone wants to buy it, just make a note of it. I'll deliver it the next day. I'll deliver as much as you sell. I won't take up any space here. Besides, my braised pork is all freshly made and sold. We never sell it overnight. Even if you want more, I won't be able to get it."
The security guard nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give it a try, but you have to deliver the goods once I spread the word. Don't let people think I'm a scam."
Jiang Xi reassured again and again: "Don't worry, uncle, if you introduce me to a business, how can I not do it and watch the money run away?"
Jiang Xi got in smoothly and even recruited the security guard to become her salesperson.
Jiang Xi leisurely walked into the family compound and was met by a child. The child was very excited to see Jiang Xi: "Master Trumpet! You're here!"
Jiang Xi...what a loudspeaker hero.
The child continued to ask, "Master Trumpet, are you here to enforce justice again today?"
Jiang Xi was a little amused and said, "Why do you call me Trumpet Hero?"
The child said innocently: "My sister said that. She said you are a trumpet hero who has the courage to fight against evil forces."
Jiang Xi liked this statement very much and gave the child a candy: "You are so sweet and good. Do you know where the notice board of the family compound is?"
The child was very happy to have the candy and said excitedly: "I know, I'll take you there!"
Jiang Xi followed the child to the bulletin board of the family compound and posted the prepared big-character poster next to it.
The child looked up, puzzled. "Mr. Trumpeter, what is this? Aren't you going to use the trumpet today?"
The child is illiterate and cannot understand what Jiang Xi posted.
Jiang Xi raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "This is a good thing, more powerful than a loudspeaker, anyone who sees it will be so angry that they explode."
The child covered his mouth and took a few steps back. This thing was so powerful that it looked like it would explode. The trumpet hero was even more powerful.
Jiang Xi posted big-character posters on several other bulletin boards in the family compound, and even deliberately chose places with a large flow of people to post big-character posters.
After doing all this, Jiang Xi leisurely left the steel plant’s family compound.
A resident came to the bulletin board as usual to check the information and saw the big-character poster at a glance. This thing was a terrifying thing a few years ago. Although the incident has passed, it still makes people feel scared when they see it suddenly.
He walked closer to read the contents, and saw that it read:
"Jiang Haibo is a modern-day Chen Shimei. He disregards propriety, integrity, and shame, cheating on his wife and abandoning her. He has neglected his first wife and children for years, and when the mother and daughter were struggling to survive, he killed them all, cutting off their last chance of survival. Jiang Shaojie is no different, just as evil-minded as Jiang Haibo. On the surface, he pretends to be a good person, but in reality, he is vicious and a beast in human form. The two are truly the father and son of the new era. Justice is clear, and retribution will come. I would like to reveal the true colors of these father and son to everyone. I hope everyone will not be deceived by them, stay away from vicious people, and find happiness."
This man was so upset that he had a toothache. It was Deputy Director Jiang again. He had heard the gossip before, but unfortunately he was not at the scene and had not seen the excitement at that time. Now he was the first person to see the big-character poster.
The man turned around without hesitation to inform others that it would be a pity to miss such a big event.
At the same time, many people in other places in the family compound also saw the big-character poster, and people pointed and talked about it.
"Deputy Director Jiang, what's going on? The last incident isn't over yet, and now there's another big-character poster?"
"What's going on? Doesn't it say it right here? He cheated on his wife, disregarded propriety and morality, and even wanted to kill his original wife and her daughter."
"Why are they trying to kill them all? Why isn't it clearly written here? What did Jiang Haibo do?"
"Only Deputy Director Jiang knows this, but this time there's another person added. Look, isn't Jiang Shaojie's name on it?"
"Jiang Shaojie, isn't he the son of Deputy Factory Director Jiang? He's a good guy, with good grades and a smile for everyone. How come he's nothing?"
"You know a person's face but not his heart. So, if that little girl hadn't used the loudspeaker to talk about Deputy Director Jiang last time, who would have known that Deputy Director Jiang was such a person?"
"Could it be that this little girl is talking nonsense? I think Deputy Director Jiang is a good person."
"What's good about that? He's just a smiling tiger with a hidden side. Besides, if that little girl was talking nonsense, why didn't Deputy Director Jiang report it to the police and instead gave the money directly?"
"And you gave me money? How much?"
The man raised a few fingers: "This number."
"Wow, Deputy Director Jiang is really rich."
"With such bad character, who knows where the money came from."
The excitement of the last time was not over yet, and this time the show started again. All the big-character posters were crowded with people.
People kept discussing it, and some even went back to find others to watch the fun. They talked about the father and son of the Jiang family. Jiang Xi's big-character poster was vague, and people had all kinds of speculations about Jiang Haibo. Some even thought about hiring a killer.
Some people kept lingering at the gate of the family compound, just waiting for Jiang Haibo to get off work so that they could tell him the news and see his wonderful expression.
Jiang Haibo was turned down by Jiang Xi and was scolded badly. He was so angry that he finally waited until the end of the day. But before he even reached the door of his house, he felt something was wrong.
He greeted others as usual, but they just smiled at him awkwardly. People passing by looked at him strangely, and some even pointed at him behind his back. Jiang Haibo had a hunch that something was wrong.
Just when Jiang Haibo was puzzled, a square-faced man came towards him. Jiang Haibo's face darkened. It was Wu Bin again.
Wu Bin looked concerned: "Old Jiang, are you okay?"
Jiang Haibo was puzzled: "What do you mean? I'm fine."
Wu Bin's eyes darted around, thinking he was going to be in trouble soon. "Old Jiang, this is terrible! You've been posted on a big-character poster."
"Big-character poster! What is that?" Jiang Haibo was shocked. Who was harming him?
Wu Bin said, "You can go and take a look. I won't tell you the details."
Jiang Haibo was no longer as calm as before. He ran towards the bulletin board in a panic. Wu Bin covered his mouth and laughed secretly. "Look, you were still showing off, now you're embarrassed."
He and Jiang Haibo don't get along. Their personalities are incompatible. He likes to gossip and mingle with the crowd, and he dislikes Jiang Haibo's airs the most.
But Jiang Haibo was the deputy factory director, and every time he wanted to do some publicity, he would be shot down by Jiang Haibo. He was really happy to see Jiang Haibo make a fool of himself.
Jiang Haibo ran to the bulletin board in a panic. There was already a group of people gathered in front of it. When they saw him, they automatically made way for him and whispered to each other from time to time.
"Hey, Deputy Director Jiang is here. Look at his expression. I've never seen him like this before."
"If you were me, you'd probably faint too. Look at what's written on this big-character poster. I wonder if Deputy Director Jiang can handle it."
"Deputy Director Jiang has become famous now. What immoral things did he do? He deserves it."
"Stop talking now and see how he reacts. I'm sure my wife will love it when I tell her about it."
The essence of gossip lies in the reactions of the people involved. Everyone was whispering to each other while staring at Jiang Haibo intently...
