Chapter 55 Chapter 55 Paying the Price
While Yang Dai and Han Lin were recounting the past, the two policemen finally made way for the crowd and with great difficulty took the bound criminal to the police station.
"Let's go take a look too." Yang Dai followed the crowd and called Han Lin to follow by pushing his bicycle.
They are unfamiliar with the capital, and if they get lost, it will take extra time to find the police.
There were quite a few people going to the police station together, but Yang Dai and Han Lin were not conspicuous among them.
However, even though we followed them to the police station, we could only send them to the door but were not allowed to go inside.
However, the people around did not disperse, but waited outside, still filled with righteous indignation.
Yang Dai listened for a while and took the initiative to walk forward.
Yang Dai walked into the police station and took the initiative to tell the police that her factory had also been a victim of persecution by Zeng Mingjie. As she spoke, Yang Dai took out the temporary work permit from her bag.
Before coming to the capital, Yang Dai's letter of introduction was issued by the Huangzhuang Brigade, but just in case, Yang Dai also went to the food factory and got a temporary work permit from the food factory.
The food factory was also very generous and treated Yang Dai very well.
After Yang Dai got this temporary work permit, although it was of no use, she always kept it with her, and it was just right to take it out today.
After the food factory secured the foreign trade order, it caused quite a stir locally, but it remained relatively unknown in the capital.
Fortunately, after confirming that Yang Dai's job was real, Yang Dai successfully entered the police station.
The person who came to question Yang Dai was a slightly younger female police officer.
She had a low ponytail and a pair of sharp eyes, but when she looked at Yang Dai, she smiled as a comfort.
Yang Dai also recounted the scene she had experienced at that time.
"So this isn't the first time Zeng Mingjie has done something like this." After hearing Yang Dai's description, the policewoman's expression became much gloomier.
"Thank you for your cooperation. Have some water first." The policewoman handed the freshly poured hot water to Yang Dai. "Wait a moment. I'll go find our leader."
Yang Dai observed the interior of the police station with great interest. This was an institution that did not exist in the world before.
Moreover, although the people in the police station look very powerful, they are surprisingly easy to get along with, which is completely different from the previous world.
In her previous life, Yang Dai had never dealt with official offices like the Dali Temple of Shuntian Prefecture, but she had read the laws of Daqing.
One of them was particularly impressive.
If a citizen sues an official, the drum must be beaten twice in succession, each time for at least half an hour, before the official will accept the case.
If a wife sues her husband, she must be starved for a night before the interrogation.
If a slave reported his master, he would first be beaten with thirty sticks before meeting the officials.
After thirty lashes, if medical conditions are not adequate, the person will be half paralyzed if not dead. Therefore, it is rare for a slave to win a lawsuit against his master.
When Yang Dai first saw this law, she was very surprised and went to ask her grandfather for advice.
In the heart of young Yang Dai, she is the only treasure in her grandfather's heart. Every time she talks to her grandfather, he always looks kind and gentle and teaches her earnestly.
That was the only exception, as my grandfather's tone of voice was particularly harsh.
Slaves should not be allowed to report their masters, because this will lead to more unruly slaves and be detrimental to the management of the master's household.
But if there is no such law and the lives of slaves are treated as worthless, then these slaves will fight back and cause instability in the dynasty.
Therefore, strict laws are needed to keep the country running.
The same principle applies when a citizen sues an official or when a wife sues her husband.
Young Yang Dai did not quite understand these laws, but in the following years, she gradually got used to them.
Now sitting in the police station of this era, thinking about the laws of the past, Yang Dai was still a little dazed for a moment.
In today's police station, it seems that there are slogans everywhere.
——The people are the masters of the country.
people.
"Hello, Comrade Yang Dai." Another police officer appeared in front of them. "The suspect wants to see you."
When Zeng Mingjie was arrested, the factory had already prepared a lot of information, but there were still some imperfections.
Zeng Mingjie is now a foreigner. If he is convicted without complete evidence, the embassy will definitely pursue the matter.
After questioning Yang Dai, the policewoman sent the materials to the interrogation room, where the police asked questions based on this past incident.
Zeng Mingjie, who had been silent and refused to explain, suddenly reacted when he heard the police asking about this matter and took the initiative to ask to see Yang Dai.
Yang Dai followed the police to the interrogation room and saw Zeng Mingjie clearly through the thick glass.
At the same time, Zeng Mingjie also looked up at her.
His originally numb expression was replaced by excitement. After seeing Yang Dai, he wanted to jump out and kill Yang Dai.
Yang Dai curled her lips at him, but the other person's expression became extremely ferocious again.
If he hadn't been handcuffed holding him in place, he would have probably started hitting people by now.
"There should still be evidence in the food factory in our county. We also have a witness here, named Xia Ziqing." Yang Dai repeated it again and gave the police the phone number of the food factory to facilitate the investigation.
"If you need anything, just let me know and I will do my best to cooperate." Before leaving the police station, Yang Dai also gave her contact information to the police station.
"Please take me for a ride on your bike, anywhere is fine." After leaving the police station, Yang Dai had no intention of going home, but instead came up with another idea.
"Are you okay?" Han Lin looked a little nervous. Before entering the police station, Yang Dai was not in high spirits, but she was definitely not tired either.
After staying in the police station for a while, I suddenly felt that my energy was gone.
"It's okay, let's just walk on the street and get some fresh air." Yang Dai urged Han Lin to ride his bike. The police station had touched her, and she wanted to walk around and see more different things.
Han Lin naturally fulfilled Yang Dai's little wish, and the two of them finally returned to the guesthouse after dark.
"I'm going back soon. I hope this case can be settled before we go back." Before going to bed at night, Yang Dai was still thinking about Zeng Mingjie.
The reason why Zeng Mingjie was arrested this time was similar to what he did to the food factory last time, both for disrupting cooperation.
Zeng Mingjie had previously deliberately disrupted the cooperation of the food factory, but Xia Ziqing exposed him on the spot and Zeng Mingjie lost his job directly.
Logically, after losing his job, he should have bought a plane ticket back home immediately, but Zeng Mingjie did not do so.
He was fired by Edel, and this news would surely be widely publicized by others. With the reputation of being fired, even if he bought a plane ticket and went back immediately, he would not be able to find a good job, and would be ridiculed instead.
Zeng Mingjie didn't want to face his failure. After returning to Kyoto, he thought about it and decided to stay in the capital.
Although he changed his nationality and his daily behavior and thoughts are completely contrary to those of China, he still has a Chinese stomach and is very satisfied with Chinese food.
Moreover, after he returns, he will have to bear the reputation of being fired and encounter obstacles everywhere, but staying in China will be a completely opposite situation.
He was a top student, a talent, and talents were wanted everywhere.
After he took the initiative to reveal that he wanted to stay in China for a long time, the leaders of the textile factory quickly visited him three times and hired Zeng Mingjie to the factory, hoping that Zeng Mingjie could use his connections to help the factory win foreign trade orders.
Zeng Mingjie does have this ability. Although he has left Elder, the people he knew before can still be used.
Moreover, since they parted in the county town, Zeng Mingjie went straight back to the capital, but Elder was still out of town and didn't seem to have any intention of coming back.
In the short term, Zeng Mingjie can also use Elder's name to negotiate orders for himself.
In order to increase his importance to the textile factory and prevent Elder's affairs from being exposed in the future and leaving him with nowhere to go, Zeng Mingjie decided to cling to the textile factory and naturally gave his 100% work ability.
In just one week, three foreign trade orders were obtained for the textile factory.
Although the number of these orders is not large, they are foreign trade after all, and three of them were finalized in a week, which is enough to prove Zeng Mingjie's ability. Naturally, the factory gave Zeng Mingjie more and more power.
But Zeng Mingjie soon got tired of this situation. He hated this factory and this country from the bottom of his heart. The brief bow did not reduce his hatred, but deepened it.
He had to endure it just to avoid being discovered by Elder.
Later, when Zeng Mingjie went to a foreign-related hotel to discuss work, he finally heard the news he wanted to hear: Elder had left.
The heart that had been forced to suppress itself began to stir again.
At that time, Zeng Mingjie was also negotiating a big deal worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The other party’s representative who stayed in China was a classmate of Zeng Mingjie.
It was precisely because of this classmate friendship that the other party decided to temporarily increase the number of orders.
The two of them each held meetings with their teams for a few days to get to know each other, and were just one step away from signing the contract.
Zeng Mingjie secretly approached the other party.
This is supposed to be against the rules, but neither Zeng Mingjie nor his partners are rule-abiding people.
Zeng Mingjie understood this characteristic of the other party, so he dared to tell them his plan during a private chat.
By tampering with the contract, the textile factory was forced to squeeze out the goods, and after two months the partner could purchase these goods at a very low price.
All the price differences between the two transactions will be attributed to the representative of the partner.
In order to prevent others from discovering the flaws, the two people changed two of the three copies of the contract after signing it.
The unchanged contract was checked and placed in the archives of the textile factory.
The other two copies, one was kept by the partner and the other was kept by Zeng Mingjie's office.
Shortly after signing the contract, Zeng Mingjie accidentally lost it, but the contract had already come into effect and the textile factory had received the first batch of payment.
Zeng Mingjie was not held excessively responsible for this.
Logically speaking, the matter should have come to an end here, and the textile factory would have worshipped Zeng Mingjie like the God of Wealth.
But nothing is absolute, and Zeng Mingjie soon paid the price for his arrogance.
