You are amazing
Shan Tao's revealed identity shocked everyone, especially the group led by Fan Gang, who were so frightened that they couldn't speak.
Fan Gang paused for a long time, opening his mouth several times but unable to utter a word. Finally, under the pleading eyes of his younger brothers, he felt that as their eldest brother, he couldn't be so cowardly. He took a strong breath and said bravely, "You, you, you, which department are you from?"
Shan Tao was so angry that he laughed. He didn't expect that this man would not cry until he saw the coffin. He was obviously scared to death, but for the sake of face, he pretended to be fearless and had the courage to ask back.
Shan Tao didn't let him lead him by the nose. He answered every question. He had already answered it once before, so why was it necessary? He didn't want to blindly use his power to pressure others. That was not his purpose.
Instead, it was Jian Jianan who kindly answered the question for Fan Gang. "Didn't you hear clearly? Uncle is a member of the Reform and Opening-up Committee. Do you understand what I mean? It means that the country has set up a department specifically for reform and opening-up. Then what you said is definitely not true!"
Fan Gang's mind was in a mess and he couldn't think straight. When he heard Jian Jianan's words, he turned to her blankly with a dull expression. What did he say? What else did he say just now?
Jian Jianan knew from the look on his face that he had forgotten, and quickly helped him recall: "It's just what you said. Doing business is all speculation and profiteering, which is not allowed by the country. Once discovered, you will be thrown into prison, and children will not be spared. There will be a separate cell for children."
"But then you said you had connections up there, that you could help people with their business. As long as they paid you enough money, you could issue them a permit to set up a stall and do business here without getting arrested. All this speculation and profiteering, under your operation, was legal and compliant."
Fan Gang was in a daze: Why do these words sound so familiar? Oh, yes, these are what I just said.
Shan Tao had been so absorbed in his son that he hadn't noticed what Fan Gang had said. Now, he was so angry he laughed. He said to Fan Gang with a half-smile, "So that's how it is. Comrade, you can still try to figure this out. I just don't know which department you're from, and how you can do it."
Fan Gang wanted to bite the bullet and continue to make up lies, but he was too ignorant to understand his elder brother's thoughts. He leaned close to Fan Gang's ear and whispered, "Brother, I just saw that this man came in a small car with four wheels and a red flag in front. You know, this guy is an important person. We should not offend him if we can. Otherwise, we will suffer the consequences!"
Fan Gang's heart suddenly turned cold. How could he not be afraid?
He was actually very scared. Fan Gang had a clear understanding of himself. He knew that he had been collecting protection fees in this place for a long time without being discovered. Those who relied on his size had little knowledge and were easily fooled by him.
But you have to pay for what you have done. Look, I was caught today. It seems that this matter cannot be solved, at least it cannot be resolved amicably.
Fan Gang, holding on to his last breath, still refused to bow his head, standing there and swearing, "You say you're from the Development Bureau, but are you really? Show us your credentials, or we'll be laughed out loud. Nowadays, anyone can claim to be from the Development Bureau and act arrogantly. Isn't this just a scam?!"
He spoke more and more fluently. At the beginning, he was stuck on a few sentences, but in the end, he could speak without hesitation.
Shan Tao laughed out of anger, not wanting to waste any more words with this man. He simply made a few gestures, signaling the guards behind him to step forward.
Who is Fan Gang? He has been making a living under the gazes of all neighbors since he was a child. When he saw Shan Tao's expression, he immediately knew that he was serious and did not dare to continue to pester him.
But he was a man who cared a lot about his reputation and refused to give in. His younger brothers all ran away, but he, the big brother, had to slowly retreat while making harsh remarks.
"Don't let me see you next time. I didn't run away this time because I was scared of you! You should know that I didn't want to bother with you. If something happens to me, I will definitely report it to the police!"
The harsh words were spoken loudly, but the speed of his escape was not slow, on the contrary, it was extremely fast, and he disappeared in a flash. Jian Jianan was stunned. It must be said that everyone has talents in a specific field, but some people are talented in the right way, such as Jian Jianan, while some people are talented in the evil way, and a ready-made example is Fan Gang.
Fan Gang and his little brothers did run away, but the monk can escape but the temple cannot. For this kind of person who is hated by everyone, you only need to ask around in the neighborhood to find out his origins, without much effort.
Shan Tao whispered a few words to the guard, who immediately took the order and left. Jian Jianan had no idea what he was going to do. She just raised her head and looked curiously at the man and the little boy beside him.
At first, she thought that the father and son were just ordinary diners who came to eat, but now that their identities have been revealed, who would still regard them as ordinary people?
Once the others knew that Shan Tao was a high-ranking official, although they were not afraid, they all showed a certain respect and did not dare to act as casually as before.
But Jian Jianan was different. She was not afraid at all. On the contrary, she keenly noticed something from the conversation between him and Fan Gang.
"Uncle, are you saying that business people like us won't have to worry about being accused of speculation in the future?"
The vendors nearby pricked up their ears. This was the question they cared about the most and wanted to know the most. It concerned their own interests, but obviously, none of them had the courage to ask like Jian Jianan.
Shan Tao laughed out loud: "Of course!"
With this final word, Shan Tao's words gave everyone present a reassurance.
With his identity as a guarantee, his words were still very credible, and the vendors breathed a sigh of relief. At least they no longer had to worry about being thrown into jail one day for trying to make some money for their families.
Shan Tao looked around and easily knew what everyone was thinking, but he couldn't scold these vendors for being stupid and being cheated. Fan Gang and others took advantage of everyone's mentality, making everyone think that doing business was speculation and was not protected by the law. Once this kind of behavior of exploiting legal loopholes was discovered, it would bring unpredictable consequences to the entire family.
Shan Tao sighed, but he couldn't open his mouth to scold this group of people for their ignorance, because he knew where the real problem lay. Wasn't it that the severe crackdown in previous years scared everyone?
Even though the basic national policy of reform and opening up was set last year, and the state had stipulated policies to stimulate the economy and no longer restrict individual businesses, it was still just the beginning and few people believed it. Everyone was cautiously taking a step forward to test the waters, and would immediately retract their steps if anything seemed amiss.
Therefore, the group of self-employed pioneers in front of him who dared to do small business were particularly valuable.
Ultimately, it’s a problem that policy implementers have not implemented the policy properly.
Shan Tao took Shan Jiqing's hand, squatted down and asked Jian Jianan: "Little girl, weren't you scared just now?"
Jian Jianan said honestly: "A little bit, but I thought that the news I read in the newspaper would not be wrong, so I persisted."
Shan Tao laughed heartily and praised, "You're very brave, little girl. Your parents aren't here, yet you can still calmly deal with these people and blurt out national policies. It seems you pay close attention to this aspect!"
Jian Jianan was not shy at all and accepted Shan Tao's praise graciously. "Yes, my parents subscribe to the newspaper every morning. I take advantage of their help and read it every day, especially the ones about this. I read them more carefully. If there are some words I don't recognize, my parents will read them to me."
Jian Jianan was very calm and composed. Shan Tao nodded continuously. He said, "Yes, since the country has already decided to open up the market and introduce various policies to encourage individual businesses and encourage everyone to actively participate in various economic activities, then everyone should be bolder and don't worry about being punished. In the future, if you do something like this again, you should be tougher. You see, even a little girl knows this, but we adults think too much and are easily fooled."
"Next time this happens, report it to the police! Don't be afraid. You're already out there doing business and still worrying about this and that. These are issues that only a lowly official like me should be worrying about!"
These words made everyone laugh.
After Shan Tao finished speaking, everyone understood what he meant. After today, the idea of vigorously developing the economy would spread from this small place like wings, spreading in all directions through word of mouth. The seeds had been planted, and now we just had to wait for them to sprout!
Shan Tao wanted to leave after he finished speaking. What happened today was just a small episode. After this incident, he also had some inspiration, inspiration on how to implement the policy more thoroughly.
Just as they were about to leave, Jian Jianan stepped forward and handed a piece of coconut rice to Shan Jiqing, who had been immersed in his own world and remained silent.
Shan Jiqing looked down for a long time without taking it, but Jian Jianan did not give up at all and held it there, as if the two of them were participating in a competition where whoever moved first would lose.
Shan Tao sighed inwardly, helped his son take it, and thanked Jian Jianan.
Jian Jianan waved her hand and turned her curiosity to Shan Jiqing. Although this brother hadn't spoken a word, she always felt that he had been silently observing the world, just with a layer between them, like a rose in a glass cover.
While the group of people here were having a great time, Su Qinxuan and Jian Yangping hurried over as soon as they heard the news. Along the way, they thought about everything in their minds. The worst case scenario was that all their belongings would be confiscated and the whole family would have to start all over again. That was okay, as long as no one was hurt.
The couple supported and encouraged each other along the way, their hearts almost jumping out of their chests.
Unexpectedly, when I returned to the familiar place, I saw my two children standing there intact, talking to a man who looked very prestigious.
I was praised as soon as I met him.
Shan Tao praised sincerely, "You have raised an amazing daughter!"
Su Qinxuan: “…Ah?”
Jian Yangping: "...Ah?"
How come he was praised for doing nothing? Or was it because his daughter Jian Jianan was praised?
