It had only been a few days since Xiao Zhuo and Zhong Luoqing got married.
Gu Qinghuan received a call for help from Niu Zhuang.
Cheng Fusheng was arrested.
As early as last year, Gu Qinghuan reminded him not to continue working in the black market.
As expected, at the end of the year, there was a policy to encourage self-employment, but at that time everyone thought that this was the government's fishing law enforcement, and few people dared to test the law and really become self-employed.
Cheng Fusheng also waited and watched. His stall was too big and his brothers were also busy with their work, so he continued to work in the black market, hoping to get the last hand.
Cheng Fusheng is the boss. Even though he wants to stop, he cannot ignore his brothers. Otherwise, who will recognize him in the future?
But he still had some brains. He sold all the valuable antiques he had and exchanged them for money. In case he ran away or someone tried to get him, he would not be left without a way out.
Gu Qinghuan helped him deal with the things at a fair price, and Gu Qinghuan himself also made a lot of money from this. He had a lot of good things in his hands, all of which had already been sold.
Cheng Fusheng was caught while conducting a large-scale private transaction, selling grain.
If it had been a few years ago, he would have been caught and shot.
But the current social situation has changed a lot. Speculation has been overthrown, and private transactions are no longer a crime. However, this kind of large-scale, unclear transactions is still quite eye-catching.
The people above actually knew about him a long time ago, and this time they just happened to hit the wound.
How should I put it? This kind of thing actually requires connections and money to be used.
Niu Zhuang had looked for someone, but the person now refused to acknowledge him, so he came to Gu Qinghuan for help. He knew that Gu Qinghuan had some connections behind him.
At this point, it depends on whether Gu Qinghuan recognizes their friendship with Cheng Fusheng.
Niu Zhuang made the right bet.
Gu Qinghuan was quite nostalgic, and Cheng Fusheng had helped her several times, which helped her earn a lot of money and solved her urgent needs.
Besides, because of the favor Mr. Yang had given her of the courtyard house, she had to take Cheng Fusheng away.
Gu Qinghuan took out the money that Mr. Yang had asked her to keep and decisively found Zhang Zheng for help.
Zhang Zheng is now in power and has some style.
However, he was still as amiable and friendly to Gu Qinghuan as he was before, even a little too friendly.
After all, Gu Qinghuan's current social status is no longer the same as it was before. She can still ask him for help now, but it can no longer be described as asking for help. She can only say that she thinks highly of him.
In official circles, one must be smooth and tactful, this is inevitable, otherwise one will not go far, Gu Qinghuan expressed his understanding in his heart.
"Uncle Zhang, I want you to help me find someone." Gu Qinghuan told Zhang Zheng everything about Cheng Fusheng.
Zhang Zheng was as cautious as ever. He did not reply to her immediately, but made a phone call. After asking about the situation, he frowned and said, "This matter is a bit tricky, but since you have asked, Uncle Zhang will do it for you no matter how much effort it takes!"
"Thank you so much, Uncle Zhang. Here is 10 million yuan. You can use it to bribe people. If it's not enough, there's more." Gu Qinghuan knew that this was a big deal and it was a bit embarrassing for the other party, so he had to give enough money.
Zhang Zheng pushed the money on the table in front of her and said, "The money is gone. It's just a matter of a word from my niece."
Gu Qinghuan smiled. This uncle was becoming more and more like a man from officialdom.
Yes, a debt of favor is harder to repay than money.
But one thing is for another, she knew that Zhang Zheng also needed to sort out a lot of relationships in this matter, and using money to eliminate the disaster was the best way.
"Uncle Zhang, I won't take back the money I gave you, so don't say anything more.
I know you have to take care of a lot of relationships here, and the officialdom is not as smooth as we imagine.
My niece wishes you success in your career and will rely on you in the future."
Zhang Zheng gave a mysterious smile and simply took the money.
"My niece is really smart. I thought that you modern scholars were all pedantic and righteous.
Don't worry, your friend's situation isn't particularly serious. It was two years ago, and he didn't have any money. Now he can do something about it."
In fact, no matter what era, it is difficult to be a good official, because there will always be someone else who will do what you don't do.
Therefore, it is not enough to be full of enthusiasm. What is more important is to hold on to your position first and go further before you can do more.
This is the unspoken rule in officialdom, and no one can escape it.
In fact, as long as you perform your duties conscientiously, have the people and all living things in your heart, have a righteous spirit, and do good things, it is better than anything else.
With his guarantee, Gu Qinghuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you for your help. I'll treat you some other day."
Zhang Zheng will not break his promise.
Cheng Fusheng was released the next day, but his previous stall also fell apart and no longer existed.
Except for the five or six men who followed him all the time, the rest of his brothers were either walking or running away.
He is now completely left alone.
I don't know why, but I feel more relaxed than ever before, yet also more confused than ever before.
It's certainly easier not to be responsible for so many people.
But the sky that he had worked so hard to carve out also collapsed, so he was confused.
Niu Zhuang told him that it was Gu Qinghuan who helped him get out.
Cheng Fusheng was not surprised at all.
Of all his connections, the only one who could save him was Gu Qinghuan. But he least wanted Gu Qinghuan to save him, because once a debt of favor was repaid, it was gone.
Because of some things that happened before, Gu Qinghuan always felt that she owed him something, but after this time, she didn't owe him anything, and he would have no chance to look for her in the future.
Gu Qinghuan came to him specifically and handed him the remaining money that Mr. Yang had asked her to keep.
"Mr. Yang asked me to keep this before he left, saying that he would give it to you when you need it one day. I never thought that it would really come true.
I helped you smooth over the relationship this time and earned tens of thousands of dollars. The remaining money is all here. I'll give it all to you. You probably won't need me to keep it for you in the future.
This time you can be considered to have turned a disaster into a blessing. Now that you are free from all the worries and burdens, you can regroup and do something else!
Now the country is gradually opening up and allowing self-employed individuals to do business. I think this is a good opportunity.
You were doing this before anyway, and now it's just a change of words, the same as before. Take Niu Zhuang and the others with you to run a legitimate business and make money in a legitimate way, which is definitely better than doing black market insurance."
Cheng Fusheng didn't know whether he heard it or not.

After marriage, Xiao Zhuo and Zhong Luoqing should move out of their respective homes and form a new family. However, since You Ran needs Bai Jie's care, they are both busy with work and cannot take care of the child.
So in order to take care of their child's emotions, the two did not move to a new house, but continued to live as before.
The young couple usually lives in both places. They can live wherever they want without any delay.
Xiao Fengying had no objection either. She was not the kind of mother-in-law who focused on small details. On the contrary, she had her own life and did not need her son and daughter-in-law to surround her all day long.
Everyone is living in peace.
Just two months after getting married, the good news came that Zhong Luoqing was pregnant.
She was in a daze and didn't pay much attention to it, but Bai Jie noticed that her period seemed to be late and asked her a few questions.
