In the past few days, Shi Zhong has been living very peacefully, because he suddenly burst into youth. He once again picked up the mouse and played the CF that he used to play crazily day and night in college. For the past three days, except for eating, he almost stayed at home.
That evening, Old Man Li called and said that he wanted to invite Shi Zhong to dinner and that he must give him face. However, he refused, but Shi Zhong had no choice but to stand up slowly and turn off the computer.
"Well, this crappy computer seems to be dead. The configuration is not high. It's so laggy even when playing games. It seems it's time to replace it!" Shi Zhong muttered. The poor laptop has been enslaved by Shi Zhong for five years.
Now they actually say that they can't do it. I'm really sad for the computer.
Drive to the agreed upon location.
Shi Zhong looked up and saw, isn't this the place he came back from last time? The "One More Time" restaurant!
This time, not only old man Li greeted him at the door, but also a middle-aged man. Shi Zhong remembered that it seemed to be Li Yushi, the owner of this restaurant, who was from Xijiang. Although this was not the city center, it was not far away and could
There is a restaurant here, although it is not big, which shows that the owner Li Yushi has a good fortune.
"Haha, brother Shi, I haven't seen you for a few days, but your style is getting more and more impressive!" Old Man Li was dressed in a suit and looked human-like. There was no trace of the wretchedness that Shi Zhong had when he first met him.
Shi Zhong also smiled and said: "I haven't seen you for a few days, but you are still as beautiful as a tree in the wind, you are charming, your sword never grows old, and your golden gun never falls!"
"Hehe!" Old Man Li smiled coquettishly, trying to talk to Shi Zhong that he would never be his opponent.
"Mr. Shi, long time no see, welcome!" Li Yushi extended his hand.
"Hello, Boss Li!" Shi Zhong was polite, but his expression was calm, which made Li Yushi feel a little embarrassed, a bit suspicious of his hot face but cold buttocks.
Seemingly sensing Shi Zhong's indifference, Old Man Li hurriedly said: "Brother Shi, Old Li is still from Xijiang, and we are fellow villagers. You may have forgotten what I mentioned to you last time!"
"Oh? I wonder where Boss Li is from Xijiang?" Shi Zhong said. To be honest, he really didn't have any intention of making friends with this Li Yushi. There was no need.
"I am from Shanyu County, Raoshang City, Xijiang Province. I don't know about you, Mr. Shi..." Li Yushi said. To be honest, it was Old Man Li who insisted on dragging him here today, saying that this young man has a certain amount of energy in Zhouhang City.
Maybe it can help him, but Li Yushi has some doubts. Among the Xijiang fellows in Zhouhang City, he is doing well. He has never heard of such a number one fellow. How many people are there in Zhouhang City?
I know every well-off Xijiang person.
This time, Shi Zhong looked at Li Yu with a different look. He smiled and said, "What a coincidence, Boss Li, I am also from Shanyu County!"
"Haha, Lao Li, it seems that you and Brother Shi have a close relationship. Meeting an old friend in a foreign country is one of the four great blessings in life. You should have a good drink later!" Old Man Li interjected appropriately to adjust the atmosphere.
, and at the same time, he gently poked Li Yushi on the back with his hand.
Li Yushi smiled and said: "I'm sure, just because of this fate, when I wait for you, I will also offer Brother Shi a glass of wine. You won't mind if I call Brother Shi this way, right?"
Shi Zhong also laughed. Unexpectedly, he was actually a real fellow villager from the same county. Since he was a fellow villager and he wanted to make friends with me, Shi Zhong naturally would not refuse. He also smiled and said: "Brother Li, look at what you said.
If you call me Brother Shi, that means you think highly of me, and I should respect you later when it's my turn!"
"Where is it!" Li Yushi declined.
"Let's go inside and chat!" Old Man Li said. Seeing Shi Zhong greeting him with a smile, he breathed a sigh of relief and finally didn't mess up.
So, the three of them entered the private room, and Li Yushi naturally arranged the best service. Although his hotel was not of high quality, it was clean and the business was good.
At the dinner table, people were naturally changing glasses. Shi Zhong always had a capacity for wine and refused to accept anyone who came. After a while, Li Yushi's tongue was a little big. He blushed and said drunkenly: "Brother Shi, we from other provinces are in the state."
It’s not easy to hang out in Hangzhou, wouldn’t you say?”
Shi Zhong nodded naturally.
Li Yushi continued: "People from Jiangsu and Zhejiang have always looked down on us Xijiang people. I think the difficulties Xijiang people have in doing business in Zhouhang City have been experienced personally. If nothing else, just take this random inspection by the Industrial and Commercial Bureau as an example. They actually said that I sold
I was fined 10,000 yuan for fake cigarettes and fake alcohol. What the hell is wrong with me? Isn’t it that I didn’t give the section chief a gift and stuff him with money? If this happened in Shanyu County, who would dare to do this to me? Isn’t it bullying us?
Outsider…”
"I brought my whole family here to make a living...my daughter goes to school and asks for money to beg for help...the hotel has various annual inspections and asks for money for help..."
Shi Zhong listened silently and uttered the truth after drinking. It seemed that Li Yushi was not too happy in Zhouhang City. Life was so miserable.
"Sorry, I'm going out for a moment!" Li Yushi suddenly stood up and ran out with a disgusted expression on his face.
"It's not easy for Lao Li to be alone. In Zhouhang City, you know how a foreigner can have so many connections. It doesn't matter to you, you have to spend money. How much money can you make in a hotel like this in a year... Why bother?"
Oh!" Old Man Li looked pitiful and bitter, as if he was the owner of this restaurant.
"Don't make it sound like the grievance is deep and bitter. Tell me, what is the purpose of inviting me to dinner today?" Shi Zhong said when he saw Li Yu had already gone out.
"Hey, Lao Li and I have known each other for almost ten years. This time, those people have gone too far. I heard that there is a new section chief. I opened my mouth. I just want to ask, do you know the Industrial and Commercial Bureau?
Someone?" Old Man Li said embarrassedly, he also knew that his treat was not well-intentioned.
"Then you use me as a favor?" Shi Zhong said angrily, "If you have something to do, fine, just come to me and tell me clearly. Am I the kind of person who has no loyalty?"
Old Man Li just smiled, with doubt written on his face.
"I really don't know the people from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau? Are you from the Public Security Bureau? How about next time those people come, arrest them and put them in a cell for extortion?" Shi Zhong said.
"Okay, as long as you can afford the consequences!" Old Man Li said angrily, "To help or not to help, you just say one thing, this is the first time that Old Man Li has asked for help in so many years!"
"This is the first time you beg me!" Shi Zhong said. This old man actually yelled at him. Is it wrong to not be able to help him? I really don't know anyone from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau!
Old Man Li was about to speak when suddenly, there was a loud noise outside the door, followed by a loud roar. Old Man Li could tell that it was Old Li's voice. His expression changed, he stood up and rushed out, followed closely by Shi Zhong.
Get out.
After walking out of the box and coming to the lobby, I saw a group of people surrounding the counter. Three of them were wearing suits and had black briefcases under their arms. At a glance, I knew they were members of the government.
At this time, Li Yushi might be drunk, or he might have had enough, and shouted: "The worst case scenario is that I won't open this restaurant. My business license is issued in accordance with the law. Do you think it's illegal if you say it's not legal?"
The leader, a middle-aged man with a beer belly named Li Xiang, is a new section chief of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. He sneered: "You can't be more open-minded. We are just acting in accordance with the law. There is no humane relationship before the law. If you
No, I can help you cancel now, Xiao Zhang, show him the documents to see if we have wronged him!"
People around me were pointing fingers, but this section chief remained calm and sneered in his heart: You, a foreigner, can’t kill you if you fight with me!
The young man from Xiao Zhang came over and took out a document from his bag. Li Yushi saw the document and the seal on it, and when he looked at the content, his face turned green. In fact, he regretted it after yelling that sentence. Alas, for a moment
I was so impatient that I offended people to death. I didn’t know what to say for a while. What was even worse was that the previous section chief was investigated for corruption, and my business license was handled by the previous section chief. I didn’t expect that the section chief wanted to make money.
He actually got a fake business license for himself.
For a moment, Li Yushi panicked, and suddenly saw Shi Zhong walking out of the corner. His eyes lit up, and a faint hope ignited in them.
