Registration for the second semester of freshman year is much simpler than when you first entered the university in the first semester. The so-called registration means that all students gather in the class, and the counselor holds a regular class meeting to confirm whether all students are present.
If you don't arrive on time, call and ask why.
"It's really strange. Why hasn't Xiao Wenzi come today and the phone can't be reached?" Yu Xuan asked with confusion on his face after the morning class meeting.
"There is nothing surprising. Every year when the new semester starts, many students arrive on the day of class. Some students from other places even arrive a few days late because it is difficult to buy tickets." Xiao Feng explained: "Our major is not
Aren't many people here?"
"Xiao Wenzi is very punctual in everything he does, and even if he doesn't come, he should have informed our third brother." Yu Xuan questioned.
Chen Fan thought for a moment and said, "There must be something going on at home. Let's wait and see. If he doesn't come tomorrow morning, we'll go to his house to have a look."
After hearing what Chen Fan said, Xiao Feng and Yu Xuan both nodded in agreement.
…
When the sun sets completely below the horizon, the sky gradually darkens, and the street lights on the roadside turn on dim light. Located at the entrance of an alley in the West District of Donghai, there are several large letters posted on it, which look unusual under the illumination of the roadside lights.
Dazzling.
Most of this alley has been demolished, leaving only a few two-story buildings, several of which have courtyards.
When the sky was getting dark, there were noisy sounds in the alley. Several excavators with their lights on were demolishing the old buildings amidst the roar. Trucks came back and forth to pull away the demolished ruins.
Not far from the alley entrance, there are several cars parked. They are not high-end, mid-range cars costing between 500,000 and 800,000 yuan.
In one of the Audi A4s, Tang Ping, whose wrist was broken by Chen Fan that day, was sitting in the back seat wearing a plaster and bandages. He held a red panda in his uninjured left hand and took a few seconds to inhale it.
, filled with smoke.
That day, after Chen Fan broke his wrist and kicked him, he angrily asked Kang Lin to find Chen Fan for him in an attempt to retaliate. As a result, Kang Lin found a scapegoat, cut off one leg and one foot, and used
The screenshot of Chen Fan's avatar in the entertainment club video was faked and he was deceived.
A few minutes later, two demolition office workers carrying briefcases came to the car. The driver immediately opened the window for Tang Ping. Tang Ping threw away the cigarette butt, frowned and asked: "It's not settled yet?"
"No." One of the fat-headed staff members was angry and said, "It's still about the vase. That old fool insisted on this and asked us to pay compensation for the vase. He also said that her family's
The vase was handed down from our ancestors and was produced in the Ming Dynasty and is worth millions."
"In my opinion, that old guy just wants to extort money." Another staff member also echoed: "If her broken vase is worth several million, our computers are all antiques."
After hearing the reports from his two subordinates, Tang Ping's face became a little ugly. He thought for a while and said, "Okay, it's getting late. You two go to eat."
When Tang Ping spoke, the two of them nodded in agreement, but their hearts were as bright as a mirror: That family is going to suffer!
They all know that the boss of the demolition company, Kang Lin, is said to have a gangster background. During the previous demolition, the compensation standard was significantly lower than the document stipulated, even less than one-tenth of the nearby land price, and the residents opposed it.
, encountered a lot of resistance.
For this reason, Kang Lin not only cut off power and water, but also gathered a group of people to set off cannons and smash windows in the alley after twelve o'clock at night.
When the demolition company made such a fuss, the residents became even more unhappy and called the police.
The result of calling the police was to no avail. Firstly, Kang Lin had a good background and had a good relationship with some leaders of the District Public Security Bureau. Secondly, this matter also involved Tang Ping's interests. The leaders of the Public Security Bureau did not care about Tang Ping's face, but they still wanted to give him a favor.
Tang Ping's uncle who was the district chief gave him face.
Under such a situation, Kang Lin not only did not stop because of calling the police, he directly found a group of social gangsters who carried wooden sticks and steel pipes to residents' homes to smash things. In the end, they even did such dirty things as throwing feces.
.
During this period, Kanglin's people clashed with residents, injuring several people and breaking countless things.
As a result, the residents in the alley are really complaining about the sky and the earth.
Kang Lin and Tang Ping seemed to also know that rabbits can bite when they are anxious. They did not push the residents to a dead end, not only increased the compensation on the original basis, but also secretly bribed two families.
As a result, the two families who had been bribed were the first to move out without telling them, and they made noises and said that they were taking both black and white, and that if they persisted, they would be looking for trouble.
Herding effect.
This applies not only to sheep, but to humans as well.
In many things in this world, the first person to take the lead will be followed by the second person.
Many residents in the alley were timid. Seeing that the call to the police was ineffective and the relevant departments received no response, and the developer offered to increase compensation, they moved out one after another.
After going back and forth, in the end, apart from the injured families, there was also Zhou Wen's family.
During the conflict between Zhou Wen's family and the demolition company, no one was injured, but the family heirloom, an ancient vase, was smashed by the demolition company.
That vase was Grandma Zhou Wen's favorite. She was originally dissatisfied with the demolition company's lawless approach. After the vase was broken, she decided not to move it.
However... as time went by, Kang Lin privately found the families who had been injured, compensated for their medical expenses, and increased some compensation costs again. In the end, those families were saved by Kang Lin's hard and soft measures.
, have all moved away, and now only Zhou Wen’s family is left.
…
Seeing the two demolition office workers leaving, not far from the Audi A4, Kang Lin, wearing a black cloak, got out of a Porsche Cayenne.
Soon, the young man came to Tang Ping's car with a cigarette in his mouth. With a gloomy face, he said: "Director Tang, this family is a tough family. It seems that the soft ones will not survive. We have to get the hard ones."
"I've met that family before. Except for the old lady, everyone else is pretty good. That old lady is not stubborn, she's tough, and she might get killed." Tang Ping's brows knitted together.
Because he has the support of his uncle who is the district mayor, in the past few years, many of his demolition projects have been demolished with strong force.
Among them, most residents have sued, but none have won the lawsuit.
Once, a reporter tried to expose his violent behavior, but his leg was broken the next day.
In the past few years, Tang Ping has kept his official position, become more and more courageous, and his pockets are getting bigger and bigger. However, he is still a little afraid of causing human lives. After all, violence and demolition have become a focus issue now.
, it would end badly if someone died.
"Don't worry, Director Tang. I have a sense of propriety. The most I can do is break that old dog's legs, and I will definitely not kill anyone." Kang Lin's eyes flashed with a trace of sinisterness.
Tang Ping pondered for a few seconds, nodded, and said: "Go and fight quickly!"
…
Zhou Wen's house is located near the end of the alley.
Now all the houses in front of his house have been demolished. The houses in the back are still there because his house has not been demolished, but the people inside have moved out.
Because the power was out, Zhou Wen and his family could only light candles.
In the living room, Zhou Wen and his parents were all there, because Zhou Wen's grandmother had had a quarrel with the demolition office people just now, and the three of them were in a bad mood.
Like Zhou Wen, Zhou Wen's father also wears glasses. He looks weak and honest.
The same goes for Zhou Wen's mother. She is thin, has a weak face, and has the kind of personality that never quarrels with others.
In a sense, Zhou Wen's weak character is genetically inherited and inherited from his parents.
"Xiao Wen, have you started school yet?" Under the candlelight, Zhou Wen's father lit a cigarette and puffed on it with a worried expression. He coughed after just a few puffs.
For a person who doesn't often smoke, Zhou Wen's father couldn't adapt to smoking two packs a day.
"Um."
Zhou Wen, who had a gray complexion and messy hair, nodded.
"Xiao Wen, you go to school tomorrow and don't worry about family matters." Zhou Wen's mother suggested.
"Xiao Wen, your mother is right. It won't work if you stay at home. You should go to school and don't affect your studies." Zhou Wen's father agreed.
Zhou Wen shook his head: "Dad, Mom, until this matter is settled, I won't be in the mood to go to school even if I go to school."
After hearing what Zhou Wen said, Zhou Wen's parents were silent at the same time.
"Xiao Jing, why don't we go talk to mom and let this matter go?" Zhou Wen's father put out the cigarette butt and said.
Zhou Wen's mother shook her head and said: "You'd better not go. Mom just finished arguing with them and is very angry now. It's useless to try to persuade her. And it's not like you don't know Mom's temper. She regards that vase as a family heirloom.
, now that she has been broken, can she feel comfortable?"
"Then what do you think we should do now?" Zhou Wen's father knew that what his wife said was true, and he seemed a little confused for a moment.
Zhou Wen's mother had a sore nose and red eyes and said, "If we sue, we won't win. If we fight, we won't be able to win. I don't know what to do."
As she spoke, Zhou Wen's mother lowered her head and wiped tears secretly.
"well!"
Zhou Wen's father sighed, full of powerlessness.
Seeing his parents so lost, Zhou Wen felt uncomfortable. The figures of Chen Fan, Xiao Feng, and Yu Xuan flashed through his mind subconsciously. Finally, he thought about it and said, "Mom, dad, how about I think about it?"
way."
"What can we do?" Zhou Wen's parents raised their heads at the same time and asked in unison.
Zhou Wen adjusted his glasses and gritted his teeth and said, "There are two classmates in my dormitory who have quite good backgrounds. I'll go find them to see if I can help."
"Xiao Wen, let's forget it." Zhou Wen's mother has a soft temper and never likes to ask for help.
Zhou Wen's father also sighed and said: "I guess it's useless to search. I inquired privately and found out that the director of the demolition office in our district has a deep background, and the relocation company this time is said to have a gang background."
"Clang!"
As soon as Zhou Wen's father finished speaking, there was a sudden loud noise outside the door, and the door to the yard was directly knocked out by the excavator.
Then, Kang Lin, who was wearing a black cloak and a dozen big men, rushed into the yard aggressively. As he walked, he cursed sinisterly: "Old immortal, I think you are toasting and not eating. Damn it, I am
I don’t believe that we can’t demolish your dilapidated house!”
