A circle full of temptation and harm
"According to regulations, the police will not intervene in your financial disputes, but the money you owe him should be given to him. [26nbsp;] He has worked hard for it..."
You Xingbao rushed to say: "Is there a fraud in this?"
Lao Zhang immediately stepped forward and said, "It was you who defrauded him, not him who defrauded you. You took advantage of your power to bully others! You refuse to pay back the money!"
The police immediately stopped him: "You want money, but you can't make trouble. Making trouble is against the law, you know? If you have a dispute, go to the court to file a complaint."
Seeing that it wasn't a big deal, I gave them a few words of education, and then I was ready to leave.
At this time, You Xingbao went outside and called someone. After a while, the cell phone of the policeman who had just handled the matter rang. After he answered the call, he walked around the area. When he raised his head, his face changed like a chameleon.
"Hey, where are you from? Where are your ID cards? Take them out and take a look."
Li Jinxuan and Li Bing both had ID cards. Li Jinxuan's was robbed by a creditor. Li Bing's was lost long ago because he had no fixed address. Only Lao Zhang had it.
At this time, they just found the reason. The policeman who answered the phone said: "Three people, two of them don't have ID cards. Come on, follow us to the police station."
Lao Zhang said: "We haven't committed any crime, why should we go?"
The police stared at them and pushed them out, saying, "You are disrupting someone's office and you don't have an ID card. Let's go!"
They were caught by the calling police car and taken to the police station.
Li Jinxuan felt very sad, but he was not very afraid. He knew that he had not committed a crime. He asked people for money and did not act excessively. He was not afraid no matter where he went.
He just didn't understand that the policeman's attitude suddenly changed after only answering a phone call. This guy You Xingbao is really powerful!
The police began to record their interviews one by one. They first asked Li Jinxuan: "What is your name?"
Li Jinxuan didn't wait for him to ask further, so he simply said it himself: "After graduating from college, I worked as a teacher and reporter..."
He knew that the police would look at heads and hats, so he said this deliberately. When he saw the police looking at him in confusion, he continued, "Later, I went to sea and failed for various reasons. I had no choice but to help You Xingbao run the business...
"
Finally, he said with some excitement: "Comrade police, when a weak person is bullied by a strong person, do you support the weak person or the strong person?"
Li Jinxuan's counter-examination was powerful.
The policeman thought for a moment and said: "Whether you are a strong person or a weak person, we support all law-abiding people and punish all kinds of illegal and disorderly behavior in accordance with the law. If you go to other people's offices to cause trouble, it is illegal. Your behavior violates the state
Regarding the public security regulations, fines will be imposed."
Lao Zhang was anxious: "A fine? We don't have money to file a lawsuit, so we have to come to him again and again to ask for it, but he won't give us a penny and bullies us. You don't support justice, but you want to fine us? Humph, Li Jinxuan, you
Ask your former journalist friends and ask the newspapers to comment on it for us."
As he spoke, he winked at Li Jinxuan. Li Jinxuan said understandingly: "I'll contact the media when I get out and let the media discuss whether the weak should ask the strong for their reward?"
Li Bing spoke even more urgently: "We are so poor that we don't even have food to eat. Where can we have the money to pay fines? We need our lives, but we don't need the money."
The policeman said seriously: "This is the police station, you should be careful what you say."
After saying that, they locked them in an empty house and left. In the evening, an unknown policeman came to let them go: "You go, I see that your crimes are minor this time, so I won't hold you accountable."
.Next time we cause trouble, we must deal with it seriously."
Lao Zhang said: "Just let us go? We don't want to leave yet. Let's call the policeman to give us an explanation."
The strange policeman said: "Let's go, let's go, don't be ignorant. They owe you wages, and you have to get them through legitimate channels, do you understand?"
If he wanted to do so through legitimate channels, he would have to file a lawsuit with You Xingbao. But Li Jinxuan currently has neither the prosecution fees nor the time and energy to fight. He can only work hard at small jobs while thinking hard about how to make a comeback.
Like the rightists who decentralized labor during the emergency period, he ate, lived and worked with the migrant workers all day long. But his future was slimmer than that of the rightists. The rightists at that time were later rehabilitated and saw the light of day again.
. And now he is penniless and homeless due to evil people... If he is unable to save himself, who will help him?
After all, he was a scholar with fair face and tender hands. After only working for a few days, his face became dark and thin, and his hands were covered with layers of blood blisters and calluses.
The scene of migrant workers sweating profusely on the construction site reminded him of the intellectual youth he had seen in his childhood when they went to the mountains and countryside to move. It was only more than twenty years before and after, and it was like a tsunami, and the sea water poured in. At that time, the people in the city
People flocked to the countryside to receive re-education from poor and lower-middle peasants; but now, people from the countryside are flowing to the city to contribute to urban construction.
Even he, a former teacher and journalist, moved back to the city and became a veritable migrant worker. But at that time, educated youths worked in the countryside. Although they only earned a few work points a day, they received equal pay for equal work as poor and lower-middle peasants; but today's migrant workers
They work in the city for more than ten hours a day and only get a few dozen yuan. However, some people can get tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even more just by opening their mouths, approving notes and making agreements.
, what a huge contrast this is!
Isn't that Mr. Hu just such a person? He is just a manager of a small company. He relies on the power in his hands to ask for money without blinking an eye, and eats people's blood and sweat without frowning. He has a house with a salary share from the state.
The car was provided with benefits, and he kept asking people for money. I didn’t know how much it would cost, but he and Lao Qi gave him 40,000 yuan (including items) for free.
But he couldn't figure it out. How could such a person feel at ease when he accepted other people's money but didn't do anything for them? The ancients even understood the principle of receiving no reward without merit.
Last year, after he met his student by chance, he got into a circle that he was unfamiliar with. Everyone has his own circle of activities. What kind of circle determines what kind of fate. Really, and what kind of situation he is in
In this circle, people are often not sober at times, and it is difficult to get out easily.
This is really a circle that is both tempting and harmful. Once a person is introduced into it, it is like being addicted to drugs and cannot stop.
He couldn't remember who led him into this circle in the first place. Of course, the person who led him had no bad intentions. After twists and turns, he finally met his student by chance.
He had heard news about this a long time ago. Some of his fellow villagers had become new Shanghainese by taking on projects, but he had never seen it before, and he didn't quite believe it. This time he met Sun Hongxing by chance, and he saw with his own eyes a young man.
, the process of transforming into a new Shanghainese, I had to believe it.
Sun Hongxing's legendary success process made him deeply surprised and shocked, as well as ashamed and uneasy, which strengthened his determination to follow this path.
But is he suitable to take this path? Can he become famous in this circle?
He had no idea at all and couldn't figure out the direction. He had no choice but to wander around like a headless fly in this completely unfamiliar circle. After darting around, he finally bumped into someone.
Who is this person? He is an old man who sets up a beach in Pengpu New Village and sells snacks. His surname is Qi. Lao Qi is also from northern Jiangsu. He is about sixty years old. He usually dresses like a beggar. When walking on the road, he can't hold it in.
Find a dark corner to pee.
He is illiterate and can't understand much Mandarin, but he is strong and has a loud voice. When he speaks, it's like he's quarreling with someone. On the surface, he is simple and stupid, but in his bones, he has the cunning and wit of a peasant, and he also has the ambition to try his best.
Ambition.
He didn't pay attention to what he was wearing, so his brother, who was a senior engineer at a design institute in Shanghai, would frown whenever he saw him. He would never let him enter his work unit or enter his home. He would only let him
Call if you have anything.
One day, someone introduced him to Lao Qi, and Lao Qi told him that his brother was a senior engineer who specialized in designing architectural drawings for large units. He had many connections and a wide network, and could introduce construction projects to others.
Li Jinxuan was overjoyed.
He was busy running around here and there every day, but he kept going in circles among intermediaries, wasting his energy, and worrying about not meeting the true Bodhisattva. Now that the opportunity had come, how could he miss it?
So, no matter what Lao Qi said, he always agreed. Then when he had something to do, he would hang around his stall, constantly urging him to take him to see his brother.
On this day, Lao Qi finally took him to the Bund to meet his brother. When he arrived in front of his brother's unit, Lao Qi stepped forward and said loudly to the guard: "I'm looking for Qi Songlin, I'm his younger brother."
The doorman called up, and his brother asked him to wait downstairs while he came down.
After a while, a gray-haired intellectual came downstairs. Lao Qi greeted him with a grin on his face and introduced him: "His name is Li Jinxuan. He has always wanted to meet you. Can you help him introduce a project?"
His brother looked him up and down: "Which construction company do you work for?"
Li Jinxuan told the name of the construction company he was affiliated with. His brother said, "Okay, I'll let you know after I get in touch." After that, he turned around and went upstairs.
A few days later, Lao Qi said to him: "I think it's better to buy something for my brother, otherwise he won't take it to heart."
Li Jinxuan thought for a while and said, "Then you have to take me there."
Lao Qi said: "My brother never lets others go to his house."
Li Jinxuan was worried: "I only went downstairs to his house, not up."
Only then did Lao Qi agree.
Li Jinxuan asked: "How much does it cost?"
Lao Qi said: "Forget it's less, just two thousand yuan. Five hundred yuan will be used to buy gifts, and the rest will be used as red envelopes."
After it was agreed, Lao Qi took him to an old-fashioned alley on Huaihai Road that day, took the two thousand yuan he gave him, and first went to a store to buy about five hundred yuan of tobacco and alcohol.
