Chapter 952: Prison Friend

Although Wang Yan told Xiong Qingchun to ask everywhere, there are always certain requirements.

For example, small shops with papers recruiting people posted on the roadside, whether it is hairdressing, shops, restaurants, nail salons, etc., they all have a commonality, that is, they lack one or two people for a long time, and it does not have such a big impact on the daily operation of the shop. Many of them are husband-and-wife shops, or the boss supports it alone.

And they probably won't be willing to spend an extra expense to let others recruit people for them. They are more inclined to be introduced by relatives and friends, or pass by by chance, enter the shop to ask, and the two sides talk directly. If it works, it works; if it doesn't, it doesn't.

As for small-scale companies, they also prefer to post job openings online themselves. After all, there are so many job seekers; as long as they post on recruitment platforms, countless young people will submit their resumes, allowing them to pick and choose at their leisure.

So relatively speaking, Wang Yan's goal is still relatively clear, that is, hotel venues and related event companies, and then logistics companies like this, which have a need for short-term workers.

Just like what he told Xiong Qingchun, meeting filling, logistics handling, etc., need some extra people in a short time. Do some small work first, and stabilize these work, so that the income is stabilized, and then continue to expand upward and open up new businesses. That is, cooperating with decent companies, whether it is recruitment or taking advantage of the situation to do labor, is a natural development.

In general, it is to continuously broaden and extend the business and form a virtuous operation. This is not a principle that is difficult to understand. Ever since Western countries sanctioned China, primary school students know that everything must be had by themselves. Similarly, as a company, it must also form a complete business chain, and the source of revenue cannot be too single. This is a kind of inevitability.

Of course, Wang Yan's Strength Pill is not included, and then there are tobacco, electricity, and the two barrels of oil, which are all monopoly businesses, and it doesn't matter if they are single. Of course, Wang Yan's Strength Pill is relatively more advanced. After all, he doesn't rely on the country's monopoly policy like tobacco companies; he really masters core technology, and basically no one can crack his formula.

Wandering outside like this for a morning, at lunch time, Wang Yan drove back to the job agency.

Looking at the Youth Job Agency, which was pulled down by the rolling shutter door at noon, Wang Yan seemed to have thought of something and raised his eyebrows.

He stepped forward a few steps, pulled up the rolling shutter door, and unexpectedly, he saw the scene of Xiong Qingchun carefully appeasing a man in the shop.

"I tell you, don't go too far, my boyfriend is here. At the beginning, I said that money was borrowed from you, and I would definitely return it to you when I was rich in the future. How can you still come to the door to blackmail?"

Seeing Wang Yan pull up the rolling shutter door, Xiong Qingchun, who was just careful, became strong, her voice full of confidence, and at the same time silently moved her steps, leaning toward Wang Yan's direction.

Wang Yan smiles, very naturally reaching out to embrace Xiong Qingchun, and speaks to the man in front who can't believe it: "How is it, it's only been more than two months and you don't recognize me?"

"Yan Ge? Is it really you? Why are you here? And with this blackmailing woman?" Zheng Qiudong's expression is very complex, with surprise, a little fear, and even more incomprehension.

Not caring about being called "blackmailing," Xiong Qingchun looks at the two people back and forth, and finally pokes Wang Yan's abdomen with her elbow, asking in a low voice: "Hey, what's going on? Do you two know each other?"

"Prison friend." Wang Yan replies with a smile.

"Good, are you two in the same gang?" Xiong Qingchun shakes off Wang Yan's hand and runs to stand aside by herself.

"What are you talking about? I don't even understand what's going on. Qiudong, have you eaten?"

"No."

"That's just right, let's deal with it first, and we'll go to a restaurant at night. What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and serve the dishes. I've been busy all morning and I'm starving, hurry up."

Seeing Xiong Qingchun still not moving, Wang Yan waves his hand, "Forget it, let's go together, okay? I won't collude with him."

After saying that, Wang Yan walks to the back.

Xiong Qingchun glares at the confused Zheng Qiudong, and glares even more fiercely at the back of the shameless Wang Yan, but still follows Wang Yan to get the food and dishes, and the three of them sit down to eat like this.

"Tell me, what is the grudge between you two?" Wang Yan eats the food in big mouthfuls, saying to Zheng Qiudong who has no heart to eat.

"This woman is snake-hearted, really."

"Hey, it was you who faked someone else's identity and was caught by me. Besides, I've said it so many times? That twenty thousand was borrowed from you, and I even gave you an IOU later. I am a person who is one is one and two is two."

"Fart, then why was I fired by Shangu after I gave you money for a few days?"

"Oh, I understand."

Wang Yan interrupted their argument. "You used a fake identity to get hired at Shangu, you didn't know what was going on, discovered his fake identity, and then extorted two hundred thousand from him. As for you, to protect your identity, you gave him the two hundred thousand. But a few days later, you were still exposed and were kicked out of Shangu in disgrace. You think she went back on her word, so you came to demand an explanation?"

"Basically about the same, your girlfriend is quite bold, she even dares to blackmail people who came out of prison." Zheng Qiudong nods, very angry.

"I am a person who keeps my word, it really wasn't me. What good does that do me? If I knew you had been in, I wouldn't even dare to talk to you, and would definitely hide far away."

"You see, it wasn't her who said it."

"Impossible, I was exposed after meeting her." Zheng Qiudong says very firmly.

"I really didn't report you. To tell you the truth, I wish you would continue to work there. The higher your position, the better. I have your handle in my hand. Borrowing twenty thousand from you this time, isn't it better to borrow fifty thousand next time?"

"Then how do you say I was exposed?"

Wang Yan smiles: "Isn't there a Luo Yiren?"

"I only said it once, and you remembered it?"

"Yiren, what a good name to remember. Besides, you were so miserable and were studied by people; this story is unforgettable. You went back to Beijing this time and met her, right?"

"Met, it was a cocktail party, she was the one following me that day." Zheng Qiudong points to Xiong Qingchun, itching with hatred.

"You hand that computer to me." Wang Yan points to Zheng Qiudong's side.

Zheng Qiudong obeys without understanding, takes the computer, and hands it over.

Wang Yan receives it, tinkers with it a few times, and hands it to him: "You look at it."

"What is it?" Xiong Qingchun curiously leans over and looks at a photo on the computer.

That is exactly Zheng Qiudong's college time, together with Luo Yiren, Bai Lichin, and other two classmates.

Zheng Qiudong looks at the photo, his eyes full of nostalgia for the past, and regret for Luo Yiren. After being silent for a while, he raises his head again and asks: "Yan Ge, how do you have this photo?"

"Public search on the internet."

"Public search?"

"Luo Yiren is the Chairman and CEO of Zhongbao Media, which is an enterprise with quite a lot of energy in the cultural field. Behind her is Xia Jiguo of the XX Ministry. Everyone is an adult, and the relationship between them is not difficult to guess, right? Luo Yiren is the lover of this high-ranking official Xia Jiguo."

"And as far as I know, your Shangu Group also has a lot of business in the cultural and media field, and is planning to operate for listing, so Xia Jiguo's weight is very important, and then Xia Jiguo's external agent Luo Yiren is naturally important. Shangu Group conducted some investigations on Luo Yiren, catering to her preferences, hoping that Luo Yiren would blow some pillow wind, etc. Do you think the relationship between Luo Yiren and you will be any secret? As long as you investigate Luo Yiren, you will inevitably involve you."

"And this time you reunited with her, although both were suppressing emotional fluctuations, others must have seen it. Did you two find a chance to talk alone?"

Zheng Qiudong lowers his head and sighs.

He already believes Wang Yan's analysis, because it is reasonable and well-founded, and it is indeed correct. He previously blocked the female comrade in the underground garage to ask questions, and the person said "whoever you met recently is who," he naturally thought it was Xiong Qingchun, and didn't think of Luo Yiren.

This can't blame him either. On one hand, Luo Yiren gave him a very strong sense of security; on the other hand, Xiong Qingchun did blackmail him, and he was extremely angry, so he didn't think carefully and killed Nanning to find Xiong Qingchun to settle accounts.

This couldn't really be blamed on him; on one hand, Luo Yiren gave him a very strong sense of security, and on the other, Xiong Qingchun had indeed blackmailed him, and he was in a state of extreme anger, so he didn't think it through properly and just charged straight to Nanning to settle the score with Xiong Qingchun.

He sighed; the composition of that was quite complex. There was Luo Yiren being a mistress to a high-ranking official, his own disgrace of having his fake identity exposed and being fired, and his remorse for his past experiences—all in all, he was a walking contradiction.

Zi Yi Ren is like a marmot, looking at the big melon with excitement...

Wang Yan asks: "How did you think of faking someone else's identity?"

"Yan Ge, it's too difficult, really too difficult." Zheng Qiudong raises his head, his eyes a bit red, "After I came out, I was looked down upon for doing anything. The hotel I stayed in happened to be the one where I was caught. As a result, the staff there had seen me before, and he actually called the police. What did I do? Why treat me like this? Do I have to deny me completely because I made a mistake once? Why? This is unfair!"

"I had no choice, so I used the identity arranged by his friend when I was doing things for my master. I pretended to be a reporter, went to visit and investigate his social relations, and remembered all his things. His identity was very easy to use; he graduated with a PhD, and I was reading MBA, and going to the president class... It's over, everything is over. I was put on the blacklist of human resources. With my own identity, no one will want me anymore."

"Your words are very shameless."

Wang Yan says very impolitely, "You are doing pyramid schemes; no one forced you to do it, right? So many people were cheated to the point of family destruction, and some women even became tools, and some people were beaten to death. Don't you know these things?"

"I was for..."

"Everyone has a pile of reasons, but that is not the reason for you to excuse your own guilt. The legal provisions clearly stipulate what cannot be done. You did it, so you have to be punished. You think that since you have been punished, everything in the past should be written off. This is wrong, because your real punishment should be to die.

What is my real punishment? It is to be half-disabled, lying on the bed waiting for death. Then you should pay for the sins of those family destruction with your life; this is the fairness you are talking about."

"We live in such a society with morality. Although people are full of male theft and female prostitution, the people who are caught and reformed are you and me. A dog can't change eating shit; no one believes that a person will really turn over a new leaf, and in fact, it is indeed the case. People are just afraid. Whether it is fearing the law or the so-called retribution in the dark, they are all afraid."

"Are you really repentant? Obviously not. You are repentant that you were caught and had five years that are hard to talk about. If you weren't caught back then, you should have a house of more than 100 square meters in Beijing, a decent job, and maybe a child with Luo Yiren, and you would live happily together. At that time, would you think your money was made by sin?"

"No, you would only think that it was you who took the risk and earned it with your good eloquence and hard work. Now you are uncomfortable, because you lost a lot, five years of youth, a bright future, and Luo Yiren. If you were there, then after that Bai Lichin died, would you two be together? Instead of being a lover for others like now."

"Qiudong, don't package yourself so noble, saying as if you are so pitiful and innocent. There is a line in that gangster movie that is very right: when you come out to mix, you have to admit it if you are wrong, and stand at attention if you are beaten. You are like this now, it's really boring."

Listening to Wang Yan's impolite words that pierced his heart, Zheng Qiudong was very angry. His red eyes glared at Wang Yan, clenching his fists, but he was not confused to that extent after all. He naturally understood that what Wang Yan said was right.

He seemed to be deflated, and actually buried his head and cried.

Xiong Qingchun looked disgusted and winked at Wang Yan.

Wang Yan raised his eyebrows at her, eating his food in big mouthfuls, and ignored the crying Zheng Qiudong at all, instead asking her: "What about that twenty thousand? Did you give it to your boyfriend to study abroad?"

Xiong Qingchun glared at Wang Yan, pretending not to hear, and ate silently.

"Oh my, I really look at you with new eyes. You would rather blackmail people than pay to support your boyfriend to study abroad? Your boyfriend is really not good; he must know your economic situation, and I think he must have asked you very solemnly where so much money came from."

"You made up a reason casually, and then he believed it, and took your money to study abroad? He must have said, no matter what, this money will definitely be returned to you in the future. Ah, what a great love."

"Are you finished?" Xiong Qingchun was unhappy, tapping the table unhappily, "Okay, big man, crying and whining when encountering a little setback, what does it look like?"

Zheng Qiudong raised his head with swollen eyes, looking at Xiong Qingchun confusedly...???

He heard the conversation.

"Crying is also quite good, releasing psychological pressure, which is good for physical and mental health." Wang Yan smiles, "I actually quite understand. You don't have to blame me for speaking heavily; you know I'm just straight."

Zheng Qiudong shakes his head, wipes his tears, blows his nose, and turns to ask: "Yan Ge, why are you here? And with her?"

"I have nowhere to go either. When I was inside, I told you, I'm not young anymore, I can't toss, so I just want to live a stable life. I felt very boring just one week after coming out. I had enough of the seaside, so I walked to this capital.

I thought again, I can't sit and eat, so I came here to see if I could find a job to mix a bowl of rice. I didn't expect it to be quite smooth. I came here to try my luck to find a job, and I saw her. Look, is she quite beautiful? I also had love at first sight, so I stayed here to work for her."

"I heard you say just now, she has a boyfriend?"

"Yes, the money for studying abroad was sponsored by you. I'm just waiting for them to break up."

Xiong Qingchun rolls her eyes wildly, but she is helpless, and can only change the subject: "Hey, don't think about those sad things, tell me what it's like inside? And tell me about this scoundrel, is he also a tyrant inside?"

"What are you thinking? Do you really think you are watching a Hong Kong movie? Prison on Fire? Everyone is honestly working and reforming, and it's not that exaggerated. However, there are people who don't get along. After all, many people are lawless, and they are quite fierce inside. Occasionally, there are still some contradictions."

"Yan Ge... is quite good. He didn't act like a tyrant, but others didn't dare to provoke him, and he didn't provoke others. Usually, he is actively reforming, focusing on learning, and has taken quite a few certificates, even CMA, which is..."

"The US Certified Management Accountant, I know, he showed me that certificate yesterday."

"Hmm, Yan Ge's sentence reduction relied on these. We are the same, but I am not as powerful as Yan Ge. I also got two sentence reductions, once for half a year, and was released one year early."

"Are you two in the same room?"

"Why are you so curious? Otherwise, Qiudong, you call the police and send her in for three or five years."

"Look at you, is it interesting? I borrowed it, and I have a copy of the IOU here. Don't worry, I will definitely return this money to you in the future." Xiong Qingchun is resisting with her whole body, "I'm just curious, can't I talk about it?"

Zheng Qiudong wipes the tears from the corners of his eyes again, with a look of memory: "We two had the same sentence, five and a half years. Yan Ge was caught after me. However, because my case was complex, the case settlement time was long. I stayed in the detention center for half a year, and Yan Ge was faster than me, so we were basically transferred to Beihai Prison in one batch."

"There are indeed people who bully others. When we first entered, we were not very happy with everyone. This is normal, right? Bullying newcomers everywhere, prison is the same. However, Yan Ge was quite awesome. At that time..." ===== CHAPTER 953 =====

"There were indeed people who bullied others inside; when we first went in, things weren't very pleasant with everyone. That's normal, though; everywhere is the same, bullying the newcomers, and prison is no different. But Brother Yan was quite impressive; back then..."
