"Yes!" Zhou Anqin asked: "Is there something?"

"Accompany me shopping." Meng Tian said: "I want to buy some clothes."

"Okay!" Zhou Anqin nodded: "Just right, the weather is a bit cool, I'll buy two pieces too."

After finishing the meal, it was already almost six o'clock in the evening; when leaving, they greeted Gu Qian, and the two went to the shopping mall.

By the time they returned to school, it was already past eight o'clock; the dormitory aunt saw Meng Tian and stopped her: "Meng Tian, someone called you half an hour ago, saying it was your cousin."

Meng Tian said: "Anqin, you go back to the dormitory first; I'll call my cousin back."

"Okay!" Zhou Anqin turned and left.

Meng Tian picked up the phone and called Gu Qian, and the other party answered quickly.

"Meng Tian?"

"It's me." Meng Tian said: "Looking for me for something?"

Gu Qian asked: "When do you have time to invite your junior out for a meal together?"

Meng Tian smiled: "You should give up this idea; I tested her today, and she refused."

How could Gu Qian give up: "How did you test her?"

"I think it's better if you don't know." Meng Tian was very afraid that her cousin would be hit: "You will be hit; if you are depressed, then I will become a sinner of your old Gu family."

"Less nonsense!" Gu Qian's tone was very dissatisfied: "In this world, besides you always hitting me, who can hit me."

"Well, I'll say it." Meng Tian's smiling appearance couldn't be seen by Gu Qian; if he saw it, it was highly probable that he would change his mind.

"Dawdling!" Gu Qian said: "Hurry up."

"Okay!" Meng Tian said: "I said, you are only 27, and now you are the deputy director of the Credit Department of the National Bank; you can be said to be young and promising, and your future is immeasurable."

Gu Qian unconsciously revealed a proud smile: "How did she answer?"

Meng Tian smiled again: "She said, very coincidental, you are the same age as her brother."

Gu Qian was completely confused; he pondered for a long time, but didn't figure out where this sentence had the meaning of refusing him.

"Why don't I understand?"

"Don't understand?" Meng Tian said: "You will understand if you know who her brother is."

"Who is her brother?" Gu Qian was even more confused.

Meng Tian really couldn't bear to hit Gu Qian: "Her name is Zhou Anqin, and her brother is Zhou Andong."

Gu Qian frowned: "Her brother is Zhou Andong, so what; how on earth did you hear that she was refusing me?"

Meng Tian was speechless: "Her brother is Zhou Andong, the same age as you; you are young and promising, but compared with her brother, the gap is too big."

"No!" Gu Qian was anxious: "Her brother is Zhou An..."

Gu Qian suddenly shut his mouth, and after a long while, he asked tentatively: "Zhou Andong from Yugong Group?"

"What do you think?" Meng Tian sighed: "She doesn't fancy you; unless you can reach Zhou Andong's height, perhaps you might have a chance."

Gu Qian was very unconvinced: "We just met once; she doesn't know anything about me, so it's very normal to refuse. But I believe that sincerity can open metal and stone; you have to create opportunities for us so that I can pursue her."

"I said, you won't have a chance." Meng Tian didn't want to hit Gu Qian, but she had to let him recognize reality: "Zhou Anqin is not the girls you knew before.

She lacks nothing in status, position, or wealth; in the situation where she has clearly refused, if I still help you invite her, I definitely won't even be able to be friends with her in the future."

After speaking, Meng Tian hung up the phone directly; she didn't want to lose a friend like Zhou Anqin because of Gu Qian. Mainly, losing a friend like Zhou Anqin meant losing the opportunity to get to know Zhou Andong, and she wouldn't be that stupid.

………………

The next day, the news of Zhou Andong ordering his subordinates to beat up a returning Chinese merchant was overwhelming, even more ferocious than the verbal attacks caused by the speech a few days ago.

Because this matter was Zhou Andong's fault, it was illegal and criminal, and some people couldn't help him even if they wanted to. This made some people even more energetic, questioning the law enforcement departments one after another.

Like a black merchant, bully, local ruffian, and hooligan like Zhou Andong, why hasn't he been arrested yet? It's been so many days, and he's still at large; the law of the country cannot tolerate it, where is the justice of heaven! Is someone practicing favoritism and malpractice, and must be strictly investigated.

A courtyard with strict guards, an apricot tree, a small tea table, a rattan chair; an old man was sitting on the rattan chair reading a newspaper.

Beside him, a small stove was burning vigorously, and on the small stove, a teapot was steaming with heat.

A middle-aged man wearing a military uniform and carrying two stars and three stripes walked into the courtyard: "Chief!"

The old man raised his head, saw the middle-aged man, and took off his reading glasses.

"How is it."

The middle-aged man said: "The police are under great pressure; if they don't arrest people, some people will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble."

The old man placed the newspaper in his hand on the tea table and picked up the teacup to take a sip.

"This little comrade Zhou Andong, what is he doing; it's already burning his ass, and he's really calm enough."

The middle-aged man hesitated: "Should we say hello to the Propaganda Department and control such reports?"

The old man waved his hand: "Let the police put some pressure on him; I want to see if he is really calm, or if he has no ability to solve this matter."

The middle-aged man saluted and turned to leave.

Beijing Municipal Bureau Director Yue Guoqiang was also looking at the newspaper, his brows furrowing tighter and tighter.

In fact, he had always had doubts; for a smart person like Zhou Andong, even if he really ordered his subordinates to beat up a Chinese merchant, how could he let people grasp the handle?

This is very unreasonable, and this is also the reason why he has not taken action against Zhou Andong. But it won't work now; public opinion is rampant, and if he doesn't arrest him, there might be big problems.

"Pop, pop, pop..."

The office door was suddenly knocked; Yue Guoqiang put down the newspaper: "Come in."

The door creaked; he didn't expect that the one who came in was actually his own daughter, Yue Lei. "Why are you here?"

Yue Lei's expression was not very good: "You've read the newspapers from the last two days, right."

Yue Guoqiang knocked on the table: "Look, I just put down the newspaper."

Yue Lei pulled over a chair and sat opposite Yue Guoqiang: "What do you plan to do?"

Yue Guoqiang was silent for a while: "I have to arrest him."

Yue Lei sneered: "You should know what kind of people these are who are cursing Zhou Andong and shouting to arrest Zhou Andong."

"I know, but there's no way." Yue Guoqiang smiled bitterly: "Song Ziyi, that Chinese merchant, already called the police before. Now the public opinion reaction is too strong; if we don't arrest people, there will be problems."

Yue Lei looked at her father and said very calmly: "In this Qiudongfang recruitment, 67 families of martyrs were successfully hired; besides the 21 people who have a technical secondary school diploma or above, everyone else was arranged in the logistics department.

Yesterday afternoon, Tang Bei, the general manager of RT-Mart, found me; before the end of 1996, RT-Mart in several cities such as Jiangzhou, Qishi, Yangcheng, Guancheng, Shencheng, Shanghai, and Zhuhai will open one after another, and martyr families will be given priority in job arrangements.

Also, by the end of next year or early the year after, the Brave to the End Beer Factory will build a branch in Beijing, and martyr families will still be given priority in job arrangements. And it is promised that RT-Mart and the liquor factory will arrange for no less than 1,500 martyr families."
