Chapter 1761: Tremor

"No problem."

Zheng Jun agreed very readily; the temptation of one hundred cases of the special-supply Imperial Tribute Wine was too great.

Moreover, this was also an opportunity to get closer to Zhou Andong, so he naturally wouldn't miss it.

Besides, he was very well-informed about Rao Zhanhua's case, and since he was a professional himself, he absolutely wouldn't lose.

"Count me in," Yang Mulin said with a smile. "Such a good thing, I can't miss it."

Wan Fuyuan opened his mouth, very much wanting to take advantage of this bargain, but the words reached his lips and he swallowed them back.

In a bet like this, it looked like Zhou Andong would definitely lose; after all, Zheng Jun was the professional.

As for what crimes Rao Zhanhua had committed and whether he could be sentenced to death, he certainly had an idea in his mind.

But what kind of person was Zhou Andong? In the Dongtai affair, he had even calculated Yang Mulin to death.

Would he rush to propose this bet without being certain?

Zhou Andong looked at Yang Mulin and Zheng Jun: "If you win, I'll give each of you one hundred cases. If you lose, each of you will treat me to a month of meals, with the locations chosen by me."

"Fine," Yang Mulin said. "However, if we win, you can just donate the wine to our unit in the form of a consolation gift."

"Can do!"

Zhou Andong looked up at the night sky; it was still hazy, and cool wisps of rain were falling on his face.

"Mayor Yang, Director Zheng, congratulations on the complete success of your sweep-black-and-evil operation tonight. I'll be heading back now."

Yang Mulin shook hands with Zhou Andong: "I wish you a smooth journey. Regardless of whether you win or lose this bet, when you come to Guancheng again, I will also treat you to a drink."

Zhou Andong shook hands with Zheng Jun again, said goodbye, and then returned to the street-side food stall with Wang Wentian and Wan Fuyuan.

At this moment, the owner was already dumbfounded, standing there, looking across the street and sighing repeatedly.

"It's over, this time it's really over."

Zhou Andong said with a smile: "Dongtai has been investigated; you can go set up your stall somewhere else."

The owner sighed repeatedly: "Other places don't have as much business as Dongtai."

"Good wine doesn't fear a deep alley," Zhou Andong said. "Your dishes are cooked very well; I believe you won't fail to do business anywhere."

"I hope so," the owner said, his face full of worry. "The main thing is that my wife is in poor health and takes medicine year-round, my father is paralyzed in bed, and I have two children to raise."

Zhou Andong was stunned: "Yali!"

Huang Yali hurriedly responded: "Boss!"

Zhou Andong said: "Give me a business card."

Huang Yali found Zhou Andong's business card in her bag and handed it over.

Zhou Andong took the card and asked the owner: "Do you know the RT-Mart supermarket?"

"The one on Xinfeng Road?" The owner actually knew it, which was unexpected: "It hasn't opened yet, but the dining area is currently recruiting merchants; I know about that."

Zhou Andong asked: "Are you interested in opening a stall at RT-Mart?"

"The supermarket looks very big," the owner shook his head. "But I went to ask around, the rent is too expensive, and I don't know how the business will be.

The money for rent, renovation, and equipment added together is not a small amount. Once you invest, there is no turning back. Our family situation can't afford to lose."

Zhou Andong frowned. When he went to RT-Mart the day before yesterday, the manager reported that the dining area recruitment was going quite well, and he hadn't thought too much about it at the time.

It was estimated that many people were in the same situation as this owner; they had the heart to rent a stall at RT-Mart, but because they didn't understand the supermarket's situation and were afraid of losing money, they backed out.

The main thing was that they couldn't afford to lose; once they lost, it was possible to plunge their family into difficulty.

Zhou Andong pondered for a moment and handed the business card in his hand to the owner: "This is my business card. You take it to RT-Mart and say that I told you to go; the first three months of rent will be waived.

In addition, the renovation and equipment will be handled by RT-Mart. If your business isn't good, you can quit within three months without paying a cent. If the business is good, you can pay the rent then."

The owner looked incredulous, holding the business card, which only had a name, a phone number, and a pager number on it.

"Re... really?"

Zhou Andong smiled: "True or not, you go over and take a look; you won't lose a piece of meat."

The owner thought about it and felt it was right, so he followed suit and smiled: "Okay, I'll go try tomorrow."

If it were a more shrewd person, they would absolutely not say the words "go try."

Instead, they would express some gratitude, or even stir-fry two more dishes and treat Zhou Andong to two bottles of beer.

If this matter were fake, it would only cost two bottles of beer and the price of a few dishes.

But if this matter really succeeded, this business card would be equivalent to a Shangfang Sword; if they kept in touch more in the future, the benefits would definitely be great.

Zhou Andong didn't care; if the owner were really that shrewd, he wouldn't be setting up a stall on the side of the big road.

In this era, Guancheng was truly full of gold everywhere. With such skills, the owner could make a lot of money no matter where he opened a shop.

"Alright, let's go too."

Zhou Andong looked up at the opposite side; a battalion, plus a special police team, such a scene was truly not small.

But compared to the scene of taking down Dongtai in 2009 in his previous life, it was not even close.

Not only were more than a dozen armored vehicles dispatched, but even a helicopter brigade participated in the operation.

Zhou Andong and his group left amidst the discussions all around; they still didn't take a taxi, but walked back instead.

"Yali!"

"Here, Boss!"

"Tomorrow, you call the RT-Mart manager. For the dining area recruitment, if there are merchants with economic difficulties, let them open an introduction letter from the street or the village.

As long as it is true and valid, the first three months of rent will be waived, and the stall renovation will also be handled by the company."

"Okay!" Huang Yali took out her notebook and wrote it down.

Zhou Andong did a large stretching movement and loosened up his body.

"Still the same sentence, we are doing business, we must be a service-oriented enterprise. We make money ourselves, but we cannot forget the common people who are still struggling on the poverty line."

…………………………

The next day, the news that Dongtai was sealed and Rao Zhanhua was arrested swept through the entire Guancheng like a whirlwind.

It was just that this operation was too sudden; even the other standing committee members in the city didn't know the news.

When they arrived at the office in the morning, they only heard the secretary's report, which shocked them while also making it unclear what Yang Mulin's purpose was in doing this.

One by one, they sat in their offices, smoking cigarette after cigarette, drinking cup after cup of tea, constantly pondering whether something was hidden behind this matter.

After all, Yang Mulin personally served as the commander-in-chief for last night's operation. If they didn't figure out what the problem was, let alone today's work, they wouldn't even be able to sleep well at night.

They didn't believe that Yang Mulin would offend the entire Dongtai system for no reason. There must be a huge interest relationship hidden in this. ===== CHAPTER 1762 =====
