Chapter 689

A sudden shout came from the crowd: "You are a running dog and a traitor, and you still have the face to call the police."

"Exactly, you've done something shameful, and you still have the face to call the police."

"Go ahead and call them, we aren't afraid."

After hearing the news that Gao Zong had been arrested, Qiao Zhenghai was so excited he couldn't sleep all night, because his chance to move up had come.

However, he had to first determine why Gao Zong was arrested. If he ended up wasting favors and spending money, only for Gao Zong to return in the end, that would be a huge loss.

But after asking around, no one knew the reason, and the young man who worked for Gao Zong had also disappeared; he was likely either arrested or had run away.

This made Qiao Zhenghai anxious, and he finally asked a district leader to get a rough idea. But it was this rough idea that, while making him excited, also made him curse Gao Zong as a fool.

Immediately after, news of Gao Zong's confession spread, and Qiao Zhenghai no longer hesitated, starting to pull strings everywhere. Just as he was feeling smug and preparing to take over the position of general manager, the incident of the masses blockading McDonald's occurred.

It felt as if he had been hit in the back of the head with a club, his brain buzzing, but because there were too many people, he was afraid of causing a mass incident, so he didn't dare to show his face. He just had people scout the situation, and then, in his office, he dug up Gao Zong's ancestral graves and greeted all his female relatives.

It wasn't until the Dicos balcony show started that the people blockading McDonald's left, which also allowed Qiao Zhenghai to breathe a sigh of relief.

What he didn't expect was that these people came back again today, and there were even more of them than yesterday; he couldn't avoid showing his face to resolve it.

Because it had already seriously affected McDonald's reputation and business, if he let the situation develop, let alone the general manager position, he wouldn't even be able to keep his deputy general manager seat.

"Hey, this comrade, don't eat at McDonald's. You are aiding the enemy and suppressing our national enterprises."

"Right, right, right, you guys should go eat at Dicos."

"What happened?"

"Come, come, come, let me tell you..."

Things like this were happening every moment. Some, after listening, immediately joined the ranks of those blockading McDonald's.

Qiao Zhenghai was shaking with anger: "Call the police, call the police, arrest all these unruly people."

"You motherfucker, who are you calling unruly?"

"This old dog, does he still think it's the old society? He actually dares to call us unruly."

"Now it's the new society, we the common people are already the masters of the house, how can we tolerate a running dog and traitor like you acting so arrogantly? Hit him."

"Hit him!"

The crowd stirred, Qiao Zhenghai's scalp went numb, and seeing that things were bad, he turned to run.

Just at this moment, a yellow rubber shoe with a strong odor drew a perfect arc in the air, and with a 'slap', it landed on Qiao Zhenghai's face.

This was like a signal for a charge; two or three hundred people, shouting slogans of "Down with the traitor" and "Down with the sellout," rushed forward.

"General Manager Qiao, run!" A deputy manager, who was younger and reacted quickly enough, grabbed Qiao Zhenghai and ran back into McDonald's.

The other leaders, who would dare to be so stubborn as to block them, also followed and ran back.

As for those standing at the door confronting the masses, most were waiters; seeing such a situation, their faces turned white with fear, so how could they dare to block them.

The crowd rushed into McDonald's, and seeing Qiao Zhenghai run away, someone in the crowd shouted again: "Smash this broken shop."

"Smash it!"

"Smash the shop!"

"Bang!"

"Clang!"

"Crash!"

"Ping-pong!"

Jian Qiu watched, dumbfounded, and it took a long while for her to come to her senses.

"You didn't arrange for people to be inside, did you!"

Zhou Andong said softly: "Do you think I'm an idiot? If I, Zhou Andong, want to do something, I do it openly and aboveboard; how could I use such low-class methods."

Jian Qiu breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you weren't involved."

Zhou Andong took out a cigarette and silently lit one: "Your words have covered my heart in a layer of ice; even if it were cruelly shattered, it would still be covered in scars.

You love so firmly, why must you hurt me like this? Looking at your innocent and naive eyes right now, I am like duckweed on the sea, left to be washed by the waves, unable to see hope..."

Jian Qiu rolled her eyes at Zhou Andong: "Speak like a human!"

"Ah!" Zhou Andong puffed out his chest: "I didn't expect the sense of justice of the people in the Imperial Capital to be so strong."

Jian Qiu smiled: "Most have a sense of justice, but there is a small minority who love to join in the fun and aren't afraid of trouble. The ones who just started the shouting to hit people, including the ones leading the smashing of the shop now, are just that minority."

"I don't agree with your words." Zhou Andong smoked his cigarette, his face serious, "Justice is a belief, a persistence, something to be defended with one's life.

In today's society, there is deceit everywhere, and the souls and conscience of the people are under heavy impact from Western values. We need a force of justice to expose these ugly things and let hope and light illuminate the world, so I should be with them."

"The police are here!" Someone shouted.

"Let's go too!" Zhou Andong stepped forward to leave.

Jian Qiu asked: "Didn't you say you wanted to be with them?"

Zhou Andong said with a straight face: "I meant that my heart is with them."

"Pfft!" Tang Bei couldn't help but laugh out loud, and the others also lowered their heads and chuckled.

At this time, upstairs and downstairs at Dicos, more than half of the tables were occupied by hoodlums, and on every table, there was a cup of cola or iced black tea.

Ye Jun and Arresting Arresting Tong Huai Zhi sat at a table by the cashier, holding burgers, eating with great relish.

Just then, a young man walked over, lowered his head, and said something in Ye Jun's ear.

Ye Jun raised his head, his face full of surprise: "McDonald's was smashed?"

"Yes!" The young man nodded.

Arresting Arresting Tong Huai Zhi smiled and said: "Who has such guts to dare to smash McDonald's."

The young man said: "It's ordinary common people."

Arresting Arresting Tong Huai Zhi was stunned: "What kind of heaven-defying and people-resenting thing did McDonald's do?"

The young man muttered some more, Ye Jun and Arresting Arresting Tong Huai Zhi looked at each other, then laughed out loud.

Ye Jun laughed until he was a bit out of breath: "Interesting!"

Arresting Arresting Tong Huai Zhi sighed and said: "We should thank McDonald's for bearing everything for us."

Ye Jun waved his hand at the young man: "You keep an eye on this matter."

"Okay!" The young man turned and left.

An Jing came down from upstairs, and Ye Jun waved and greeted her very friendly: "General Manager An, good evening."

An Jing walked over, looking at them coldly: "Ye Jun, Arresting Arresting Tong Huai Zhi, you are so despicable and shameless, forcibly acquiring Dicos at a bottom price; sooner or later you will go to hell."

"Hahaha..." Ye Jun laughed wildly, "General Manager An, we are not young anymore, can you stop saying such childish things? If there were a hell, I would have gone down long ago, could I have waited until now?"

Arresting Arresting Tong Huai Zhi snorted coldly: "An Jing, I advise you to make a decision quickly; the longer you drag it out, the less good it will be for you."
