Chapter 156: The Fishmonger Has Actually Become an Entrepreneur?! [Please Subscribe]

【Is Big Brother Su Chen playing with us... is he pulling another stunt??】

【This Gao Qiqiang... a mere fishmonger???】

【Looking at An Xin's blank expression, he must have just become a police officer. This is a growth-type protagonist!】

【This show must be about watching An Xin develop step by step and smashing the dark forces one by one!】

【I've got it!! Gao Qiqiang is An Xin's friend, which means Gao Qiqiang might become An Xin's informant?!】

【Does that mean Gao Qiqiang might join forces with An Xin to purge all the dark forces in Jinghai City?!】

【So it's an undercover-style plot!!】

【Now that you put it that way, I'm looking forward to it!!】

【But Gao Qiqiang's age seems a bit high... he looks like he's over thirty!】

Countless viewers were chattering away, discussing the possibilities of *The Knockout*.

As for Su Chen choosing a fishmonger as a character, countless viewers expressed their confusion!

Clearly, a police officer like An Xin, who has room for growth, is also very challenging!

A growth-type protagonist can also stir the blood of countless viewers!

Why choose a fishmonger...

For a moment, everyone could only guess whether Gao Qiqiang would be an undercover agent or an informant planted by An Xin among the dark forces!

Perhaps later he could help An Xin solve countless major and serious cases! Thereby striking at the dark forces of the entire Jinghai City!

After all, many popular police-and-thief films follow this trajectory!

Meanwhile, in the interrogation room.

Under Li Xiang's questioning.

Gao Qiqiang also began to explain why he had a conflict with that group of thugs!

And in Gao Qiqiang's account!

The scene returned to three days ago!

Right in the wet market where Gao Qiqiang worked!

The leader of those two thugs appeared on screen again! Greeting the owners of every stall one by one.

The people who arrived were none other than the market managers of this Old Factory Street!

Tang Xiaolong! Tang Xiaohu!

And under the influence of the atmosphere at that time, these market managers were naturally a mixed bag of good and bad!

Relying on their authority to manage the market, they often acted like tyrants and gathered a group of lackeys who were also from a thug background.

Aside from the regular stall fees.

Tang Xiaolong and his cohorts were actually collecting an extremely unreasonable and high sanitation fee!

In other words.

It was protection money!

Regarding this, everyone in the market dared to be angry but dared not speak!

Although Gao Qiqiang knew it was unreasonable, he had to bow his head under the eaves; seeing Xiao Long and Xiao Hu reminding him that the sanitation fee would rise next year.

He could only accompany them with a smile and express his agreement.

But then, Tang Xiaolong went further, indicating he wanted to move Gao Qiqiang's fish stall from its good spot! Implying he wanted a plasma color TV!

This point made countless older viewers gasp.

That was the year 2000!

An era where even telephones weren't widespread!

The average monthly salary was less than one thousand yuan!

The price of a plasma color TV... was at least ten or twenty thousand yuan!

And at that time, being a "ten-thousand-yuan household" was already a sign of wealth!

A single TV could equal most people's annual salary!

How could these Tang Xiaolong and Tang Xiaohu even ask for it?!

Facing the two men's lion-sized demand.

Gao Qiqiang was very troubled.

On one hand, it was the good spot of the fish stall he had operated for many years; changing locations would be a huge blow to his business in the market!

On the other hand, it was a ten or twenty thousand yuan plasma TV! Even if they buried him, he couldn't come up with that money!

Struggling as he arrived at the appliance market, looking at the twenty-one thousand eight hundred yuan price tag for a plasma TV.

Gao Qiqiang was completely helpless.

In the end, he had to grit his teeth and buy a seven-thousand-yuan regular color TV to use as a gift.

Although there was a gap compared to a plasma color TV.

But in that era where TVs and bicycles were still the "three big items."

A seven-thousand-yuan color TV was definitely a major household appliance that countless families dreamed of!

But what made the viewers even angrier was.

Even though Gao Qiqiang had suffered a major financial loss to present the seven-thousand-yuan TV.

It couldn't satisfy the appetites of Tang Xiaolong and his group at all.

They made him take the TV back while pushing it directly down the stairs.

Suddenly.

Looking at the smashed TV.

Gao Qiqiang, in a fit of rage, rushed into Tang Xiaolong's house to demand an explanation.

And after that.

It was just as all the viewers saw at the beginning.

Tang Xiaolong and his group beat Gao Qiqiang up and even took the initiative to call the police, slandering Gao Qiqiang for breaking and entering to rob.

After understanding the cause and effect.

Li Xiang and An Xin showed two completely different attitudes in the interrogation room.

An Xin felt sympathy and pity for Gao Qiqiang.

After all, anyone with eyes could see that Tang Xiaolong's group was bullying others and the villains were filing the suit first.

It could completely count as the embryonic form of dark forces!

And Gao Qiqiang was a complete victim!

But Li Xiang did not carry the same sympathetic mentality as An Xin.

He fully intended to handle the matter strictly according to the law.

On New Year's Eve, he directly detained Gao Qiqiang at the police station.

But the soft-hearted An Xin secretly received Gao Qiqiang's younger siblings in the reception room.

It counted as letting the three Gao siblings eat their New Year's Eve dinner together and watch the Spring Festival Gala.

And because of this.

It seemed that a connection had formed between Gao Qiqiang and An Xin!

【Could it be because of what happened here! That's why they became friends!】

【It must be!】

【An Xin is such a good person!!】

【Gao Qiqiang is also honest... Li Xiang asked him who started the fight... and he actually admitted he was the one who started it... isn't this taking the blame voluntarily!】

【That's right... now Tang Xiaolong and the others have it easy!】

【Originally Tang Xiaolong and the others had power and influence, they couldn't be provoked!】

【I guess it's here, An Xin might want to win Gao Qiqiang over as his informant!】

【But Gao Qiqiang is just a fishmonger... and he looks so honest, how could he blend into a dark gang?】

And just as all the viewers in the live stream were discussing it fervently.

The scene shifted.

The timeline arrived at 2021.

Amidst a festive atmosphere of lion and dragon dances.

Gao Qiqiang, looking much older and around fifty, appeared on screen.

His low-key yet tasteful attire, like that of an entrepreneur, showed his impressive status at this time.

He sat down at a banquet in the village's open-air square.

Transfer Group: 371729119

Gao Qiqiang clinked glasses with the elders at the table.

And the Third Uncle sitting beside Gao Qiqiang took the lead, praising him with a gratified smile:

"Ah Qiang... you've really made something of yourself now!"

"Ah Qiang is much better than his father now!"

"Look! This square in our village, and this cultural building, weren't they all funded by Ah Qiang? All of us old folks in the village! We enjoy them every day!"

Facing the praise of several elders, Gao Qiqiang responded with a polite smile:

"This is just a small token of my heart as a younger generation!"

His tone was calm, the smile on his face was kind; he was every bit the polite, successful person.

And at this moment!

All the viewers were stunned in front of their screens!

This... what on earth happened?

Twenty-some years later!

Gao Qiqiang had made it big!

Not only did he fund the village, not forgetting his roots, but his speech and manner had also improved a lot!

Now, if you said Gao Qiqiang used to be a fishmonger, no one would believe you!

But what shocked all the viewers even more!

Was that at the banquet, sitting in the second seat next to the Third Uncle, looking exactly like Gao Qiqiang's lackey... was Tang Xiaolong!

What on earth happened in these twenty years!

While Gao Qiqiang became a prominent entrepreneur, Tang Xiaolong actually ended up following Gao Qiqiang?!
