PFC Chapter 362: Rotten from Top to Bottom
Chapter 362: Rotten from Top to Bottom
Three days later, before Zhao Xiaojing found time to visit Dong Mei, Dong Mei called her herself.
Due to sufficient evidence and Zhou Jianye's family confessing under intimidation, the result of the matter came out quickly.
Zhou Jianye was found to have used the bank cards of his father, mother and sister to receive a total of nearly two million yuan in funds of unknown origin during the past seven years. Even the property under Zheng Zihui's name was bought by Zhou Jianye in the name of "sister's sponsorship", with half of it paid for by "sister's money".
When the matter was exposed, Zhou Jianye refused to admit it. However, with the full cooperation of Zhou Jianye's boss and employees, the several bosses and persons in charge who had bribed were thoroughly investigated.
In the end, Zhou Jianye was sentenced to nine years in prison. In addition to the confiscation of his property, he also had to pay a fine of 3 million yuan. Several bribers were also sentenced to prison or fined according to the severity of their crimes.
"3. Now Zhou Jianye's whole family will have to pay for him. His mother called me yesterday and asked me to help her a little out of our friendship. If that doesn't work, she would ask me to return the 8. Humph, out of kindness. If they had even a penny of kindness towards me, they wouldn't have the face to call me." Dong Mei said sarcastically.
"Yes, if they had any feelings for you, they wouldn't have used you for so many years. They obviously have a lot of money in their hands but they still ask you for money. Third Aunt, they will definitely come to you again, so don't be soft-hearted."
"Don't worry, I'm not crazy. She just came to my workplace this morning, and I scolded her and had the security guard chase her away. She also called me heartless and said that the house in Yucheng was already being sold there. Haha, when I heard that, I asked her if she had known about this and had known that woman for a long time. She looked guilty and didn't dare to say a word.
It turns out that they knew all this shit and helped cover it up! I am so stupid. I knew that their family was disgusting, but I was deceived for so many years!"
Zhao Xiaojing also felt uncomfortable. "Their family is really rotten from top to bottom."
"I've suffered all my life, but it's not a big deal. I just feel sorry for Yanyan and Hanhan. Yanyan won't be able to find a job in a state-owned enterprise in the future. When Hanhan grows up, she will have a grandfather with a criminal record, which will be affected to some extent."
"We can talk about the future later. Sister Yanyan probably doesn't care about these things. Hanhan is still young and has a lot of paths to go in the future." Zhao Xiaojing comforted.
"You have a good personality, just like your mother. This time it's all thanks to you. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have been deceived by this disgusting family for the rest of my life."
"I just saw it by chance, it's nothing."
"No matter what, it's because you care about me that I've been worried about for years." Dong Mei sighed, "I guess they will come again. Yanyan has bought me a camera. I will install it on the door and I won't open the door. If they dare to make trouble, I will call the police."
"You should also take care of your health. I heard from Sister Yanyan that you couldn't move half of your body a few days ago. Are you still feeling uncomfortable now?"
"At that time, I thought I was going to die. Yanyan was calling for an ambulance, and I was ready to make arrangements for my funeral. But I didn't expect that I would get better after a while, and now I'm fine. I was thinking whether I should go for a check-up, after all, your grandmother also died of a sudden heart attack at that time."
"If you are worried, just ask your uncle to come along. You are all old, so you should have a thorough heart check-up." Zhao Xiaojing estimated the time. Dong Mei was about to retire this year, and the time for her uncle to have a heart attack was approaching.
Although her uncle was cowardly and Zhao Xiaojing no longer considered him a relative, he was not an enemy either, so a reminder or two would not mean much.
"Yes, yes, your uncle is not in good health either, so you can ask him to come along when the time comes."
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Xiaojing was sitting on the sofa thinking about this matter. The sound of keys turning came from the door, and then Su Yuchen came in with a guitar on his back.
"Why did you come back so early?" they both asked at the same time.
"I didn't have a midnight snack today. I just came back after rehearsal." Su Yuchen chuckled. "Are you selling fast again tonight?"
"Yes, we increase the stock every day, but it's not enough every day. Didn't the organizer say he wanted to talk to you? How did the talk go?"
Su Yuchen and her band's performance at the Life House on Saturday was very successful. Although they only sang two songs during the intermission of the main band, the performance was unexpectedly good. Not only did the audience keep shouting for an encore, but the organizer also contacted several people afterwards, hoping to have long-term cooperation with them.
"The talks went well. Uncle Wen asked someone to help us get on stage this time. Our free performance is considered as publicity. From next time on, the organizer will help us make connections, and we will be paid if we go on stage again. They said that after we accumulate a certain amount of popularity and fans, we can hold our own solo performances." Su Yuchen leaned back on the sofa beautifully.
"That's great. When you have your special show, we will just close the store and all go to listen to you sing." Zhao Xiaojing also leaned back on the sofa.
"Haha, then Ouyang will have to post on WeChat Moments to promote it, and then a lot of people will ask her to be a waitress again."
"By the way, do you have anything to do tomorrow?" The two chatted and laughed for a while, and then Zhao Xiaojing thought about the business.
"It's okay, what are you doing?"
"Then let's go to Fish City. I'll watch them practice for a while in the morning. When you wake up, come find me and we'll set off!"
"Go to Yucheng? Why do you want to do whatever you want? Are you going to give up your business?"
"The store is closed tomorrow, you hardworking guy. What a waste of business." Zhao Xiaojing tapped Su Yuchen's head, "Let's go to Yucheng for dinner!"
"Eat? Jiang Cheng can't eat?" Su Yuchen became more and more confused as he listened.
"I want to try Brother Nie's dish. I checked and found out there's none in Jiangcheng. There's plenty in Yucheng, and it's not far away anyway."
In the past two days, Zhao Xiaojing has been practicing Song Sao Fish Soup and Fairy Duck very hard. Nie Xiuqi has also been following her instructions and correcting her from time to time. Now Zhao Xiaojing's Song Sao Fish Soup is much better than the Fairy Duck. At least it is a soup, not a stewed fish that is meant to avenge the death of the fish.
However, Nie Xiuqi himself said that this dish did not capture the essence and always felt that it was not right. Zhao Xiaojing herself had never eaten it and had no idea what this dish should taste like.
So I came up with the idea of going out to try it while the store was closed.
However, Song Sao's fish soup is a Zhejiang dish. Sichuan and Hunan cuisines are the most popular in Jiangcheng. Other cuisines are somewhat unsuitable for the local environment. They are either changed beyond recognition or rely solely on sentiment. Master Cai of Gu Shifu's restaurant specializes in Zhejiang cuisine. I'm afraid he resigned for this reason, so Jiangcheng didn't find a suitable place.
"I think you are also a pure foodie, but you hide it very well!" Su Yuchen agreed while complaining.
