I was framed for taking the civil service exam, so I joined the National Security Bureau

Probably because of the quarrel with her mother, Xia Qingqing simply parked the battery car in front of a noodle shop on a small street.

This is an old noodle shop located on a small street, and there are many people coming in to eat noodles.

Xia Qingqing went in and ordered a bowl of noodles.

The phone seemed to be out of power, but her charger seemed to have been forgotten in the classroom. She wanted to borrow a charger from the boss to charge it, but was told that the model of the mobile phone charger did not match.

It can be seen that for high school students of her age, it is a very tormenting thing not to look at the phone during the meal.

So Xia Qingqing ate half a bowl of noodles in a somewhat depressed mood.

However, when it came to paying, Xia Qingqing realized that her phone was out of power. Seeing the boss's somewhat unfriendly eyes, Xia Qingqing frowned slightly.

Xia Qingqing actually hated this boss. He knew that her phone was out of battery and she couldn't pay, but he didn't help her borrow a charger. Now he looked like he was just watching the fun. Xia Qingqing really didn't know why this noodle shop could be open for so long.

However, even if her phone was out of battery and she couldn't pay, Xia Qingqing was unwilling to discuss it with the boss. She opened her schoolbag, fumbled inside it, and then took out a wallet.

But she didn't expect that after opening the wallet, Xia Qingqing took out not a RMB, but a US dollar bill.

When Xia Qingqing opened her wallet, Zhang Xing's eyes focused on Xia Qingqing's wallet. Zhang Xing found that there were more than just one US dollar bill in Xia Qingqing's wallet, at least a dozen US dollars, and there were seven or eight US dollars worth 100 yuan.

A student's wallet was not filled with RMB, but all US dollars, and the total value of these US dollars was more than five or six thousand RMB.

Even if someone likes to collect banknotes from all over the world, they won't have too many foreign banknotes in their wallets.

It's obviously a bit abnormal that Xia Qingqing has so many US dollars in her wallet.

Because she was dissatisfied with the boss's attitude, Xia Qingqing's attitude was naturally not good. She took out a ten-dollar US dollar bill and put it in front of the boss with an arrogant and disdainful look.

However, the boss of the noodle shop had never seen US dollars. He glanced at the US dollars in Xia Qingqing's hand and shook his head directly:

"Beauty, I'm sorry, my family only has two payment methods: mobile payment and soft RMB payment. I don't recognize your banknote and I don't know whether it's true or false."

This made Xia Qingqing even more angry, and she said directly:

"Isn't it just a bowl of noodles? Am I the kind of person who can't afford noodles? What's true or false, the face value of my US dollar is ten yuan, which is about the same as 72 soft RMB. I know you can't change it, so I don't bother to bother with you."

The boss shook his head with a wry smile and continued:

"What do you say, then It's your business. The fact is, we only accept mobile phone payments and soft RMB payments, and our family is also a small business. I think you should be a student, so I won't make it difficult for you. If you really don't want to pay, just treat it as a meal for me, but don't ask me for dollars or euros, I only accept soft RMB. "

The boss said this straightforwardly. From his point of view, there is nothing wrong with it. In addition, although the boss's temper has always been bad, he doesn't treat any customer with this attitude. The main reason is that when Xia Qingqing was talking to her mother at the door, the boss heard some of the conversation.

Xia Qingqing not only did not listen to her mother's advice on the phone, but also scolded her mother more severely. It was because of Xia Qingqing's actions that the boss had some opinions about her.

Later, when Xia Qingqing came to him to borrow a mobile phone charger, her tone was also very stiff. In other words, if Xia Qingqing could have spoken to the boss in a requesting tone, even if the boss did not have a suitable charger, he would have asked familiar customers to help find a charger to charge temporarily.

Xia Qingqing became even more angry after hearing what the boss said.

"What do you mean I don't want to pay? Didn't you see that my phone was out of power? I gave you US dollars but you didn't accept them. I've eaten in many restaurants on this street, and I've never had a boss as unreasonable as you. I was blind and went to the wrong restaurant. Don't worry, I will never come to your noodle restaurant to eat noodles again."

After that, Xia Qingqing went to borrow the phone of a boy who was eating noodles next to him and dialed a phone number briefly.

After hanging up, Xia Qingqing said to the noodle shop owner:

"My friend will come to pay for me soon. Don't worry, you won't lose a penny."

After saying that, Xia Qingqing stood at the door of the noodle shop angrily and rummaged in her schoolbag again.After a while, he found a pack of women's cigarettes.

In fact, Xia Qingqing didn't smoke for a long time. She started to smoke in the past two months. She didn't have much addiction to smoking. She just thought smoking was a cool behavior that could bring her a rebellious temperament.

At this moment, Xia Qingqing suddenly took out a cigarette and lit it directly. It was undoubtedly a rebellious behavior. The boss looked at Xia Qingqing like this and shook his head with some disgust.

About ten minutes later, two motorcycles drove towards the noodle shop at high speed, and the huge roar was deafening.

Zhang Xing, who was sitting next to the noodle shop eating snacks, looked up at the owner of the motorcycle. As expected, it was Li Ming and his gang.

Li Ming's two younger brothers were holding baseball bats in their hands, looking like social drifters.

When the noodle shop owner saw Li Ming's figure clearly, his face suddenly changed. When he saw Li Ming and Xia Qingqing holding hands again, his face began to gradually become a little panic.

Obviously, he not only knew Li Ming, but also knew Li Ming's reputation in this area.

Xia Qingqing frowned and talked to Li Ming in detail. Li Ming nodded with a slight sneer on his face, and then, like an older brother, he reached out and gently stroked Xia Qingqing's head.

Then Li Ming smoked a cigarette and walked slowly towards the noodle shop.

"Boss Chen, I haven't been to your noodle shop for a long time. Recently, business seems to be much better."

Li Ming smiled, but stepped on the front of the boiler at the door of the noodle shop.

The noodle shop owner looked a little anxious.

"Thanks to Boss Li."

Li Ming continued with a smile:

"Boss Chen's noodle shop is also a time-honored noodle shop on this street. For a time-honored noodle shop that can be open until now, in addition to the excellent taste of the noodle shop, the noodle shop's service attitude is also first-class."

"A noodle shop with such a good service attitude, is it difficult for the customer just because the customer's mobile phone is out of battery and cannot pay the ten yuan noodle fee for a while?"

When he said the last sentence, Li Ming's face obviously darkened.

This Boss Chen seemed to know Li Ming's background. He was originally very afraid of Li Ming. Now Li Ming suddenly attacked, making him look even more anxious.

"Boss Li, I'm sorry, I don't know the relationship between this girl and you. Besides, I didn't make things difficult for her. I just don't accept US dollars."

Li Ming sneered:

"Ignorance is not a crime. Now I officially inform you, Boss Chen, that the girl you made things difficult for is my new girlfriend. I love her very much. Boss Chen, do you know her now?"

The boss surnamed Chen nodded in fear.

Li Ming took another deep puff of his cigarette and asked gloomily:

"Well, now Boss Chen has also met my girlfriend. Now my girlfriend is very angry because of what happened today. Boss Chen, how do you think this matter should be resolved?"

Although Boss Chen was angry, he knew that Li Ming was not easy to mess with, so he lowered his head slightly and said:

"Boss Li, today's incident is my fault. I am sorry for your girlfriend. Forget about her noodles today."

After saying this, glimpsing Li Ming's more obvious gloomy face, Boss Chen added:

"Oh no, if Boss Li and your girlfriend come to our shop to eat noodles again in the future, we will not charge you."

Li Ming smiled at Boss Chen playfully.

"Boss Chen means that your noodle shop will always be free for the two of us, right?"

Boss Chen nodded vigorously, but Li Ming smiled and shook his head playfully.

"Boss Chen, thank you for your kindness. Although your noodle shop is a time-honored brand, I have never been interested in it. In addition, my girlfriend just told me that this is the last time she will eat noodles at your house in her life, and she will never come to your house to eat noodles again, so your kindness may be in vain."

Boss Chen was slightly startled, and his face instantly showed a fearful and flustered expression.

"Boss Li, then... you tell me, give me a trick to end today's matter, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it."

Li Ming looked at Boss Chen meaningfully, stretched out his hand and waved to Boss Chen again. Boss Chen hesitated for a moment and came to Li Ming's side. Li Ming then whispered a few words in Boss Chen's ear.

After listening, Boss Chen couldn't help but widen his eyes, his face was embarrassed, and his expression was a little angry. He stood there for a long time. Li Ming didn't say anything, but took out a cigarette again and smoked it again.

About a minute later, Boss Chen sighed softly, as if he had made a difficult decision. He slowly walked towards Xia Qingqing on the other side.

Then he lowered his head and humbly said to Xia Qingqing:"Ms. Xia, today's incident is all my fault. I hope you can forgive me and not make things difficult for a small business like us. I solemnly apologize to you here. To show my sincerity, I will slap myself twice. If you are still not satisfied, you can come and hit me."

After saying that, Boss Chen slapped himself twice in the face.

Although Xia Qingqing was angry, she was still a sophomore girl after all. Besides, she didn't want to make a big fuss. After all, more and more people were watching at the door of the noodle shop. So after Boss Chen apologized and slapped himself twice, Xia Qingqing shouted to Li Ming. Li Ming knew that Xia Qingqing was relieved, so he reached out and patted Boss Chen on the shoulder:

"Boss Chen, let's forget about this matter. You performed very well. Don't worry, your business will continue to prosper in the future."

After that, Li Ming half-huggled Xia Qingqing's shoulders and got on the motorcycle. The other two brothers who came with him kicked over the boiler outside the door before leaving, and all the noodles in the boiler were spilled out.

It seemed to be accidental, but it was actually intentional.

These people immediately whistled and rode away from the scene on motorcycles.

Boss Chen's wife was so angry that she cried at the door and said she would call the police.

But in the end, she was grabbed by Boss Chen.

"Why call the police? Don't you think the incident is not serious enough? Even if we call the police, we will suffer in the end."

Boss Chen's wife said angrily:

"Why? It's obviously us who are bullied. Why should we be afraid of them? The country has been cracking down on gangsters and eliminating evil for so many years. Why should we be afraid of them?"

Boss Chen grabbed his wife and let her shout a few times at the door without explaining a word. The crowd around them were all watching the excitement. After Boss Chen comforted his wife, the crowd gradually dispersed.

Zhang Xing watched this scene from beginning to end. Although Boss Chen didn't say anything in the end, Zhang Xing could see from his expression that he seemed to know something.

Although the series of crackdowns on gangs and eliminating evil carried out in the past two years have cleared many social parasites, there are still some at large.

Although on the surface, those social parasites who were once glorious are now packaged as business owners or whitewashed with white business, ordinary people who know them still dare not compete with them.

This is the helplessness of the bottom of society, and this is also the tip of the iceberg hidden at the bottom of society.

Zhang Xing did not rush to track Xia Qingqing and Li Ming, but entered the noodle shop and got some words from the noodle shop owner through chatting.

The fact is just as Zhang Xing guessed. The reason why the noodle shop owner was afraid of Li Ming was mainly because Li Ming used to be a member of the Sanquanhui. The Sanquanhui used to control several streets here. In order to do business well, every store here used to need to make corresponding arrangements with the Sanquanhui from time to time.

Although it is not the so-called protection fee, it is actually not much different from the protection fee. If you don't manage this relationship, your business will be more or less affected.

After the two years of anti-gang and anti-evil operations, although the Sanquanhui no longer exists, Wang Sanquan and Li Ming, as well as many of the former Sanquanhui leaders, have not experienced jail time. They have now changed their identities and become businessmen.

Although there is no need to pay them now, almost everyone in this street who has been operating for many years knows that this group of people should not be provoked.

Because according to Boss Chen, Wang Sanquan, the leader of the Sanquan Society, has a deep connection with a senior official in the city. Otherwise, Wang Sanquan and Li Ming and others would not have been safe and sound during the two or three years of special anti-gang operations, and they are still running legitimate businesses now.

Boss Chen's statement is basically consistent with Zhang Xing's expectations, and Boss Chen also revealed an important information. He had eaten a meal at Louwailou before. During that meal, he had seen Wang Sanquan and a mysterious official walking together.

Boss Chen specifically mentioned that he seemed to have seen this mysterious official on the local TV news, but now he can't remember what his name is.
