Chapter 64
Jia Dongxu rushed out with a kitchen knife, but before he could get to Zhao Xiyan, Captain Chen stepped forward, snatched the knife, grabbed him, and threw him over his shoulder... all in one go.
"Okay, okay, you want to go to jail for stabbing someone with a knife, right?" Director Zhang said with a sullen face.
"Director Zhang, you have to make the decision for us." Jia Zhang secretly threw the stick behind her and cried loudly, "Zhao Xiyan, this little beast, pretended to be a ghost and almost scared Dongxu and me to death."
"Hmm."
Director Zhang thought of Zhao Xiyan's trick just now and couldn't help sighing, "Xiao Zhao, what do you say?"
"Jia Zhang, didn't you summon Lao Jia first?" Zhao Xiyan said calmly, "You are allowed to joke with me, but I am not allowed to joke with you?"
"Joke?"
Everyone was slightly stunned.
Jia Dongxu, whose head was hit by Captain Chen's knee, reacted immediately and said hurriedly, "Yes, yes, my mother was joking with Xiao Zhao..."
"Then what do you want to do with the knife?" Captain Chen scolded.
"I... I was also joking with Xiao Zhao." Jia Dongxu said embarrassedly.
Bang!
Captain Chen kicked him on the butt and scolded, "Jia Dongxu, you are joking with others with a knife?"
"Xiao Zhao..."
Jia Dongxu gritted his teeth and shouted.
He understood Zhao Xiyan's concerns. Whether he summoned his father or Zhao Shan, the dead ghost, they were all promoting feudal superstition.
Once this matter was put on the table, Jia Zhang would have a hard time, and Zhao Xiyan would also have a hard time.
"Jia Dongxu is right, we are indeed joking." Zhao Xiyan chuckled.
"Hmph."
Captain Chen let go of Jia Dongxu and sneered, "Jia Dongxu, did you gather people to gamble in the factory? Is that true?"
"Ah?"
Jia Dongxu was immediately in trouble.
How did this matter get to the Joint Defense Office?
"Is it true?" Captain Chen scolded.
"We were just playing small cards...no money was involved." Jia Dongxu argued.
"Jia Dongxu, you'd better tell the truth." Zhao Xiyan chuckled, "The Joint Defense Office is not far from the steel mill... Captain Chen will know if he asks at the factory."
"Zhao Xiyan..."
Jia Dongxu glared at him with gritted teeth.
"Jia Dongxu, why don't you tell me quickly..." Director Zhang scolded.
"I...we did gamble a little money." Jia Dongxu said with his head down.
"Okay, okay, gathering people to gamble, right?" Captain Chen stretched out his hand and grabbed his collar, angrily scolding, "Come back to the bureau with me..."
"Captain Chen, I was wrong."
Jia Dongxu was scared to death and begged for mercy, "I won't dare to do it again next time, let me go."
"Secretary Zhao, please save Dongxu." Guo Ting said hurriedly.
She finally realized that Zhao Xiyan had a say in the street office and the joint defense office.
"Okay, I'll give you face."
Zhao Xiyan took out a cigarette and handed it to Captain Chen, "Captain Chen, if you take him back, it's nothing more than locking him up for a few days to make him remember..."
"Nonsense, gathering people to gamble is a serious crime." Captain Chen glared.
"Can you talk for a moment?" Zhao Xiyan chuckled.
"Okay."
Captain Chen followed him to the side, and Director Zhang thought about it and followed him.
In the corner.
"Captain Chen, it's useless to arrest him." Zhao Xiyan curled his lips and said, "The factory will not give you evidence that Jia Dongxu gathered people to gamble..."
"Impossible, he is committing a crime." Captain Chen scolded.
"Criminal?"
Zhao Xiyan sighed, "You can ask Director Zhang, my father died of a work-related injury. The factory gave me double compensation and gave me a quota for a replacement position, but it is absolutely impossible to write a work-related injury in the file."
"Huh?"
Captain Chen was slightly stunned.
"Similarly, if you go to the factory to ask, the factory will definitely not say that Jia Dongxu gathered people to gamble... After all, a large factory with more than 10,000 people is managed like this by them. Do you think the leaders have a face?"
Zhao Xiyan's words stunned Captain Chen and Director Zhang.
Many times, everyone thinks that the unit is protecting an individual.
In fact, as long as the name of the unit is attached, it is not the matter of one person if something happens. The unit is sometimes put on the fire and has to do this.
The joint defense office and the street office are actually the same.
"Then what do you think we should do?" Director Zhang asked.
"Fine, sweep the streets."
Zhao Xiyan curled his lips and said, "He did gather people to gamble, but you don't have any evidence... Both sides can accept such a punishment."
"You kid..."
Captain Chen laughed dumbly, "Do you know that neither our joint defense office nor the street office has the power to impose fines."
"Then change the word, donate."
Zhao Xiyan smiled,"Donate 20 yuan, or sweep the streets for half a month and let him choose..."
"Hmm."
Captain Chen and Director Zhang were both stunned.
Donation is not impossible.
Although the city is prosperous, there are many people like Zhao Shan.
This group of people are collectively called "lonely elderly people". They all rely on the support of the street office to prevent them from starving to death.
The good thing about having a city hukou is that the street office will not watch you starve to death. The countryside is a commune system, and everyone relies on work points to get food, but there is no such thing as relief food.
The three returned to the compound.
"Jia Dongxu, I will give you two choices now. Either you donate 20 yuan to the street office and forget about it. Or, you sweep the streets for half a month..."
"I am willing to sweep the streets." Jia Dongxu said immediately.
Fine 20 yuan? What a joke.
If it weren't for the compensation given by the factory when his father died, he would have starved to death if he was fined three months' salary.
"Okay, then you and Yan Jiecheng go to keep him company." Captain Chen sneered.
"Captain Chen, I have an immature suggestion..."
As soon as Zhao Xiyan opened his mouth, Jia Dongxu and Yan Jiecheng's faces changed drastically.
What does this beast want to do?
Yi Zhonghai and others felt a little uneasy.
"You say." Captain Chen said seriously.
"I think that sweeping the streets is just a means, not an end. Punishing them and letting them reform is the main goal." Zhao Xiyan said seriously, "So I suggest that you can only sweep the streets yourself, and you can't let others do it for you..."
"Zhao Xiyan, you are a dog, right?" Jia Dongxu said angrily.
"I haven't finished talking yet, why are you in a hurry?" Zhao Xiyan rolled his eyes and said, "Of course... This is only limited to family members, such as parents and spouses. After all, they haven't made any mistakes, why should they go to sweep the streets?"
"Makes sense."
Captain Chen and Director Zhang agreed deeply.
"But if you pay... For example, ask Shazhu to do it for you, I think there is no problem if he is willing, after all, paying is also a punishment." Zhao Xiyan smiled.
"Fuck you."
Sha Zhu shouted angrily, "Zhao Xiyan, I'm not you, you don't care about your dignity for a little money..."
He is a good young man, if he goes to sweep the streets, it will be so embarrassing.
