After the breakup, I joined the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection

Chapter 134 It’s almost done

"A college student? That's amazing!"

"Which university did you go to? Where are you working now?"

"College students today are no better than they used to be, when they could become government officials after graduating."

"But now it's no longer possible to be a state official. Now you have to have money in your pocket!"

After Lu An got in the car, he heard Brother Qiang chatting about random things. Lu An then learned that Brother Qiang's name was Zhao Shiqiang, and he made his fortune by reselling titanium dioxide with the help of his cousin who worked at the Pingjiang Titanium Dioxide Factory.

Lu An lowered his head to look at the humid water stains on the floor of the car. It seemed that this Brother Qiang had put a lot of effort into performing well in front of Li Wenjuan.

"But didn't the country abolish the dual-track pricing system a few years ago? Can you still get titanium dioxide at a low price?" Lu An asked.

Zhao Shiqiang clicked his tongue twice, "As expected of a college student, he even knows about the dual-track pricing system. But don't talk about dual-track or not. If I hadn't brought it to the provincial capital to sell, his titanium dioxide factory wouldn't even be able to pay the wages!"

Zhao Shiqiang said complacently: "He has hundreds of factory workers who rely on me for their livelihood. What's wrong with giving me a low price?"

Indeed, state-owned enterprises these days all have this problem and have no concept of proactive sales.

Zhao Shiqiang became more and more excited as he spoke: "These days, only those with money can be the masters. Without money, you can't move an inch. If I hadn't bought a car, you wouldn't even be able to go back to your hometown in Pingjiang!"

"What's the point of you college graduates earning a salary of just over 100 yuan a month? In my uncle's factory, more than a dozen college students were assigned here this year. Now the factory is having trouble paying their salaries, and they are all starving and crying, begging to come out with me to run business."

"Times have changed a long time ago! Not to mention you college students, even the county magistrate, county party secretary and other county leaders would call me Boss Zhao when they see me!"

Lu An smiled and shook his head. He could only say that Zhao Shiqiang was indeed a man who traveled everywhere. He was really bold in boasting.

However, Li Wenjuan was quite surprised: "Brother Qiang, you are so powerful? Do you even know the county leaders? My father works at the county literary association, and he has only met the leaders a few times in his life!"

Zhao Shiqiang shook his head proudly: "That's nothing, he's just a county magistrate. I just had lunch with the provincial officials at noon!"

Zhao Shiqiang also said: "Brother Qiang is not bragging to you. If you, Brother Qiang, were not so low-key, I would have sent a police car to pick me up and clear the way for me with just one phone call. The county magistrate and secretary would have come to pick me up in person!"

Zhao Shiqiang patted his chest and said that he was rich, so these officials had to revolve around him.

Li Wenjuan also admired Zhao Shiqiang even more, and advised Lu An to just follow Zhao Shiqiang.

Zhao Shiqiang also said: "Yes, I won't treat you unfairly if you follow me. For Wen Juan's sake, I will give you a salary of 300 yuan!"

Lu An really didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. What a guy, did you take it seriously?

But now I'm riding in someone else's car, so I have to give him some face.

So Lu An said that if he needed anything in the future, he would definitely come to Brother Qiang first.

I swear to God, what Lu An said was the most respectful thing he could do to you without breaking your promise, but Zhao Shiqiang was obviously not satisfied.

"You college students are just trying to save face but end up suffering!"

"I just told you that so many college students in my uncle's factory cried and begged to follow me, but I ignored them. Now I am willing to take you with me and give you a salary of 300 yuan. I am already doing this for Wenjuan's sake!"

"What a thing, I'll need it later, but if you miss this opportunity, you'll never find it again!"

Lu An was helpless.

If possible, Lu An really wanted to persuade him to stop there. It's okay to deceive your brothers, but just don't deceive yourself.

At this time, Li Wenjuan suddenly said, "Huh? Brother Qiang, what you said is true. There really is a police car ahead to clear the way for you!"

Lu An and Zhao Shiqiang looked up and saw police lights flashing at the end of the road. There were more than a dozen policemen setting up checkpoints on the road.

"Fuck! These damn vampires!"

Zhao Shiqiang blurted out and slammed the steering wheel hard, causing the van's horn to wail.

Since finances were tight in various places at that time, setting up checkpoints and imposing fines became a means for many local police forces to "generate revenue."

They will stop your vehicle and check it carefully, and then find a reason to fine you.

It was obvious that this was not the first time Zhao Shiqiang had encountered this, which was why he was so cynical.

"These bastards, wearing uniforms but doing nothing all day, just know how to bully ordinary people. It's not that easy for me to make a little money!" Zhao Shiqiang was indignant.

The police came over and knocked on the car window with their batons, asking what was going on: "Do you have any opinions about our law enforcement?"

Zhao Shiqiang quickly rolled down the window, with a bright smile on his face: "Comrade, I just accidentally touched the horn. I fully support the county's law enforcement actions. It is because of your active law enforcement that we have a good security environment!"

Zhao Shiqiang is obviously a man who can change his face.

But the police obviously did not intend to let Zhao Shiqiang go, and just asked him to pull over.

Zhao Shiqiang had a bitter face, but he had no choice but to do as he was told.

"Comrade, please smoke. I am Zhao Shiqiang. Manager Xia of the titanium dioxide factory is my uncle. Your captain Chen and I are old acquaintances. We even had dinner together yesterday. Please be flexible..."

I saw Zhao Shiqiang fawning and trying to please the police one by one, giving cigarettes and saying nice things to them. I even saw Zhao Shiqiang stuffing a few Big Unity cards into the pockets of some captain who was leading the group.

Li Wenjuan tugged at Lu An's collar from behind and said, "Was he just bragging about what he said in the car? I don't think he looks like someone who can know the county magistrate or the secretary."

Are you just reacting now?

After all, this ride was also thanks to Li Wenjuan's relationship, so Lu An warned her: "Never trust other people's one-sided words in the future, because people can lie!"

This is all that can be said. As for whether Li Wenjuan can listen and do it, that is not something Lu An can control.

The police over there searched Zhao Shiqiang's van but found nothing, so they turned their attention to Lu An.

"Over there, what's in your bag? Open it and show us."

A fat man in a big hat strode over and reached out to take the briefcase from Lu An's hand.

Lu An subconsciously hid for a moment, then explained: "Comrade, there is no need to read this. I'm telling you that my name is Lu An, I'm from Lugang Village, Linhe Town, and I'm a college student. I promise I won't do anything illegal or disorderly."

Originally, the fat policeman was just asking a routine question, after all, the captain had already taken the money.

Unexpectedly, Lu An's hiding made his eyes light up, and he hurriedly shouted: "I think you must have illegal items in here, open it and check it immediately. If it is confirmed that there are illegal items, we will confiscate and fine you according to the law!"

Zhao Shiqiang, who was standing behind him, was also jumping up and down and cursing: "What's wrong with you? If the police want to investigate, you should just open it and show it to them. Why are you pretending to be so high and mighty?"

Zhao Shiqiang also hurriedly distanced himself from the matter: "Leader, I don't know this person. If you want to arrest someone, just arrest him. I have nothing to do with him!"

Several policemen surrounded Lu An, and the fat policeman in the lead swung his baton a few times: "I order you to open your briefcase immediately and let me check it!"
