The past few days have been relatively uneventful, but it cannot be said that nothing happened.
First of all, the report about Unique's Mid-Autumn Festival donation to the welfare home interviewed by several newspaper reporters was published in the newspaper.
The one who takes advantage of others is soft-handed and the one who eats others is short-tongued.
The reporters all praised Lin Mai for her good deeds, praising her to the highest standards in heaven and earth.
Lin Mai even doubted whether the Mr. Lin described by those reporters was the same person as her.
Chu Bao gave the charity event hosted with Unico a catchy name: Celebrating National Day and Giving Love Activities.
The leaders of the Chu Newspaper attached great importance to this event. They especially took up half of the newspaper's back page to publish the event. They also went out with great fanfare to find 50 poor families throughout the city to receive a charity donation of 100 yuan from Unique.
For a time, the people who came to sign up for Chu News almost trampled on the concrete threshold of the newspaper office.
Some poor families signed up for themselves, and some relatives and friends helped sign up.
Chu News followed up and reported on this charity event, and the sales of the newspaper continued to rise, breaking records.
Niu Lili's leader was so happy that he praised her.
Lin Mai was also very happy.
This charity event also made Unique famous.
In the past, only fashionable young women in Jiangcheng were very familiar with Unique, but now it is a household name.
As long as someone mentions the word Unique, even a sixty-year-old old lady will say that it is the Unique who does charity.
Unique's reputation is great, and its sales are rising to new heights.
Unique was happy from top to bottom.
Secondly, Gao Zhiyuan returned all Seaman clothing to Guan Yonghua on the afternoon of the day he promised Lin Mai to terminate cooperation with Guan Yonghua.
Guan Yonghua had originally asked a newspaper with a circulation that was neither large nor small to write an article to discredit Lin Mai.
She said that she filed a lawsuit with a Hong Kong-funded enterprise just for publicity and to demand compensation.
If she does this, it will affect and destroy the foreign investment environment, and the purpose of her lawsuit is extremely unflattering.
But on the day the article appeared in the newspaper, several authoritative newspapers with large circulation in Jiangcheng published the news that Lin Mai planned to use the money Guan Yonghua compensated her for charity and the remaining 5,000 yuan to continue to do good deeds.
His face was swollen.
The newspaper that helped him smear Lin Mai was shut down for rectification due to false reports.
Guan Yonghua almost died of anger, and now Gao Zhiyuan terminated the contract with him. He was so angry that he almost spit out a mouthful of blood, but Gao Zhiyuan was unable to do anything.
To him, Gao Zhiyuan was just a local snake.
But this powerful dragon like him cannot defeat this local snake like him.
In addition to these two incidents, Zeng Ziqing also called and asked Lin Mai what happened.
The police in Jiangcheng actually commissioned the police in Guangzhou to go to the customs to investigate her. Director Shi and she were both investigated.
Lin Mai was very embarrassed and told Zeng Ziqing that someone had maliciously reported her for speculating and selling smuggled goods.
He also expressed his deep regret for having implicated her and Director Shi in the investigation.
Or I didn’t think well enough.
Since the police want to find out whether the foreign wine and other imported food in her warehouse are smuggled goods, they will definitely go to Guangzhou Customs to investigate.
She should have called Zeng Ziqing in advance and told her so that she and Director Shi could be mentally prepared.
They would not have been confused when the police investigated them.
These days, almost no one is not afraid of the police, prosecutors, and the law, and public officials are even more afraid. I'm afraid Zeng Ziqing and Director Shi will be greatly frightened.
Zeng Ziqing said: "You don't need to apologize, the police didn't do anything to us.
You are just interrogating us about what goods you took at the customs and when you took them.
After asking us, he asked us to leave without being too frightened."
"But I'm still so sorry for you.
I'm not going to be polite to you anymore, please give me a thousand yuan to appease Director Shi."
Although once the National Day is over, Director Shi will no longer be needed due to the customs reform. Logically speaking, it doesn't matter whether he gives this appeasement red envelope or not.
But Lin Mai never does anything like burning bridges across rivers.
Moreover, mountains and rivers meet each other, and I am not kind. If Director Shi needs to be used again in the future, he will not help me anymore.
Zeng Ziqing said hello and asked, "Do you know who maliciously reported you?"
Lin Mai suspected that it was Wang Rong, but it could also be those vendors and dealers doing business on the black market.
After all, the existence of Fuduoduo Market has touched the cake of these people.
Lin Mai said: "I don't know either."
Zeng Ziqing sympathized: "You are really unlucky."
…
The verdict of Rong’s parents and Rong’s mother finally came out.
The court determined that the couple forged Unique vouchers and constituted the crime of forging valuable instruments.
Attempting to instruct others to use fake vouchers constitutes the crime of attempted fraud.
Because of the huge amount of money involved, the bad social impact, and the concurrent punishment for both crimes, the couple were each sentenced to fifteen years in prison.
This news dominated the front pages of all newspapers that day.
This was the first case of counterfeiting and using fake vouchers since the founding of the People's Republic of China, causing quite a stir in the society.
Guan Yonghua didn't want to be implicated, but it was still involved.
Because the couple's statements at the police station stated that they created and instructed them to use fake vouchers, all for the sake of their prospective son-in-law Guan Yonghua.
Although they did not confess, they said that Guan Yonghua tacitly allowed them to do this and also provided them with funds to forge fake vouchers.
However, the common people believed that Guan Yonghua was the instigator behind the whole incident, and Rong's parents were just the ones behind the scenes.
The police just suffered from the lack of evidence of his crime and could not bring him to justice.
This kind of rumor that guesses the truth is spreading more and more fiercely in the market.
Even if Guan Yonghua wanted to refute the rumors, he would not be able to do so.
In his heart he hated Rong's parents for their stupidity.
Isn’t this pair of bitches always destined to be jailed?
Why not say that they were greedy for money, so they forged Unique's fake vouchers in order to cash in and give him a windfall.
Wouldn't it affect him this way?
If you have to say it's for him, doesn't this make people think a lot!
Two days later, the police finally found out that Lin Mai's case of speculation and selling contraband was completely false, and she was cleared.
Wang Wenfang was furious when he heard the news.
Why is it so difficult to kill a little bitch!
At noon on the day when the police tried to clear Lin Mai's innocence, Tao Zhiyun came back with a young woman in her twenties.
Lin Mai was a little strange.
Ask her to go to the movie studio to hire a retired prop master who specializes in designing accessories. How can she bring back a young woman?
It was time for lunch in the factory, and Tao Zhiyun asked Shen Xiaoping to take the young woman to the workshop to have lunch with the workers.
She stayed in Lin Mai's office and explained to her why she brought back a girl.
Lin Mai asked her to go on a business trip that day, and she left for Shanghai the next day.
After arriving in Shanghai, she booked a hotel and rushed to the Shanghai Film Studio.
As a result, because she was a foreigner, the concierge refused to let her in.
Tao Zhiyun quickly stuffed a pack of Yunyan that had been prepared for a few yuan before the concierge let her in.
Finding the head of the HR department was another ordeal.
I gave the red envelope, but the HR section chief looked indifferent.
But fortunately, his character is not bad.
He took people's money, did things for them, and introduced her to several excellent retired prop masters.
But when these outstanding retired prop masters heard that they were going to work in Jiangcheng, they all refused.
Speaking of this, Tao Zhiyun felt extremely aggrieved: "Although we are now far apart from Jiangcheng and Shanghai.
But before liberation, Dajiang City and Greater Shanghai were the only two places in the country that could be called "big".
Those prop masters shouldn’t look down on us in Jiangcheng so much, they won’t even come to work in Jiangcheng~”
Lin Mai waved his hand: "Forget about the bravery of a good man, if you call Jiangcheng 'Dajiang City' now, you will be ridiculed by other cities.
But Big Shanghai is still Big Shanghai, just like his uncle is still his uncle.
If you fall behind and others are still so powerful, they have the right to look down on you.
This is just like top students looking down on bad students. If you want to talk about malicious intentions, they really don't have any ill intentions.
I don’t believe that no matter which city is in trouble, Shanghai will be in trouble on one side, and with support from all directions, it will not be slower than any other city.”
Lin Mai understands this very well, because it was like this in his previous life.
Whichever city needs help, other cities will lend a helping hand.
A big country has many cities.
Just like a mother who has raised a large group of children, she usually has quarrels and even dislikes each other.
But when the critical moment comes, the children of China are definitely one family. All conflicts will be forgotten and we will solve the difficulties together first.
Lin Mai patted Tao Zhiyun on the shoulder: "If you want Shanghai, the proud man of heaven, to think highly of us, you have to work hard!"
Tao Zhiyun nodded heavily, and then continued: "Since we can't hire those excellent retired prop masters, I'm going to go to the Bayi Film Factory to find them.
It was at this time that Meng Dan took the initiative to approach me and said she wanted to work as a designer at Lily Jewelry."
She explained: "Mengdan is the young woman I brought back."
Tao Zhiyun took out many accessories from his bag and placed them on his desk.
Lin Mai took a look and saw that there were all kinds of hairpin rings used in costume dramas, as well as various accessories worn by courtesans in movies of the Republic of China. They were all very exquisite.
Tao Zhiyun said: "These ornaments were all completed by Meng Dan independently.
I think her performance is no worse than those prop masters, so since she wanted to work at Lily Jewelry, I brought her back."
Lin Mai asked in surprise: "Why would she give up her plan and come to Jiangcheng with you? Is there something fishy in this?"
In this era, people attach great importance to organization.
Having an establishment means having a formal job. Even if the unit's performance is not good, you can still hold your head high when you go out.
Not having a job means that there is no formal job, but a temporary job, and you will be half a head shorter than a regular job.
Even on a blind date, the party is the one being picked on.
Therefore, almost no one will lose their official position and come to work in private enterprises.
Only Lin Mai would find it strange and become wary.
"Hey! You're the only one with such a big heart!" Tao Zhiyun rolled his eyes at Lin Mai speechlessly.
After talking for a long time, she felt thirsty. She poured herself a cup of tea and continued:
"Ren Mengdan has no establishment and does the hardest work in the unit, earning the lowest wage.
The props artist still had to pay for the accessories she designed, and she had long since stopped wanting to do it.
Hearing that my salary was high and my treatment was not bad, I resigned and came to Jiangcheng with me."
Lin Mai nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, I will give you three days' leave starting from tomorrow.
After Meng Dan finishes her lunch, you can just hand her over to Factory Director Ren."
She was very busy. Zeng Ziqing bought the goods for her from the customs. The train station had just called to pick them up. After lunch, she was going to pick them up.
