At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Hai's pager rang.
Liuyuan County's local phone number, the person calling him was naturally Sun Jinzhong.
After returning a phone call, the two made an appointment to meet in a small restaurant near Liuyuan No. 1 Middle School. Within a few minutes, Sun Jinzhong had already appeared in Chen Hai's eyes.
Apparently, he was inquiring about information and finally reached the school.
They have been busy since noon, and both of them are a little hungry.
I ordered two side dishes and a bottle of beer, and the two of them chatted while eating.
"Old cousin, you said you came to the school gate to see how the situation is? Are you sure it can be solved?"
Before the food was served, Sun Jinzhong took the bottle of beer and bit open the cap with a 'click' sound.
After giving Chen Hai a full glass, he also poured a glass himself.
The Lizhou beer produced in the neighboring county has an average taste and is a bit bitter.
However, on this hot day, with the temperature in the 30s and 40s in the afternoon, Chen Hai felt much cooler after drinking a glass of cold beer.
"I looked at the main gate of Liuyuan No. 1 Middle School all afternoon and saw nothing unusual!"
"After it gets dark, I'll go over there and take a closer look to see if I can find anything!"
"What about you? What's the situation? Is the 20,000 yuan information consulting fee true?"
Chen Hai asked. As he spoke, he picked up the wine bottle and refilled the empty glass in front of him.
One drink for myself, one for Sun Jinzhong, and one bottle of beer, just like that!
"Old cousin, when did you learn how to drink? I thought you didn't drink this stuff!"
Seeing this, Sun Jinzhong chuckled and waved to the restaurant owner, asking him to bring him two more bottles of beer.
"This stuff doesn't taste good. It's mainly because my mouth is dry. I only drank two cups."
"On such a hot day, I walked around the door of No. 1 Middle School all afternoon under the sun, and my throat almost started to smoke!"
Chen Hai smiled and explained.
He is now addicted to smoking, but he has never been too cold about drinking.
Sun Jinzhong continued to order beer, but he did not stop him. Anyway, he had already agreed that Sun Jinzhong would pay for the meal.
Chen Hai himself has a limited capacity for drinking, but his cousin has a wine barrel.
More than once, he boasted in front of Chen Hai that he could drink a piece of beer.
I just ordered two more bottles of beer. No matter what, there is no way it will be wasted!
"Old cousin, let me tell you, the 20,000 yuan information consulting fee is indeed true!"
"After I found my poker friend and confirmed the news, I went to No. 1 Middle School and found Director Tao who was in charge of this matter."
"That person said that we want to take on this job. As long as we can confirm that the school gate matter has been successfully resolved, the information consultation fee will definitely be given to us!"
"It's just that the fee is not 20,000, but 10,000."
"In addition, when we tell others about this, we say that we got 20,000 yuan, and the receipt he issued is also the number of 20,000 yuan!"
"When I first found Director Tao, he ignored me at all."
"We were handing him cigarettes and pretending to be grandsons in front of him. However, your cousin and I tried our best to find out these things from Director Tao!"
Speaking of Director Tao, Sun Jinzhong was obviously unhappy.
He picked up the wine glass in front of him, took another sip, and drank all the beer inside.
Of the 20,000 yuan in information consulting fees, after they accomplished the task, why were only 10,000 yuan given to them?
Sun Jinzhong did not say the specific reason, but anyone with some emotional intelligence should be able to guess the reason.
"Ten thousand is just ten thousand, it's not a lot!"
"But whether I can solve this matter or not, I have to wait and see what happens tonight!"
After sighing, Chen Hai responded.
The general environment was like this, so he could still understand what his cousin Sun Jinzhong said.
"Well! You can check the situation tonight. If it can be solved, we will take over this job."
"But before we officially start working, we have to meet with Director Tao first."
"That person said that it is impossible to believe that we have the ability to solve this matter just because of my words."
"Only after you prove your true ability in front of him and gain his approval, will he ask someone to cooperate with us to handle this matter!"
Nodding, Sun Jinzhong paused slightly and continued.
The request made by Director Tao is not excessive.
By doing this, he can also avoid some people who are just trying to make a fool of themselves and mess around in front of the main gate.
The two side dishes ordered were quickly brought to the table.
Consider that there is still something to do in the evening.
Neither Chen Hai nor Sun Jinzhong drank much wine. They just drank all the two bottles of beer ordered from behind.
One meal lasted for more than an hour.
During this season, the days are relatively long, and at six or seven o'clock in the evening, night has just fallen.
Seeing that it was still early, under the leadership of Sun Jinzhong, the two found an open-air billiards room nearby and played there for a while.
It wasn't until around 9 p.m. that the two men reappeared near the gate of No. 1 Middle School.
In this era, the nights in small county towns are really restless.
The location where Liuyuan No. 1 Middle School is located is relatively remote, especially the area near the gate and close to Yuanjiang, which is prone to breed some evil things.
Chen Hai, Sun Jinzhong and others were on their way to the gate of Liuyuan No. 1 Middle School when they saw a young couple walking by the river surrounded by six or seven street gangsters. Something bad was happening.
Chen Hai didn't care about such noisy matters.
In such a big era, the streets are full of unemployed young people, and there are too many similar things happening.
He is not the Holy Mother, he is just a little Taoist priest with some ability. It is not his responsibility at all to restore stability and prosperity to society.
As for Sun Jinzhong, he would not meddle in such nosy matters.
When he just passed by there, there seemed to be a guy among the gang of thugs who were looting, and he waved to him and said hello.
"Do you know those people?"
"I know the guy nicknamed Gouzi. He was my junior high school classmate."
"It won't be good for you to have less contact with them!"
"Don't worry, cousin, I do things in a measured way. If my buddies ask me to help fight, I may go, but if they want to ask me to do something illegal, I will definitely refuse!"
…
In a remote corner opposite the gate of No. 1 Middle School, two cousins each found a brick and sat down on it.
Chen Hai looked dissatisfied and lectured Sun Jinzhong a few words.
Although he is the elder brother and Chen Hai is the younger brother, Sun Jinzhong is not dissatisfied with Chen Hai talking about him, he just giggles.
"Just know what's appropriate. I'm going to do something. Just watch it from here. Remember, don't touch me blindly!"
After saying hello to Sun Jinzhong, Chen Hai sat cross-legged, eyes slightly closed, and prepared to leave his body.
