Chapter 141 : Shen Zheng’s Connections

Li Zhongxun snorted, “I don’t know who it is, but he was indifferent to marrying a wife before, and now he knows how to marry one?”

Shen Zheng replied, “So, it was right not to marry her before, otherwise I would never have met Xiaoluo.”

Due to Li Zhongxun’s instructions, Shen Zheng did not get off the car when he arrived at Honghe Village, but instead went to Jiangcheng first.

He got off at the bus station and happened to see Fang Xiaoluo holding an umbrella.

Shen Zheng was delighted and quickly ran over, “Xiaoluo!”

Fang Xiaoluo turned her head, and through the rain, Shen Zheng’s handsome face was still as clear as ever.

The moment she saw Shen Zheng, she felt much better.

“Didn’t you say you were going to Honghe Village? Why are you here?” Fang Xiaoluo asked, taking out a handkerchief and wiping the rain off Shen Zheng’s face.

Shen Zheng told her about Li Zhongxun’s situation. “I was thinking of going to find Wei Yan first, then coming back to find you. How are things? Did you get any results from asking the Education Bureau?”

Fang Xiaoluo nodded, “There’s a result. Let’s talk as we go to the furniture factory.”

After they got into the car, Fang Xiaoluo whispered, “It’s in their records that I was admitted to Kyoto Normal University last year, but now I can’t find the admission letter. I stopped by the post office, and they said it’s been a year, and they can’t find the original.”

From Fang Xiaoluo’s perspective, they simply didn’t want to find it.

Shen Zheng said, “Let’s go to the furniture factory first, and then we’ll go to the Municipal Public Security Bureau to report the case.”

Fang Xiaoluo suggested, “Why don’t we go to the police station?”

Shen Zheng was furious upon hearing this. Everyone knows the value of an undergraduate admission letter.

It was like ruining Fang Xiaoluo’s future.

He suppressed his anger and said, “We know someone at the Municipal Public Security Bureau. Let’s go through the back door.”

The Anju Furniture Factory was a bit far away, and light rain was falling outside the car window. By the time they got off the car and arrived at the entrance of the factory, the rain had almost stopped, though the sky was still gloomy.

There were quite a few cars going in and out of the factory gate. As they walked in, they could hear the buzzing sound of machines inside, it was clear that Wei Yan’s business was doing well.

This was the first time Fang Xiaoluo and Shen Zheng visited Wei Yan’s factory. In fact, the factory wasn’t large, but it had a thriving atmosphere.

At the factory gate, someone stopped them.

“What’s up, you two?”

Fang Xiaoluo said, “Is the factory manager here? We have a business deal to discuss with him.”

“Please wait a moment.” The man hurriedly ran inside. After a while, he came back out and welcomed them in.

As they walked through the factory, they passed the office area at the back. The sign for the factory director’s office fluttered in the wind.

The door was open, and Wei Yan was still on the phone with someone.

He looked up, his eyes lit up, and he quickly said a few words before hanging up the phone.

“What a rare guest,” Wei Yan said, quickly walking over to greet them. “Xiaoluo, Captain Shen, what brings you here today?”

Shen Zheng smiled and said, “Didn’t I just say that we should talk about business?”

Wei Yan quickly asked them to sit down, poured them some water, and asked someone to cut some fruit and bring melon seeds. He was very enthusiastic.

“Just now the workers said someone came to discuss business, and I thought I didn’t know them.” Wei Yan placed the water on the coffee table. “Don’t tease me, just tell me what you want, what business you’re discussing, and gifts.”

Fang Xiaoluo smiled and said, “We are not outsiders, so please stop being formal.”

Wei Yan sat down and said, “It’s been a while since we last met. It seems like you two are living a good life after marriage.”

“Oh, by the way, now that you’re here, don’t leave yet. It’s almost time for dinner. Let me tell you, Dongfeng Hotel has recently introduced a new cuisine that tastes incredible. You came late today, and they offer three tables of high-end cuisine every day, which needs to be booked in advance. We won’t be able to eat now. Wait until next time, next time I’ll book earlier, and we can go try it.”

Fang Xiaoluo naturally knew about this. Tang Jingxian is indeed a savvy businessman.

In addition to the daily dishes Fang Qiang delivered, Tang Jingxian introduced ten high-end fine dishes, with ten dishes on each table, priced at 128 yuan.

Many people said it was expensive, but after some tried it, word quickly spread about how delicious the food was.

Those who could afford it started reserving three tables in advance, and it was said that reservations were now being accepted a week in advance.

Many people wanted to try it, but the price was so high that some could only afford one dish. The number of dishes ordered was limited every day, so if you came late, you wouldn’t get a table.

Fang Xiaoluo said, “We don’t have time to eat today. We’re in a hurry to go home. We’ll treat you another day.”

Shen Zheng also said, “We’re here today to discuss business, but it’s not with us. Our division is going to do something, and I’m here as a matchmaker. If you’re interested, I’ll leave you a contact number, and you can reach out to the person in charge of our division to discuss it. No need for gifts, and you can negotiate the price.”

When Wei Yan heard this, he stood up excitedly. You know, not everyone can join this endeavor.

“Thank you, thank you so much. As long as we can do it, I’ll do it well, and the price will definitely be favorable.”

As Wei Yan spoke, he also wrote down his factory’s phone number and address and gave them to Shen Zheng.

Once all the words were exchanged, Wei Yan insisted on driving them out and insisted on treating them to a meal.

Shen Zheng said, “We’re not sure if this will work or not.”

Wei Yan said as he drove, “It’s not that I’m incompetent, but I should be grateful that you guys are building this bridge for me.”

After a busy period, when Wei Yan arrived at the gate of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, it was almost time to get off work.

“Can we still get anything done here now? Why don’t we eat first?”

Shen Zheng said, “It’s okay, I just came to see an acquaintance, he shouldn’t have left yet.”

“Okay, if you have any issues in the future, just call me. I’m always available,” Wei Yan said.

After Shen Zheng brought Fang Xiaoluo in, they registered at the door.

Shen Zheng directly asked to see Director Gao of the Municipal Public Security Bureau and gave his name.

The person inside made a phone call and asked Shen Zheng to go up directly.

Fang Xiaoluo gave Shen Zheng a thumbs up, “You really do have connections. Why haven’t I heard you mention this before?”

Shen Zheng explained, “This Chief Gao was the instructor of the battalion I served in when I first joined the army. Later, he was transferred to the police. Frankly speaking, I think we had reason and evidence for the previous incident, and both the police station and the court would definitely give us justice. But this time is different. We don’t have evidence, and we must get to the bottom of it. This is a major event that could ruin a person’s life.”
