After leaving Aunt Lai's house, Xu Xiuxiu sent Xu Jingjing back ho and planned to head to the city herself. When Xu Jingjing learned of this, she wanted to follow, "Big sister, let co with you. I can help you fight the bad guys and won't hold you back at all." Xu Jingjing said, clenching her teeth and making a fist.
This deep-seated grudge from a broken head, Xu Jingjing would rember it for a lifeti. This girl had a clear sense of love and hate.
"Jingjing, you stay at ho and take care of Cheng Guang for Big Sister, and maybe cook als for your brother-in-law three tis a day, okay? I trust no one else with this task. The people targeting are from our own troop. I can't stop worrying about Cheng Guang, and I can only resolve my concerns by entrusting his safety to you. Can you do this for Big Sister?" Xu Xiuxiu stepped forward, seriously gripping Xu Jingjing's shoulders, giving her a significant look.
Xu Jingjing, always impulsive by nature, was typically hard to calm down, but the more Xu Xiuxiu interacted with her, the more she knew how to make this girl settle down.
Originally excited, Xu Jingjing looked at Xu Xiuxiu, but upon hearing her sister say that she trusted no one else, she was instantly filled with a sense of trust; after a long mont, the young girl bit her red lips and gave Xu Xiuxiu a resolute look, "Big sister, go ahead without worry! I'll take good care of Cheng Guang and ensure not even a hair on his head is hard."
"Good, now I'm relieved," Xu Xiuxiu said excitedly, nodding her head before turning around and leaving without hesitation.
Xu Jingjing, still uneasy, followed her for a few steps and then clenched her fists and bit her teeth as she went back ho alone, as her Big Sister had entrusted her with a significant responsibility—to take good care of Cheng Guang and not to hold her back.
…
Xu Xiuxiu staggered by vehicle from the troop to the city, first took so ti to visit Sichuan Pavilion. Seeing that, although the staff was nervous, the business was still strictly operational, she felt sowhat relieved and then asked Su Juan and Cai Qiufen for basic information about the business inspectors who visited yesterday, preparing to catch them off guard and target them precisely.
Xu Xiuxiu was examining the list given to her by Su Juan, realizing it mostly contained key figures from the Business Bureau. She was speechless, not expecting that so many high-level officials were used against her modest Sichuan Pavilion? It really took quite an effort! Thinking of this, Xu Xiuxiu smirked coldly.
Previously, given the face of Song Yuanhuan, these Bureau officials were quite courteous during inspections. No one anticipated that suddenly they would all show their true colors, so Xu Xiuxiu had so understanding of these people. She specifically researched these officials' roles and titles and determined that most likely Deputy Director Yu Rongye was the one leading this, who had clashed with Xu Jingjing. After that, Xu Xiuxiu thodically put away the list.
She hailed a rickshaw and had been staking out the Business Bureau from noon. When Yu Rongye left the office in the evening, Xu Xiuxiu quietly followed her, tailing her all the way ho.
After work, Yu Rongye took a detour to a nearby vegetable market, hurriedly bought so groceries, and rushed ho. Judging by the number of people who greeted her, it seed that Yu Rongye had a good relationship with her neighbors, and she wore a gentle smile on her face.
She was competent during the day, but humble and polite at ho—a stark contrast. Xu Xiuxiu followed her all the way until she obtained the basic address of Yu Rongye's ho. Then, Xu Xiuxiu took a tricycle to a small restaurant nearby, dismissed the tricycle driver, and entered the small restaurant to order several dishes, enjoying a hearty dinner.
After dinner, it was already past five o'clock. As it was early spring, it got dark quickly. Although the weather was still a bit chilly, a dim yellow light shone at the doorway of almost every elderly person's house in the small lane where Yu Rongye lived. Several elders, as if they had agreed in advance, sat together playing chess or card gas animatedly. Yоur suppоrt оn М|V|L8ЕМРYR kееps this sеriеs gоing.
"Excuse , gentlen, for disturbing your leisure ti, but I have so questions I'd like to ask you," Xu Xiuxiu approached the group playing cards, after watching those playing chess for a mont.
True gentlen say nothing when observing a chess ga; those playing chess generally dislike disruptions. Therefore, Xu Xiuxiu, without hesitation, approached the card players—perhaps they'd be easier to converse with!
"..." The elders, lively a mont ago playing cards, all fell silent and stared at Xu Xiuxiu for a while, making her almost nervous.
"What do you want to inquire about, young lady?" The elder sitting opposite Xu Xiuxiu continued studying his fan-shaped hand of playing cards but looked up at Xu Xiuxiu.
"I actually want to ask about Deputy Director Yu, who works at the Bureau of Industry and Comrce," Xu Xiuxiu put on a helpless face. "My husband is planning to open a small restaurant in the city, but sohow we can't get the business license issued. Our place is all set up, and we've even secretly given red envelopes there several tis, but those have sunk without any results. Soone hinted to us that Deputy Director Yu is holding back our license and advised us to 'motivate' her privately. My husband and I are greenhorns in this area; we just want to run a legitimate small business, but being stuck like this isn't right, is it? I ca to ask the neighbors living nearby, why won't she approve our license? If I am to give her sothing useful, what would be appropriate? Does Deputy Director Yu have any elderly family mbers or children, what kind of gifts would be suitable? Please advise , elders!" Xu Xiuxiu revealed her purpose in a troubled manner.
To Xu Xiuxiu's explanation, the elders showed expressions of 'as expected.'
"That's simple. People like you, whose licenses are stuck, are not few. Tomorrow, give that Yu Rongye a big red envelope, and I'm sure the business license will co through the next day," the elder beside Xu Xiuxiu spoke, suggesting that Xu Xiuxiu wasn't the first to co asking discreetly, hence the elders didn't hold back their comnts.
"Is that so?" Xu Xiuxiu looked worried and unsure. "Please give so sincere advice, elders! I've already waited too long for this business license, and I'm really anxious!"
"Sure, why not! If you're really worried, let give you another tip. You can buy so foods suitable for patients and deliver them to her, ensuring Deputy Director Yu treats you courteously," the elders said, sharing knowing glances among themselves. "I play a pair of sixes; do you want a pair of kings?" the elder opposite Xu Xiuxiu quickly threw his cards after speaking, responding to another elder's played pair of sixes.
