Chapter 1627: A brilliant reputation!
Translator: Legge Editor: Legge
In a group chat.
Many of the deadbeats in here knew each other personally.
“Old Hu, did sothing happen to your cell phone’s incoming ringtone?”
“It got changed by the Supre Court!”
“Old Qi, how about you?”
“Mine too!”
“Will it stop if we turn off our phones?”
“It doesn’t work that way; I’ve already tried it. Even after turning the phone off, people can still hear the Supre Court’s ssage when they call in. Only after that will it say that the phone has been turned off!”
“Can we cancel the number then?”
“That doesn’t work either. Moreover, all the cell phone numbers, including our ho landlines, have had their incoming ringtone changed by the Supre Court via the telecommunications companies!”
“How fucking devious!”
“Aren’t they being too shaless by doing this!”
“Who the hell ca up with such a rotten idea!”
“The business deal that I successfully negotiated has fallen through because of it! It’s worth over tens of millions of yuan!”
“What’s the big deal about that! I lost my fiancée because of it!”
“They’re totally out to get us this ti!”
“When did the Supre Court start behaving in such troublemaking ways!”
“W-What tis do we live in! Even a governnt organization has started behaving like the mob!”
There was a wave of scolding in the group chat. Many of the deadbeats were driven crazy!
A lot of these people were not afraid of being called out in the public notices since not many people would look at them anyway. Who had the ti to check the list of criminals on the television and newspapers every day? But it was different this ti. It wasn’t a public notice, but sothing that was a million tis harsher. These people also had relatives, friends, and colleagues. So even had business partners too. But with this, the people around them were now aware of their situation. This sort of pressure was simply too overwhelming.
…
This also made the news in China.
“The Supre Court clamps down hard on deadbeats!”
“The Supre Court makes its move!”
“The ‘Deadbeat Incoming Ringtone’ is born!”
“Shock! The Supre Court resorts to unorthodox asures!”
The news also did a detailed writeup on the “Deadbeat Incoming Ringtone.”
…
On Weibo.
The netizens were gobsmacked when they saw the news!
“Holy shit!”
“This—”
“The Supre Court is so smart!”
“Hahahaha!”
“Aiyo, I’m dying of laughter! This is hilarious!”
“They can even fucking do this?”
“Whoever ca up with such an idea?!”
“This move is the best! It’s so devious!”
“I’m laughing like crazy! Here’s a Like for the Supre Court!”
“The Supre Court is amazing today! Beautifully executed!”
“Pfft, hahahahaha! Is this still the Supre Court that I thought I knew? A wicked move like that couldn’t have been thought up by just anyone!”
“What a bright move by the Supre Court!”
“All hail our country’s governntal organization!”
“When faced with such scum, there’s a need to use similarly scummy tactics to deal with them!”
“Well done! This should have happened a long ti ago!”
“Those deadbeats have always thought that they were unscrupulous, but who could’ve guessed our governntal organization can be even more unscrupulous when they want to! The Supre Court has played it really well. I just want to know now whose great idea this was! What a genius! They had better get a promotion and a raise!”
…
At night.
Zhang Ye’s parents’ house.
As he was too lazy to cook, Zhang Ye brought his wife and child over to his parents’ place for dinner.
As soon as Zhang Ye entered the house, he called out, “Dad, Mom, I’m hungry.”
His mother stared at him. “All you know is to eat!”
Sisi said listlessly, “Nana, I’m hungry too.”
His mother dotingly said, “Aiyo, eat so grapes to tide you over, my dear. I’ll get Pops to quickly heat up dinner!” Turning around, she said, “Go on now. Didn’t you hear our granddaughter say that she’s hungry?”
Wu Zeqing imdiately said, “Mom, I’ll go heat it up.”
His father said, “You don’t have to. You’ve been working all day.”
It was ti to eat.
His mother, who happened to have just watched the news, said to her daughter-in-law with a laugh, “Oh yes, there was news that really tickled your Dad and . That incoming ringtone for those deadbeats stunt by the Supre Court is so satisfying to hear about!”
His father also laughed. “That was a good idea! It was such a good idea!”
Wu Zeqing smiled and said, “The idea was suggested by Little Ye.”
His mother was stunned. “What?”
His father exclaid, “Little Ye suggested it?”
Wu Zeqing said, “The Supre Court’s people ca by to the Central Publicity Departnt today when Little Ye brought lunch, so he floated the idea to them.”
“Son.” His mother looked at him. “Why are you so wicked?”
Zhang Ye said in a speechless manner, “I’m just doing a service to the people.”
His mother said in amusent, “Those deadbeats have probably been done in by you!”
At this mont, a cell phone rang.
It was Wu Zeqing’s phone.
She picked up a napkin and wiped her mouth before walking off to take the call. “Hello?”
On the other end, it was Old Qian from the Supre Court. His tone sounded different from the afternoon as he spoke very excitedly, “Minister Wu, it’s !”
“It’s Old Qian?”
“Let give you a piece of good news. You absolutely can’t imagine it, hahahaha. Of the 175 nas on the latest batch of major debtors list, 103 of them have already repaid their debts. Furthermore, this number is still increasing as we—” Another person could be heard talking to Old Qian. Then he said excitedly to Wu Zeqing: “Latest update, there are 108 people who paid up!”
Old Wu laughed. “That’s good.”
“Thank your husband for . Thank Teacher Zhang. He has really helped out the courts this ti. Let find a day and I’ll treat Teacher Zhang to a al in my personal capacity! You must convince him to accept my gratitude!” He then repeated: “You must thank your husband for !”
Old Wu smiled. “Alright, I’ll let him know.”
The call ended.
Old Wu ca back to the dining table and said calmly, “That was from the Supre Court. 108 debtors have already paid up, so Old Qian wanted to give you his thanks. He ntioned that he would like to buy you a al soday.”
His father was stunned. “It was that effective?”
Zhang Ye smiled and said, “I knew it would be.”

On TV.
Central TV News Channel.
The host said, “Today, the Supre Court, together with the Central Publicity Departnt and various telecommunications companies, launched a special crackdown against deadbeat behavior. The effect is very clear, and as of now, 111 people have paid their arrears to the governnt. About 10 people have promised the local courts that they will make up for their arrears within the week. According to our reporter’s understanding, the person who recomnded this severe action that was undertaken by the Supre Court was actually the Nobel Prize laureate, Teacher Zhang Ye. During the course of our interview with the Supre Court, they repeatedly expressed their gratitude to Teacher Zhang Ye.”
