Back to the Eighties: A Marriage of Convenience
"Is this yours? This Supply and Marketing Cooperative belongs to the state, how can it be yours? Don't think you can bully us just because we are country folks without education, using lies to deceive us. Who do you think you're fooling?" Qian Minmin snorted coldly, raising her chin and glancing sideways at the Salesperson.
The Salesperson was having a particularly bad day; after dealing with so many people without issue, she happened to encounter the difficult Qian Minmin today, and everything she did seemed wrong.
At that moment, the Salesperson just wanted to get rid of Qian Minmin. She didn't want to say another word to her and hoped never to see that annoying face again.
Suddenly, she grabbed the feather duster from the counter and recklessly swung it at Qian Minmin. "Get out of here! If you don't leave, I'll make you!"
The Salesperson's attack came without warning, and Qian Minmin barely had time to dodge, almost getting hit.
It was Zhao Jin who reacted quickly, pulling Qian Minmin back several steps just in time to avoid the feather duster.
The Salesperson was furious and struck hard; if that had really hit someone, it would have hurt a lot.
"Are you okay, Jin?" Qian Minmin was shocked that the Salesperson actually dared to hit someone. Once she realized what happened, she immediately got angry.
Protecting Zhao Jin by standing behind her, Qian Minmin shouted at the Salesperson, "How can you hit someone?"
"And what if I did? People like you country bumpkins are not welcome at my Supply and Marketing Cooperative. Get out now and don't come back!" If Zhao Jin was delicate, this Salesperson was truly arrogant.
Even though hitting someone was wrong, she appeared more composed than anyone else, her face filled with smug satisfaction. Even without actually hitting anyone, she still acted fierce from behind the counter.
"This is simply too much!" Qian Minmin pushed Zhao Jin aside to ensure she was at a safe distance and rolled up her sleeves, ready to confront the Salesperson.
Zhao Jin wanted to stop Qian Minmin. It wasn't that she was afraid of trouble or unwilling to fight; it was just that the current situation clearly favored them.
From what the Salesperson said, it seemed likely that she had connections; otherwise, she wouldn't dare make such bold claims about "my Supply and Marketing Cooperative."
However, with so many witnesses present, it was clear that the Salesperson had initiated the violence. When the Public Security Team arrived later, even if they wanted to help their friend, they would have to consider the public scrutiny and couldn't openly protect the attacking Salesperson.
But if Qian Minmin were to strike first, then if the Public Security Team had ulterior motives, the best outcome would be for both sides to receive a reprimand. The worst outcome would undoubtedly be them getting kicked out of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative.
By that time, no matter how they justified themselves, they would definitely end up suffering in silence.
So, Zhao Jin's first reaction was to stop Qian Minmin. And she indeed did so.
However, the current Qian Minmin was already furious and completely unwilling to listen to any advice. Even when Zhao Jin tried to mediate, she ignored her and raised her hand to slap the Salesperson.
The Salesperson, however, was not afraid of Qian Minmin. Someone like Qian Minmin, who dared to cause trouble at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, would be kicked out by the Public Security Team with sticks in less than five minutes.
The Salesperson sneered disdainfully, waiting for Qian Minmin to embarrass herself while feeling frustrated that she couldn't do anything about it.
Hmph, if she dared to offend her, she would make sure these two country bumpkins came in standing and went out horizontally!
Just as Zhao Jin and the Salesperson thought, the Public Security Team had already heard the commotion and rushed over.
There were not many of them, only five or six. But they were all strong enough to resolve the conflict here without any difficulty.
Upon seeing that Qian Minmin actually dared to make a move, the sticks in the hands of several members of the Public Security Team swung mercilessly toward her.
This time, even if Zhao Jin wanted to protect Qian Minmin, she couldn't block all the sticks...
"Stop!" Just as a stick was about to hit Zhao Jin, a sharp voice shouted out, and the sticks in the hands of the security personnel were all intercepted.
Zhao Jin felt a figure flash before her eyes; the tall and imposing Qi Zheng stood right in front of her.
Seeing Qi Zheng made Zhao Jin's eyes redden while her lips curled up. She felt both wronged and happy, mixed with worry and anxiety. All her emotions stemmed from Qi Zheng.
The feeling of being wronged was due to having truly suffered injustice. The happiness came from Qi Zheng's timely arrival, while the worry and anxiety naturally arose from fearing that Qi Zheng would clash with the Public Security Team.
In her previous life, Zhao Jin had witnessed the Public Security Team's tyranny and brutality firsthand, fearing that Qi Zheng might suffer losses.
However, things did not unfold as Zhao Jin had imagined. After Qi Zheng stood face-to-face with the Public Security Team, Security Team Captain Tao Tao immediately shouted excitedly at Qi Zheng: "Brother Qi!"
"Tao Tao." Compared to Tao Tao's excitement, Qi Zheng's demeanor was quite simple and leaned towards indifference.
However, Tao Tao was completely unconcerned with Qi Zheng's coldness and was extremely excited to reminisce with him: "Brother Qi, it's been a long time since we last met, right? You haven't thought about your brother, nor have you come to find me. Come on, let's go out to eat, my treat..."
What should have been a tense scene suddenly turned into a warm and touching reunion of old friends, which left the Salesperson, who was waiting for the Public Security Team to take action for her, quite frustrated: "Tao Tao! What are you doing? Don't you see this group of country bumpkins trying to bully me? Get them out of here immediately!"
"Mei Meifeng, who are you calling a country bumpkin? If you dare to disrespect my Brother Qi again, do you believe I will kick you out of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative right now?" As the Security Team Captain, Tao Tao's temper was definitely not mild or harmless. In front of Qi Zheng, he spoke kindly as a brother. But in front of Mei Meifeng, he immediately turned serious and threatened her.
Mei Meifeng's face turned pale in an instant as she looked at Tao Tao in disbelief.
Wasn't Tao Tao pursuing her? Once she married Tao Tao, the Supply and Marketing Cooperative would be hers! She...
That's right; Mei Meifeng had been so bold in the Supply and Marketing Cooperative because she relied on Tao Tao's influence.
Tao Tao's grandfather was the president of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, making Tao Tao almost equivalent to the young master of the Cooperative. Mei Meifeng had long set her sights on him and regarded the Cooperative as her own private property.
But now, for a country bumpkin, Tao Tao wanted to kick her out of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative?
Mei Meifeng was deeply shocked and could hardly believe her ears.
Impossible! Tao Tao must be joking with her. Because she had been deliberately teasing him lately by not agreeing to his date proposals, he must be angry and trying to teach her a lesson...
Tao Tao paid no attention to Mei Meifeng's self-comforting thoughts. He was thoroughly fed up with her pretentiousness and manipulation. Initially, he thought Mei Meifeng had some character, but over time he recognized her hypocritical nature. He was just waiting for an excuse to cut ties with her.
After all, Mei Meifeng hadn't agreed to his pursuit; it was just a matter of attitude. Tao Tao believed he hadn't wronged her in any way, so it felt particularly smooth for him to speak harshly now.
Of course, Mei Meifeng wasn't what Tao Tao was most concerned about at that moment. He was focused on reuniting with Qi Zheng after a long time apart and wanted to enjoy a good meal together.
"Brother Qi, give me a favor; let's go eat!" With a hint of flattery, Tao Tao enthusiastically extended the invitation.
Qi Zheng did not respond immediately but turned around to look at Zhao Jin inquiringly: "Is anyone hurt?"
"No." In front of Qi Zheng, Zhao Jin's delicate demeanor was on full display. Although she shook her head in denial, she still pouted and pointed at Mei Meifeng to complain, "She almost hit me with a feather duster just now."
The Public Security Team looked formidable and seemed to be familiar with Qi Zheng, so they decided to let it go for the time being. However, Zhao Jin had no intention of letting Mei Meifeng off the hook for her earlier actions and immediately began to dig a pit.
This incident was caused by the Salesperson, so naturally, it should be the Salesperson who bears all the consequences.
Qi Zheng's expression darkened instantly, his sharp gaze directed at Mei Meifeng.
Mei Meifeng was initially unafraid. But for some reason, when Qi Zheng glared at her, she immediately felt a chill run down her back and her complexion changed.
"Brother Qi, is this Sister-in-law?" Tao Tao didn't mind Qi Zheng's coldness and curiously looked at Zhao Jin and asked.
He had followed Brother Qi throughout his three years in middle school and had never seen Brother Qi speak so gently to any girl. It must be Sister-in-law!
Due to Tao Tao's sudden question, Zhao Jin couldn't help but blush. She didn't bother to defend herself but instead looked toward Qi Zheng with her eyes.
Although she hadn't officially married Qi Zheng yet, she was indeed about to marry him soon, so there was nothing much to argue about.
Qi Zheng didn't deny it; he simply asked Tao Tao, "How should we handle this?"
When Qi Zheng asked, Tao Tao dared not be negligent.
He nodded heavily, patted his chest, and declared loudly, "What else can we do? We should fire her immediately! Our Supply and Marketing Cooperative cannot allow such pests to exist. Who gave her the guts to lay hands on a customer?"
"What... what?" Mei Meifeng's shrill voice nearly pierced the roof; she was completely thrown off balance.
"What what? Are you deaf? I made myself very clear; can't you hear? Get out! Our Supply and Marketing Cooperative cannot afford someone like you. You better find another place to go; go where the temple is bigger and die there!" Impatiently waving his hand, Tao Tao showed no mercy to Mei Meifeng and started kicking her out.
"Tao Tao!" Mei Meifeng blurted out in a moment of desperation, "Does that mean I can accept your pursuit?"
Ding! The entire Supply and Marketing Cooperative fell silent. All eyes turned toward Tao Tao.
"I spit!" Tao Tao regretted her previous blindness, having actually had some thoughts about Mei Meifeng. How embarrassing!
Mei Meifeng's words were just on the tip of her tongue, and since they had already come out, she decided to go all out. Who would have thought that Tao Tao would directly "spit" at her, leaving her face flushed with shame.
"Enough, stop talking nonsense, let's hurry up and leave. Don't force me to take action," Tao Tao said, lightly tapping her left hand with the Stick in her right hand, looking like a true delinquent.
Mei Meifeng finally believed that Tao Tao was not joking with her. Filled with rage and humiliation, she grabbed her bag from under the counter and left angrily under the mocking gazes of the crowd.
To be honest, although it wasn't very kind, the scene was quite satisfying. It wasn't just Zhao Jin and Qian Minmin who felt this way; even the onlookers thought so.
Moreover, some even gave a thumbs up to Tao Tao, praising her for being fair and a good person!
Caught off guard by everyone's praise, Tao Tao felt a bit embarrassed and uncomfortable. She quickly looked at Qi Zheng, eager to leave: "Brother Qi, let's take Sister-in-law and go eat somewhere!"
