Chapter 525: Chapter 512: Fool
“You… how dare you!” At hearing this, Feng Yongfu quickly got up from the ground, “In broad daylight, you dare to assault someone?”
“You’re causing trouble in broad daylight, aren’t you? If we don’t control people like you, who will protect our government office from being bullied?”
Shi Bao shouted, “Hurry up, don’t waste time. Finish beating him quickly and get him out.”
Hearing Shi Bao say this, the other two officers, especially the one who was very angry just now, regained their spirits and dragged Feng Yongfu towards the backyard of the government office.
Feng Yongfu tried to scream, but someone covered his mouth. Unable to make a sound, he could only struggle fiercely.
Dragging him towards the backyard of the government office attracted a lot of attention from bystanders.
Everyone in this county knew about their government office, they all spat disdainfully.
“I guess they’ve caught another petty thief. Well deserved. These people should have their hands broken so they will never dare to think about doing such things again.”
“Indeed, he’s not even young anymore, but still acts so indecently. Keep him detained for more days, give him more beatings, let’s see if he dares again.”
The spectators were pointing at Feng Yongfu and whispering.
Upon hearing such words, Feng Yongfu was first taken aback, then started struggling even more fiercely, but to no avail. All he felt was a gnawing anger.
You fools, you know nothing, on what basis do you think of others like this!
The veins on Feng Yongfu’s forehead bulged out.
Having dealt with Feng Yongfu, Shi Bao felt a great sense of satisfaction.
People like him, regardless of how you treat them, will never appreciate your kindness. So why bother maintaining a good reputation in front of him? It’s better to be bad and hated. This is also for everyone, including Zhuang Qingning.
Shang Chengen, standing nearby, with a look of interest, scratched his nose.
Compared with the rude and arrogant officials of many other counties, the ones here are very polite and seem very capable in handling matters, which shows that the county magistrate is quite good and knows how to rule over his subordinates.
“Manager Shang.” Shi Bao greeted Shang Chengen, “Are you the shop manager of the world’s number one noodle shop?”
“Indeed, I am.” Shang Chengen nodded.
“The noodles in your shop are indeed delicious. Brother Shen Quan, Manager Zhuang, and I found it very tasty. After returning, we reminisced it and planned to return to your shop to have another bowl if we got time.”
Shi Bao chuckled, “I wonder what brings Manager Shang to see me?”
If he remembered correctly, Brother Shen Quan had paid for their noodles that day.
“Actually, that day one of my waiters overheard you, Brother Shen Quan, and Manager Zhuang discussing about these dried noodles. He mentioned that the dried noodles made by Manager Zhuang are very good. As I am also in the noodle business, I was wondering about Manager Zhuang’s way of making dried noodles.”
Shang Chengen answered earnestly, “But that day the waiter didn’t know where Manager Zhuang came from, and only knew that the two of you worked at the government office. So I came to the County Government Office to ask for information about Manager Zhuang and discuss the possibility of establishing a dried noodle workshop.”
When Feng Yongfu caused all the commotion just now, although Shang Chengen didn’t quite understand what happened, he did hear about the workshop and it seemed that only Manager Zhuang was planning on opening one. This might be an opportunity for him.
“So you’re looking for Manager Zhuang.” Shi Bao was immediately relieved, “That’s easy to explain. Manager Zhuang is from Enji Village near Sunguang Town. He runs Zhuang’s Tofu Shop in Sunguang Town. In Enji Village, he has a tofu workshop, a tofu skin workshop and a century egg workshop. Enji Village is now quite famous, and you’ll find out once you ask.”
Upon hearing this, Shang Chengen was immediately excited.
