Zhang Zian shook off the snow on his body and went back to the shop. The elfins had already gotten up and went downstairs.
Old Time Tea had just turned on the TV and was lying on the electric blanket like a farmer, watching the morning news as usual.
Zhang Zian put Famous's health immunity certificate into the drawer of the cashier's desk. He planned to go to the local police station today. There should be fewer people doing business on a snowy day, so he didn't have to wait in line.
Fina yawned and jumped onto the cat tree. Instead of lying down, it patted the cotton pad with its paw and said to Zhang Zian unhappily, "Where's the heat pack?"
"Here it is." Zhang Zian thought that Guo Dongyue's design was unnecessary, while he inserted a heat pad into the interlayer of the cotton pad.
"Zian," Old Time Tea greeted him.
"What's up, Grandpa Tea? I just went out to clear the snow. I'm going to boil some water for tea. "He walked over quickly, thinking that Old Time Tea was thirsty.
"There's no hurry to drink tea. I think you should watch this." Old Time Tea pointed at the TV screen.
Zhang Zian was not interested in the TV news. There was a meeting yesterday, a trip today, and an inspection of the people tomorrow. However, since Old Time Tea wanted him to watch it, he squatted down patiently.
The TV was placed on a low table, almost at the same level as Old Time Tea, so it was easy for it to watch. However, Zhang Zian had to squat down to watch it.
Old Time Tea was watching the local news channel. The hostess was not attractive at all, much worse than the CCTV hostess. However, the news she broadcasted successfully attracted Zhang Zian's attention.
"News from our station. After receiving reports from enthusiastic people, the departments of industry and commerce, urban management, taxation, consumers' association, and public security carried out a joint law enforcement campaign against the dog market in the Nancheng District of our city yesterday, focusing on unlicensed operation, fraud, tax-related violations, and fighting. Each of the member units selected five law enforcement officers, a total of more than 20 people, and divided them into two groups to enter the dog market from the north and south entrances to thoroughly rectify the long-standing chaos in the dog market. Please watch the detailed report below. "
The picture switched from the hostess to the dog market.
A group of people wearing the uniforms of different departments with big brim hats got out of a car marked with "Joint Law Enforcement". Commanded by a person who seemed to be in a high position, they blocked the north and south entrances of the dog market without any explanation and pulled up the cordon. Ordinary customers were only allowed to leave but not enter. After the two groups of people entered the dog market, they did not run around like headless flies. Obviously, they came prepared. As soon as they arrived, they detained the vendor selling dyed chicks near the entrance along with his cart.
In the dog market, it was easy to find out if anyone was operating without a license. Every vendor was operating without a license.
People in the dog market were in a panic. Some clever vendors directly left their cars and pets on the spot, and slipped away with ordinary consumers … Those who were not so clever, or those who were the focus of law enforcement officers, were more unlucky.
The video must have been edited. After a while, the detained vendors filed out of the dog market with their heads down. Under the command of the joint law enforcement officers, they lined up and got on a large van, while the electric tricycles of the vendors were hung on a trailer. Other large vehicles that could not be taken away temporarily were all locked up. The metal cages that held the pets were moved to a truck.
Zhang Zian even noticed that there were several familiar faces among the vendors lining up to get on the truck. Each of them had disheveled hair and black eyes. They were the people he had beaten up, including Red Dragon, Black Mole, Lao San, and Liu XX. None of them were missing.
Finally, the accompanying reporter interviewed the person in charge of the law enforcement action, an official from the Consumers Association, and asked him whether the action had achieved the predetermined goal.
The person in charge said that this operation had just begun and would last for a whole week. In the coming days, all departments would further strengthen the management of the dog market, and carry out random inspections from time to time, so as to ensure that no blind spots were left and no loopholes were left, and the chaos in the dog market would be effectively eradicated and the legitimate rights and interests of the people would be protected.
The picture switched back to the host again. She said with a smile,
"All departments have been preparing for this joint law enforcement for a long time. In response to the public's concerns, the law enforcement officers visited the dog market in civilian clothes and collected a lot of evidence through secret interviews and filming. Finally, yesterday, they launched a heavy blow and ended the long-term chaos in the dog market! During the action, eight three-wheeled vehicles and two large vehicles were detained, and a total fine of more than 20,000 yuan was imposed … "
While she was broadcasting, the small screen behind her played the so-called "secret interview video of law enforcement officers."
In order not to interfere with the host's speech, or for some other reason, the video was silent.
The more Zhang Zian watched the video, the more he found it familiar. In the picture, he actually found his stalwart figure walking in the front … Occasionally, one or two uncleared bullet screens popped up …
He seriously thought about it. When did he sneak into the system … The key was that he had never received the corresponding salary and benefits. What was going on?
The host quickly turned to the next manuscript.
"Next news. Last night, it snowed in our city. At 6 o 'clock this morning, the city meteorological bureau issued a yellow road ice warning. According to the emergency snow removal plan, more than 1,500 sanitation workers and large snow removal equipment on standby have been fully engaged in snow removal … "
Famous had walked next to him and was watching the news side by side with him.
Zhang Zian felt very embarrassed. He didn't know how to explain this situation, so he simply kept silent.
He really wanted to know who the "enthusiastic people" were, and whether there was a reward for reporting. If there was a reward, he would have missed at least hundreds of millions of yuan, and his trip would have been in vain.
Zhang Zian and the others went to the dog market yesterday morning and left at noon. These law enforcement officers obviously went there in the afternoon. For a government agency, this action was shockingly efficient …
He thought of Lin Qi. That guy seemed to be a second-generation rich kid. Before leaving, Snowy said that Lin Qi would deal with the follow-up. Could it be that Lin Qi's family had such great power? You really couldn't judge a book by its cover.
Anyway, this was a good thing after all. In the future, the life of the profiteers in the dog market would probably not be easy, and the number of people who were cheated like Deng Jie and Wei Ping would be reduced a lot … The most important thing was that no business, no harm. If the innocent pets could suffer less because of this, the trip to the dog market would be worthwhile.
"Zian, good job," Old Time Tea encouraged him.
"Not at all. I just did a little bit of work. Grandpa Tea, please wait a moment. I'll go boil some water. "Zhang Zian smiled, stood up with his hands on his knees, and went upstairs to the kitchen to boil water for tea.
What happened yesterday had passed, and today's life had to continue.
Famous turned its head and watched his back.
It didn't watch the TV, but had been staring at his face, trying to interpret his body language from the contraction of his pupils and the changes of his facial muscles.
During the whole broadcast of the news, many emotions such as surprise, ridicule, confusion, and relief flashed through Famous's heart one by one, but the most incomprehensible one was the relief at the end.
Why was it that all of his efforts were overshadowed by someone else's brilliance, but he could still show such relief?
Famous didn't understand.
Old Time Tea pressed the remote control, turned off the TV, stretched itself, and said to itself, "Letting go of others is self, and letting go of obsession is sincerity."
Famous was stunned. Old Time Tea's words seemed to have touched the deepest pain in its heart. Since it appeared in the wax museum, it had forgotten who it was and was deeply troubled by it. It vaguely felt that its real self seemed to be buried by something heavy. In front of it was a vast expanse of whiteness, just like the pile of snow that Zhang Zian had gathered on the street outside.
It stared at the shovel on the pile of snow, hoping to have such a shovel to shovel into the pile of snow in its heart.
