Li Rui did not dare to stay any longer in case he was tempted by her, so he quickly found an excuse to leave. Li Xiao Yue sighed as she closed the door, her face full of disappointment.
The next morning, Li Rui, Song Chaoyang, and Lao Zhou woke up early and rushed to the city administration hall to continue "applying for passports."
The three of them thought that they had woken up very early, and it was not too late when they arrived near the city administration office. It was only 6: 30 am. However, when they arrived at the entrance after walking dozens of meters, they were shocked by the crowd that surrounded the entrance.
They saw that there was no queue outside the two glass doors of the hall. Instead, there were more than 20 people tightly gathered around. There were men and women, old and young. They did not have any scruples and directly squeezed together. It was as if they would be pushed out of the crowd if they did not squeeze like this.
Li Rui counted carefully. There were 21 people in total. He secretly told Song Chaoyang, "Boss, there seems to be no problem today. There are only 21 people."
Song Chaoyang sighed and asked a bespectacled middle-aged man at the edge of the crowd, "Comrade, is it so difficult to get a passport?" The man turned around and glanced at him, saying, "This is only the beginning. Take it slow. You haven't encountered the difficult part yet." Song Chaoyang asked curiously, "Isn't it possible to get into the top 30?" Song Chaoyang smiled, "There are only 22 people in total, why can't I get one?" The man sighed, "My silly brother, there are only 22 people now, but not all of them have arrived. When the main group arrives, it's hard to say if you can rush in with the identity of the top 30. Besides … "He lowered his voice and signaled him with his eyes to look at the bald young men at the front of the line. He whispered," We don't know how much those people will take. If they take too much, we won't be able to take anything. "
Song Chaoyang looked at the bald young men several times, he saw that one of them had a tattoo on his neck, the others all had ferocious faces, he knew that they were not good people, so he asked, "Who are they?" The man said in a low voice, "Ticket scalpers." Song Chaoyang was shocked, he said, "I've only heard of ticket scalpers, how can there be ticket scalpers?" The man snorted and said, "There are many things you don't know."
Song Chaoyang and Li Rui followed these people and waited for the door to open. Lao Zhou stood to the side and smoked.
As they waited and waited, more and more people arrived. Gradually, they filled up the dozens of square meters around the entrance of the hall. .. Li Rui did a rough count. There were no less than a hundred people... . Song Chaoyang looked at the anxious faces of so many people and sighed.
8: 30 PM finally arrived!
Two staff members from the administrative office squeezed into the crowd and went to unlock the door. The man who unlocked the door put the key into the keyhole and did not move it. He turned around and shouted at these people, "Don't rush, don't rush. Go in slowly, we can all do it!"
The crowd was enraged when they heard this. Some people scolded, "We can all do it, your mother. I've been here for three days and I still can't do it." Others shouted, "Don't make fun of us." Others said, "That's right, it's more believable if you say that we can all go to the moon."
The man was not angry. He turned the key with a smile and opened the large steel lock. He slowly pulled the key out from the doorknob. Another staff member pushed the two glass doors into the room and opened them.
"Buzz!" It was as if a dam had been opened. The flood instantly broke through the dam. The crowd shouted and rushed into the door like a swarm of bees.
Li Rui extended his arm behind Song Chaoyang to protect him and rushed in with him. At this time, there were people in all directions. There was no way to change direction or even stand still. Being surrounded by people would automatically make them run toward the stairs. Everyone used all their strength and rushed up the stairs as if they were participating in a 100-meter race. The ones running at the front were the bald young men.
However, Li Rui and Song Chaoyang keenly noticed that these four or five bald youths weren't running very fast, but no one was able to overtake them. They found it very strange, but after a few glances, they realized that every time someone tried to overtake them, they would be pushed back by them. The people who were pushed back knew that these people were not to be trifled with, so they did not dare to rush forward again.
Suddenly, a rash young man rushed up from behind. He was so fast that he instantly overtook Song Chaoyang and Li Rui. He ran up the stairs like a wisp of smoke and was about to overtake the bald young men. One of the bald young men with big shoulders and a round waist saw him running over. He turned around and punched him in the face. He scolded, "F * ck, why are you pushing? Are you in a hurry to reincarnate?"
This punch hit the young man squarely. He took two steps back and almost fell. Fortunately, there were people rushing up behind him, so he never had to worry about sliding down the stairs. He was not someone to be trifled with. He did not say anything and rushed up to the bald young man to punch him.
The two of them fought on the stairs. Soon, the bald young man's companions came to help. They knocked the young man to the ground and kicked his head.
Song Chaoyang was furious and shouted, "Hey, how can you hit people?"
The bald young men did not want to waste time because of the fight. They straightened up and looked around at the people below the stairs who were angry but did not dare to speak up. They laughed complacently and climbed up the stairs.
Song Chaoyang and Li Rui came to the young man and helped him up. They found that he was bleeding from his mouth and nose and his face was swollen. He could barely stand, so they hurriedly helped him to the side to rest.
When the two of them arrived at the Public Security Bureau's office hall on the third floor, they found that many people were just surrounding the number machine. They looked worried, but no one was taking a number. It seemed that the number was over thirty.
The bald young men who had hit the young man earlier were peddling numbers at the door. "Do you want a number? You don't have to line up. Just go up and do it. You don't have to wait in line." They even went up to Song Chaoyang to sell their numbers.
Song Chaoyang asked, "How much?" The bald young man stretched out his thick right hand and waved it in front of him. Song Chaoyang said, "Five hundred?" The bald young man sneered and shook his head. "Five hundred? Five hundred for two is more like it. "Song Chaoyang said in surprise," One number for a thousand? "The bald young man said," People are robbing you. You don't have to line up. How convenient. If you had to line up by yourself, you wouldn't even be able to get one in half a month. Hehe. "Song Chaoyang did not say anything with a sullen face.
After a while, Li Rui suddenly found something and pointed it out to Song Chaoyang. Song Chaoyang looked up and saw a middle-aged man with a briefcase leading a girl to the passport counter. He smiled and said something to the middle-aged male police officer he had met yesterday, and then handed the girl's leather bag over. The male police officer opened the leather bag and took out the materials inside. He nodded and handed it to the female police officer handling the application. The female police officer gave priority to the girl. The men waiting by the side glared at them, but they did not dare to say anything.
An old man suddenly stood up from the waiting line. He was so angry that his whole body was trembling. He pointed at the male police officer through the window and shouted, "This is outrageous. You want to go through the back door in front of us? Who would do that? Do you think I won't lodge a complaint? " The male police officer shot him a glance, raised his teacup and leisurely took a sip. "Old Comrade," he said, "Don't be angry, don't worry, everything can be done well, everything can be done well." The old man cursed, "Everything can be done well my ass. I've been here four or five times. When have I ever been able to do it? You're going through the back door and wasting the time of people like us who worked hard to get our numbers. It's so unfair. I'm going to lodge a complaint. "The male police officer laughed." Go ahead and lodge a complaint. We don't have enough people here. If you want to do it, then just wait. If you don't want to do it, then leave. "
The female police officer who was checking the materials inside looked out and sneered. "Lodge a complaint? Really …" The male police officer laughed. "Afraid of him? Even if he lodged a complaint with the Ministry of Public Security, no one would care. "
When Song Chaoyang saw this, he was so angry that his face turned green. He held back his temper and said to Li Rui, "Let's go back first." Li Rui nodded.
When they returned to the Municipal Party Committee, Song Chaoyang instructed Li Rui, "Call Bureau Chief Feng Weidong immediately. Tell him that everyone in the Municipal Party Committee is to gather at the ground floor of the Municipal Party Committee building at six o 'clock in the morning tomorrow in casual clothes." When Li Rui heard this, he wanted to laugh. It seemed that Song Chaoyang wanted all the members of the Public Security Bureau to observe the difficulty of the passport application process tomorrow morning. He held back his laughter and nodded. "Okay, I'll call immediately."
When Feng Weidong heard this order, he was confused. He smiled and said, "Xiao Rui, what exactly happened? Why would Song Shuji give such an order?" Li Rui did not dare to leak any information to him. Otherwise, once he knew the inside story, he would definitely order the relevant leaders to rectify their work style. If the rectification was completed, the Public Security Bureau's Party Committee would not be able to see the filthy passport application window in the administrative hall tomorrow morning. Wouldn't that be embarrassing for the boss? He said, "I'm not sure either." Feng Weidong thought to himself, You're Song Chaoyang's confidant. How could you not know what he meant? He smiled and said, "Brother, if you know, you must tell me. I'll remember your favor." Li Ruixin sneered. As Song Shuji's confidant, would I care about your favor? He said, "I really don't know. I'm only responsible for passing the order. Okay, that's all. "He hung up the phone after saying that.
Whether or not he knew Song Chaoyang's intentions, since the order had been given, he could only carry it out.
