Chapter 32 Coming to Cause Trouble
"We heard that Chun'an Auto Repair Shop opened, so we, the people of Chun'an Street, have to come and support it!"
About fifty thugs were blocking the gate of Chun'an Auto Repair Shop.
The leader was Chen Haitao, a notorious gangster.
With financial support from his uncle Chen Jiande, Chen Haitao bribed several other gang leaders to come and cause trouble.
"Chen Jiande, if I remember correctly, we didn't invite you, did we?"
Yang Wenqing, Liu Hui, and Zhang Qiang quickly stepped forward to block the crowd.
They were the ones who invited the guests, so naturally they had to take full responsibility for it.
"How could I not come and congratulate my old classmate on opening a car repair shop?"
Chen Haitao chuckled, and a dozen or so of his thugs stepped forward to confront the three men, forming an encirclement.
"Hello, Liwan District Public Security Bureau, this is Secretary Hu from the Planning Bureau. I'm attending the opening ceremony of Chun'an Auto Repair Shop with Director Gao Guoqiang. There are some people causing trouble."
At Gao Guoqiang's prompting, Secretary Hu took out a mobile phone and made a call.
However, it will take some time for the police to arrive.
"Boss, those two guys in suits over there don't look like they're easy to mess with..."
The subordinate next to him noticed Secretary Hu holding the mobile phone and whispered a reminder.
These days, mobile phones are still a rarity; only important figures can afford one.
Ordinary thugs are just trying to make a living; they're not part of any organized crime group, so there's no need for them to mess with big shots.
"Stop talking nonsense. I've been keeping you guys around all this time just for today, haven't I?"
Chen Haitao was a little annoyed and kicked the thug.
It's unwise to lose face before the fight even begins; it's truly bad luck.
"You didn't support us either..."
The hoodlum felt wronged.
When they get dirty work, Chen Haitao takes at least 80% of it, and then splits the rest among his dozen or so brothers.
Not only that, Chen Haitao also frequently borrowed money from his subordinates, and the money he finally managed to raise was immediately borrowed away.
There's no definite answer as to when it will be returned.
If it weren't for Chen Haitao's uncle being the director of the neighborhood committee, who had some official connections that could help resolve things, these thugs would have scattered long ago.
"Hey kid, you're asking for trouble, aren't you?!"
Chen Haitao was instantly enraged.
It's all reversed, completely reversed.
Everyone says you have to be loyal when you're out in the world, but not a single one of them is loyal.
Shen Jingsheng's failure to deliver on his promise after receiving payment already infuriated Chen Haitao, but there was nothing he could do about it.
He's currently handling some business, but his subordinates are still hesitant and timid. Today, Chen Haitao absolutely has to sort things out.
"Boss, be mindful of the impact; getting things done is more important."
Another thug stepped forward and whispered a reminder.
Right now, several gang leaders from Chun'an Street are present, and Wang Yang and his guests are also watching.
Internal strife at this time is clearly not a good thing.
"Damn it, I'll deal with you when we get back."
Chen Haitao spat and then pulled out an iron pipe; the thugs did the same.
"Boss Wang, this is interesting."
Huang Wenjie stood next to Wang Yang, never expecting the mainland market to be so crazy.
Even thugs came to block the door when the store opened.
Although Huang Wenjie had witnessed many dangerous scenes while doing business overseas with his father, he was still worried for Wang Yang.
These thugs may not necessarily kill you, but they can definitely cause you a lot of trouble.
If the newly delivered equipment is damaged, the new equipment will be much harder to handle.
"Ah Yang, are you alright...?"
The Wang family members were filled with worry, as the other side had dozens of people, all of whom were able-bodied young men.
Although Chen Haitao's team only had a dozen or so main force members, that was still more than Wang Yang's team.
The experienced mechanics at the auto repair shop clearly didn't have much fighting power.
As for those distinguished guests, that's even more absurd; there's no reason to let guests make a move.
Wang Yang's side only has four brothers, Wang Yang, Liu, and Zhang, and it seems they can't beat the other side no matter how you look at it.
"You are not welcome here."
Wang Yang made his stance clear and drove the group away.
There is an old Chinese saying: "Courtesy first, then force."
If this group of people doesn't leave, then he can't be blamed.
"How can such a large auto repair shop turn away customers?"
Chen Haitao waved his iron pipe, completely ignoring Wang Yang's order to leave.
All the thugs on Chun'an Street are here, with dozens of men backing him up. How could Chen Haitao back down just because of a few words?
"Where's your uncle? You probably don't have the ability to call so many people, do you?"
Wang Yang remained calm and asked about Chen Jiande's whereabouts.
His trump card will only be truly meaningful when Chen Jiande is present.
"Hmph, a car repair shop opened on Chun'an Street, how could I, the director of the subdistrict office, not come to congratulate them?"
Chen Jiande rode his motorcycle through the crowd and arrived at the front.
This motorcycle was cobbled together by Wang Yang; the original director sold it secondhand to Chen Jiande.
After taking it to Zhang's repair shop for modification, most of its functions were lost, and they refused to admit that it was a motorcycle made by Wang Yang.
"Wow, Director Chen is here. Nice motorcycle."
Wang Yang quipped.
Chen Jiande has arrived; now things are really getting interesting.
After all, the materials he had were meant to be shown to Chen Jiande.
"You little brat, in all these years I've been on Chun'an Street, you're the first boss who's ever repeatedly humiliated me."
Chen Jiande pulled a steel pipe out of his motorcycle, intending to teach Wang Yang a lesson today.
In Chun'an Street, it's still up to him, the director of the street office, to call the shots.
"Now that our guests have arrived, I can't treat them poorly."
Wang Yang waved his hand, and Yang Wenqing handed him a file folder.
The document bag contained evidence of Chen Jiande, the director of the subdistrict office, abusing his position to bully and monopolize the market over the years.
"Take a look at this yourself. I've already reported the same thing to the petition office."
Wang Yang casually tossed the file bag at Chen Jiande's feet.
Manipulating stall changes, instructing relatives to collect protection money...
The documents scattered among them revealed all the bad things Chen Jiande had done on Chun'an Street over the years.
Wang Yang instructed Yang Wenqing to report Chen Jiande, and they have already received a reply from the petition office.
In just a few days, this domineering neighborhood office director will be removed from his post and sent to jail.
"You dare to investigate me?"
Chen Jiande was somewhat incredulous. These things had been done so cleanly; there shouldn't be much evidence.
Of course, Wang Yang went to great lengths to obtain this evidence.
Fortunately, landlords like Zhao Desheng, who own several shops, and other big bosses who buy motorcycles are not afraid of Chen Jiande's status.
Wang Yang successfully gained their support by offering free motorcycle modifications, warranty service, and discounts.
"Smash it! Smash this damn auto repair shop!"
Enraged, Chen Jiande finally stopped talking nonsense and ordered Chen Haitao to lead people to smash the equipment.
"It should have been smashed a long time ago! Brothers, let's go!"
Chen Haitao, full of enthusiasm, led his men forward.
He had disliked Wang Yang for a long time.
"Let's see who dares!"
Gao Guoqiang stepped forward and glared at Chen Jiande.
The subdistrict office has a lot of work to do, and it needs to coordinate with the planning bureau.
Gao Guoqiang was Chen Jiande's half-superior.
