Zeng Qixin, the manager of the bookstore, finally came out.

In fact, when the saleswoman named Wan Fengxian insulted Yu Xiaohui just now, Zeng Qixin knew that he had just not come out to intervene. Wan Fengxian is a woman with mild mania, and Zeng Qixin and other employees in the bookstore did not dare to provoke her easily.

Wan Fengxian has quarreled with customers more than once in the bookstore, but every time she can take advantage of some reason, such as the customer dirtying the book or putting the book she took down in the wrong place. Zeng Qixin actually indulged Wan Fengxian quarreled with customers because this can shock some customers who often come to the bookstore to read books. The bookstore is not false to sell books, but Zeng Qixin does not want customers to regard the bookstore as a library.

Seeing that Wan Fengxian cursed a little girl and cried, the adults from the family came to the door again and made extreme actions in front of Wan Fengxian. Zeng Qixin knew that she could no longer hide. If both parties disagree, it would always be a troublesome thing. Especially if Wan Fengxian suffered a loss in the fight, she would definitely make a fuss in the store.

"Where are you?"

Zeng Qixin walked to Tang Zifeng and others and asked with a reserved attitude. Behind him, several male employees in the store came over. Zeng Qixin specially asked him to support the scene.

When Tang Zifeng heard Zeng Qixin’s question, he did not answer immediately. Instead, Xiao Wenjun quietly reached out to take a look in his bag, took out something and pinned it on his chest.

"Tsinghua University!"

Some of the onlookers exclaimed in a low voice. The one Xiao Wenjun just stopped going up was a Tsinghua University badge.

Zeng Qixin was stunned for a moment, and his expression on his face was obviously a little panicked. At this time, the expansion of enrollment in colleges and universities has not yet begun. A student from Tsinghua University is quite influential in a city like Linhe. It can be said that if two people quarrel on the street, one of them had the Tsinghua school badge, then 99% of the bystanders would firmly believe that this person represents the justice side, because... he is from Tsinghua!

Yu Xiaohui copied exercises in the bookstore. This behavior did seem very shabby, and most of the bystanders looked down on her. But at this moment, almost everyone changed their views. This was a girl surrounded by relatives from Tsinghua University, so her actions naturally gained the halo of justice. Everyone was thinking, what she loved to study was such a good child. In the future, she would definitely come back wearing a Tsinghua school badge like her younger sister, to blind these bookstore salesmen who despise the poor and the rich.

"She is my sister. She is reading books here and was insulted by your clerk for no reason. I hope you can give us an explanation!" Xiao Wenjun said in a calm tone.

"This classmate is the son of our Linyi Machinery. I am Tang Zifeng, assistant director of Linyi Machinery. In the name of Linyi Machinery, I ask you to explain this matter." Tang Zifeng said domineeringly.

"Tang Zifeng! You are Tang...Assistant Tang!"

Zeng Qixin shivered. If Xiao Wenjun's school badge made him feel a little tricky, Tang Zifeng's name shocked him directly. The manager of Xinhua Bookstore is not a big official, but he is also an official within the system. In the Linhe City system, who has never heard of the name of Tang Zifeng in Linyiji? No, to be precise, it is his bad reputation.

What did this guy say just now? He said that he would bring 200 people to demolish Wan Fengxian's bones first and then demolish the broken store. If someone else made such a threat, Zeng Qixin could laugh it off, but now that he was Tang Zifeng, Zeng Qixin dared not have a trace of luck.

Of course, he believed that Tang Zifeng could not remove Wan Fengxian's bones, nor could he dismantle his bookstore. But once Tang Zifeng was angry, he could beat a bank president in front of the deputy mayor. How big a face he had in Qixin could have, believe it or not, he could slapp him into a two-dimensional state with a slap.

"This classmate, uh, and Assistant Tang, this matter... should be a misunderstanding."

Zeng Qixin decided to kneel down. No matter how many people he brought to support the table, it would be useless. In Linhe City, which unit dares to compare the number of people with Linyiji? This matter is a loss in the bookstore. Even if the little girl copied a little book, it would be fine if you remind her at most, but there is no reason to insult her in public?

"Misunderstanding?" Tang Zifeng would not let the other party go so easily. He said: "This manager, do you want me to pull you on the street and scold your ancestors for eight generations, and then say that this is just a misunderstanding, and you will forget the account?"

"Assistant Tang, we did something wrong. Otherwise, we would give this classmate a new book to show apologies?" Zeng Qixin came up with a new solution.

Tang Zifeng stood up: "Do you think we can't afford a book?"

"No, I mean..."

"Apology! Let this crazy woman bow to our classmate and apologize!"

"This..." Zeng Qixin hesitated. Is Wan Fengxian such an easy-to-talk person?

Tang Zifeng smiled coldly, turned to Xiao Wenjun and said, "Wenjun, take Xiaohui out, find a public telephone booth, call Director Fan of the factory office, and ask her to contact Mayor Lu of the city and ask him to deal with it."

"No!" Zeng Qixin immediately became timid. He didn't think that Tang Zifeng was bluffing. Whether it was Tang Zifeng's reputation or the level of a direct player, it would be possible to ask Lu Zhenghong to come out to deal with something. And if this matter is really exposed to Lu Zhenghong, he, as the manager, would be over.

"Wan Fengxian, have you heard that? You are just here to apologize to this classmate!" Zeng Qixin turned his head to Wan Fengxian and shouted loudly.

"I... I'm sorry." Wan Fengxian was stunned by Tang Zifeng's aura, and her usual stinginess disappeared. She walked up obediently, bowed slightly, and apologized to Yu Xiaohui.

Tang Zifeng snorted coldly and said to Xiao Wenjun: "Wenjun, take Xiaohui with you, let's go."

After saying that, he turned his head again, not knowing whether it was to Wan Fengxian or to the crowd around him, and said coldly: "I will tell you something, don't bully the young man's poor!"

After leaving the bookstore, the three of them walked for a while. Yu Xiaohui raised her head and said to Tang Zifeng and Xiao Wenjun with tears in her eyes: "Uncle Tang, Sister Wenjun, I'm sorry, I'm embarrassed for you."

"What are you saying? How can you blame me?" Xiao Wenjun advised, and rolled his eyes to Tang Zifeng.

Tang Zifeng was able to roughly guess what Xiao Wenjun was thinking, but he didn't explain it. Instead, he put one hand on Xiaohui's shoulder and said, "Xiaohui, don't think so. I understand the situation at home. Poverty is not a mistake, nor is it just suffering. It is the most rare wealth in your life."

"But..." Yu Xiaohui hesitated, not knowing what to say.

Tang Zifeng said: "Actually, when I was studying, my family was also very poor. I went to school in the city because I couldn't afford a meal ticket. I had to carry rice from my family to school every week. The dishes I prepared were moldy tofu and bean paste brought from my family. Sometimes I couldn't eat meat once a month."

"Really?" Yu Xiaohui widened her eyes in surprise. After all, she was a child of the factory. Even when the factory was in the worst economic situation, she had never suffered such hardship. In fact, by the mid-1990s, China's per capita income level had increased significantly, and even poor families had to improve a lot compared with the 1980s.

Tang Zifeng said: "Of course it's true. Sometimes, you can't stand being hungry at night, so I go to the fellow villager's field with your fat uncle to steal sweet potatoes to satisfy your hunger. Later, my fellow villager discovered that your fat uncle ran slowly, was caught by your fellow villager, and was beaten with a hang..."

Yu Xiaohui laughed out loud. She had a good relationship with Ning Mo. She always felt that this fat uncle was silly. Now that she heard that he was being beaten by someone, she immediately remembered the scene of the second senior brother being beaten by someone in Journey to the West. She couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing that Tang Zifeng was talking a few words, Xiao Wenjun let Yu Xiaohui untied his heart, so he took Tang Zifeng's words and said, "When I was a child, my mother was in poor health and often had to take medicine. Some medicines cannot be reimbursed by the factory and could only be paid for by her own expenses, so my family's financial conditions were also very poor. I worked very hard at that time, and one reason was that our school would give scholarships to the top three in the grade, and the first one was 20 yuan. I could get this money every time."

"Well, I understand." Yu Xiaohui nodded. She just cried in front of Tang Zifeng and Xiao Wenjun, only a small part of it was because she was humiliated by Wan Fengxian, and most of it was because she exposed her family's poverty in front of them. She felt that this was a shameful thing. Now that she heard that Tang Zifeng and Xiao Wenjun had both experienced poverty, and even their poverty back then was far more than her poverty, the feeling of shame in her heart naturally disappeared.

When the three of them returned to the factory, Yu Xiaohui said that they would go home first. Xiao Wenjun was worried, so she accompanied her in the name of wanting to visit her house. Tang Zifeng told Yu Xiaohui to come to his house for dinner in the evening, saying that he and Xiao Wenjun could make dumplings, and Yu Xiaohui happily agreed.

Tang Zifeng went to the East District supermarket and bought flour, meat filling, leeks and other items. When he got home, he started to knead the noodles. He had just had a while of his relationship, and Xiao Wenjun also came back, but his face looked ugly.

"What's wrong with you?" Tang Zifeng asked with concern.

"I really didn't expect that Xiaohui's family would be so poor." Xiao Wenjun sat down and said to Tang Zifeng with a calm face.

Tang Zifeng nodded: "I know. Her father is in poor health. He is taking a sick leave and can only get a basic salary, so his family is very difficult. I stayed Xiaohui as a nanny here because of this reason."
