Chapter 58: Chapter 58: Beating Up Lin Jiaojiao

"It’s her! She has foreign books!"

Lin Jiaojiao pointed one finger at Jiang Cheng, trembling with excitement.

Being thanked, so what? She didn’t believe those people would risk being criticized to save Jiang Cheng.

Lin Jiaojiao had wanted revenge for a long time but never found a good way, until the day she saw Jiang Cheng coming back with a stack of books.

She didn’t recognize a single word on them!

Lin Jiaojiao wanted to deceive Shen Yue and Shen Xing, but those kids would run away as soon as they saw her.

This news was hidden in Lin Jiaojiao’s heart, until today when she saw Jiang Cheng surrounded by people, and her jealousy burned fiercely.

Jealousy drove her insane!

"Jiang Cheng, I advise you to hand them over yourself. If they’re found, it will be a greater crime."

Lin Jiaojiao spoke again, perfecting her mean-spirited triumph.

At the doorway, Jiang Cheng, Grandma Shen, Principal Wang, and two teachers stood unflustered.

Jiang Cheng stepped forward.

"Hello, I am Jiang Cheng."

The person being greeted raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"You have the aura of a leader, am I right?"

Jiang Cheng wore an apologetic expression, while the other suppressed his slight joy and replied with authority, "You are not mistaken."

"Don’t listen to her flattery! She’s just trying to fool you!"

Lin Jiaojiao’s words were a slap in the face to the other person.

What had been a somewhat good mood was instantly ruined by Lin Jiaojiao.

He wondered how someone as senseless as Lin Jiaojiao managed to avoid being beaten while out in the world.

"We received a real-name report claiming you privately hold foreign books. Please cooperate with our investigation."

The leader raised his hand, and several people behind him were about to storm into the house.

"Please wait, I absolutely don’t mean to disrupt your work! It’s just that there is a misunderstanding here."

Jiang Cheng called out, then turned to the leader opposite him and said, "You are experienced and knowledgeable; as soon as I explain, you’ll know this is a misunderstanding between us."

"I hold a certificate for legal possession of foreign books."

Speaking, Jiang Cheng received a backpack handed over by Grandma Shen and pulled out the certificate from within.

"Take a look, issued by Beijing."

"If there were a problem, would the machinery factory still hire me to do their translations?"

"Manager Guo from the Xinhua Bookstore is also involved; we’ve been working on translations together these days to quickly get the production line running for national profit."

Jiang Cheng’s words revealed much information.

Beijing, machinery factory, Xinhua Bookstore, affecting production.

Stacked together, the result is definitely greater than the sum of its parts.

The people who came to search weren’t foolish either.

He first looked at the document in Jiang Cheng’s hand, and it did indeed bear Beijing’s stamp.

What initially seemed like a fruitful report turned questionable as soon as he stepped into the courtyard alley.

But since he was already here, he might as well take a look.

"It is indeed a valid certificate; this truly was a misunderstanding."

"I told you so! It’s truly inappropriate to trouble you to come here this late at night."

He agreed, though Jiang Cheng’s situation was indeed compliant, and anyway, what good things could be found in this courtyard?

"Let’s go!"

With a sour expression, the opponent prepared to leave, and Jiang Cheng walked several steps with them, stuffing a few industrial coupons into each person’s hand at the entrance.

Jiang Cheng had prepared these coupons earlier.

A couple of days before, Shen Xing and Shen Yue came to her saying Lin Jiaojiao had been deliberately questioning them.

Jiang Cheng was on guard; dealing with pesky little devils could buy some peace.

At present, it was key to end the special period, and the final backlash often ignored consequences.

If they insisted on dragging you down, it would be too costly.

After sending the people away, Jiang Cheng’s expression turned cold.

She took a large step back into the courtyard, palm up, as Shen Yue trotted over with an unfinished cloth shoe sole.

Jiang Cheng swiftly took it and walked over to Lin Jiaojiao, who was bitter and unwilling to believe.
