Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 123: Rich People Get Things Done
Chapter 123: Chapter 123: Rich People Get Things Done
For Le Tong, thirty thousand, is equivalent to her going without food or drink for three months. For Sister-in-law Zhang and her husband, even if they went without food or drink, it would take them more than a year to save up that amount. The couple not only has to pay rent but also support their daughter. I’ve heard that every month they also have to send money back home to their elderly family. Adding it up, it might take the couple two to three years to save thirty thousand.
Le Tong sat silently on the sofa for a while, then asked Sister-in-law Zhang, "Sister-in-law, do you know where Brother Zhang was taken?"
"At the City Management Brigade at the street corner just ahead." Although Sister-in-law Zhang wasn’t familiar with this city, she could clearly state the location, as she had probably visited Brother Zhang before.
However, the couple, who have no connections in this city, had no option but to find a way to pay the fine.
Le Tong couldn’t bear to see the couple suffer, so she thought for a while and then offered her help.
"Sister-in-law, I’ll ask my friends to see if they can do anything to help."
Sister-in-law Zhang was naturally grateful to Le Tong, "Tongtong, thank you."
"Sister-in-law, there’s no need to be polite with me. Besides, I can’t guarantee that I can help. You take good care of Wenwen at home, and I’ll go check things out now."
Le Tong returned to her own home and called Luo Yuanyuan. After she briefly explained the situation, Luo Yuanyuan said she would try to think of something and asked Le Tong to wait for her answer.
About half an hour later, Luo Yuanyuan called and asked Le Tong to come downstairs in half an hour, saying she found someone to accompany Le Tong to handle the matter.
Le Tong went downstairs ten minutes early and saw Luo Yifan’s car in front of her building.
Luo Yifan got out of the car to greet her. Before Le Tong could say anything, he explained first.
"Tongtong, Yuan’er has told me the whole story. I’ll accompany you to the City Management Brigade now."
Le Tong nodded, not in the mood to bicker over anything, and simply said thank you, then got in the front passenger seat.
"Yifan, I’m sorry for making you come all this way. I hope it hasn’t disrupted you."
Le Tong hadn’t expected Luo Yuanyuan would ask Luo Yifan for help. When she made the call, she thought Luo Yuanyuan would tell Mr. Luo, and then Mr. Luo would find someone to handle it.
To be honest, if Le Tong were to choose, she would rather owe a favor to Luo Yuanyuan or even Mr. Luo than to Luo Yifan.
But since she was asking for help, she had no right to choose who would assist her.
"I won’t make this trip for nothing. If the matter is resolved, you have to promise to help me with something!"
It seemed like Luo Yifan had read Le Tong’s mind, as he slightly turned his head to look at her.
Realizing he’d seen through her, Le Tong was a bit embarrassed and smiled awkwardly, "Yifan, what are you, as long as I can help, just ask."
She didn’t want to owe him a favor, so she had no right to refuse him.
Luo Yifan looked at her again, "As long as you’re willing, you can definitely help."
"What is it?" Le Tong couldn’t help but feel a little curious, or rather, she wanted to mentally prepare herself.
"Once your friend’s matter is settled, it won’t be too late to talk about mine." Luo Yifan didn’t seem ready to reveal the answer just yet.
Le Tong stopped asking and instead shared what she knew about Zhang Yi’s street vending activities.
"I understand. Before coming here, I consulted a lawyer, and your friend will be fine."
Luo Yifan’s composure indeed reassured Le Tong considerably.
Le Tong’s place was not far from the City Management Brigade, and about ten minutes later, they were already standing inside the enforcement hall of the brigade. Zhang Yi was seated in the innermost chair of the hall, staring blankly while none of the staff paid him any attention. Probably, they were waiting for someone to pay the fine and then release him directly.
"Brother Zhang!" Le Tong led Luo Yifan over.
With his head down, Zhang Yi looked up in surprise at seeing Le Tong, "Tongtong, why are you here?"
Le Tong didn’t answer him directly, instead pointed to Luo Yifan, "This is my friend Luo Yifan."
While introducing the two, two uniformed city officials approached.
The two glanced Le Tong and Luo Yifan up and down, "Are you relatives of Zhang Yi? You can leave once the fine is paid."
As Le Tong was about to say something, Luo Yifan held her shoulder and spoke first. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
"Gentlemen, here is my business card, let’s discuss this calmly."
Luo Yifan stretched out his hand, handing his business card to the two officers.
Compared to the Ji Family, which is renowned nationwide, the Luo Family might not seem notable, but in R City, the Luo Family is among the significant enterprises. There really aren’t many who haven’t heard of it.
The two officials took the business card, and their initially disdainful expression gradually turned with interest.
"Mr. Luo..."
The shorter one, appearing weaker and timider, began to stammer upon seeing the business card.
"I want to know what law my friend Mr. Zhang broke that justifies such a hefty fine?"
In front of the two city officials, Luo Yifan didn’t display the usual gentleness he had with Le Tong. His gaze turned sharply critical as he looked at the duo.
"Mr. Luo, there might be some misunderstanding here." The more robust one quickly explained, lowering his head.
The timid city official quickly ran to another desk and brought over two chairs, one for Luo Yifan to sit on, the other placed in front of Le Tong.
Luo Yifan sat down without much courtesy, took a tea served by the shorter official, and took a sip.
"What’s the misunderstanding? I’d like to hear it."
The robust official offered a cigarette. "Mr. Luo, it must have been a tiring journey. How about a cigarette to ease your mind?"
Luo Yifan waved it away with his hand, speaking solemnly, "I don’t smoke. I just want to know what my friend did to cause this misunderstanding."
The city official dejectedly withdrew the cigarette, glanced at Zhang Yi, then at Luo Yifan.
"This..." Probably unable to recall Zhang Yi’s full name, he paused, casting a seeking glance at the shorter official. "Mr. Zhang..." the shorter one reminded quietly.
"Yes, this Mr. Zhang was setting up a stall selling roasted sweet potatoes on the street today, which caused a bit of a negative impact on the urban environment and public order. We brought him back to educate him properly."
Le Tong didn’t have a favorable impression of people who followed the wind, but she had no choice but to be grateful for this characteristic. Otherwise, if Zhang Yi were truly fined thirty thousand, she would likely lend him the money to pay the fine upfront.
In fact, up until the moment Luo Yifan handed over his business card, she had resigned herself to the worst-case scenario.
But judging by the obvious shift in attitude from the two city officials, there’s undoubtedly a turn for the better in this matter.
"Education? The education fee costs thirty thousand?" Luo Yifan pressed relentlessly.
"No, it’s not like that. It was another colleague who didn’t fully understand the situation and made such a sanction."
