Rich in the 70s: I Made a Rugged Veteran a Millionaire-Chapter 31: Safety Education Development

Early the next morning, Jiang Cheng got up on time, read a book, exercised, and went out.

Today it was just her and Shen Yue walking together.

The difference today was that she sent Shen Yue to school and, with Shen Yue’s indication, Jiang Cheng confronted Zhu Pengcheng, who had hit Shen Xing yesterday.

Zhu Pengcheng was nicknamed Zhu Panger, and he was tall and strong.

"What do you want? I know you, aren’t you the one staying at Shen Xing’s house? Let me tell you, my mom is really fierce! If you dare hit me, my mom will definitely avenge me!"

Jiang Cheng, with a stern face, disapprovingly said:

"Why resort to violence? I’m just here to ask you a few questions. Shen Xing said you never fight usually, so why did you start yesterday?"

Zhu Pengcheng took two steps back, staring at the iron rod in Jiang Cheng’s hand.

"You— you— put the rod down before talking."

"You mean this! I picked it up casually, I had no intention of fighting, don’t misunderstand."

Jiang Cheng held up the rod, as if unsure how to put it away.

Somehow, there was a crisp snap.

The iron rod broke in half.

Broke!

Zhu Pengcheng’s eyes widened, and he turned and started to run, but Jiang Cheng, anticipating this, grabbed him by the collar.

"Answer the question before you run, dare yell—"

"No no no no! I don’t dare!"

That scene was too shocking, and Zhu Pengcheng honestly confessed everything.

After listening, Jiang Cheng’s expression darkened slightly and asked: "What did the person who gave you money look like?"

"I didn’t see clearly, his face was covered in coal dust."

"Where’s the money? Did you spend it?"

Zhu Pengcheng shook his head, and under Jiang Cheng’s threat, took out a one-yuan note.

Jiang Cheng clamped the banknote with a book, gave Zhu Pengcheng a look and said: "Go back to class."

Zhu Pengcheng ran off!

Too scary!

His head wasn’t as hard as an iron rod!

It was just one yuan, and he hadn’t even warmed it up!

Jiang Cheng emerged from a blind spot.

The iron rod from earlier was just a prop from her anti-wolf device.

Jiang Cheng left the school and went to the scrap yard.

With Sister Wang not around, she couldn’t take leave at will.

However, at lunchtime, Jiang Cheng still ran out briefly.

She went to the police station to find Leader Tang and inquired about Sister Kong’s son Dong Zi’s recent actions.

In the office.

"What is Ms. Jiang Cheng suspecting?"

"It’s just a speculation, mainly because it was too coincidental that Shen Xing got injured. Dong Zi stopped following me after two days, and then Shen Xing got hurt."

"With Shen Xing injured, Grandma Shen needs to stay home to take care of him. In the evenings, there’s no one to pick me up from night school. By then, I’d be alone."

Leader Tang agreed with Jiang Cheng’s analysis; it was indeed too coincidental.

Jiang Cheng handed over the one-yuan bill to Leader Tang, saying: "This money smells like soot, only someone cooking all year round would have that smell."

Dong Zi doesn’t earn money; his source of money is from Sister Kong.

"Ms. Jiang Cheng is very keen, very insightful. Would you be willing to cooperate with us to act as bait?"

Leader Tang asked, considering it carefully. The investigation had reached a standstill; they needed something to stimulate it to catch the big fish behind it.

"I am not willing."

Jiang Cheng’s answer was quite unexpected.

Another comrade in the office couldn’t hide his expression in time, and you could even see he was a bit angry.

"How could you——-"

"Jiang Cheng, speak."

Leader Tang gave a stern look, and the comrade who was taking notes dared not continue, silently taking notes.

Jiang Cheng’s gaze remained clear as ever, unafraid to meet Leader Tang’s eyes as she said:

"I don’t think the other party will strike after night school. The other night, they lost a lot of people, and they will definitely know that night school is a place of focus."

"If that’s the case, if Dong Zi really wanted to make a move, he would definitely choose another method, something we couldn’t anticipate. In that case, what about my safety?"

"I know you’re going to talk to me about national justice, but do you know me? Do you know my value of existence?"

"Have you weighed the pros and cons, ensuring that this decision is made only in the face of no other method in utter despair? Have you considered the bait plan thoroughly, meticulously planning?"

Jiang Cheng swept a glance, and her words made the comrade taking notes swallow what he was about to say.

None of them.

Jiang Cheng, with her back straightened, softened her expression and continued: "I have an immature suggestion...."

"Go ahead."

Leader Tang had a very good impression of Jiang Cheng.

He also didn’t think Jiang Cheng was wrong to refuse.

This wasn’t her responsibility to begin with.

Listening to Jiang Cheng, Leader Tang suddenly slapped the table, nodding repeatedly: "Good! Let’s do it this way!"

Jiang Cheng nodded in agreement and said:

"Then we’ll see each other at school in the afternoon, I’ll be there on time."

After speaking, Jiang Cheng left the police station and returned to the scrapyard to continue working.

At two in the afternoon, she found the scrapyard director.

"Knock knock——"

"Come in."

After entering, Jiang Cheng politely greeted and stated her purpose.

"Director, I have something to report to you."

"Oh? What’s the matter?"

The director looked up, waiting for Jiang Cheng to continue.

"It’s like this, my younger brother accidentally got injured, and the school is looking to build a safety education initiative. They want me to speak as a typical parent representative about student safety issues."

"At first, I refused. With Sister Wang not around, how can I go!"

The director nodded internally; Xiao Jiang indeed had a good sense of propriety. But why was she here now?

"But then Leader Tang came over unexpectedly, saying that this was a joint safety education initiative by the police and the school...."

"Leader Tang?"

The director became a bit more spirited. If Leader Tang spoke, he couldn’t ignore it.

"Xiao Jiang, children are the morning sun, the flowers in need of our care to grow. Since the school needs it, how can our scrap yard not cooperate?"

Jiang Cheng seemed to have a sudden realization.

"I didn’t think that deeply, lucky I came to ask you. But what about my work?"

"It’s fine, not many people in the afternoon. Anyone can write a bit."

"Can I go then?"

"Go! Of course, you should go."

Jiang Cheng eagerly agreed and ran outside.

"Why are you running?"

"Director, I am a bit pressed for time, afraid I’ll be late."

"No problem, take my bicycle and make sure to cooperate with Leader Tang to do the safety education initiative well."

"I’ll ensure the task is completed."

Jiang Cheng successfully got her leave and even borrowed the director’s bicycle, riding it hurriedly to school.

Arrived right on time.

Leader Tang had already coordinated well with the school.

All the teachers and students were gathered on the playground, and the sound of speaking came from the old loudspeaker.

The principal spoke first, Leader Tang also said a few words, and finally, it was Jiang Cheng’s turn.

"Hello everyone, today I’m honored to do the safety education construction and spread knowledge of spiritual civilization."

"First, about spiritual civilization... Students in the new era should study well, improve every day, unite, and help each other."

"For example, Xiao Zhu gathered some classmates to block the road, throw things, and use verbal abuse because he saw a classmate who came from a single-parent family, which is wrong. It doesn’t align with the spiritual civilization construction of students."

In the audience, Zhu Pengcheng thought: I’m doomed! This is targeting me!

"That was just a story I made up. I believe our students wouldn’t do such things, or at least, they definitely won’t in the future."

Jiang Cheng, smiling pleasantly, scared Zhu Pengcheng into a cold sweat.

"Next, we will do a fun quiz. I would like a student to come on stage to cooperate."

"Let me see... Zhu Pengcheng."
