Chapter 464 Hearing Impaired People
"Mr. Huang, please don't act rashly!"
The people nearby hurriedly stopped the old man.
Huang Wenyue was a venerable figure in Jiangsu Province, and if anything were to happen to him, no one present could bear the responsibility.
Chen Yu didn't care about that at all. He directly took out a sheet of A4 paper from next to him, put it on the table, and wrote down some terms for everyone to see.
"Old man, don't be arrogant in front of me. The whole Jiangsu City means nothing to me, and since I'm here today, the rules here need to change!"
The combination of his disdainful attitude and the terms on the table infuriated everyone present to the extreme.
But they were unsure of Chen Yu's true identity and didn't dare say much.
A few people had already started discussing privately and were even searching for information on Chen Yu.
However, the signal at the scene had been blocked by Chen Yu's system; they couldn't find out anything.
Chen Yu slowly stood up, "I will be waiting for your news in Jiangxi for the next few days. If the final answer you give me is not satisfactory, there will be only one outcome for everyone here."
After dropping such a statement, he took Qin Mingxue directly out of the conference room, without giving a second thought to the group of elders.
Once the two of them had left the building, they went their way. They didn't stop until they reached a small alley, where Qin Mingxue breathed heavily.
"This is the first time I've seen someone dare to talk to those elders like that!"
Admiration filled Qin Mingxue's eyes. She had never dreamed that Chen Yu could be so daring.
Chen Yu didn't say anything, just waved his hand, and walked over to a nearby snack street.
Although this place was hidden between several buildings, the aroma drifting from it was incredibly tempting, even to someone like Chen Yu.
He walked a few steps down the street and sat down at a wonton stall.
He had been busy with various trivial matters recently and hadn't eaten properly. The street food here reminded him of the days when he had a shop in Suzhou City.
Qin Mingxue followed him and sat down as well.
Even though she ran a vast underground market, she was extremely interested in the existence of such snack streets.
Each ordered a bowl of wontons and some appetizers.
After a few bites, a middle-aged woman of mixed build came over and flipped the wonton stall.
"I've told you many times, this is my territory. If you don't pay the placement fee, don't even think about setting up here," she said authoritatively, but no one nearby dared to step forward.
When they saw the woman, they trembled as if they had seen a tiger, and two even hid inside the shop, too scared to come out.
The wonton stall was run by a couple who seemed to have been married not long ago, and they communicated entirely through sign language.
When Chen Yu went over to order, they simply showed him a menu to make his selections and then pointed to them.
The couple couldn't understand what the woman was saying, simply nodding repeatedly and making apologetic signs with their hands.
Qin Mingxue was immediately angered; she hadn't expected such bullying to exist in this place.
But just as she was about to take action, Chen Yu stopped her.
"You can help them once, but not for a lifetime. This whole street is probably that woman's property, and this couple will still want to set up their stall here in the future."
Qin Mingxue ran an underground market herself and, of course, understood such principles, but she would not treat her people with such crassness.
If anyone failed to pay rent or encountered any difficulties, she would offer help.
Only if someone broke the rules would she ruthlessly take action.
"So we just let them get bullied here?"
The corners of Chen Yu's mouth slightly curled up, "If you feel sorry for them, you can bring them to the underground market, and I see that this street has a lot of nice street food, you could take them all with you."
Qin Mingxue immediately became interested, her underground market already had a specialty food street, which included chefs from all over the world, but it lacked the kind of street food with local flair.
If she could move the street food from here to there, then her food street might see an even better turnout.
"Good idea, in a couple of days I'll have someone come over, pick a few with good flavors, and take them all away."
Just as they were speaking, the fat woman from before somehow procured a pair of tongs and brutally struck the couple with them.
Chen Yu swiftly dodged and rushed over, grabbed the tongs, and with a hard pull, he threw the fat woman to the ground.
"That's enough, don't you know that the hearing-impaired community is protected by law?"
The fat woman didn't care, she struggled to get up from the ground and pointed at Chen Yu, cursing loudly.
"F*cking hell, where did this brat come from? Do you know where this is? Daring to meddle in my business, seems like you're tired of living."
As she spoke, she picked up a rock from the side and smashed it down at Chen Yu's head.
To her astonishment, the rock shattered into pieces, yet Chen Yu was unharmed.
The fat woman panicked, as she had never seen such a scene before.
How could a person's head be harder than a rock?
Chen Yu had no desire to deal with her any further, turned around, approached the couple, and began to sign with his hands.
The couple was stunned for a moment, but then they started to communicate with Chen Yu through sign language.
The surrounding merchants also crowded around, gesturing and making signs in front of Chen Yu.
Only then did he realize that more than ninety percent of the people on this street were part of the hearing-impaired community.
After communicating with them, Chen Yu suddenly felt a rising anger within him, and then he activated his system to scan the brain information of everyone present.
The fat woman's name was Ma Xiulan, and the property rights of this street were indeed hers, but the location was so remote that it was usually deserted.
She had opened a food street, but there were very few patrons.
Therefore, she came up with a method, specifically recruiting some hearing-impaired individuals, under the guise of providing them with livelihoods, allowing them to have food to eat.
According to the normal process, these people should sign a lease agreement with Ma Xiulan, then complete all the necessary documents, and start their business.
But instead, Ma Xiulan had signed employment agreements with them, and everything on the street was acquired from the second-hand market, which she also owned.
By doing this, she could apply for two types of documents: one to provide job positions for the hearing-impaired, and another to fund entrepreneurial ventures for the hearing-impaired.
And the subsidies provided by the relevant departments for these two aspects were very substantial.
As long as these people were here, regardless of whether they made money or not, Ma Xiulan could claim a subsidy per person from the relevant departments.
