Strange Story: Please Stop Telling

Chapter 75 Conscience

"Seeing this, Zhang Yong went on to say: If I remember correctly, you still have a son and an old father? I know you are a very filial person, and you must be thinking about them. Let me ask you, you Do you want your son to be unable to lift his head in front of his classmates in the future? Do you want him to be called the son of an urban murderer by his classmates?"

"Li Hai's complexion is extremely pale."

"His eyes are full of remorse and unwillingness."

"Zhang Yong got up and poured him a cup of tea."

"Li Hai picked up the water glass and took a sip. Then, his voice trembled slightly: I really don't want to do this, officer, I really don't want to! Originally, I wanted to do business with my conscience, but..."

"Zhang Yong said: Don't get excited, speak slowly."

"Li Hai sighed: Actually, even I myself don't know why I have fallen to this point!"

"After speaking, he directly hugged his head and cried bitterly in a low voice."

"Zhang Yong and his subordinates looked at him very patiently, and no one spoke."

"Li Hai took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and then raised his head again: Officer, I don't want to do this either, but the reality is forcing me to step into the abyss step by step!"

"Man, sometimes it's quite tiring."

"This point is completely understandable to Zhang Yong."

"So, he said in relief: Li Hai, don't get excited, speak slowly if you have something to say, and adjust your emotions first."

"Li Hai nodded, and then began to talk about it."

"In the early 90s, Li Hai married his current wife."

"A son was born the following year."

"The family's living conditions are more than enough than the top, but they are still living well."

"But a few years later, my son has reached the age of going to school, and the family's expenses have increased a lot."

"So, Li Hai decided to find someone to borrow money to open a barbecue restaurant."

"The store is a small store. He and his wife work, and they also employ a chef and three waiters."

"Business was good at first, and the passenger flow was stable."

"But soon, as prices rose, Li Hai's income plummeted."

"At this time, my son is in junior high school, so the cost will naturally be much higher."

"In addition, his father is still sick, and he is bedridden all day long."

"For a moment, all the pressure was on him in an instant."

"Tonight."

"The wife settles the accounts for the day."

"Her face was full of sorrow, and she sighed heavily and said: Really, the price of oil has risen again!"

"This sentence is full of complaints."

"Li Hai took the ledger and took a look at the material price and cost."

"Suddenly he frowned, the rate of increase in oil prices was almost equal to the money he earned after a busy day!"

"And, that's not counting daily expenses!"

"What's even more strange is that after Li Hai investigated it, he was surprised to find that only his own store in the whole street has little income, and the rest of the restaurants and barbecue restaurants have almost no cost!"

"Li Hai is even more worried now. He even began to wonder if he has no business acumen."

"But soon, he knew the whole story."

"It turns out that the rest of the shops on this street use low-cost materials such as waste oil and leftovers!"

"As for Li Hai, he's usually timid and fearful. With gutter oil, there's no telling when customers will get a bad taste of it. If something goes wrong, he'll definitely go in and hang out!"

"But until one day."

"Li Hai's conscience has been clouded by lard!"

"That night, a table of guests ate until after nine o'clock."

"One of the customers looked at Li Hai and asked with a smile: Boss, ask me. What kind of oil do you use?"

"After hearing this, Li Hai quickly said: I use soybean oil!"

"After finishing speaking, he still didn't forget to show them the barrel of oil."

"But soon, the customer frowned: Boss, how much does it cost you to use this oil?"

"Li Hai was stunned, the cost? That's ridiculously high!"

"Seeing that Li Hai didn't speak, the guest said: We run an oil refinery, and all the soybean oil, peanut oil and sunflower oil we produce are first-hand, and the price is very cheap!"

"As soon as these words came out, Li Hai narrowed his eyes immediately, and asked a question: Yours, it can't be waste oil, right?"

"Hearing this, the customer smiled and said: No, we just produce edible oil for some brands. Sometimes they produce too much and they don't want it, so we have to find someone to buy it!"

"After finishing speaking, he still didn't forget to hand over a business card to Li Hai, on which it was written: xx Edible Oil Processing Factory!"

"Before Li Hai opened his mouth, another customer continued: Boss, don't worry, all the oil we process is qualified. Besides, even if you don't buy it from us, you can probably buy it in the supermarket. But when you go to the supermarket, the price will be much higher, so you should think about it carefully."

"After speaking, they paid the money, turned around and left."

"The store is closed at night."

"Li Hai is sitting at the table, holding a business card in his hand, looking at it carefully."

"To be honest, Li Hai doesn't want to make money against his conscience, but the problem is that their oil is indeed very attractive."

"Today, there are old and young in him."

"After a tough psychological struggle, Li Hai finally bowed his head to reality."

"The next day, he called the number on the business card."

"I ordered two barrels of oil at one time, and the total was only 20 yuan, five liters per barrel, which is indeed very cheap."

"Soon, a small truck stopped in front of his shop, and a worker got out of the truck and handed it to Li Hai with two white plastic buckets."

"With a feeling of apprehension, Li Hai poured out the oil and took a look. It is really no different from normal oil, and there is no peculiar smell!"

"What's even more strange is that the dishes he uses to cook with these oils seem to be more fragrant than the previous ones! Even the oils used for barbecue are more delicious than the previous ones!"

"Li Hai's hanging heart can be regarded as falling down."

"Seeing that the money for the children's education and the money for the old father's medical treatment have been settled."

"Li Hai decided to invite his friends to have a meal at his restaurant. It's a celebration."

"That day, they ate very late and drank a lot."

"However, despite being happy, Li Hai still has a question in his heart that has not been solved - where did all these oils come from?"

"Is it really like those two people said, it can't be sold?"

"To be honest, even a three-year-old child might not believe such a low-level reason."

"After a period of time."

"Finally Li Hai couldn't hold back his inner curiosity, and made another phone call according to that business card."

"This time, it was an old lady who answered the phone."

"Li Hai went straight to the point and proposed to visit the factory."

"The result was beyond his expectation. The other party readily agreed and gave Li Hai the address..."
