This is local custom, maybe they are celebrating some festival today.
Zhang Jiaqiang didn't care and asked Tiezhu to find a way to drive to the factory gate.
He took advantage of this moment to make a call to Zhuang Xinyan.
However, the ringing rang for a long time, but no one answered.
The vehicle slowly stopped beside the crowd, and the loud sound of gongs and drums could be heard inside the vehicle.
Zhang Jiaqiang left Tie Zhu in the car and wanted to go in and find someone by himself.
But Tie Zhu said, "Brother, I'd better follow you, these people may not be good people!"
Zhang Jiaqiang nodded in acquiescence, separated from the crowd and was about to pass through.
"I'm sorry, let me go over!"
"Oh, you still want to go there, I have already thought about it!"
"Who is this person, here to cause trouble?"
"If you dare to come here to cause trouble, beat him up!"
Isn't it just an excuse? As for the huge reaction of shouting and killing?
Zhang Jiaqiang didn't hesitate to argue with these gangsters, so he had to go around them.
The iron pillar stepped forward, as if it were a road-opening tank, and rushed into the crowd. Those who were blocking the road were knocked forward and backward, leaving a human alley.
Zhang Jiaqiang was not polite and followed Tie Zhu through the crowd.
The scene in front of him made him stunned.
In addition to dragon and lion dances, there were also gongs, drums and yangko teams in the open space among the crowd.
Surrounded by these people, a high platform was built with wooden planks and steel pipes.
Red silk is wrapped around it and colorful flags are fluttering, making this high platform very festively decorated.
A huge fiery red banner was hung on the lintel above the high platform, and the four golden characters "Conference for Recruiting a Son-in-law" caught everyone's attention.
Who is this so arrogant that recruiting a son-in-law creates such a big scene?
Looking carefully, there were seven or eight people sitting on the high platform.
Zhang Jiaqiang actually knew several of these people, including Zhuang Zizhou and the old ghost with white hair and beard. In the middle sat Zhuang Xinyan, who was dressed youthfully and gorgeously.
Zhang Jiaqiang suddenly realized that it was Zhuang Zizhou who wanted to recruit a son-in-law. No wonder he did it in such a high-profile manner.
He watched the scene in front of him with great interest, and wondered wildly in his mind, what is this son-in-law's trick? Is it like holding a martial arts competition to recruit a bride like in ancient times?
At this moment, the old ghost stood up and blew into the microphone twice, causing a piercing sound.
He coughed twice and said loudly.
"My fellow villagers, we all know that Factory Director Zhuang has a daughter, Zhuang Xinyan, who is as beautiful as a flower. As the saying goes, it is the right time for a man to get married and a girl to get married soon. Xinyan has also reached the age to get married, but Director Zhuang only has I have a daughter who is reluctant to marry outside, what should I do?"
"So I discussed with the old man a way to get the best of both worlds, that is, to recruit a son-in-law, which is also known as a son-in-law who comes to the house. This is the best thing in the world. Everyone has seen it. The new face is unparalleled, and the owner of the factory is rich. It’s so rich that whoever can get married will be blessed by cultivation for three lifetimes!”
"But, you can't just find someone to marry you, right? You have to be a good match for the new face to have a chance. That's why we built this arena..."
Zhang Jiaqiang laughed secretly in the audience. No wonder there were so many people here and there was really a marriage competition. But is this the right time?
At this moment, someone in the audience shouted.
"Stop beeping blindly, you should tell me how to fight, whether to do it directly, or to move the guy, whether you can use the troll..."
"That's right, it's a one-on-one challenge, or it's the beginning of the movie. Don't talk about other things and get to the point!"
The old ghost's eyes flashed coldly, and he still said with a smile on his face.
"Don't be anxious, everyone. The conditions for recruitment will be posted soon. Let me say it again here. Firstly, you are not allowed to take action, let alone use swords or guns. Secondly, you are not allowed to bully others. Thirdly..."
Someone in the audience suddenly started to curse.
"How can we compete with each other without using our hands? Isn't this just talking nonsense?"
"Damn it, if we were to write articles for competitions, wouldn't we all be stupid?"
The old ghost remained unmoved and continued.
"Of course it's not a competition. It wouldn't be a big joke if Director Zhuang's recruitment for his son-in-law turned into a competition. Today, everyone who takes the stage is competing for their worth, appearance, talent, and popularity. In the end, only those who pass them all can become Zhuang. The factory director’s son-in-law is riding a dragon..."
After he finished speaking, everyone understood.
It turns out that this competition requires registration first, and the registration fee is actually 10,000 yuan.
If you don't have a net worth of ten thousand yuan, you will stand aside.
Only after passing the registration can you go on stage for the official competition.
In the first round, you need to show proof of sufficient financial resources. The top ten will pass, and the rest will be brushed off.
In the second round, several judges will select those with qualified looks to pass. This time, only three people will be selected.
In the third round, these three people have to show off their talents, and the last one wins.
Of course, this is not the end, in the end Miss Zhuang has to like her before she can be selected.
Everyone in the audience started to curse.
"Isn't this intentional to manipulate people?"
"That's right. If I hand over 10,000 yuan and it is withdrawn, will the money be refunded?"
"I'm afraid that after all the hard work, the eldest lady will not like us in the end, so wouldn't all the previous efforts have been in vain?"
Of course, there are also people who covet Zhuang Xinyan's beauty and the banker's property. They are also confident in themselves and clamor to go on stage to participate in the competition.
There was a large group of rich second-generation young men, eager to try, holding banknotes in their hands and pushing their way to the registration office below the high platform.
Zhang Jiaqiang is also a little confused as to what kind of drama this is.
Could it be that the banker is using this to make money? Aren't they afraid of causing public outrage?
At this moment, Zhang Jiaqiang felt a little hot on his face and subconsciously raised his head to see Zhuang Xinyan looking at him with burning eyes.
He hurriedly raised his hand to make a phone call gesture, and then disappeared behind the crowd.
Before he could completely withdraw from the crowd, Zhuang Xinyan called.
"Haha, you are also afraid that I will marry someone else. What you say is not true. Don't worry, unless you come on stage, I won't look down on anyone else!"
This Miss Zhuang is really a love brain, her mind is full of these nonsense.
Zhang Jiaqiang wanted to talk about her father, but the surroundings were too noisy, and he couldn't shout loudly about it, so he had to listen to her beeping from the other end of the phone and hurriedly looked for a place with few people.
However, as soon as he got out of the crowd, the person over there had already finished talking and hung up the phone.
Zhang Jiaqiang didn't even understand what she said.
After checking the time, Zhang Jiaqiang planned to go back to Yinzhou and call her again in the evening.
Zhang Jiaqiang did not help her for no reason this time, and of course he was not attracted by her beauty. Instead, he planned to restore Heishui Village to normal order for his future development.
So he had a plan. He wanted to help the banker and his daughter get rid of the old ghost first, then unify all the big and small forces in Blackwater Town, and finally make them all good citizens.
As for those who have cases against them, who are disobedient to discipline and who are extremely angry among the people, they are sent to reeducation to avoid harming others.
He called Tie Zhu and was about to get back to the car when a group of people stopped him in front.
The leader was a middle-aged man with a sinister face.
"Young man, were you kicked out of the arena competition?"
Zhang Jiaqiang shook his head, "I have no intention of doing it, brother, take it!"
The middle-aged man was overjoyed, "That's great, how about I hire you to stand in the ring for my son? The price is whatever you want!"
