Chapter 698: Being Robbed
If you can get them, please contact me.
Doing business is more profitable and safer than fighting and killing. Would you like to consider it?"
It doesn't matter who she buys from. As long as someone dares to offer a low price, she will buy it.
Sergei quickly thought about it and realized that they were after money.
As long as they can make money, they don't care what they do. They immediately agree: "Okay, are you sure?"
"As long as the price is right, I'll take it. I can pay in cash or exchange it for supplies.
But the price can’t be too high. If it’s too high, I won’t buy it. I come here just to look for bargains.”
"Xia, you are quite frank and direct."
"I like to play it straight with people; it's hassle-free, simple, and easy to understand. I hate playing tricks or guessing with others; it's exhausting.
If it works, it works. If it doesn't, that's fine too. We won't lose anything anyway. What do you think?"
"You're right, Xia. I'll keep in touch anytime."
"it is good."
Xia Ran picked up the package on the ground, waved his hand and left.
I found a random hotel on the street and stayed there before calling Han Bing.
I was notified that I could have an appointment with the person over there.
Han Bing said that he had already booked a place for Xia Ran to live and asked Xia Ran if she wanted to move there.
"I've already found a place to live. Let's just leave it at that for now. We'll see about other things later."
The main reason is that Xia Ran wants to act alone, and it would be more convenient to live alone.
Then I took a taxi to the local police station’s Foreign Affairs Office to register.
According to Dasu's laws, foreign nationals staying in Dasu are not allowed to register within three days.
Once caught, the offender may be fined at the very least, or even deported.
This is not Shuangchengzi, and Xia Ran has to abide by their laws and regulations.
Xia Ran waited for a very long time before it was done. The main reason was that the staff here worked as slowly as snails.
If this happened in our country, it would definitely be complained about, but it is very normal here.
Everyone has long been accustomed to it and no one has any objections.
The people who come here to process and queue up are of all skin colors or nationalities.
Everyone was very obedient, no one cut in line and no one was making loud noises.
As soon as Xia Ran came out and turned a corner, he was stopped by two large Su policemen who wanted to check Xia Ran's ID.
Xia Ran handed over her ID indifferently. After all, she had all the necessary documents and the procedures were fine, so she wasn't afraid of being checked.
The two men stared at it for a long time but couldn't find any problems.
But it didn't stop people from asking Xia Ran for money in various ways.
"There's something wrong with your papers. Unless you're willing to give us two thousand rubles, you'll have to go with us."
Xia Ran understood every word the other party said.
But why did she get confused when they were put together?
Hearing about something is one thing, but actually seeing and experiencing it is another.
Are the police here that crazy already?
Could it be that they can no longer afford to pay salaries and have to rely on this to make a living?
This is the end of Scotland. If even here is in such a mess, wouldn't other places be even more chaotic and exaggerated?
Damn, he looks like a decent person but he is just doing nothing.
Was she being robbed? And was she forced to pay?
The other side had batons and guns in their hands.
Xia Ran defended herself: "There's nothing wrong with my ID, I just finished processing it and came out.
You said there's a problem, why don't we go in and ask the people inside if they made a mistake?"
It was obvious that these two policemen didn't listen to what Xia Ran said at all, they just wanted money.
They even resorted to violence, trying to drag Xia Ran into their police car.
Xia Ran looked at the two of them deeply and said, "I'll remember you two."
Finally, he gave the other party more than 1,200 rubles, saying, "I really have no money on me. This is all I have."
As he said this, he took out all his pockets and showed them to the other person.
He also opened his backpack to show the other person, which contained only two pieces of clothing and daily necessities such as a toothbrush and toothpaste.
Nothing else.
Seeing that Xia Ran really didn't have much money on him, the two men returned the documents to Xia Ran with a curse.
He also took the toothpaste, facial oil, shampoo and toilet paper from Xia Ran's bag.
If it weren't for the used toothbrush, it would probably have been taken away as well.
For a moment, Xia Ran didn't know how to comment on this matter.
You guys are really not picky?
In just a moment of passing by, he searched the pockets of the two men and took their guns.
Are my things so easy to get?
It's really interesting. Even robbery is legal here. Who can I go to for justice?
Xia Ran deliberately took note of their license plate number.
It’s best not to meet me again, otherwise...
She didn't care about anything else at the moment and decided to find a place to eat something first.
Xia Ran was already hungry, but she didn't want to eat the white people's food here.
The main reason is that white people’s food is too unpalatable, and they dare to mix all kinds of weird things together.
And there was only a little bit of each thing, so little was enough for anyone to eat.
Xia Ran wanted to find out if there were any restaurants run by Chinese people.
I walked down two streets and didn't see a single one.
In the end, I called a car and listened to Xia Ran's long description.
Then he pulled Xia Ran to a bilingually named "Authentic Sichuan Restaurant".
Now I finally found the right place.
It's a medium-sized store, and it's very clean inside.
Because it was not meal time, there was no one else there except Xia Ran, so the boss was sitting on the side having a drink.
After Xia Ran went in, she ordered two stir-fries and a bowl of rice.
The boss said, "The rice is gone, and it's not the right time to eat.
Now we only have dumplings. Do you want any? We just made them.”
Xia Ran asked: "Okay, do you have vinegar and chili oil, and mashed garlic?"
"No, but since you're so particular, I think it's okay. Is this your first time here?"
"Thanks, I guess so. Where is the boss from?"
"That's from the Northeast."
"Hey, what a coincidence! I just came from Northeast China. You, a Northeasterner, opened a Sichuan restaurant and even put the word 'authentic' on it. What were you thinking?"
The other party said something to the kitchen staff, sat down opposite Xia Ran, and prepared to pour a glass of wine for Xia Ran as well, "Want to have a drink together?"
"Thank you, I don't drink."
"It's all about making money. What else can I think about? Working hard to make money is not shameful."
The boss poured himself a glass of wine and opened a can of drink for Xia Ran.
“It’s really not bad.”
The two of them chatted intermittently.
The boss's surname is Xie, and he was one of the first traders to venture into Eastern Europe.
Seeing that someone was interested in this, Lao Xie once again told the story he had told countless times.
"My family was extremely poor back then, and no one wanted to marry me even though I was already in my twenties. I saw no hope or future.
It just so happened that a cousin of my aunt's family became a trader by accident and earned several thousand dollars on his first trip.
That was several thousand dollars, which was worth a lot of money at that time. When I heard about it, I went to find my cousin and asked him for advice.
My cousin is a nice guy and just needed someone to lend a hand. After thinking it over, he agreed and asked me to work with him.
