Humph! Such a mean person's behavior is really despicable!

Wang Songlin was very disappointed with Jiang Weihua. In his opinion, Jiang Weihua was not worthy of being a deputy county-level official.

After coming out of Jiang Weihua's office, Wang Songlin passed by Li Lin's office. He hesitated for a moment and began to wonder whether he should report the situation to Li Lin.

He stood at the door for a long time, feeling conflicted - the county magistrate was so busy, would it be bad for him to disturb him with such a small matter?

Besides, I have never heard of any special relationship between Li Lin and Zheng Pei. Would he be willing to come forward to protect Zheng Pei's interests?

With the idea that less trouble is worse than more, Wang Songlin finally shook his head, smiled bitterly, and went straight back to his office.

He sat at his desk in silence for a long time, looking ahead with empty eyes, thinking about how to mention this matter to Zheng Pei.

After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't come up with a good solution. Jiang Weihua's death order could not be disobeyed, and he wanted to protect Zheng Pei but was powerless. It seemed that he could only bite the bullet and announce to her the decision to send her to the village.

He picked up the phone and dialed Zheng Pei's number.

Within two minutes, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in." Wang Songlin said weakly.

Zheng Pei pushed the door open and walked in. Usually when she came to see Wang Songlin, she was always relaxed and at ease, with a smile on her face.

But today, somehow, perhaps because of Wang Songlin's abnormally serious expression, Zheng Pei couldn't help but feel nervous.

In addition, she had been feeling an inexplicable sense of uneasiness all day, and at this moment, she felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.

After Zheng Pei sat down, Wang Songlin spoke first. His voice was hoarse, with a hint of fatigue and helplessness. "Xiao Pei, I called you here to inform you that according to the county leaders, the office has decided to send you to the village for three years..."

"What does the county leader mean? Stay in the village for three years?" When Zheng Pei heard this, she felt her head buzzing and everything went blank, as if she was struck by a thunderbolt.

If it is due to the need of the organization and for the overall poverty alleviation work in the county, she is willing to go to the village.

But what was the reason for sending her down?

What is special about her? What special contribution can she make to the countryside?

Zheng Pei was puzzled and asked softly, "Director Wang, you said it was the county leader's idea. I wonder which leader's idea it was?"

Wang Songlin rubbed his temple with one hand, looking distressed, as if he was under great pressure. "It was Deputy County Chief Jiang's idea... He just called me to his office and gave me this order... Xiao Pei, I fought for you, but Deputy County Chief Jiang was very determined and said that you must go down, and he even said that you can be promoted after training..."

"It turned out to be Jiang Weihua..." Zheng Pei murmured to herself. In fact, she had already guessed it in her heart.

Yesterday, Jiang Weihua threatened her to get out of the government office, but she didn't expect that he would take action so soon, and in this way, by sending her to the village.

He did what he said, and he did it so openly that there was no way to refute it.

Zheng Pei was silent for a long time. Then she sighed deeply and a smile suddenly appeared at the corner of her mouth.

In that smile, there was helplessness, self-mockery, and a hint of stubbornness.

She raised her head proudly and looked straight at Wang Songlin with a firm gaze, which made Wang Songlin feel uneasy and he unconsciously avoided her gaze.

Wang Songlin pursed his lips and said with some guilt, "Xiao Pei, if you don't want to go, just tell me, and I'll try to help you..."

Zheng Pei knew that Wang Songlin was a good person and had always taken good care of her, so she didn't want to make things difficult for Wang Songlin.

So, she smiled calmly and said something high-level, "Director, poverty alleviation is an important task for the whole county. As a member of the county government, I have the responsibility and am willing to contribute to the poverty alleviation work of our county... You don't have to say anything, I am willing to go."

Although she tried to appear calm, her hands, tightly grasping the corners of her clothes, trembled slightly due to the force, betraying her inner anger and unwillingness.

Wang Songlin nodded helplessly and said with emotion, "Xiao Pei, you are a good comrade who understands the overall situation... Oh, it's my fault that I am incompetent. I let you, the deputy director of the government office and my capable assistant, stay in the village for three years..."

There were some things he didn't say out loud. He actually wanted to scold that bastard Jiang Weihua on behalf of Zheng Pei.

Working in the village to help alleviate poverty is an honorable and meaningful thing, but in Jiang Weihua's hands, it became a despicable means for him to discipline people!

Zheng Pei was still smiling, with a hint of bitterness in her smile, "Director Wang, don't be sad. Three years will pass quickly. Besides, I can come back two days a week. If there is anything you need help with, I will not refuse."

The more reasonable Zheng Pei was, the more uncomfortable Wang Songlin felt, as if a blunt knife was cutting his heart again and again.

He stroked his forehead with one hand and nodded weakly to Zheng Pei.

Zheng Pei immediately stood up and said goodbye.

After coming out of Wang Songlin's office, Zheng Pei felt that all the strength in her body had been drained away. She walked in a shaky manner, like a body without a soul.

She closed her eyes, sighed softly, bit her lips, held back the tears of grievance in the corners of her eyes, and rushed back to her office with all her strength.

Last night she wanted to see Li Lin, just to tell him that she wanted to be transferred from the government office, anywhere would be fine... as long as she could stay away from that bastard Jiang Weihua.

Last night Li Lin said they would talk about it when they met today... But it was already noon and Li Lin was still busy, as if he had forgotten the appointment with her... She was a strong-willed woman and would never go to Li Lin crying and complaining about such a small matter.

She waited for Li Lin's call, from morning till the sun set in the afternoon... Instead of receiving Li Lin's call, she received a red-headed document sending her to the village!

She was disappointed and completely lost her patience...

She silently packed up her personal belongings in the office, her movements mechanical and numb.

Her eyes were empty and lifeless, as if she had lost all hope in the world.

After the meeting, Li Lin went to visit the countryside and did not return until the afternoon. When he returned to the office, he picked up the documents sent by Zhang Yupei and read them carefully one by one.

Suddenly, he remembered that there seemed to be something he hadn't done!

It’s Zheng Pei. I agreed to meet her today.

So, he picked up the phone on the table and dialed Zheng Pei's number. After a long time, the call was connected.

Li Lin smiled and said, "Director Zheng, I'm in the office, please come over."

I thought Zheng Pei would come here happily.

However, Zheng Pei said coldly on the phone, "County Magistrate Li, everything is fine now."

Li Lin was stunned. He felt that Zheng Pei's tone was not right. He guessed that something must have happened to her.

After hanging up the phone, Li Lin called Wang Songlin again, "Director Wang, please come to my room."
