Chapter 85 He Xu, you dare to call me a traitor!

He had to go to work the next day, so Chen Tang crawled out of bed miserably and went to the art troupe in the cold wind.

Shi Bing took several days off because of a miscarriage.

Xu Hui was scheduled to be the lead singer for the next performance.

She turned to look at Xu Hui's expression. Well, it was indeed ugly.

It would be embarrassing for her to be a substitute.

A few days later the performance went smoothly.

As soon as Shen Tang stepped down from the stage, he was called to the office by Commander Tan.

There was not only Commander Tan in the office, but also Director Li, the head of a military district farm.

Maybe someone had pissed him off, and his face looked very bad, especially when he saw Chen Tang.

"Master, do you have something to ask me?"

Teacher Tan glanced at Director Li and poured a cup of hot water for Shen Tang with a clean enamel cup.

"I heard that you wrote a promotional article for Haishi Feed Factory?"

Chen Tang was surprised: "Master, how did you know that?"

Director Li said sarcastically: "Oh, everyone knows that you wrote promotional materials for the feed factory, but you didn't help the fertilizer factory when they personally asked you to. How much do you think of them?

Now, the fertilizer factory is so angry that they don't even want to sell fertilizer to us. The busy farming season is only a few months. If we don't have fertilizer, how much food will our army lose? Can you afford such a big thing?"

This was the first time Chen Tang had heard such a crooked theory in his life, and he was immediately furious: "Director Li, what you said is so unreasonable. If they don't sell fertilizer to you just because I didn't write the promotional materials for them, then what's the difference between them and those capitalists abroad who are strangling us?

Today they can refuse to sell fertilizer to us because I don’t help them write promotional materials. Tomorrow they can refuse to sell fertilizer to us because they think that Director Li is not suitable for this position. The day after tomorrow they can refuse to sell fertilizer to us because they think the military district did not give us a high enough price.

What are we then, lambs to the slaughter?"

"Director Li, if you have time to criticize me, why don't you study fertilizer yourself while you still have time? That way you won't be strangled by others."

"You make it sound so easy. If I could figure it out easily, would I still hold you accountable?"

Director Li knew that what she said was right, but he still felt uncomfortable.

Someone choked him and he was so angry that he had no place to vent his anger. He was almost like a puffer fish.

But Chen Tang happened to be pregnant, and he was afraid that if he said a few more words, the other party would have a stomachache.

"But I remember you have already established a research institute. Since you can't come up with anything, you can go to other factories to poach people. We are a military region, and we have the country to rely on. As long as the benefits are good enough, you can still be a member of the research institute in the future. It sounds good to say it to others. If I were a worker, I would only choose the military region."

Chen Tang picked up the enamel cup and took a sip of hot water to dispel the coldness in his body.

Director Li widened his eyes: "Isn't this too bad?"

Director Li, a hardworking worker all his life, never dared to imagine that there was such a cruel way to solve the bottleneck.

Chen Tang sighed: "To tell you the truth, the people from the fertilizer factory did approach me, but they only gave me ten yuan to write a 3,000-word promotional draft.

I wrote promotional materials for a feed factory, which required on-site inspections and verifying their products in many ways. It was not only tiring, but also took several days, not to mention the constant revisions required when writing the promotional materials.

I can’t even buy a pair of small leather shoes with the ten yuan from the fertilizer factory, so why should I write promotional materials for them for almost free?”

Director Li and Teacher Tan were stunned: "Only ten dollars? Nothing else?"

Chen Tang curled his lips: "They said I wrote well, maybe they can give me a job, who are you kidding?"

Commander Tan slammed the table in anger and said, "Good rejection! Director Li, I think the fertilizer factory just doesn't want to sell fertilizer to our military region, so don't make any excuses."

He looked worried and sighed helplessly, "This man is always changing. Zeng Qiangguo, the director of the fertilizer factory, was a good friend of mine back then. If it weren't for people like us supporting him behind the scenes, helping him with experiments for free, building connections for him, and lending him money and land, how could he have made the fertilizer factory bigger and more stable?

Director Li, you must build a fertilizer research institute for me. Hai City cannot have only one fertilizer plant!"

"Yes!" Director Li replied.

Chen Tang heaved a sigh of relief and stood up: “Then Master, I’ll leave first?”

Teacher Tan nodded and comforted her: "Don't think too much. If the fertilizer factory causes trouble for you, come back and tell me. The fertilizer factory was originally in the wrong in this matter.

I really appreciate the article "Sister-in-law" you wrote. Do you have any free time to help our soldiers in the military region promote it? You will definitely be rewarded."

Chen Tang's eyes lit up: "Sure, I'm not busy with rehearsals, but how do you want it to be written?"

There are too many secrets in the military region. If she writes casually, it may not be sent out.

Commander Tan paused and said, "Let's write about those who died on the battlefield, and write more about their hardships and dedication to the country."

Chen Tang: "Okay, I'll go back first."

Teacher Tan walked to the window leisurely, and saw He Xu riding a bicycle to pick up Chen Tang below, and raised an eyebrow at Director Li: "I suggest you wait a while before leaving."

Director Li didn't listen to him, picked up his briefcase and prepared to leave: "I still have a lot of things to do over there, Commander, please don't keep me for dinner."

Commander Tan: “…”

He is so shameless. He doesn't even have enough food at home, so who would invite him to eat?

Director Li was thinking about how to poach people from the fertilizer plant's technical department when he just picked up his bicycle when he heard the girl who had just been speechless with him telling He Xu everything she had just said in the office.

From time to time, she would complain about him in a coquettish manner.

Director Li: Is it too late for him to go back to the office now?

He Xu casually glanced at someone who was trying to slip away on a bicycle, with a perfect smile on his lips.

"Director Li, if my Tangtang did something wrong, you can tell me. If she didn't do anything wrong, you want to pin a false accusation on my wife. Isn't that too much?"

Director Li is a straightforward and stubborn person. He doesn't think he did anything wrong.

Even though Chen Tang had just made him speechless and even helped him come up with a solution, he still felt that it was Chen Tang's fault that the farm was unable to buy fertilizer.

She could refuse to write promotional materials for the fertilizer factory, so why didn't she refuse other factories at the same time?

You have to know that she is from their military region, and her every move outside represents their military region. After such an incident, Director Li felt that although Chen Tang was smart, she was not generous enough in doing things.

However, when he saw He Xu's tall figure and his eagle-like, cold eyes, he felt a little guilty.

"I won't pursue this matter anymore. What else do you want to say?"

He Xu said calmly, "You don't want to pursue it, but I will. Such a large military farm was controlled by a fertilizer factory. You didn't hold outsiders accountable, but used your own people as a scapegoat and begged for forgiveness. Today, you finally let me know what it means to be a coward and knock on the door - you are a coward to the extreme. If those Japanese had seen you back then, they would have laughed their heads off. You have embarrassed us who were fighting on the front line for nothing!"

"He Xu, how dare you call me a traitor!"

Director Li was so angry that his blood boiled and he almost fainted.

Didn't he just hold Chen Tang accountable? He didn't do anything to her. Did this man have to scold her so harshly?
