"Director Cao, please calm down. This matter is over. The main thing is..."

Zhao Youcai sighed, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

"Past my foot!" Director Cao didn't even wait for Zhao Youcai to finish speaking before launching into another round of cursing.

"I think the guy surnamed Zhu is asking for a bullet. He's actually capable of doing something so heinous!"

"This kind of person can't be left unchecked any longer. I think he should spend the rest of his life reforming in prison!"

Director Niu of the steel plant and Director Cao in front of him were old friends. He didn't know Director Cao's temperament perfectly, but he knew him pretty well.

Factory manager Ma was dumbfounded, sitting in his chair with a completely bewildered expression.

I was so excited when I received a call from the military region last night that I couldn't sleep. I thought there was something good going on when I came to Zhao Youcai's place.

But upon arriving, I immediately witnessed Director Cao's volatile temper and sharp tongue, and I instantly felt terrible.

At this moment, Factory Director Ma had only one thought in his mind:

Director Cao is in a bad mood right now, so I have to make a good impression later. I can't let Director Cao get a chance to yell at me in the face.

During the time that Director Cao was passionately berating, Factory Manager Ma of the textile factory kept recalling the events that had happened in the factory during that period.

It seems nothing bad happened at the textile factory, and my brother-in-law didn't have a chance to get involved there.

His troublesome wife was also fired from the textile factory, and now she can only stay at home and do laundry.

Eight minutes later, when everyone's ears started ringing, Battalion Commander Cao finally stopped.

I have to say, no wonder he came from the military region, his voice is really loud.

"Comrade Zhao, did you leave something unsaid?"

Zhao Youcai: ...You know I haven't finished speaking and you still interrupt me to curse. Are you planning to wait until I finish the second half before cursing for a few more minutes?

For the sake of his own ears, and also for the ears of the other two factory directors, Zhao Youcai carefully considered his words before slowly speaking.

"I just feel that this thing can't be obtained easily. Zhu Laoqi isn't completely brainless. He must know that someone will be secretly following him after he gets out of prison."

After all, it was abnormal for Zhu Laoqi to be brought down, and given that he had been scheming for so many years, there must have been someone backing him up.

The Revolutionary Committee, which had arbitrarily accused Zhu Laoqi, certainly couldn't sit idly by. They had to follow him for at least a week to ascertain the situation before they could feel at ease.

Director Cao nodded, indicating that Zhao Youcai's words were indeed correct.

"Only ten days passed between his release from prison and the incident at the farm. To avoid those following him and then precisely poison the animals within ten days seems highly unusual. Unless someone was helping him or he wasn't afraid of being reported and implicated, what kind of person could he be?"

Zhao Youcai was only responsible for guiding the other party's thinking in the direction he was pointing out; the other party had to draw the conclusions.

If Director Cao really did misunderstand, then this was just a lucky accident, and it wouldn't make people think that Zhao Youcai, after becoming the new farm manager, was ruthlessly eliminating the previous farm manager.

After all, he will be interacting frequently with important figures in the town, and even in the provincial and county capitals. Leaving others with the impression that he is a black-hearted person would definitely be detrimental to him.

Director Cao and the other two factory directors frowned as they pondered the matter, until Director Cao slapped his thigh hard.

"Now that Zhu Laoqi has no power or influence, no one would believe that he could accomplish such a difficult poisoning operation all by himself without a team working behind the scenes..."

At this point, Director Cao suddenly thought of a possibility, and his eyes widened in surprise.

"I know! This guy surnamed Zhu is probably a spy! Only spies don't have to worry about being purged for harming the interests of the country and the people!"

The more he talked, the more he felt that his speculation was absolutely correct. The other two factory managers also started to light up, thinking it made a lot of sense.

Director Cao was incredibly excited. "I knew it! That's why those spies dared to secretly set up so many outposts on that back mountain. The back mountain near the pig farm is connected to the back mountain of your village!"

I originally thought those spies couldn't go far and were hiding in the shadows, with their strongholds set up in the mountains, which were very well concealed.

Now, thinking back on all the things that the man surnamed Zhu did, everything makes sense.

Who would be so bold as to raise dozens of pigs?

They're definitely saving them for those spies!

The reason he was exposed later was entirely because all the spies on the mountain were wiped out by the military region, leaving him with nowhere to send his dozens of extra pigs.

Director Cao was so excited that he couldn't wait to return to the military region and report the matter to his superiors.

However, he did not forget the main purpose of his visit today, and immediately began to get down to business in a very brief manner.

"I've called the three of you together because there's something very important that you need to prepare for immediately. Our country is about to establish diplomatic relations with foreign countries, so we're preparing to launch the Thousand Ears Festival in Beijing."

"Comrade Zhao Youcai's instant noodles are very good. His instant noodles are one of the specialties that our provincial capital will be launching this time. Since this is his first time participating in the Thousand Ears Festival and he doesn't have much experience, the two of you will be assigned to his team."

"The people also included in his team are the enamel factory and the cardboard box factory in the next county, plus Team Leader Qi who is responsible for your personal protection and translation work. The six of you will form a group."

Zhao Youcai then realized that Captain Qi could actually speak a foreign language.

But if you think about it carefully, it becomes clear: with Captain Qi's family background, if he doesn't know a foreign language, very few people would.
