In the Apocalypse, Ke Meiyu was a “canary” kept by the big shot Ying Yan.
She resented the big shot’s domineering, indifferent, and ruthless nature, yet yearned for the freedom of an or...
The Ke family members also looked at Qin Yuanjiu nervously, secretly annoyed, wondering who was jealous of their Fubao'er and had done such a thing on their special day!
The village chief and the village party secretary were startled and jogged over, followed by a string of onlookers.
"Comrade," the village chief said breathlessly, stepping forward to offer a cigarette, and said with a smile, "I am the village chief of Luofeng Village. What can I say to you? Is there some misunderstanding here?"
The man rudely pushed the cigarette away, saying, "We have rules. We don't accept even a needle or thread from ordinary people. Let's stick to the facts!"
"What misunderstanding could there be? Do you think this beautiful brick house is just for show, and the noisy TV inside is a toy? Or is the brand-new bicycle in the yard borrowed?"
Ke Meiyu also peered out the window, her divine sense slowly enveloping the entire courtyard. Naturally, she saw Ke Yunyue standing outside the crowd with a cold and smug expression, and Huang Fangbin, who couldn't hide his gloating.
She could guess with her toes that the person who reported her was one of these two, oh, and Li Shuisheng, whose lips were twitching next to Huang Fangbin. Since they couldn't harm anyone directly, they resorted to this roundabout way of reporting her.
Regardless of whether the matter is true or false, the family that is invited for tea during the investigation will definitely have their belongings confiscated and their reputation ruined!
Ke Meiyu rested her chin on her hand, expressionless.
Qin Yuanjiu smiled faintly and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you're not really part of the organization, just outsiders who want to claim credit and rewards?"
"That depends on whether you all dare to take on this task."
Enraged that his identity had been revealed, the leader, a man in an armband, pulled out a stamped letter and pointed at it vigorously: "We are authorized by the organization to conduct the search, so why are you afraid to take it on?"
Before Qin Yuanjiu could speak, Lu Zhensheng stepped forward and said with a smile, "Comrade, although this search warrant you have does not specify an expiration date, such warrants are generally only valid for the current use."
"However, I noticed that the letter paper has frayed edges and the blue ink has faded, so it must have been issued a long time ago, right?"
He immediately turned cold. "Organizational discipline has always been strict. You cannot engage in disruptive behavior without authorization from above! Moreover, the certificate you have in your hand is fake. You'll be taken to jail!"
He grew up in a military compound and had led many new recruits during his years in the army, so he had a very imposing presence.
The other party trembled in fear, but still managed to shout, "Our affairs are naturally handled by others, but the origin of these things is unknown. Today, no matter what, we brothers are taking the people away and taking the stuff with us!"
Qin Yuanjiu patted Lu Zhensheng on the shoulder, "You mean this brick house?"
"It was just that I had solved a key technical problem for the brick factory before, and they gave me bricks that had been burned."
As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man pushed up his glasses and walked out. "Rong Dong, it's been a few months, and you've really taken on more and more responsibilities."
"Director Liu," Rong Dong said with an awkward smile, a thin layer of sweat already beading on his forehead, "what brings you here?"
"I'll definitely be there for Xiao Qin's wedding!" Director Liu said with a smile. "You don't know, our Huayuan Town has such a large area of good land, but our brick and tile factory can't overcome the difficulties in mining and firing technology, so the quality of our bricks is poor and the output is low."
"The factory is doing very poorly, and it can't even pay the workers' wages. It has always been the target of the organization's assistance."
"The management said that if the factory's profits are still negative by the end of this year, it will have to close down. Hundreds of workers will have to wait to be reassigned!"
"It was Xiao Qin who single-handedly saved the entire factory. The first batch of bricks has now been produced and, after being appraised by experts from Kyoto, has been rated as top-grade. Moreover, the renovation of the brick kiln has greatly reduced traditional pollution and lowered waste!"
"The brick and tile factory's orders are already booked until next year, which means that our factory will not only not close down, but will also be listed as a key county-level unit and allowed to expand."
"Compared to the secure jobs of hundreds of workers, what are these scrap bricks?"
The villagers were stunned and looked at Qin Yuanjiu. As expected of an intellectual from the capital, he had accomplished such a great thing without making a sound! He saved the entire factory by himself; his ability was truly remarkable.
Rong Dong's expression was not good: "Is Director Liu trying to protect bad elements?"
Factory Director Liu smiled and shook his head: "You're wrong. Comrade Qin is wholeheartedly devoted to the organization. He shouldn't be implicated because of his family's political background, thus wasting his great talents."
"This is a significant loss for the organization, so all the leaders in our factory submitted applications hoping that Comrade Qin would be re-examined. However, it seems unnecessary now; his class background has already been changed. Otherwise, do you think he could have gone to university?"
After saying all this, before Rong Dong could speak, Director Liu added, "Your Luofeng Village is truly a blessed place, producing so many college students all at once!"
"Comrade Qin made a great contribution to our factory. He only asked for the old, waste bricks, and he also made a request: when our brick and tile factory expands and recruits more people, we should give priority to the young men from our village!"
Upon hearing that it was related to them, the villagers all perked up and stood up for Qin Yuanjiu.
"Comrades, you must have made a mistake. Comrade Qin is a good comrade; the organization acknowledges that..."
"Yes, some people are jealous that Comrade Qin's life has improved, so they maliciously reported him. Such people can't stand to see others do well, and they are the real bad elements who undermine the unity of the people!"
They talked all at once, especially the young men, who were excited and angry, making them seem aggressive.
Rong Dong suddenly shouted, "Shut up, all of you! Forget about the house, what about the TV, bicycle, sewing machine, and tape recorder?"
Qin Yuanjiu said calmly, "Oh, those are all rewards I received for helping my colleagues in the bureau solve major cases. Every single one of them is recorded."
As soon as he finished speaking, a young man with a buzz cut stepped forward and greeted him with a smile: "Comrade Rong, you're always here wherever there's excitement!"
"Director Zhao, what brings you here?" Rong Dong was now filled with hatred for the person who had reported him.
He thought it was a lucrative job and brought a large group of his men, but he ran into a tough opponent!
"If I hadn't come, wouldn't you have kidnapped Comrade Qin and taken him to the organization for reorganization, where he would have been devoured alive?" Zhao patted Rong Dong on the shoulder: "Comrade Qin built his business on his own merits, and no one can find fault with him."
"You've come all this way for nothing. Why don't you stay for a meal and join in the festive spirit?"
Rong Dong shook his head with an awkward smile. "Sorry to bother you all," he said, then gritted his teeth and turned to leave with his men.
The villagers all craned their necks, and only after the person had gone far away did they burst into laughter and jeers, saying, "No wonder you're the boss, nothing can stump you!"
"Brother Yuan, you're amazing! You can do everything..."
