The inspectors were very capable; they figured out the whole story in just one day.
The reason was that Xu Mei wanted to ruin Lin Baoni's reputation because Lin Baoni didn't give her face.
She happened to hear some information about Lin Baoni and the others from her husband, Brigade Commander Wang, and then embellished it with some true and false information, which she then spread through her mouth.
Xu Mei knew that Sister Wan, who was currying favor with her, would understand her underlying meaning and spread the word. Then she wanted to see what face Lin Baoni would have left to embarrass her.
Other military wives, on the other hand, are simply fond of gossiping, adding their own embellishments to what they hear and spreading it around, regardless of whether it's true or not.
Although the military can't control the wives of soldiers, it can control their husbands.
Xu Mei's husband, Brigade Commander Wang, was the first to be punished and received a demerit. Xu Mei's father then stepped forward and said that Xu Mei lacked awareness and should not continue to work, but should give the position to someone with higher awareness.
Xu Mei needs to conduct a thorough self-examination and publicly apologize to Comrade Lin Baoni. She didn't feel much about losing her job, as she didn't particularly enjoy it anyway, but she was still very reluctant to issue a public apology to Lin Baoni.
Sister Wan lost her job because she used her position to spread gossip and form cliques, making her unsuitable to serve the wives of military personnel. Her husband also suffered the consequences and received a warning.
The head of the family compound, Sister Guan, was also dismissed, not because of Bao Ni's matter, but because the disciplinary committee found that she had taken many benefits by abusing her position and had acted unfairly. Her husband was also warned once.
In this era, there was no such thing as dismissal, but for senior military officers, a warning or a demerit set up a heavy barrier for their promotion.
Taking advantage of Bonnie's situation, the military conducted a thorough cleanup, uncovering many potential hazards, and the atmosphere in the family compound improved considerably.
Bonnie was unaware that before she arrived, several wives of high-ranking military officers had formed cliques in the family compound, and were very unfriendly to the families of lower-ranking officers or those from rural areas.
Bonnie didn't care much about these things; she had never been bullied in her life.
Gu Ye talked about this with his brother in the office, and he also had many feelings.
"Alright, it's over now. Be careful, especially this time. Commander Xu isn't a magnanimous person. I specifically asked him about it. He has made significant contributions, but he's selfish. Commander Jiang is a decent person. Observe him closely, don't act impulsively, and don't be afraid of trouble."
"Baoni did a good job. She was firm when she needed to be, and she complained when she needed to. You might be staying there for a few years, so be careful. Remember, you're not alone; you have a wife and kids waiting for you." Gu Ze gave him some instructions. He was always worried about his younger brother, even though he was over thirty and Gu Ze wasn't much older than him. He couldn't help but worry about him, even more than he worried about his own son.
"I know, brother. You should also take care of yourself and get some rest. If Gu Xiangdong causes you any trouble, don't hold back. If you need to, then take action."
Gu Ye was afraid that his elder brother would make an exception for Gu Xiangdong, not for any other reason than to save face in the eyes of the world.
"I understand. Don't worry about it. They won't affect us. Just live your own lives. Everything we're doing now is the best revenge against him."
Gu Bei is crippled, and he still has a daughter-in-law at home. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are constantly at odds, and his two daughters each have their own troubles. Even without his intervention, Gu Xiangdong and Xu Fang's later years are destined to be anything but peaceful.
Gu Ye ended his call with his brother and walked towards the playground. Leading a team of several thousand people was not easy, mainly because they had different responsibilities and he had too much to manage.
Bonnie didn't care about the punishment; her only goal was to dispel the rumors and prevent them from affecting Gu Ye or giving others ammunition to attack them.
Rumors can be deadly; if not dealt with promptly, falsehoods can become truth. It's not impossible that someone might use this incident to attack Gu Ye, or use it as a pretext to attack Brother Gu.
Bonnie remembers that there have been quite a few things happening in recent years. Several leaders seem to have passed away one after another after a few years. The Digital Gang is also about to disband. Anyway, it has been a turbulent few years. It is best to be careful in everything. She does not seek high positions and riches, but only peace and safety.
The family compound held a large meeting on this occasion, which all military spouses were required to attend. The auditorium was packed to capacity. It was the first time Bao Ni had ever seen so many people in the family compound.
Xu Mei first went on stage to give a self-criticism. The speech was profound, but her facial expressions were not up to par.
"Comrade Lin Baoni, I'm sorry for the negative impact I've caused you. I sincerely apologize and ask for your forgiveness." Xu Mei's reluctant words made Baoni feel disgusted.
"I accept your apology. You made a mistake and need to apologize, but as the victim, I choose not to forgive you! Not everything can be smoothed over with just an apology. If you are sincere, you should really correct your mistakes; otherwise, it's all meaningless."
Bonnie's words shattered the perceptions of the military wives present. In the past, it was always the one who made a mistake who apologized, and the one who was hurt who would swallow their pride and say it was okay. But today, Lin Bonnie clearly told the other person, "I will not forgive you." It was so satisfying! Why didn't they have that kind of confidence themselves?
Xu Mei was dumbfounded. It was the first time she had apologized to someone, and they completely ignored her and wouldn't forgive her. She really wanted to slap them, but she didn't dare, afraid that her father would punish her.
The responsibility for the family compound fell to the logistics department, and a new liaison officer was appointed—another woman who didn't talk much, but every word she said was to the point; she seemed quite helpful. Sister Guan was dismissed from her post and kept her head down, clearly very resentful.
