Lin Yu went to the county commune the next day.
Gu Yunze already knew about Hu Youcai's arrest, and as soon as Lin Yu arrived, he said:
"The interrogation is still ongoing, and they may be secretly transferred later." After all, this person knows too much, and it involves espionage, so the cabinet committee has no choice but to compromise.
Lu Yunfeng frowned: "Comrade Lin Yu, please keep this matter a secret."
Lin Yu nodded in agreement: "However, besides asking about Hu Youcai, I also have something I need your help with today, Secretary."
Lu Yunfeng had a feeling that Lin Yu's visit to him was up to no good. "Hehe, hehe, what could possibly be so important that you made a special trip to the company?"
That's weird and sarcastic.
Lin Yu didn't mind, rubbing his hands together: "I just wanted to use your name as a rallying cry..."
In the Cabinet Committee office, Director Zhang Jianjun greeted the secretary and his entourage with a curious expression.
"Secretary Lu, may I ask what brings you here today?"
Haven't they already discussed Hu Youcai's matter?
Lu Yunfeng felt embarrassed as he said it: "Director Zhang, this is Comrade Lin Yu. Yesterday, Hu Youcai originally reported her family."
Zhang Jianjun found it amusing; was this place here to interrogate him?
"Hello, Comrade Lin Yu, I'm really sorry about what happened yesterday. My men were ignorant."
He felt that he had already given them enough face by saying that, after all, everyone knew how the cabinet committee operated, so what if they arrested the wrong person?
Lin Yu didn't care about his attitude and said with a smile, "Hello Director Zhang, I understand what happened yesterday. That was the work of our comrades."
Zhang Jianjun was satisfied; this woman was quite sensible.
Lin Yu continued, "However, when some comrades came to my house, they scared my chickens so much that they stopped brooding, and they trampled several of the vegetables in the garden to death. My elderly relatives were heartbroken."
"And the workshops, when they searched them, they dirtied a lot of our team's fans, and all the workers worked for nothing."
Zhang Jianjun felt a chill run down his spine, but no one had ever dared to complain to the Cabinet Committee about these things.
She portrayed them as bandits, turning them into public enemies.
"Sigh, that's not what I meant. The 'enemy of the people' thing is just what other people say. It's just that the reputation of the comrades in the Cabinet Committee is damaged."
"I'm just here to apologize to you. These words are not good for you as the director if they get out."
Although the cabinet committee has always had a bad reputation, that's not the same as bullying the entire brigade.
If word gets out, they'll definitely be in the wrong.
Lu Yunfeng added, "That workshop is now a key project under observation by the higher-ups; it's a matter of great importance."
Lin Yu sighed: "So, I can only apologize to you in advance. If this gets to the higher-ups later..."
This is a blatant threat.
But Zhang Jianjun really could only be threatened by her. He gritted his teeth:
"So what are your requirements?"
If it can understand human speech, then things will be much easier. Lin Yu clapped his hands and said, "Oh my, this is the hen at home. It's like a bank of chicken butts. We farmers rely on eggs to supplement our diet with meat."
And those vegetables, those are important foods. You know we farmers are poor, unlike you city folks.
Oh, right, and those fans too, they were originally going to be delivered to the provincial capital's department store..."
"Alright, alright, just tell me how much compensation you want."
After all that was said, Zhang Jianjun finally understood: they wanted compensation for their losses.
He was just waiting for Lin Yu to suggest an amount; if it was reasonable, he would compensate her to prevent her from causing any more trouble.
Lin Yu shook her head: "I believe you were unaware of this matter, so you don't need to compensate me."
She looked around: "Where are those comrades from yesterday?"
"Our brigade has a very deep impression of several comrades, especially the one in the lead, who has an imposing presence, and the tall one, who is very witty..."
She described the characteristics of the men so clearly that there was no way she could deny it.
He even made a sarcastic remark.
Even though it wasn't about himself, Zhang Jianjun still felt incredibly ashamed.
A good-for-nothing brat who's good for nothing but causing trouble.
The one who spoke loudly and impulsively at the beginning was his nephew.
As for the one who's witty and eloquent, isn't that the guy who loves to swear the most?
Zhang Jianjun looked grim, but he still had to deal with it; after all, the man had come with the commune secretary.
“I called them in.”
He went out for a while and then brought in a few people.
One of the fallen men was a few who went to the brigade yesterday, acting arrogantly like bandits.
Upon seeing Lin Yu, the group hesitated for a moment.
Zhang Jianjun's nephew, Zhang Wu, was the one Lin Yu lifted up yesterday; his legs went weak when he saw her.
"What are you doing here?" He looked panicked.
The others chimed in, "That's right, what are you doing here? This is the Cabinet Committee meeting."
As they spoke, they suddenly became self-righteous again.
This is their territory, they're not afraid of a woman.
Lin Yu sneered: "Gentlemen, you haven't seen each other for a day, have you already lost your memory?"
Zhang Wu retorted, "I don't know what you're talking about. We didn't arrest you; we even arrested Hu Youcai for you. What more do you want?"
Lin Yu raised an eyebrow: "Oh? You arrested him for me? If it weren't for me, wouldn't you have arrested Hu Youcai for insulting the country?"
Zhang Jianhua cursed under his breath: "Idiot."
At the same time, he also felt that this girl was sharp-tongued and not easy to deal with.
"Comrade Lin Yu, that's not what he meant. Let's get down to business."
Lin Yu shrugged: "Alright, let's talk."
Zhang Jianhua gritted his teeth; her attitude was truly infuriating, but he remained composed.
"Zhang Wu, did you and your men use excessive force when you went to the Lianhua Brigade yesterday?"
Zhang Wu immediately retorted, "Uncle, we..."
"Call me Director Zhang!" That's utterly stupid. Didn't you see the mocking looks on Secretary Lu and Lin Yu's faces?
They'll just wait and see if they'll show favoritism.
Zhang Wu was frightened by his uncle's expression: "Director Zhang, I, we didn't do anything yesterday, we just went to search, but we didn't find anything, and in the end we arrested Hu Youcai."
He didn't think he had used excessive force, since things like raiding homes and damaging people's vegetables were nothing to brag about.
No one dared to bring it up.
Unfortunately, they've run into a tough opponent this time.
Lin Yu was not about to suffer in silence. That vegetable garden was her favorite place, and so was that chicken—Grandma Lin took such good care of it.
"You trampled my vegetable garden, scared my hens, and destroyed the vermicelli in my workshop. Please compensate me."
Zhang Wu immediately jumped up: "You wish! Why should we compensate you? It was an accident."
Lin Yu snorted coldly, "Accidentally? So, 'accidentally' justifies damaging people's property?"
This label, once placed on someone, is quite serious.
Fearing that his nephew might say something wrong again, Zhang Jianhua quickly said, "No, no, Comrade Lin Yu, they will make compensation. This time they were just young and impetuous, and it's inevitable that they were careless in their work."
