Chapter 385 Apology on the Bulletin Board
"No, Lu Qing, this is just a misunderstanding. Do you really need to make it known to everyone? My Wu Jiao is only a 19-year-old girl. Please forgive her while you can."
"Lin Zihuai is a performer in our art troupe and represents the image of the troupe. It would be fine if it happened in private, but now this 'misunderstanding' happened in front of all comrades in the entire military region." Lu Qing didn't buy it at all and emphasized the word "misunderstanding".
Captain Wu gritted his teeth, his cheeks puffed up, "Yes, it was my Wu Jiao who did something inappropriate. I apologize to you on her behalf, and I hope you can raise your hand."
Lu Qing shook his head and refused. "Captain Wu, what you said is wrong. We only ask for impartiality. You don't have to apologize to me. Wu Jiao should apologize to Comrade Lin Zihuai and our art troupe."
Seeing that the two sides could not reach an agreement, the instructor raised his hand to interrupt the quarrel and said, "According to Article 23 of the Regulations on the Management of Military Family Members, Comrade Wu Jiao must present a written self-criticism and accept disciplinary sanctions. We will post her self-criticism on the bulletin board, which can be regarded as a public admission of error."
Lu Qing wanted to speak, but the instructor looked at him and interrupted him, "Captain Wu, as a direct relative, you failed to supervise him properly, so you also need to submit a self-criticism. I hope you will reflect deeply on this!"
After hearing what he said, Lu Qing shut up.
This punishment can be considered as a concession from both sides. Even Captain Wu was embarrassed, which was considered a great honor for the art troupe.
Captain Wu's face flushed red, veins on his forehead throbbed, and he stared at the instructor with dissatisfaction in his eyes, "I... Wu Jiao is young and naive, and the self-criticism letter has to be made public. Isn't this destroying her reputation?"
Seeing the hesitation on the instructor's face, Lin Zihuai took a step forward and said in a strong voice, "Instructor, I understand that Captain Wu is eager to protect his daughter. But this incident not only affects my reputation, but also disrupts the order on the scene and damages the image of the art troupe. A public apology is a respect for all comrades, and it is also a fair explanation for this matter."
After saying that, he turned to look at Captain Wu with a frank look, "Captain Wu, I believe that Comrade Wu Jiao will be able to correct her mistakes after she realizes them."
Captain Wu choked!
Lu Qing also softened his tone, "Captain Wu, loving your son is like killing him! Wu Jiao dared to mess around in the auditorium without considering the consequences. If Commander Zheng hadn't been furious on the spot, who knows how this would have turned out! You have been in the military region for so many years, you should know the importance of discipline better than anyone else."
The instructor tapped the table with a pen and said, "Stop talking! This is the final decision, no one can change it! Captain Wu, go back now and urge Wu Jiao to write a self-criticism, and submit it to my office tomorrow morning. As for your self-criticism, submit it within three days."
After saying that, he stood up and glanced at everyone one by one, "Dismiss!"
Captain Wu stood up with a frown on his face. He looked back at Lin Zihuai with a cold expression, said nothing, pushed the door open and left.
Lin Zihuai looked at Captain Wu's departing back, and his tense shoulders finally relaxed.
Du Juan gently held his arm and comforted him, "Zi Huai, it's all over."
Lu Qing came over and patted Lin Zihuai's shoulder heavily: "Good job! You didn't bring shame to our art troupe!"
As the night deepened, the light from the instructor's office cast long shadows in the corridor.
Lin Zihuai and Du Juan walked side by side on the way back to the dormitory. Sporadic barking of dogs could be heard in the distance, mixed with the cold winter wind, but it could not blow away the warmth in their hearts.
This turmoil has come to an end for the time being under the rule of discipline and fairness.
The next morning.
Wu Jiao's letter of apology was posted on the bulletin board.
The biting cold wind swept the snow across the bulletin board, and Wu Jiao's self-criticism trembled slightly under the plastic film. The handwriting was crooked, and the ink was smudged into dark clumps due to repeated corrections. "I shouldn't have disturbed the order at the performance of the art troupe and damaged the image of the art troupe..."
The aunts from the military compound were gathering to watch the fun.
"This handwriting is not as neat as my grandson's."
"Come on, it's good enough to write like this. Can you read? You have to let us read it to you."
"This is quite new. Captain Wu's wife went to the Du family to break up their marriage, right? Now her daughter is...thinking about love?"
"No, is Lin the translator's brother really that handsome? The girls he seduced turned out to be like this?"
Some people who had never seen Lin Zihuai were a little curious, but most people in the military compound knew what Lin Zihuai looked like. He was not only handsome, but also tall. Especially when he first joined the art troupe, he performed on the same stage with the already famous Mu Youwei, and they tied, which made him famous overnight.
Immediately, an old lady started speaking, and her speech was even more exciting than the live performance.
"No wonder the charming little girl is like this, hahahaha~"
Lin Anan went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some daily necessities and just came back. Her eyes passed through the dead locust branches in the military compound and fell on the bulletin board a hundred meters away.
Seeing those aunts wrapped in cotton-padded jackets huddled together, their exaggerated laughter was extremely penetrating...
Posting the little girl's apology letter on the bulletin board for public display is indeed very damaging to her reputation.
But so what?
It's normal to pay for your own actions.
Lin Anan turned around and went home without any sympathy in her heart.
People always say different things, and the more they spread, the more unpleasant it becomes.
As for whether it would implicate Lin Zihuai...
Lin Anan was thinking about how to take advantage of the situation and use this opportunity to build a good reputation for Lin Zihuai, when she saw Editor Liu standing at the door of her house.
"Teacher Lin, you are finally back."
There was a soldier leading the way standing next to Editor Liu. The soldier recognized Editor Liu and brought him in. But he didn't dare to let him go without Lin Anan's verification, and was just about to take him out.
"Editor Liu."
After the soldier left, Lin Anan welcomed him in.
There was a stove burning in the main hall, and as soon as I opened the door, hot air hit me in the face.
Lin Anan poured a cup of tea for Editor Liu.
Editor Liu's hands were still shaking as he held the cup. He took a breath and said, "Teacher Lin, this is great news! Spine has been very popular with readers since it was released.
The day before yesterday, it was even signed by provincial leaders! They said it was a mainstream cultural creation, a model for promoting the revolutionary spirit, and absolutely politically correct. ”
He took out a telegram and said, "The higher-ups have learned that you are a soldier from the Northwest Military Region, and they specifically asked you to go to the Provincial Department of Culture to share your experience!"
"ah?"
Lin Anan was stunned!
"Teacher Lin, everyone is praising you now, saying that only a soldier with strong character can write such a realistic story. Silent heroes need to be praised, and you have set a good example!
Also, “Shackles” has been seen by fellow members of the Women’s Federation. Our editor-in-chief is in the process of further communication. It is estimated that there will be good news in the near future…”
