"Hey, do you guys think that when Secretary Gu went to the capital on this business trip, it was specifically to pick someone up?"
"That's true. Otherwise, why would Secretary Gu suddenly make a trip to the capital?"
"And what a coincidence that you brought Chen, the educated youth, along?"
"What do you think Chen, this educated youth, comes from? The day she arrived, she was wearing a little skirt that our supply and marketing cooperative doesn't even sell."
"Absolutely! She's dressed so stylishly..."
“That’s the kind of person who’s worthy of our Secretary Gu. Secretary Gu earns so much every month, otherwise no one else could afford to support him.”
The more these people talk, the more suspicious they seem.
Gu Hanping rolled his eyes and coldly rebuked, "Come on, you lot, don't you know what you should and shouldn't say?"
If word gets out that you've said this, how will Secretary Gu face people in the future?
They're just good friends; Secretary Gu is a kind-hearted person by nature.
Look at everyone, when anyone has a problem, doesn't Secretary Gu lend a hand?
Aren't you afraid that Secretary Gu will find out if you talk such nonsense about him?
Besides, this involves the girl's reputation; Secretary Gu is just being kind-hearted.
Look at Han, the former educated youth, and Yang, the former educated youth. Even though Gu and Secretary Gu didn't have a good relationship, didn't Secretary Gu still do his best to help her when she got into trouble?
Don't you think it's going too far to make such a fuss about Secretary Gu?
Upon hearing Gu Hanping's words, the group of people immediately felt a sense of unease.
If this gets out and Secretary Gu finds out...
Putting everything else aside, what if something happens at home and Secretary Gu doesn't help?
Just as life has its ups and downs, so too does the moon wax and wane. No one can say for sure that something bad will happen to anyone.
Yesterday, Secretary Gu brought back a lot of defective products. If this means we cancel our right to purchase them.
That means all the practical benefits are gone.
If word gets back to my family, all the women back home will beat me up.
Although these words were actually passed down by the old women in the family.
Seeing this, Gu Hanping knew that his warning had worked, and quickly pressed on, saying, "If you know what you said was wrong, then spread it less in the future."
Also, those old women in your families, when you have nothing to do, try not to gather under the banyan tree in the village.
"Having nothing better to do than spread gossip."
The workers were all on edge, knowing that the team leader was aware of all these things.
They also knew that offending Secretary Gu meant offending the brigade leader.
Because they're family.
However, Gu Hanping was very fair in his work and distribution, and Secretary Gu was also very fair in his work, never favoring only the people of Dongshan Village.
Everyone in the Red Flag Brigade benefited, so no one objected to the uncle and nephew serving as brigade leader and brigade secretary.
"Work more and talk less."
Gu Hanping gave a final reprimand and led his men up the mountain, where they saw Chen Xiangrong, Zhang Jianjun, Han Xue, and Yang Shengnan, who had asked for leave, leaving the mountain.
The group of workers opened their mouths, but thankfully they didn't continue speaking.
Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if someone overheard it.
Now they also have to help build houses and get paid for their labor.
As a result, they talked badly about others behind their backs?
Gu Hanping glared at the team members again, then said gently to Chen Xiangrong, "Chen, we're here to dig the foundation for your house. I'll buy the bricks and stuff from the Hongxing Brigade later, but would you like to come and take a look?"
Chen Xiangrong already knew the details of the house construction from Gu Yunyang, and immediately waved her hand: "The foundation has been confirmed, but I don't know anything else. I'm leaving it all to you, Captain. I don't have any food here, and I don't know how to cook, so everyone will have to go home to eat. Thank you, Captain."
