Chapter 112 112 Without any scruples
When Su Xiao rushed back to the educated youth compound, Fang Minghao had already almost finished preparing lunch.
"Xiaoxiao, what task were you assigned? Why are you even later than us? Aren't you tired? If you're not feeling well, I'll go find Secretary Zhao and ask him to give you an easier one." Shu Bowen was unaware of the situation and was afraid that Su Xiao had been wronged in ways he didn't know about.
"No, Brother Bowen, what are you thinking?" Su Xiao chuckled and explained to him, "I'm collecting eggs at the farm. It's an easy job. I came back late today because I didn't check the time. It won't happen tomorrow."
"What? You went to the farm?" Chen Jing exclaimed, drawing everyone's attention.
For a moment, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Oh, Xiaoxiao, you're quite capable. You've just arrived and you're already working at the farm. Quite a few people are eyeing this job. You'd better do a good job and not end up like Aunt Wang." Fang Yan's tone was somewhat sarcastic.
Li Wenxiang looked at Su Xiao, her eyes filled with grievance.
Well, although Su Xiao didn't care about their opinions, she still felt uncomfortable being stared at by so many eyes.
That look in her eyes was as if she had done something that would incur divine wrath and universal condemnation; it was truly inexplicable.
"Ahem, it's time to eat." Shang Ziming stepped forward, blocking Su Xiao and facing the questions directly. "If you have any objections, go find Secretary Zhao. Ahem, he's the one who assigned the work."
Looking at his imposing figure, Su Xiao felt a deep sense of peace.
"Hehe." Chen Jing laughed, "Why ask? Since it was Secretary Zhao who arranged it, he naturally thinks Xiao Xiao is the most suitable for this job. Xiao Xiao, congratulations!"
Su Xiao nodded in response, "Thank you."
After eating and resting for a while, everyone went back to work.
The news that Su Xiaoxiao had been assigned to work at the breeding farm had spread like wildfire throughout the entire village.
Some people grimaced in dissatisfaction but could only acquiesce, while others were unwilling to accept it and quickly went to Secretary Zhao to demand an explanation.
Although Zhao Xi knew that some people would have objections, he did not expect so many people to come to him.
However, there might also be some people who just want to watch the drama unfold and join in the commotion.
"What's wrong with you guys? Causing trouble during work hours, do you want your work points deducted?" Zhao Xi looked at this group of troublemakers and sneered inwardly.
“Secretary Zhao, we just came to ask about the situation. Why are you making a big deal out of it and scaring us? Or is there some inside story that you can’t let us know?” Aunt Zhao said angrily from the crowd.
She had been eyeing this job for several days, hoping to save it for her son. Unexpectedly, the job was suddenly and quietly assigned to a newly arrived educated youth. Why should she accept this? Naturally, she was indignant and wanted to make a scene.
Zhao Xi frowned and looked at Aunt Zhao and Tian Jinhua, saying, "Comrade Su's job was decided by me and several village leaders through unanimous discussion. She is an educated youth with high cultural literacy, making her a suitable candidate. As the secretary, I don't need to go through any insider dealings when arranging a job. Do you have any objections? How many days have you been arguing about this job? It's causing panic and delaying our work. What kind of nonsense is this?"
Brigade Director Yang Erfu also said, "Yes, this matter was decided by Secretary Zhao after discussing it with us."
Zhao Xi is a cautious person, and yesterday he consulted with several village leaders about this matter.
Everyone agreed with Zhao Xi's statement and planned to let Su Xiao work for a few days to see how she performed.
