Seeing Director Xie's unfriendly gaze, Ma Wencai panicked. He had finally become the team leader. Did you know how hard it was for me?
But thinking of their shady dealings, he still mustered his courage and explained.
“Director Xie, things aren’t as Team Leader Ning described. Zheng Juan does have ideological problems; she dared to question the organization in public. Isn’t that enough?”
“Director Xie, Captain Ma is just confusing the issue. Did Zheng Juan do something wrong? Can’t we ask her? How does that become questioning the organization?” Ning Xiaowei immediately retorted.
"Director Xie,..."
Ma Wencai tried to argue again, but Director Xie interrupted him.
"Captain Ma, the organization will investigate whether Comrade Zheng Juan has any problems, but you dare to openly arrest people in the name of the organization without any evidence or proof. Who gave you this right?"
I hereby announce that, effective immediately, you are suspended from all duties and will be subject to an organizational investigation. If any problems are found, the organization will punish you severely.
Ma Wencai never expected that his attempt to give Zheng Juan a hard time would lead to his suspension and investigation.
Wasn't this kind of thing standard procedure in the past?
"Director Xie, you can't just believe one side of the story! This is only their side of the story, and I'm innocent! How about I report back to you privately?"
Ma Wencai was still thinking of using the same old methods, preparing to give some benefits in private.
But now that Director Xie has already sided with the authorities, he doesn't dare to accept anything offered to him.
Especially at this critical juncture, aren't you fucking trying to get me into trouble?!
Fearing that Ma Wencai might make another shocking statement, Director Xie quickly gave a wink to the two team members behind him.
These two disciplinary team members were quick-witted and immediately understood the director's intention.
The two men grabbed Ma Wencai's arms and dragged him out.
"Director Xie, you can't do this, you can't..."
Although Ma Wencai's voice was very mournful, Director Xie remained unmoved.
After dealing with the matter, he comforted Zheng Juan, telling her to focus on her work and not to have any mental burden.
This indicates that the organization will neither wrong an innocent person nor protect a guilty one.
Zheng Juan was also moved and nodded repeatedly, thanking them profusely.
"Thank you, thank you, Director..."
"Yes! You don't need to be so polite. If you want to thank someone, thank Team Leader Ning."
"Thank me?" Ning Xiaowei was completely confused.
"Oh! By the way, Team Leader Ning, please give my regards to Director Sun when you get back. I have other things to take care of, you guys are busy."
After saying this, Director Xie strode out.
He also needs to handle Ma Wencai's matter properly, because only then can it be considered a complete resolution.
As for the sentence I just mentioned?
It was just to let Sun Zhengguo know that I had done what you asked me to do, nothing more.
Even after Director Xie had walked away, Zheng Juan was still somewhat shaken.
If Director Xie hadn't arrived in time, the consequences today would have been unimaginable.
But thinking about what the director had said before he left, she couldn't help but have a question.
"Xiaowei, do you think your husband helped with what happened today? Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?"
"No way, Sister Juan, I just mentioned it casually last night. Did he really get it done today?" Ning Xiaowei was also puzzled.
After all, the two had only exchanged a casual remark and there was no conflict of interest, so why did Sun Zhengguo act so quickly?
“That’s right.” Zheng Juan said with great certainty. “Xiao Wei, please thank your Director Sun for me, otherwise I would…”
"No, no, no, if our Director Sun knew that he had unintentionally helped you, he would definitely be very happy. After all, if you hadn't introduced us back then, we wouldn't have met. Every little thing that happened was fate."
Ning Xiaowei now believes that Sun Zhengguo was the one who did it, but he just happened to help Zheng Juan.
This is what you call a lucky accident.
...
In the afternoon, just as it was time for work, an announcement came over the loudspeaker of the Institute of Chinese Materia Medica.
notify:
An investigation has revealed that Ma Wencai, the captain of our disciplinary team, caused a very serious negative impact by making unfounded accusations and abusing his power.
After deliberation by the Party Committee, it has been decided to remove him from his position as the head of the disciplinary inspection team, require him to make a profound self-criticism, and send him to a rural experimental field for reform and learning, in order to observe his future performance.
Furthermore, we hope that other comrades will learn from this incident!
notify:
...
The announcement was broadcast three times in a row, and a burst of silvery laughter came from the laboratory.
Zheng Juan was completely relieved, and this announcement could be considered a final conclusion to the matter.
Ma Wencai suffered a terrible misfortune, while she remained unscathed, all thanks to Director Sun.
Meanwhile, Ma Wencai was sitting alone in the solitary confinement cell, writing a self-criticism.
Even now, he still doesn't know which powerful figure he has offended, or why he is always the one who suffers misfortune.
As evening fell, Ning Xiaowei rode her bicycle back to the entrance of the courtyard, humming a cheerful tune.
The three children were playing in the yard when they saw their mother come home and immediately gathered around her happily.
"Mom, Mom, you're off work."
"Oh! My little darling, Mommy's off work."
Ning Xiaowei happily pushed the stroller and led the children into the yard.
Seeing that his granddaughter-in-law seemed to be in a good mood today, the grandfather asked her a question out of curiosity.
"Xiao Wei! What happy event happened today?"
"It's nothing serious, Grandpa. I was just thinking about some happy things that happened at work."
What happy things could happen at work?
"Then let me tell you about it."
After parking her bicycle, Ning Xiaowei began to recount her experiences at work that day.
After hearing this, Grandpa gave Ma Wencai a severe scolding.
This means that some people, once they have power, forget who they are.
After about the time it takes to smoke a cigarette, Sun Zhengguo also returned home.
Ning Xiaowei, of course, immediately asked about what had happened at work.
"Zhengguo, did you say something to our director? You have no idea, something almost happened today."
"Oh! Tell me, what almost happened?"
Sun Zhengguo casually handed the bag to his eldest son and told him to take it back, then sat down on a bench in the yard.
Next, Ning Xiaowei spoke while Sun Zhengguo listened.
Only after listening to the whole story did Sun Zhengguo finally break into a big smile.
He never expected that his unintentional act would save Zheng Juan.
"By the way, Zhengguo, our Director Xie also said to give you his regards."
Hearing his wife's words, Sun Zhengguo understood that Director Xie was subtly reminding him to owe him a favor.
This is commonly known as owing someone a favor.
But it's not a big deal; we can just repay him next time.
"By the way, honey, I've helped you out today, so how are you going to thank me?"
As he spoke, Sun Zhengguo revealed a wicked smile, his eyes fixed intently on a certain part of Ning Xiaowei's body.
As a seasoned driver and bedmate, Ning Xiaowei instantly understood that look.
She spat lightly, turned around and walked into the house. She didn't dare to accept the beast's demands at all.
However, she couldn't refuse to fight either, so Sun Zhengguo took it as his consent and followed her into the house.
Of course, this is just a mealtime, and the two of them are not doing anything inappropriate, so please don't take it personally, haha!
