Just moments ago, Director Wang was immersed in the joy and anticipation of becoming the deputy district head, but reality poured over him like a bucket of cold water, sending a chill down his spine.
The important figures Sun Zhengguo mentioned were indeed real people, and he had no doubt about that. After all, Beijing was only so big, and he had some connections; he wasn't some novice.
If this matter is not handled properly, the consequences could be disastrous.
At that time, he may not only lose the competition for deputy district head, but he may even lose his current position as director.
The thought of all this sent a chill down Director Wang's spine.
He knew that the most important task now was to keep Sun Zhengguo calm and handle things well, so that there would still be room for recovery.
"Zhengguo, don't be impulsive. The leaders are busy too. Let's avoid troubling them if we can. How about this, I'll handle this. If you're not satisfied with how it's handled, we'll go talk to the leaders. What do you think?"
This matter cannot be blamed on Director Wang. Since he has promised to give him an explanation, Sun Zhengguo cannot hold a grudge, so he readily agreed.
"Thank you, Uncle Wang. I'll wait at home for good news and hope that you'll stand up for me and let those who spread rumors know that they have to pay the price for their mistakes."
Upon hearing Sun Zhengguo's address, Director Wang's lips twitched involuntarily. This guy's face changed way too quickly!
However, Director Wang also understood the implication: those who spread rumors were to be severely punished.
If the matter is handled to his satisfaction, then everyone is happy; if not, he may still harass the leader.
Now that we understand Sun Zhengguo's meaning, this matter is much easier to handle. The rumor-mongers must be severely punished this time!
Director Wang secretly made a tough decision; for his future, he had to take a gamble.
"Uncle Wang, I'm sorry, I might have used a little too much force when I came in. Should I get someone to fix the door for you?"
Upon hearing this, Director Wang felt an urge to smash Sun Zhengguo to death. He had already promised to help him handle it, so why bring this up again?
Is this self-reproach? Is it because I spoke too harshly earlier?
However, Director Wang couldn't make a scene, so he could only smile and say something.
"It's alright, this door is made of solid wood, it's very sturdy!"
Seeing this, Sun Zhengguo decided to stop while he was ahead. After all, they would run into each other again, and he couldn't afford to offend anyone too much.
"Uncle Wang, I'll go home and wait for your good news. If I was rash just now, please forgive me. A gentleman doesn't hold grudges against a petty person."
Damn it! It was really tough. Finally, I heard a human word.
Director Wang nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand, indicating that Sun Zhengguo could leave.
After the troublemaker left, Director Wang pondered for a moment before picking up the phone on the table and making several calls to arrange things before finally letting out a sigh of relief.
As evening fell, the neighbors in the compound began to leave work, and everyone heard news about Sun Dajiang.
Some expressed regret, while others gloated; in short, opinions were mixed.
The fact that no one from the Sun family came forward to explain only further convinced everyone of the truth of the matter.
The happiest person among them was Liu Haizhong, who had no prejudice against Sun Dajiang.
The key point is that with Sun Dajiang arrested, who else can fill the position of the eldest grandpa in the compound besides him?
When Ning Xiaowei came home from get off work, she also heard such rumors, but she believed her father-in-law would never do such a corrupt and illegal thing.
"Mom, don't listen to those people talking nonsense. I believe Dad isn't that kind of person."
As soon as they entered the main room, Ning Xiaowei comforted Lin Wencui.
"It's okay, Xiaowei. Zhengguo has already analyzed it for me. I'm fine now. But you are pregnant! You can't be affected."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law exchanged some words of encouragement before everyone began to eat dinner.
At this moment, a group of uninvited guests arrived outside the courtyard. The leader was Director Wang, followed by police officers from the local police station and some staff members from the street office.
The large group of more than a dozen people entered the courtyard house in a grand procession, immediately attracting the attention of the residents.
Seeing this, Yan Bugui felt a chill run down his spine. Judging from the hostile look of the newcomers, something big was going to happen in the courtyard tonight!
However, with the mentality that "the author may die but the readers never will," he still greeted them with a smile.
"Director Wang, is there something you need from me?"
"Professor Yan, could you please gather everyone together? We need to hold a large meeting in your department tonight, and everyone must attend."
"Okay!"
Upon receiving Director Wang's instructions, Yan Bugui dared not delay and immediately arranged for his sons to gather people throughout the courtyard.
Upon receiving the notification, the people, knowing that Director Wang was coming in person, all rushed to the Intermediate People's Court.
Liu Haizhong was even more proactive, personally directing operations at the Intermediate Court. He never expected Director Wang to be so accommodating, promoting him to a high-ranking position and even personally attending to his needs.
Are the people in this courtyard afraid?
From this day forward, I will be the top leader of this compound, and this compound will soon enter the Liu Haizhong era.
Just as Liu Hai was still daydreaming, Director Wang and his entourage entered the Intermediate People's Court.
Goodness!
Liu Haizhong was also dumbfounded. Was Director Wang really that helpful?
Not only did he come to show his support, but he also brought along some police officers and armed personnel from the armed forces department.
Liu Haizhong, in his excitement, didn't even see Director Wang's gloomy face, and instead greeted him with a beaming smile.
"Director Wang, I have already arranged the venue and am just waiting for you to come and announce the appointment."
Liu Haizhong's words left a group of people completely baffled. What was going on?
"What appointment?"
Despite Director Wang's unfriendly tone, Liu Haizhong remained oblivious and cheerfully replied.
“I know this is a test from the organization, Director Wang. Don’t worry, as long as I become this old man, I guarantee…”
"Liu Haizhong, how much fake alcohol did you drink last night? What nonsense are you spouting?"
Liu Haizhong was interrupted by Director Wang before he could finish speaking.
Director Wang, who was already furious, was further enraged by Liu Haizhong's incompetence, and his spittle flew everywhere, splattering all over the second-in-command's face.
Liu Haizhong didn't even dare to wipe the spittle off his face. He could only step aside like a grandson, not daring to say another word.
He realized then that he might have misunderstood; this was not an appointment ceremony at all.
Judging from Director Wang's murderous look, it probably won't be anything good. I've been wrongly accused.
"Teacher Yan, please check if everyone is here. Except for the children, everyone else is required."
After reprimanding Liu Haizhong, Director Wang then spoke to Yan Bugui, who was standing to the side.
With the example of the second-in-command before him, Yan Bugui was naturally not going to risk offending him and immediately began to count the number of people.
After a moment, Yan Bugui, having finished counting, spoke cautiously.
"Director Wang, we still need the deaf old lady in the backyard."
Director Wang frowned. She knew this deaf old lady, who might not actually be deaf. She liked to act like an ancestor because of her age, and she was said to be disliked in the courtyard.
"Send a few people, even if you have to carry them out, you have to get them out. I said, everyone must be there tonight."
Several armed men received orders and followed Yan Bugui to the backyard.
The crowd sitting below, seeing this scene, were all too frightened to utter a sound.
What exactly happened tonight?
Judging from this, they'll kill anyone who gets in their way, no one is exempt.
