Seeing her husband standing there in a daze, Mrs. Wu already knew the answer in her heart: he must have offended someone he shouldn't have.
But she couldn't criticize too much at this point; she could only offer kind words of advice.
"Old Wu, if all else fails, we should back down. If we wait until they actually make a move, it won't be that simple."
"Alright, that's enough. I know what I'm doing." Director Wu wasn't discouraged. Since the other party was playing their cards right, it meant there was still room for negotiation.
Then he went to the living room, picked up the phone, and dialed the research institute.
When the call was connected, Director Wu was angry and spoke in a very bad tone.
"Sun Zhengguo, what exactly are you trying to do? Is this how you frame state officials?"
"Director Wu, why are you so angry? What are you talking about? I really don't know."
Director Wu was furious after hearing Sun Zhengguo's words.
"You...you...you are shameless and despicable!"
"I can't compare to you."
“I’m going to report you to the organization; you’re framing me.”
"Whatever you want."
...
After a round of verbal sparring between the two, Director Wu was completely exasperated and had no choice but to calm down and negotiate.
“Sun Zhengguo, the matter you mentioned involves too many aspects, I really can’t help you.”
"Director Wu, don't underestimate yourself. I believe you have a way. Here's what I'll do: I'll give you a push. Go check behind your bookshelf; you might find an unexpected surprise."
After saying this, Sun Zhengguo hung up the phone immediately, not giving Director Wu a chance to speak at all. He was just going to see who could outlast whom.
"That bastard, that bastard, how dare he hang up on me? He's a scoundrel..."
Seeing Director Wu's hysterical state, Mrs. Wu did not dare to step forward to ask him anything.
Instead, she waited until her husband had vented his anger before approaching him and speaking cautiously.
"Old Wu, don't get angry. Getting upset is bad for your health. Why don't you just agree to that person's offer? You won't lose anything that way, right?"
"Ugh! I can't swallow this insult from this junior!"
Director Wu is now finally experiencing the pain of being the one who gets persecuted after trying to harm others all day long.
But the path he now faces is putting him in a difficult position.
Help! It will probably be difficult to make progress in the future, and you may even be attacked by some people.
If I don't help, I'll only be doomed, because that guy is elusive and definitely won't let me go.
"No, no, it's behind the bookshelf."
Considering the other party's elusive abilities, Director Wu immediately remembered the other party's suggestion and asked him to look behind the bookshelf.
The couple then rushed to the bookshelf, but their bookshelf was made of walnut wood and was not only large but also very heavy.
The two of them exerted tremendous effort, panting heavily, before finally managing to move a corner of the bookcase. In the middle of the bookcase, a large-character poster lay forlornly on the floor.
Because the gap was too small, Director Wu had to find a clothesline pole to pull the poster out from inside.
The couple, ignoring their fatigue, quickly spread the big-character poster on the table, ready to see what it said.
To everyone's surprise, the next second, Director Wu's face turned bright red, while Mrs. Wu was the complete opposite; she was so angry that her face turned green.
"Well, I knew you old codger had ulterior motives. You're full of energy outside, but you wilted as soon as you get home. Turns out you've got a vixen on the side."
"No, no, no, honey, this is all slander. Director Li and I are absolutely innocent. You have to believe me!"
However, Director Wu's explanation was not convincing at all.
Because this big-character poster contained very detailed information, as follows.
On a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, he and Director Li Hongxia hid in the office and secretly did that filthy thing. It wasn't until half an hour later that Director Li came out of the office, her clothes disheveled.
On another day, in the same office, the two secretly met again.
This time, the content is even more explosive, describing some details as if someone had witnessed it firsthand.
If it were only these facts, Mrs. Wu wouldn't believe it; at most, she would only have some doubts.
However, there is even more shocking content here. Some of the detailed descriptions are one thing, but the most terrifying thing is the physical characteristics.
Madam Wu didn't know where Li Hongxia had moles, but she knew all about the little-known features of her man.
So, if you say that this big-character poster is completely fake, she simply doesn't believe it!
"You're talking nonsense! It's written here with real details, how can you expect me to believe that you still care about me?" Mrs. Wu was instantly extremely aggrieved, and tears streamed down her face.
"Wife, I swear to God, please believe me! If I have an affair with that Director Li, may I die a horrible death, may I be struck by lightning, okay?"
Director Wu had no choice but to first make a solemn vow to appease his wife.
After all, the wife's family members are not ordinary people, and it's not easy to offend them.
Hearing her husband make a solemn oath, Mrs. Wu stopped crying, but she was not entirely convinced.
"Alright, I'll believe you for now. Please explain how outsiders know what's written here."
"This...?" Director Wu was also at a loss. How could he know where Sun Zhengguo got this information from?
"No, no, honey, do you think it's possible that they had someone spying on me while I was taking a shower outside?"
Upon hearing this explanation, Madam Wu was also taken aback. "What about Li Hongxia?"
"They must have been monitored too!" Director Wu said with certainty, feeling that he had found the truth.
However, he didn't know that Sun Zhengguo had no time for such things.
The characteristics he possessed were obtained by Sun Zhengguo through mental scanning, while the characteristics of Li Hongxia were entirely fabricated.
Although it was somewhat unethical to do this, after this incident, Director Wu had thoroughly experienced Sun Zhengguo's ruthlessness and decided to get the matter done as soon as possible.
Let's give this plague god some face, so we don't have to live in constant fear.
After finally calming his wife down, Director Wu hurriedly returned to the school.
As soon as he entered the office, he saw the bookshelf and, as if possessed, instinctively moved it aside.
Unexpectedly, there really was a big-character poster later on, except this time the female lead was different.
However, the content above was truly explosive, making Director Wu's blood boil.
"Hmph! It really is not up to par."
Although he was still somewhat stubborn, he had to admit that this tactic was really effective.
Then Director Wu called Sun Zhengguo again, but this time his tone was much more polite.
"Hello, Director Sun, after a meeting of the school's Party Committee, although Zhang Yiming and others have very serious problems, we have considered that they do have some abilities."
The organization is planning to send them to your institute for reform through labor, which would also be considered a way for them to demonstrate their merit. What do you think?
Upon hearing Director Wu's words, Sun Zhengguo on the other end of the phone laughed.
He had prepared many tactics, but unexpectedly, Director Wu couldn't even withstand the first blow and hastily surrendered.
"Thank you for your concern, Director Wu. Our institute is in dire need of such talent. I wonder when they will be able to come?"
"Within three days, Director Sun. I need time to process this, and I hope you can understand. However, I hope this is the last time."
"Of course, of course. Thank you again, Director Wu. Let's get together somewhere sometime."
When Director Wu heard this, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
But he couldn't do anything about Sun Zhengguo; otherwise, he wouldn't mind killing him.
