Chapter 120 The Moon Over the Past
It wasn't a big deal if Shen Quezhi was taken away for a day or two, but after almost seven days without returning, Wu Li started to panic. She stopped Xie Ning, who was about to leave the armory, and tried to pull him away, but Er Niu stepped in front of Xie Ning, saying, "Director Wu."
Wu Li's face was pale, and her eyes showed a hint of tension. She glanced at Er Niu, then looked around. It was noon, and most people had gone to the canteen for lunch. Xie Ning had been working at the ordnance institute in the mornings and doing research at home in the afternoons.
Therefore, he would go straight home at noon, while Xie Ning's guards were outside the armory.
So now there are only the three of them here. "Director Xie, Quezhi has been taken away for questioning. You and everyone else have seen what kind of person he is. He is a very principled person. Now that he is in trouble, I have to save him. Can you testify?"
Xie Ning knew that Shen Quezhi had a problem, but she didn't know the specifics. So she pretended to be clueless and asked, "What problem could Vice Dean Shen have? Don't worry too much. This review is a basic organizational procedure. Look, no one has contacted you for a talk yet, so there shouldn't be any major problems. You should trust the organization."
With this reassurance, Wu Li breathed a sigh of relief. Yes, if Shen Quezhi really had a problem, then she would also be taken away for investigation. "I was too anxious. I'm sorry, I apologize. I was just grasping at straws in my desperation. It's definitely nothing serious. Several people have been taken away this time, but two of them have returned safely. They both said it was nothing serious, just a routine investigation..."
Watching Wu Li's retreating figure, Erniu blinked, a hint of wariness in her eyes, "Sister Changning, do you think Dr. Shen really has a problem?"
Such a good person.
Xie Ning didn't want to focus her energy on this aspect; such matters were handled by specialists. She had been very busy lately. The Kuomintang's change in its labor policy had led to increasing friction between the two sides, which would definitely cause problems with the previously jointly built arsenal.
It's unclear who swallowed whom between the two sides. Of course, she actively helped her own side, as there were still many people available there. She was careful while working there, poaching people is normal.
While they may not be able to offer higher wages and better conditions here, that applies to management. For the lower-level workers, the benefits are quite good, and the workers have a natural affinity for the Labour Party.
She wasn't mainly recruiting those two types of people, but rather those with key technical skills. The Kuomintang wanted to learn the technology and master the blueprints, so of course they had to send some truly capable people over.
For those people, salary and benefits are certainly important, but improving their own abilities is also very important, after all, it's their livelihood.
Xie Ning extended another olive branch, inviting them to come and learn. She would personally teach them, which would surely tempt many people. There were many talented people among them who were experts in various fields. Xie Ning could not teach them, but that did not prevent her from swaying their hearts.
After all, the Kuomintang (KMT) is becoming increasingly unpopular.
Just as Xie Ning was writing the letter with the intention of digging out a few more people, two security guards came to see her late at night, saying they were assisting with the investigation, but they refused to say anything specific.
Xie Ning immediately thought of Shen Quezhi, who had been taken away, and was even more puzzled. Shouldn't they have asked Wu Li to assist in the investigation? Why did they ask her instead?
Xie Ning was even more bewildered when he saw Zhao Le in the cave dwelling.
