The next day, after breakfast, the loudspeaker in the compound blared, its resounding voice instantly shattering the morning tranquility: "Notify everyone to assemble in the square."
The brief words carried unquestionable majesty, echoing in every corner of the compound.
Many people already knew what happened last night. With curiosity glint in their eyes, they excitedly moved their stools and hurried towards the square, fully expecting to watch the excitement.
Today happened to be Sunday, and most people in the compound were at home. For a moment, the square was crowded with people.
Liu Xiulan had brought her two daughters to reserve seats early in the morning. Her steps were brisk, her eyes filled with anxiety, fearing she would miss out if she arrived too late. Of course, the people in the front row were all those who had participated in the incident yesterday.
The Meng Sining family, the Xia family, the Jin family, including Aunt Zhang and others who love to gossip, are all in place at this moment.
Everyone had different expressions, some looked nervous, some were full of curiosity, and some had a hint of guilt.
Political Commissar Jiang, dressed in a neat military uniform, walked onto the stage with an upright posture.
He cleared his throat and spoke in a resonant voice, "Comrades, our compound has always been a united, friendly, and disciplined collective.
On weekdays, everyone helps each other and is as close as a family.
We have always emphasized the need to improve the overall quality of the compound and strengthen safety management. This is not only to maintain order in the compound, but also to ensure that every comrade can work and live in a harmonious and stable environment.
He scanned the audience with a determined gaze and continued, "However, recently, some discordant voices have emerged in the compound, especially the false rumors about Comrades Gu Jingshen and Xia Qiu. These have seriously affected the atmosphere in the compound and damaged the reputation of several comrades."
At this point, Political Commissar Jiang's expression grew serious, and his tone intensified. "Yesterday's investigation has yielded results. We discovered that these false statements were deliberately fabricated and disseminated. This behavior seriously violates the rules and regulations of the compound, and also goes against the ethical standards we have always upheld."
We must not tolerate such things happening and must deal with them seriously to correct the atmosphere.”
When the people in the audience heard this, they began to whisper to each other.
At this time, Shen Qiurong walked onto the stage accompanied by two comrades.
She lowered her head, her face was as pale as paper, her body was trembling slightly, and her eyes were full of fear and regret.
Political Commissar Jiang looked at her and said seriously, "Comrade Shen Qiurong, as an outsider, you didn't abide by the rules of the compound. Instead, you fabricated and spread rumors for your own selfish desires, causing great harm to others. What do you want to say now?"
Shen Qiurong raised her head, her eyes full of tears, and said in a trembling voice: "I... I was wrong. For personal reasons, I did such a foolish thing to Comrade Xia Qiu and Meng Si Ning. I know that my behavior has caused a lot of trouble to everyone and hurt many people. I am willing to accept any punishment and just hope that everyone can forgive me." After that, she lowered her head again, tears constantly sliding down her cheeks.
Political Commissar Jiang nodded slightly and said, "Recognizing mistakes is the first step, but what is more important is to correct them. We hope you can learn from this and strictly demand yourself in the future not to make the same mistake again." Then he looked at the people in the audience and said, "Comrades, this incident has sounded the alarm for us. We must take it as a warning and not believe in or spread rumors in our future lives. If we find someone deliberately fabricating and spreading rumors again, we will deal with it seriously and will not tolerate it." There was a burst of warm applause from the audience, and everyone expressed their agreement.
Political Commissar Jiang continued, "At the same time, we would also like to apologize to Comrades Gu Jingshen, Xia Qiu, and Meng Sining. Due to our negligence, you have been troubled by false rumors. We hope that you can put aside your burdens and continue to contribute to the development of the compound."
Gu Jingshen, Xia Qiu, and Meng Sining stood up and saluted Political Commissar Jiang and the people in the audience to express their gratitude.
Political Commissar Jiang concluded by saying, "Comrades, let us work together to create a more harmonious and beautiful compound. From today on, everyone must hold themselves to higher standards and strive for the development of the compound. We will soon be launching a series of quality-building courses. Those who are leading the participants, please come to the stage and encourage each other."
At this time, several aunts headed by Aunt Zhang, as well as Jin Baoyi, all went on stage. Seeing this, Jiang Tang quickly stood up and followed them up when Liu Xiulan was not paying attention.
When Liu Xiulan saw it, it was too late: "What the hell is she doing? Isn't she ashamed?"
Jiang Mo said, "Mom, there's nothing shameful about this. You're a teacher, are you teaching this class?"
Liu Xiulan held her forehead and replied, "Yes."
On the stage, as Political Commissar Jiang was explaining the whole story of their group's involvement in this incident, Jin Baoyi looked at Jiang Tang and lowered her head and whispered, "What are you doing up here?"
"We share the same hardship. This time, it was me who implicated you."
After hearing this, the aunts snorted, "You still have some conscience."
"Yes, yes. When the time comes, I will go and learn too."
Aunt Zhang said, "Forget it. When the time comes, I'll just give you a bigger discount when I go to your commune to buy things."
"no problem."
Jin Baoyi asked, "What market?"
"Our commune is organizing a market. You can go and have a look when you have time."
"Okay, you all make a promise."
