Yan Fugui's mouth is not reliable. He will tell everyone if he knows something.
There is not much entertainment on weekends, and the best entertainment is to get together and chat about gossip.
So Lin Tian’s affairs spread throughout the compound by the afternoon.
"This morning, the director of a grocery store came to see Xiaolin." Yan Fugui said mysteriously.
"Tsk, he must not have gone to work today. Their director came to our house and we'll just have to wait for him to be punished." Jia Zhang said with a sneer while sewing shoe soles.
"You should go away now. People are having a rest today." someone said.
"Uncle, can you tell us what's going on?" Soon someone came over with curiosity.
The people around also pricked up their ears to listen to what Yan Fugui continued to say.
"This morning, the director of a grocery store came to see Xiaolin to do some business, and called Xiaolin "Team Leader Lin." Yan Fugui said.
"Team leader? He doesn't sound like a high-ranking official!" Jia Zhang spoke again, but after she finished speaking, everyone looked at her with contempt. This old lady Jia was quite bad at speaking.
Wang Er's wife in the backyard asked, "What kind of official is your Jia Dongxu?"
"Hahaha." After hearing Wang Er's wife say this, everyone burst into laughter.
"Our Dongxu will definitely be an official in the future! If Lin Tian can be an official, our Dongxu can at least be a factory director!" Jia Zhang said there indignantly because everyone looked down on his son.
"Uncle, please continue." Wang Er's wife was too lazy to pay attention to Jia Zhang.
"Then after Xiaolin sent the man out, I asked him. Xiaolin said that he had been transferred to a higher-level department," said Yan Fugui.
"So he's no longer in the store? It's such a good job! Why was he transferred?" someone sighed.
"What do you know? He must have been promoted. Otherwise, who would leave such a good unit? Didn't you see that the director came to visit today? I heard that these stores will be under Xiaolin's management in the future, so he came to visit us." Yan Fugui said.
Fortunately, Lin Tian was careful when speaking to Yan Fugui. If he had told the truth and it came out of Yan Fugui's mouth, Lin Tian would have become a big leader.
"But it's really a pity that he is no longer in the store. I guess we won't be able to ask him to help us buy things for the New Year this year." The second aunt suddenly said.
"Oh, yes, I have to ask Xiao Lin about this tomorrow!" Yan Fugui was probably so busy thinking about Lin Tian's meal that he forgot about this. It would be a great loss if he couldn't buy the fat meat by then.
"yes."
"yes."
Lin Tian listened to these people talking from afar, and it turned out to be similar to what he thought. Whether he got promoted or not didn't matter to the people in the compound.
It's none of their business, and for them, Lin Tian is still the most affordable in grocery stores, so they can get some bargains more or less.
"Yes, Third Uncle, you must remember to ask about this." said the Second Aunt.
"Don't worry, I'll ask tomorrow. I don't think it's a big problem, but it's still early before the New Year." Yan Fugui said.
"It's early and late, so it's easier to ask. Besides, there's a big difference between here and outside." said the second aunt.
"But I think it's useless to ask." said Wang Er's wife.
"What's wrong?" Yan Fugui asked curiously.
"What's wrong? You haven't bought meat recently? Let me tell you, my mother has been in poor health recently, and I wanted to give her some oily food. I went two or three times but couldn't buy any!" said Wang Er's wife.
"No?" asked the second aunt.
"Yes, you all know that it's hard to buy anything these days. I have to go twice more to try." said Wang Er's wife.
"Indeed, some things have been missing recently, otherwise you would say I was late." said the second aunt.
"What are you talking about?" Liu Haizhong seemed to have just woken up, and when he saw a bunch of people here, he came over.
"It is said that Xiao Lin has become an official and is now Team Leader Lin." said the second aunt.
"What did you say? Xiao Lin is now the team leader?" This news shocked Liu Haizhong. He thought that he was the only one who could be an official in the compound, and everyone else was useless.
"What are you shouting about! You scared me." Wang Er's wife said anxiously.
"Who told you that? That's nonsense. How can he be a team leader?" Liu Haizhong asked in disbelief.
"How can I lie to you? I heard it with my own ears." Yan Fugui said solemnly.
Team leader Liu was unhappy now. He didn't feel like staying any longer and went back to the backyard without saying anything.
Lin Tian also clearly heard Liu Haizhong's shouting in the backyard, so when Liu Haizhong returned to the backyard, Lin Tian specially strolled over to say hello.
"Second uncle, take a stroll!" Lin Tian said with a smile.
"Xiao Lin, are you Team Leader Lin now?" Liu Haizhong asked.
"Well, Second Uncle has heard about it. I am also in charge of three or five people now, just like Second Uncle." Lin Tian said with a smile.
"Hmph, Team Leader Liu, I'm in charge of more than ten people!" Liu Haizhong said arrogantly and turned away.
After Lin Tian saw Liu Haizhong return to the house, he burst out laughing. Liu Haizhong was really interesting. He had to fight for this matter.
In the crowd at the Central Courtyard, Wang Er's wife said, "I've long seen that Xiao Lin is different. He is steady and capable. It's only right that he should be promoted."
"You've done nothing. You've never done anything for my family." Jia Zhang was not happy to hear this. It would have been more like praising Jia Dongxu.
"Okay, when we buy New Year's goods this year, I will tell Xiaolin that your family doesn't need to come together anymore." Wang Er's wife said lightly.
Jia Zhang suddenly became anxious: "Why don't you take my family with you?"
"Didn't you say you didn't need anyone to do things for you?" Wang Er's wife said with contempt.
Everyone in the compound was still waiting for Lin Tian to say something to help this year, so they all echoed what Wang Er's wife said: "Yes, yes, your family doesn't need to join this year, your family doesn't need help from others."
"Bullshit!" Jia Zhang packed up her things in frustration and ran back to the house.
"Hmph." Wang Er's wife snorted and stopped looking at Jia Zhang. She despised people who took advantage of others and didn't say anything nice.
"Our compound has two leaders this time, and it's an honor to say it out." Someone interrupted.
"yes."
"No." The second aunt suddenly retorted.
"What's wrong?" Yan Fugui asked.
"There are three leaders in our compound, and one of them is Guangqi from our family." The second aunt said proudly.
"What? There's only Guangqi in your family. Oh, yes, you also have an older son. He hasn't been back for two years, right?" Yan Fugui didn't know whether he really forgot or was pretending to forget.
In short, this incident made Second Aunt so angry that her face turned black.
