Chapter 363
Because it was just a scratch, Song Jingzhou was discharged from the hospital the next day.
As for Vice President Zhang, he is old after all, and this shock made him quickly become listless. He will probably need to rest for a long time.
As soon as Song Jingzhou walked into the Engineering Research Institute, he heard discussions coming from inside.
"Fortunately, Vice President Zhang is fine, otherwise, our Engineering Research Institute would have suffered a huge loss."
"Oh, we were so scared. It was too dangerous."
"Yes, there are clear regulations in the Engineering Research Institute that prohibit the random loading of bullets into guns."
"Even if we want to carry out aerial bombing, we still need approval from above."
"Why?"
"Hey, you might not know this since you just came in, but even though blanks don't have bullets, they can still cause varying degrees of injury if fired within five meters."
"Although we often handle weapons and even modify them, we always go to an open shooting range to test firearms. How can we keep guns in an office with so many people coming and going? What if someone is accidentally injured?"
"That's right, this is a bullet, it can kill you!"
"Fortunately, Team Leader Song is lucky."
"I don't know which bastard would do such a wicked thing."
A sarcastic voice rang out, "Don't say anything. Team Leader Song is lucky. Now it's Song Jingzhou who's fine, but Vice President Zhang almost lost his life because of this."
Another voice rang out, "The troops have been investigating for two days, but there's still no conclusion. Everyone is panicking."
"Yeah, a few of us were even called in for individual questioning, and I was really scared."
Almost everyone present was called out for questioning. Thinking about what happened yesterday, everyone's faces looked unhappy.
"Who did this, you say?"
"This is not a simple joke. How is this different from murder?"
"It's definitely not an outsider. Liu Yuliang and Zhang Yue said that when they were cleaning it the day before, there were no bullets in the gun."
"He showed up the next day out of nowhere. I heard that the last person to leave the previous night was Vice President Zhang, and the first people to open the door the next day were also Vice President Zhang and Team Leader Song."
"So, there's no chance for others to do anything!"
"Yeah, if you ask me, it's not certain who did it!"
"Maybe. It's just the thief crying 'stop thief'."
"That's impossible! Who would take such a huge risk and do such a wicked thing? What's their purpose?"
"What's the purpose? Humph, think about it, who does Vice President Zhang trust the most right now? If something happens to him, who will benefit the most and have the best chance of climbing the ladder?"
"From that night until the next morning, no one approached this rifle. Only Vice President Zhang and he were able to handle it."
"Don't think I'm exaggerating. After all, people's hearts are hidden. Who knows what they are thinking?"
"Now that Vice President Zhang has been in trouble, he'll probably have to rest for a long time. This year's commendation meeting will be coming up soon. With our Academy of Engineering's performance this year, we're sure to be in good shape."
"Think about it, if Vice President Zhang isn't here, who will be the one going up on stage to receive the gift?"
...........
Song Jingzhou listened to the discussions inside and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.
The person who has always had bad intentions and is trying to pull public opinion towards himself is none other than Yang Wen's voice.
Song Jingzhou didn't hesitate and pushed the door open with a creak.
When everyone heard the sound of the door being pushed open, they turned around at the same time and saw that it was Song Jingzhou. Their faces looked a little unnatural.
Anyone who talks about others behind their back or says bad things about others and gets caught red-handed will feel guilty.
"Team Leader Song, are you back? Why don't you take a couple more days off?"
"That's right, Team Leader Song, how are you? Are you okay?"
Everyone asked Song Jingzhou politely in a dry voice.
Gossip is gossip, and it's just for fun. In the end, few people really believe that Song Jingzhou loaded the bullet himself.
After all, everyone had eyes and saw how dangerous the situation was yesterday.
"No problem, thank you for your concern."
Song Jingzhou smiled and nodded to several comrades who were asking about his well-being, then returned to his workstation.
Yang Wen was right. This research had reached the final stage. This was the result of his team's repeated research and testing after spending enormous efforts.
Vice President Zhang is on vacation this time. If he doesn't show up, who knows who will benefit from this research in the end.
Although he doesn't care much about performance honors, he will never do anything like doing things to help others!
Song Jingzhou glanced at Yang Wen from Group 2.
At least we can't let those who don't deserve it get a bargain.
Yang Wen, who was beaming with joy just now, became quiet since Song Jingzhou came in, but he still secretly paid attention to the other party's every move.
Seeing him walk up to Vice President Zhang's desk, open the drawer with his key, take out the files and drawings and organize them, he felt depressed.
This country bumpkin is so lucky.
He looked like he was about to die yesterday, but today he is full of energy again.
He thought that no one would organize and submit the summary of this research report, and then he, as the leader of the second group, would be able to take over naturally.
If he accepts it, then how he arranges the signature will depend entirely on his mood.
Although he didn't dare to erase Vice President Zhang's name, it was still possible to add his own name and be listed alongside Vice President Zhang.
Now it seems there’s no hope!
Yang Wen's eyes reflected strong resentment. He was obviously the veteran of the Engineering Academy and had once had his moments of glory. However, this year he was made to look humiliated by this country bumpkin who got in through some unorthodox means.
Thinking about the commendation meeting later, where he might not even get any soup, Yang Wen suddenly felt like his whole internal organs were being fried.
In the eyes of outsiders, he is considered to be a person who follows the prince in the Beijing circle, but he knows it very well in his heart.
Those who are really capable and have rich families look down on him and are unwilling to take him out to play. He is the kind of person who is marginalized. He can be happy for a long time if he helps run errands and makes others happy or gives him a good face.
Of course, this situation is not impossible to change. After all, the circle is basically made up of descendants of military personnel, and everyone still attaches great importance to personal performance and influence in the military.
As long as you are good enough, the prince above you will take a second look at you without you having to lick his hands. After all, no one knows what will happen next, and anyone with ability will always leave a way out.
The prince also needs right-hand men and cannot fight alone.
Recently, he finally managed to make the prince look at him with a higher regard through his personal charm. The authorship of that research report might be the fastest stepping stone for him to prove his worth.
But now, all the efforts are in vain!
How can he not hate it?
