Director Lin was very interested in biogas power generation and immediately waved his hand, "Okay, I'll give you two generators. When the time comes, I'll have the comrades at the power plant help you lay the wires."
Secretary Chen was dumbfounded. Was this thing done?
After Director Lin left, word spread throughout the commune that Shen Annian wanted to use biogas to generate electricity.
What is biogas?
I heard that it is a gas produced by composting feces, wheat straw and hay in the fields.
Can biogas really generate electricity successfully?
I don’t know.
No one had ever heard of biogas, so many people thought Shen Annian was messing around.
Especially Sister Yang, when she saw Director Lin call Shen Annian over for questioning, she felt scared and sad.
She was worried that Shen Annian would mention her affairs in front of the director and affect her future.
I felt sad because I had been working in the commune for so many years, but I had never had the chance to meet Director Lin alone.
But Shen Annian had only been in the commune for a short time, yet she was already receiving such attention from Director Lin.
Watching Shen Annian chatting and laughing with others, her heart felt like it was soaked in a vinegar jar, sour inside and out.
“Everyone can talk big, but the key is to be able to produce results.
How can electricity be generated by using manure and straw? If it were really that simple, why has our commune not had electricity for so long?
She was the only one who figured out something that many experts couldn't think of. She really thought that everyone was a fool and she was the only smart one.
In order to please the leader, some people say such irresponsible words. Now they are trying to please the leader and get him to do this and that.
If we mess things up, not only will we betray the trust of our leaders, but our entire commune might even be implicated."
She seemed to be talking to herself, but her voice was loud enough for her colleagues around her to hear clearly.
Everyone looked a little doubtful.
Although what Sister Yang said was a bit harsh, it was the truth.
Director Lin attaches so much importance to biogas power generation, but no one knows whether it will be successful.
If it succeeds, it will naturally be a great achievement.
But what if something goes wrong and the boss blames me? What should I do then?
Shen Annian took in everyone's expressions. It didn't matter if they didn't believe her. Their attitude had no effect on what she was going to do.
But Sister Yang will not let her off so easily this time.
She looked around the room and said calmly, "I know everyone has doubts in their hearts. This is a normal reaction to something you haven't seen before.
As for what Sister Yang said, that I did this on purpose to please my boss, I don’t agree with that.
How can I build a biogas digester just to please the leaders? It’s to benefit the people.”
She paused, her eyes cold and steady as she looked at Sister Yang.
"Sister Yang is a veteran cadre of the commune, so why do you always have to think about her work style in everything?
When I first started working in the commune, you said that I used improper means to bribe Secretary Chen so that I could enter the commune.
This time, you are questioning whether Director Lin agreed to build a biogas digester because I coaxed him into agreeing with a few words.
Sister Yang, do you think that leaders are all incompetent, incapable of distinguishing right from wrong, and foolish people who always love flattery?
"When did I ever say that?"
Sister Yang's face was pale and her lips were trembling, as if she would faint at any moment.
But her appearance did not arouse any sympathy from Shen Annian.
She will never show sympathy to anyone who harbors ill will towards her.
"You didn't say that, but isn't that what you meant?
Didn't you just say that I made Director Lin happy and tricked him into taking the things down? Aren't you questioning whether he is a fool?
Don't try to deny it, everyone in the office heard it, and words spoken are like spilled water, so you can't just deny it."
When the colleagues in the office heard this, they quietly stepped back and pretended to be busy with their own work.
Who is not afraid of getting burned?
Although Shen Annian's words were a bit far-fetched, they did make sense.
After careful consideration, it seems that what Sister Yang said really does have that meaning.
Sister Yang was so angry that she almost fainted.
She really wanted to tear Shen Annian's mouth apart.
Besides confusing right and wrong and spreading rumors, what else can she do?
"You're only good at talking. Working in the commune requires more than just talking."
"Sister Yang, I'm not just good at talking; I also have some skills.
Do you dare to bet with me that if I can't generate electricity using biogas, I will voluntarily leave the commune.
But if I succeed, you will resign and never work in the commune again. Do you dare?"
After hearing what she said, Sister Yang's face lost all color.
How could she dare to make this bet?
She could retire in eight more years, and if she left the commune now, the rest of her life would be ruined.
But in front of so many people, could she not accept it? How would everyone look at her in the future?
She considers herself the big sister in the office and will not allow such a situation to happen.
Besides, she had never heard of a biogas tank.
She didn't believe that Shen Annian, at such a young age, could understand so much.
When everyone heard that she had made such a big bet, they all advised her to give up.
Chen Anyian glanced at the people who were trying to smooth things over, and said in a joking tone: "Sister Yang just said that to me, why didn't anyone speak up for me?
Now I want to make a bet with Sister Yang. The bet is fair, so why are everyone telling me to give up?
I know Sister Yang is popular, but I didn't expect mine to be so unpopular. Not only was I slandered, but I can't even get justice for myself."
Everyone's faces turned red and blue after what she said. She was really a thorn in the side. Everyone was doing this for their own good, but she didn't appreciate it at all.
Forget it, let them not say anything and just let them make trouble on their own.
Shen Anyian looked at Sister Yang, "Sister Yang, what do you think? Do you dare to bet with me?"
Sister Yang said angrily, “We can gamble, but we are all government officials and we can’t treat our work like a joke.
How about this, if that biogas digester can really generate electricity, I will give you half a year's salary.
If you lose, you have to give me half a year's salary and make a self-criticism at the meeting, admitting your mistakes."
She always remembered the humiliation she suffered when she made self-criticism at the meeting, and this time she must make Shen Annian taste that humiliation.
"Okay, but I think the stakes could be higher so people can remember the lesson better. How about a year's salary?"
Sister Yang was reluctant to give up her one-year salary, but when she thought that if she won, she would get her one-year salary, about 300 yuan.
No, not "if I win", she will definitely win this time.
"Okay, I'll bet with you."
Shen Annian immediately got paper and pen, wrote a note of the bet, signed his name in the presence of all his colleagues, and handed the note to Sister Yang.
Sister Yang looked at the note and frowned.
