Secretary Chen seemed not to notice the tension on Sister Yang's face. He picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.
After placing the teacup on the table, he looked at Sister Yang, "Comrade Suyun, do you know why I want to keep you here?"
Sister Yang looked a little uncomfortable. "Is it about the monument?"
Secretary Chen smiled and said, "Comrade Suyun, you are also a veteran revolutionary. I want to ask you, do you really disagree with building the monument?"
Yang Suyun's face tightened. "Our commune really has no money. The finance department can't allocate that much money..."
"Our commune is poor, and our comrades were even poorer before. But no matter how poor we are, we must not forget our roots."
His words were a bit harsh, and Sister Yang blushed immediately, "Secretary, that's not what I meant. I participated in the revolution, so of course I know how difficult it was back then.
I'm not against this, I just think it's too big a matter and needs to be discussed slowly."
"You mean you agree with Xiao Shen's opinion?"
"I agree. I agree."
Secretary Chen sighed silently, "Sister Yang, although Xiao Shen is young, she is a good comrade.
In her, I can see the courage of our former comrades to not fear difficulties and to move forward bravely.
However, Xiao Shen is young, and sometimes she's not very tactful in her words and actions, which can easily offend people. You should give her more advice in the future."
Sister Yang's face turned pale in an instant.
He didn't want him to remind Shen An Nian, he was reminding himself.
He knew all the grudges between him and Shen An Nian, and he asked him to let it go and not target Shen An Nian.
"Secretary Chen, I understand."
"That's all right."
"Secretary, I'll be leaving first."
Sister Yang supported herself on the table and stood up, using all her strength to prevent herself from stumbling away in embarrassment.
She really didn't like Shen An Nian, not only because she took her daughter's job, but also because she was too outstanding.
She has some abilities, but she is too sharp and will burn others.
Sister Yang really dislikes such ostentatious people, especially since she had embarrassed herself before.
But such a person was able to escape safely from Deputy Director Zhang's hands and was also highly valued by Secretary Chen. Even if she hated her, she could only bear it.
Be patient, be patient a little longer.
With her personality, she will offend someone one day.
When that day comes, it will be time for her to settle accounts with Shen Annian.
Shen Annian returned to the office and began to write his report.
He Xiaoying knocked on the door and walked in, her eyes a little red and her expression a little excited.
Shen Annian was a little confused when she looked at him like that.
"Xiaoying, do you have something to talk to me about?"
He Xiaoying shook her head. "I came here to tell you that what you said at the meeting just now was so wonderful. I was so moved."
Shen Annian: ...
It turned out that she was expressing her feelings.
"I'm just speaking my mind, so Director He, do you agree with my proposal?"
He Xiaoying nodded vigorously, "I agree, my grandfather is an old revolutionary, and I grew up listening to him talk about war.
Many of the comrades who died, some young and some old, have no families left. If we forget them, no one will remember them."
The young girl rubbed her red eyes and said, "So I think what you are going to do is very meaningful. I support you."
"Since you support me, could you please sign my proposal and let the leaders of the Revolutionary Committee know that this is a joint proposal from us, so they can pay more attention to it."
"Okay, I'll sign."
Chen An Nian blinked and looked at her. "You also know that I don't have a good relationship with other people in the office. Can you help tell everyone to sign the proposal as well?"
He Xiaoying felt like she had dug a hole, but she was still very happy about it.
"Okay, I'll tell everyone and try to get everyone to sign."
"Xiaoying, thank you so much. If this monument can really be built, it will be thanks to you."
He Xiaoying smiled sheepishly, "Don't say that, this is what I should do."
She walked out the door and told everyone what Shen Annian had said, and everyone actively cooperated with her to sign the proposal.
Sister Yang looked at them and felt helpless because she was alone and weak.
Now they all stand on Shen Annian's side, and no one is willing to support him.
She is so powerful. She has only been in the commune for a short time, and the secretary has been protecting her. Now even her colleagues are on her side and against her.
He Xiaoying wanted to talk to her about this, but she saw that Sister Yang's face was very ugly. She didn't know how to start the conversation and wanted to leave with the paper in her hand.
Sister Yang stopped her and said, "Why are you running away when you see me? I want to sign my name too."
He Xiaoying looked at her and smiled awkwardly, but still handed the proposal to Sister Yang.
Sister Yang quickly wrote down her name, but she used too much force when signing, and the tip of the pen almost pierced the paper.
He Xiaoying felt a little complicated when she saw her gloomy face.
A good old man suddenly changed in front of her, which made her feel a little unbelievable.
She picked up the proposal and thanked Sister Yang, "I thank you on behalf of those martyrs."
Sister Yang slowly exhaled and forced a smile, "This is what we should do. As a commune official, we still have the awareness to serve the people."
