Zhuang Zhixi arrived at the factory early in the morning and was stopped as soon as he reached the gate.
Zhang Saner grabbed Zhuang Zhixi from the security department, his eyes sparkling like stars, and he said, "Doctor Zhuang, I heard that the toilet in your alley is haunted?"
Zhuang Zhixi's mouth twitched. How many times do I have to explain that I'm not a doctor?
He smiled and said, "I'm not sure about this. I sleep very deeply. You can ask others."
Although he usually gossips a lot, Zhuang Zhixi also knows what to say and what not to say. If he says too much, he will be accused of promoting feudal superstition. He added: "I don't know if it's haunted or not, but when I left this morning, Bai Fendou and Zhou Qun were still fighting each other there."
Zhang San: “What the hell!!!”
He quickly asked, "Fighting each other? What for? Was it because of a woman? Why did I hear that Wang Xiangxiu was also involved? Tsk tsk, this matter has caused so much trouble."
Zhuang Zhixi: "I'm not sure about this either. Why don't you ask someone else? I still have to go to the Propaganda Department, so I won't tell you yet."
"Don't worry, just tell me, I won't tell anyone else."
Zhuang Zhixi: I don't trust your grandma's legs.
He complained in his heart, but smiled and said, "I'm so busy. Oh, by the way, I vaguely heard Zhou Qun calling for the street office this morning, but I don't think it's a good idea to just ask the street office for this matter. Shouldn't our security department be involved? The street office is good at handling some trivial matters, but I don't think they can handle this kind of thing. Besides, although the street office is in charge of our area, they all have work units. Who wouldn't ask the unit? I guess the street office may also push it to the factory? Oh, it's hard to say, who knows who will handle it in the end..."
Zhuang Zhixi sighed.
He smiled and said, "Isn't our security department busy recently? You can come here to stop me and listen to gossip."
Zhang Saner slapped his thigh and said, "Ah! This matter should be handled by our factory security department! How can Zhou Qun ask the street office? Everyone in your compound is from the factory. Zhou Qun and Bai Fendou are also from the factory. How can they ask outsiders to handle it? Isn't this ignoring our security department? I'll go tell our boss! We have to take care of this matter."
He's not here for gossip, gossip or anything like that! Zhuang Zhixi smiled meaningfully, then showed a thoughtful look, nodded and said, "That makes sense. The factory is better than the street. If that doesn't work, a joint investigation is fine. Otherwise, if they investigate clearly and notify the factory directly, the factory will appear passive. After all, they are all factory people."
"That's right!"
Zhang San suddenly became energetic and said, "I'll go find the leader."
Zhuang Zhixi smiled and said, "Maybe you will know more details than me by then. Next time I will ask you what is going on."
Zhang Saner: "Well, I'm better at getting information than you are."
Zhuang Zhixi laughed and scolded: "Just blow it, I'm going upstairs first."
Zhuang Zhixi did not insist and quickly came to the publicity department. He had been busy with this recently. Several skits had been decided, but even though they were decided, they still had to prepare some props. For example, for "White Haired Girl", they had to prepare some scenery; and for "Xiao Erhei Gets Married", they had to prepare some backgrounds. They initially decided to use a pastoral painting as the background.
There were not many of them, and they had to rehearse and prepare props, so one person had to act like two people.
Zhuang Zhixi went upstairs and as soon as he entered the house, he saw several people had already arrived. One of the older women raised her head and asked quickly, "Xiao Zhuang, I heard that your area is haunted?"
Wow! Look how fast the news spreads! Zhuang Zhixi: "How come you are all so well-informed?"
He smiled and teased. Director Song had already entered the factory by then, so he continued, "I hadn't entered the factory this morning yet, but I heard people talking about it when I walked to the factory gate. What's going on? I heard it has something to do with Zhou Qun from the electrician team?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "...I can't say that."
He put his hands together and said, "Wait a minute, brothers and sisters. Zhou Qun has decided to find the security department. You will definitely know the details of what happened. To be honest, I don't know what happened last night. I didn't dare to go out at first. You also know that a handsome guy like me always has to be more careful."
"Pfft! How can you be so shameless?"
"That's right."
"No, don't hide it. We are all working together, so just say a little."
Everybody started talking at once and urging everyone to hurry up. Actually, sometimes, it wasn't really Zhuang Zhixi who was nagging, but it was a means of interpersonal communication. Nowadays, everyone is not in charge of their own business, but any little thing will be spread widely.
Everyone says it, but you don't say anything, so it will be difficult for you to integrate into the environment.
Sometimes sharing secrets and gossip together can make it easier to integrate into a new environment.
Of course, too much is as bad as too little. Some things cannot be said. If you say them, people will look down on you. So Zhuang Zhixi prevaricated for a while before saying what he could say: "I don't know if it's haunted. They were all screaming like that. I didn't think of checking it out at first. But then Jiang Lu said it was Zhou Qun outside and rushed out. We were worried so we followed him out to check it out."
"So...are there really ghosts?"
"You are talking nonsense. There are no ghosts in this world."
"Don't talk, listen to Xiaozhuang." Director Song's eyes widened. He scolded and urged Zhuang Zhixi: "You speak."
Zhuang Zhixi: "I didn't see any ghosts, it was just a bit foggy, I don't know the details, but Zhou Qun was so scared that he shagged his pants."
“Fuck!”
"Oh my god, gross."
"Is this a real man from Beijing? Why is he so cowardly?"
Zhuang Zhixi continued, "Later, Zhou Qun's mother didn't want to pay to send him to the hospital, so we broke up and went home. But this morning, Zhou Qun and Bai Fendou started fighting again. When I left the house, they were still fighting."
"What are they doing? Why are they fighting?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "It's just a disagreement. After all, everyone is very angry."
"What's the matter? You must know the answer. Just tell me. Look at you, you only tell half of the answer and keep the other half."
Zhuang Zhixi smiled bitterly, "Some things are hard to say. They involve other female comrades. If I say them, won't I be like a gossipy woman? Don't worry, I guess the security department will come over soon. By then, they will have more information than me. I actually only know a little bit, and I'm afraid that if I say something wrong, it will have a bad impact on people's reputation."
"Don't worry...you..."
Director Song: "Okay, don't embarrass Xiaozhuang, let's get back to work. We all know what's important and what's not. Those gossips are just small matters. We still have to hurry up and deal with the Labor Day. By the way, Lao Huang, we can start preparing the background."
Old Huang nodded: "I know, but I can't handle it alone."
Director Song immediately looked at other people, and those caught in his sight quickly looked away and did not meet Director Song's gaze.
Director Song: "Xiao Li, follow Lao Huang..."
Xiao Li said bitterly, "Director, I have three programs here, and I am too busy practicing them. I really don't have any extra energy. You see..."
Director Song thought for a moment and said, "That's really not possible. Xiao Wang, you go."
Xiao Wang was not happy either. She pouted and said, "I have two shows here too. I can't even memorize the long lines in Xiao Erhei..."
Director Song: "Then..."
Everyone dodged quickly, as no one wanted to go anyway.
This performance is for everyone to see, and it can show up, which is very respectable. But this kind of behind-the-scenes work is thankless. Lao Huang is also a bit rigid and weird, so naturally everyone doesn't want to be with him.
Song Zhuhe didn't know this. He sighed in worry and his eyes fell on Zhuang Zhixi. His eyes lit up and he said, "Xiao Zhuang, didn't you come here yesterday to prepare the scenery? I see you have some experience. It's perfect. You can work with Lao Huang to draw the background for the skit."
Before Zhuang Zhixi could say anything, Xiao Li said, "Yes, yes, yes, I think Xiao Zhuang can do it."
Xiao Wang also nodded in agreement: "Yes, Xiaozhuang is mainly responsible for hosting and singing together. There is no need to memorize the lyrics. It is appropriate for him to help."
"I think so."
"I think so."
We all agree that it would be a good idea for Zhuang Zhixi to go.
In fact, it doesn't matter who goes and who doesn't. As long as you are not a partner with Lao Huang, it doesn't matter who goes.
Let him be!
Everyone said so, Zhuang Zhixi did not refuse, but just said: "I can do it, a brick of revolution can be moved wherever it is needed. But I don't have much experience in painting, I only drew blackboard newspapers in school, is it okay?"
"Why not? You already know a lot." Director Song said firmly, "Many people have never even drawn a blackboard newspaper, and they are not as good as you. Okay, you will do this."
Zhuang Zhixi smiled and said, "Since the leader has arranged it, then fine, I'll go over. Uncle Huang, if you have anything to say, I'll help you as long as you don't mind my clumsy hands."
Old Huang looked wooden and said, "It's OK as long as he's a human being."
Zhuang Zhixi: “…”
He smiled.
Actually, he was not very proficient, but he had made blackboard newspapers when he was in school, so he knew a little bit. He probably couldn't be the main force, but he could help out. Old Huang was the only one in their propaganda department who could draw and make props, so Zhuang Zhixi could follow him.
Old Huang is the main force. He is almost fifty years old this year and speaks sternly: "Okay, come with me, let's find a bigger place."
Zhuang Zhixi: "OK."
He followed behind Lao Huang like a little eunuch.
"Teacher Huang, do you think we need anything else? I'll go get it ready." Zhuang Zhixi was very clear on one point. He was only here to help, not a formal employee of the Propaganda Department. So he would not specifically take over other people's duties. No matter what the matter was, he would listen more, watch more, learn more, and do more, and express fewer opinions.
This is not an era where opinions can be expressed casually.
Moreover, it is a rare opportunity to learn from Lao Huang, so he is not shy about it. Although everyone now thinks this thing is useless and is unwilling to help Lao Huang, Zhuang Zhixi is willing to do it.
His point of view is that learning a little is better than learning a little. Who knows when it will come in handy.
In short, it's definitely worthwhile to learn something.
He followed Lao Huang happily. Lao Huang looked at his happiness and raised his eyebrows in surprise. You know, writing and painting are not good things now. Intellectuals are not valued anymore. It is rare for Zhuang Zhixi to maintain this attitude.
He originally thought that this young man was a bit slick, but seeing how enthusiastic he was, he felt that he was more youthful and outspoken, and not really slick and experienced. If he was really slick and experienced, he wouldn't be so happy to see others unwilling to come.
The two of them went to an empty warehouse as the background. Old Huang glared at him and said, "No one likes to come here. You are the only one who is stupid."
This time, it was not only Zhuang Zhixi who came to help, but some people avoided the calls and almost shrank into their clothes. However, Zhuang Zhixi, who was a tall man, just stood there and did not refuse at all.
Zhuang Zhixi smiled and said, "I'm here to help anyway, it doesn't matter what I do. Besides, instead of practicing the chorus with them, I think it's good to help you more. I can also learn from you. People in our factory said that you are very good at painting."
This is true. Over the years, almost all the blackboard newspapers in the factory have been made by Old Huang alone.
Both his calligraphy and painting are quite good.
Zhuang Zhixi didn't know whether he was a master of calligraphy and painting, but he probably wasn't.
But ordinary people like them don't know how to judge whether something is a masterpiece. They think it is very "real", and that's good. After all, how many people can be so real? Zhuang Zhixi smiled and leaned over and said, "If you have any instructions, just let me know. I want to see it."
Old Huang: "That's fine, but let's make a window first."
Zhuang Zhixi: “Huh?”
Old Huang: "Yang Bailao's house needs a window to look real, like the snow falling outside."
Zhuang Zhixi didn't really know how to do it, but he spread his hands and said, "I'll listen to you. Just tell me what to do!"
Old Huang glanced at Zhuang Zhixi and nodded: "Okay, let's go, I'll tell you about it."
Zhuang Zhixi may not be the most popular among his peers, but he is quite popular with teachers. Why? He is studious! He is serious! He is sincere! He asks questions when he doesn't understand!
Anyway, these are all things that can really hit the teacher's spot.
Zhuang Zhixi got along well with his teachers when he was in school, and now he and Lao Huang quickly became close friends. Others thought that Lao Huang was a rigid and ruthless person who should not be sidelined. Zhuang Zhixi was not afraid of him, and they had a good chat.
Old Huang patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are a good kid. You learn things quickly."
Zhuang Zhixi said happily, "This is also because of your good teaching."
The two were very busy, oh no, the entire Propaganda Department was busy. Director Song cursed: "What's wrong with this old man Bai? He is playing Yang Bailao, how dare he not be present for rehearsal."
"I asked him, he didn't ask for leave, but many people in his hospital didn't come today."
Director Song realized belatedly, oh no, that ghost thing! He said, "What are these things all happening at the same time? Okay, you guys practice first, I'll go to the security department to take a look."
Okay.
It turns out that this person is also extremely curious.
He went downstairs quickly, and Xiao Wang said with a smile: "Director, you got the first-hand information, please tell us quickly!"
Director Song said seriously, "What do you mean by first-hand information? I'm here to see why Old Man Bai was absent from work for no reason. I'm not here to care about those bullshit. You all need to rehearse well. Don't always be so frivolous. We need to be serious."
"Okay, okay."
Everyone was still smiling and Director Song went downstairs quickly.
Sure enough, when he arrived at the security department, he found that most of the people were gone. He coughed and said, "Where is your section chief?"
Wang Ermazi stepped forward immediately and said, "Director Song, our section chief is out with his men. Our factory workers are involved in some feudal superstitions. Our security department has no choice but to take on the responsibility."
Upon hearing this, Director Song nodded and said, "Oh, I want to ask your section chief something. You said this... Well, tell me which courtyard it is and I'll go directly there."
Wang Ermazi: “…”
Don't think I don't know, you just want to find out about this and then go and watch the fun.
He said quickly, "It's Xinghuali. Yard No. 44, Xinghuali. Just go there and look for it!"
"good."
Director Song hurried out and ran over there immediately.
Wang Ermaizi said enviously: "Another one comes to watch the fun, I still have to go to work, ah."
Director Song was in a hurry. As soon as he left the factory, he met Deputy Director Zhang who was riding a bicycle. Deputy Director Zhang asked, "Mr. Song, what are you doing?"
Director Song coughed and said righteously, "Our Propaganda Department has been very busy recently for the May Day holiday. Didn't we second a few employees to help? It's ok that the one who plays Yang Bailao didn't go to work today, but he didn't even ask for leave. I'll go over to see what's going on. I, the White-haired Girl, can't wait."
Deputy Director Zhang's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself, why don't you just say you wanted to go and watch the fun? Why are you making up so many excuses? Tsk, you're really not honest. You're really not honest at all.
However, he spoke in official language, saying, "Look, we are all working wholeheartedly for the factory, and I am no exception. Many people in the factory were absent from work today without reason, and I heard that some disputes were involved, and the security department has gone there. As the deputy director in charge, I can't let this kind of thing develop and know nothing about it. I have to go over to see what's going on. If the director and other leaders in the factory ask about it, I can explain it clearly. The the most worrying thing is that the word will be passed on, and even the best words will be said in detail."
“Yes, yes, yes.”
The two people looked at each other and understood each other very well.
The two of them rode their bikes towards the compound.
At this time, in the No. 44 courtyard of Xinghuali, which was also the courtyard where the Zhuang family lived, many people were not at work. It was not because they were absent from work without reason, but because they did not get enough rest last night, so they were inevitably a little slow in the morning.
If you hurry forward, you can get to the factory on time.
But no one was in the mood for this, and what's more, the security department actually showed up.
Yes, the security department is here.
Well, this is a good opportunity to ask everyone not to leave yet. We have to investigate the matter.
I have to say that Zhou Qun and Bai Fendou are truly warriors among warriors. The two of them kept fighting back and forth until the security department arrived, and they hadn't even dispersed yet. Both of them were seriously injured.
Zhou Qun was beaten so badly that his skin was bruised and his face was swollen, and he emitted a faint foul odor.
As for Bai Fendou, he was the absolute winner in the fist-and-kick fight with Zhou Qun, the kind of winner who takes the cake. But Zhou Qun had two helpers, an old lady and a young wife, who used the long-lost Nine Yin White Bone Claws to scratch him into potato shreds.
When Chief Liu of the Security Department saw this, he quickly said, "Pull them apart! Pull them apart quickly! What on earth are you two doing? What are you two grown men doing?"
To be honest, even Zhou Qun panicked when the security department arrived, and Zhou Li was even more panicked than him.
Zhou Li, she doesn't get along with the security department, so there is a shadow on her.
Before the security department asked her anything, she sat down on the ground with a look as if her father had died.
Of course, it is normal for her to die at her age.
Bai Fendou was the one who was showing off. Why? He was from the security department. He knew their chief. Although he had a stern face, he was still very protective of his people. His own people helped each other.
No matter how everyone gets along, their security department remains united in its external relations.
He immediately said, "Chief Liu, you are here. This boy, this boy, is having an affair with his master's wife."
Sizzle!
These words were like a drop of oil dropped into a hot pan, which made everyone gasp.
Bai Fendou: "He's still having affairs with other old ladies, all of whom are as old as his mother."
Ah this!
The security department heard some messy rumors, but they came here before they could find out the truth. They were shocked. Chief Liu was well-informed. He had served in the army near the border and had heard of all kinds of strange people and things.
But even though he was knowledgeable and experienced, he opened his mouth in surprise and was stunned.
"Bai Fendou, you are f**king accusing me!"
Zhou Qun was furious: "Stop talking nonsense here. Aren't you having an unclear relationship with the young widow?"
Wang Xiangxiu saw that the pressure was on her side and immediately became energetic. She used her best acting skills in her life, biting her lips, crying and shouting: "Zhou Qun, you bastard, you falsely accused me, and now you still say this to me. I am a widow, how can it be easy for me? I work hard every day to calculate the days and live a clean life, and you actually falsely accuse me like this, I won't live anymore..."
She ran straight towards the wall, shouting, "I'll die in front of you!"
At the critical moment, Bai Fendou screamed, rushed over quickly and hugged Wang Xiangxiu, saying: "Sister Xiu, why are you so stupid? How can you commit suicide for such a rumor? If you die, what will happen to Jin Lai and the others!"
He hugged Wang Xiangxiu's waist and said, "You can't die! You can't!"
Zhao Guihua was standing not far away and watching, oh!
This play is too exaggerated.
Zhao·Experienced·Osmanthus, she felt at the first moment that this play was really exaggerated, that is, if you rely on this to touch porcelain, you will definitely be beaten. But at this time, everyone still saw less, and they were all shocked by Wang Xiangxiu.
Everyone expressed their opinions: "Xiu'er, don't do anything stupid. Why give up yourself for a little villain?"
"That's right. Your children are still young. Look who has three fat boys. Your good days are still ahead of you. Don't do anything like this."
"We believe in you. We definitely believe in you. Don't be so reckless. If you leave, what will happen to you, the old and the young?"
"That's what I meant." Aunt Su ran over crying, hugged Wang Xiangxiu and said, "Xiu'er, if you leave, Mom will not live either. I will take the children with you. No one can bully people like this. They want to force the two widows in our family to death..."
"Mom... I'm in a difficult situation. There are always a lot of troubles around a widow!"
The two women hugged each other and cried bitterly.
Everyone looked at this in dismay and said, "Zhou Qun, look at what you are doing."
"That's right, why do you have to bully a widow? What kind of person are you?"
"What kind of character can this be? How can a person who steals the master's wife be a good person? Chief Liu, you don't know that this person is very capable. He seduced the master's wife and then abandoned her. Even the female ghost came to find him..."
Section Chief Liu scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, there are no ghosts in this world."
He looked at Zhou Qun and said, "You too, what's the point of bullying a woman? If you have the ability, go fight with a man..." After that, he looked at Bai Fendou's colorful face, groaned, and said, "It's not okay for you to fight with a man. In a harmonious society, we should unite our neighbors, and fighting is not advisable."
He put his hands on his hips and said, "Tell me what's going on. Okay, your damn news has been spreading all over the place since early morning. You deliberately don't want the factory to have a good reputation, right?"
Zhou Qun immediately said with a smile: "Chief Liu, I am innocent in this matter."
Zhou Qun was a very smart man. He knew that he couldn't hide the fact that he saw a ghost last night. With so many people watching, no one could hide it from him. So he had to take the initiative.
So he planned to find the street police early in the morning. The people in charge of handling such matters in the street were all quite old, and the old men and women were somewhat superstitious. When the time came, they could just fool them and it would be over.
But he never expected that before he even reached the street, the security department showed up uninvited.
This matter is difficult to handle.
He told the old men and women on the street that he did not see a ghost, but someone was playing tricks on him. With such an excuse, even if the old men and women knew it was an excuse, they would make a big deal out of a small matter.
What if it doesn’t work? They don’t believe that there are really people playing tricks, so they don’t want to do useless investigations.
They also believe that ghosts really exist, but they don't have the ability to catch ghosts, so they certainly don't want to seek bad luck.
At that time, they would definitely follow his words and say that someone was playing tricks to avoid feudal superstition. Then they would investigate, but whether they could find out was another matter. After a while, the matter was closed. Who would remember it after a long time?
Do they dare to say that there really is a ghost? No, they don't want to be associated with such a burden.
This is what Zhou Qun had in mind.
What he calculated was not the schemes, but the human heart.
But now that the security department is here, it’s a different story.
This depends on the composition of the security department. There are basically two types of people in the security department. One is the retired soldiers who have been assigned to work, and the other is the children of the factory workers. They almost never recruit people from outside.
As for these two types, the former all come from places like the army, and nine out of ten of them will not believe in ghosts.
The latter are all young people. Even if they believe in ghosts, they will probably try it out just to watch the fun.
If he insisted that someone was playing tricks, they would definitely investigate. And was Zhou Qun worried about whether it was a real ghost or a fake one? He wasn't! What he was worried about was what he said yesterday, and whether someone heard those words.
The more he investigated, the more these words spread, and the more difficult his life became.
And the more details we investigate, the more likely he is to be trapped.
Zhou Qun was in a bit of a dilemma and didn't know what to do.
"Zhou Qun, what are you thinking about? Just tell us what you are asked. Don't think about deceiving the Security Department or the organization." Chief Liu saw that he was in a daze and immediately said seriously.
Zhou Qun: "I am really innocent..."
"Then tell me, what happened? This matter has become so serious, do you still think you can keep it secret?" Section Chief Liu: "Tell me about it."
Zhou Qun: “…”
He hesitated for a moment and said, "I had a stomachache yesterday and was about to go to the toilet when I heard someone talking. It sounded like a man and a woman were having an affair. I was also curious and wanted to see what was going on, but it turned out to be a ghost. Of course, I don't believe in ghosts. I think someone was deliberately playing tricks to scare me."
He was very angry: "I fainted from shock, but the neighbors not only ignored me, they just left. You say that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, is this how they do things? This morning, my mother woke me up and we supported each other to go home. As a result, I was already in a miserable situation, and Bai Fendou came out to pick a fight. You are all from the security department, you can't cover up for each other. Bai Fendou is too inhumane."
What he said were naturally his own ideas.
But others couldn't let him say that, for example, Aunt Wang was the first to speak.
She said, "Section Chief Liu, I am the manager of this courtyard. My last name is Wang, and my husband is Chef Li. If Zhou Qun said that, I would have something to say. We don't know if someone is playing tricks, but when we went out, Zhou Qun was the only one lying at the door of the toilet. He said that we don't care about the feelings of neighbors. I want you to ask everyone carefully, not just our courtyard, but also ask those who have watched from the surrounding courtyards. Am I the one who doesn't care about the feelings of neighbors? I have wanted to send him to the hospital several times. But how did Jiang Lu talk to me? She told me to get out! How did Aunt Zhou talk? She didn't want to take money for her son's matter, and wanted us to pay for it. Everyone knows what his family conditions are. His family can't pay, so what can the rest of us pay? Besides, why should we give her money? Because she is thick-skinned, because she can make a fuss? Not only does she want us to pay, but she also scolds us for not helping her and cutting off our descendants. You say, is this something that people can say? There are more unpleasant things, I don't want to say them. You can visit and ask yourself."
Aunt Wang is a manager of the courtyard after all, and she is also a person who knows how to handle things. Her words are well-reasoned and well-founded.
But her words made Section Chief Liu laugh. Section Chief Liu looked at Zhou Li and said jokingly, "Auntie, you are still as mean as ever for decades!"
Zhou Li's face had drooped and turned dark, and she didn't dare to provoke Section Chief Liu.
This Section Chief Liu is not the one who collected Huazi a few days ago.
Section Chief Liu, the actual section chief, was on a business trip a few days ago and did not make it to the scene immediately, but he still caught up with the incident when he came back. He realized how irrational and vicious this old woman, known as Zhou Li, was.
Later, Jiang Lu came to take the people away, and he was the one who signed the document to let them go.
So, Zhou Li had really met this Section Chief Liu.
Section Chief Liu snorted and continued, "Look at you. Your son hasn't even become the factory director yet. Why are you acting like a tyrant again?"
The rumors about the factory director spread widely.
"I-I didn't!"
Zhou Li was silent, but she didn't dare to say more, which made Zhou Qun very angry. He finally couldn't bear it anymore and yelled at his mother: "Mom, what's wrong with you! Why did you do this again! Didn't you tell me that everyone was deliberately watching you die?"
He was shaking with anger, and it was unclear whether he was really angry or just acting.
According to Comrade Zhao Guihua, he was definitely not really angry. After all, didn't he know what his mother was like? How could he trust this old lady who was full of shit? Zhao Guihua crossed her arms, tapped her slippers, and watched the excitement.
It would be even better if there were melon seeds.
Unfortunately not.
Section Chief Liu: "Okay, then it seems that there is nothing to discuss about the fact that everyone just watched someone die without rescuing him."
Zhou Qun also seemed embarrassed and touched his face.
Section Chief Liu: "Then tell me about your fight."
Bai Fendou: "tui!"
He spat at Zhou Qun and said, "You are such a pushover, Chief Liu, just listen to me!"
He felt that Zhou Qun was just trying to make a big deal out of a small matter, but no, I won't allow it! Absolutely not!
He said: "It all started last night..."
This kind of story that starts from the beginning is what likes the most. Chief Liu of the Security Department and his people immediately quieted down. Deputy Director Zhang and Director Song who arrived just in time also quietly joined the crowd. Bai Fendou saw that there were more people, and this time he everyone became even more excited, with a bit of the momentum of Da Gangzi performing crosstalk on the overpass.
He is not Zhou Qun. Although Zhou Qun is a hypocrite, he still has brains. He knows that he can't say it directly, and he has to make it up as a ghost. But who is Bai Fendou? He travels the world with a reckless character!
He waved his hands and gave a speech on the spot: "It was a dark and windy night last night... I was half asleep... I looked outside and saw smoke and ghost lights..."
Bai Fendou started talking with saliva flying everywhere... He was a man from Beijing, and he had some talent for gossiping (I don't mean to say that this is a bad thing).
Although he is not a crosstalk performer, he told the story quite well, with many ups and downs, and he did not miss any key points.
But the matter was so bizarre, and he used so many adjectives, that it was an hour later when he finished telling the story.
Zhao Guihua sat on a small stool watching the fun and began to understand why Bai Fendou couldn't find a wife.
This is the same old story, repeated over and over again.
However, the scene was still quiet. After a while, Zhao Guihua seemed to hear someone swallowing saliva. At this moment, Section Chief Liu spoke. He said faintly, "Master's wife?"
Sure enough, this topic is always of concern.
"I'm not, I didn't!" Zhou Qun was startled and quickly defended himself.
Zhou Li also yelled, "Bai Fendou, you little bastard, stop slandering my Xiaoqun. You are just jealous, jealous of his goodness, so you slander him."
Bai Fendou was not polite: "It wasn't me who said that. It was Jiumengzi who said that. He even dared to swear on it."
Even though Drunkard drinks all day long, people around him would rather believe him.
After all, would most people dare to swear such a poisonous oath? Besides, although Jiu Mengzi likes to drink, he doesn't have any major flaws in his character. Everyone knows that he has a good character. As for drinking... you can't stop people from drinking? This can only be said to be a personal hobby.
Section Chief Liu: "Go and get someone for me."
The person he gave the order to was Zhang Saner.
Hey, their security department has some great names, Zhang San, Li Si, Wang Er Mazi, they all have them.
Jiumengzi is not from their factory, so of course he has to use "please", but Jiumengzi's elder brother is from their factory, so he also lives in this area. Jiumengzi didn't go to work today, so it's not too much to take a day off after being frightened.
But this guy is a good person. When he heard that the machinery factory was looking for him, he didn't refuse and came straight over.
Like Bai Fendou, he was not a man of many thoughts. After another hour of talking, he described in detail how he had seen a ghost...
At this time, Section Chief Liu was no longer smiling, his face was dark and ugly, and he asked, "Are you sure?"
Jiumengzi: "If I tell a lie, I will be struck by lightning and see ghosts tonight."
Mrs. Zhou Li yelled, "You must have drunk too much and heard it wrongly, and you still want to frame my son, my son..."
"That's enough!" Section Chief Liu frowned, "Shut up!"
He was a soldier, with a strong build and a fierce look, and he was intimidated by Zhou Li.
Zhou Li shuddered and dared not speak.
Section Chief Liu tapped his leg with his finger, and asked with a serious expression, "Did you see a female ghost?"
Jiumengzi nodded, then shook his head. Seeing Chief Liu's sharp eyes, he shrank back and said, "I saw her, but I didn't. I was hiding in the men's room. She came over and I didn't dare to look up. I saw a white shadow out of the corner of my eye... But I remember the sound. Oh my god, it was so scary. It was like the sound of a scratching the window frame. It was so scary."
"You heard the sound."
"Yes, I heard the conversation between Zhou Qun and him. They really mentioned several old women... and will-o'-the-wisp. I saw a will-o'-the-wisp."
Everyone in the security department was amazed and thought it was a good thing that it happened in broad daylight; if it had happened at night, it would have been quite scary.
But there were also some brave ones, such as Li Si. He said, "Why don't I believe it? Could it be that something is burning and smoking?"
Everyone shook their heads.
How can we know this clearly? Section Chief Liu: "I see that this matter has become so serious. As factory employees, you cannot ignore it. Since Zhou Qun said that someone was playing tricks, the factory must investigate it thoroughly. Otherwise... Hey, Deputy Director Zhang, why are you here? And Director Song?" He knew that the leaders were here to watch the fun, but he couldn't say that. He quickly said: "Look at how serious this matter is. Deputy Director Zhang and Director Song are here to ask about it in person. How can we not investigate it thoroughly? This matter must be investigated thoroughly. Deputy Director Zhang, what do you think?"
Deputy Factory Director Zhang nodded: "This is necessary. Otherwise, if this rumor spreads, wouldn't it be considered feudal superstition?"
When this was mentioned, the few people who had sworn that there was something fishy just now shrank their necks.
Deputy Director Zhang: "Personally, I don't believe in ghost stories at all. In this world, we should advocate science and not superstition. But there are witnesses at the scene. We should investigate their testimony carefully."
Everyone nodded.
Right, whether or not there is a ghost is one thing, and whether or not Zhou Qun has an affair with those old women is another. These must be investigated seriously.
At this time, Daqiang, who was watching the excitement in the next yard, was the bold one. He didn't go to work today. He was busy all night last night and got up late this morning. As a result, he happened to meet the security department. He thought he was late anyway, so he just came to see what was going on.
Everyone in the factory can understand what happened today.
However, when the topic reached this point, Daqiang shouted loudly: "Deputy Director Zhang, I want to report it. I want to report Zhou Qun for having promiscuous relationships with men and women and for abusing his power for personal gain!"
Deputy Director Zhang: “???”
He said seriously: "What's going on?"
Daqiang: "The Auntie Xinghua that several people were talking about is the wife of Master Zou, who is in charge of the examination in the factory. He retired at the end of the year before last. Just before he retired, he helped Zhou Qun pass the seventh level electrician examination. I suspect there is something behind this."
“Yes, yes.”
“I doubt this, too!”
“That’s right!”
"How could he have passed the exams so smoothly? If he was really that good, then I didn't see him win any awards during the competition!"
"That's right."
Zhou Qun's face turned red with anger, and he shouted, "I said there was no such thing, it was a frame-up, it was Jiu Mengzi who framed me!"
Jiumengzi felt extremely aggrieved, his voice even louder than Zhou Qun's: "I didn't lie, he really did mention those people and said those words, if he didn't say that, I would eat shit right there!!!"
Zhao Guihua: Damn, he's a ruthless guy.
Everyone was also shocked! So, why do you have a problem with the toilet?
