Zhuang Zhixi reported to the Propaganda Department early in the morning.
Because of the rehearsal during this period, he was also quite familiar with the Propaganda Department. Director Song did not need to explain more. He directly led to the office, clapped his hands and said, "Everyone is here, let me introduce you. This is Zhuang Zhixi. I believe everyone is already familiar with him. From today on, he will be transferred to our Propaganda Department. Everyone, please welcome the new comrade."
Everyone applauded immediately. Zhuang Zhixi said: "I'm new here. If there's anything I don't understand, please give me some advice."
"Xiao Zhuang, you are too modest. You did a good job."
"That's right, we all know each other, you've done a good job. You're being so humble to us but you're treating us as outsiders,"
"Isn't it? Hey, we haven't had any young guys in our department for two or three years. Xiaozhuang, you are the youngest in our department."
"When there are get-togethers in the future, we will have a great general."
Everyone was talking at once, making jokes.
To be honest, everyone's attitude is really good.
It makes sense. There is no competition between them. No one would offend others right away. In the underworld, that is the way of the world. Unless someone is really stupid, no one would offend others like this.
Not worth it.
But there is one exception, Xiao Xu.
Xiao Xu's leg was not healed, but he was of no help at all in the Labor Day gala. He felt a sense of being out of touch and panicked. So he hurried to work, dragging his leg. It was said that his mother had carried him to the factory that morning. He looked like a man who couldn't function without his son.
At this time, Xiao Xu was sitting in his seat with a dark face and looked very surprised.
Logically speaking, he has no grudge against Zhuang Zhixi, but there must be some dirty tricks on his part.
Xiao Xu felt that he was doing nothing wrong. Since he was teaching a skill, wasn't it natural for the learners to give him some benefits? Apart from other things, he went to the countryside to show movies and even asked for bribes. He didn't think there was anything wrong with this, relying on his position to get benefits.
Besides, he hadn't asked for money yet, he just asked for a gift, but this guy actually gave up. If he hadn't refused, how could Lao Cao have taken advantage of this? He was very annoyed when he thought about it.
He originally thought that he would teach Zhuang Zhixi, but he would keep some tricks up his sleeve at the critical moment. If Zhuang Zhixi failed at the scene, he would definitely come to him for help. At that time, he would go into battle with injuries at the critical moment. As long as he saved the situation, he would definitely receive praise and maybe even be appreciated by the leader.
Maybe, his leader could even give him a promotion. He was quite happy about that and planned it well.
Eat him first, then step on him to get to the top. This is a really good idea. This sheep can be plucked cleanly. As for what the result will be for Zhuang Zhixi, he doesn't care. What does it have to do with him? Whether he is criticized or not, it has nothing to do with him.
He's going to be in power anyway.
However, unexpectedly, the matter went wrong very quickly. Zhuang Zhixi actually backed out. He didn't want to seize such a great opportunity to learn about film, but simply quit.
This guy has no future.
Now, all his plans have gone to waste.
Not only did all his plans fail, Corey also arranged for their family's "enemy" Lao Cao to come over. These days, he was in dire straits. The tricks he originally wanted to fool Zhuang Zhixi were completely useless in front of Lao Cao.
On the afternoon of Labor Day, the movie was shown continuously, and Lao Cao did a great job, without any slack at all. He had no chance to save the situation. He had already inquired about it, and the response was very good at that time. That was why he went to work despite his injury, fearing that if he stayed there, his job of showing movies would be taken over.
That won't work.
But I didn't expect that there would be something even worse.
Learning to project movies was already stressful and frustrating for Lao Cao, but he didn't expect that when he came back to work, he found out that Zhuang Zhixi had been transferred to their department. He really didn't expect it. He originally thought that this guy didn't have any background and there was no way he could come to their department. Now, he was wrong.
I offended people for no reason.
He didn't think Zhuang Zhixi was his friend. He was in the hospital at the time and wanted Zhuang Zhixi to buy him a chicken to nourish his body. The next day, Zhuang Zhixi didn't come again, which showed that he was very clear in his mind. Maybe he had something against him. Xiao Xu frowned slightly and looked at Zhuang Zhixi's ugly face.
However, Director Song would definitely not care about his expression, nor would he guess his thoughts. He introduced: "Xiao Zhuang's ability is obvious to all. Now that he joins our Propaganda Department, our work will get better and better, and he will contribute more to the factory and devote his own strength. Xiao Zhuang, you are a newcomer, and you will follow Lao Huang from now on. Do you have any objections?"
Zhuang Zhixi smiled: "Of course not, I am happy to work with Master Huang. It was Master Huang who led me to work before, and I learned a lot. I am very happy to work with him again this time. Master Huang, please don't find me annoying."
Master Huang looked up at Zhuang Zhixi and said, "It would be better if you talked less."
Everyone paused, then burst into laughter.
I don't know who made a joke: "Xiao Zhuang, Master Huang dislikes you for being a chatterbox."
Zhuang Zhixi was not annoyed, still smiling, he said: "Master Huang is hard on the outside but soft on the inside. In fact, he likes me very much, very much. Besides, it's good to talk a lot, it just matches Master Huang's silence. Otherwise it would be boring, right, Master Huang?"
Master Huang didn't laugh, but the corners of his mouth curled up: "You really know how to flatter yourself."
Even though he said that, they had worked together for many years, so who couldn't see that Master Huang really liked Zhuang Zhixi? People's expressions couldn't hide anything. Besides, when preparing for the party, Master Huang brought Zhuang Zhixi with him. If he really didn't like him, he wouldn't have stayed with him for so long.
Everyone in their department recognized that Master Huang was a talented and good person, but they also recognized that he had a bad temper and was difficult to get along with. So even though he was a good person, everyone was not willing to work with him.
After all, no one wants to go a whole day without anyone talking to them.
I don't want to be scolded for not doing a good job.
Anyway, I can't bear it.
But Zhuang Zhixi seemed very comfortable. Just in time, his presence also eased the tension of working with Master Huang, so you know what, everyone was in a good mood.
Except for Xiao Xu who was in a bad mood and looked at Zhuang Zhixi with disdain, everyone else felt that it was okay, and many people were happy. If there was no competitiveness, then having one more capable young man would of course be a happy thing.
Director Song was relieved to see the joy at the scene, and said with a smile: "Go to the desk over there, the one opposite to Old Huang. Also, Old Huang, this newcomer is in your hands, you take him in, introduce him to some of the work in our department, and introduce him to some of the things you are responsible for. Don't be stingy with your words."
He finished his introduction and was about to leave when he remembered something and turned back to say, "Xiao Zhuang, our factory also has a submission task. If you are interested, you can give it a try."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Okay."
He immediately said, "Director, I still have some things in the infirmary. Can I go over and pick them up this morning?"
Director Song: "Okay, go ahead. There are other things to do over there. Have you dealt with them all?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "I went over to take over this morning."
Director Song nodded slightly, feeling that Zhuang Zhixi was very methodical in doing things.
"Okay, you watch it."
Zhuang Zhixi went to work early, of course, in order to go to the infirmary first.
Everyone in the infirmary had already known about his transfer, so they came earlier today than usual. After handing over the work to him, they were all very happy for him. People always strive for higher positions, and he will have a better future. Who wouldn't be happy for him?
There was no intrigue in their clinic. Everyone was happy for him and told him to come back often. After all, they were all in the same factory and would see each other every day. It was said that people nowadays were not only well-informed, but also quick to act.
Just as Zhuang Zhixi was about to be transferred, Doctor Wang's niece was arranged to come in. Doctor Wang's niece is eighteen years old and just graduated from high school. She didn't know how her family operated. She didn't go to the countryside, but came here to work as a temporary worker.
Logically speaking, unless one is a married woman, temporary work is not a reason to stay.
But Zhuang Zhixi didn't ask what happened, because it had nothing to do with him. In fact, Zhuang Zhixi was very lucky that he was the youngest in his family. The year he graduated from high school was the official year for him to be required to go to the countryside.
In the past, it was all voluntary, and some idiots were willing to sign up, but of course most people would not think so. Can these city kids really build a vast world by going to the countryside? It is obvious that they don't even know how to use a hoe, and in fact they are just adding burden to others.
Zhuang Zhixi was relatively smart. As soon as he graduated, he found a formal job as soon as he saw the trend getting stronger. However, many of his classmates who were not in a hurry had no choice but to go to the countryside.
To be honest, their generation was pretty good, but now it's getting tighter and tighter. Otherwise, Zhuang Zhixi felt that he was the youngest in the family, which was good, because their family didn't have to go to the countryside.
The current policy is that if there are young people of working age in a family, at least one person must go to the countryside.
That is to say, if Zhuang Zhixi had a brother or sister, no matter if it was a brother or a sister, they would have to go to the countryside according to the policy. So he was very lucky that he was the youngest. As for his family's Hutou and Xiaoyanzi, there were still many years to go.
After all, the two younger ones are still young, and Hu Tou will only be in the first grade this fall.
Zhuang Zhixi stopped thinking about those things and came to the infirmary alone with an umbrella. However, as soon as he opened the door, he heard a noisy voice inside. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?"
When the nurse saw that it was Zhuang Zhixi, she smiled and said, "Xiao Zhuang, here you are. Please sit down for a while. There is a patient over here."
Their infirmary is usually not very busy, and people don't dare to come to the infirmary even if they are seriously ill. In the eyes of the people in the factory, they can only treat pain, brain fever, small cuts and the like, and they can't be trusted with anything serious.
Unless it is to save money, most people really don't dare to come here to treat serious illnesses.
However, when it rains or snows, they will be even busier. After all, in such weather, people who have caught a cold from the rain or fallen down due to the snow will still come to check on such minor problems.
Doctor Wang also came out of the ward at this time and said, "Hey, why are you here? I thought you were supposed to come at noon."
Zhuang Zhixi didn't have time to pack up after handing over the things in the morning, so he asked Dr. Wang for help. All the things were left with Dr. Wang. Zhuang Zhixi smiled and said, "I'll come over when I have time. Thank you, Sister Wang."
Doctor Wang: "Why thank you? It's just a small matter."
She said, "By the way, let me introduce you to my niece, Tao Yuye."
It was the first time that Zhuang Zhixi met this person. Although he came here to take over in the morning, he actually took over to their director, and he had been helping out in the Propaganda Department before. There was nothing to hand over here, just a matter of explaining some things clearly.
He heard that there was a new arrival, but the person concerned had gone to handle the formalities, so he was not there yet.
Seeing this, he immediately felt that their factory was going to be very busy. Tao Yuye was quite pretty, with a round and mellow face, which was exactly the kind of look that many people would like nowadays.
There are many gay men in their factory, and even more unmarried ones. I guess it's going to be lively again.
However, Zhuang Zhixi only took a glance and politely nodded and said hello: "Hello, Comrade Tao."
He quickly turned his eyes away. As a married gay man, it was not good for him to stare at the girl. Zhuang Zhixi: "Sister Wang, I..."
"Wuwu, wuwu, wuwu..." The crying sound rang out, a rustling crying sound. If you heard it at night, it would be like a ghost. It really came in waves. Zhuang Zhixi: "Why does this sound a little familiar?"
Doctor Wang smiled and said, "Of course you are familiar with her. She is your neighbor, Wang Xiangxiu's mother-in-law."
Doctor Wang came close to Zhuang Zhixi and whispered, "She came to see Bai Fendou's father off. Oh my God, you didn't see it. Old man Bai leaned on her shoulder. The two of them were so close, holding hands. They were so clingy. Even newly married couples don't have such a close relationship with them. Look, they are so deeply in love. This lady has been crying since she came in and has been crying until now. Sometimes her voice is loud and sometimes it is soft. If you don't know, you might think she is crying at the grave."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Pfft! Does she have to be so exaggerated? Where is Bai Fendou? Isn't this his father?"
Doctor Wang curled his lips and said, "Bai Fendou was sent here, and he left after paying the money. I really don't know what the point of raising a son like him is. It has always been that Aunt Su who has been taking care of him."
Zhuang Zhixi was speechless and rolled his eyes, but he still moved closer out of curiosity. When he moved closer, he was shocked. Several people in the infirmary were quietly lying at the door, eavesdropping. Seeing Zhuang Zhixi coming, the nurse immediately made a "stop talking" gesture with her mouth, and then several people pricked up their ears and continued to watch the excitement. Zhuang Zhixi also moved closer without hesitation, and heard the voice of the old man in the room.
"Sister Su, please stop crying. It breaks my heart..."
Zhuang Zhixi pressed his chest, and another doctor, Li, felt nauseous and almost vomited, so he quickly held his mouth tightly.
"I know you care about me and love me. I have never met a kinder woman than you. I am really happy that you can stay and take care of me. This is something I never dared to dream of..."
Zhuang Zhixi also covered his mouth silently.
"Tell me how I am so lucky to meet you in this life..."
Aunt Su was very proud of being confessed to, but she looked shy. Although she was not young, she still showed the innocence of a young girl. She said softly, "Brother Bai, why are you saying this? You help me so much on weekdays. Now you are not feeling well, what is the point of me taking care of you? Not to mention just taking care of you, I can even do it to pick up your shit and urine."
Of course she was not happy about it, but if she wanted to get a long-term meal ticket, it didn't matter how much work she did for him. It was useless. If she did too much, it would be taken for granted. So Aunt Su never did that.
She would not do useless things. What she would do is to rush forward at such a time, when the patient is the most vulnerable, to show herself as much as possible, to work hard, not afraid of dirt or poor conditions, and to be considerate and sincere. The patient is already fragile, and I believe that this will be remembered for a lifetime. After several times, are you still worried that this person will not be controlled by you? The old man's wife has been dead for more than 20 years. He has a formal job and a house. Is it really impossible for him to find a companion? Yes, he can, in fact, from the beginning. But she will not give others a chance.
If old man Bai finds someone, he won’t help her.
So she wanted to keep hold of this person from the very beginning. Now it has been twenty years, and she is sure that this trick works.
She said, "What do you want to eat for lunch? I'll make it for you when I get home."
Old man: "I can't eat, I have no appetite. Looking at you, even if I don't eat anything, my heart is sweet..."
Zhuang Zhixi finally couldn't help it and quietly pulled away. He rubbed his chest uncomfortably and said, "Sister Wang, I feel like I can save a meal today."
He was no longer hungry; he was full.
Nauseous and nauseating.
Doctor Wang laughed: "Your fighting ability is not good enough."
Zhuang Zhixi: “I really can’t bear it.”
He picked up his cardboard box and said, "I'm going back to work now. I'll talk gossip with you some other day."
Doctor Wang laughed and scolded: "Come on, I'm not that kind of person."
Zhuang Zhixi said cheerfully: "Yes, I am. Let's go."
He held an umbrella in one hand and a cardboard box in his arms, and quickly walked into the rain...
Tao Yuye looked at his back and asked, "Aunt, he can't hold it like this, right? Do you want some help?"
Doctor Wang smiled and said, "No need."
After a pause, she looked at her niece and said, "Xiao Zhuang is married."
Tao Yuye's face changed, and then she said, "Aunt, you think too much. I just want to help you. I don't have any other intentions. Besides, you know that I want to find a cadre family with good conditions."
Doctor Wang: "It's good that you know, but you can't be too snobbish when looking for a partner. You also have to see if it's suitable..."
Tao Yuye: "I understand."
She lowered her head, but a look of disapproval flashed in her eyes.
My aunt married well and had good conditions, but she turned around and told them that she didn't care about the conditions. If she didn't care, why did she marry well? Tao Yuye said nothing and acted obediently.
She has to be well-behaved, as she is now counting on her aunt to make her a permanent employee and introduce her to a date.
Zhuang Zhixi didn't know about this episode. He was walking back with the box in his arms when he suddenly felt someone following him. He turned around and saw someone smiling and saying, "Zhang Saner."
Zhang San: "Let me help you."
He helped Zhuang Zhixi hold the box and said, "Hold the umbrella."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Thank you, I really can't let go of this."
It is indeed not very convenient to hold an umbrella and carry a suitcase at the same time.
Zhang Saner: "Hey, if you have something to say, just tell me. Don't be polite. By the way, you came out of the infirmary, right?"
Zhuang Zhixi nodded: "Yes."
Zhang Saner immediately asked three questions in a row.
"I heard that you were transferred to the Propaganda Department because you were appreciated by the leadership, is that right?"
"I heard that Bai Fendou's father and Wang Xiangxiu's mother-in-law came here together? What's going on? Are you pregnant?"
"I heard that a pretty young lady came to the infirmary. Is that true? Have you seen her?"
These are all very important news.
Zhuang Zhixi laughed and sighed: "Are you here to help me, or to inquire?"
Zhang Saner: "Of course I'm asking around and helping you. Really, is that girl pretty?"
Although I want to know all these gossips, the last one is the most important. This is a sincere question from a bachelor.
Zhuang Zhixi: "I didn't pay attention to whether it looked good or not."
"Ah, how could you not notice it? Didn't you see it?" Zhang Saner asked curiously.
Zhuang Zhixi: "I saw it and just glanced at it. I didn't take it seriously. If you want to know, why don't you go and take a look yourself? Why are you asking me? I heard that Uncle Bai and Aunt Su were here, so I only cared about the elderly."
Zhang Saner curled his lips: "...I don't care about you at all. I think you are just here to watch the fun."
Zhuang Zhixi laughed.
"So, has Aunt Su got it?"
"No, why do you always suspect that she is pregnant? She is so old, it's hard, right? Even if you are curious, you can't ignore the reality. Theoretically speaking, she is probably too old to have a baby, right? Okay, I'm here. If you are curious, just go to the infirmary by yourself, I guarantee you can see something exciting."
He raised his eyebrows and winked at Zhang Saner, which was very meaningful. Zhang Saner immediately understood what Zhuang Zhixi meant and said, "Well, I'll go over and take a look."
It looks like there will be a lot of excitement.
He said quickly: "Then I'll go."
He left quickly. Zhuang Zhixi smiled, shook his head, and returned to the office.
As soon as I came back, I heard Xiao Xu say sarcastically: "It feels like I've been gone for two years just to get something."
Zhuang Zhixi simply didn't bother to pay attention to him. Some people are just mean people, and they don't even need to respond to him. Because even if they cater to him, these mean people won't be polite when they need to plot against others. So Zhuang Zhixi simply ignored him.
Besides, he is not a leader. Director Song didn't say anything, so who is he?
Zhuang Zhixi started to pack his things, but Sister Cui at the next table asked curiously: "Xiao Zhuang, are you and Bai Fendou living in the same courtyard?"
Zhuang Zhixi: “Yes, it is one.”
Sister Cui's eyes lit up at once, and she said happily, "Oh, you really are from the same courtyard. Ah, tell me, what's going on with Bai Fendou and Wang Xiangxiu? Are they together? And Old Man Bai and Wang Xiangxiu's mother-in-law... When I entered the factory this morning, I saw the two of them being so close. Oh my goodness~ He really treats the factory as his own bed, and doesn't avoid suspicion at all! Are they in love?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Actually, I don't know either."
Sister Cui: "How could you not know? Aren't you from the same courtyard?"
Zhuang Zhixi pretended to sigh and said, "We are, but I don't understand. You mean they are in love? They don't admit it themselves, and they all say that they have a pure and friendly neighborly relationship. Wang Xiangxiu even claims to be Bai Fendou's sister. But if you say they are not in love, they are indeed closer than ordinary people, so I don't understand."
Even when Zhuang Zhixi was gossiping, he was sensible.
"I think maybe in a few years when I'm older and have more experience, I'll understand."
Everyone laughed. Sister Cui joked, "This has nothing to do with age... Are they still in the infirmary?"
Zhuang Zhixi: “Still there.”
"Oops, I need to go to the bathroom."
This person clearly wanted to go and watch the fun, but he still managed to find an excuse.
"Lao Cui, wait for me for a moment. I need to go to the toilet too."
"I'm going too."
"And me."
The female comrades from the Propaganda Department went to the toilet together, and each of them went out in the rain holding an umbrella.
Zhuang Zhixi smiled and shook his head, then put away his water cup and other things. Old Huang looked up at him and said, "The work of our Propaganda Department is quite diverse, but it basically revolves around the word propaganda. Now the main thing is to promote..."
He told Zhuang Zhixi the general situation of the Propaganda Department. Zhuang Zhixi nodded slightly and listened very carefully.
Lao Cao stood up and prepared to go out to get some water. He smiled and said, "Xiao Zhuang is really hardworking. Our Lao Huang is a master. He teaches people very honestly without any tricks. You can learn a lot from him."
When I think about it this way, I know what Lao Cao means.
Everyone smiled meaningfully.
Xiao Xu looked at Lao Cao unhappily, sneering and said nothing.
Zhuang Zhixi was a man who knew how to handle things. Seeing that Master Huang's cup was empty, he said, "Master Cao, give me the cup. I'll get it for you."
The washroom is not in the office, but at the end of the corridor outside the door. Lao Cao is not far away, but he is always happy to meet someone who knows how to handle things. He said, "Okay, thank you."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Why thank me? We are all colleagues."
He got up and went out, quickly arriving at the washroom at the end of the corridor.
"Xiao Zhuang."
At this moment, someone called someone at the door. Zhuang Zhixi looked up and saw that it was Bai Fendou.
In fact, he had been watching nearby for a long time, waiting for Zhuang Zhixi to be alone and then sneaking in to find him. In fact, he could also go to the office to find him, but if he did that, everyone would know that he had looked for Zhuang Zhixi, and it would be bad if he was blamed. He still had to pay attention to the aftermath of his actions.
So he planned to send a message to Zhuang Zhixi when he was alone.
Zhuang Zhixi raised his eyebrows, his eyes flashed with a hint of darkness. He didn't expect that this person really wanted to plot against him. If he hadn't heard his mother's reminder in the morning, he might not have thought too much about it now, but now he was very cautious.
He smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes. Zhuang Zhixi turned around and asked, "Brother Fendou, is there anything wrong?"
Although the two families had several unpleasant quarrels, he was still polite and called him brother.
Bai Fendou forced a smile, acted enthusiastically, and said, "Why, brother, why can't I come to you for nothing?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Of course, but we shouldn't do this during working hours, right? If everyone is lazy during working hours, how can the factory develop?"
Anyway, he will wear this big hat.
Bai Fendou felt a little uncomfortable, but he quickly said, "You're right."
If it were in the past, he would definitely refute it, no matter whether it was reasonable or not, he would first stir up trouble, this is his style of doing things. But today he did not do that at all, he wanted to plot against Zhuang Zhixi, naturally he did not want Zhuang Zhixi to be unhappy and then be on guard against him.
He forced a smile, which was even more unnatural than before. Zhuang Zhixi saw it and thought that if his mother hadn't told him, he would have noticed something was wrong by now. How did Bai Fendou think that his acting could fool him?
Does he look that stupid?
Zhuang Zhixi felt that this person was thinking a little too much.
His expression faded a little, and he said, "Brother Fendou, what on earth is the matter that brought you to see me?"
Bai Fendou quickly said, "I have something good that I want to ask you for help."
Zhuang Zhixi: “Hmm?”
Bai Fendou: "At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, sneak out and come to the small warehouse. I have something good to give you."
He acted very mysterious. Zhuang Zhixi had no expression on his face, and felt that Bai Fendou was sick. He smiled meaningfully and said, "Two o'clock in the afternoon, small warehouse?"
Bai Fendou nodded and said, "Yes, you come by yourself when the time comes, don't bring anyone else. If we are not from the same courtyard, this kind of good thing would not be cheap for you. I am giving this good thing to you because we are from the same courtyard. You can come secretly when the time comes. Don't tell anyone else. If you tell others, I will not bring you with me for any good thing in the future."
As soon as Zhuang Zhixi arrived, he would knock him unconscious and strip him of his clothes, then trick Jiang Lu in and lock the door. They would still be punished even if they did nothing, and thinking of this, Bai Fendou laughed out loud, feeling very proud.
Let you, Zhuang Zhixi, marry a good wife, let you show off, let you flaunt, and then see what you will do when the time comes.
"Brother Fendou, you sound so mysterious, but you have to tell me what it is about, right?" Zhuang Zhixi looked into Bai Fendou's eyes.
Bai Fendou: "Look at you, don't ask too much now, this is a secret. You will know when you come."
If he was asked to make up a secret now, he really didn't know what he could make up. He simply pretended to be mysterious and said seriously: "You can't ask too many questions now. As long as you come, I will know everything."
Zhuang Zhixi refused to cooperate with him and said, "If you don't explain clearly, I won't go. Who knows what you want to do?"
He looked Bai Fendou up and down suspiciously and said, "Are you trying to steal something from the factory?"
He said seriously: "I'm telling you, don't even think about getting me involved in this kind of thing. If you dare to do it, I'll report it to the factory."
"No, it's not like that. No, what are you talking about? Am I that kind of person? Anyway, you have to come."
Zhuang Zhixi sneered and said, "No!"
Such a depressing tone, who does he think he is?
Zhuang Zhixi: "If you don't explain clearly, I will definitely not go." After saying that, he turned around and walked straight to the office.
Bai Fendou: "Hey you..."
He wanted to chase in, but when he saw everyone was looking at him, he frowned angrily and left for the time being.
There are too many people here, not a good place to talk, or at noon, during lunch, I went over to do Zhuang Zhixi's work. He really didn't understand, he had said it so mysteriously, why didn't Zhuang Zhixi fall for it.
Why doesn't this person follow the routine? Shouldn't he have agreed to it happily?
It turns out that Zhuang Zhixi is not a good person and has a lot of tricks up his sleeve.
He snorted heavily and turned away.
"This won't work. I can only wait until noon." He frowned, thinking that this matter was not easy to handle. What if many people saw it at noon? He rubbed his temples, thinking that the more this happened, the more likely he would succeed.
Bai Fendou kept muttering to himself, thinking about how to tell Zhuang Zhixi when the time comes, but he didn't know that Zhuang Zhixi was also thinking about him.
He was sure that Bai Fendou had no good intentions. He just didn't know what he was trying to frame him for. Was he trying to steal things from the factory? It was very likely. They were a machinery factory, and there was a lot of copper and iron, as well as a lot of rare metals, all of which could be sold at a high price.
Could it be that he wanted to frame me?
Thinking of this, Zhuang Zhixi's eyes became sharp. If this was true, then he might even eat peanuts. If Bai Fendou really did this, then this person would be extremely bold and courageous.
He wouldn't be that crazy, would he? And if it was about the materials in the factory, then the factory would investigate in detail, and he really couldn't think that he could stay out of it. To be honest, according to normal people's thinking, he wouldn't be so crazy and reckless, but Bai Fendou's mind was relatively simple and unreliable, and it was normal that he couldn't distinguish the important from the unimportant.
Zhuang Zhixi tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and suddenly he reacted.
No, not this.
According to what the fuck they said, they were talking about "two people". If it was two people, it shouldn't be stealing... Two people, stealing-people.
When Zhuang Zhixi thought of this, he instantly felt that it made sense, but his face was still ugly. If this was the case, Bai Fendou would be just as vicious, and if he was really charged with hooliganism, he would be finished.
Don’t even mention the future. If the situation gets out of hand, you’ll definitely go to jail.
This cannot be compared with the incident with Zhou Qun, because there was no evidence at all that time.
But if this is caught on the spot...
Zhuang Zhixi suddenly sneered. He was the kind of person who would never take the initiative to cause trouble, but he was not afraid of trouble either. Since people had plotted against him, he didn't mind giving them a taste of their own medicine.
He wondered who the woman Bai Fendou would be if he wanted to frame him, and the most likely woman would be Wang Xiangxiu.
But he should be reluctant to damage Wang Xiangxiu's reputation. Aunt Su came to the factory today. Could it be Aunt Su... He instantly felt nauseous and got goosebumps all over his body. He quickly shook his head to get rid of this disgusting thought, but he couldn't.
Uncle Bai was reluctant.
Others, others will not be complicit with them... If we don't consider it from the perspective of complicity, but from the perspective of killing two birds with one stone... Jiang Lu! Zhuang Zhixi instantly thought of a suitable person. If Bai Fendou wanted to vent his anger and kill two birds with one stone, it would be most appropriate to plot against him and Jiang Lu. This way, they could strike at their family and the Zhou family at the same time.
If they really wanted to plot against the two of them, then Bai Fendou alone would not be enough. At least someone had to cooperate, one to lure him in, and one to lure Jiang Lu in. This had to be done at the same time. His companion must be his father.
I have to say that Zhuang Zhixi really has some understanding of Bai Fendou, and his analysis is almost exactly the same.
Zhuang Zhixi laughed at this time...
If they really wanted to do this to people, why didn't they inform Zhou Qun?
He just didn't believe that Zhou Qun would not punish Bai Fendou after knowing this! The lunch break bell rang, and Zhuang Zhixi and several people from the Propaganda Department walked to the cafeteria together. From a distance, Bai Fendou followed them again. He had no choice but to seize every opportunity to find Zhuang Zhixi alone, and he could only follow him like this.
Zhuang Zhixi looked back and Bai Fendou immediately winked at him. Zhuang Zhixi remained unmoved seeing his anxious look.
I'm going to drive you crazy! Bai Fendou cursed in his heart and kept calling him "idiot".
This means two o'clock.
Zhuang Zhixi actually didn't understand Bai Fendou's mind. He kept chasing after people and insisting on asking them to do something. Anyone would be wary, right? Why did he still think he wasn't suspected at all?
I don't know if it's because I'm stupid that I think others are just as stupid.
He suddenly smiled and nodded vaguely.
Bai Fendou was stunned, and Zhuang Zhixi stopped and seemed to be about to speak. Bai Fendou immediately waved his hand, made a two gesture, and then left quickly.
Zhuang Zhixi laughed. He knew that Bai Fendou would not come to him in front of everyone if he wanted to plot against someone.
"What's wrong?" Old Huang saw him stop and asked in confusion.
Zhuang Zhixi: "I don't know what Bai Fendou in our yard is doing, but he's so mysterious."
Sister Cui: "Bai Fendou, isn't he Lao Bai's son?"
Zhuang Zhixi: “That’s right.”
Sister Cui looked back and said, "This kid is the same. He is not young anymore but he doesn't know how to get married. He spends all day messing around with widows."
Zhuang Zhixi: “Who knows?”
Everyone came to the cafeteria and ordered food together. Zhuang Zhixi said: "I want one portion of Chinese cabbage, one steamed bun and one cornbread."
He was holding his lunch box, saw Zhou Qun's seat, and walked over. However, he did not sit at the same table with Zhou Qun. Instead, he sat at the table behind Zhou Qun. Because he sat at this table, several people who came with him also sat there.
You usually don’t notice it, but after just one day in the Propaganda Department, Zhuang Zhixi can tell who has a good relationship with whom.
On the surface, everyone was nice, but in fact, Old Huang, Old Cao, Sister Cui, and Sister Chen were on good terms, and they all ate together. Zhuang Zhixi followed Old Huang and mingled with them.
Several people sat down. Old Huang took a look, pushed his lunch box filled with meat and vegetables forward, and said, "Here, eat something."
Zhuang Zhixi shook his head: "No, if I want to eat it, I will just call it."
Everyone is living a tight life nowadays, he definitely won’t eat other people’s meat dishes.
He was just thinking about what to say when he saw Doctor Wang. Doctor Wang was alone. She came over with her lunch box and said with a smile, "You guys came quite early."
Sister Cui laughed: "Why are you alone?"
Doctor Wang: "They will come later, I will come first, and then they will come after I leave. It's a good time to take turns, otherwise our clinic would be empty. It rained heavily yesterday, and there are quite a few people complaining of sore throats and typhoid fever today."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Yes, Uncle Bai from our hospital is sick."
Doctor Wang: “Him.”
Doctor Wang curled his lips in disdain, hesitated for a moment, and whispered, "That's an old pervert who was hanging around with people in the infirmary."
Sister Cui and a few others opened their eyes wide immediately. Although they had gone to watch the fun, they could not stay there forever. They had to leave after watching for a while. Now, when they heard the gossip from the comrades on the scene, they were naturally very curious.
"He and Aunt Su really have that kind of relationship... Oh no, are they planning to give Bai Fendou a brother?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "...Can you guys be a little more scientific?"
Why are you always picking on your children?
It seems that Aunt Su is too old to have children.
He glanced at Zhou Qun behind him, cleared his throat, and whispered, "Speaking of which, I always feel that Bai Fendou is weird today."
Before he could continue to explain the point, someone came over to cooperate.
Doctor Wang: “I know.”
"You know?" Zhuang Zhixi looked at Doctor Wang in surprise. No, you know what I want to say. You took the subject and my original words had to change direction... Before Zhuang Zhixi could get back to the topic, he heard Doctor Wang's mysterious voice, "I'm telling you, you can't tell anyone else."
"You tell me, you tell me."
"Yeah, we all keep our mouths shut."
"Yes, don't worry."
Doctor Wang nodded: "I trust you."
She whispered, "When I was in the infirmary, I heard Bai Fendou talking to Old Man Bai about two o'clock in the afternoon, and about leading people to the small warehouse... I wondered if they were up to something bad. Or maybe they were going to have a tryst with someone."
Zhuang Zhixi was surprised: "Ah? If they were caught doing this kind of thing in the factory, would they still have shame?"
"Who says it's not?"
"What are these two going to do?"
"Who knows? Let's go check it out this afternoon."
Zhuang Zhixi suppressed his smile and said seriously, "Whether you guys go or not, I'm not going. Bai Fendou and I are from the same courtyard. If he really has a secret meeting with someone somewhere, it would be so embarrassing if I saw him. We'll see him every day in the future."
"That's right, you are all neighbors."
Zhuang Zhixi: “That’s right.”
"Hey, tell me, should we tell the security department about this?"
Sister Cui: "Bai Fendou is from the security department. If I tell him, it will offend him."
"Forget it, it has nothing to do with us."
"That's right. I guess it's a date with Wang Xiangxiu."
Everyone was discussing this, and then Old Huang spoke up: "Since they used a guide, then they definitely didn't go there voluntarily. I don't think this is a good idea, so we should talk to the security department."
"ah?"
“That’s right.”
Doctor Wang: "Well, I'm not sure that's what they said. I was passing by outside and overheard it, but I'm not sure I heard it correctly."
Zhuang Zhixi shook his head: "What's going on?"
He was really convinced by Bai Fendou. Aren't you going to do something bad? Your mother hasn't done anything yet, but it's already been spread out. You're really bad at doing this bad thing.
However, he was sure that Zhou Qun behind him had heard it clearly. He had originally wanted to find a reason to say this and let Zhou Qun pass. But now there was no need for that. Who would have thought that Doctor Wang had also said this, and Zhou Qun had obviously heard it.
Zhuang Zhixi knew without a doubt that Zhou Qun would definitely go there, and he might even bring someone else with him.
Who made Zhou Qun the one in the vortex of public opinion now?
Although no one said it openly, everyone was worried about him. Didn't you see? There were so many people in the electrician group, but he was the only one sitting at a table, and no one else was sitting next to him. If Bai Fendou caused some trouble in the factory, then the news would be updated and maybe no one would care about him anymore.
Even if he cares, he will definitely be happy to have Bai Fendou to share the burden.
Zhuang Zhixi's analysis of people is still very accurate. Maybe he is not good at analyzing others, but we are all old neighbors. Well, he can always grasp other people's personalities. He smiled and lowered his head to continue eating.
Anyway, it has nothing to do with him.
A pure and innocent little village.
Zhuang Zhixi never looked back at Zhou Qun from beginning to end. Zhou Qun left quickly after eating, but he did not go far. Instead, he walked to the kitchen and called Yang Lixin, and the two walked to the backyard together.
Zhuang Zhixi: “???”
He glanced at it, then continued doing what he was doing as if he hadn't seen it.
How did these two get together? You have to know that because Yang Lixin married into the family, Zhou Qun looked down on him and they seldom interacted with each other. The only person Yang Lixin was more familiar with in the courtyard was Zhuang Zhixi.
He and Zhou Qun are together? This world is really too complicated.
Zhuang Zhixi sighed silently and silently lit a candle for everything that was to come.
Although I don't know what will actually happen, it's useless to work hard on this IQ. After all, his last name is Bai! No matter what they do, it's certain that something will happen this afternoon.
Zhuang Zhixi lowered his head and stuffed the last bite of steamed bun into his mouth.
Well, I'll wait and see what happens in the afternoon.
At the same time, in the middle of the day, Bai Fendou came to the infirmary to find Lao Bai and helped him go to the toilet. In fact, going to the toilet was fake, and the communication trick was real.
The father and son walked to the factory toilet together. Bai Fendou whispered, "I've already made an agreement with Zhuang Zhixi. He should come directly here at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. You can help me lead Jiang Lu here and tell her that Zhou Qun is injured. She will definitely follow you without asking any questions."
Old man: "Okay."
Bai Fendou: "I'll hide in the corner of the house. As soon as Zhuang Zhixi comes over, I'll be the first to knock him down. Then I'll hide at the door. As soon as Jiang Lu comes in, you push her hard. While she's in a mess, we'll come out together and lock the door."
Old White Man: "Okay, then they will definitely make a scene."
Bai Fendou: "Don't be afraid. I'll run and take the security department over and catch them in the act. They will definitely be criticized and their reputation will be ruined. This will also give Sister Xiu's family some relief."
The old man thought about it and nodded in agreement, but then he said, "If someone passes by in the middle..."
Bai Fendou: "There are people. It's the same if others find out. They can't explain it clearly! When the time comes, I will throw Zhuang Zhixi's clothes outside the door, leaving him with nothing to wear. Let's see what they do."
"Okay, but this won't become a big deal, right?"
The old man felt that this matter seemed to be quite serious.
But Bai Fendou didn't think it was a big deal. He said, "Zhou Qun is fine with the old woman, so it shouldn't be a big deal. It's just a loss of face, and we're not hurting anyone."
White old man: "Okay, let's do it!"
He said, "Come, let's go through it again and see if there is anything we missed."
"good!"
“Success at one stroke!”
"It will definitely work!"
