Chapter 278 Someone is targeting Lin Gong
The four of them had a tacit understanding. After looking at the two children, they went out and talked in another place.
Huang Ling asked nervously: "What's wrong?"
"Someone is targeting Engineer Lin." Zhou Huaiyi said simply.
These few short words made Huang Ling and Song Ying gasp.
It turned out that today Zhou Huaiyi, as the leader of the Industrial Bureau, went to the countryside to inspect the township branches of state-owned factories as required by the bureau.
The compressor factory was closed for two days, so Lin Gong took a day off. Today he went to the parts factory in Zhou Huaiyi's hometown to provide technical guidance.
The two towns are adjacent to each other, so Zhou Huaiyi planned to go visit his aunt and pick up Mr. Lin to go back to the city.
Unexpectedly, as soon as his car entered the town in the afternoon, a cousin of his family stopped him.
It was Engineer Lin who asked him to wait for Zhou Huaiyi here.
The cousin told Zhou Huaiyi that when Mr. Lin arrived in town today, he felt someone was following him and that he might be being targeted.
Mr. Lin was smart. When he found out that he didn't go to the factory, he went to his aunt's house and did nothing for most of the day.
Whenever he went to the town-run factory, Mr. Lin basically stayed and ate at his aunt's house, so he was very familiar with the neighbors. The neighbor's son also worked in the parts factory, so Mr. Lin asked him to go and see if there was anyone waiting nearby.
But there are several factories in the town and many outsiders, so the neighbor's son did not recognize him.
Mr. Lin then asked his aunt to help find someone to wait for Zhou Huaiyi at the town gate.
Zhou Huaiyi immediately understood what Mr. Lin meant. He wanted to lure the snake out of its hole. Although he didn't know whether the snake was still there, he immediately made arrangements.
After receiving Zhou Huaiyi's message, Mr. Lin calmly put on his backpack and got on the bus back to the city.
Zhou Huaiyi followed quietly. His eyes were different and he quickly recognized the two people.
He thought that since these people could follow him from the city to the town, they probably didn't want to give up so easily, and sure enough, they were still there.
The two men waited not far from my aunt's house for most of the day and were very happy to see Engineer Lin move. However, they found that he did not go into any factory and took a bus directly back to the city.
The two were very annoyed and had no choice but to follow him back to the city, but they didn't know that while the mantis was stalking the cicada, the oriole was unaware of the situation behind it.
After the two returned to the city, they found a small restaurant to eat, cursing:
"It's hard to explain to Lao He if I don't have the evidence!"
"Then let's just say he went into the factory and spent a day there. I've got a few factory names written down, so let's just pick one."
"No, no, no, without concrete evidence, Lao He definitely won't give any more money. He's a cunning guy, and he's familiar with the leaders of all the factories. This is definitely not his business, you know!"
"That's definitely not his business. He doesn't know how much benefit he received."
"Let's go find him tomorrow and tell him the truth. We've already helped him, and we're in this together. He's definitely going to help with the advance factory entry. If he doesn't, we'll expose this to the world!"
"Yes, yes, it's impossible for us to work hard all day and get no benefit at all!"
"Yeah, that's right."
Zhou Huaiyi, who came into the store with him, heard the whole story and then came out to meet with Mr. Lin.
"Old He!" Huang Ling and Song Ying exclaimed at the same time when they heard this person.
"Do you know each other?" Zhou Huaiyi asked.
"Old He from the Youth League Office, Sister Ling, you are right, this old guy is full of bad intentions!" Song Ying cursed angrily.
"That's right. He was involved in Wang Fang's house renovation and wanted to move into our yard. Later, he was the one who gathered the educated youth who didn't make it to the queue to go to the factory union to make trouble. This time he's here to collect evidence of Mr. Lin's part-time job outside!" Huang Ling nodded.
Zhou Huaiyi continued:
"Those people are right. This Lao He is definitely doing someone else a favor. He and Mr. Lin probably have no connection or conflict of interest."
"I know who it is." Mr. Lin had actually already figured it out.
Not long ago, the compressor factory was preparing to select a deputy director from among the outstanding talents in the factory, and Lin Gong was among them.
Everyone filled out the application form, submitted materials on awards, certificates, technical breakthroughs, etc., and waited for selection by the factory.
Mr. Lin didn't have much hope. He usually didn't like flattery and didn't have a close relationship with his superiors. However, he had strong technical skills and was very popular, so he was also among the candidates.
Therefore, Mr. Lin did not tell Song Ying, for fear of giving her hope and then disappointing her again.
Now it seems that what happened today must have been done by a competitor. There are only a few people in total, so it is not difficult to guess who it is.
This person was familiar with Lao He from the Youth League Office, so Lao He found two people to handle this matter.
"That's it." Huang Ling and Zhou Huaiyi said in unison.
The only solution now is for Mr. Lin to remain on hold. If there are any technical issues that need to be resolved, Song Xiangyang will have to collect them and report them to Mr. Lin.
Song Xiangyang and Li Yiming are related, so coming to their courtyard would not arouse anyone's suspicion.
What happened today is also easy to explain. Mr. Lin is familiar with Zhou Huaiyi, so there is nothing wrong with visiting the elderly at home as he requested.
After the agreement, everyone went back home.
Mr. Lin looked at Song Ying and Dongzhe who were leaning on him on his left and right, feeling worried.
Dongzhe saw that his father was in a bad mood, and then he remembered the report card he got today.
"Dad, I ranked seventh in the class and in the top 30!"
"Ah!" Mr. Lin was delighted when he heard this. "My son is amazing!"
"Yes, yes, I forgot to tell you this just now!" Song Ying held Mr. Lin's arm tightly and looked around anxiously.
After they got home and waited for Lin Dongzhe to fall asleep, the couple talked about this matter.
"Isn't it just a salary increase? Why resort to such underhanded tactics?" Song Ying said worriedly. "Not going to the parts factory is one thing. You should also be careful when you go in and out, so as not to get tricked."
"I know, the same goes for you and Dongzhe. During the winter vacation, let Dongzhe go to the garment factory during the day and don't stay at home alone." Engineer Lin thought for a while and said.
He didn't know what these people would do.
When he went to work the next day, Mr. Lin was already a frightened bird.
Worried about myself, worried about Song Ying, worried about Dongzhe.
He called Song Ying's office and then the garment factory, and was relieved to hear that both of them were fine.
He left work early and went to pick up Song Ying first, and then to pick up Dongzhe.
Dongzhe sensed something was wrong at home, so he said to Lin Gong:
"Dad, tell me if there's anything! If you're not at home, it's just me and Mom. If I know, I'll have a way to deal with it. I'm with Xiaoting every day..."
Mr. Lin thought about it and told Dongzhe about it.
Dongzhe nodded like a little adult: "Dad, I get it. I will be careful. I learned boxing from Uncle Ma and Uncle Fang, and I am also very good at fighting! Don't worry."
"I used to be quite relieved, but now I can't feel at ease at all!" Engineer Lin laughed.
"Haha, I'm kidding. If someone comes after me, I'll definitely run first! They definitely can't outrun me. As long as I don't bring Xiaoting with me, they definitely won't be able to catch up with me."
"If something really happens, you can't leave Xiaoting alone and run away!"
"That will never happen." Dongzhe said firmly without thinking.
Dongzhe was tough in his words, but he was still afraid. It was not until his brother Tunan came back that he forgot about it.
