As the commendation ceremony reached its final stage, Secretary Hu invited Secretary Song to deliver a concluding speech.
Secretary Song presented Zheng Ya with a banner and awarded him a special merit medal in front of everyone. After completing the commendation ceremony under the enthusiastic attention of tens of thousands of people, he walked to the microphone and said, "Comrades, good morning."
I am honored to come to the steel rolling mill to present Zheng Ya with an honorary medal, and I am also very happy to meet everyone.
To be honest, I've attended many commendation ceremonies, but this is the first time I've seen a speech as brief as Comrade Zheng Ya's.
I gave back to the country and did what I was supposed to do!
Comrades, what a simple yet passionate and selfless spirit this is!
This is the highest pursuit for serving the country and its people!
She sounds so simple that everyone present finds her plain and unpretentious, yet she embodies the spirit that we all strive for throughout our lives!
Comrade Zheng Ya was so simple and honest, yet his selfless dedication inspired us to move forward, follow in his footsteps, and contribute to the country and the people.
What do you all think? Was Comrade Zheng Ya's statement good or bad?
"Good, good, well said! We should learn from Comrade Zheng Ya..." Tens of thousands of people were deeply inspired by Secretary Song's words and responded enthusiastically.
At the same time, it allowed tens of thousands of people to appreciate a new level of Zheng Ya's simple and honest speech, selfless dedication, and immeasurable merit.
Zheng Ya also looked at Secretary Song with new respect. His level was far superior to that of Director Yang and Secretary Hu. He also happily accepted a large amount of Zhengde points and was secretly pleased, considering the possibility of upgrading his superpower!
During this highly anticipated meeting, in the security department's interrogation room, Hu Bing sternly interrogated Liu Haizhong for his defamation of Zheng Ya: "Liu Haizhong, honestly confess the mistakes you made, speak?"
"Reporting to Section Chief Hu, I only said a few bad things about Zheng Ya unintentionally. I really didn't slander Zheng Ya!" Liu Haizhong was punched and kicked by his coworkers and security personnel, who were specifically hitting the fleshy parts of his body. He grimaced in pain as he tried to defend himself.
Clerk Liu sneered, "Liu Haizhong, you official-obsessed scum, do you even deserve to share the same surname as me? Bah!"
Don't think we in the security department don't know what kind of person you are.
You acted like a local tyrant in the courtyard, beating your children, selling them to demand money for their upbringing, and tearing apart your two young sons' affection for their birth mother. You even shifted all the blame onto Zheng Ya. I've been scheming against you.
"Tell me, what did you do to Zheng Ya at the factory?"
"Tell the truth. You know the national policy. Resisting will be punished severely, while confessing will be treated leniently. Tell the truth and you'll suffer less." Section Chief Hu slammed his fist on the table and reprimanded Liu Haizhong, showing no mercy to such a despicable person.
In fact, Liu Haizhong eventually severed his father-son relationship with Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, and even clamored for them to sever ties with their birth mother, trying to push them into the abyss of filial impiety.
They also demanded 30,000 yuan in child support from the two of them.
He believed that if the two couldn't afford child support, they would kneel and beg for his forgiveness, and he would then reluctantly accept them as his punching bags.
Naturally, they carried a sense of anticipation, hoping that the two of them would borrow money from Zheng Ya, rip him off badly, avenge the harm and financial losses he had caused, and turn the tables.
Unfortunately, Director Wang of the neighborhood committee, together with Section Chief Qi Heng of the police station, educated Liu Haizhong that raising children is an obligation, and that sons are also obligated to be filial to their elders. This overturned Liu Haizhong's understanding and shattered his plans.
Liu Haizhong denied everything and demanded child support.
Qi Heng warned him that he could have child support, but Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu had also reported him for crimes such as child abuse, domestic violence, and theft. He was told that he would go to jail and lose his job.
If Qi Heng hadn't lacked concrete evidence when Liu Guangfu and Liu Haizhong confessed to crimes, he would have arrested Liu Haizhong and taken him to the police station for interrogation long ago.
So, Liu Hai, feeling guilty, compromised and signed an agreement to sever his father-son relationship with Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangtian, without receiving any child support.
They also bear the stigma of domestic violence and child abuse.
Even Qi Heng and Director Wang believed that Liu Haizhong was not worthy of Liu Guangtian and his wife's filial piety in their old age.
Of course, whether Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu will provide for Liu Haizhong in his old age is a matter for the future.
However, the agreement stipulated that the two would not provide for Liu Haizhong's old age, aiming to quell the resentment he felt from being raised in a bullied manner, and also to establish a good image for the courtyard house, to set an example, and to serve as a teaching material.
Liu Haizhong outwardly accepted the situation, but secretly blamed all the losses on Zheng Ya, claiming that Zheng Ya had caused him financial losses and had also tricked his two sons away.
In addition, being pointed at and talked about at work is extremely embarrassing.
This caused Liu Hai to lose his composure. With no hope of becoming an official, he began to secretly plan revenge against Zheng Ya and put it into action.
At this moment, Liu Haizhong, unable to withstand the harsh interrogation from the security personnel, blurted out: "Report, I'm reporting Jia Dongxu from the factory for paying coworkers to slander Zheng Ya's reputation..."
"Liu Haizhong, you're not being honest, are you?"
To tell you the truth, before you rushed to interrogate him, Director Huang of the factory's Women's Federation had already spoken with our security department. Someone in the factory had already reported that Jia Dongxu had bribed workers to slander Zheng Ya, and provided evidence.
"Therefore, your words are useless to us. We just want to know the crimes you have committed. Confess honestly!" Hu Bing retorted disdainfully.
In fact, before the incident, Du Yuejuan had slipped a note to Director Huang Qiuya of the factory's Women's Federation, who led people to stop the female workers from surrounding Zheng Ya and causing trouble, it was because Huang Qiuya had informed her of the situation.
Although it was a secret report, Du Yuejuan's handwriting was easy to decipher.
Du Yuejuan did this because she didn't want to offend too many people, so as to avoid being targeted while working in the factory in the future.
Huang Qiuyue and the security personnel understood and concealed Du Yuejuan's report.
However, when the disturbance occurred at the factory gate, Du Yuejuan took the initiative to report that Li Chunhua had been bribed by Jia Zhangshi to invite people to surround Zheng Ya and cause trouble, thus damaging Zheng Ya's reputation, which led Du Yuejuan to step forward.
Of course, that was also the effect brought about by Zheng Ya's secret planning with Du Yuejuan. He wanted to set some benchmarks for the steel rolling mill, do good deeds, and experiment with creating the effect of Zhengde Value income.
Huang Qiuyue and Hu Bing, unaware of the true situation, mistakenly believed that Du Yuejuan's awareness had suddenly increased and that she had bravely stepped forward to expose the mistakes made by Li Chunhua and others, and they greatly appreciated Du Yuejuan.
In other words, the security department had basically grasped the whole story of Li Chunhua inviting people to surround Zheng Ya and cause trouble, identified the nature of the situation and the criminal suspects, and was preparing to report to the factory leaders for a decision when Liu Haizhong slandered Zheng Ya, and they ran into trouble.
Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Liu Haizhong said with a mournful expression on his round face, "I... I was wrong, I admit my mistake."
I shouldn't have let Jia Dongxu find the lost money, which led to Jia Dongxu paying Jia Zhangshi to bribe Li Chunhua to cause trouble for Zheng Ya.
But that's my lost money! I was upset about the money and started making a scene, and that's how it got to this point. I'm innocent!
"Pfft, Liu Haizhong, you're not being honest! You deliberately gave Jia Dongxu money to hire people to cause trouble for Zheng Ya. Do you think our security department are all idiots?" Hu Bing understood everything; the culprit was Liu Haizhong...
