Factory Director Yang claimed that the organization had arranged for Wu Wei and Zheng Ya to get married, and then began to persuade Zheng Ya to reconsider her mindset.
These days, tasks assigned by the organization and its leaders must be carried out.
For soldiers and former soldiers, it is a mission that must be carried out without compromise.
And the organizational arrangements are like imperial edicts?
Failure to comply is a mistake, a sign of a flawed mindset, low awareness, alienation from the organization and the masses, and is very dangerous.
If you break down all these issues, I doubt anyone could withstand it.
Are there no exceptions?
Zheng Ya laughed defiantly, "Director Yang, it's not illegal for me to marry whomever I want, is it?"
"It's not illegal for you to marry someone, but first and foremost, you are a descendant of a martyr, so you should at least respect the martyr and your ancestors."
Since you respect the martyrs and cherish and protect the country they fought for, isn't that your obligation now...? Director Yang's high-sounding lecturing style was bound to convince even a young man like Zheng Ya.
Unfortunately, Zheng Ya didn't give him a chance to continue, raising her hand to interrupt: "Director Yang, are you making a mistake?"
"Uh, tell me, what mistake did I make?" Director Yang laughed in exasperation, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of hot tea, and smiled.
What a joke! We're all veteran revolutionaries, what kind of low-level mistakes could we possibly make?
Zheng Ya laughed and held up one finger, saying, "First, you made the mistake of bureaucratic capitalism."
Now that we are all liberated, we are implementing new social customs and promoting new social norms, advocating the ideals of equality and freedom for all.
The policy of glorifying labor.
We cannot embrace the capitalist system that oppresses the people and workers into submission, forcing them to do things against their conscience and break the law.
Do you agree with this?
"No, you brat, you're taking things out of context. The organization is doing this for your own good, and assigning you a fiancée is out of care and concern."
"How could you misinterpret the organization's meaning and even bring up capitalism as a political issue? That's where you're wrong..." Director Yang argued, but inwardly he was panicking.
They make it sound so easy, but in reality, they've made a capitalist mistake.
After all, this isn't the time of war. Regardless of the special conditions, the hardships of life, the constant threat of death, or the lack of a legal system back then, everything was decided by the organization.
In wartime, life and death can change in the next second.
Therefore, no one objected to the organization's decisions; everyone disregarded their own lives. As long as other matters were within their personal capabilities, they could accept them.
It is inappropriate to still be assigning marriage partners according to wartime policies.
Zheng Ya said with a laugh, "Director Yang, if you insist on this, I will request to convene a factory-wide meeting to raise this issue in public and let everyone present evaluate the nature of this matter."
You can also go with me to the court to consult a legal advisor.
Or you could go to the marriage registration office and have those professionals do an assessment?
I'll take your choice, one of the three options. Please?
"Hey, why are you so stubborn?" Factory Director Yang was at his wit's end and didn't dare to go out with him to meet anyone or discuss this matter!
I felt a strange resentment towards those in power. What kind of mess is this? How are they going to handle this?
Is it something that should be done once it's been completed?
If it's not done well, it's considered dereliction of duty, and who can you complain to?
Zheng Ya shook his head and smiled, "Director Yang, let's handle this business as official. Don't put on airs like an elder to me, that won't work."
I want to get married now and need to get a marriage certificate from you, but you're using those capitalist tricks to force me into submission. I can sue you…
"Why are you taking this so seriously, kid?"
I've said it's all instructions from above, I don't know the specifics either.
"Can't you understand my difficulties?" Director Yang broke out in a cold sweat, fearing that he would go and complain.
This matter isn't a huge deal, but it's not insignificant either; if we bring it up, it could cause serious trouble.
The key issue is that this kind of thing has a bad influence once it gets out.
Without waiting for a reply, Zheng Ya waved his hand to stop them: "I just went to the personnel department to get a certificate, and they told me to find you."
Now you're bringing up the arrangements made by the higher-ups, can I interpret that you've conspired to scheme against me, oppress, exploit, and bully me, the orphan of a martyr?
This is the second question. Please answer it carefully.
"Alright, I'll give you a marriage certificate, okay?" Factory Director Yang was startled. He opened his desk drawer, took out paper and pen, and wrote the certificate.
Zheng Ya didn't let it go, and said with a faint smile: "Third, your factory leaders gave my father's work position to an outsider, Wu Wei."
Adding to the tragedy, my father's unexpected death has left the matter unresolved to this day.
All of this makes me suspect that you are the murderers who persecuted my father…
"You brat, what do you think you're doing?" Factory Director Yang slammed his fist on the table, truly enraged, but unable to explain himself!
Wu Wei did indeed take up one of Zheng Daotong's two positions, becoming a staff member in the security department of the steel rolling mill.
Although it was an order from above, the fact that it happened clearly made it unreasonable and suggested a plot to seize Zheng Ya's work position.
The current policy is to allow children to inherit their parents' jobs, ensuring that each person has a specific position.
It is illegal for Wu Wei to occupy a workspace that belongs to Zheng Ya's family.
This is a clear case of misappropriation.
If investigated, the factory leaders will all face lawsuits.
The problem was that Zheng Ya wasn't informed or consulted beforehand.
This is where a grave mistake was made.
Zheng Ya seized the opportunity and stood up with a smile, saying, "Are you trying to scare me?"
Do you think I'm just a child, easy to bully, someone you can manipulate at will?
"Alright, I apologize for my bad attitude. This was a task assigned from above, what could I do?" Director Yang saw the coldness in his eyes, the kind of look directed at an enemy.
It was so cold it sent chills down your spine.
Little did he know that Zheng Ya didn't want to cause trouble; he just wanted a peaceful life, and cultivating supernatural abilities was the only way forward.
But now that things have happened, Zheng Ya is determined to face them head-on and fight back.
Otherwise, the other party will escalate their targeting and it will never end.
This is something that involves creating a persona.
Just state your position clearly and act according to the rules.
In this day and age, you might be suppressed or made difficult by your superiors when you go to work, but as long as you do your job well and don't make mistakes, no one would dare to fire you easily.
Moreover, Zheng Ya is the orphan of a martyr, which gives him a protective aura.
As long as you don't make mistakes, you have no right to be afraid of anyone.
Seeing that Director Yang had yielded, Zheng Ya didn't want to push him too far or provoke him, which could lead to bad consequences. So he smiled and said, "Uncle Yang, don't blame me for speaking harshly and offending you, the director."
It was truly the sacrifice of my father, the poisoning of my grandmother, and the bullying by the people in the courtyard that led to my near-death experience that made me realize a truth from the brink of death: the importance of protecting one's rights.
My rights are mine, and I will not allow anyone to trample on them.
I have embarrassed Uncle Yang today, and I sincerely apologize. I'm sorry!
It's never wrong to be overly polite, and you should at least give the factory manager a way out.
Presumably, after this commotion, Director Yang will report the situation to his superiors, thus achieving Zheng Ya's goal of getting things done indirectly.
Knowing when to stop, Director Yang had learned a lot and realized he had underestimated him. His unease subsided, and he chuckled and scolded, "You little rascal, you've really grown up!"
