Xiao Fang is very clever. Since Ye Yunyi didn't directly ask for her opinion on the matter, but instead asked her to talk about it, she was able to elaborate.
First of all, I believe this matter is indeed irregular and wrong, especially since leaders should set a good example. This is not just about letting people in; it's about placing them directly without going through the community and escaping community supervision, which is irresponsible to all members of our community.
Secondly, while Liu Yanran is indeed my superior, this isn't the end of the world. She's rife with bureaucracy, deceiving superiors and subordinates, forming cliques, and only seeking personal gain. We need to maintain the clean and honest atmosphere we had before. To put it bluntly, we haven't clearly defined positions for everyone yet, so there's no distinction of rank or status.
Third, if Liu Yanran really wanted to apologize to me, why did she do this in public? I don't think I need to give the public an explanation for this apology.
Fourth, we are not without worries. Sister Yi and Brother Yong are out running around every day, all for stability and supplies. Liu Yanran has been in charge of internal affairs for a month, so she should be very clear about our current situation. Our supplies are far from enough to feed everyone, and we are still relying on the village's harvest. I really appreciated the atmosphere where everyone worked together towards a common goal. What achievements has Liu Yanran made in the past month?
In the end, I accepted Liu Yanran's apology, so there's no need for her to apologize to me again and again.
Wow, Xiao Fang's got guts! Zhao Yong silently gave her a thumbs up. Xiao Deng's eyes lit up at the sight of Xiao Fang; he practically wanted to clapped his hands loudly.
"Yiyi, that's not how I am. It's my incompetence that made me fail and let you and Zixiang down." Liu Yanran had already shown her weakness.
Ye Yunyi listened silently. Although she was often out and about, she was not completely unaware of the changes that had taken place over the past month.
"Alright, I understand what happened. Let me reiterate, this is not the peaceful and prosperous time we used to be. We must be careful in everything we do. It wasn't easy for us to get to where we are today; it was all earned with blood and tears. Everything I did was to protect our people and do my best to avoid any harm. Yanran, Xiaofeng, you've only just arrived. You didn't see how we got here. The hierarchical system and management style that you saw under Liu Da's leadership absolutely cannot be brought here."
"We are very grateful for your help and efforts in the prison takeover. We will award you points for your contributions according to our system."
"Xiaofang is right about one thing: we have no hierarchy among us. However, let's finalize these positions. Zixiang, you should organize the positions and corresponding responsibilities, and Xiaofang will post them publicly. Our team is growing, and management needs to become more formal. A good system can function properly no matter who the manager is. I hope that one day when I'm gone, or when all of our managers are gone, everyone can live a peaceful life. We're doing this for our families, and for everyone who cares about us." Ye Yunyi's last sentence was pointed.
"Yanran, you may not be suitable for this position yet. Besides, you have a foot injury. Take a break for a while, and we'll find a suitable position once your foot is healed."
"Wang Zixiang, as the internal affairs manager, failed to manage effectively during his tenure, resulting in negative consequences. He will have one month's points deducted."
"Does anyone have any objections to this?" Ye Yunyi asked after she finished speaking.
Zhao Yong, Wang Zixiang, and Xiao Deng Xiaofang naturally didn't have any. Liu Yanran, fighting back tears, answered, "No."
"Okay, meeting adjourned. Yanran, you stay behind for a moment."
After everyone left, even Xiao Feng left. Ye Yunyi walked to Yanran's side and asked softly, "Does it hurt?"
"It's alright," Liu Yanran replied, and the tear finally fell.
Ye Yunyi wiped away her tears. She looked at Liu Yanran and saw through her that they were from the same village and the same age when they were young, so they were almost always in the same class from kindergarten to elementary school and then to junior high school.
They were so close they were like one person, they could talk about anything and share everything. Even though they went to different universities in different cities, they would always get together to hang out during holidays.
In fact, Liu Yanran was more outstanding than Ye Yunyi from a young age. She was prettier, had better grades, was more shrewd in dealing with people, had a better job, and was richer. Even her marriage was better; the man was wealthy, handsome, and treated her well.
What a happy and enviable life it was! But Ye Yunyi also knew that the reason she had such a good life was because she was beautiful, smart and rational. She always seized every opportunity and made the most advantageous choices for herself.
She had taken advantage of Ye Yunyi many times, but every time she tearfully apologized, Ye Yunyi forgave her. During Ye Yunyi's most difficult time, she even secretly betrayed her.
But you can always see glimpses of your childhood in her. During the zombie virus outbreak, when Ye Yunyi contacted her, she was always very cold. Ye Yunyi thought that Ye Yunyi's concern was because she wanted Ye Yunyi's help.
So she didn't know anything about Liu Yanran until she met her in prison this time.
She was supposed to manage the internal affairs, but that wasn't really the case; she was just assisting. However, Wang Zixiang let her take away his power, which is why Ye Yunyi punished Wang Zixiang.
Instead of comforting Liu Yanran as usual, Ye Yunyi looked at her seriously and said, "Yanran, this place is very important to me. I can give you a stable life and the rights you want, but you have to agree with our philosophy. We have to work together to make things better."
“We were oppressed before, powerless to resist. The effort and the reward were never proportional. 20% of the labor had to support 80% of the people. We were also brainwashed. If it weren’t for the legal constraints, we would be like slaves in prison.”
"Yanran, now that we've been through the rain, we're capable enough to hold up an umbrella, not become part of the downpour."
"We'll support each other and stick together like we did when we were kids, okay?" Ye Yunyi looked intently at Liu Yanran.
She longed for her to still be like she was when she was a child, with bright eyes and a smiling face, saying, "Yiyi, we'll be best friends for life. No matter what happens, we'll always treat each other well."
Liu Yanran kept her head down, tears still falling. In her heart, she thought to herself, "Isn't it because they're incompetent? She can avoid getting wet in the rain on her own, so why does she have to go out in the rain again? Ye Yunyi, do you think you're a savior? Ridiculous, overestimating yourself." But under someone else's roof, she still raised her teary eyes and nodded gently.
Ye Yunyi could see her reluctance. She sighed almost imperceptibly and helped her home to rest.
After settling Liu Yanran in, Ye Yunyi went to the rooftop, smelled the fragrance of the garden, took a deep breath, and realized that she could never go back.
