Xu Xiangyang nodded and said with a smile, "Good, very good, excellent!"
He said "good" three times in a row, leaving everyone around him stunned.
What does this person mean?
Aunt Liu glanced at him; she was probably furious.
That's true, no one could accept this situation for a while.
"Xiao Xu..." She wanted to say something to comfort her.
At this moment, Xu Xiangyang took out a receipt.
He had been wondering before if there was such a thing as a blatant breach of contract, since he always needed a receipt when buying a house.
Aunt Liu signed several sheets of paper at the time, so she had no idea what they were. He even had a copy of that document.
"Do you recognize these two characters?" Xu Xiangyang pointed to the words "receipt" on the paper and then showed them to Xu Pu.
Xu Pu was stunned. His face turned red, and the way he looked at Xu Xiangyang and Aunt Liu changed.
He blamed Aunt Liu. He should have asked her beforehand if there was a receipt. If there had been, it would have made things very difficult for him.
But Aunt Liu said that there was none at all.
How do you explain this?
With so many people watching, how will he save face?
And Xu Xiangyang just mocked him; he hasn't even retaliated yet!
"So what if there's a receipt? You insulted the officer, and that's a crime!" he said through gritted teeth.
Aunt Liu, who was standing nearby, heard that there was a receipt?
She leaned closer to take a look, and sure enough, it was her signature on the paper!
Moreover, she knows her own handwriting best.
Aunt Liu was about to quietly pull someone away when Xu Xiangyang immediately stopped her.
"Aunt Liu, why are you leaving? No one is leaving until this matter is resolved!" Everyone understood the firmness in his tone.
After saying that, he turned to look at Xu Pu and said, "So what if I said that? Is it your responsibility to make a judgment without investigating the matter thoroughly?"
At this moment, a woman in her fifties with short hair walked out from the crowd and looked particularly energetic.
She walked over and asked, "What's going on? What are you all doing? You're blocking the road!"
There were a lot of people here, so some people who were passing by stopped to watch the excitement.
Xu Xiangyang glanced at that person; it was she who had come to mediate when Zhang Xiufen came over earlier.
He walked over and asked, "Are you Director Yu from the neighborhood committee?"
He has lived here for over a year and has a general understanding of the situation, having visited the local street office quite a few times.
"It's me." Director Yu nodded.
She also had some impression of Xu Xiangyang; she had heard that he had a good job and had done very well in the city for a year.
Xu Pu, who was standing nearby, quickly walked over and pointed at Xu Xiangyang, saying to Director Yu, "Director Yu, this man called me a lowly clerk, which is an insult to a staff member! This man must be severely punished. I suggest we send a special team to take him away; he could very well be a bad element hiding among the people!"
Goodness, he's said it all.
Xu Xiangyang wasn't scared when he heard this; instead, he smiled.
Director Yu frowned, then said, "Comrade Xu, I need to understand the situation. He's finished speaking; now it's your turn."
She never listens to just one person's story. Having worked in the neighborhood for so many years, she knows best that one person's words cannot be trusted. You must clearly understand the situation in order to help solve the problem.
Xu Xiangyang nodded in satisfaction; he could accept her attitude.
"I did say he was just a lowly clerk," he readily admitted.
Now everyone started whispering, wondering if Xu Xiangyang had gone mad.
The three members of the Xu family began to worry.
Xu Pu, standing to the side, tugged at the director's hand, giving him a look that said, "Look, he's already admitted it."
Xu Xiangyang continued, "What about his insults? What did he call me? Director Yu, what do you think I am?"
Upon hearing this, Director Yu also felt it was inappropriate.
Their street office is there to solve the difficulties of the people, not to humiliate them.
However, Xu Xiangyang's words were also incorrect; both sides had their own faults.
"Besides," Xu Xiangyang said with a smile, "wasn't it right that I said he was just a lowly clerk?"
He took out his identification from his pocket and handed it to Director Yu.
Xu Pu, who was standing to the side, was furious and pointed at him, saying, "I'm just a lowly clerk, and what are you? How dare you act so arrogantly in front of Director Yu!"
"Secretary Xu, I'm so sorry." Director Yu looked at the documents and immediately started smiling apologetically.
“I understand what happened today. It was all Xu’s fault. I will deal with it seriously when I get back and give you an explanation.”
After saying that, she returned Xu Xiangyang's identification documents to him.
Xu Xiangyang accepted it with a smile. Luckily, he hadn't handed it in yet, otherwise how would he put on airs?
However, he was not satisfied with this explanation; Xu Pu's attitude earlier had made him very unhappy.
Xu Pu, standing to the side, tugged at Director Yu's sleeve, still somewhat dazed and not quite reacting, "Director Yu...you..."
He looked puzzled.
Director Yu brushed him aside and said calmly, "Secretary Xu is already very busy working for Director Liao. Why do you want to cause her more trouble?"
She noticed that Xu Xiangyang was not satisfied with her promise, so she took a stand.
Xu Pu:? ? ?
What's going on? Something feels off!
"Director Yu? He's Liao Shichang's secretary? You must be joking with me." He looked completely incredulous.
But he doesn't even know the surname of the chief. Is this really true?
Xu Xiangyang looked calmly at Director Yu and said, "I hope you can handle this matter seriously. Today it's just me. If it were an ordinary citizen, would they just swallow their anger and bear it? We are here to solve problems for the people, not to make them suffer!"
“I have serious doubts about how your neighborhood committee is handling this matter, so I will go to your district office to raise this issue.”
Although his tone was casual, Director Yu on the other end of the line didn't take it lightly; he was serious.
Director Yu was very anxious. She was about to retire and couldn't let this happen, otherwise how could she retire safely?
"Secretary Xu, may we speak in private for a moment?" she asked politely.
Xu Xiangyang pretended to hesitate, then reluctantly nodded.
Director Yu gave a look to the people behind her, signaling everyone around to disperse.
If this drags on, everyone will know about this embarrassing incident on the street by tomorrow.
Aunt Liu, who was standing to the side, was a little stunned. Then she turned to Wang Xiumin and asked, "Xiumin, is your child working as the secretary for the chief?"
After she finished speaking, her face had turned somewhat pale.
Seeing her expression, Wang Xiumin instantly felt a sense of relief. "Yes, my Xiangyang is the Ceremony Director's secretary, so what?"
She felt very proud of herself, and the reason she hadn't publicized it before was because Wang Zhongshan forbade her to talk about it, fearing it would affect her child's work.
When that time comes, all sorts of relatives will come knocking on your door, and you won't be able to refuse them all.
At this moment, Aunt Liu was dumbfounded. Oh no, she had offended a high-ranking official!
