Xu Xiangyang followed Director Yu into the courtyard, then went behind the door to avoid being seen from outside.
She pursed her lips and said, "Secretary Xu, I'm really sorry about what happened today. It was my fault for not managing my subordinates well, which caused you trouble."
This is the worst luck imaginable!
That Xu Pu doesn't do anything productive all day long, all he does is cause her trouble!
If Xu Xiangyang is held accountable today, she probably won't be able to retire peacefully.
Where will she put her face after this?
Xu Xiangyang smiled, then said with a troubled expression, "Director Yu, you saw it yourself, and everyone heard it today. If you don't deal with this Xu cadre properly, I really won't be able to get over this hurdle in my heart."
“We cadres are all here to serve the people. If you didn’t know my identity, or if I were just an ordinary member of the public, would you have to swallow this insult?”
It's impossible for him to be ordinary; he's aiming to become a self-made millionaire.
Upon hearing this, Director Yu smiled obsequiously on the outside, but inwardly he was cursing.
Isn't the goal simply to punish Xu Pu? But he deserved it!
If things are handled strictly according to regulations, no one can find fault with them; at most, it's just doing things the proper way, and any issues can be resolved in a few words.
But he didn't!
They have a written agreement and a receipt, so why did you tear up their agreement?
She smiled and said, "Secretary Xu, I will definitely do as you say. But could you... just forget about the matter with the district?"
At this point, she still has to appease them, and they will definitely handle it well, otherwise what will she do when she retires?
Even if Xu Xiangyang didn't ask, she would still have to deal with it seriously.
Xu Xiangyang sighed and said reluctantly, "Alright, Director Yu, just don't disappoint me."
If this matter isn't handled well, he'll definitely have to have a serious talk with his superiors.
Even though he's been transferred now, he's still Liao Shichang's secretary.
You have to give them face wherever you go to get things done.
Besides, we're in the right!
We're in the right, what are we afraid of? We're not afraid!
Director Yu wiped the sweat from his brow, unsure whether it was from the heat or from nervousness.
However, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Xu Xiangyang didn't cause trouble, she would take care of everything for him.
Before leaving, Xu Xiangyang mentioned the house again, telling her to talk to Aunt Liu and her family about it.
After all, he only needed to deal with these kinds of troubles once or twice, and he didn't want to deal with them anymore.
There are already so many things to do every day, and now I also have to deal with these people.
Director Yu assured him that the matter had been taken care of, and he could rest assured.
Xu Xiangyang's concerns were none of her business; she had said what she needed to say, and whether or not it was done was up to her.
If it can't be resolved, go to the higher-ups; there's always someone who can fix it.
Actually, this matter no longer needed to be handled by Director Yu. Aunt Liu's family was already so frightened that their legs trembled and they almost collapsed to the ground.
Cadres aren't workers, are they? Do you think anyone can mess with them?
Aunt Liu was pale, and even in the sweltering heat, she felt cold all over.
Seeing Director Yu and Xu Xiangyang come out of the courtyard, she felt guilty!
Especially seeing Director Yu, whom they usually respected, smiling at Xu Xiangyang, what else could they say?
She quickly ran over, calling out, "Little Xu!"
"No, no, Secretary Xu!" she said nervously. "Secretary Xu, please forgive us. It's all because of my spendthrift wife. She insisted on wanting the yard, and I was misled. Please don't hold it against us. Please forgive us."
Aunt Liu looked like she was about to kneel down and beg for help. She had to be nice to her, or she was afraid she wouldn't be able to stay here any longer.
The daughter-in-law behind Aunt Liu didn't dare to speak, but she cursed inwardly. It was their family who wanted the courtyard back in the first place; they went to stand up for it, and now they'd been sold off!
She doesn't dare say anything now, but she'll have to get it back in the future!
Xu Xiangyang listened to her words but remained indifferent, "Aunt Liu, don't say that. You were quite tough back then, weren't you backed up by that cadre surnamed Xu?"
His tone was somewhat sarcastic, but no one dared to refute him.
Seeing their behavior, Xu Xiangyang felt it was pointless and went straight home.
Director Yu was quite angry, and he took out his anger on them.
She can't afford to offend Xu Xiangyang, but can she tolerate these people?
Thinking this, she said, "Can't you guys give people a break? Secretary Xu is busy all day long, how can you still be trying to take advantage of her? If this happens again, I'll call the neighborhood committee and give your family a lesson!"
If word gets out, how will their family face people? Will they still be able to live here?
Aunt Liu quickly begged for forgiveness, "Director Yu, we were wrong, we will never dare to do it again."
Director Yu ignored her and turned to look at Xu Pu, who had also realized what was happening, but still looked unconvinced.
"Xiao Xu, let's talk about it when we get back."
After saying that, she walked ahead.
Xu Pu ran a few steps to catch up with him and said, "Director Yu, do you really believe everything this person says? I don't think he's telling the truth."
Judging from Xu Xiangyang's appearance, he's just a kid. How could he possibly be the Ceremony Director's secretary? Impossible!
Director Yu stopped, turned to look at him, and sneered, "Xu Pu, I'm only doing this to save you face because of your uncle. Am I blind? His documents have seals on them, how could I be wrong?"
"If you don't want to work here anymore, just say so. Don't drag me down with you!"
Xu Pu was dumbfounded. Was this real?
He hated Aunt Liu's family to the core, and blamed himself for being greedy and agreeing to their request.
He was already in the wrong, and now he's offended a high-ranking official. He's doomed!
"Director Yu, what should I do?" He panicked and didn't know what to do.
What would be the consequences? He dared not think about it...
Director Yu sighed, shook his head, and said, "You should go down to the grassroots level. That's the best I can do."
After saying that, she turned and left.
Xu Pu stood under the scorching sun, yet felt as if he were in the dead of winter.
It’s over…
Xu Xiangyang returned home and quickly washed his face; it was too hot!
This won't work.
Wang Xiumin, beaming with pride, said to Wang Zhongshan, "Father, we've finally gotten our revenge today!"
She had wanted to tell him about this for a long time, but her father wouldn't allow it.
If Aunt Liu and the others had known Xu Xiangyang's position beforehand, they probably wouldn't have dared to come and cause trouble.
I've suffered so much for nothing! Just thinking about it makes me feel so frustrated.
Wang Zhongshan could tell what she was thinking just by looking at her expression. "You're kidding me. Just you wait and see. Tomorrow, a lot of people will come knocking, begging for your help. Let's see what you say then."
"Also, don't tell anyone about Xiangyang going to the garment factory. Don't cause him any trouble."
Since Xu Xiangyang chose to reveal that he was the Ceremony Director's secretary, he must have his reasons. His family shouldn't cause trouble.
Wang Xiumin nodded in agreement; she was still very obedient to her father.
