Xu Jianguo heard her unfriendly tone and immediately guessed what she meant.
Although he admired Zhao Wenjuan's vigilance, he didn't like her tone, so he said calmly, "Comrade Zhao Wenjuan, may I ask in what capacity you are asking me this question?"
"I..." Zhao Wenjuan was choked by this sentence and didn't know how to respond. If she asked in her personal capacity, it wouldn't be appropriate. After all, the other party had no obligation to tell her. If she asked on behalf of the organization, it would be even less appropriate. After all, she was just a researcher at the County Agricultural Bureau and hadn't yet joined the organization. It was impossible for her to represent the organization.
Li Mancang didn't expect that Zhao Wenjuan would suddenly ask this question. No wonder her attitude towards him suddenly turned cold.
Although he could understand her vigilance, he couldn't help but feel a little angry at her attitude towards Xu Jianguo. After all, the matter hadn't been fully investigated. I didn't expect you to be polite, but at least you could maintain your previous attitude and ask questions first. But you, on the other hand, put on a sour face right from the start. Who were you trying to show?
This is Xu Jianguo's home. They've treated you to delicious food and drinks, and their little sister is watching. And you're talking to them like that? Even a clay figure can have a temper, and so can any man. If you don't give them face, why should they indulge you?
Li Mancang knew that Xu Jianguo helped the National Compilation and Translation Bureau translate materials, but he was not ready to speak up now. Whoever caused the trouble should solve it. You don't care about other people's face, so why should I help you speak up and smooth things over? Besides, Xu Jianguo is the most outstanding young man in their Sandaliang Village. Even the high commissioner of the administrative office praises him. How can you, a researcher from the county agricultural bureau, have the right to make irresponsible remarks here?
Upon hearing the tone of their conversation, Lin Jianghai quickly spoke up, "Jianguo, please don't mind. Comrade Zhao Wenjuan didn't mean anything else. You know this is a special time. She asked this out of her patriotism and vigilance as a Longxia citizen. I hope you don't mind."
"Let's not talk about the book for now. Tell me the purpose of your visit today!" Xu Jianguo did not continue talking about the book, but asked something else.
Zhao Wenjuan was glanced at by Xu Jianguo's indifferent eyes, and her heart trembled. She swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
When Xu Jianguo saw Zhao Wenjuan's hesitant look, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart. He originally thought that Zhao Wenjuan was a person who was old-fashioned in her work but full of passion in her heart, but now he found that he was wrong. She was a self-righteous person from beginning to end. She looked down on the villagers like them because of her job in the County Agricultural Bureau. From her attitude when she spoke to Li Mancang when she first came to Sandaliang Village, it can be seen that Zhao Wenjuan is not only a fool, but also a self-righteous fool.
"Well, actually, it's like this. We tested the fertilizer we took away from you last time and got some very surprising results. This time we came here to ask you, did you add anything else to the fertilizer when you were fermenting it? We found several other substances in the fertilizer, but we still haven't concluded what these substances are, so we wanted to ask you if there is anything else you haven't told us." Lin Jianghai organized his words and spoke.
"No, what I told you last time is everything," said Xu Jianguo.
"Jianguo, do you want to think about it again?" Lin Jianghai continued with some reluctance.
"Don't think about it, there really isn't one."
Just as Lin Jianghai was about to continue speaking, Li Mancang finally couldn't help but say, "Researcher Lin, Researcher Zhao, what exactly do you two mean? Are you treating Comrade Xu Jianguo as a criminal?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Jianghai quickly explained, "No, no, Captain Li, please don't misunderstand me. I really didn't mean that. I was simply too curious about those untested substances, so my tone was rude. I apologize to Comrade Xu Jianguo."
After hearing his words, Li Mancang's expression brightened a little, and he continued, "Since Jianguo said no, then there is no. Let's go and don't disturb him."
After saying this, Li Mancang got up from the bed, put on his shoes, and looked at the two people still sitting on the kang.
Lin Jianghai was fine. He smiled awkwardly at Xu Jianguo, apologized, and then got down to put on his shoes.
Looking at Zhao Wenjuan again, her face was a little red, not sure if it was because of anger or embarrassment, but she was still sitting on the kang without moving.
Li Mancang asked, "Comrade Zhao Wenjuan, what do you mean?"
"He hasn't answered my question yet!"
"You..." Li Mancang was about to speak when he was interrupted by Xu Jianguo's voice.
"I don't need to answer your questions. Where this book came from has nothing to do with you. I don't know when your county agricultural bureau started to have the power of law enforcement. Who gave you the right to question me? You don't have to stare at me like that. If you are not satisfied, you can go to the county public security bureau to report and let the public security comrades come to ask me. As for you, you are not welcome in my home. Please leave. If you insist on staying, I don't mind throwing you out!" Xu Jianguo said in a cold tone.
He thought he was a reasonable man, but today he was really pissed off by this stupid woman. It wasn't that he didn't want to tell her the origin of the book. First, she really wasn't qualified to question him with such a condescending attitude. Second, Yan Wenhua had told him at the time that some things needed to be kept confidential. Although the book he was translating now was not confidential, he didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble because of this stupid woman.
At this time, Funniu, who was squatting on the ground playing, stood up and ran to Xu Jianguo. She held his big hand with her small hand and stared at Zhao Wenjuan on the kang with a bad look.
Xiao Hei's senses were also very sensitive, and he would let out low growls from time to time.
This series of changes made Zhao Wenjuan a little dazed. She didn't expect Xu Jianguo's attitude to be so tough, nor did she expect that the little girl who looked harmless before would glare at her at this time. Her face suddenly turned redder.
At this time, Lin Jianghai walked to the kang and said, "Zhao Wenjuan, get up quickly. We have to rush back as soon as possible. The section chief is waiting for our report!"
It is not known whether what Lin Jianghai said was true or false. In any case, Zhao Wenjuan did not stay here any longer. Instead, she quickly got up from the kang, put on her shoes, and walked out with a gloomy face.
When they reached the gate, Lin Jianghai and Zhao Wenjuan were the first to leave, but Li Mancang didn't move. He looked at the two outside and said, "Researcher Lin, Researcher Zhao, I have something to say to Comrade Xu Jianguo, so I won't see you off. Bye!"
After saying this, the expressions of the two people outside the yard became even uglier, but Lin Jianghai's face was full of embarrassment, while Zhao Wenjuan's face was full of resentment.
