"It's not anyone's idea, but the rules and regulations are like this. Please understand, Major General Zhou!" Seeing Zhou Zhixin's sharp question, the smile on Secretary Jin's face froze.
"Whether I move or not is not your turn as a secretary to tell me what to do. I still live in this building. If you want me to move, you should ask Zhu Xiangyang to come and talk to me in person." Zhou Zhixin was so angry that he even dropped the title of "Minister Zhu" and replaced it with the three words Zhu Xiangyang.
"Okay, you wait. When Minister Zhu speaks in person, I'll see how your Zhou family can put up a face!" Secretary Jin got angry when he saw Zhou Zhixin's impolite words.
"Get out!" Zhou Zhixin slammed the door in anger.
Now that he knew Secretary Jin's intentions, Zhou Zhixin didn't want to waste time talking to him. Damn, a barking thing came so early in the morning.
Rules and regulations? Doesn’t Zhou Zhixin understand these rules and regulations?
Zhou Zhixin knew that this small building was not for him. He had moved in with his wife and children so that General Zhou could experience the atmosphere of family.
The Zhou family wasn't the only one living like this in the compound. Even Zhu Xiangyang himself, a few years ago, hadn't his entire family, including his sons and grandsons, all squeezed into his small building? But later, Zhu Xiangyang's family grew too large and the small building was not big enough, so his children and grandchildren bought houses outside and moved in.
A few days ago, because of the busy arrangements for General Zhou's funeral, the Zhou family members were so busy that they had no time and energy to pack up, let alone think about moving.
Zhou Zhixin's original plan was to wait for ten days or half a month to rest and recover some of everyone's energy before packing up.
In the next few days, Zhou Zhixin will report to his superiors, apply for his residence, and then move out with his family.
With Zhou Zhixin's level, he could also be allocated a small building in this compound, but the location would probably be a little further away than General Zhou's.
Zhou Zhixin never thought of staying.
It is precisely because of this that I was deeply angry about Secretary Jin’s behavior of coming to the house to chase people away.
Secretary Jin looked at the closed door outside, snorted, and walked away with his head held high. He just couldn't believe that Zhou Zhixin, without General Zhou's protection, would dare to confront Minister Zhu.
After Zhou Zhixin returned to the house, Zhou Jiasheng came up to him and asked, "Dad, who was that person?"
"Don't bother with a whirlwind guy like him." Zhou Zhixin was afraid that Zhou Jiasheng, out of youthful impatience, would go to Zhu Xiangyang's house to reason with him. He simply didn't mention Secretary Jin's visit to urge them to move.
If you think about it, this matter should be Secretary Jin's doing. If it was Zhu Xiangyang who took action, he should have directly issued him an official letter.
Seeing that Zhou Zhixin was unwilling to talk, Zhou Jiasheng did not ask any further questions.
If there was something serious going on at home, Zhou Zhixin wouldn't hide it from him. Besides, anyone who could enter this compound wouldn't be an unknown person. If Zhou Jiasheng wanted to know, he could just ask his bodyguards to investigate.
Zhou Zhixin didn't take this little thing to heart at all. After he calmed down, he let it go.
Regardless of whether Secretary Jin's behavior was instructed by Zhu Xiangyang or was Secretary Jin's own behavior, Zhou Zhixin felt that there was no need to be angry.
Zhou Zhixin had no intention of living in this building forever. It was just a building. Perhaps it represented status and prestige in the eyes of some people, but for Zhou Zhixin, nothing was more important than his family's happiness.
Wherever his family is, that is Zhou Zhixin’s home.
Secretary Jin was humiliated by Zhou Zhixin and spent the whole day thinking about how to teach Zhou Zhixin a profound lesson.
When it was almost time to get off work, Secretary Jin still hadn't figured out how to talk to Zhu Xiangyang about this matter. He scratched his head for a moment, not knowing how to bring up the topic.
"Xiao Jin, you seem a little upset today! Is there something wrong?" Zhu Xiangyang couldn't help but ask when he was about to get off work.
"Yes, yes! Minister Zhu really has a keen eye! You can even see this?" Secretary Jin said flatteringly.
Zhu Xiangyang smiled slightly.
Secretary Jin has been hovering around Zhu Xiangyang all day, looking as if hesitant to speak. It would be strange if nothing happened! Does she think he's blind?
If Zhu Xiangyang didn't want to go home and face a cold wall after get off work, he wouldn't bother to meddle in Secretary Jin's affairs.
"Minister Zhu, you don't know that when I came to pick you up for work this morning, I stopped by Zhou's house..." Secretary Jin spoke eloquently, and spoke in a righteous manner about disturbing someone's sleep early in the morning.
At the end, Secretary Jin said, "Minister Zhu, I didn't want to tell you about this originally, for fear that you would be angry. But Zhou Zhixin was really too much. I just reminded him that his current residence in General Zhou's small building was not in compliance with the rules and regulations, and he told me to get out..."
Secretary Jin stopped talking here and glanced at Zhu Xiangyang's expression.
Secretary Jin had a plan. If Zhu Xiangyang scolded him for meddling, it would mean that Zhu Xiangyang didn't take his feud with General Zhou seriously. From then on, Secretary Jin would let go of the Zhou family's affairs.
Zhu Xiangyang was leaning back in a large armchair with his eyes closed. When he saw Secretary Jin stop talking mid-sentence, he couldn't help but open his eyes and glance at Secretary Jin.
There was no expression in Zhu Xiangyang's eyes, but Secretary Jin couldn't help but shiver.
Zhu Xiangyang's eyes were cold, devoid of any warmth. Was this still the affable Minister Zhu he had thought of before?
Fortunately, Zhu Xiangyang's indifference only lasted a few seconds. After a few seconds, Zhu Xiangyang smiled and asked, "What did Zhou Zhixin say?"
Hey! Looks like the rumors about Zhu Xiangyang and General Zhou having a grudge are true? Minister Zhu couldn't help but get angry when the Zhou family was mentioned!
Secretary Jin's eyes lit up, and she didn't dare to keep the secret any longer, so she quickly continued:
"Zhou Zhixin said... that a junior secretary like me had no right to speak to him. If they want him to move, Minister Zhu has to speak personally. Minister Zhu, Zhou Zhixin is too arrogant. He's just a minor general, but he doesn't even take a veteran like you seriously. He actually calls you by your first name. I really can't stand it."
Secretary Jin saw a hint of anger on Zhu Xiangyang's face and quickly added fuel to the fire.
"Zhou Zhixin still thinks things are still the same as before! When General Zhou was around, he could still act arrogantly. Now General Zhou is gone, but he's still acting so arrogantly. This is definitely a style of "arrogance"! This kind of unhealthy trend must not be allowed to grow. Besides, when beating a dog, you have to look at the owner, right? He clearly knows that I'm Minister Zhu's man, but he didn't give us any face at all. Minister Zhu, what do you think we should do about this matter? Should we just let it go? Or..."
Having said that, Secretary Jin stopped talking and observed Zhu Xiangyang's expression.
