Gu Xuan also came to Chen Zhigong's office. He stood at the window and saw the man inside leisurely sitting with his legs crossed, drinking tea and reading a newspaper.
He pushed open the office door and walked in.
Chen Zhigong thought it was another idler looking for him. He turned his head away from the newspaper and was about to get angry at the person, but the moment he saw Gu Xuan, he panicked.
"Director Gu, what do you want to talk to me about?"
In panic, there was a bang and Chen Zhigong knocked over his teacup.
Gu Xuan walked over and turned off the fan, and took the newspaper from Chen Zhigong's hand.
He said with a fake smile, "Chen Yuren has time to entertain himself and read newspapers. Why don't you take everyone here to help the Red Flag Brigade harvest rice?"
"...T-T-T."
Chen Zhigong was stunned. He never expected that Gu Xuan would suddenly come to his place to capture able-bodied men to work. The key point was that he was actually caught red-handed by this man.
He really had no way to defend himself and couldn't express his pain.
"Don't worry, Director Gu. I will immediately organize all the administrative staff of the company to go to the Red Flag Brigade to help harvest the rice."
Although Chen Zhigong had a smile on his face, he was actually very upset inside, because the rice harvesting in the countryside was not the business of cadres like them, and he was not responsible for it.
He really has no way of expressing his pain.
Gu Xuan smiled and corrected him, "Chen Yiren, remember, you are not here to help the Red Flag Brigade. When you go there, the village cadres of the Red Flag Brigade will assign you tasks according to your work, so you must complete your work tasks on time and in full."
"Tutto."
Chen Zhigong couldn't help but burst out laughing bitterly.
There was no way. Although Gu Xuan was the director of the arsenal, his administrative level was much higher than theirs. If Gu Xuan wanted to meddle in their affairs, they could only accept their fate.
Before leaving, Gu Xuan deliberately emphasized, "Hurry up!"
Chen Zhigong couldn't even force a smile on his old face at this moment.
In the rice fields of the Hongqi Brigade.
Chi Junjie endured slowly for an hour and a half, and finally when the sun was high in the sky, he went to Chi Bilin again.
Gang and Cheng Nan, who were in charge of the educated youth group, looked at each other with helplessness in their eyes.
There is no other way. If they want to be able to return to the city smoothly in the future, they can only endure it. After all, they have a cousin who is a cadre.
"Sister, I think the time is about right, what do you think?"
Chi Bilian was already tired. She nodded and said her plan, "Xiao Jie, you are a boy. You should try to test Secretary Zheng's attitude first. If you succeed, I will make braised pork for you tomorrow as a reward."
"Um."
Chi Junjie was very excited. As long as there was a hope of not having to work, he would be willing to do anything.
"Sister, do you think I'm pretending to be dizzy?"
Chi Bilian thought for a moment and shook her head, "Change someone else, she's afraid she'll use this trick later."
"Then I'll pretend to sprain my ankle."
Chi Bilian did not object.
Chi Junjie did what he said. He suddenly shouted "ah" which attracted the attention of people around him.
"I... I sprained my foot!"
After shouting, he sat on the ground, hugging his legs.
The educated youth around were speechless upon seeing this, but when they saw that Gang and Cheng Nan, as team leaders, did not express any opinions, they did not want to offend the cadres' relatives even more.
If these cadres make a note of it in their files when they return to the city in the future, they will be in big trouble.
Soon, Zheng Tao came over with the old village doctor.
"What happened again?"
Chi Bilian knelt on the ground and said softly in a sobbing voice, "Secretary Zheng, my brother accidentally sprained his foot."
