Su Qingyun smiled, told the whole story, and then introduced Shen Changfu's identity.
The more Qin Youfu listened, the tighter his brows furrowed. He looked at Zhang Meng in disbelief. This was his distant cousin, and how could he cheat him like this?
The look in his eyes when he looked at Su Qingyun was full of regret and guilt. Qingyun had clearly reminded him before, but he still chose to believe Zhang Meng.
The bricks are unqualified and the school is an unqualified building. Now that things have come to this, as the team leader, he cannot shirk his responsibility.
"Captain, we can't just let this go. The money we allocated to build this school wasn't enough, but every household chipped in. Now we're in this situation, you absolutely have to give us an explanation!"
"Yeah, no one's money comes from the wind. We pay them and have people cook and deliver meals to them every day, and this is the result we get. It's too much!"
"Also, if this school can't be inhabited, how are we going to admit students next year? What about all these kids who are of school age? We have to solve this problem, right?"
Qin Youfu felt even more guilty as he listened to the chatter of the villagers around him.
"Everyone calm down first. I believe that now that people from the brick factory have arrived, they will definitely resolve this matter." He tried hard to control his emotions and comfort everyone.
Shen Changfu took a deep breath and immediately stated: "Everyone, please be quiet. I want to say a few words on behalf of the Red Star Brick Factory."
"First of all, I want to explain to everyone that the circulation of these substandard bricks is definitely not the work of our brick factory. This is entirely an individual's behavior. I am here to investigate this matter. Now that I have a clear understanding of the specific situation, I will return to the factory and report to the leadership. I will definitely deal with it seriously and give everyone an explanation!"
When he said this, he was looking at Zhang Meng and others. Several workers' faces turned pale in an instant, and they lost all their blood color. Zhang Meng was also very panicked, but he kept comforting himself, saying that it was okay, his brother-in-law would definitely protect him, and he was doing things for him, so he must not panic and lose his composure.
Zhang Meng has not yet realized the seriousness of the matter. If this matter is investigated, his brother-in-law will have a hard time protecting himself, let alone taking care of him.
"Our brick factory will definitely compensate everyone for all the losses. As for the construction schedule for next year's school opening, I also want to assure everyone here that our factory will definitely send new people to build the school for you, ensuring the quality and quantity, and completing it on schedule so that all children can go to school."
After Shen Changfu finished speaking, everyone calmed down a little. Someone looked at Su Qingyun and asked, "Su family girl, what do you think?"
The eyes of the others also shifted over. No one thought there was anything wrong with him asking Su Qingyun for his opinion. After all, it was someone else who discovered the matter. If it weren't for Su Qingyun, they would still be kept in the dark.
Su Qingyun thought for a moment and said, "I think everyone can trust the brick factory. It's such a big factory, it won't joke about its reputation. Even if there are a few bad people, we can't blame everyone. Comrade Shen came to our village today, upholding a responsible attitude. Let's let him go back and report to the factory first."
"Okay, sure."
"Then give them another chance."
Everyone expressed their opinions.
Qin Youfu wiped his face and gritted his teeth, saying, "As the leader of our village, this matter is my dereliction of duty. I apologize to everyone."
"Captain, how can I blame you for this? You didn't even know about it."
"Yes, you take care of so many things in our village every day, big and small. How can you take care of them all? It's not too late to know now. I believe no one will blame you."
None of the villagers had any complaints against Qin Youfu. Qin Youfu had been the team leader for some years and had always worked hard for the village. Everyone could see it. Even the most mean-spirited people could not find fault with him. He had a very high prestige in the village.
When Qin Youfu heard these words, he couldn't help but feel red in the eyes. He said loudly: "Thank you for your understanding. I will go to the brick factory with Comrade Shen and ask for an explanation."
Shen Changfu nodded, "Okay."
It would be better for the parties involved to go along so that they can discuss solutions better.
Several workers huddled together, their hearts filled with bitterness. It seemed that this matter really could not be resolved peacefully.
Zhang Meng's face was pale, and he held on tightly, almost not daring to meet Shen Changfu's eyes.
