Chapter 50 Zhang Guodong was ridiculed for his self-criticism
It was Lin Wanqing's first time attending a conference of this kind, so she couldn't help but feel curious and looked around.
Team leader Chen, Yang Aihua and some comrades who wanted to make progress sat at the front with pen and paper, waiting for the leader's lecture seriously and in a particularly flattering manner.
"Let me tell you, most people are just pretending, doing it for the bosses to see. In reality, few people really listen."
"But, there are always a few who want to show off, so the closer you are to the leader, the harder it is to grab."
No wonder Team Leader Chen and Yang Aihua rushed out of the office for the first time when the loudspeaker announced the meeting. It turned out that they were going to grab a seat.
Lin Wanqing and Wan Jiajia hid at the back and started to desert.
The leader's speech was like a lullaby, and soon Lin Wanqing began to feel drowsy.
She pinched her thigh hard to keep herself awake. To be honest, if she hadn't wanted to wait and see Zhang Guodong make a fool of himself, she would have fallen asleep long ago.
"As everyone knows, our factory will be undergoing rectification soon. Requirements in all aspects will be significantly increased, and discipline will be even stricter. So starting today, I hope everyone will be strict with theirselves and absolutely refrain from doing anything illegal or disorderly!"
"I would like to take this opportunity to warn you, my comrades, about the illegal and disciplinary violations committed by Comrade Zhang Guoliang of the Finance Department..."
These words made Lin Wanqing completely sober up. She rubbed her face and sat up straight.
It wasn't just Lin Wanqing, several people around her were also excited. It seemed that it was human nature to like watching the fun.
The punishment was just confiscation of bonuses, etc., which was not surprising to everyone. But when Zhang Guodong was pushed onto the podium, everyone was so shocked that their jaws dropped!
What's wrong with Zhang Guodong? How come he looks like this after not seeing him for a few days?
His face was pale from excessive blood loss, his eye sockets were sunken, and he looked haggard.
They are indeed husband and wife. The blood marks on Yang Aihua's face haven't disappeared yet, and her husband is already in a wheelchair. This is really intriguing.
I heard that Zhang Guoliang wanted to break into his brother's wife's room to steal something and was caught red-handed. Lin Wanqing was kind-hearted and didn't make a big deal out of it, otherwise he would still be locked up in there!
His wife is also funny. She stole her mother-in-law's money and was discovered by her mother-in-law. The blood marks on her face were caused by her mother-in-law scratching with her fingernails!
What a match made in heaven!
Let’s throw him into the Pacific Ocean together!
The people around her were talking non-stop. Lin Wanqing pricked up her ears and listened quietly, nodding her head in agreement from time to time.
Yang Aihua sat in the middle of the first row and made eye contact with Zhang Guodong on the stage.
Yang Aihua felt ashamed instantly. If she had known that Zhang Guodong would have to go on stage to make a self-criticism even if he was admitted to the hospital, she would definitely have found a seat in the back row to hide!
The entire auditorium was buzzing with discussions, one after another, making people feel irritated.
Yang Aihua couldn't show it, so she could only force herself to remain calm.
"Comrade Zhang Guoliang, you can start your self-criticism now." Zhou Ke urged.
Zhang Guodong's hands were shaking as he held the letter of apology, and he didn't dare to look down at all.
Those contemptuous and gloating looks were like knives stabbing him, and they wished they could torture him to death.
The mocking voices, one after another, were like a tide pressing towards him, enveloping him tightly and making it difficult for him to breathe.
Zhang Guodong didn't know how he got through it. He could only look at the manuscript and read mechanically.
"I was possessed by evil spirits and dared to call myself a human being. I harbored evil thoughts and almost became a thief. I have let my country, the Party, and the people down..."
People who were originally unaware of this matter also learned about Zhang Guodong's glorious deeds, making Zhang Guodong completely famous.
From now on, Zhang Guodong will always carry the stigma of a thief, no matter whether he stole anything at the time, he will never be able to take off this label in his life.
This is exactly the effect Lin Wanqing wanted. The person who loves face the most will lose it, and will have to live with his tail between his legs and suffer for the rest of his life.
Yang Aihua's face was gray and green. She sat there without looking at anyone else. She could only lower her head and stare at her notebook motionlessly.
After the meeting, Zhang Guodong, with cold sweat on his forehead, was pushed off the stage by Zhou Ke and handed over to Yang Aihua.
Yang Aihua finally came back to her senses and looked at Zhang Guodong as if he was facing a formidable enemy. "Here, what are you doing to me?"
"Isn't he your man?" Zhou Ke said sarcastically, "Just because your man did something wrong, do you really have to draw a line in the sand and ignore him from now on?"
Yang Aihua didn't have the courage to argue. She didn't say a word, lowered her head, and wanted to push Zhang Guodong away immediately to avoid being laughed at.
When the show was over, Lin Wanqing deliberately passed by them.
She tilted her head back, looking straight ahead, as if they didn't exist.
The more cold she was, the more irritated Yang Aihua became. Why was she so arrogant?
Zhang Guodong was somewhat fascinated by Lin Wanqing's back. He thought he knew her very well, but he was surprised and amazed by the changes in Lin Wanqing during this period.
The previous Lin Wanqing was so aloof and seemed to be out of touch with the world. It was both stressful and boring to interact with her, but now Lin Wanqing is full of life, laughing, scolding and being lively.
Yang Aihua noticed the look in Zhang Guodong's eyes when he looked at Lin Wanqing, and she felt sad.
"You don't know." Yang Aihua looked at Zhang Guodong coldly: "Lin Wanqing has found a new employer."
"He's still an officer."
There was a hint of sarcasm in her tone.
Zhang Guodong was stunned for a moment, then said, "Impossible."
He said it with absolute certainty, "Lin Wanqing will never look for another man except me."
He used the exact same face to seduce Lin Wanqing, and Lin Wanqing was able to refuse, let alone another man?
It can be said that Lin Wanqing was trained by him alone. She trusted him, relied on him, and was infatuated with him. After more than ten years of companionship and careful guidance, how could Lin Wanqing forget him in such a short time and return to the arms of another man?
His influence on Lin Wanqing must be deep-rooted and she must never forget it.
So Zhang Guodong didn't believe this nonsense at all.
Yang Aihua pushed Zhang Guodong forward and said unhappily, "You're really confident."
"If you're really that confident, go and persuade Lin Wanqing not to let us move out. Now she's ruined your reputation and you'll soon be homeless!"
Zhang Guodong remained firm and said, "We won't move out. Even if we do, it will only be temporary."
They walked very slowly because Yang Aihua really didn't have much strength to push Zhang Guodong, which resulted in them being pointed at and talked about by others along the way.
"That's Zhang Guodong! The one who stole things!"
"Huh? You were beaten like this because you tried to steal something?"
"It was said that he was trying to steal something from my brother's wife and was caught red-handed. It was so embarrassing! I saw him being taken away by the police with my own eyes!"
…
Good news doesn’t travel far, but bad news travels far and wide!
Zhang Guodong lowered his head and said angrily, "Can't you just take a couple of quick steps?"
The hospital is the factory’s employee hospital, and everyone you see is familiar.
Yang Aihua and Zhang Guodong tried to pretend not to see it, but the auntie kept chasing after them and asking -
"Guoliang, weren't you the one who just made a self-criticism at the meeting?"
"Don't do this again in the future! Being a down-to-earth person is better than anything else!"
Yang Aihua pushed Zhang Guodong and started running.
The old lady followed with trembling steps, step by step, "Hey, eldest brother's wife, why are you walking so fast? Wait a minute..."
What are we waiting for? Are we waiting for you to laugh at us?
Yang Aihua wished she could grow wings and fly away.
After the meeting, Lin Wanqing went to pick up her children.
When Sister Hong from the nursery handed Zhang Zhijie to Lin Wanqing, she deliberately made a sullen face and did not give Lin Wanqing a good look.
"The child just lost his father. As a mother, you should pay more attention to the child and not just be happy for yourself."
As she spoke, she touched Zhang Zhijie's head with heartache.
Lin Wanqing took Zhang Zhijie's schoolbag and asked, "What do you mean?"
Sister Hong wasn't one to hold back, so she spoke her mind without hesitation. "Your child said you didn't give him food! He ate three portions of rice at noon today to feel full!"
"How could you abuse a child?"
Sister Hong was conscientious and responsible. Lin Wanqing knew that there was no need for her to blame her, and she didn't want to make too many explanations.
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Sister Hong."
Lin Wanqing pulled Zhang Zhijie's hand and said, "Let's go and say goodbye to the teacher."
Zhang Zhijie then threw Lin Wanqing's hand away and yelled, "No, I won't go with you! You're not good to me! I want to be with the teacher!"
"Woo, woo, you're a bad guy! A bad guy!"
Zhang Zhijie hugged Sister Hong's thighs and started crying. Looking at Lin Wanqing with tears in his eyes, he felt like he had suffered a great injustice.
Sister Hong hugged Zhang Zhijie with a vigilant look.
This child is so afraid of his own mother, who knows how she must have been abused by her!
"Lin Wanqing, how on earth do you take care of the child? Why does he get so scared?" Sister Hong patted Zhang Zhijie's back and tried to comfort him.
Zhang Zhijie watched Lin Wanqing hide behind Sister Hong. "I don't want to go home with Mom! I don't want to!"
Lin Wanqing always controlled him, not allowing him to do this or that. He really didn't like being with Lin Wanqing at all.
Moreover, his grandmother also told him to say more bad things about Lin Wanqing, and it would be best if she said that Lin Wanqing beat him.
Zhang Zhijie's little eyes rolled around, and in a corner where Sister Hong couldn't see, he winked at Lin Wanqing mischievously and proudly.
Every child in the care home is Sister Hong's darling. When she heard Zhang Zhijie say this, she immediately touched his head lovingly, hugged him to herself, and said, "You will go home with the teacher today! Good boy, don't be afraid."
She said she would find out what exactly Lin Wanqing did to abuse the child and make him so scared.
