"You don't know, do you? Liu Jun has a lover in Xiansheng Village, and they already have a child together."
"What?!"
Dai Zhixin suddenly stood up and slammed his hand on the coffee table. "Are you telling the truth?"
“It’s absolutely true,” Wang Tianxiao said calmly. “This matter can be found out with a little inquiry. Farm manager, I know you value Liu Jun and are considering having him succeed you as farm manager. But my suggestion is that you should consider his conduct, otherwise if something happens to him, it will also implicate you.”
In this era, people place great importance on conduct and professional ethics.
The forest farm is a public institution. If there are any issues with conduct, the employee will be dismissed and given a warning.
If the allegations are proven true, Liu Jun will have virtually no chance of becoming the station manager, let alone staying at the station. Given his long history of misconduct, he will essentially never be able to hold his head high again in this era.
Wang Tianxiao really wanted to beat Liu Jun so badly that he couldn't take care of himself, but after thinking about it, he figured it would be better to ruin Liu Jun's future, make him unable to hold his head up in public for the rest of his life, and break up his family than to beat him up.
In this era of crackdown, it's easy to be caught on both sides if someone assaults another person. If he hits the scumbag too hard and cripples him, he might be sentenced to a heavy prison term or even executed. That would be a huge loss for him.
He wanted to give his wife and children a happy life, not just be a reckless brute.
"Xiao Wang, do you know what you're saying?" Dai Zhixin was taken aback that the person he admired had questionable conduct, so he had to be cautious.
"Manager, you know me well. When have I ever lied to you? I'm about to leave the station, and I couldn't bear to see you deceived and have your reputation ruined, so I told you this specifically. You can arrange for someone to investigate the details. The truth will always come out eventually, and we'll definitely find some clues."
"How did you know that?"
Wang Tianxiao smiled and said, "There are no secrets that stay hidden forever. Anyway, I found out. Alright, I've finished reporting to you. I'll take my leave now. Please take good care of yourself, and I'll come to see you when I have time."
"Let's go now, what's the rush? I'll treat you to mutton soup for lunch."
"No need for that..."
"I suddenly feel that it would be better for Big Black to stay at the station."
"Alright then, I'll have your mutton soup."
Wang Tianxiao couldn't do anything about the old man. He was hoping to get home early, maybe even before dark. Now that he was delayed, he probably wouldn't get back until midnight.
Wang Tianxiao left the farm manager's office and wandered around the farm for a while before spotting Dahei. From a distance, Dahei ran towards him like the wind, and when it got close, it suddenly jumped, almost knocking him over.
Big Black is completely black, without a single stray hair. Its eyes are particularly fierce when it sees prey, but they become very bright when it meets someone it likes, like a cute little girl.
She is already a mother of two, having given birth to six patrol dogs for the area, and now her puppies have all gone to work.
Wang Tianxiao squatted down, hugged Heizi's head in his arms, and asked with a smile, "Big Black, shall I take you home with me?"
Hei Zi whimpered and acted coquettishly, unable to understand what he was saying.
"Alright, I'll take that as your agreement."
He stood up, preparing to take one last look around the station. It seemed like a farewell, but it was also a way of reminiscing.
Big Black followed closely behind him, wagging its tail incessantly.
Along the way, he met many people. Wang Tianxiao seemed to recognize them, but he couldn't recall their names. Everyone greeted him, and he responded casually.
He didn't mention that he was leaving, and I doubt many people genuinely care about that.
After the meal, under the arrangement of the farm manager, Wang Tianxiao received his Type 56 semi-automatic rifle and ammunition, completed the transfer and handover of the weapon, and received his work assignment letter. The farm manager even thoughtfully wrote him a letter of introduction, so that he could still be used if he encountered difficulties in the local area later.
After all, the station's administrative level is in the city, so a small town can't afford to give it no special treatment.
Then came the farewell to Cui Wanshan.
Although Wang Tianxiao promised to come to the mountains to see him again if he had the chance, Cui Wanshan was still pessimistic, feeling that he might never see Wang Tianxiao again.
Wang Tianxiao felt a pang of emotion. Since he left the airfield, he had indeed never seen Cui Wanshan again in his previous life. Now that they had met again, it was as if they had been reborn.
All I can say is that everything depends on fate.
When Wang Tianxiao left, it was exactly noon, not a minute more or less.
Midnight is a turning point in the day, and his passing today is also a turning point in his life.
He pushed his bicycle, with some luggage on the back, and three dogs frolicked around him. Gazing into the distance, he roared, "The truly great men are those of today!"
Let's go!
The bicycle sped forward after crossing the crossbar.
There are actually two routes from Ziwu Ridge back to Yangzi Ridge. One is slightly wider, but it takes more than 30 miles to get around. The other route goes directly through the mountains, which is a bit difficult to travel, but it is much shorter.
Wang Tianxiao usually takes the main roads, as the side roads are not very safe.
In those days, social morals weren't so good, and robbers and thieves were rampant on the streets. If someone were really killed in the mountains and thrown into a ravine, their body would probably be rotting by the time it was found.
Even if we don't encounter highway robbers, there are still many wild beasts in the mountains. They might be a little more restrained during the day, but once night falls, many things will come out to forage. If they happen to run into a few stubborn guys, that person could very well become their midnight snack.
This time is different. Wang Tianxiao now has a gun on his back and a dog following behind him. If he doesn't encounter a pack of wolves, adult leopards, or black bears, he has a fighting chance.
