.
Wang Tianxiao was unaware that some people were already gnashing their teeth at him.
He suppressed his disgust and surprise. After his first meeting with Liu Jun, he had already made up his mind that he would not leave the station until he had dealt with Liu Jun this time.
I originally planned to use someone else to do my dirty work, but it seems that won't work at all.
You really can't get rid of this cancer unless you take action yourself.
He carried his things and went straight to Dai Zhixin's office on the second floor. He peered through the glass window and saw Dai Zhixin writing something at his desk.
As luck would have it, just as he looked inside, Dai Zhixin also looked up to relax his eyes and immediately spotted him peering through the window.
For a moment, I was stunned.
I thought I was seeing things.
After confirming that it really was Wang Tianxiao, he laughed and scolded in an annoyed tone: "If you're here, just come in. What are you squatting outside the window looking at? Are you afraid I'll eat you? I'm not a monster."
"Haha." Wang Tianxiao chuckled, walked around the partition wall into the room, and carried the things in his hands to the side of the desk.
"What did you mention?!"
"It's just some eating and drinking, nothing special."
Dai Zhixin pulled out a chair, glanced at the things, and said meaningfully, "Xiao Wang, why are you doing this kind of thing too?"
"What action?"
Wang Tianxiao looked bewildered. "It's just a junior bringing some food and drinks to an uncle."
"You shouldn't learn these things from others. You're not that kind of person."
“I didn’t mean to learn from anyone. This is just a small token of my appreciation as a junior. You know me. When have I ever asked someone for something?” Wang Tianxiao smiled, pulled up a chair and sat down. “See, you’re different from others in my eyes.”
Dai Zhixin was slightly surprised when he heard Wang Tianxiao say this. He stared intently at Wang Tianxiao's smiling face, trying to discern his true thoughts behind the smile.
But for some reason, this young man, whom he used to be able to see through at a glance, has now become armored. He can no longer see through the deepest thoughts, and he can only vaguely see the surface meaning.
I felt something was off when he came to resign last time, but I didn't think too much about it. A month later, he returned to the station and became more profound than before.
It makes it even more unpredictable.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore," Dai Zhixin said, not dwelling on the matter. "How are things going in Yangziling? I was saying when I'd like to go visit you, but I haven't been able to find the time yet."
"It's alright, but I didn't notice it before. Now that I'm there, I actually run into people illegally logging..."
"Really? You encountered poachers?"
Dai Zhixin was a little nervous. In this era, illegal loggers did more than just steal trees. Many of them were armed. If he encountered someone stubborn or reckless, they might actually kill and rob.
In the short span of seven or eight years that Dai Zhixin served as the farm manager, one patrolman had died in the line of duty, and another had his thigh pierced by a bullet and eventually had his leg amputated, becoming disabled.
People become very vulnerable when they encounter a gun.
Moreover, even if the patrolmen have guns, they are only allowed to stand guard or passively fight back according to regulations.
If they take the initiative to act, they may face an investigation.
When Wang Tianxiao mentioned illegal logging, his heartstrings were immediately tugged.
"Yes, there's more than one group."
Wang Tianxiao embellished the story and told Dai Zhixin about the Zhao brothers in Zhao Village in two separate stories.
In addition, a group of unknown illegal loggers was fabricated.
Dai Zhixin gasped in shock, exclaiming, "I never imagined something like this would happen in Yangziling."
“That’s right, it’s pretty much the same everywhere,” Wang Tianxiao agreed. “Especially Yangziling, where our station wasn’t officially under our management before, so those illegal loggers could act with impunity.”
"These woodworms!"
Dai Zhixin grew angrier as he listened. He was the kind of person who came from a big city and was full of enthusiasm for the country. He couldn't stand it when he heard that someone was harming the country's interests.
Wang Tianxiao had actually been waiting for him to look like this.
Although the two appear to be of very different ages, they are actually almost exactly the same age, both in their fifties.
The difference is that Wang Tianxiao has experienced the baptism of the new era, and his perspective on issues is deeper and more insightful than Dai Zhixin's.
Despite Wang Tianxiao only having a junior high school education and Dai Zhixin being a highly educated intellectual, the lack of experience meant that Dai Zhixin was completely unaware of the trap Wang Tianxiao had set for him.
They waded in step by step.
"Don't be angry. I'm here. As long as I'm in Yangziling, I won't let those people steal our public property. Don't worry."
Dai Zhixin's expression softened somewhat, and he said to Wang Tianxiao with relief, "In that case, it's quite a coincidence that you were able to get to Yangziling. However, can you handle these lawbreakers all by yourself?"
"I was a little nervous being alone," Wang Tianxiao said with a wry smile. "Fortunately, I had asked you beforehand about planting some things among the trees in the mountains to make a living, so I found a few people to help me. They can be of some use in a critical moment."
"Oh, that's good, that's good."
"They are currently living at the station as well, I should let you know that."
“Let them stay,” Dai Zhixin laughed. “I remember there are about twenty houses at Yangziling Station, right? Anyway, they’re all empty. Let them stay as long as they want. Empty houses are more likely to deteriorate.”
"Then thank you very much, former farm manager."
“It’s nothing, it’s not easy for you to be guarding that place all by yourself,” Dai Zhixin said, then suddenly had an idea and asked, “By the way, aren’t you alone? Should we arrange for someone else to go over there?”
