Chapter 65 Framing
As soon as Section Chief Liao finished speaking, everyone in the office turned their attention to Yu Junsheng.
Sun Zhengye was the first to speak, asking in a seemingly tactful manner, "Junsheng, you just went to Section Chief Liao's office to get some documents for me, could it be that you...?"
Yu Junsheng said directly, "Don't try to be funny, it wasn't me!"
Sun Zhengye choked, but then, as if he couldn't understand what was being said, he looked at Yu Junsheng with disappointment, "Junsheng, I entrusted this matter to you because I trusted you. How could you be so careless as to lose such an important blueprint?"
Yu Junsheng: "..."
Although he was a little speechless, he still managed to keep his composure.
Yu Junsheng looked at Section Chief Liao with an innocent expression, "Section Chief, it really wasn't me!"
Section Chief Liao's face was dark and gloomy, revealing nothing about him.
Sun Zhengye frowned, as if he was very disappointed in him. "Junsheng, the blueprints are lost, so be it. If you admit it truthfully, although you will be punished, it was an accident after all. The factory will take it into consideration when handling the matter. It's better than lying and being exposed. Then it won't be something that can be overlooked with just one demerit."
Oh, you haven't even said anything yet, and you're already labeling me?
Yu Junsheng glanced at Sun Zhengye with a half-smile, "Look at you, talking as if you know the situation better than I, the person involved."
He said seriously to Section Chief Liao, whose face was stern and dark, "Section Chief Liao, I did go into your office just now because Sun Zhengye said he had a stomachache and asked me to get some documents for him, saying that you needed them urgently. Although I don't know why he insisted on having me get them when there are so many people in the office, I'm just being helpful, so I helped him out of colleagueship."
“I went in, took the document he mentioned, and came out. I definitely didn’t take the blueprints, and I’m sure I didn’t ‘accidentally’ bring them out.”
Sun Zhengye's face stiffened, but he quickly stammered, "But, you were the only one who went into Section Chief Liao's office just now..."
Although the words were left unsaid, the meaning was clear: you were the only one who entered the office; if it wasn't you, Yu Junsheng, then who was it?
Surely the blueprint couldn't have just vanished into thin air?
In the office, apart from Yu Junsheng's mentor, Yao Qinglin, and Wang Xiaowu who was out, everyone else was whispering among themselves and looking at Yu Junsheng with suspicion.
Sun Zhengye looked at Yu Junsheng with a hint of smugness in his eyes.
Now let's see how you explain yourself.
Yu Junsheng gave Sun Zhengye a deep look.
I never realized before that this kid was so hostile towards me. Is he trying to pin the blame for losing the blueprints on me?
But you think you can kill yourself like this?
That clearly shows a lack of understanding of him.
Yu Junsheng smiled slightly at Sun Zhengye, then said in a cryptic tone, "Who said I was the only one who went into Section Chief Liao's office?"
“Junsheng, don’t say any more. We know…” Sun Zhengye looked understanding but also very heartbroken.
Before he could finish speaking, Yu Junsheng continued:
“I went with Yao Qinglin, and we can both vouch for each other. We absolutely did not take anything we shouldn’t have.”
Sun Zhengye's affected expression changed abruptly, and he looked up at Yu Junsheng and Yao Qinglin in disbelief.
How could this be?!
I clearly called for Yu Junsheng alone, how did it become a call for Yao Qinglin?!
Others might not know, but he did. Yao Qinglin was a relative of Section Chief Liao, and with him as a witness, Section Chief Liao would most likely believe Yu Junsheng.
Haven't I wasted my time being a petty person?
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Yao Qinglin immediately became excited and raised his hand, saying, "Section Chief, Yu Junsheng went to Section Chief Liao's office with me. I can testify for him that he only took a document for the meeting and absolutely did not touch anything else, let alone take any blueprints."
Yao Qinglin had been holding back for a long time, and if Yu Junsheng hadn't been holding him back, he would have jumped out and spoken already.
He suddenly remembered something and said to Section Chief Liao, "Oh, I didn't take it either! You have to believe me, Second Uncle!"
Everyone: "..."
Okay, we know, it wasn't you!
Yu Junsheng's lips twitched. So Yao Qinglin was Section Chief Liao's nephew. It turned out that he had made the right decision to bring this guy along!
At the time, Yu Junsheng felt it was a bit strange that Sun Zhengye asked him to help him get something, so he took a precaution and called Yao Qinglin along.
After all, this person has been targeting me lately, and his words always have a sour tone. If he needs help, he shouldn't be asking me for it.
Who knew there was a real pitfall in this?
Section Chief Liao stood there listening for a long time with a dark face, his expression unreadable.
His gaze swept from Yu Junsheng's face to Sun Zhengye, and after a long while, he solemnly said, "This matter is of great importance. I need to report it to Deputy Factory Director Yang. No one is allowed to leave until the matter is thoroughly investigated."
Whether intentional or unintentional, the blueprints have now been leaked, and a new design is inevitable.
This matter must be reported to Deputy Factory Director Yang.
If it was just smuggled out unintentionally, that would be fine. But if it was intentionally stolen, then we'll have to dig deeper into this matter... Section Chief Liao's eyes darkened.
Everyone understood the seriousness of the matter and had no objections to this arrangement.
Yu Junsheng was even more nonchalant, since he hadn't done it and he shouldn't be the one in a hurry.
Only Sun Zhengye's expression changed slightly. Thinking about the possible consequences of investigating this matter, his hands clenched involuntarily, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.
Yu Junsheng noticed this, a playful smile appearing on his lips. He asked with concern, "Comrade Zhengye, what's wrong? Are you hot? Why are you sweating on your forehead?"
Everyone followed his gaze and saw that Sun Zhengye had a layer of white sweat on his forehead.
Sun Zhengye was startled. Damn it, how did he get noticed?
Sun Zhengye quickly forced a smile, "Hehe, I wore too many clothes this morning, it was indeed a bit hot."
"Oh, I see."
Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed that Section Chief Liao narrowed his eyes, as if deep in thought.
Yu Junsheng smiled noncommittally, as if he were just asking casually.
Deputy Factory Director Yang, being a former soldier, was decisive and efficient. Upon learning of the incident, he immediately ordered a factory-wide investigation.
Soon, the security department reported that the torn blueprints had been found in a trash can on the first floor of the office building.
Their technical department office is on the second floor. Everyone was in a meeting just now, so theoretically they didn't have time to go to Section Chief Liao's office to steal the blueprints.
With this, the people in their office have been cleared of suspicion.
Anyway, Section Chief Liao relented and let them go.
Sun Zhengye breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled awkwardly at Yu Junsheng and said,
"Junsheng, I'm sorry, I just thought you really... I was afraid you didn't know the seriousness of the matter and made a mistake, so I wanted to persuade you to confess so that you would be treated leniently. You won't blame me, will you?"
Yu Junsheng gave him a half-smile, "How could that be? You're only doing this for my own good, that's why you're so eager to pin the blame on me, afraid I won't be punished by Section Chief Liao. I'm grateful to you, how could I blame you?"
Sun Zhengye was initially a little nervous, but after hearing the first few sentences, he felt relieved. He was indeed a stupid fool.
"That's good, then I'm relieved..."
Suddenly, he realized what Yu Junsheng had said, and his expression changed drastically.
"No, what do you mean, Yu Junsheng?!"
Yu Junsheng completely ignored Sun Zhengye's meaning and only thanked Yao Qinglin, saying, "Yao Qinglin, thank you for today. I'll treat you to dinner another day!"
He picked up his things and walked away.
He needs to go home to see his wife; he doesn't have time to argue with this idiot.
The matter seemed to be over, but Yu Junsheng knew it was far from over.
The blueprints have been found, but who knows if their contents have been stolen? Has their research data been leaked?
Furthermore, the office of the head of the technical department is so free for thieves to come and go. If the blueprints went missing this time, what will go missing next?
How could Section Chief Liao and Deputy Factory Director Yang tolerate such things happening?
It's obvious that a crackdown is imminent.
Did Sun Zhengye think this matter was over and done with? Ha!
Yao Qinglin suppressed a laugh, glanced at Sun Zhengye, patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly with his round face, "Brother, nobody's a fool!"
After saying that, he caught up with Yu Junsheng and left.
Oh dear, Comrade Yu Junsheng still suits his taste perfectly.
This guy is really funny! I should learn from him!
Sun Zhengye was left standing there alone, his expression constantly shifting between light and shadow.
...
Although something delayed him for a while, it didn't spoil Yu Junsheng's good mood.
It's still early, he can go back and spend some time being intimate with his sweet and soft wife.
He's been so busy lately, he's been really bored. Today he finally has time to enjoy the nightlife with his wife, hehe.
Yu Junsheng had a great plan, but unfortunately, he was followed by a clueless idiot.
Yao Qinglin caught up, panting, and slapped Yu Junsheng on the shoulder. "Hey kid, why are you running so fast? Where are you going? Take me with you!"
Yu Junsheng winced in pain, barely managing to keep his eyes from rolling back in his head. Considering the man had just helped him, Yu Junsheng tried his best to soften his voice.
"It's so late, of course we should go home. Comrade Yao, aren't you going home?"
Did you hear me? Hurry up and go home, stop clinging to me!!
But Yao Qinglin seemed not to understand, saying, "I'm not going back. What's the point of going home? It's meaningless!"
His eyes suddenly lit up. "Hey Yu Junsheng, didn't you say you were going to treat me to dinner? Can I come over to your house? You're such an interesting person, your house must be really interesting too!"
Yu Junsheng: "..."
I don't wish to receive you, thank you!
But this person had just helped me, so I couldn't refuse.
Yu Junsheng's mind raced, and he finally came up with a perfectly reasonable and harmless excuse: "Comrade Yao, why don't you go see Section Chief Liao tonight and explain today's situation to him in detail?"
Seeing Yao Qinglin hesitate, Yu Junsheng pressed on.
"Go and explain Sun Zhengye's situation to Section Chief Liao, so that he has a clear understanding of the situation."
When the blueprints were lost, Sun Zhengye was in a meeting and didn't have time to steal them or throw them in the trash can on the first floor.
The blueprints couldn't have been stolen by Sun Zhengye, but he was definitely involved.
What he didn't say was that he hadn't been at the factory long and didn't think he had offended anyone, so why would others go to such lengths to deal with him?
It's hard to say whether the incident of losing the blueprints was aimed at him or at Section Chief Liao.
Yao Qinglin slapped the back of his head. "Oh dear, it's true! Look at me, I really need to tell my uncle about this. That guy surnamed Sun is indeed a bit strange!"
He waved to Yu Junsheng, "I'm leaving now. Next time, I'll come to your house again when I have time!"
Yu Junsheng: "..."
Yu Junsheng breathed a sigh of relief after getting rid of the clingy person.
They finally managed to trick them into leaving!
You can treat Yao Qinglin to a meal at the state-run restaurant during lunchtime; let's skip the home meal.
He didn't want a bright, annoying third wheel to interfere with the little time he and his wife had alone together.
With the chattering of people gone, Yu Junsheng sped up considerably and arrived at the courtyard in no time.
Upon arriving at his doorstep, Yu Junsheng's eyes darted around, and the happy expression on his face instantly vanished, replaced by a look of grievance. He pushed open the door and loudly complained...
"Wife, wife, you have no idea how wronged I was at the factory today."
A furious roar suddenly came from the kitchen, "What?!"
Cheng Jiajia stormed out, brandishing a kitchen knife.
"Who?! Which little brat dares to make my man suffer?"
Yu Junsheng's heart skipped a beat in fright, and he stammered,
"Wife, wife, let's talk this out, let's talk this out..."
"Put the knife down! Put it down now!"
"Honey, let's not be impulsive, let's not be impulsive. You're such a good girl, we can't let such a scoundrel ruin your life."
Cheng Jiajia: "???"
Until I saw the kitchen knife in my hand...
Cheng Jiajia: "..."
Cheng Jiajia immediately put her right hand, along with the kitchen knife, behind her back, touched her nose, and gave an awkward smile.
"Hehe, I was chopping vegetables just now, and I got flustered in a moment of panic."
She asked, quite embarrassed, "Did I scare you?"
Yu Junsheng smiled bravely, "No, wife."
If you ignore his slightly pale complexion, then there really isn't a big problem.
God knows, he just wanted to play the victim and get some sweetness from his wife that night, how did things turn out like this?
He was terrified when he saw his wife come out carrying a kitchen knife.
He thought she was going to kill that bastard Sun Zhengye.
Cheng Jiajia coughed awkwardly, her toes already digging into the space between her toes.
So she cleverly changed the subject, "Ahem, well, didn't you say someone was bullying you? How were you bullied?"
Yu Junsheng took a breath and then recounted everything that had happened at the factory that day.
Cheng Jiajia was furious. "What a bastard! How can he be so petty? He's trying to harm you just because you're better than him?"
Yu Junsheng quickly reassured the man, saying that the factory had cleared his name and that the man's days were likely to be difficult.
Cheng Jiajia's anger subsided slightly.
However, she was still unhappy that she couldn't take revenge herself, so she said,
“Tonight, this person will definitely go to his accomplices to discuss the next steps. Should we…” Cheng Jiajia said, giving Yu Junsheng a knowing look.
Yu Junsheng's eyes lit up. "As expected of my wife, she's just as smart as me, hehe!"
Cheng Jiajia rolled her eyes. "You really know how to flatter yourself!"
Yu Junsheng chuckled, then whispered to Cheng Jiajia, "Honey, um, could you take me with you when you go out tonight?"
Cheng Jiajia refused without hesitation, "No, it's easier for me to move around by myself."
Yu Junsheng immediately pulled her into his arms, clinging to her affectionately, "Wife, my good wife, take me with you, take me with you! I promise I'll be obedient and won't hold you back!"
"I want to see for myself who that bastard is colluding with to harm me."
That voice was so sweet and soft that it gave Cheng Jiajia goosebumps.
However, she couldn't resist Yu Junsheng's persistence and soon gave in, reluctantly agreeing.
...
On a dark and windy night, a figure tiptoed out of a large courtyard and hurried into a small courtyard with single-story houses.
A voice quickly came from inside, "I've done as you said. When are you going to fulfill your promise?"
The other person scoffed, "You're going to do it? I don't care about the process, I only care about the result. And this isn't the result I wanted."
The young man's voice rang out angrily, "Then what do you want?"
The man said quietly, "Young man, don't be in such a hurry. If you want to get what you want, you always have to pay a price, right?"
"Here's what we'll do: you make one more move. As long as you bring down that Liao guy and kick that kid out, everything you want is negotiable."
The young male voice belonged to Sun Zhengye. He gritted his teeth and said, "Fine! I'll try again!"
He knew that Yu Junsheng was already wary of him, and it would be difficult to make a move now.
But since he was already on this pirate ship, if he didn't do as this man said, he probably wouldn't let him go.
Sun Zhengye had no choice but to agree.
Unbeknownst to those inside, their conversation had already reached the ears of the two people on the roof, their eyes blazing with fury.
Sun Zhengye walked home with a heavy heart, thinking about how to trick Yu Junsheng again without arousing suspicion.
Suddenly, a sack fell from the sky.
Sun Zhengye was plunged into darkness.
He thought of the female ghost in the public toilet in Xiaohuahua Hutong, and a chill ran down his spine.
He blustered but was actually quite cowardly, shouting, "Who?!"
Unfortunately, all he got in response was a hail of fists raining down on him.
Sun Zhengye screamed in pain.
"Help! Help! Murder!"
