Cheng Jinche walked out of the crowd and stood in front of the leader. He first glanced at Zhou Yunwan next to him, then said to the leader: "I remembered that I left something halfway, so I came back to get it. I saw so many people gathered here, so I came to take a look."
The team leader smiled awkwardly: "I'm sorry to make you laugh."
Cheng Jinche smiled faintly and said nothing.
With his appearance, the group leader paused his thoughts on ideological education and turned to the deputy group leader to quickly explain a few words in a low voice: "All of them will be punished. In addition, each of them will write a self-criticism and post it outside."
Where there are many women, there are many gossips. If this gossiping style is not punished properly, the future art troupe will probably be filled with spit.
"Reflect on yourself!"
After saying the last sentence, the troupe leader invited Cheng Jinche to his office for a cup of tea. He said he wanted to have tea because he didn't want to "air the family's dirty laundry in public." After all, this was an internal matter of their art troupe, and if it got out, it would be bad for their reputation.
Cheng Jinche naturally understood this logic. When he looked back before leaving, he heard the deputy team leader calling the name of the girl who had accidentally bumped into him outside.
Zhou Yunwan.
...
...
I don’t know which words they are.
After the leader and Cheng Jinche left, many people immediately started discussing quietly. Someone asked the people around him: "Who is that man? Why is the leader so respectful to him?"
"You don't even know him? He is Cheng Jinche, a hot new director in China. He directed the really good movie that was released a while ago. He is young and promising, so amazing!"
The man spoke excitedly, but seeing that his companion was still confused, he sighed and continued, "Even if you don't know him, you at least know the Cheng family, right? Cheng Jinche's father is the director of the Beijing Film Studio!"
"Also, the play our troupe is preparing is based on the novel written by his uncle!"
Upon hearing that the Cheng family was so powerful, that person couldn't help but blurt out a few Chinese quintessence words: "Wow, so powerful?"
"That's not true. Director Cheng came to give guidance when the play was just being prepared. He came a few more times afterwards, but he was relatively low-key each time he came. He didn't cause much of a stir. Only the people in our drama troupe knew about it."
“Ahem!”
With a deliberate cough from Deputy Head He, the discussions disappeared instantly.
After Deputy Director He asked all the unimportant people to leave to rehearse the program, he left the few people who had just argued alone and conducted ideological education for nearly an hour.
After hearing the results of their punishment, those girls panicked and wanted to beg for mercy. Writing a self-criticism was not a big deal, it was just embarrassing at most, but being recorded as a demerit was a very serious punishment in the army.
Once they are punished, they will be labeled as having bad character and moral problems in the eyes of others! It will also have a great impact on their future promotions and assessments...
Zhou Yunwan frowned when she heard this. She didn't expect the punishment to be so severe. But then she thought, this is an art troupe serving the army and has its own strict organizational discipline.
It would be fine if they were just discussing themselves, but they just implied the leaders above them, talking about sensitive topics such as backdoors and unfairness. If they are not unlucky, who will be unlucky? It can only be said that they deserve it.
only……
Zhou Yunwan thought of something and said to Deputy Headmaster He, "Deputy Headmaster, I think we can find out who spread this rumor. If we trace the source, we will definitely find out who is deliberately destroying the peace in our group."
This era emphasizes unity in dealing with external affairs, and emphasizes that collective interests are greater than individual interests. Everyone in the art troupe prospers and suffers together. People who maliciously spread "scandals" within the troupe will be dealt with seriously.
As she spoke, Zhou Yunwan repeated her previous guess, but she did not name anyone and said that she thought it was Zhao Wanwan and Liang Shuqin who did it. She was not the kind of person who would casually put accusations on others. A guess was just a guess, and a careful check would tell whether the guess was correct.
Deputy Director He looked at her and felt a little guilty. After all, it was she who invited her here, but she made her suffer such a great injustice. However, she didn't care and was even willing to consider for the art troupe. What a good child.
Deputy Head He made a promise: "Okay, I will investigate this matter thoroughly."
After getting the guarantee, Zhou Yunwan said nothing more and left after staying for a while.
Deputy Head He called people to his office one by one and asked them from whom they heard the rumor. Among the names recorded, Liang Shuqin's name was the most frequently mentioned.
The results of the investigation came out quickly. When Zhou Yunwan was called to the office, as expected, she saw Zhao Wanwan and Liang Shuqin inside. Both of them looked unhappy, especially the latter, whose lips were pale.
Zhao Wanwan was pleading for Liang Shuqin: "Qinqin knows she is wrong, Captain, please let her go."
Deputy Head He looked at Zhou Yunwan who had walked in and explained, "Liang Shuqin chose to spread rumors because she was angry because of a personal grudge she had with you."
Zhou Yunwan was not surprised to hear this and nodded to show that she understood.
Liang Shuqin bit her lower lip hard, tears falling down her cheeks. She bowed to Zhou Yunwan and apologized, "I'm sorry, Zhou Yunwan. I was wrong. I will never do this again. Please ask the deputy head of the group for mercy. I don't want to be expelled. Please."
Dismissal?
Zhou Yunwan was stunned and subconsciously looked at Deputy Head He who was sitting at the desk. From her serious expression, it seemed that what Liang Shuqin said was true.
"Zhou Yunwan, please, if I get fired, no one will want me, and my mom will definitely beat me to death..."
Zhao Wanwan also helped to speak up: "Yes, Zhou Yunwan, Qinqin has already realized her mistake, you can help her plead for mercy."
Zhou Yunwan suddenly frowned, opened her mouth, and softened her heart: "Deputy Captain, is there no room for negotiation on this matter?"
Deputy Head He asked in surprise, "You want to plead for her?"
"Yes, after all, she and I are from the same compound, so we are neighbors..." Zhou Yunwan tried hard to find an excuse, but finally couldn't make it up anymore, so she said, "I think the punishment of expulsion is too severe. I believe she has realized her mistake."
Liang Shuqin said hurriedly: "Yes, deputy commander, I have already known my mistake. As long as you let me stay in the group, I will do anything for you."
Deputy Director He pondered for a moment, then sighed and said, "In that case, I will punish you by making you clean the stage for three months and running ten laps in the playground every morning as a warning to others."
"Of course, punishment and self-examination are inevitable."
After hearing this, Liang Shuqin burst into tears of joy and bowed three times in a row: "Thank you, Deputy Head, thank you, Deputy Head."
"Qinqin, it's okay, I will always be with you."
Zhao Wanwan helped Liang Shuqin, who was crying so hard that her legs were weak, out of the office. She couldn't calm down for a long time. Fortunately, Liang Shuqin was very easy to coax and did not confess that it was her idea, otherwise she would have been the one who almost got fired.
Zhao Wanwan glanced at Liang Shuqin, whose face was as red as a pig's head due to crying, and her eyes twitched for a moment. Then she looked away with some disgust, but she bumped into Zhou Yunwan, who had stopped in front of her and was looking at her with her arms folded.
Zhao Wanwan couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart, but fortunately the other party didn't say anything. He just glanced at them and left.
