Chapter 109 Too Exaggerated
Zhou Xian did not dare to neglect this matter. After Yan Qiyuan left, he immediately told Secretary He and others.
When President Hu heard what Zhou Xian said, his eyes widened immediately. "What? There are spies in our place, Xiao Zhou, are you mistaken?"
He knew that there were spies in the country, and those people were always ready to cause sabotage. But what kind of spies could there be in their commune? Why would they stay in their small county town instead of going to places like Beijing or Haishi?
Besides, a pickle factory wouldn't be of so much concern to the spies.
President Hu’s first reaction was that Zhou Xian had made a mistake.
Originally, it was unbelievable that Yan Qiyuan knew Morse code, but after hearing about the identities of his family elders, President Hu no longer had any doubts. With such a family, it was impossible for a child to have any problems.
However, just because Yan Qiyuan's identity is fine doesn't mean he won't make mistakes.
"In fact, Yan Zhiqing is not wrong. There are indeed spies in our county." Secretary He was silent for a long time and then spoke.
Now the office became completely quiet.
Even Director Ji spoke up, "When I went back earlier, I also heard from my sister that it was indeed a spy. We caught one, but the other clues were cut off. We don't know if the other spies lurking in our county have retreated. There is no news now."
"Is there really a spy?" President Hu was so shocked that his voice broke. He was afraid that others would hear him, so he quickly covered his mouth and lowered his voice, "Is there really something wrong with Guo Jinxing? We can't keep him in the commune anymore. Such a person is a disaster. If he does anything in the pickle factory, all our hard work will be ruined."
President Hu has a point.
But Secretary He had other concerns. "No, I suspect that the previous group of spies never left our county. They just hid themselves. Now that we have found clues, we should catch them all in one fell swoop."
When the county learned about the clues about the spies, they didn't dare to make it public in order to avoid bringing out the trouble. But one comrade was accidentally exposed while on a mission, and they only caught one person, while the others escaped.
After that, they acted quickly and followed all the clues they had, but all came to nothing.
That comrade was checked over and over again, and only after it was confirmed that he was really careless at the time was he released, but he was also punished by his superiors.
"Last year, the leader said he would come to our commune to take a look, but later he said he would not come because of this matter. When I went to the county to make a report at the end of the year, the leader revealed a few words to me, and then I learned about it."
The people in the county did not know about the spies being arrested because they were afraid that if they made it known, it would cause panic.
Some spies have been lurking in the country for a long time and have long since integrated with the local people. Unless they voluntarily expose themselves, they may not be discovered.
"Now that there is new news, we can't let him get away again." Director Ji said.
If he escapes once, we must never let him escape a second time.
"We can't do this alone. Director Ji, go and inform the leaders under the pretext of going to the county town for a meeting. We definitely can't follow Guo Jinxing to the county town. We can leave the county's affairs to him."
"become."
The county women's federation holds a meeting every month to discuss documents issued by the higher authorities, which also gives them the opportunity to contact the county.
Chairman Ji already knew about this matter, and she passed it on to the county leaders to avoid causing unnecessary suspicion.
Secretary He’s leg injury has not yet fully healed, so he did not make a special trip to the county town.
After careful discussion, several people decided not to tell anyone else for the time being.
"Guo Jinxing wants to join our pickle factory so much, he might be up to something bad. We have to keep a close eye on him and don't let him steal our pickle recipe," said President Hu.
"The pickle recipe is not a big deal. Even if it is stolen, without Shengyi's craftsmanship, he won't be able to make the taste of our pickles. In my opinion, we should protect Shengyi during this period of time and don't let Guo Jinxing do anything to her." Director Ji analyzed.
Secretary He also felt that this person might be the one. The taste of their pickles was almost entirely controlled by Yang Shengyi, and it was impossible for others to completely replicate the taste of the pickles she made. He was afraid that Guo Jinxing would become desperate and attack Yang Shengyi.
Seeing that everyone was using their imaginations to think about what Guo Jinxing wanted to do by entering the pickle factory, Zhou Xian simply expressed his own guess.
"Then will he poison our pickles? When the pickles are shipped all over the country, it will be a big event if someone is poisoned to death."
This was something Zhou Xian had seen on TV before, where spies poisoned people in the water source. It is also possible that Guo Jinxing would do this and poison their pickles.
Everyone fell silent immediately. They felt that what Zhou Xian said was very likely.
"No, we must not let him succeed." When Secretary He thought of that possibility, he felt his leg, which was almost healed, start to ache again.
If Guo Jinxing succeeds, things will get really bad.
But if he is not allowed to enter the pickle factory now, he will definitely become suspicious.
"Then what should we do? Can't we just not let anyone come and say we're not hiring for the time being?" President Hu became anxious.
"That definitely won't work. If we suddenly stop him from coming, he will think of other ways. It's better to keep him under our noses and feel at ease." Zhou Xian said.
"Besides, it was Yan Zhiqing who told us about this, and Yan Zhiqing will definitely keep an eye on him when the time comes."
"That's right. We need to find someone to keep an eye on him and ensure Yan Zhiqing's safety," said Secretary He.
President Hu thought for a moment and then said, "Speaking of which, Guo Jinxing took our planting recipe before. The county police said there was no problem. Did he spread the recipe?"
"Not necessarily. They have been exposed before, so they may not dare to make any big moves," Director Ji analyzed.
Zhou Xian added, "There must be something wrong with his uncle. His wife died so many years ago, and he never remarried. He also raised his nephew as his own son. With such a good reputation, no one would suspect him. Moreover, Guo Jinxing is too young, with no one to teach him, and his age does not match the spies left behind."
It is normal for someone of Guo Jinxing's age to be influenced by what he sees and hears.
"Guo Jinxing's uncle works in the machinery factory, right?" Director Ji couldn't help but ask.
"Will he not steal the secrets of our county's machinery factory?"
"Not really. What kind of secrets could a county machinery factory have? The provincial capital has plenty." Secretary He said.
It’s not that he looks down on the county machinery factory, but the county itself is responsible for taking orders from the provincial capital.
Even if it is a sister unit, they will not give the core information to the county, and no confidential information can be stolen. Secretary He is relieved on this point.
And we have to admit that many things abroad are indeed more advanced than those in our country. What spies can do is not just steal secrets, but they are more likely to destroy their development and prevent their country from becoming strong enough to compete with foreign countries.
Zhou Xian also agreed with Secretary He's opinion, but she knew that the country's backwardness was only temporary. In her era, the country had already become strong.
After discussing for a while, Secretary He finally made the decision, "Okay, let's stop making random guesses here and keep a close eye on the person. Director Ji, when you go to the county, you must explain the matter clearly to the leaders, and catch all the spies lurking in the county as soon as possible, so that we can also get rid of this Guo Jinxing, it's worrying to keep him. Xiao Zhou, tell Yan Zhiqing as well, he lives with Guo Jinxing, so he should pay more attention to his own safety."
When Director Ji went to the county town, the document appointing Zhou Xian as vice president also came down from the county town.
Secretary He handed the pickle factory over to her. He firmly believed that Zhou Xian was a righteous person and no matter what bad intentions people had, they would not be able to escape her.
Zhou Xian: “…” It’s exaggerated, really too exaggerated.
She was really embarrassed by the praise.
However, this matter is of great importance, and she cannot take it lightly.
Yan Zhiqing also explained the situation. Although there was not much communication, fortunately, influenced by his mother, Yan Zhiqing knew the seriousness of the matter and was willing to cooperate with the commune to supervise Guo Jinxing.
Moreover, it is more convenient for them to live together in the educated youth center.
Zhou Xian looked at Yan Zhiqing's analysis and couldn't help asking, "I don't think I've heard much about your father?"
Yan Qiyuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "My father is a geologist and is often away from home. However, when he sees a good-looking stone and makes sure it is fine, he will send it back to me. Influenced by him, when I go to a new place, I will observe the surrounding terrain and like to pick up some special stones."
Only then did Zhou Xian understand why Yan Qiyuan fell from the mountain that day.
There seemed to be a stone in the snack he gave me. This naturally formed thing must be something he treasures very much.
"Don't go hiking alone in the future. It's too dangerous. Fortunately, there is a pool of water below. Otherwise, even if I saw it, I couldn't help you."
"Okay, I understand." Yan Qiyuan smiled a little embarrassedly.
When he returned to the educated youth point, another male educated youth who had gone to the countryside with him immediately came over and asked him what he had talked about with Zhou Xian. Both of them were still laughing.
Even Guo Jinxing came over and said, "He's now a formal cadre, and he's still so young. I think you should seize this opportunity."
Others followed suit, but Yan Qiyuan suddenly turned cold and said, "Don't say that. It will have a bad influence on everyone if it gets out."
Seeing his appearance, the others just looked at each other but didn't take it seriously. But seeing that Yan Qiyuan was a little angry, he stopped talking.
Yan Qiyuan also knew what these people were thinking. He was very sensitive to people's emotions and knew that they were just dealing with him verbally, but what they were actually thinking was completely different.
But he didn't want to explain too much, so he packed his things, washed up and prepared to go to bed.
