Chapter 192 Scheme
"Comrade Cheng, I feel uneasy about taking Comrade Yuan Lin's job. We all know the benefits of working for a leader. If you work hard for a few years, you will definitely achieve something in the future. Do you know where he lives? I will take some things to visit him another day. Otherwise, I will feel really bad about it."
Song Lubai's performance successfully convinced Cheng Xiaolong.
In an office, Cheng Xiaolong thought that Song Lubai was indeed quite capable.
But he still had doubts in his heart. Compared to Yuan Lin, who had been with Vice Minister Lou for several years, shouldn't Vice Minister Lou have used Yuan Lin more conveniently?
In the past, Yuan Lin would always go to the drinking party with Vice Minister Lou, but now Vice Minister Lou is also bringing Song Lubai along.
If we were to say what Song Lubai's most outstanding feature is, it would be her face.
It's possible that Vice Minister Lou was bewitched by Song Lubai's face.
Such things do happen.
Cheng Xiaolong and Yuan Lin lived quite close to each other, so after finishing get off work, he went to Yuan Lin's house first.
Yuan Lin suffered a leg fracture and has been recuperating for a long time. His condition has improved a lot, but he still can't walk very well and needs crutches to move around.
Working alongside his superiors meant running errands almost every day, and Yuan Lin didn't want to go back to work before he was fully recovered. The doctor had said that he needed to exercise in moderation before he was fully recovered, otherwise, if he didn't recover well, he would have sequelae, and he didn't want to become a cripple.
Hearing that a new female secretary had joined his boss, he wasn't worried at all. After all, he had been with his boss for several years and had accomplished a lot. He didn't believe his boss would "abandon" him.
When he first took a break, his superiors even brought him some gifts. Yuan Lin was very confident and at ease recuperating at home, without feeling any sense of crisis at all.
After hearing Cheng Xiaolong's explanation, Yuan Lin asked incredulously, "You mean the leadership doesn't want me anymore? They're going to just assign me to another department?"
Cheng Xiaolong shook his head with a heavy expression. "I don't know. Comrade Song didn't say what would happen either. This is just my guess. She's going to drinking parties with the vice minister now. It's obvious that the vice minister values her highly."
"She even said she was sorry to you. If the leader hadn't been planning to send you away to another place at will, why would she feel sorry for you?"
Even with his great confidence, Yuan Lin began to waver at this moment.
For the past few years, he had been the secretary to the top leader of the Materials Supply Department, and no one knew better than him how desirable that position was.
He followed the leaders in and out of the division headquarters and met with leaders from various units. He had a much easier time solving problems in his life than others, and he was very prestigious when he went out.
Most importantly, if he works with the leader for a long time, he is very likely to be assigned to another department as a leader, or even become a manager in a subsidiary company. In any case, it's a good career path.
A sense of crisis arose instantly.
"Brother Cheng, thank you so much for today. I'll go back to work tomorrow and see what's going on with that Comrade Song."
…
The grain bureau was too far away, and by the time Song Lubai delivered the documents, it was already past closing time.
By the time I ran back to the cafeteria, there wasn't much food left.
She rushed to the restaurant and bought a pancake. She dissolved two White Rabbit milk candies in her teacup and ate the pancake with the sweet water.
If I get hungry in the middle of the night, I'll just pop a chocolate in my mouth.
The bittersweet taste slowly melted in my mouth, easing the hunger pangs in my stomach somewhat.
The grain bureau was too far away, so after washing up early in the morning, Song Lubai bought some steamed buns at the canteen and headed there.
It was still dark, and I felt a little scared walking down the street eating steamed buns.
As the darkest hour before dawn passed and the sky began to lighten, her tense heart relaxed.
As she walked down the alley, nearing its end, she heard some noises. She slowed her pace and cautiously peeked out from around the corner.
Then she saw a man in a green military uniform standing bent over and smoking by the wall in the alley to her right. Opposite him, three men were brutally beating someone up.
The person being beaten lay on the ground, completely helpless.
Seeing this, Song Lubai dared not utter a sound or move.
She let out a soft breath and peeked out again.
From her perspective, she could only see the person leaning against the wall, and then she realized that she had seen the person standing by the wall before.
Although the light was dim and she couldn't see clearly, she was certain that the other person was Yang Lizhen's husband, Wang Yang.
The person on the ground stopped moving. Wang Yang threw away his cigarette butt, walked up to the person, and stepped directly on their face.
"Chen Weiliang, who do you think you are? Yang Lizhen was willing to die for you and divorce me. Why should I, Wang Yang, suffer this humiliation? Don't you even know if you deserve it?"
Chen Weiliang's mouth was full of blood. He said with difficulty, "She wanted to divorce you. She abandoned me first. You've come to the wrong person!"
Wang Yang kicked him in the face, "I won't let her get away with this, and neither will you. Those two are making fun of me, do they think I'm easy to bully?"
"Remember this: if I see you meeting with her again, ha... you can forget about working at the grain bureau."
Wang Yang kicked Chen Weiliang in the head, causing Chen Weiliang to spit out a mouthful of blood before losing consciousness.
Behind the corner, Song Lubai pressed herself tightly against the wall, covering her mouth and afraid to move.
Yang Lizhen and Chen Weiliang?
No wonder she always felt that Yang Lizhen's attitude towards her was a bit strange.
Fearing that Chen Weiliang would be beaten to death, Song Lubai mustered her courage and ran to the nearest courtyard gate, banging on the door and deliberately making a loud noise.
She hoped that these lawless people would leave as soon as they heard the commotion.
Those who heard the commotion panicked.
Without further delay, Wang Yang spat at the lifeless Chen Weiliang on the ground. Remembering that Yang Lizhen kept calling Chen Weiliang's name even in her sleep, and that their family wouldn't allow them to divorce, he felt unsatisfied and kicked Chen Weiliang hard in the lower abdomen.
Despite being kicked hard in his vulnerable areas, Chen Weiliang, who had lost consciousness, showed no reaction.
Fearing that residents might come, Wang Yang, having vented his anger, quickly led his men away.
Only after confirming that everyone had left did Song Lubai dare to go out.
Checking his breath, Chen Weiliang's breathing was weak.
She didn't dare delay and continued knocking on the door.
If one shop doesn't respond, she moves on to the next.
Finally, someone came out and, seeing Chen Weiliang's condition, the residents quickly took him to the hospital.
Chen Weiliang's face was covered in blood, his hands were covered in blood, and his clothes were soaked in blood and turned dark.
In that dream, Chen Weiliang had bad luck; he hit the back of his head and died.
She thought reality was different from her dream, and that Chen Weiliang wouldn't die like that. But then he was brutally beaten in front of her and suffered even more serious injuries. She didn't know if he could survive.
After taking the person to the hospital, there was nothing more she could do. She hurried back to the grain bureau to watch the workers load the truck and check the weight.
When Song Lubai pushed open the door of the finance department with the invoice issued by the transportation department, she took a deep breath and forced a smile, saying, "Comrade Zhai, I'm here again. Vice Minister Lou asked me to bring the transportation department's invoice over so you can stamp it."
Upon hearing the words "Transportation Department," Zhai Xiling looked up and said, "Bring it here so I can take a look."
Song Lubai handed over the form, and Zhai Xiling's face darkened after reading it.
Song Lubai pretended to be clueless and whispered, "Comrade Zhai, do you think you can stamp it? If not, I'll go back and tell the leader."
Zhai Xiling looked at her silently.
He didn't know if she was genuinely ignorant or just pretending. Based on his impressions of her from their interactions over the past few days, he couldn't understand what Song Lubai's stance was.
Before Zhai Xiling could react, Song Lubai said, "Then you should go ask the section chief first. I have something to do here. I'll come back next time."
It definitely won't be her next time, hehe.
