Chapter 289 You're So Lucky
No one spoke in the office, but Chen Weiguo, standing by the door, became angry.
"Are you all protecting your own people?! You're making me take the blame all by myself!"
"You wish! I've been fooled by him! I may be young, but I know what he's up to. He wants me to ruin the commander's reputation! I've been fooled by him!"
Everyone watched him in silence.
If you call him stupid, he can gather more than a hundred people to do great things for him, and he can also defend himself with a clear mind.
He's so smart that he thinks everyone else is a fool.
Was he deceived? Wasn't he just taking the risk of doing this big job for a better job?
Secretary Feng remained silent. Wei Yang feigned hesitation and asked, "Secretary, do you think we should confront each other or not?"
Secretary Feng said righteously, "What happened today is no small matter. If someone else follows suit next time, won't things get chaotic? This must be dealt with seriously."
That's exactly what he was waiting for. Wei Yang looked at Secretary Huang and said, "Have a few comrades from the Armed Forces Department take Chen Weiguo to the health center for identification."
"Chen Weiguo, to prevent you from making unfounded accusations, describe the person's physical characteristics in public now."
Chen Weiguo immediately said, "He is of medium height, just a little taller than me. He has a mole on his chin, a particularly long hair on his eyebrow, and a square face."
Almost everyone in the office had seen Li Changgui, and they all knew that he had a long hair in his eyebrow.
It is said that long hairs on the eyebrows represent longevity, and people with long hairs in their eyebrows usually don't pluck them, and Li Changgui is no exception.
Everyone knew what was going on. Secretary Feng, sitting at the head of the table, sighed, "I never expected this..."
Wei Yang looked at Secretary Feng and said, "Comrade Li is usually very kind to me. I didn't expect that he was not satisfied with me. I don't know what I did wrong or even offended him."
Secretary Feng shook his head, "This isn't your fault. You can know a person's face but not their heart..."
Wei Yang changed the subject, saying seriously, "Even if he's dissatisfied with me, he shouldn't have done something so egregious..."
After delivering a long and high-sounding speech, he said, "Now let's discuss how to define the nature of the enclosed courtyard wall."
Wu Jiandong, who had been relatively quiet until now, said, "If enclosing a courtyard is considered illegal occupation, then I suggest demolishing all the courtyards so that there will be no dispute."
Secretary Feng said, "Wouldn't that mean we're regressing the more we build? Li Changgui is just messing around. Isn't the point of our construction to make the company better and better, to improve everyone's living and eating conditions?"
Someone chimed in, "Compared to not having walls, walls make the farm look more lively and give the impression that our farm is real."
…
Old Li was moved to tears upon hearing this.
Practice makes perfect, and having already broken through her psychological limits, Zhao Hongying boldly clapped and said, "Good! You are the truly good leaders who care about us ordinary people!"
Everyone glanced at the unusually excited woman, and while they got goosebumps, a strange sense of pride also rose in their hearts.
Wei Yang said, "We still can't just build walls around the courtyard. We can't let things get any bigger than we want. If he builds a big wall and I build a small one, it won't look right."
Secretary Feng said, "In that case, according to the division of each row, we need to determine how long and wide the enclosure should be. The population may increase in the future, so we need to make room for that..."
…
At the health center, Chen Weiguo was led to Li Changgui, who was faking illness in the ward.
Li Changgui never expected them to find this place.
Upon seeing him, Chen Weiguo became extremely agitated, exclaiming, "It was him! He's the one who made me do it! He's the mastermind! I was just following his orders..."
When Li Changgui heard his remarks, he wanted to slap him to death.
What kind of idiot would let someone pin that kind of crime on him? Does he think that by throwing the blame at him, he can clear his name?
You idiot, you idiot!
If he is convicted, Chen Weiguo will not be able to escape either.
Li Changgui was dragged by the arm out of the ward by the agitated Chen Weiguo. Li Changgui cursed, "Who are you? I don't know you at all!"
Seeing that he dared to deny it, Chen Weiguo spat and said, "Don't play dumb with me, you can't escape!"
The two argued and fought all the way. When Li Changgui was dragged out of the office by Chen Weiguo, his hair was a mess, his collar button was off, his pants were covered in dirt, his mouth was crooked, and his nose was swollen.
Chen Weiguo didn't look much better.
"Distinguished leaders, it is him! I saw him twice yesterday, once by the Shahe River and once in front of the post office. Li Liusheng and the others also saw him. I have witnesses."
Li Changgui looked at his former colleagues with a panicked heart, his voice, once righteous and composed, now uttered in protest.
…
A dozen minutes later, Lao Li and Zhao Hongying left the office; they had no say in what happened next.
Zhao Hong, full of vigor and high spirits, looked at the little white poplar under the blue sky, white clouds, and bright sun with a smile and said, "Old Li, I haven't lived my life in vain."
Old Li said, "I haven't lived in vain."
He did his part in helping everyone build the courtyard wall, and everyone should remember his kindness in the future.
Old Li went to work at the repair shop, while Zhao Hongying limped off to the supply and marketing cooperative.
At this time, Song Lubai and Liu Fang were organizing people to pick vegetables in another area.
Unable to find anyone at the supply and marketing cooperative, Zhao Hongying made her way to the vegetable field.
"Commander, Comrade Xiao Song."
Remembering what Song Lubai had said, Zhao Hongying swallowed back the words "regimental commander's wife".
"Comrade Zhao, is it over? What did they say at the meeting?"
Zhao Hongying gestured animatedly, emphasizing her heroic performance that day.
Song Lubai praised, "I knew long ago that Comrade Zhao was a capable person."
Zhao Hongying couldn't stop smiling.
"Thinking back to your wedding day, there was a table full of male leaders sitting next to me. I was so scared that I didn't dare to say a word. Now that I think about it, I want to slap myself twice."
When the people in the neighborhood heard that they could start building the courtyard wall, they all gathered around, wanting to know more details.
Zhao Hongying, chin raised, said, "The regimental commander and the secretary both said that the wall can be built, but not haphazardly. It needs to be kept tidy. If the number of people in the regiment increases in the future, it will have to be torn down..."
Having heard most of the key information, Song Lubai said to the group of women, "Hurry up, it'll get hot soon, and we'll have to work under the scorching sun."
Song Lubai bent down to pick chili peppers, and Zhao Hongying leaned in and whispered, "Little Song, hello, Commander!"
She really wanted to say that Commander Wei was too handsome!
But for a married woman to praise another woman's husband in front of a female comrade, it just feels like she has ulterior motives and makes her seem very improper.
The key is that the commander of the guard regiment is not only handsome.
He sat there in his military uniform and hat, looking serious and dignified, exuding an air of authority that commanded respect even without anger.
Zhao Hongying clutched her chest and said, "Xiao Song, you're so lucky."
Song Lubai sensed the sour undertone in his words.
She turned her head to look at Comrade Zhao Hongying and felt that something was wrong with her.
