485: The harsh conditions of the logging company
The male and female educated youth from the propaganda team followed Xiaobai reluctantly.
No one expected this accident to happen suddenly.
So unexpected, so sudden!
Everything was fine this morning, but who would have thought that Xiaobai was sent to the logging company at noon.
Section Chief Wei was so angry that his heart ached.
He suppressed his sadness and said to Xiaobai:
"Xiaobai, go to the second division first. I'll think of a solution for you here. I can't let you stay there forever."
Bai Zongdan didn't want to come back.
He was already disheartened and could not find any reason to stay.
He actually wrote a love letter to Director Zhou's girlfriend—
Thinking about it now, even he finds it ridiculous!
He no longer has any illusions about Yu Xiaoye. Director Zhou is right, Yu Xiaoye is not someone he can covet.
He wanted to go to the logging company to bury his delusion and his aborted love.
Bai Zongdan walked out of the auditorium with his luggage on his back.
Chai Jixian rode a bicycle and took Xiaobai to the yard, where they waited in the yard's convoy for the bus to the second division.
That logging company was a newly established company in the second division. It was located in the deep mountains and forests, almost isolated from the outside world, and the conditions were extremely harsh.
It is said that they live in tents and drink snow water in the winter.
There are still many ferocious beasts in the mountains and forests, and there have been incidents of blind bears injuring people.
There were also wild wolves that rushed into the camp, and more than one battle between humans and wolves occurred.
Because the life there was harsh and dangerous, it almost became the Ningguta of Mishan Farm. Those who made mistakes, had bad backgrounds, and were difficult to manage troublemakers were all sent there.
Normally, supplies such as rice, flour, grain, oil, and letters are delivered to the mountains only once every ten days or half a month.
Once you get to that place, you are almost isolated from the world.
Not to mention whether Xiaobai can adapt to the hard life and heavy physical labor there after he arrives there, even those troublemakers will be enough for Xiaobai to deal with.
Arriving at the yard, Chai Jixian looked at Bai Zongdan, who was not in good health, with concern and comforted him:
"Xiaobai, don't worry, Section Chief Wei will definitely find a way to get you back. The Propaganda Department can't do without you."
"Tell Section Chief Wei not to bother worrying about me anymore. I'm the one causing trouble for everyone."
Chai Jixian and Bai Zongdan waited here for more than an hour, but no car came.
Because the second division site is located in a remote area, close to the mountains and the roads are difficult to travel, cars are even more afraid to drive after the roads are blocked by heavy snow, and there may not be many cars passing through in a day.
Finally they found out that the postman was going to deliver mail to the second branch, but he was driving a horse-drawn sleigh. So they found the postman and asked for help.
The postman agreed to take Bai Zongdan to the second branch.
Bai Zongdan carried his luggage and got on the postman's horse-drawn sleigh.
The sled went up the frozen river and headed towards the second division field in the cold wind.
-----
When Yu Xiaoye learned about Bai Zongdan's punishment, Bai Zongdan had already left the agency compound.
Yu Xiaoye did not expect the matter to be handled so quickly, nor did he expect Bai Zongdan to leave so hastily.
What she didn't expect was that Zhou Ziheng actually sent Bai Zongdan to the newly established logging company!
She knew the logging company.
Previously, several militiamen from the Wufenchang militia were sent to the logging company because they were implicated in the Zhang Guangtian case.
However, what heinous crime did Xiaobai commit? He only wrote a seemingly plausible "love letter" and drew a portrait.
As for being sent to that kind of place?!
Yu Xiaoye felt chilled and shocked.
She underestimated Zhou Ziheng's cruelty.
This bastard is capable of anything.
After Yu Xiaoye learned the outcome of the matter, he did not immediately go to find Zhou Ziheng.
She knew that she was angry, and if she went to find Zhou Ziheng at this time, they might get into an argument.
That would not only not help, but would even make Xiaobai's situation worse.
She didn't want to add fuel to the fire.
So I waited for several hours, and only when I felt I had almost calmed down did I go to Zhou Ziheng's office.
Zhou Ziheng seemed to be waiting for her arrival. As soon as he saw her come in, he called Secretary Jiang:
"Secretary Jiang—"
Secretary Jiang stood up with great discernment:
"I'm going to deliver a document."
Seeing this scene, Xiao Gu in the office also stood up consciously:
"I'll go to the water room and get a kettle of hot water."
The two men, one holding documents and the other holding a thermos, hurried out of the office and closed the door tightly.
Only Zhou Ziheng and Yu Xiaoye were left in the room.
Yu Xiaoye met Zhou Ziheng's gaze and slowly walked to the desk.
She wanted to talk to Zhou Ziheng calmly, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she was still full of resentment:
"Do you really need to?"
Zhou Ziheng moved his lips and looked away:
"Xiao Ye, let's not argue about this. I know you are a loyal person. You think I went too far, but I have my perspective and position."
“What’s your perspective and stance?”
Zhou Ziheng didn't want to say.
He didn't want to say anything, not because he felt he was in the wrong, but because he knew that even if he was right, as long as he opened his mouth to argue, even if he won in theory, in reality, the more complete the theoretical victory, the more he would lose emotionally.
So he would rather not explain, would rather let Yu Xiaoye be angry with him, would rather bear the stigma of being cold-blooded and ruthless than hurt his relationship with Yu Xiaoye.
"Tell me, what is your perspective and position?"
Zhou Ziheng did not respond directly. He stood up and raised his hands to touch Yu Xiaoye.
Yu Xiaoye pushed it away:
"Don't touch me!"
"Don't be angry, okay?"
Yu Xiaoye looked up at Zhou Ziheng's eyes and asked:
"I asked you a question, why didn't you answer me? Why did you transfer Xiaobai to the logging company?
What unforgivable sin had he committed that he wrote a broken letter and painted a picture of destruction? Who did he hurt?
Have I hurt you? Have I cheated on you?
Did he deliberately interfere in our relationship even though he knew about it?
No!
He clearly had the opportunity to give me the letter and the painting last night, but he didn't. After he knew I had a boyfriend, he didn't do anything. He has already come to this, why can't you forgive him?
Even if he was wrong in writing the love letter, I would never say a word if you transferred him to another place to punish him.
But why the logging company?
He is engaged in cultural work. You let a person engaged in cultural work go to the deep mountains and forests to cut trees. Don’t you know the situation of the logging company?
There are many people in the whole farm who can cut trees, but how many of them can write articles and draw?
Why can't you tolerate him and have to punish him in such a cruel way?"
Zhou Ziheng said tiredly:
"Ono, calm down."
Yu Xiaoye couldn't remain calm when he saw Zhou Ziheng's indifferent look.
If she really calmed down and kept silent, wouldn't she become a soft persimmon that could be bullied by anyone?
If this happened to someone else, she couldn't care less and didn't want to care less.
But the matter concerns her. If she lets it go and lets Xiaobai suffer in the deep mountains and forests covered with ice and snow, she will not be able to feel at peace!
I will never be able to face Zhou Ziheng again.
Not only does she want to seek justice for Xiaobai, she also wants to see where Zhou Ziheng's bottom line is.
What kind of person is Zhou Ziheng?
All along, she has been blinded by the beauty of love and has not seriously understood Zhou Ziheng's character.
I always thought Zhou Ziheng was mature, steady, considerate, and a reliable man.
However, everything has two sides.
The other side of maturity and stability is probably deep scheming and ruthless means.
