494: I only like her
When Zhou Ziheng arrived at the second branch field headquarters, Bai Zongdan was also there.
Because the field headquarters only sends supplies to the logging company once every ten days or so, there are still three days before the next delivery.
Bai Zongdan had to wait three days and then go with the people delivering the supplies.
He is now placed in a temporary dormitory.
When Zhou Ziheng arrived there, Bai Zongdan was reading in the dormitory to pass the time. When he came, he specially brought a book with him.
When I arrived at the logging company, I couldn't draw or write, so I could only bring a book with me.
Maybe after work at night, I can hide in bed and read a book.
At this time, although the book was opened, no page was turned for a long time.
He couldn't read a single word.
I still haven't completely calmed down.
I was daydreaming when the dormitory door was pushed open.
Bai Zongdan quickly retracted his wandering gaze, focused his attention back on the book, and pretended to read seriously.
He thought it was the other people in the dormitory who came back.
However, the footsteps coming in were steady and powerful, which sounded unusual. Bai Zongdan didn't care and sat on the kang and continued to pretend to read.
The footsteps stopped at the kang.
Bai Zongdan felt a dull and powerful pressure, wrapped in a chill that made him shiver.
Only then did he look up.
When I looked up, I was shocked to find that the person standing in front of me was Zhou Ziheng!
Bai Zongdan was stunned.
He called out stupidly:
"Director Zhou?"
Why is the director here?
Bai Zongdan's heart sank. He quickly moved over, got off the kang, and hurriedly put on his shoes.
Bai Zongdan never expected that he had just arrived yesterday and the director came after him today?
Why did the director come here?
Are you going to settle the score with him?
I don’t understand, and I feel uneasy and have a feeling that it’s not a good thing.
Bai Zongdan stood in front of Zhou Ziheng. He was obviously half a head shorter than Zhou Ziheng. He looked up and asked:
"Director Zhou, why are you here?"
Zhou Ziheng asked, "Where is the paper I wrote to you?"
"exist--"
Bai Zongdan hurriedly searched his cotton-padded jacket pocket and took out the piece of paper Zhou Ziheng had written to him yesterday.
I still don’t understand why Zhou Ziheng wanted that piece of paper.
He handed the paper to Zhou Ziheng.
Zhou Ziheng tore it up without even looking at it.
Bai Zongdan became even more uneasy and watched in horror as the paper was torn to pieces.
It seemed that not only the paper was torn, but also himself.
Zhou Ziheng handed the torn paper to Bai Zongdan and said calmly:
"Go back. You don't have to go to the logging company anymore."
Bai Zongdan was even more surprised when he saw the shredded paper. He subconsciously asked:
"Not going? Why?"
"Let's go back to the agency."
“…”
Before Bai Zongdan could ask something else, Zhou Ziheng had already turned and left.
He was the only one left in the dormitory again, feeling completely confused. If the paper in his hand hadn't been torn to pieces, would he have really thought that what had just happened was just a dream?
The director actually came to the second branch in person to inform him to return to the Propaganda Department?
How is that possible?
Are you not going to deal with him anymore?
Director Zhou has always been a man of his word, and he will not easily change anything he says.
Why did he have to go back today when he was transferred to the second division yesterday?
Bai Zongdan found it incredible.
He didn't dare to believe it easily, so he didn't set off back immediately.
If he can confirm tomorrow that this is true, it won't be too late for him to find a way to go back.
However, in the evening, after the other people in the dormitory returned, Bai Zongdan heard something even more shocking:
Chief Zhou is actually going to the logging company!
Bai Zongdan's first reaction was:
what happens?
Why did this situation take such a sudden turn?
Bai Zongdan asked people why Chief Zhou suddenly wanted to go to the logging company.
Everyone else said they didn't know and they were also puzzled. Even Director Wang of the second division received a call at the last minute.
When I received the call, I thought it was a joke, but within a few hours, Director Zhou's car took the person there.
Everyone found it strange that in the middle of winter, he would leave his warm office and go to the most remote and difficult logging company to suffer.
Although the on-site leader has to set a good example, he doesn't have to go to the logging company specifically to set a good example, right?
Who would seek trouble?
The director's abnormal behavior made Bai Zongdan's anxiety and fear reach the extreme.
He hardly slept that night.
The next morning after breakfast, he went to inquire about Zhou Ziheng's whereabouts.
When Zhou Ziheng was found, he was standing on the frozen river, carrying his luggage and preparing to set off to the logging company.
Because of the arrival of Chief Zhou, the task of delivering supplies to the logging company was brought forward by two days, and a total of three large horse-drawn sleighs were sent there.
There were several large sacks on the sled, which contained rations for the logging team, as well as miscellaneous items such as letters and daily necessities, and Zhou Ziheng's luggage.
Bai Zongdan quickly ran to Zhou Ziheng, not caring about anything else at this moment. He asked anxiously:
"Captain, why are you going to the logging company? Didn't you ask me to go?"
Zhou Ziheng put on gloves and looked at Bai Zongdan's frightened face:
"You don't need to go, go back to the Propaganda Department."
"Why?"
Zhou Ziheng did not like being asked why he did things, but he still answered Bai Zongdan's question:
"Because this is what Ono wanted."
There was a hint of helplessness and sadness in his voice.
After saying that, he turned and left.
Bai Zongdan was stunned for a moment, then quickly chased after him:
"Captain, let me go! I made a mistake and I deserve to be punished!"
"Go back." Zhou Ziheng said in a tone that showed he didn't want to talk to him anymore.
"Captain!" Bai Zongdan mustered up his courage and grabbed Zhou Ziheng's arm. "Captain, I don't know what Yu Xiaoye said to you, but you shouldn't go to the logging company. I'm the one who should go there!"
Zhou Ziheng was pulled to a stop by Bai Zongdan. He turned his head to look at Bai Zongdan, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes:
“Bai Zongdan, do you really like Xiaoye?”
Bai Zongdan was caught off guard by this question. He did not dare to hesitate and quickly answered:
"I used to like her a little, but that's no longer the case. Director, I will never have any illusions about Yu Xiaoye again, really!"
"Maybe you like her very much, but you definitely don't like her as much as I do. You are still young and may not know what you want. Maybe you like her today and you may like many others in the future, but to me, she is the only one, so you can't compete with me, no one can compete with me, and I won't let anyone win over me."
Zhou Ziheng's voice was calm but powerful, with a sincerity that Bai Zongdan had never seen before.
Bai Zongdan was completely stunned.
Zhou Ziheng gently pushed Bai Zongdan's hand away, pulled up the cotton mask to cover his face, adjusted his heavy mink hat, wrapped his coat tightly, got on the prepared horse-drawn sleigh, and sat on it.
"Director Zhou, take care on your journey!" The onlookers said goodbye to Zhou Ziheng.
Seeing that the team was ready, the sleigh driver gave an order, cracked the whip, and six horses pulled three sleighs towards the snowfield.
