495: Involving the Director’s Personal Emotional Issues
Bai Zongdan stood there, watching the three sleds moving farther and farther away without blinking, until they turned into a black dot and completely disappeared in the snow and ice.
Zhou Ziheng’s words kept echoing in my mind: She is the only one.
Yu Xiaoye is the only one for Director Zhou.
Bai Zongdan finally understood where he lost.
He really had a vague and beautiful liking for Yu Xiaoye, but Director Zhou regarded her as "the only one".
He lost because of this "only" thing.
Compared with Director Zhou's feelings for Yu Xiaoye, his love is pale, fragile and not worth mentioning.
This was the first time that Zhou Ziheng revealed his true feelings in front of Bai Zongdan, but it made Bai Zongdan respect Zhou Ziheng even more.
That afternoon, Bai Zongdan returned to the office compound from the second division.
Bai Zongdan didn't expect that he could come back.
He thought that it would be difficult for him to come back once he left.
He still didn't know why all this happened, and he wanted to go back to the compound to find out what had happened.
When he appeared in the auditorium with his bag on his back, the propaganda team members were shocked to see him:
"Xiaobai is back! Xiaobai is back!"
At once, everyone in the office and upstairs ran out.
Section Chief Wei, who had been hit hard these days, rushed out of the office when he heard Xiaobai was back, thinking someone was playing a prank.
But when he saw Bai Zongdan standing in the auditorium, Section Chief Wei was overjoyed:
"Xiaobai, you're finally back!"
Bai Zongdan came to Section Chief Wei's office surrounded by people.
Section Chief Wei asked him why he came back?
Bai Zongdan said blankly:
"It was the director who asked me to come back—what happened? Why did the director suddenly ask me to come back?"
After listening to Bai Zongdan's words and combining them with what had happened in the past two days, everyone roughly guessed something.
They told Bai Zongdan:
"After you left, Yu Xiaoye ran to the director's office and had an argument with him."
Bai Zongdan widened his eyes:
"Yu Xiaoye went to quarrel with the director?"
"Yes, the whole office building heard it. It was a very fierce quarrel. The day after the quarrel, which was yesterday, the director suddenly decided to go to the logging company of the second division. But unexpectedly, he actually called you back."
Bai Zongdan didn't expect that the reason he was able to come back was because Yu Xiaoye went to quarrel with the director.
After knowing the truth, Bai Zongdan felt even more uneasy.
Instead of this, he would rather join the logging company!
"Where is Yu Xiaoye?" Bai Zongdan asked.
"She?" Section Chief Wei rubbed his brow and said with a distressed look on his face, "She left after arguing with the director."
Guo Fang added:
"I haven't even returned to the dormitory."
Bai Zongdan felt extremely uneasy. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly turned around and started to leave:
"I'd better go back to the logging company."
“Hey!”
Everyone stopped Bai Zongdan together:
"You're so stupid! I've already transferred you back, why are you still joining in the fun?"
"That's right, since the director asked you to come back, then you should come back. He will definitely be unhappy if you go against his wishes like this, so why bother!"
Bai Zongdan didn't know whether to leave or not, and he felt extremely uneasy.
But everyone else was happy to see Bai Zongdan back.
Section Chief Wei said:
"Xiaobai, just stay here and relax. I suspect that when Chief Zhou first dealt with you, he didn't intend to keep you in the logging company forever. He probably wanted you to come back early from the beginning, but—"
Section Chief Wei changed the subject and wanted to say something, but didn't know how to say it directly.
Everyone else knew what Section Chief Wei wanted to ask.
Because of this problem, they also want to know.
Chai Jixian asked helpfully:
"Xiaobai, tell me, why did Yu Xiaoye want to argue with the director? We know she was trying to help you, but how dare she argue with the director? Didn't you see how angry she was? She had just finished arguing with the director, and on the way out, she beat Lin Darong up black and blue."
At this point, the office couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Although I knew I shouldn't laugh, I still found it unbelievable when I thought about the scene where the petite Yu Xiaoye pinned the tall and strong Lin Darong to the ground and beat him up.
Bai Zongdan couldn't laugh at all. He really didn't expect that for him, Yu Xiaoye not only went to quarrel with the director, but also beat Lin Darong.
This girl is so surprising!
A girl like this was definitely not something he could dream of.
Seeing that Bai Zongdan was still in a daze, Chai Jixian asked:
"Xiaobai, do you know something? What's going on between Yu Xiaoye and Director Zhou? Are they -"
Bai Zongdan quickly shook his head:
"I have no idea!"
"You really don't know?"
Bai Zongdan answered firmly:
"I really don't know."
He would rather lie to others than reveal what he knows.
Although others will know it sooner or later, at least they won’t know it from him.
Otherwise, how could he be worthy of Director Zhou?
How can he repay Yu Xiaoye for standing up for him!
Seeing that he denied it so firmly, everyone no longer had any doubts.
Because if Bai Zongdan really knew that there was something going on between Yu Xiaoye and the director, he would never write a love letter to Yu Xiaoye.
Isn't that seeking death?
But, what exactly happened between Yu Xiaoye and the director? Does anyone know the inside story?
The only person who might know is Secretary Jiang.
But Secretary Jiang kept his mouth shut and didn't say a word to anyone.
However, Secretary Jiang's attitude has already explained everything -
So Zhou Ziheng's
Yu Xiaoye's relationship had actually been gradually exposed in everyone's speculation, but it just lacked an opportunity to be made public. Everyone only dared to discuss it privately and did not dare to mention it in public.
-----
The turmoil caused by Bai Zongdan's love letter to Yu Xiaoye came to a temporary end with Zhou Ziheng going to the logging company and Yu Xiaoye returning home.
The government compound seemed to have returned to peace.
At least on the surface it calmed down.
All departments are operating as usual.
Only the work of the Propaganda Department was severely disrupted, and Section Chief Wei still needed some time to adjust.
Originally, according to Section Chief Wei's plan, he wanted to wait until the performance was over and have Bai Zongdan write an article and send it to the "Bingtuan Soldiers Newspaper" to report on their rehearsal of "White-Haired Girl".
By the way, I’ve attached a still from the play White-Haired Girl to promote the farm and show off its achievements.
By then, their Mishan Farm Propaganda Team will surely shine throughout the entire Construction Corps!
However, the sudden change completely disrupted Section Chief Wei's plan.
Now, although Bai Zongdan has been transferred back, Yu Xiaoye is gone.
Moreover, the future of this ballet is now uncertain, and it is unknown whether it can be performed again in the future.
If I can't perform in the future, there is no point in writing articles for newspapers.
Section Chief Wei was suddenly at a loss.
If Director Zhou was there, he could go and ask Director Zhou to see what the leader meant.
Since Director Zhou was not there, Section Chief Wei didn't know who to talk to.
No one dares to make a decision without consulting anyone.
Because this matter is a bit sensitive and involves the director's personal feelings.
After much deliberation, Section Chief Wei decided that it would be more appropriate to go and meet Yu Xiaoye.
