"Um, Nana's cold, can I borrow your cushions for a bit? I'll return them when I get back."
Zhu Qinghao couldn't take it anymore. Together with Si Tian, they looked at him with eyes that seemed to regard him as an idiot, remaining silent for a long time.
"Hey, I'm talking about you two. Is there anyone else on this bus? What's with you two not saying anything?"
"Nothing, I just think your face is really big."
After Zhu Qinghao finished speaking, he gestured for Si Tian to ignore him. Si Tian obeyed and sat close to Zhu Qinghao, completely ignoring him.
"Hey, you two, stop pretending to be deaf and ignoring us. Can you really bear to see Nana uncomfortable? This is called forming cliques and undermining unity!"
After listening to the whole thing, Wang Fulin finally understood why Zhu Qinghao and the other woman disliked this person so much. He considered himself to have a good temper, but at this moment, he was almost at his wit's end.
"Shi Qiang, just shut up. It's their freedom to lend or not lend other people's things. Lending is a favor, not lending is their right. Don't just label people all the time."
If you continue like this after you get to the team, always labeling people in the team with this or that, don't blame me for sending you back to the educated youth office!
And you, Zhu Pandi, stop stirring up trouble. I've lived for decades, and I've met at least thirty or fifty educated youths. I've seen plenty of people like you."
"Me, Captain, could you please stop calling me Zhu Pandi? I've changed my name; I'm called Zhu Nana now..."
The captain frowned and clicked his tongue.
"What do you mean by 'that' and 'this'? The list provided by the commune only lists Zhu Pandi. You say you changed your name, but will the Public Security Bureau recognize it? Has it been changed on your household registration? This isn't something you can just change on your own."
The captain's words weren't entirely unreasonable, but for some reason, Zhu Pandi sat there and started sobbing again.
Shi Qiang, who was standing nearby, was heartbroken to see this.
"Captain, why are you always taking their side? Did you get some benefits from them? Can't you see how sad and cold Nana is? As the captain, shouldn't you do something about it? If you're not going to do anything, fine, but you're even scolding us?"
Wang Fulin thought that by speaking up, he could quiet Shi Qiang down, but he didn't expect that Shi Qiang would turn the tables on him, making him so angry that he almost jumped out of the passenger seat to beat him up.
Before he could even make a move, Zhu Qinghao stepped forward and slapped Shi Qiang hard across the face.
"Smack—"
"Phew, I've been holding back for so long, it finally feels good."
She had been holding back, even dragging Si Tian into it, just to let the captain see the true colors of this idiot. Now he must have seen them.
"Shi Qiang, that's enough! It's one thing to slander us with baseless accusations, but now you're even slandering the brigade commander. What evidence do you have to prove that the brigade commander accepted our gifts?"
"No, let's go to the committee right now and talk to them. Either we go in, or you go in, what do you say?"
Shi Qiang's face, which was already stinging from the cold, was now slapped, causing him double the pain so much that he couldn't speak and could only keep waving his hands.
He's just a smart aleck, not stupid to the point of being utterly stupid. Besides, he only said those things in a moment of panic, and he regretted it as soon as he said them.
Now that he's been sent to the countryside, as long as the brigade leader doesn't fall from power, he'll always have to live under someone else's control, which is why he doesn't dare to make a scene at the committee.
Seeing him wave his hand, Zhu Qinghao snorted coldly and returned to her seat.
Hearing that crisp sound, Wang Fulin felt extremely pleased, so he didn't utter a sound and pretended that he wasn't there at all.
