Luo Yan looked left at Liu Fengling, who insisted she hadn't stolen anything, and right at Fang Aihua, who vehemently denied abusing her power for personal gain.
Something's not right, something's really not right!
Last night, my mother and Sun Bailing were attacked on the street, and today Fang Aihua dared to send Liu Fengling to take over my mother's job, as if she was certain that my mother wouldn't come.
Did Fang Aihua know that her mother would get into trouble, which is why she was so fearless?
But how did she know?
Thinking of the two bullets that were aimed at her mother last night, Luo Yan concluded that Fang Aihua was in serious trouble.
Luo Yan looked around at everyone present. The expressions on everyone's faces were very genuine. Looking at Liu Fengling, she saw nothing unusual except hatred and anger.
Only Fang Aihua, though maintaining a calm demeanor on the surface, revealed a suspicious hint of panic and guilt in her eyes.
Luo Yan walked to Chen Yuanshan's side and patted him. Chen Yuanshan looked down and saw that it was Luo Yan, so he bent down and picked her up.
Luo Yan hooked her arm around Chen Yuanshan's neck with one hand and pointed at Fang Aihua with the other, "Grandpa, Grandpa, piupiu."
Chen Yuanshan had already realized from the Sun Qingwu bombing case that the little girl possessed extraordinary skills, making her quite different from ordinary children. He had no doubts after hearing Luo Yan's words.
It seems that Fang Aihua must be involved in the attack on Sun Bailing and Hua Li last night, so this matter is beyond the control of the mayor's secretary.
Chen Yuanshan handed Luo Yan over to Hua Li and said to Fang Aihua, "Come with me."
Seeing that Hua Li was alright, Fang Aihua was already frightened, and being pointed at by Luo Yan made her even more terrified. How could she possibly go with Chen Yuanshan?
"What exactly is your relationship with Hua Li? Why are you forcing me to go with you without even asking what happened? Aren't you afraid of using your position for personal gain and tarnishing the reputation of the military?"
Chen Yuanshan really isn't afraid of using this kind of thing to smear him.
"Fang Aihua, you are the one who smears the military, not me. I advise you to think carefully before you speak, lest you offend someone even more."
At this moment, Secretary Zhou, who had been observing for half a day, asked Fang Aihua a question.
"Comrade Chen was just asking a routine question. What is Director Fang afraid of?"
Fang Aihua's expression stiffened. "You can ask him anything here. Why do you want to go with him?"
"Okay, then let's ask here..."
Chen Yuanshan stared into Fang Aihua's eyes and asked.
How can you be so sure that Hua Li won't come today?
Fang Aihua was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, almost jumping up.
"She only works sporadically, how am I supposed to know if she'll even come?"
"Don't you know why someone else was put in Hua Li's position before Hua Li resigned?"
“I…” Fang Aihua couldn’t answer.
Chen Yuanshan's face was cold and stern. "Or do you know all along that Hua Li can't come today?"
Fang Aihua's mind went blank, her face drained of all color, and she stood there, pale and bewildered.
Although Secretary Zhou did not know why Chen Yuanshan was suddenly targeting Fang Aihua, he trusted Chen Yuanshan's character and knew that he was not making baseless accusations. Upon hearing this and seeing Fang Aihua's reaction, alarm bells immediately went off in his mind.
"Fang Aihua, confess and you will be treated leniently, resist and you will be punished severely. I advise you to confess honestly and not go further down the wrong path."
Fang Aihua was terrified; cold sweat dripped down her forehead.
Chen Yuanshan gave Fang Aihua a push, and Fang Aihua obediently walked outside.
Liu Fengling, supported by Liu Qiang and Wang Wei, followed behind. The group left through the employee entrance, and then the work bell rang, signaling the start of normal business for the supply and marketing cooperative.
Luo Yan was no stranger to the supply and marketing cooperative. While Hua Li was busy taking inventory, Luo Yan stood on a stool to help sell the goods.
There were few types of cigarettes, and the prices were easy to remember; Luo Yan memorized them all after just one glance.
When a customer came in wanting to buy cigarettes, Luo Yan took out the cigarettes the customer had ordered and arranged them on the counter according to quantity and price, then asked Hua Li to calculate the bill.
When customers wanted to weigh tobacco leaves, Luo Yan would take out the tobacco leaves and let them weigh them themselves. After weighing, she would then ask Hua Li to calculate the bill.
Of course, Luo Yan also knew how to treat people differently. If someone was difficult or troublesome, Luo Yan would ignore them and have Hua Li receive them directly.
A customer saw that Luo Yan, with her small nose, was actually helping her mother sell goods, and was so amused that she didn't want to leave, so she kept playing with Luo Yan.
Luo Yan doesn't dislike friendly closeness and will cooperate with the interaction, while also selling more goods to avoid the cigarettes being wasted if left out for too long in the humid summer weather.
Hua Li joked that Luo Yan had managed to sell several of Hua Li's less-than-stellar inventory items.
"You're better at selling than I am. Looks like you don't need to go to kindergarten anymore, you should just go straight to elementary school."
Luo Yan's eyes lit up upon hearing this. This way, she wouldn't have to endure the little brats' wailing every day. What a great idea! Luo Yan nodded excitedly.
Hua Li chuckled and patted Luo Yan's head, "Dream on. I don't want a little brat who can't even speak clearly."
That really hit home, and Luo Yan's face fell.
Hua Li checked the inventory and found nothing missing. It must have been because Liu Fengling had just arrived that Hua Li arrived, so she hadn't had time to take the items yet.
This time she offended Fang Aihua. Even if Liu Fengling is no longer around, there will be Li Fengling and Zhao Fengling to be Fang Aihua's pawns. Her future days are probably going to be tough.
When Chen Yuanshan arrived, Hua Li was resting on a stool in the corner. Luo Yan poured some spiritual spring water into a cup and handed it to Hua Li to drink.
Seeing Chen Yuanshan approach, Hua Li placed the empty cup on the windowsill and stood up.
Chen Yuanshan smiled and said to Hua Li.
"Yan Yan has made a great contribution. In addition to providing clues about a human trafficking gang last time, the two great merits combined have led the Municipal Bureau to decide to award Yan Yan the title of 'Heroic Model' and a reward of 500 yuan. The director will personally present the award to Yan Yan tomorrow."
Hua Li was completely bewildered. "When did Yan Yan perform such a great service?"
