The three followed the Minister of Armed Forces to the office of the Ministry of Armed Forces.
Jiang Baige took out the letter of introduction from the village chief, Grandma Meng's hospital admission certificate, and the educated youth certificate, and placed them all on the desk in front of the minister.
Fortunately, she kept this thing in her bag, otherwise she would have to go to the hospital to prove herself.
Shen Zhendong picked it up and took a look, "Little comrade, are you an educated youth?"
Jiang Baige nodded, "Yes, I just arrived not long ago. I thought I had knocked down an old lady, so I sent her to the county town for medical treatment."
Shen Zhendong asked again: "Little comrade, since you are accompanying someone to see a doctor, why did you go to East Street instead of taking care of the patient in the hospital?"
Jiang Baige explained: "I have never been to this county before. I am very curious about it and want to go and take a look."
"I was originally planning to go to the state-owned restaurant and buy some nutritious food to nourish the old lady."
"But when I got to the street, I realized I couldn't tell east from west or north here, and I got lost as soon as I left the house."
"Jiang Baige said helplessly, and the transportation facilities in your county are not perfect. There is not even a signpost."
"The streets are all messed up. I turned around and around and didn't know where I was. They were all dead ends. It was really difficult for outsiders to get around here."
I had just found someone to ask for directions and was about to go back to the hospital. I don’t know how unlucky I was to run into this guy.
Her words were flawless, with the cause, time, people, place, and evidence all included.
After listening to her, Shen Zhendong felt that it was very reasonable and there was no problem at all.
He then said to the two men with red armbands, "You two comrades, you want to arrest this and that without any evidence."
"Your Public Security Office is too idle, but you have to come up with something to do. This is really ridiculous."
The two red armbands originally thought that since the young comrade could not produce any evidence, they would detain her for one night. But they were afraid that the Minister of Armed Forces would tell them about this, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads.
"They now just hope that Minister Shen won't be too involved and report today's incident to their captain."
Shen Zhendong said: "Okay, why don't you apologize to the female comrade."
The man listened to Minister Shen's words and apologized: "Comrade, we have wronged you. Please forgive me and don't make a fuss with me."
Jiang Baige had a look of disdain on her face, not even glancing at the two of them, and she even didn't forget to make a few sarcastic remarks.
"Comrade, you guys are wearing this skin, so why don't you do something practical for the people? The streets are so dirty, why don't you just clean them up? You keep targeting the poor all the time."
"You bumped into me today, but I'm young and can withstand your bump."
"If you try to hit an old lady, would that old lady still be okay?"
Hearing her words, the two of them hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, comrade, you are right."
After being tamed by Jiang Baige, the two men put away their arrogant expressions and apologized sincerely.
Because of this delay, lunch time was already past. Jiang Baige was in a hurry to go back. The old lady in the hospital must be worried by now.
Jiang Baige got up from the chair. Her knees still hurt a little when she walked, and she limped.
He asked, "Comrades, can I go back now?"
Shen Zhendong nodded, “Okay, you can go!
Seeing the female comrade about to leave, Shen Zhendong said to the two red armbands, "You bumped into her like this, and you don't even have any expression?"
Jiang Baige had never really thought about asking for compensation. When she heard the minister talking about compensation, she looked at the two people coldly.
The two men with red armbands looked at each other, both wondering in their hearts, how should they compensate and how much should they pay?
That woman is used to being stingy. Now that she hears that she needs compensation, isn't that like asking for her life?
Suddenly I realized that I didn't do it, so why should I pay for it myself?
"Brother Zhu, you hit this comrade, it has nothing to do with me."
The man surnamed Zhu was awakened and asked: Minister Shen, how should this be compensated?
Shen Zhendong glanced at Jiang Baige and thought, "This female comrade looks very weak. She is an educated youth from another place. It would be inappropriate if I don't accompany her enough.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Then it's five yuan, a grain coupon, and a pound of sugar coupon.
This is the most suitable price he can help you get. If you ask him for too much, he may not give it to you.
Jiang Baige really wanted something, and now the minister asked for it for her, so she nodded.
"Well, that's all! Any more is fine.
The man thought it was a matter that could be resolved with just one or two dollars, but the minister told him he had to compensate the comrade with five dollars and pay for two tickets.
His face instantly turned bitter. Minister, can you please say less? This is too much.
Seeing that he seemed unwilling, Jiang Baige rolled her eyes at him and said, "How about I beat you like this too, and then we'll be even."
Hearing that the comrade wanted to fight back, the man was speechless for a moment, "Okay, okay, I'll give it to you."
He took out a handful of money from his pocket. This man is really rich. He can easily take out a large amount of money.
They were all one or two yuan each, with some bills sandwiched in between.
The man counted out a handful of money and bills, "Comrade, count them."
Jiang Baige took it without counting it. He would not dare to lie in front of the minister.
Jiang Baige looked at the money in his hand, put it in his pocket with a nonchalant expression on his face, and said, "Be more careful when you walk next time. Others are not as easy to talk to as I am."
Chen Jianguo listened to her words and wanted to laugh but held back. He had long been fed up with these people in the security team, but he didn't expect that he could be dealt with by a junior comrade.
The man surnamed Zhu was so angry with her that he wanted to say something but didn't dare to.
When he left, he said to Shen Zhendong again: "Comrade Minister, thank you! I'll leave first."
Looking at the female educated youth limping away, Shen Zhendong smiled and said, "Little comrade, don't take the wrong path next time."
Jiang Baige responded from a distance, "Thank you for the reminder."
Seeing Jiang Baige leave, Shen Zhendong said to the two red armbands, "You guys should leave too! Look how you bumped into that female comrade. Be careful next time you're on a mission."
Jiang Baige originally didn't want to ask such a person for compensation. She was afraid of offending such a person. If she came again in the future, she didn't know whether they would cause trouble for her.
If that's the case, it would be a waste of time and effort.
Jiang Baige came out of the armed forces department, asked the guard at the door for directions, and then returned to the hospital.
In the office of the Armed Forces Department, Shen Zhendong smiled at Chen Jianguo beside him and said, "This young educated youth is quite interesting. It seems that he went to your village to work in the countryside."
Chen Jianguo nodded. "That should be the case. My father wrote the letter of introduction. The person she bumped into is Grandma Meng, the one next door to my house."
