Chapter 350 Convincing the Public
As a second-generation person, Wu Zhen naturally knew the importance of maintaining stability,
so he didn’t care about Hu Meng speaking out, but continued to instigate:
"Hey, Chief Hu, you said Wang Yuanchao was also a chief of the educated youth center, but now he is doing so well and has become the director of the red brick factory. You were also a chief of the educated youth center, but now you are just a teacher in the village primary school.
You're not even a principal, and you say you're just a director. Why is there such a big gap between you and Wang Yuanchao?
And I don't understand, Wang Yuanchao, he is also an educated youth, he can obviously help us, but he just stood by and watched us coldly, he is so cold-blooded,
You are still helping him, what do you want?"
Hu Meng was provoked by Wu Zhen and was very angry. He said with nostalgia:
"Wu Zhiqing, after all, you have never experienced the time when Director Wang was the head of a factory, so I don't blame you for not understanding.
It is precisely because I am now the head of a youth educated camp that I know clearly how much my abilities fall short of those of Director Wang.
Director Wang was one of the first batch of educated youth to go to the countryside to work in the Red Flag Brigade. We and He Jianguo were the second batch. When Director Wang was the head of the site, he was like a sun, warming all of us educated youth.
At that time, there were no quarrels or complaints at the educated youth site. All the educated youth were positive. Even if everyone was in pain after working in the fields and returning home, Wang Changye used his unique personal charm to teach everyone political lessons and heal their wounds.
The educated youth work at that time was positive, sunny and peaceful. Every educated youth had a clear goal, a passion to change the world and a spirit of dedication to the country.
No matter how hard or tired we are, we never complain. With our practical actions, we change the Hongqi Brigade little by little, and help the Hongqi Brigade to get rid of poverty and become rich little by little.
At that time, we educated youth lived so vigorously every day. It was nothing like the educated youth camps now. Everyone has their own little thoughts and only cares about their own personal interests. No one has a clear goal to strive for. We live together every day, but we are like a pile of loose sand. Without Director Wang, we educated youth are lost. Alas. "
After hearing what Hu Meng said, Ji Chengjun was also very surprised. He thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed the case. At that time, Wang Yuanchao had too much halo and too high reputation. In the educated youth point, except Yu Tian, no one dared to compete with Wang Yuanchao.
This led to everyone doing whatever Wang Yuanchao guided them to do, and as a result, everyone and the Red Flag Brigade had a better and better life here.
Gradually, everyone became more and more motivated.
The current youth training centers cannot be compared with the previous environment.
In the current youth cadre sites, Hu Meng does not have such prestige, which leads to the youth cadres banding together for warmth. Several factions are established in the youth cadre sites, and each of them plans for the interests of their own faction.
The current educated youth sites are indeed a mess.
But this is human nature, and Hu Meng does not have the ability to change everyone's nature.
Unless there comes a person whose prestige can overwhelm everyone, the educated youth in the future will not be able to fight together.
It would be good if everyone does not fight among themselves for their own interests, unless a group of interests emerges that can suppress other groups.
Otherwise, the educated youth at the educated youth point would be just like that.
Thinking of this, Ji Chengjun said: "What Director Hu said is right. Although Director Wang, Liu Jianguo, and Yu Tian did not get along with me at that time, when Director Wang was still the director, the educated youth in our youth camp were able to unite as one and devote all their efforts to building a new socialist countryside.
The current situation at the educated youth camps is this, everyone is fighting on their own, and as for the results, hey, everyone knows.
So, big brother, don't talk about the second brother, you have no right to control how we entered the red brick factory,
so, everyone should do what they should do,
Don't be so stupid as to be used as a tool by others. You will be taken advantage of."
Liu Jianguo came back to his senses at this time and immediately said loudly: "Yes, everyone knows that the environment in the Red Flag Brigade is good now.
Everyone can come here to work in the countryside, who doesn't have some background? If you really join in the fun, then you won't have a good future, and everyone will just go to the fields to work as peasants.
You guys are holding us captive today, so I want to see if you can cause trouble when you have the chance to step forward."
The educated youth at the educated youth point thought this made sense.
After all, the Red Flag Brigade is developing well now, and everyone has many opportunities to escape from the farmland. There is really no need to hold on to Ji Chengjun and Liu Jianguo. After all, if we can hold on to them today, we can hold on to ourselves in the future.
From now on, everyone should stop struggling and just roll around in the mud every day, and let everyone suffer together.
So when Liu Jianguo said this, many people who followed suit immediately backed off.
Only Shen Yifang didn't want to give up just like that, because Shen Yifang came to the countryside for Liu Qianqian's property.
It was just that Shen Yifang came to the countryside alone, without any help, and her family did not provide much financial support. After Liu Qianqian was completely disappointed with her relatives, Shen Yifang could not control Liu Qianqian at all, and no one helped her.
As a result, for such a long time, Shen Yifang was the one who was worn out by the farm work all day. Because she had no money and did not work in the fields, Shen Yifang could not even support herself and was about to starve to death. Naturally, she had no extra energy to make trouble with Liu Qianqian.
So for Shen Yifang, only when the educated youth at the educated youth point made trouble could she gain some benefits from the chaos. If no one made trouble, Shen Yifang, a girl from an ordinary family with little money, would not be able to make any waves in the Red Flag Brigade, and could only blame herself for the desperate and hard days.
But now everyone's quarreling has stopped, and Shen Yifang doesn't dare to do anything wrong. She can only let things calm down.
After the lights in the dormitory of the educated youth were turned off at night, Shen Yifang said unwillingly to Fan Xiaohui beside her:
"Fan Zhiqing, why did Ji Chengjun and Liu Jianguo suddenly go to work at the Red Brick Factory?
They used to have a bad relationship with Director Wang.
Why would Director Wang let them into the factory? "
Since Fan Xiaohui was arranged by Wang Yuanchao to raise pigs in the poultry breeding base, she has received high work points every day and the work is much easier than working in the fields. She has always been grateful to Wang Yuanchao.
Naturally, Shen Yifang would not slander Wang Yuanchao, so he said: "You don't know Wang Dianzhang at all. Wang Dianzhang is a man of outstanding ability, broad-minded and kind. Otherwise, none of us educated youth would respect him so much.
As for Ji Chengjun and Liu Jianguo being able to enter the factory, it is not necessarily because they found Director Wang. Just like the educated youth Cheng Xi before, didn’t she also suddenly enter the Red Brick Factory? Didn’t she also find Director Wang? "
