1970s: Transmigrated into a cannon fodder female supporting character in a lucky koi novel!

He Zheng was still a little resentful, but he didn't dare to speak and could only lower his head meekly.

Director Guo could tell what he was thinking just by looking at him, so he patiently analyzed the pros and cons for him.

He Zheng then panicked, "Uncle, we just had two meals together, we're just ordinary friends, there's really nothing between us!"

Seeing that he had realized the seriousness of the matter, Director Guo softened his tone, "If there were anything wrong, would you still be standing here getting beaten up by me?"

He Zheng was instantly deflated. Over the years, many people had tried to curry favor with him because of his uncle's status, and he could tell whether the friends around him were sincere or not.

She had initially thought Jiang Chen would be an accident, but it turned out he had also approached her with a purpose.

Director Guo knew his nephew well; he had been raised to be too naive, which was why he was deceived by his friends. Especially after that incident, he became even more determined to make a few true friends, which is why he was so easily fooled by Jiang Chen.

"Don't be sad. As long as your uncle is in this position, those who get close to you, whether they're sincere or not, will only fawn over you!"

"I just want to make a few true friends!"

Director Guo sighed helplessly, "You!"

It wasn't until two days later that Wen Li found out that He Zheng, whom Jiang Chen had finally managed to get in touch with, was no longer paying attention to him.

She secretly admired Qin Hai's competence, wondering what he had said to Director Guo that had so easily ruined Jiang Chen's long-planned scheme.

Jiang Chen originally thought it didn't matter if that person was arrested, since he had already gotten involved with that idiot He Zheng. He believed that once Director Guo met him, he would definitely look at him in a new light.

But in just one day, He Zheng disappeared.

He really lost everything this time. After two months of hard work, the connections he had painstakingly built up were severed again.

If it weren't for the crackdown on feudal superstition, he would have liked to go to the temple to pray. Since being sent to the countryside, it seems that nothing has gone smoothly for him.

One bad thing after another happened; there was never a moment when things went smoothly.

He finally found some connections, and his grandfather's life improved a little, but now he probably has to start planning all over again.

Looking at Jiang Chen's dejected appearance, Wen Li smiled faintly. It seemed that her choice to take things slowly was the right one.

As the chosen ones of this world, the male and female protagonists cannot be condemned outright, but their luck can be gradually worn down. Once their luck is gone, they will eventually become ordinary people.

Tomorrow is the day Chen Jiahao and Jiang Laosi will leave. Today, Chen Jiahao specially prepared a table of dishes to treat everyone in the educated youth compound to a meal.

Chen Jiahao even bought two bottles of baijiu (Chinese liquor) and an old hen, which was quite generous of him.

"I'm leaving tomorrow. Thank you all for your care over the years. I wish you all the best for the future!"

At this moment, Chen Jiahao was in high spirits, completely unlike his dejected and downcast self of the previous few days.

Everyone raised their glasses respectfully, and no one made any sarcastic remarks at this moment. However, compared to Chen Jiahao's smugness, everyone's mood was clearly not as good.

The awkward atmosphere gradually subsided. Chen Jiahao was in a good mood and didn't care what others were thinking. He only put down his chopsticks after everyone had eaten and drunk their fill.

"The captain asked me to choose a new person in charge before I leave. Does anyone know of a suitable candidate?"

People are quite concerned about the new head of the educated youth institute. This person must be reliable, capable, and have good interpersonal skills.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Chen Jiahao spoke first, "If no one has a suitable candidate, I can recommend one!"

Deng Wei looked at Chen Jiahao curiously, "Oh? I wonder who Chen, the educated youth, wants to recommend?"

"Pan, the educated youth, has been in the countryside for three years now. He's always been enthusiastic about work and gets along well with everyone. What do you all think?"

The crowd's expressions were not very pleasant. Pan Yong was a man who loved to take advantage of others, lacked ability, and did not get along well with everyone. Who would let such a person be the head of the educated youth institute?

"I think Pan Zhiqing is a good candidate, and I agree to let him be the head of the educated youth institute!"

Seeing that everyone was silent, Jiang Chen took the lead in raising his hand to express his opinion.

Immediately afterwards, Shu Yun and Xiao Liang also raised their hands in agreement.

Qi Yang and Zeng Wei also raised their hands in agreement.

Pan Yong stood up with a smile. "Thank you all for your support. Our educated youth compound is a unified whole. No matter who you choose, I assure you that if I become the person in charge, I will do my best to serve you all, unite our comrades, help you, and ensure that no one is bullied!"

Pan Yong spoke with heartfelt sincerity, and Niu Zhaodi immediately raised her hand in agreement.

The rest of the people remained silent and did not raise their hands.

Chen Jiahao was a little embarrassed. As the former person in charge, he recommended candidates for everyone before leaving, but these people didn't give him any face. Wasn't this a slap in his face?

Especially those people in the backyard, they all looked at Wen Li and didn't pay any attention to him.

"Wen, what are your thoughts?"

Wen Li just smiled. The reason Chen Jiahao asked for her opinion was simply to get her to raise her hand and agree that Pan Yong should be in charge.

But Wen Li just didn't want to give him that face. Not only were Pan Yong and Jiang Chen in cahoots, but they were also enemies. How could she possibly agree to Pan Yong being the person in charge?

"I think Qi Jun, a former educated youth, is more suitable to be in charge!"

Chen Jiahao was surprised that Wen Lizhen didn't follow the script. He concealed his displeasure and forced an ugly smile.

"But Qi, a former educated youth, has only been in the countryside for a year and doesn't understand many social customs. I'm worried he won't be able to handle the job!"

Qi Jun hadn't originally considered this position, but there really wasn't a suitable candidate. If Pan Yongzhen were to become the person in charge, given Jiang Chen's personality, he would definitely cause them trouble.

Since Wen Li has spoken up, he can temporarily take on this position.

"I can learn what I don't know. I believe I am capable of this position, and may even do better than Pan Zhiqing. If you choose me, I will treat every comrade fairly and justly in the future, and I will not take advantage of my position to benefit any comrade!"

Qi Jun's words were a direct reference to Chen Jiahao, who, as the person in charge, had taken advantage of everyone quite a bit.

But he was smart and knew where everyone's bottom line was, so he never crossed it, and everyone usually turned a blind eye.

Even if Wen Li and her group started firing individually, he wouldn't gain any advantage, and they wouldn't meddle in his business.

Chen Jiahao's face was very ugly. It's fine for everyone to know the truth, but to bring it up in public is very embarrassing.

"Qi, what do you mean by this?"

Qi Jun didn't care whether he was angry or not. He was about to leave, yet he still wanted to boss people around in the educated youth compound. He was really spoiled.
