Siheyuan: I am stupid, I don't want to be a bootlicker

"Cough cough cough..."

In an instant, everyone in the conference room couldn't help themselves.

Some tried hard to cover their mouths while laughing, some couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing, and some choked and started coughing.

Even the usually serious Director Yang couldn't help laughing.

He Yuzhu's father, He Daqing, is a wonderful man!

Upon seeing this, Tang Junliang immediately stood up and bowed 90 degrees towards Meng Yi:

"I'm really sorry, Leader Meng. I was in charge of investigating this matter. There was something wrong with the direction of our investigation. I apologize to you here. I will accept any punishment or penalty."

Meng Yi glanced at Tang Junliang and said calmly:

"The person you need to apologize to is not me, but Comrade He Yuzhu who was wronged by you. I have the D and Z organizations behind me to take charge.

However, there are not many people who can make decisions for him."

"Pah, pah, pah, pah"

In an instant, many people in the huge conference room felt a burning sensation on their faces, as if they had just been slapped hard in the face.

This sentence is simply a blatant curse: Your steel mill is so big, with so many leaders, but there is not even one person who can distinguish right from wrong.

"Yes, yes, you are right. I was not thoughtful enough."

Tang Junliang looked humble, turned to look at He Yuzhu, bent down 90 degrees and bowed to apologize:

"Comrade He, this is the fault of our patrol team. We went in the wrong direction and misunderstood you. As the leader of the patrol team, I would like to apologize to you.

Of course, I still say that if I have to be beaten or punished, I will accept it."

He Yuzhu waved his hand and said calmly:

"Captain Tang, you don't have to be so polite. We are all doing work for the factory. It's okay to make mistakes. Just correct them in time."

Tang Junliang's face twitched violently, but he still bent down and nodded:

"Hey, your criticism is correct. Our patrol team will definitely correct it in time."

Xiang Juan saw that the deadlock had been resolved, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. She forced a smile and said:

“Well, since the patrol team was on the wrong track in this matter, it means that Comrade He Yuzhu is still a good comrade.

Next, let’s move on to the second thing in the report letter.”

After saying these two sentences, Xiang Juan looked at the old man sitting at the end and spoke slowly:

"Comrade Yi Zhonghai, you are an old comrade in our steel rolling mill, and you are also an eighth-level fitter. I believe that your ideology, morality, and ideological awareness are all first-class.

I asked you to come here today because I want you to talk about Comrade He Yuzhu's abuse of power for personal gain, being late and leaving early, and serious dereliction of duty during his tenure."

The first uncle is not like the second uncle who is a "politically illiterate" and cannot read people's expressions. He had already seen something fishy from what happened just now.

When Secretary Xiang called his name, he immediately stood up and admitted his mistake:

"Dear leaders, I don't know about other issues regarding Comrade He Yuzhu, but I do know about the abuse of power for personal gain."

When Xiang Juan heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Compared to the difficult Meng Yi just now, she still likes Yi Zhonghai, who is just a worker, and an old worker in the steel rolling mill.

Such people are easy to control.

The mood of the crowd, which had just calmed down, was suddenly aroused again by the strong fire of gossip.

Well, it may sound a bit... but this is indeed the true mentality of all the onlookers in the conference room.

"In that case, please tell me about this matter in detail."

Xiang Juan nodded with great satisfaction, the expression on her face softened a little, and there was some encouragement in her tone of voice.

"Hey, I understand, Secretary Xiang."

The uncle first responded to Juan, and then spoke again:

"The abuse of power for personal gain was caused by me. A few days ago, our Xiaojun got a strange disease and was almost dead when he was sent to the hospital.

My husband was so anxious that he had no choice but to come to the factory to find me. I knew that Comrade He Yuzhu was a good doctor, so I found him and asked him to go to the hospital to see my Xiaojun.

After all, the child was half dead at the time, so I had to try my best to save him.”

When the old man said this, Xiang Juan and Tang Junliang's faces had begun to turn pale.

Although the others didn't know what would happen next, they had already guessed the ending and they all subconsciously looked towards Juan.

"It was still working hours, but Comrade He Yuzhu immediately dropped his work and followed me to the hospital to save my son, Xiaojun.

By the way, I was in a hurry and didn’t have a bicycle, so Comrade He Yuzhu used his authority to ask Chief Pang for help and borrowed a bicycle.

Comrade He Yuzhu, today in front of all the leaders, I would like to express my gratitude to you. Thank you for saving my son Xiaojun's life.

I also want to say sorry to you. I caused you to abuse your power for personal gain, be late and leave early, and seriously neglect your duties. It's all my Xiaojun's fault. I'm sorry."

After saying these words, Yi Zhonghai also imitated what Tang Junliang had done just now and bowed 90 degrees to He Yuzhu to express his gratitude and apology.

Finally, he looked at the leaders in the factory:

"Dear leaders, I'm sorry. It's my fault. I used the factory's bicycle for my own personal affairs. I accept the punishment."

Everyone lowered their heads and kept silent, their eyes subconsciously focused on Xiang Juan's face, waiting for her next words.

Xiang Juan glared at Tang Junliang fiercely. Yi Zhonghai was also invited by Tang Junliang, and his original remarks were similar to Meng Yi's.

Tang Juncheng's expression could no longer be described in words. His face was as white as wipe paper, his eyelids kept twitching, and the corners of his mouth were twitching wildly.

The huge conference room became silent and depressing once again, and you could hear a pin drop.

Deputy Director Li and Section Chief Pang, the two biggest "investors", lowered their heads, their eyes falling on Xiang Juan, whose eyes were twitching, and they tried hard not to laugh.

Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming oppressive again, Tang Junliang, the number one scapegoat, was about to stand up and apologize again, but Xiang Juan raised her hand to stop him:

"Comrade Yi Zhonghai, I think you may have misunderstood. We asked you to come here to find out about Comrade He Yuzhu's lateness and early departure, which is a serious dereliction of duty.

You live in the same courtyard with him, so you must know exactly what time he goes to work and what time he comes home. Please tell me everything you know."

The uncle glanced at He Yuzhu, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke slowly:

"Because he had to take his wife to work at the street office, he left earlier than us in the morning, and came back from get off work in the afternoon at about the same time as us."

Xiang Juan was obviously dissatisfied with Yi Zhonghai's explanation and asked again:

"Can you give me an approximate time? As far as you know, has he ever been late or left early?"

The old man looked up at Xiang Juan, and seemed a little surprised by her question, but he still answered seriously:

“When he was the canteen director, he was the last one to leave and the first one to come back.

Later, after he took on the job of patrol team, he was the first to leave in the morning and the last to come back in the afternoon. After dinner, he would ride his bike for a stroll on the streets.

The lock of our yard can only be closed at 11 o'clock at the earliest, so the third uncle often has to leave the door open for him.

On Sundays when everyone is resting, he would ride his bike to the streets after breakfast to check on the patrol team. He would go in the afternoon as well, and if someone came to call him in the evening, he would go again.

I don't know his exact working hours, but I feel he does more work than me.

I don't know how you calculate being late or leaving early, or what dereliction of duty means, but so many people in our yard know about his situation.

Just ask anyone and you will find out that in the past there were always many young people coming to his house to have meals every few days, but now they are so busy that they don’t even have time to look after their children.

Moreover, her wife works for free in the street office during the day and is busy attending night school to improve her ideological awareness at night. The child has been drinking milk powder during the day since he was born.

I have worked in our factory for half my life, but this is the first time I have seen anyone working so hard. "

After saying these words, the uncle didn't even look at the faces of the crowd, and just sat down in his seat and began to "close his eyes and rest."

Xiang Juan learned her lesson this time and did not let the atmosphere cool down. When she heard what the old man said, she immediately smiled and said:

"Comrade Yi Zhonghai's words prove that Comrade He Yuzhu is indeed a good comrade who is dedicated to the public.

Our steel rolling mill, and even our motherland, needs such good young people to build it. We are very happy to have such good comrades.

Next, we verified the last thing in the report letter to clear Comrade He Yuzhu’s name.”

After Xiang Juan said this, she immediately set her eyes on Tong Xinya.

Tong Xinya's body trembled, her face turned pale instantly, and her whole body trembled slightly.

She was not a fool. In the previous two rounds of confrontation, she had seen that He Yuzhu had the upper hand and was beating Secretary Xiang back step by step, without him having the slightest ability to fight back.

She didn't know that if she spoke out the truth in front of so many people and her words were overturned, how would she be able to hold her head up high in the steel mill in the future.

However, Xiang Juan's cold face and Tang Junliang's indifferent eyes made her dare not retreat.

She knew that she was their last hope.

Thinking of this, she stood up suddenly, her whole body tense with nervousness, and two beads of cold sweat the size of beans appeared on her forehead.

"I, I report that He Yuzhu... He raped me."

The people in the conference room did not show various expressions on their faces that Tong Xinya had imagined were difficult for her to accept.

The way they looked at me was more of curiosity and admiration?

Curious about what?

What to admire?

Tong Xinya didn't know, and she couldn't help but delve into the current situation, because after Xiang Juan heard her words, her eyes lit up obviously:

"Xinya, as a woman, I admire your courage very much. Don't worry, the factory will give you a satisfactory explanation for this matter."

After Xiang Juan finished speaking, she turned to look at He Yuzhu and asked seriously:

"Comrade He Yuzhu, what do you want to say about this matter?"

He Yuzhu just glanced at Tong Xinya and asked calmly:

"Since you said that, I would like to ask you, when did this happen? You don't have to be specific about the time, just say whether it was morning, afternoon, or evening."

When everyone heard He Yuzhu ask this, their eyes all fell on Tong Xinya, waiting for her answer.

Tong Xinya's face flushed, and she lowered her head and spoke a time in a whisper.

When everyone heard this, and it was still daytime, they all looked at He Yuzhu with strange eyes.

Especially Deputy Factory Director Li and Section Chief Pang, their eyes were red, clearly saying:

Boy, no matter how impatient you are, you should at least wait until night, right?

He Yuzhu looked upset and glared at the two of them. He slowly stood up from his seat and scanned everyone, finally landing on Tong Xinya:

"Comrade Tong, I think I have no grudge against you, and I haven't offended you in any way, but you want to slander me like this."

"I don't!"

Tong Xinya raised her head suddenly, with two lines of tears already hanging from the corners of her eyes.

Her stubborn look with tears in her eyes made many of the gentlemen present feel sympathy for her and they all glared at He Yuzhu.

"Since you haven't slandered me, I'd like to ask you to tell me exactly where it happened and whether there was anyone else around at the time."

Although He Yuzhu had known for a long time that this woman was willing to report him under her real name, he did not expect that she would actually dare to speak so bluntly in front of so many people.

“During the day, around 6pm, not long after I got home from get off work, I heard someone knocking on the door.

I asked who you were, and you said it was you. I asked you what was the matter, and you said you had something about work to tell me.

I didn’t want to let you in, but you said it was urgent... I…”

When Tong Xinya said this, she couldn't help but shed tears again. She had already drafted what to do next in her mind many times.

Even that bastard Tang Junliang had explained it to him in detail many times to make sure that He Yuzhu had no room for rebuttal.

Finally, finally he...

When she thought of this, Tong Xinya's tears flowed even harder.

She just fell in love with a man, and she just wanted to do something for this man, why did she end up in such a situation where she lost both her wife and her army?

Especially afterwards, Tang Junliang took a look at the clean mattress, then turned to look at himself, with endless ridicule and contempt in his eyes.

It was as if I was that evil woman who was unforgivable and could be slept with by anyone.
