Rebirth 78 was replaced by a husband, the cold educated youth pulled the curtains every day

The matter of Du Dawei and Accountant Tian embezzling money.

Although Lu Ye knew about it, he had no evidence at all. Even if he wanted to report it, his words were not enough to prove it.

After returning to the village, Lu Ye went to the brigade headquarters to return the tools.

There was a jeep parked in the brigade headquarters yard.

It attracted many people to gather and watch.

In that era, cars were rare, and those who could ride in one were all high-ranking officials.

Du Dawei was warmly welcoming a middle-aged man. His usually serious face now looked like a blooming chrysanthemum.

Seeing Lu Ye and his production team coming back, Du Dawei looked among the crowd and soon found Lu Ye.

"Lu Ye!"

"Come here!" Du Dawei waved vigorously at Lu Ye in the crowd.

Chen Hao looked at Du Dawei and whispered to Lu Ye, "Brother Ye, Secretary Du is calling you."

"I heard it."

Lu Ye's eyes were fixed on the middle-aged man next to Du Dawei. The man was wearing a white Dacron shirt, navy blue suit pants, and a pair of shiny leather shoes. He looked very impressive.

Du Dawei called himself, obviously because of this person.

But Lu Ye was sure that he didn't know this person at all.

"Lu Ye, come here." Seeing that Lu Ye didn't move, Du Dawei urged and shouted again.

Following Du Dawei's gaze, Lin Zhiqiang also looked at Lu Ye.

A thin young man from the countryside, tall, with a flat head, a pair of thick eyebrows slightly raised in the shape of swords, and exceptionally bright eyes.

Lu Ye stepped forward and said, "Secretary, you called me."

"Lu Ye, did you save an old man in the county town yesterday?" Du Dawei asked.

It turned out to be this.

Lu Ye immediately understood something.

The old man was riding a brand new Phoenix bicycle and was dressed better than ordinary people. Now that I think about it, he really didn't look like an ordinary old man.

Looking at this middle-aged man again, he is somewhat similar to the old man from yesterday.

"Yes, I met an old man who fell off his bike, and I was sent to the hospital with others." Lu Ye nodded in agreement.

"It's really you." Du Dawei said with a smile on his face.

Seeing that he had found the right person, Lin Zhiqiang immediately extended his hand towards Lu Ye:

"Thank you, young comrade. I'm Lin Zhiqiang, the son of the injured old man. It was thanks to you that my father received timely medical treatment yesterday. Otherwise, the consequences would have been disastrous."

"I came to you today specifically to express my gratitude to you."

Lu Ye and Lin Zhiqiang shook hands.

"Hello."

"We left early yesterday. How is the old man now?"

"Thanks to your deposit, the doctor performed surgery on my father in time. The broken bones have been put back in place. He will just need to slowly recover from this."

"My father is extremely grateful to you. He has been telling me to make sure you visit the hospital again. He wants to personally express his gratitude to you, his benefactors."

"Oh, by the way, there's this."

Lin Zhiqiang took out an envelope from his pocket.

Holding it with both hands, he handed it to Lu Ye.

"This is the deposit you helped to advance. Please be sure to accept it."

Lin Zhiqiang's respectful look surprised Du Dawei.

"Lu Ye, why don't you thank Director Lin?"

Thanks?

Lu Ye glanced at Du Dawei.

This is my money, okay? I saved his father, and he should pay me back. This is only natural. If anyone wants to thank someone, it should be me.

Director Lin?

Seeing Du Dawei looking like he wanted to lick someone's ass, Lu Ye guessed that Director Lin might be from a prominent background.

"I'm relieved that the old man is fine. It's just a small favor, there's no need to thank me. I'll take the money, and we're even now." Lu Ye took the envelope and said softly.

Seeing Lu Ye being so ungrateful, Du Dawei was extremely anxious.

Lu Ye didn't know who Lin Zhiqiang was, but he knew.

He was the director of the city's refrigerator factory, managing thousands of people and holding considerable power.

As long as Lin Zhiqiang opens his mouth, he can easily arrange formal jobs for several state-owned factories, and even allocate housing to employees with just a word from him.

Lu Ye was fortunate enough to meet such a person, but he didn't know how to cherish him.

In Du Dawei's opinion, Lu Ye was extremely stupid at this moment.

"Lu Ye, Director Lin came all the way here just to express his gratitude to you. You should keep a proper attitude." Du Dawei reminded with a stern face.

Du Dawei interrupted twice, which made Lin Zhiqiang a little dissatisfied.

After all, Lu Ye was his father's savior, and he came to express his gratitude, but Du Dawei scolded Lu Ye repeatedly.

This does not elevate his status, but makes him more embarrassed.

"Secretary Du, I still need to talk to Comrade Lu alone. You are busy with work, so you don't have to accompany us." Lin Zhiqiang said with displeasure in his tone.

Du Dawei was stunned when he heard this, but he still said with a smile: "Okay, then you guys chat."

Du Dawei retreated back to the brigade office and looked at Lin Zhiqiang and Lu Ye outside through the window.

I feel a little cold in my heart.

Originally, he wanted to take this opportunity to get close to Lin Zhiqiang and get to know him so that he could find formal jobs for his two sons.

If that were the case, Du Yong and Du Meng would be able to move into the city and become city dwellers, eat commercial grain, and complete a fundamental transformation in their identities.

But this Lin Zhiqiang actually drove him away in front of so many people in the yard, obviously not taking him, the brigade secretary, seriously at all.

Not only did he fail to make the acquaintance, but he also lost face, which made Du Dawei secretly resentful.

"Comrade Lu, the information you left at the hospital also mentioned Comrade Su's name. I see you have the same address. Could you take me to see Comrade Su so I can thank you both?"

"Su Mengyao is my wife, she is at home."

"Actually, you really don't have to be so polite. We don't save people for any reward. As long as the old man is okay, we are blessed." Lu Ye declined again.

When Lu Ye saved people, he didn't think about getting any reward.

Although Lin Zhiqiang came to him at this moment and expressed his gratitude, Lu Ye really didn't want this.

So he had no intention of bowing down in front of Lin Zhiqiang.

On the contrary,

At this moment, Lu Ye was in front of Lin Zhiqiang, and was even the one with a superior attitude.

As for Su Mengyao.

His father was about to be reinstated, and as the director of a small refrigerator factory, she was nothing compared to his father, so Su Mengyao naturally wouldn't ask for any "thanks".

Lin Zhiqiang has been the factory director for so many years and is used to others' flattery. He has seen too many people like Du Dawei just now.

But people like Lu Ye, who is obviously just a farmer with muddy feet, are neither humble nor arrogant in front of him, and are calm and composed. Such people are rare.

"This young man..."

The more unrequited a favor is, the more it will be remembered.

At this moment, Lin Zhiqiang sincerely felt that Lu Ye was a straightforward and honest young man, worthy of their family's friendship.
