I was a daigou in the 60s

"Hey, Lao Xiao, you have a good relationship with that brother, right?"

"I heard there's something wrong with his file. Do you know what's going on?"

Xiao Dongqing was stunned.

"I, I really don't know." His mind was in a mess.

Xiao Dongqing is the best among their new employees, ranking first in both the written test and the interview.

He still remembers that during the interview, Deputy Section Chief Mr. Zhai praised him highly.

How come this happened suddenly?

Problem with the file?

Xiao Dongqing felt dizzy.

He subconsciously looked at Gao Zhicong, who also had a confused look on his face.

Gao Zhicong looked at him and couldn't help but swear.

"Damn it, if this hadn't happened, I should have been number one!"

Xiao Dongqing was speechless for a moment. Isn't this the time to discuss this issue?

Lu Shujuan next to her had her eyes lit up, she stood up excitedly and spoke loudly.

"How shameless! A person who forged files."

"How dare you work with us who got in through proper exams?"

"He was just talking back to Secretary Lin. I think he's just feeling guilty."

"Now that the truth is out, let's see what he's still proud of!"

When Lu Shujuan thought of Xiao Dongqing's handsome face, she felt uncomfortable.

She knew that many young colleagues in the unit secretly liked Xiao Dongqing.

Humph, he's just a sweet-talking liar.

How audacious it is to use fake files to sneak into the supply and marketing system!

Liang Zheng frowned and reminded her in a low voice.

"Comrade Lü Shujuan, the matter hasn't been thoroughly investigated yet, so please don't speak nonsense."

Lu Shujuan turned her head away in dissatisfaction.

"Liang Zheng, what do you mean? Isn't it obvious?"

"Secretary Qian just said that there's something wrong with Xiao Dongqing's file! What else are you trying to hide?"

"That's right! What's there to hide? There must be something wrong with him! And why aren't you allowed to talk about it?"

Chen Zhipeng puffed out his chest and loudly supported Lu Shujuan's words.

"You, you...Alas!"

Liang Zheng stamped his feet anxiously. These two guys!

Don’t they know that this concerns the reputation of No. 1 Department Store?

Now everyone is laughing at their jokes.

The colleagues from the second and third department stores looked at this side with curiosity, as if to say.

"Tell me more, tell me more!"

At this moment, Lin Hanqing, standing on the podium, looked at the chaos in the classroom with a dull look.

Everyone was speculating and discussing Xiao Dongqing's affairs, and the conference room was noisy.

No one was paying attention to the class, and Lin Hanqing lost the mood to continue teaching.

The meeting room was bustling with activity, but the atmosphere on Xiao Dongqing's side was unusually heavy.

He followed Secretary Qian upstairs and came to the personnel department.

As expected, as he opened the office door, Xiao Dongqing saw Manager You.

There was also Deputy Section Chief Zhai, who was frowning and tightly clutching the familiar letter of complaint.

Xiao Dongqing and Secretary Qian stood at the door, and Secretary Qian said angrily.

"Sister Zhai, I've brought the person here!"

After saying that, she glared at Xiao Dongqing fiercely, as if blaming him for causing trouble for her.

In the office, there were other people besides Deputy Section Chief Zhai and Manager You.

Other colleagues in the personnel department looked at Xiao Dongqing with inquiring eyes.

It seems to be saying, is this the young man who dared to forge his files to enter our unit?

Deputy Section Chief Zhai looked up and saw Xiao Dongqing. He sighed first and then spoke to the people around him.

"Everyone, do your job and keep your mouths shut."

"You are all veterans of the Human Resources Department. I don't want to hear a single word that shouldn't be spread."

Although Deputy Section Chief Zhai is currently only a deputy, the Section Chief is about to retire."

"She will be promoted to section chief as early as next month."

"She has an extremely high prestige within the department, and no one dares to disobey her orders."

"Only Secretary Qian, who had leaked the news, turned pale, while the others nodded in agreement.

After Deputy Section Chief Zhai finished speaking, he took Manager You and Xiao Dongqing out of the office.

While walking on the road, Deputy Section Chief Zhai said to Xiao Dongqing in a calm tone:

"You have to be mentally prepared for this."

"Falsification of records is no small matter."

"Our personnel department does not have sufficient authority to handle the issue of a regular employee."

"I need to report to my superiors. Whether you can stay depends on their decision."

Even though she is the deputy section chief, she is still responsible for handling such a sensitive matter as the falsification of records."

"Even if she wanted to help, she couldn't, because this wasn't just about Xiao Dongqing."

“It also involves her personal responsibility for work mistakes and lax review.

Xiao Dongqing felt the kindness of Deputy Section Chief Zhai.

He was not a heartless or ungrateful person, so he answered respectfully.

"Please rest assured, I know this incident has caused trouble for the personnel department."

He didn't say much, but Deputy Section Chief Zhai understood what he meant.

This is a consequence he caused himself and he will not let the department take responsibility.

He will bear all the responsibility alone in the face of the upcoming questioning.

Deputy Section Chief Zhai's lips moved slightly.

"..."

She understood and felt even more sympathy for the young man in front of her.

Manager You looked confused, nervous and uneasy.

It is completely unclear what the tacit dialogue between the two people means.

He couldn't help but nag at Xiao Dongqing who acted as if nothing had happened.

"Hey young man, there are so many good places to go, why do you have to jump into the fire pit?"

"What on earth are you trying to accomplish with all these tricks?"

"Deputy Section Chief Zhai and I didn't do anything, and yet you've got us all in big trouble."

"I've really put you in such a bad situation this time. Just wait for your scolding!"

He had finally gotten the position of deputy manager of the First Department Store after all these years, and one can imagine how hard it was.

This might have brought him back to the time before liberation, and the resentment in his heart was almost turning him into a shrew!

Xiao Dongqing didn't have time to respond.

Deputy Section Chief Zhai could no longer bear it and retorted in a bad tone.

"Deputy Manager You! It's already happened."

"We should all work together to find a solution. What's the point of blaming Xiao Xiao like this?"

"He is your subordinate, and you don't support him at a time like this."

"Instead of blaming others, is it appropriate for you to do so?"

Deputy Manager You widened his eyes and almost burst into anger.

"Support him? Support him?"

He looked at Deputy Section Chief Zhai who said this.

I wondered in my heart, is this guy also so angry that he has lost his mind?

Seeing his two superiors arguing over him, Xiao Dongqing touched his nose embarrassedly.

He spoke.

"Well... maybe the leader won't mind too much?"

Deputy Manager You stared at him as if he was looking at an innocent child.

"…You must be dreaming!"

Xiao Dongqing smiled awkwardly and said nothing more.

Deputy Manager You walked in front angrily.

Deputy Section Chief Zhai sighed and patted Xiao Dongqing's shoulder gently.

"Xiao Xiao, don't blame Lao You. He has always been cautious. To put it bluntly, he is a coward."

"When encountering something like this, he might be more nervous than you, the person involved!"

Xiao Dongqing blinked.
