Bloody Romance: I, the big troublemaker, Zhong Yuemin!

"Zhong Yuemin, you're quite courageous. You dared to bribe voters in front of Director Liu? Do you think this is child's play? Your issue will be dealt with later. Your eligibility to run for election has been revoked. Based on the number of votes, Wang Hu is the first place. I think the position of team leader should be held by Wang Hu."

"Deputy Director Zhang!"

Especially the word "deputy" was deliberately lengthened. This guy was a good at smoothing things over. Not only did he remove Liu Ming's position as captain in a few words, but he also directly let Wang Hu take the position. He didn't take Liu Ming seriously at all.

"I sent some flour and rice simply because I was new here and didn't know anything, nor could I do any work. Thanks to the help, support, and encouragement from the members, I wanted to thank them. Vote bribery? That's totally irrelevant."

"Zhong Yuemin, don't quibble. Do you dare to say that this isn't for votes?"

"Okay, I said it's useless. You tell the members whether I asked them to canvass for votes for me."

Wang Hu immediately pointed at several members in the audience and said, "Tell me, if you dare to lie to me, I want you to... speak!"

"Captain Wang, I accepted flour from Xiao Zhong, but no one ever asked me to vote for him. When he first went to the countryside, he didn't know how to fetch water, so I helped him carry water to the educated youth site. People thought well of me. Besides, it was you I just voted for. If you say that, I feel sorry for Xiao Zhong."

"I voted for you too. This good person didn't get any good rewards, and now you blame me instead."

"..."

Wang Hu was furious. How dare these unruly people confront him in person? Just because Zhong Yuemin showed up? Actually, this had little to do with Zhong Yuemin. The villagers of Wangjiagou had been oppressed for too long and were about to reach a breaking point. Zhong Yuemin was the spark that detonated the fire. With him speaking out, everyone naturally supported him. The key point was that they were canvassing for votes without intimidation, coercion, or beatings. They even gave him flour and rice, tangible benefits. How much better than the Wang family's tyranny and barbarity!

You bully me, scold me, and beat me, and I still support you. Am I that despicable?

Zhong Yuemin said calmly:

"Deputy Director Zhang, I got more than fifty votes than Wang Hu, which means I belong to more than fifty households. If I really wanted to bribe the voters, where would I get so much flour and rice? This is nonsense. I don't mean to slander Secretary Wang. Look at our Wangjiagou Commune. Half of the branch committee members and full-time cadres are from Secretary Wang's family. I was elected as the team leader with a high vote, but you say I bribed the voters. Then I want to ask, is the Wangjiagou Brigade under the leadership of the County Revolutionary Committee or the Wang family?

Deputy Director Zhang, can you give me an answer?"

Zhang Rongping felt so aggrieved. He was a deputy director, but he was being bullied by a little brat. He had a lot of strength but couldn't use it. He couldn't exert any strength and his mouth was crooked with anger.

Liu Ming was smiling at this moment, and finally spoke,

"I think Comrade Xiao Zhong is the popular choice, very popular among the people, young and courageous. Very good, Deputy Director Zhang, Comrade Zhong Yuemin will be the captain of the Wangjiagou Brigade. Do you have any objection?"

Zhang Rongping's face looked as if he had eaten shit, he was extremely unwilling to accept it, but the overall situation was already decided.

"Just as Director Liu said!" He turned around and left angrily.

"Xiao Shen!" Liu Ming said to Shen Tao beside him, "Complete the formalities for Zhong Yuemin's appointment as soon as possible. There must be no delay."

Shen Tao nodded in response. You, Zhang Rongping, dare to give Liu Ming a cold shoulder. He, a small commune director, would never dare to do that. The election was over and everyone dispersed. Zhong Yuemin was called aside by Liu Ming. He just looked at him without saying a word. He touched his cheek.

"Director Liu, is my face dirty? If it is, I'll go wash it."

Liu Ming smiled and said, "Not dirty, quite clean, Yuemin." He changed the name.

"I am the director of the Revolutionary Committee after all, and you don't seem afraid of me at all."

"Director Liu, you're our father and mother, and you're concerned about our livelihoods. Why should I be afraid of you? To be completely disrespectful, I've met plenty of high-ranking officials in Beijing, and a director isn't enough to frighten me."

"I forgot about that. I heard Lao Ma talk about you. You are a child of a wealthy family, and your father is a ministerial-level leader. Indeed, I am the director of the Revolutionary Committee, a small official, and I am really not worthy of your attention."

"Director Liu, I dare not say that. My father is in there now. He is worse than the ordinary people. Otherwise, do you think I would come to this rural area to join the team? I am just a farmer now, a soldier under your command. From now on, Wangjiagou will obey Director Liu's instructions. If you say east, we will never go west. If you say attack south, we will definitely not attack north. There is no need for him to tell me the intention of looking for him. He must be trying to win him over. I don't get along with the Wang family, Zhang Rongping, and Shen Tao. We are sworn enemies. So what are you hesitating about? Hurry and hold on to this thigh tightly, find a backer, and we will advance and retreat together."

Liu Ming nodded, very satisfied with this clear-cut statement, and patted him on the shoulder.

"Okay, young and promising. I hope you can make a career in Wangjiagou. I have high hopes for you. If you have any problems in the future, you can come to the county committee to find me. Last time you came to the county committee and blocked the door. I think you must know where my office is."

Zhong Yuemin laughed awkwardly. This guy is quite vindictive.

"Okay, Director Liu!"

Liu Ming returned to the GAZ-V, got into the back seat, and asked his secretary, "Where's Deputy Director Zhang?"

The secretary said:

"He said he had a stomachache and went to the toilet near the brigade headquarters."

Liu Ming snorted coldly, "A lazy donkey will poop and pee when it gets on the millstone. Wait a minute!"

Just as the voice fell, a man came out from the brigade yard not far away. It was Wang Bao, in a hurry.

"Help, help! Director Zhang has fallen into the cesspool. Help!"

It turned out that just a few minutes ago, Zhang Rongping, who was full of anger, suddenly had a stomachache and diarrhea. Wang Bao hurriedly took him to the outhouse of the brigade. It was unfortunate for Zhang Rongping because the outhouse had just been cleaned out during the day. The members were careless and the cover of the pit had not been restored. In addition, it was dark inside and he was in a hurry. When he entered, he had not even had time to untie his belt and stepped on empty air.

"Boom!"

Shit and urine flying everywhere,

A few minutes later, Deputy Director Zhang was fished out. He was covered in yellow feces and emitting a foul odor. He vomited, "Ugh!" It was all feces and urine. How much of it had he taken? He was dazed. It was like a "mobile cesspool." He definitely couldn't ride in the car, or else he'd have to give it up. He had to get a donkey cart and rush him to the commune clinic.

The next day, Deputy Director Zhang's "glorious deeds" spread throughout the agency, and he got a nickname, "Zhang Fenteng"!

Zhong Yuemin became the team leader. In the past, the members called him Zhong Yuemin, Yuemin, and Xiao Zhong. Now they still call him Team Leader Zhong, which makes him a little uncomfortable. On the surface, the team leader's work is not much and not heavy. He doesn't have to do any work himself. As a full-time cadre, he only needs to be responsible for coordinating the production work of the four brigades, not delaying the crops in the fields, and ensuring a good harvest in the autumn. That's all.

But when you really try it yourself, it’s completely different!
