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

The corner of Shen Tao's mouth twitched. This guy was definitely here to mess with him and make things difficult for him. How could he sign such a shitty guarantee? If something went wrong, he would be in big trouble and he wouldn't be able to get rid of it. Before he could reply, other people also responded.

Shen Tao slammed the table and said angrily:

"What are you making such a fuss about? Do you still want to do this? I'm telling you very clearly, this is the county's decision, not me, Shen Tao, forcing you to do it."

"Director Shen!"

Zhong Yuemin said frankly,

"You can't take all the credit for yourself and leave the hard work to us subordinates. It's hard to convince everyone. I really can't do this anymore. I'm quitting the position of team leader. Go talk to Director Liu and have a new election for the Wangjiagou team leader."

Turn around and go out.

"Zhong Yuemin!"

Shen Tao was so angry that his balls hurt.

"Stop right there! Do you think elections are a joke? If you say you won't do it, then don't do it. That kind of work attitude is absolutely unacceptable."

"It's not that I don't want to do it, it's that I can't do it. Director Shen, if you do this, you'll have to split the members of Wangjiagou in half. I'm not Sun Wukong, I can't turn into so many monkeys. You take the credit, and we have to bear the blame. You can't bully people like this. I won't do this!"

Just leave.

Li Erpao from Lijiawan also stood up and made a lame excuse.

"Director Shen, a sow in our production team has given birth. I have to go back and take good care of her. I'll be leaving first."

"Director Shen, one of my production team's oxen is sick. It's a precious ox. I'm leaving first!"

"Director Shen..."

In the blink of an eye, most of them left, leaving only two or three confidants. Shen Tao threw the porcelain jar he had used for many years to the ground. The hot water he had just filled burned the confidant's feet, making him scream like a pig being slaughtered.

"A bunch of trash!"

I don't know if he was scolding his confidant or the bastards who just left, "You guys go too. Don't leave me without a single person."

Several confidants got up and left, complaining as soon as they left the house.

"Old Gao, Director Shen is really going too far. I think what Zhong Yuemin said makes sense. He takes the credit, and we bear the blame. This... after all, we've followed him for so many years, and what the hell have we gained from it?"

"Hmph, there's no one to help you. Anyway, I won't go out. I tell you, production will be delayed, and we won't be able to pay the public grain by the autumn harvest. Shen Tao won't be kind to us and will definitely force us to death."

"I won't go out either!"

Shen Tao returned to the office with a rage. His lackey Hong Guangliang came in, bowed and came to the desk, and said flatteringly:

"Director Shen, I heard the noise in the conference room just now. Is that brat Zhong Yuemin causing you trouble again?"

Shen Tao snorted coldly, lit a cigarette, and said:

"Guangliang, you're just in time. Please take a seat. I have something to discuss with you."

Hong Guangliang sat down and listened.

"That brat Zhong Yuemin is always against me. With him around, Captains Li Erpao, Hong Mazi, and the others are getting angry. I've lost all my authority as the director, and they've all given up. Do you have any good ideas?"

Hong Guangliang groaned inwardly. Putting aside everything else, let's just focus on the matter at hand. What a rotten job you, Shen Tao, have done! The Baiyashan Reservoir renovation project was originally coordinated by the county's Revolutionary Committee, with all the communes in the county rationally allocating resources and contributing manpower. Now, this work is solely the responsibility of Hongqi Commune. A lot of strong laborers have already been drawn from various brigades, and they're still drawing more. Are they going to ignore production? It's normal for the brigade leaders to complain and walk away from their responsibilities.

Euphemistically said:

"Director Shen, I think we need to strike a good balance between reservoir maintenance and brigade production, and give equal attention to both ends."

"You're talking nonsense. It's the same as if you didn't say anything. I asked you to find a solution, not to analyze it for me. If you can take care of both ends, why would I ask you?"

"Then inform the county committee of this situation. I believe the leaders will understand."

"Guangliang, no wonder you've been in the commune for so many years, never moving. Do you know why?"

Shen Tao hummed:

"When your leader assigns you a task, it's because you have to complete it on time and with guaranteed quality, not because you have to run to your leader every few days to complain, whine, and talk about your difficulties. If you do that, your leader will not only not sympathize with you, but will also think that you are incompetent. Your leader wants you to solve problems for him, not create them. If you can't do it, then get out. Do you understand?"

Deputy Director Zhang is in charge of this reservoir project. Do you think I should lead the charge and be the vanguard?"

Hong Guangliang nodded, feeling dissatisfied. "If we're really talking about seniority, you, Shen Tao, can only be my son. You just sold your body to marry a tomboy. That woman has a waist, thighs, and even a beard. You really can suppress her. If it weren't for your father-in-law looking after you, how could you, Shen Tao, become the director of the commune? Bullshit! You're even teaching him a lesson. It's okay to solve problems for the leaders, but someone like you, who obviously has no ability and can't control the situation, still wants to take on so much responsibility. Who can you blame?"

He's licking Deputy Director Zhang so much that he's almost getting close to his butt!

"Director Shen, Wangjiagou isn't just run by that brat Zhong Yuemin. We also have Wang Long, who can make the final decision. As long as Wangjiagou produces people, others like Li Erpao and Hong Mazi won't be a problem."

Shen Tao flicked the ash from his cigarette.

"Wang Long used to be a very arrogant man. He was the local tyrant in Wangjiagou and called the shots. Now he's being completely suppressed by this outsider, Zhong Yuemin. He doesn't even come to meetings anymore. That Wang Lang was sentenced to eight years in prison. I think the old guy is scared out of his wits."

"Director Shen, you're wrong. Wang Long is definitely not a coward. I guess he's just waiting for the right moment to take care of that brat Zhong Yuemin."

"Then go tell him to make sure we get everyone together. Tell him that you, Wang Long, I, Shen Tao, and Deputy Director Zhang Rongping are all in this together. If we don't contribute now, we'll all be in trouble later."

"Okay, I'll go there in a moment," Hong Guangliang nodded.

"Director Shen, there's something else. I...well, I don't know if I should tell you this or not."

"what's up?"

"Maybe I'm overthinking it. Just take it as an insult and don't take it to heart."

"Why are you so slow? Speak!"

"The commune has been training its militia these days. All the basic militiamen from the commune have come here and are staying at the commune at night. That Wang Hu has also come here."

Hong Guangliang said:

"I didn't go home last night. I stayed in the dormitory. When I got up to relieve myself, I saw Wang Hu enter Liu Hong's dormitory. It seems he never came out."

"Did you read that correctly?"

"I can be wrong. It's definitely him. Maybe Wang Hu is looking for someone for other things. It doesn't have to be..."

"Do you even believe that? Going to the women's dormitory in the middle of the night to learn how to shoot? Fuck!"

Shen Tao pressed the cigarette butt hard into the ashtray.

"You are so good, Wang Hu, you are playing with women and you are bringing trouble to me." Although Liu Hong is only his mistress, she is also his woman. She cheated with other men behind his back and slapped him in the face.

"Have you told anyone about this?"

"no!"

"Shut your mouth tightly!"
