The leader is my girlfriend

Chapter 225: Cheng Family and Son (Part 2)

However, Cheng Guodong didn't notice how everyone looked at him, and continued to speak angrily,

"Humph, in the countryside, she got married without saying a word, and she even had the nerve to write a letter home. Isn't it obvious that she wants a dowry? Don't you take a piss and look at yourself? She's already worthless, and she still fantasizes that my parents will give her money? It's just a foolish dream, what are you thinking!"

After saying that, he spat fiercely on the ground, then raised his foot and rubbed it hard with the sole of his shoe a few times, as if to vent all the dissatisfaction in his heart.

At this time, someone nearby echoed, "Since you all don't care about her, it's normal for her to get married."

Unexpectedly, these words ignited Cheng Guodong's anger. He widened his eyes and his voice became louder and louder.

"what do you know?"

Cheng Guodong became more and more excited as he spoke.

"My mother tried every possible way to get her back and even found her a good man who was willing to pay 588 yuan as a betrothal gift! With that money, I could have bought a bicycle, and when I got married, I could have added a sewing machine and a radio. But she ruined everything!"

Hearing this, the others opened their mouths in surprise, "588 yuan? Oh my god, who is so awesome?"

Cheng Guodong replied proudly, "It's the old Hou from Xiangyang Street."

"Xiangyang Street? Lao Hou?" The colleague looked confused.

(Lao Hou’s surname is not actually Hou, and no one knows what his real name is. It’s just that because he has a pointed face and monkey-like appearance, he looks exactly like a monkey, so people nicknamed him ‘Lao Hou’. Over time, everyone thought his surname was Hou.)

A colleague recalled, "That dung collector? I heard he's in his forties, and a widower."

"So what?" Cheng Guodong didn't care. He didn't care about that. As long as the betrothal gift was high, the other party would be a good brother-in-law.

"She's rich and a regular employee. She's just a little girl, why should she be so picky? Just do whatever she's told to do. A few days ago, she even had someone call home, crying and yelling that she was dying. Humph, no one would believe that. If she had the money for the phone call, why not buy something and mail it back?"

Hearing this, a colleague couldn't help but frown, "What if... your sister is really dying?"

Cheng Guodong sneered and replied with disdain,

"If she wants to die, let her die. It's best if she dies outside. Don't come back, lest she be contaminated by bad luck. Didn't I hear from her again after my mom scolded her severely last time? In the final analysis, she just wants to cheat some money from our family. Can't we see through this little trick?"

The colleague sighed and tried to persuade her, "If your sister hasn't asked her family for money before, then suddenly asking for money... she must be in trouble."

Cheng Guodong was not moved at all and still insisted on his own opinion.

"That's even more impossible. My mother has always said that once a woman gets married, she has nothing to do with her parents' family. She has to consider her husband's family in everything. She married a peasant in the countryside, so she must have been thinking of taking some things from us to support her husband's family. We won't be fooled by her. How can we let her deceive us? She doesn't even consider her own worth."

At this moment, a string of people were eavesdropping at the back door of the warehouse...

My colleague really admired their family. "Your family is really smart, but when your sister went to the countryside, did your family really not give her anything?"

Cheng Guodong raised his eyebrows. Why are there so many questions? One after another, endlessly.

Seeing his impatient expression, his colleague quickly took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to him. In consideration of the cigarette, Cheng Guodong chose to answer him again reluctantly.

"Give her what? Isn't this giving her a way out? Responding to the Communist Party's call to go to the countryside to engage in construction is such a great mission. They're so kind to her, giving her a chance to perform well. If she doesn't seize it, who can she blame?"

"It's her own bad luck." The male colleague who asked the question remembered the words on the big-character poster - Yan Zi doesn't blame her bad fate, but she has to live up to her promise.

With family members like this, whoever gets involved will be unlucky, and he will go crazy if he gets involved. Oh, let's not talk about it anymore. I will have angina pectoris if I continue talking about it. It's not worth it to get angry about such people.

[Office of Deputy Director Cheng]

Fortunately, his secretary Xiao Xu understood him (he knew his habits and needs very well). When he led three people to the cafeteria for lunch, Xiao Xu returned to the office early, put away his half-eaten canned peaches and hawthorns, and helped him tidy up the camp bed for his nap. The office looked very tidy at this moment.

As soon as the group stepped into the office, Liu Miaomiao took out her camera and expressed her wish to take a photo of Deputy Director Cheng at his workstation. After all, it was not convenient to disclose the victim's photo to the public, but the image of a leader who was impartial and just like Bao Qingtian could be established!

Just like that, under the watchful eyes of the two reporters, Deputy Director Cheng showed his selfless side with righteous words, saying that he would get to the bottom of the matter and would never tolerate it.

In fact, in the past, such things as replacing people with replacements or replacing people who had been sent to the countryside had happened frequently in the factory. It wasn't just a common practice, it was commonplace, and everyone knew it. But this time, the situation was different. First, the oppression suffered by the replaced people was too severe. Second, the matter had become a hot topic, and a solution was necessary. If it wasn't handled properly, it would have immeasurable negative consequences.

So, just now when he was having breakfast in the cafeteria, Deputy Director Cheng wanted to get a feel for the situation in advance, so he asked quietly,

"Comrade Yan Zi, how did you come up with the idea of ​​putting up a big-character poster in front of the cannery?"

Cheng Yanzi quickly swallowed the bun in her mouth, picked up the bowl and drank a mouthful of porridge. After a short pause, she hurriedly spoke,

“At the time, I was thinking, since there was no one around who could handle this matter, I had to find someone who would not be biased towards them and who was capable of doing justice for me.

If going to the factory leaders doesn't help, my next step will be to go to the trade union and the Women's Affairs Office. If they still can't solve the problem, I'll just go to Tiananmen Square. I don't want to keep giving in like this. I've finally survived, and I have to fight for my own dignity."

Hearing this, Deputy Director Cheng on the opposite side quickly responded, "Okay, don't worry, I will definitely do my best to properly resolve this matter for you."

Is it okay to leave it unresolved? Right now, this matter is confined to the factory, so it's not too embarrassing. But if it gets to the point where he needs to ask the union and the Women's Office for help, it won't just be embarrassing within the factory, it will be humiliating beyond measure. And if it gets to the point where he complains to the higher-ups, even if it's not embarrassing, it's going to be far more serious, and his career path might even come to a screeching halt.

So, no matter what, he had to resolve this matter thoroughly. Especially now that the reporters were here, he could turn a potentially negative incident into something positive. After all, he hadn't been involved in the mess back then, so he couldn't refuse this free gift. Being a good person and doing good things meant good things would bring good things, so why not do it?

Before her brother-in-law joined the factory, her sister had already investigated everything. What did she say then? This Deputy Director Cheng rose to prominence thanks to his wife's family. He doesn't have much actual ability and is a bit lazy and slippery, but he mainly listens to advice and wants to save face. Now, for the sake of face, look how proactive he is.

Deputy Director Cheng really had no right to interfere in how the Youth League Office arranged the going to the countryside, but the procedural problems in the cannery had to be clarified and resolved. After realizing this, Director Zhang of the Human Resources Department did not dare to delay for a moment and hurried back to the office to conduct an in-depth investigation.

What was the list of admitted students that year, and what position at the cannery did Cheng Yanzi get admitted to? We must get rid of this blame as soon as possible!
