When Tian Xiang met Chairman Jiang on the second floor, he had just finished reading the written report submitted by Lu Feng early in the morning.
The report detailed the relevant circumstances of last night.
Because of the dance event, he left the factory late, and when he went to Jiang Peiqin’s home to change the light bulb afterward, it was already past nine o’clock, which was late at night and caused a misunderstanding. It was his oversight, and he was willing to accept the organization’s criticism and review.
The report was well-written.
But...
Jiang Qin sighed and said to Tian Xiang, "Have a seat." Then she stood up to pour her a cup of tea.
Tian Xiang: "Chairman Jiang, don’t bother, I can’t drink it."
Jiang Qin chuckled, "Is it just because of Lu Feng’s matter?"
What do you mean just because?
Tian Xiang was surprised, "Chairman Jiang, you said it yourself back then, as long as you are here, no one dares to cover up for anyone! But what’s happening now? Do you really believe that Lu Feng only went to Widow Jiang’s house last night to change a light bulb for his partner?"
Jiang Qin returned to her desk, sitting up straight, "Comrade Tian Xiang, I know what you’re thinking. Actually, like everyone else, I don’t believe they’re together. But the man is unmarried, and the woman is single. If they insist on saying so, what can we do? Not to mention it was dark and nothing could be seen, even if they held and kissed each other in front of everyone, as long as there is this ’partner’ relationship, at most they would just get a couple of disapproving remarks from people, what else can we do to them? It’s a new society now; love and marriage are free."
Well, being partners has become a get-out-of-jail-free card.
Tian Xiang sneered, "So, I’ve come here for nothing. Whatever Lu Feng says goes, and you have no intention of investigating?"
This young lady is quite spirited despite her age.
Jiang Qin: "No need to rush. Mistakes are mistakes; the factory has already decided to revoke his ’Advanced Worker’ title. He has also written a review of what happened last night, and during the department meeting, I will have him publicly report it."
Department meeting?
That’s just a small meeting in the union office, what’s the use?
Tian Xiang stood up in exasperation, "Isn’t this covering up?"
Jiang Qin asked with a helpless smile, "Comrade Tian Xiang, why are you so concerned about Lu Feng’s matter?"
She had slapped him over the previous incident and refused to let it go, prompting Jiang Qin’s curiosity.
Tian Xiang laughed angrily, "Do I need a reason? I’m eliminating harm for the people! At the police station last time, I clearly told you that Lu Feng plays with the emotions of multiple women and engages in indiscriminate relationships. Chairman Jiang, you don’t know how cunning Lu Feng is, catching him in the act is not easy. Now, finally, there’s this incident, yet you handle it carelessly, that’s aiding and abetting the wrongdoer, don’t you know?"
Jiang Qin tapped her fingers lightly on the table, just as she was about to speak, Tian Xiang interrupted her.
"Chairman Jiang, don’t talk to me about evidence. I’m asking you if what happened last night is not evidence? Before last night, Lu Feng was an advanced worker, how his reputation on Red Fifth Street, how people view him, you’re his leader, you know better than I do. Yet this kind of person, he sneaked into a widow’s home at night! After the incident, he lied to deceive the organization, what kind of person do you think he is?"
Tian Xiang spoke earnestly.
Jiang Qin was silent.
After a while, she said, "Regarding this incident, Lu Feng has lost face, his reputation is ruined, and he was forced to be in a relationship with Jiang Peiqin; he’s already been punished accordingly."
After all that was said, apparently, my words fell on deaf ears.
Tian Xiang scoffed, "Fine, I’ve found the wrong person."
After saying that, Tian Xiang left.
Since the way through Chairman Jiang is blocked, she thought she might find Zeng Qingwen to see what he would say.
Jiang Qin called her back, "If you still want to find Announcer Zeng Qingwen, I advise you not to bother."
Tian Xiang halted, turning to glare at Jiang Qin.
Jiang Qin: "It’s impossible for Vice Factory Director Zeng to let such a scandal link to his daughter. Announcer Zeng has already secured the place for college admission recommended by our factory for next year, even Zeng herself does not want to be involved in such matters."
Tian Xiang was a little puzzled, how does Chairman Jiang know everything?
Jiang Qin explained, "Lu Feng is a member of the factory’s union. Last night, I went to the police station to inquire about the situation."
Last night, the boy who went to notify Wu Jinzhu shouted in the courtyard, and everyone who was asleep or not at the time heard it. Many people ran to the resettlement area to see what was happening, and as the highest leader of the factory union, Jiang Qin certainly had to go.
To shed the stigma of being the ’female lead’, Tian Xiang didn’t hide and even took the lead. Chairman Jiang quickly understood the case.
Chairman Jiang is a smart person, think seriously, make bold assumptions, and can quickly understand.
Tian Xiang nodded, "Fine, then I’ll leave now."
This time, she had oversimplified matters, but that didn’t matter, she would continue to work hard.
Jiang Qin sighed, "What’s with this child, why are you so impatient? I haven’t finished talking yet!"
Alright then!
Tian Xiang turned around, "Go on."
Jiang Qin: "Sit for a while first."
Tian Xiang sat down, frowning, very impatient.
Jiang Qin ignored her and took out a notebook to write something, even asking for the Tian Family’s specific address and whether she graduated from high school.
Tian Xiang: "What for?"
This person isn’t planning to visit her home, right?
Jiang Qin: "Just tell me, it’s a good thing."
Tian Xiang, half-suspecting and half-believing, reported it.
She has personal information, and her address wasn’t a secret. Even if she didn’t tell, Jiang Qin could find out by asking someone.
After a short while, Jiang Qin tore off what she wrote and handed it to Tian Xiang.
"Don’t miss nine o’clock the day after tomorrow morning."
Tian Xiang stepped forward to receive it, discovering it was a job recommendation letter. Jiang Qin actually recommended her to join the Mechanical Factory’s union.
This???
Tian Xiang looked stern, "You’re actually bribing me for Lu Feng?"
The protagonist’s charm is really this big?
The whole world is helping him!
Jiang Qin was stunned, then laughed heartily.
Tian Xiang frowned deeply.
Jiang Qin patted her face to stop laughing, "Comrade Tian Xiang, don’t misunderstand, I’m giving you an opportunity."
"Opportunity?"
Jiang Qin nodded, "Didn’t you say Lu Feng flaunts righteousness but indulges in promiscuous relationships? I’m giving you an opportunity to watch over him, to catch evidence of his wrongdoing."
Tian Xiang’s mind suddenly cleared, this was indeed the case, and the job issue was also resolved.
Tian Xiang: "Chairman Jiang, are you serious?"
Jiang Qin: "Yes. This is your opportunity, and also Lu Feng’s. You’ll both be in the same factory area in the future, his every move is under your eyes. If he really does those things, you’ll be able to catch the evidence. If he turns out to be good, after much interaction, you’ll be able to see his character clearly and wipe out the negative impression of him in your mind."
Tian Xiang thought, I wouldn’t be mistaken, things are evident to everyone, clearly written on their foreheads.
But she can see, others can’t, some things indeed need evidence.
Tian Xiang carefully kept the recommendation letter.
"Chairman Jiang, rest assured, I will not disappoint you."
