Farewell to Paradise
Xiao Fengxia's father's condition had greatly improved. After everything at home was arranged, she packed her luggage and prepared to return to the city. Before she left, Feng Xia felt that she should bid farewell to her old classmate, Zhao Dehai.
She walked to the door of the village committee office and saw that Zhao Dehai was burying his head in his book, so he immediately turned around and was about to leave, but Zhao Dehai accidentally discovered him.
"Old classmate, since you're already here, why did you leave without saying goodbye?”Zhao Dehai continued," I don't eat people. Why don't you come in and have a seat?"”
"You don't eat people?" Feng Xia immediately teased. Come on, I think you really look like a demon king who eats people without spitting out the bones!”
"Am I that scary? It's not that bad, right?" Zhao Dehai said casually.
"Now, it's not that bad. Who knows what you'll be like once your wings grow hard? I've heard others say that a prefect would be purged in three years, and he even had to pay 100,000 snowflake silver!”
"Alright, stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and come in.”
"Let's go in. Do you think I'll really let you down? At least I've seen a little of the world. I'm not as timid as a mouse, right?”
Feng Xia entered Zhao Dehai's office. Zhao Dehai was the host, so it was reasonable for him to brew a cup of hot tea for Feng Xia.
"Clerk, are you busy writing a secret document?" asked Feng Xia.”
"What secret document do I need to write? I have no secrets here. I'm drafting a five-year development plan for Taoyuan Village. Not only is there no secret, but once it's discussed and approved by the higher-ups, I have to publicize it with great fanfare. You came at the right time today. I still want to hear your old classmate's opinion on some of the contents.”
Feng Xia continued," This is all your official script. Firstly, I don't have the skill. Secondly, I don't have the time for this!" I came here today to say goodbye to you, but tomorrow, I'll be leaving home.”
"Are you really leaving tomorrow?"
"Do I need your approval?”
"That's not it." Zhao Dehai said," If you can stay at home for a few more days, I'll listen to your opinions after I write the development plan. No matter what, you are still a villager of Taoyuan Village.”
"Alright, enough of this pompous nonsense. I'd better be sensible and leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.”
"Old classmate, what's wrong with you today? Could it be that my place has also become a place of trouble?”
"Yes, I am!" Feng Xia continued," You see, we're a single man and a single woman. If others see us, they'll definitely gossip about us.”
"What are you worried about?" Zhao Dehai said," In broad daylight, the door of my office is open. We do what we do and sit upright. We are not afraid of shadows. If others say anything, let them say it. I don't believe that!”
At this moment, someone outside the house suddenly shouted,"Secretary Zhao, someone is looking for you!”
Zhao Dehai looked outside the house. It was none other than Luo Houde, the accountant of the village committee, and two old acquaintances of the County Discipline Inspection Committee. He couldn't help but find it strange,[Why did the County Discipline Inspection Committee suddenly think of such a poor mountain village?] He really couldn't understand! Since they were here, he should invite them to the house first. "Director Zhang, Officer Wang, come and sit in the house!"”
After Director Zhang and Secretary Wang entered the office, Luo Houde, the accountant of the village committee, said,""Two county leaders, there's nothing else for me to do here. I'll leave now!”Before anyone could answer, he tactfully left.
At this moment, Director Zhang of the County Discipline Inspection Committee said,"Comrade Zhao Dehai, if I'm not wrong, this lady should be Xiao Fengxia, right?”
"Yes, Director Zhang."
"It seems that the public's report is indeed well-founded," Director Zhang said casually.”
Dehai Zhao immediately understood what Director Zhang meant. "Director Zhang, what did the public report about me?" he asked immediately. Even if the public reports me, this has nothing to do with Xiao Fengxia!”
Then, Zhao Dehai quickly handed the draft of the Taoyuan Village Five-Year Development Plan to Director Zhang and said,"Today, Xiao Fengxia came here to look for me."After all, she's a villager of Taoyuan Village, so I asked her to stay. I was just about to hear her opinion when you guys came.”
"Comrade Zhao Dehai," Director Zhang continued,"if you want to discuss the development plan of Taoyuan Village, you should also gather the members of the village committee to discuss it! Besides, there are many villagers in Taoyuan Village. Why didn't you find anyone else but Xiao Fengxia?”
Zhao Dehai wanted to explain further, but Director Zhang did not give him the chance. He continued,"That's good too. We don't have to find someone else to inform Xiao Fengxia. Since Xiao Fengxia is here, I think we should do this: Xiao Wang, take Xiao Fengxia to another room to talk to her. I'll stay here and talk to Zhao Dehai on behalf of the county disciplinary committee.”
Officer Wang from the County Discipline Inspection Committee took Xiao Fengxia to another empty room. Only Director Zhang from the County Discipline Inspection Committee and the new village official, Zhao Dehai, were left in the office.
"Little Zhao, I'll just call you Little Zhao.”Director Zhang said," Right now, I'm just representing the County Discipline Inspection Committee to talk to you. You don't have to be nervous, and you don't have to worry about anything. Just answer whatever I ask you and insist on seeking the truth. The organization had indeed received a report from the masses. The report from the masses might not be the truth. The organization had not given you any confirmation. Since the masses have some reactions, the organization will naturally not ignore it. However, all conclusions are after investigation and research. Therefore, I have repeatedly stated to you that you must not have any misgivings. Do you understand?”
"I understand, Director Zhang. I believe in the organization.”
"Ah! That's right!" Director Zhang continued,"The main problem that the public reported is mainly about the style of men and women. Of course, I don't have to tell you the details. Now, tell me what you've done since you came to Taoyuan Village."”
" Director Zhang," Dehai Zhao immediately said," To be honest, I've always been very careful in this aspect. How did such a problem suddenly appear?"”
"Well, you can only ask yourself! You can't force me to tell you everything I know about the organization, right? If that's the case, how can you still have the chance to take the initiative? Little Zhao, don't beat around the bush. Just say what you have to say. You're a young man. Let's have some fun, okay?”
"Director Zhang, when it comes to matters between men and women, I really didn't go against my principles.”
"Xiao Zhao! Don't close the door too early or you'll be in a very passive position!”Director Zhang paused for a moment before continuing," You should think about it calmly first.”
After Director Zhao finished speaking, he immediately went to another room to see Officer Wang's inquiry. He could tell that the situation was exactly the same as his side, and he did not get anything out of it.
Then, Director Zhang called Officer Wang to another quiet place. The two of them immediately discussed how to report the situation to their superiors.
"Director, I think we're still a step behind in this matter," said Officer Wang. They weren't discussing development plans today. This simply couldn't be justified! This is clearly an alliance. Therefore, both sides have unified their statements and refused to admit it. Naturally, we can't get anything out of them.”
'Little Wang, we've seen all this with our own eyes. There's no need to talk about it anymore. Tell us your opinion first. What should we do now?”
"Director, you're my superior. You should make the decision.”
"Hey, that's not right. The final decision is naturally made by me. I'm just training you. I want you to train more and use your brain more!”
"Thank you, Director! In my opinion, the abnormal behavior between them is completely possible to a large extent.
First, there are so many photos of the crime scene in the report. I've already gotten someone to appraise them. Those photos are definitely real. They haven't been processed or synthesized.
"Secondly, from what we saw just now, it further proves that their relationship is extraordinary.
Thirdly, Zhao Dehai's excuse just now was groundless. It was obvious that he was covering up a substantial problem.
Fourthly, Xiao Fengxia was not a woman who made a proper living.
According to a comprehensive analysis of these few points, this matter was most likely true! Therefore, I think that we can report directly to the higher-ups now. Just say that they refuse to explain the substantial issues. Let's see what the higher-ups decide.”
"Little Wang! It seems that I really didn't misjudge you. You are indeed a good seedling with a good future. Now, I will report to my superiors.”
Director Zhang immediately reported the results of his research with Officer Wang to his superiors. Not long after, the higher-ups replied,
"Zhao Dehai will be suspended immediately. Xiao Fengxia should be sent home for the time being, and he would explain the situation to him when needed. The work of the village committee was first decided by the village and appointed temporarily. He would make a decision after Zhao Dehai's matter was settled.”
Just like that, Zhao Dehai was taken away from Taoyuan Village by the county disciplinary committee before he could finish drafting the five-year development plan.
Xiao Fengxia walked home sullenly, full of regret." I really took the wrong medicine today. Why do I have to do this? Why do I have to say goodbye to Zhao Dehai? He was really asking for trouble!
The next day, Xiao Fengxia packed her luggage and said goodbye to the Taoyuan Village.
A few days later, the village appointed Luo Houde, the accountant of the village council, to act as the village chief temporarily. Yu Jide, the deputy head of the village who lived in the village, also served as the village secretary.
After that, Luo Houde and his gang naturally wanted to find a place to celebrate in secret. They were so proud of themselves. (This volume is over. Please continue to pay attention to the second volume.）
