Chapter 139: Chapter 139 The Mighty Old Mr. Ji_1

Song Yunuan thought, her younger brother had two yuan in his hand.

Well, that wasn’t too little.

In an era where many prices were in cents or tenths of yuan, purchasing power was quite strong.

Song Yunuan took Song Mingsheng to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Meanwhile, Third Child Xia got off the train with Chu Zizhou.

Standing in front of the Nanshan train station, Third Child Xia looked disdainfully at the decrepit and desolate scenery of the nearby and distant small county town, his mouth curling in contempt.

What a backwater.

He had called Du Zhenhai in advance, and now, he should be coming to pick him up.

Why is there still no sign of him?

Chu Zizhou, of course, was unaware of the relationship between Third Child Xia and the Song family, and his jeep was parked right at the station.

It wasn’t exactly a rush to get home.

But suddenly, he felt a hint of responsibility.

Passing by Third Child Xia, Chu Zizhou glanced at him in surprise. The Xia Xiangqian, who bragged the whole journey in the sleeper car, actually got off at Nanshan?

His older brother is Xia Bowen.

Soon to be the chairman of a joint venture company.

But Xia Xiangqian probably didn’t know yet.

Otherwise, he would have boasted about that too.

Chu Zizhou walked on without a sideways glance.

Third Child Xia’s face was gloomy as he kept checking his watch.

Half an hour had passed, the station was deserted, and Du Zhenhai still hadn’t come to pick him up.

Third Child Xia, grinding his teeth in frustration, had no choice but to grab his briefcase and, after smoothing back his slick hair, strutted over to a tricycle driver, commanding arrogantly, "Take me to the county town guesthouse, to that small guesthouse, and be quick. What are you dawdling for? And your tricycle is so dirty, it really shows this is a small place. It can’t compare to Beidu at all."

Nowadays, the tricycle drivers were actually managed by the public bus transportation company.

Some were temporary workers, while others were official employees.

Seeing his behavior, the driver said, "I’m waiting for someone."

Then he added kindly, "The small guesthouse is quite close from here. Just go straight down this road, and you’ll reach it soon."

Having said that, he pedaled away on his tricycle.

After he left, there were no more tricycles around.

So, Third Child Xia, fuming, had to grab his briefcase and head towards the small guesthouse in the direction pointed out by the driver.

As he walked, he cursed Zhu Feng in his heart.

Why the hell are you messing with the Xia family’s stuff?

Shameless. My older brother doesn’t even want you anymore; you’re no longer part of the Xia family.

To think he had to leave the bustling warmth of Beidu for such a hick town.

And that guy just now, what was his attitude?

Truly, a lousy place breeds lousy people.

Third Child Xia grumbled as he walked.

Today the sun was a bit scorching, and soon his head was full of sweat.

He kept cursing as he walked,

one moment about Zhu Feng, the next about Shangguan Yunqi, but most of all about Du Zhenhai.

At that moment, in the guesthouse meeting room, a group of people with serious expressions were seated.

And opposite them were Du Zhenhai and Director Niu.

The county’s relevant department had received a letter.

The letter was a complaint against Old Niu.

It alleged that he failed to account for precious food ingredients, claiming the ***** items for himself.

And they accused him of something with a person named Song Yunuan.

Then they bought her family’s shepherd’s purse, scheming to profit for the Song family.

Deputy County Mayor Zhao was also there.

Since Deputy County Mayor Zhao was exactly the one in charge of this matter, his eyebrows twitched severely at the sight of the name Song Yunuan.

They said the Song family, just to sell some shepherd’s purse, let Old Niu do this and that, and even mentioned Song Yunuan, which is simply preposterous.

Not to mention if he had any sense, even without it, he wouldn’t believe such nonsense.

This is pure slander.

Old Niu is an honest person, who works diligently, and everyone has seen it with their own eyes.

However, it is Old Du who, depending on his connections in Beidu, sometimes doesn’t even take them seriously.

Then there is Old Ho.

He just happens to know about this matter.

How outrageous it is to dare to tarnish Song Yunuan’s reputation?

The person who wrote this letter has sinister motives; we must uncover him.

The other concern is the relevant departments.

The letter is right here, written with the left hand, clearly to prevent anyone from identifying the writer.

Now that Du Zhenhai has become the general manager, seeing so many leaders present, he assumed they were there to investigate Director Niu.

Then he saw Old Mr. Ji and was stunned for a moment. Why had Old Master Ji come?

He naturally recognized Old Mr. Ji.

Currently, everyone knows Old Mr. Ji is in Nanshan County Town.

Shangguan Yunqi, whom he calls cousin, also told him to take the opportunity to get close to Old Mr. Ji.

But now was not the time to exchange pleasantries with Old Mr. Ji.

Du Zhenhai pretended to glance at the complaint letter, and pompously said, "Although Director Niu’s work attitude is very earnest, I have been out studying for a month and only returned recently, unaware of many things.

I have heard complaints that he bought wild vegetables from a farmer surnamed Song at high prices, all of which ended up rotting because they couldn’t be consumed, or he forced them on the staff as benefits.

Each time, it was that family’s grandfather and granddaughter who delivered them. The complaint letter mentions an improper male-female relationship, and that’s also difficult to say.

If there really is an issue, then we must conduct a thorough investigation; we can’t let such scum tarnish the reputation of the Nanshan County Town Guesthouse.

As for precious ingredients, none were recorded after their arrival. Despite my urging several times, they still haven’t been recorded, so there must be a problem. Old Niu, you better come clean and hope for lenient treatment, otherwise, nobody can save you!"

Old Niu was so angry that his face turned ashen. Fortunately, he had prepared in advance, otherwise, he would have been truly speechless.

The complaint letter was received yesterday, and that very night, he was found by these people in a small office.

Afterward, they discussed it.

And that led to the current situation.

Director Niu said, "You have to have a conscience when you speak and evidence when you act. Du Zhenhai, tell me who this ’someone’ is?

Moreover, who says the ingredients weren’t recorded? I have already accounted for them.

You can invite the relevant departments to review my records, and as for the purchase of shepherd’s purse, everything is properly documented."

Old Mr. Ji, who had been quiet up to that point, got angry.

Something came up on his side, and he hadn’t had the chance to deal with Du Zhenhai before Director Niu was reported.

Crap, reporting Director Niu is one thing, but how dare they drag Little Nuan into it.

It’s obvious, it’s targeted against Little Nuan and the Song family.

What does your Xia family’s trash have to do with my Little Nuan? Using a young girl as a scapegoat, wait till I get back to Beidu, I will ask Shangguan Yunqi in person.

One by one, they’ve had it good for too long, do they no longer remember who they are?

In the old days, the Shangguan family was a heartless capitalist clan.

If she hadn’t married Xia Bowen, they would have been dealt with long ago.

All of a sudden, Old Mr. Ji stood up, slamming the table, growing impatient, "What’s to ask, what’s to investigate? Quit dawdling!"

Afterward, Old Mr. Ji pointed to Du Zhenhai, "Before I speak to you, let me tell you something, Song Yunuan is my granddaughter, and I am her second grandfather. Any bastard that dares to slander her, once I find out, will not get off lightly!!!"
