Chapter 567: Chapter 566: Listen to Dad’s Words

When the walls fell, everyone was ready to shove.

Lin Nianhe felt it was his duty to heed Comrade Old Lin’s teaching—to always unite and follow in the steps of his comrades... and help push this wall down.

"Uncle Wong, did you miss me?"

That evening, after class, Lin Nianhe went straight to Wong Xiao’s office, bringing along a bag of hazelnuts harvested last fall.

Seeing Lin Nianhe, Wong Xiao couldn’t help but smile, fearing the term ’uncle’ might just fall to the ground, he quickly responded: "Missed you, missed you. Have you rested up these past days?"

"Much better, you also look rejuvenated. Oh, look, seems like you’ve got some black hair now." Lin Nianhe’s keen eyes spotted a bit of black amidst the white.

"That’s right, feeling refreshed and even the hair’s turned black again." Wong Xiao tousled his hair and poured a glass of water for Lin Nianhe before asking, "So, what’s up? Let’s skip the pleasantries between us."

"Hehe," Lin Nianhe gave a genuinely sincere smile, "I’m not just making pleasantries, I really missed you. Last night, I even dreamt about you and my aunt."

Wong Xiao laughed, his mouth wide, completely forgetting how just a few days ago Xiao Lin would turn and walk away as if he had seen a plague when he encountered him.

"Uncle Wong, I have a question—the matter about the textile factory’s branch, have you reported it to the city?"

"Reported it long ago," Wong Xiao gloated, "The city leadership was very happy, the big boss immediately offered me several plots to choose from, I managed to temporarily decline and planned to discuss it further with Uncle Jih."

"Then... maybe you and Uncle Jih could discuss it a bit longer?"

"What do you mean?"

Lin Nianhe smiled innocently and harmlessly, detailing today’s events.

Listening, Wong Xiao’s brow furrowed.

If it were any other matter, Wong Xiao wouldn’t consider using the textile factory’s development as a bargaining chip, but it concerned Old Dog Shi...

"Let’s do it!"

Wong Xiao’s eyes burned with resentment, his fists cracking with anger: "Before the New Year, Sun Jun told me and Old Feng that Shi Dongshan’s girl had spilled some of Old Dog Shi’s beans. We had hoped to get him ousted, but then it just fizzled out... Was it just to put on a show for him? I’m all too good at this game!"

Shi Dongshan only knew scraps about what her father had done, some of which she even remembered wrongly. Following the leads given by Shi Dongshan, Sun Jun investigated for half a year only to hit dead ends.

Not to mention pulling Shi Chengkun down from his horse, they couldn’t even manage to give him a light, trivial disciplinary action. Consequently, Feng Yuanshan’s cousin Huang Aihua remained unpublishable.

While Wong Xiao was still fuming, the telephone on the table rang.

He instinctively reached for the receiver. As the call connected, he paused in surprise, then suddenly turned his wrist and handed the receiver to Lin Nianhe.

Wong Xiao winked and gestured to Lin Nianhe, the other hand quickly searching for draft paper and a pen.

No need for Wong Xiao to remind her again, Lin Nianhe chuckled and picked up the phone, replying very formally, "Hello, may I ask who you are looking for?"

The person on the other end clearly hesitated for a moment, then asked hesitantly: "I’m looking for Wong Xiao, is he not there?"

Lin Nianhe countered with a question without answering: "May I ask who is speaking?"

"I’m from the municipal office, my name is Xie Chongli."

Wong Xiao was crouched by the phone when he heard the name, he immediately mouthed to Lin Nianhe: Big—Lead—er—

Lin Nianhe nodded at him and said right away: "Oh, it’s the leader, I’m terribly sorry, Mr. Wong isn’t here right now, there’s an emergency situation that he absolutely must attend to. How about you tell me what’s going on, and I will pass the message to Mr. Wong?"

Lin Nianhe talked like she was a little chatterbox, something that could’ve been said in one sentence, she insisted on rambling in a whole long string.

The leader obviously had never encountered such a talkative operator, and got a bit confused by it, took a moment before asking: "Where did Wong Xiao go? When will he be back?"

Establishing a branch factory is a big deal; he didn’t want to relay the message. If Wong Xiao could return soon, he’d just wait a bit longer.

"Mr. Wong has gone to Ten Miles Team, oh my, leader, you have no idea, our place was turned upside down today, something unheard of for the past thirty years! Guess what? An educated youth from the battalion was released today after making ideological mistakes. She didn’t just stay away from the battalion, but actually went to Ten Miles Team causing trouble!"

"Can you believe it? This is an educated youth from the battalion. Even bandits from fifty years ago didn’t act like this! Speaking of which, it’s our fault too. If we knew she’d be like this, no pressure could have made us let her go to harm the locals!"

"Upon hearing this, Mr. Wong rushed over to Ten Miles Team immediately, Ten Miles Team, oh! That’s an advanced production team. The sideline team organized by Director Wang Hong is also the main productive force for the textile factory’s foreign trade orders, this scared our leadership a lot!"

"I heard that the educated youth from the battalion even smashed the windows of the team leader’s house and it seems someone got hurt!"

Lin Nianhe’s mouth fired off like a machine gun, opening and closing, not even giving Xie Chongli a chance to interject. In less than a minute, she had vividly recounted the events and even didn’t forget to add a rumor.

Actually, it couldn’t be considered a rumor, someone indeed got hurt today—Shi Dongshan ah, the way Su Yuncheng threw her down was fierce.

Xie Chongli’s head buzzed intensely.

Educated youth from the battalion, made a mistake and entered the re-education class, released just today.

These three conditions added up, wasn’t that Shi Dongshan!

From the day Shi Dongshan was sent to the re-education class, Shi Chengkun had been restless, always hopping around trying to pull strings and use connections. Just a few days ago, Shi Chengkun actually made contact with someone in the provincial city, bypassing him and called Lan County directly.

Xie Chongli had only learned about this yesterday.

Xie Chongli and Shi Chengkun seemed to be in charge of separate things, but in reality, they were the most direct rivals—power was finite, anyone who wanted to have real say had to fight for it.

This kind of phenomenon actually existed everywhere, and Lan County was no exception. Sun Jun was Wong Xiao’s nephew. No matter how distant, he still had to show respect for his uncle.

Xie Chongli had never liked Shi Chengkun, or rather, he harbored quite a grudge against him.

For the sake of power and profit, Shi Chengkun had done no small harm to the people around Xie Chongli, his teachers, students, and even his children and family...

Xie Chongli brooded as he listened to these words.

Seeing that he hadn’t spoken for a while, Lin Nianhe timely stopped talking: "I’m so sorry, don’t take offense, leader, I’m just a blabbermouth, I’ve been this way since the womb, Mr. Wong has told me off several times, but I just can’t seem to change... Please don’t mind me. So, I will go look for Mr. Wong right now and ask him to call you back as soon as possible. Does that work for you?"

"Oh, okay, okay," Xie Chongli came back to his senses, not bothering to quibble with a young operator, and just said, "Thank you for running the errand, it’s really an urgent matter that I need to speak with Wong Xiao about."

"Oh my, look at you being so polite, leader! It’s just my job to do these things, I can... Hehehe, I’m sorry, I couldn’t help it again. You’re busy, leader, I’ll go find Mr. Wong now."

"Alright."

Xie Chongli hung up the phone, and his gaze was a bit vacant.

So much gibberish and still being an operator, this girl must be Wong Xiao’s own niece, right?
