Chapter 228: Write Inspection
"Comrade, I actually think the young girl is right. Why should she apologize to you? She didn't say anything excessive, and just admitted her mistake to you earlier with a rather sincere attitude."
Old Sir Song spoke, and when he did, his voice carried the authority of someone in a higher position.
The whole saga, from beginning to end, happened with him present as a key person. If it weren't for the misunderstanding he and his wife caused, this so-called Director Jin wouldn't have said such things.
It's one thing to misunderstand, but how could you speak like this?
Jiang Xiaoxiao got embroiled with Director Jin while standing up for them, and now it was evident that Director Jin intended to make things difficult for this girl.
Of course, Old Sir Song wasn't pleased.
After so many years of being an official, it was the first time he'd encountered someone so arrogant.
Serving the people, they said. How is this serving?
"Old comrade, this matter isn't any of your concern. I haven't even held you accountable for impersonating county-level leadership, yet you come out now saying such things. What exactly did this girl say?
She accused me of covering the sky with one hand! How am I doing such a thing? For those remarks, her ideological awareness is far too poor. Without appropriate labor reform, she would become a threat to society in the future."
Director Jin always found Old Sir Song and his wife disagreeable. This situation was caused by these two people.
Pretending to be some kind of official?
Thinking you're a city person, wearing a jacket with four pockets makes you an official?
Now, who doesn't know that a four-pocket jacket is for officials, so even ordinary families have nothing else to do but copy it.
It's all for showing off, and here they come pretending to be leaders.
If not for this old man and old woman, would there have been such a big misunderstanding?
Now, it makes him look bad here.
"Director Jin, but I have already apologized. How should I express my sincere intention to apologize to you?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao was very familiar with this Director Jin; in her past life, he had wronged her.
He was just taken by her looks, otherwise, why would he have forced Jia Shu into such a state?
Didn't believe that the trap she'd left in her words would hook Director Jin.
Director Jin saw that the girl's tone had softened considerably, assuming she was frightened by his earlier words.
Which young people would willingly support frontier construction? To put it plainly, everyone knew going there meant hardship and toil, and perhaps never returning.
He sneered coldly inside, what now, little girl, scared, huh?
Feeling a sense of relief, he looked at the girl, perceiving her in a new light, realizing she was indeed quite pretty.
Out of anger, he hadn't paid much attention earlier, but now, upon closer inspection, her skin was like jade, white and delicate like a freshly peeled egg white.
Willow brows, slightly raised at the ends, giving a captivating allure. Her lips, bright red, curved into a slight, enticing smile like hooks.
Suddenly, an indescribable itch stirred within him; he used to take slight liberties with young women but never dared to think about anything happening truly.
Especially with people around him.
Besides, if he caused too much trouble, he couldn't contain the situation, but this girl had handed him a handle herself.
His eyes shifted.
"If you're genuinely sincere in wanting to apologize, then go back and write a self-critique. Bring it to me later. As long as your attitude is sincere, it's not impossible to forgive you.
But I'll tell you, I'm only staying here for a day, sleeping one night, and by tomorrow afternoon, we're heading back to the city. If you want to deliver the critique, do it soon. Otherwise, once the name is reported, don't blame me."
Director Jin had it all worked out; if this dead girl didn't want to be sent for frontier support, she'd better come to him this afternoon. Then, he'd make some excuse that her critique wasn't up to par, making her rewrite it and bring it back at night.
Isn't this the best excuse?
Jiang Xiaoxiao chuckled.
How uncreative is this Director Jin? He used this excuse in her past life as well, except back then, she went with Jia Shu.
Director Jin had raged in his office, scolding her severely.
Couldn't he think of a different excuse?
"Director, don't worry, I'll go back and write the critique immediately. I promise to deliver it to your office before dark."
The pledge was absolutely sincere.
Director Jin finally nodded in satisfaction.
At least she was sensible.
Li Dahu, seeing Director Jin raise his hand high and drop it lightly, thought, what a trifle it is to write a self-critique. Who hasn't written a few self-critiques before?
Hurriedly signaled to Jiang Xiaoxiao to hurry back and write it, ending the matter early, lest the man genuinely held a grudge against her.
He urged Director Jin back.
"Director, comrades, you've worked hard for half the day. Let's go, go, go, hurry back and rest."
The two junior staff glared hard at Jiang Xiaoxiao, surprised that this girl who seemed fierce turned out to be a paper tiger, cowering swiftly when scared.
They initially thought there would be a good show to watch, but now, nothing happened, and she submissively went to write the self-critique.
As they walked away, Old Sir Song stomped his foot hard.
"Xiao Li, call back and ask which department sent this Director Jin. What sort of character is this? How is this serving the young people? It's simply lording over them.
Young people go to the countryside, already facing difficulties, and now they encounter such leadership. How is this fair, just, and reasonable? Looking at this person, does he seem fair, just, and reasonable?
There might be something fishy with the quota for returning to the city. Have them investigate thoroughly. Let's see what kind of person this is?"
Old Sir Song was furious. His wife hurried to soothe his back, glancing sympathetically at Jiang Xiaoxiao. If they hadn't been there...
Jiang Xiaoxiao might not have faced this unwarranted trouble, but just based on Director Jin's disgusting behavior, it was evident.
Even if they hadn't come, Director Jin would likely be bullying the young people.
"Xiaoxiao, don't worry. Grandpa and Grandma will stand up for you. We won't let them make life difficult for you guys."
Jiang Xiaoxiao was unfazed, smiling heartily.
"Grandpa, Grandma, don't worry. Isn't it just writing a critique? Rest assured, I'm really good at writing critiques."
She truly didn't want Old Sir and his wife to be upset because of this when they came to see Song Moting.
"Let's go, I'll take you up the mountain; we can only walk up. The car can't go. Think of it as exercise."
She took the lead, heading up the mountain.
Old Sir and his wife watched her carefree demeanor and shook their heads; the child was too innocent.
Did she honestly think writing a self-critique would settle everything?
