Reborn in the ’80s as a Group Favorite Bigshot – Chapter 116

Chapter 116: The Investigators Have Arrived

Song Chu had the detailed withdrawal records posted on the wall outside the office.

She did not post the income details.

As the breeding farm became more stable, the income would certainly increase. Posting the income details would only attract unnecessary trouble.

Then, she had Song Lao Si and others distribute a new pair of shoes to each person.

After distributing the shoes, while everyone was particularly happy, Song Chu called out three more names.

“These three have performed very well during their time at the breeding farm, so I am promoting them to management positions. Their salary and benefits will be increased by one level.”

“Everyone, work hard. There will be many more opportunities for promotion in the future. As long as you put in the effort, you will have the chance to become a manager.”

The hard work of these three individuals at the breeding farm was obvious to everyone, so no one had any objections.

Instead, this event further motivated everyone to work even harder.

Being promoted to a management position not only meant being able to manage others but also receiving an increase in salary and benefits. They were determined to work harder.

“We will definitely work hard,” the workers at the breeding farm shouted in unison.

Song Chu smiled and nodded, then added, “The breeding farm is planning to recruit a few more skilled workers, such as those skilled in carpentry, masonry, carving, etc. Anyone who believes they have a special skill can apply. Once selected, they will receive the same salary and benefits as other workers at the breeding farm.”

“Really? That’s great!” The villagers who had come to watch were excited.

Song Chu smiled, “Of course, it’s true. As long as I’m here, I will help everyone improve their lives. The whole village will have enough food and warm clothes.”

In other words, if someone else took over, the livelihood of the village would not be guaranteed.

The villagers were sensible. Their lives were getting better and better, especially for those who worked at the breeding farm, who would receive their wages next month.

“Chu Chu, we will definitely support you all the way. If anyone dares to cause trouble, we will kick them out of the village,” the elders said, taking the lead in showing their support.

Others also shouted, “That’s right, we only believe that you, Chu Chu, can lead us to a better life. If anyone disobeys, they should get out of the village.”

They had never dared to dream of such a good life before. Anyone who tried to disrupt it was harming them, and they would not let them get away with it.

Song Chu smiled and bowed to everyone, “I thank you all for your support.”

After distributing the shoes, she let everyone disperse.

Tang Feng had complained to the village women about Fang Yue Lan only after work in the afternoon, so many families were not yet aware of the matter.

When they heard about it that evening, everyone’s dislike for Fang Yue Lan deepened.

However, none of the workers at the breeding farm had been swayed by her instigation, so people didn’t pay much attention to the matter.

Who knew that the next day, three people from the county office would arrive in the village.

Tang Min and the village cadres received them.

Among the three, two were young men, and one was a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man said with a serious expression, “We received a report that there are problems with the breeding farm in your village. The director is young and inexperienced, and has also misappropriated and embezzled public funds. The situation is quite serious, so we need to conduct a thorough investigation.”

Tang Min was prepared and remained calm, “The director of the breeding farm is Song Chu from our village. Although she is young, she is very capable. She set up this farm herself by running around and taking care of everything.”

One of the young men behind the middle-aged man looked at Tang Min meaningfully, “Is that so? We heard that you are Song Chu’s uncle. We wonder if there’s anything fishy going on here?”

Tang Min said righteously, “Song Chu is my niece, but she established the breeding farm herself. It has nothing to do with me.”

“Comrade, what do you mean by ‘fishy’? Don’t make baseless accusations.” It seemed that these three were up to no good.

Feng Ping was taken aback. He didn’t expect this village brigade leader to be so bold as to talk back to him. If it were cadres from other villages, they would be bowing and scraping in front of them.

Just as he was about to speak, Song Chu arrived.

“I am Song Chu, the director of the breeding farm. You three can ask me anything you want to investigate.”

◈◈◈

The villagers, having heard that the county office had sent people to investigate, followed Song Chu to see what was happening.

Feng Ping was stunned to see Song Chu, who was even more beautiful than before. He felt that she had changed a lot.

“Hello, Comrade Song.” He greeted Song Chu first after recovering from his surprise.

Song Chu looked at the young man, whose appearance was only average, and searched her memory before finally recalling who he was.

She smiled faintly, “Hello, Comrade Feng. Are you here to see Comrade Fang?”

This person was her junior high school classmate and also a suitor of Fang Yue Lan.

Feng Ping immediately shook his head, “We are here to investigate a report that you are suspected of misappropriating public funds.”

Then he emphasized with a hint of pride, “I now work at the county office.”

He had had a bit of a crush on Song Chu before because she was so beautiful. Unfortunately, this woman was too proud and ignored him.

She even badmouthed him to Fang Yue Lan, which made him start to dislike her.

Although Fang Yue Lan was not as beautiful as Song Chu, she was gentle and considerate, so he took the opportunity to pursue her for a while.

However, his family would never allow him to marry a village girl, so after a period of ambiguity, they stopped contacting each other.

This time, Fang Yue Lan had heartbrokenly reported her friend Song Chu, which was truly an act of righteousness. His uncle happened to be in charge of this area, so he had the report confirmed and deliberately came along to investigate today.

He also wanted to show Song Chu his capabilities, making her regret her previous attitude of ignoring him.

Song Chu smiled openly, “I thought you were chasing Fang Yue Lan all the way to our village.”

She said this deliberately for the villagers to hear.

“Since you are here to investigate, please come this way. I will take you to the breeding farm to check the accounts.” She made a gesture of invitation.

Seeing her so generous and open, Feng Ping felt that something was different from what he had imagined.

Shouldn’t she have immediately changed her expression, become submissive, and be afraid of him?

The middle-aged man frowned, “Let’s go to the breeding farm to check the accounts first.”

Song Chu then led the three to the breeding farm.

The villagers’ faces showed worry and anger.

“That young comrade is Fang Yue Lan’s suitor. She must have gone to him to report Chu Chu.”

“That girl from the Fang family is so vicious. She failed to incite the workers at the breeding farm, so she must have reported it herself.”

“She’s even harming people in her own village. That girl from the Fang family is beyond saving.”

“She’s like a rat dropping in the village. We can’t let her ruin everything.”

“That’s right. After this is over, we can’t let that girl from the Fang family off the hook.”

“These people look unkind. What if they try to find fault with Chu Chu?”

“Let’s go and see. Chu Chu didn’t misappropriate or embezzle any public funds. If these people dare to slander her, we won’t stand for it,” said an elderly man with some prestige in the village as he walked.

“That’s right, let’s go and keep an eye on them. We can’t let them wrong Chu Chu.” The villagers all went to the breeding farm.

I’m not feeling well today. The next chapter will continue at 3 PM~~
