Reborn in the ’80s as a Group Favorite Bigshot – Chapter 118

Chapter 118: Why is She So Difficult to Deal With?

The workers at the pig farm had no objections to the expenses incurred by Song Chu and the others during their business trip. The County Office also had no regulations on what kind of hotels they had to stay in or what kind of meals they had to eat during business trips. Their attempts to find fault and nitpick failed.

The workers and villagers who were surrounded felt uncomfortable being chattered at by them.

“I’ll go check the accounts of the pig farm.” The middle-aged man ran into the office after saying that.

Feng Ping also immediately said, “I’ll go check too.”

They really couldn’t stand these strange villagers anymore. If they continued talking, they would only have one thought in their minds: Song Chu should be like this…

The two entered the office. Song Chu did not follow them in. Instead, she told the workers to continue with their work.

After the middle-aged man and Feng Ping entered, they asked the young man, “How’s the investigation going? Are there any problems?”

The young man shook his head. “No problem. Every entry from the first to the present is clearly recorded, and there are also signatures of the accountant and cashier.”

“Does that mean Song Chu didn’t manipulate the accounts to embezzle public funds?” The middle-aged man frowned.

The young man replied, “No. Previously, the pig farm’s accounts were all based on bartering. It was only half a month ago that they had a few hundred yuan in income. The expenses are also relatively clear, and there are invoices.”

“Apart from being a bit extravagant in her travel expenses, there are no other problems with Song Chu’s use of the pig farm’s public funds.” He added.

Although he was sitting inside checking the accounts, he could hear everything that was said outside.

The fact that the pig farm and the villagers were so protective of Song Chu meant that this little director must have some exceptional qualities. It seemed unnecessary for them to keep staring at her like this.

However, Feng Ping remembered what Fang Yue Lan had said before, and couldn’t help but say, “Check again, see if you can find any useful leverage.”

If they could pull Song Chu down and push Fang Yue Lan to the position of director, then they wouldn’t have to worry about eating chicken and duck from the pig farm in the future.

Moreover, Fang Yue Lan also offered to help place some of their relatives as managers at the pig farm.

Originally, they didn’t think much of the pig farm. But after coming here, they found that it was completely different from what they imagined.

The pig farm was built on a large scale, the breeding area was divided, and they even used machines like chick incubators. It looked bigger and better than the chicken farm in the county town.

The most important thing was that the preliminary work had already been completed, and the chickens would soon be ready for sale. The profits were completely visible.

It would be great if they could get a share of the pie. The benefits at the pig farm seemed very good, with distributions of goods and wages. They had many relatives who were idle and would definitely be willing to work here.

The young man felt a little speechless, but he couldn’t say anything. “Then I’ll take another look.”

So the three of them sat in the office and continued to check the accounts for more than an hour. Feng Ping and the middle-aged man kept discussing how to best handle the situation.

They checked the accounts twice more, but they couldn’t find any leverage. The accounts were simply too clear and detailed.

Feng Ping thought for a while and leaned closer to the middle-aged man’s ear, whispering a few words.

Then the three of them came out of the office together. Song Chu was called over.

Song Chu asked with a faint smile, “Have the three of you finished checking the accounts?”

Feng Ping replied, “We feel that there are some problems with your previous barter-based accounts, so we need you to come with us to the county town to continue cooperating with the investigation.”

Their current idea was to take Song Chu directly back to the county town, and then let Fang Yue Lan find a way to see if she could get a breakthrough from the pig farm.

But Song Chu didn’t fall for their trap. “If you have any questions, just ask them here, and I’ll answer them. There’s no need to go to the county town.”

The middle-aged man avoided this and said seriously, “Your problem is quite serious, so you still have to come with us to the county town.”

Song Chu raised her eyebrows, “What serious problem do I have? How come I don’t know about it?”

◈◈◈

“Someone reported you, and you came to investigate. I can understand and cooperate, but I haven’t broken any laws, so why should I go with you?”

“Besides, do you even have the right? If you can show me an arrest warrant, then I’ll go with you.”

“If you don’t have an arrest warrant, and you dare to take me away, I’ll sue you for attempting to illegally detain a citizen.”

Feng Ping and the two: “……” Why is this woman so difficult to deal with?

The two were suddenly at a loss for words.

Feng Ping couldn’t help but say, “What illegal detention? We’re just asking you to come to the County Office to cooperate with the investigation.”

“Why do I have to go to the County Office? The report was about me embezzling the pig farm’s public funds. Now you’ve already checked the accounts and learned about the pig farm and the workers. Aren’t you clear about the facts?”

“I seriously doubt your ability to handle this matter, and I also suspect that you want to trick me into going to the county town for various threats and coercion to confess. So I won’t go with you.”

Song Chu said very shamelessly, “If you have the ability, then show me the evidence that I embezzled public funds. If you don’t have evidence, it means I was framed. I want to counter-report the person who reported me, and you should deal with her.”

The middle-aged man and Feng Ping had been working for a long time, but they had never encountered such a situation.

Song Chu was not only unafraid of their investigation, but she could turn everything into various reasons and rebuttals, making it difficult for them to find a breakthrough.

The villagers also shouted, “That’s right, if you have the ability, show us the evidence. Otherwise, why should we let you take our Chu Chu away?”

They all felt that going to these people’s territory would definitely be detrimental to Song Chu, and they firmly refused to let them take her away.

The middle-aged man was really annoyed by these unreasonable villagers and couldn’t help but shout, “We’re investigating Song Chu, what are you interfering for? If you keep talking, you’ll be obstructing official duties, and you’ll go to jail.”

“Pfft, you think we’re scared? This is our village, and Song Chu is one of us. Why can’t we interfere?”

Song Chu’s Second Aunt, who was also a bit feisty, rushed forward. “Come on, come and arrest me.”

“That’s right, come and arrest us!” Many people also squeezed forward, looking as if they were saying, “If you don’t arrest us, you’re cowards.”

“You insist on slandering Chu Chu. Are you up to something?” The villagers immediately surrounded the three.

On their village’s territory, these three couldn’t act so arrogantly.

The three saw that the villagers surrounding them were all fierce and menacing. They immediately realized that this was bad. If these villagers started to get physical, it would be troublesome.

They had heard before that some ignorant villages had very fierce customs, and people who went there from the county town to do work were even beaten up. They didn’t want to be beaten.

“You, what are you doing?” The middle-aged man’s voice became weaker.

“Justice, we want justice for our Chu Chu. Otherwise, you won’t be able to go back today.”

“That’s right, justice.” The villagers shouted passionately.

The middle-aged man and the other two were speechless. These villagers were simply too unreasonable.

Just then, a clear voice sounded, “What’s going on here?”
