Reborn in the ’80s as a Group Favorite Bigshot – Chapter 119

Chapter 119: Gu, the Academic God, Played This Move Well

The sound of this voice made everyone look over.

The villagers saw Educated Youth Gu walking over with Comrade Huo, who had come to the village before, and another young male comrade who was particularly handsome.

Behind the three of them were a few other people, looking as if they were here for an inspection.

Song Chu was a little surprised to see Sheng Qingyang appear. She threw a questioning look at Gu Yue, “Did you bring him here?”

Gu Yue nodded slightly at her, returning a “yes” with his eyes.

Sheng Qingyang looked at the three people surrounded by the villagers and asked, “What’s going on here?”

He had been called by Huo Kai today to see the pig farm, but he didn’t expect to encounter villagers surrounding county officials.

When the middle-aged man saw Sheng Qingyang appear, he was first startled. Why did this Vice-County Magistrate come?

He was about to speak, but Song Chu beat him to it.

“Vice-County Magistrate Sheng, hello.” She stepped forward and greeted him first.

Sheng Qingyang had a particularly deep impression of Song Chu. When he saw her, the smile on his face grew wider, “Comrade Song, hello.”

“Vice-County Magistrate Sheng, did you come to stand up for me?” Song Chu struck first.

Sheng Qingyang was a little confused, “Stand up for you?”

Song Chu nodded, “Yes, I was falsely accused of embezzling public funds, and these three comrades from the County Office came to investigate today.”

“Without any evidence or detention warrant, they actually wanted to forcibly take me back to the county.”

“The villagers saw this and knew I was innocent. They were afraid that I wouldn’t be able to come back if I was taken away, so they stepped forward to stop them. Then you came. Isn’t this standing up for me?”

Sheng Qingyang was even more confused, “Tell me the whole story again.”

Song Chu then recounted the whole story, from being reported to the three people coming to the village.

Then she pointed at Feng Ping with righteous indignation and said, “I suspect that they have some kind of private agreement with the person who reported me. They are deliberately targeting me. He and the person who reported me are in a relationship.”

“I had some conflicts with the person who reported me before, and everyone in the village knows about it. So this is malicious revenge.” She added.

Feng Ping naturally recognized Sheng Qingyang. Hearing Song Chu say this, his face instantly changed, “I didn’t. Song Chu is framing me.”

Song Chu raised her eyebrows, “You’re so anxious to explain, you must be trying to cover something up. If you have nothing to hide, you wouldn’t be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door. You’re so nervous right now, it’s obvious you’ve done something wrong.”

The middle-aged man couldn’t help but say, “Comrade Song Chu, please think carefully before you speak. If you’re saying that we have a problem with the person who reported you, please provide evidence.”

Song Chu questioned him confidently, “Do you dare to say that the person who reported me isn’t Fang Yue Lan? Do you dare to say that Feng Ping hasn’t pursued Fang Yue Lan?”

“Do you dare to say that you’re not Feng Ping’s uncle? The relationship between the three of you, isn’t that enough to show that something fishy is going on?”

Earlier, the two had questioned Song Chu about giving Song Lao Si and Song Ping preferential treatment. Now she was returning the favor.

“Fang Yue Lan is the person who reported me, and she had conflicts with me. Since Feng Ping pursued Fang Yue Lan and they have a good personal relationship, he should have recused himself, but he came here personally. What is this if not collusion? The evidence is right in front of your eyes. The people’s eyes are discerning.” She grasped the key point.

These words left the middle-aged man and Feng Ping speechless. How did this woman know that the person who reported her was Fang Yue Lan?

In front of Sheng Qingyang, they really didn’t dare to shift the blame and say that someone else had reported her, because it would be easy to find out.

Seeing the two of them like this, Sheng Qingyang’s face darkened, “The regulations here state that staff members should recuse themselves if they have any relationship with either the person reporting or the person being reported. Is this how you do things?”

Then he looked at the young man who hadn’t spoken, “Are there any problems with the accounts you checked?”

The young man said truthfully, “There are no problems. From the accounts and the situation, Song Chu did not embezzle or misappropriate public funds.”

◈◈◈

Sheng Qingyang’s face turned even uglier as he asked the middle-aged man, “Since there are no problems, then the report is false. Why did you still want to take Song Chu back to the county town? I don’t remember the County Office having such a regulation.”

The middle-aged man broke out in a cold sweat, “I, we just wanted to ask Song Chu to go to the county town to cooperate with the investigation.”

“It’s already been cleared up at the pig farm, why go back to the county town again?”

Sheng Qingyang said coldly, “It seems that there really is a big problem between you and the person who reported her.”

The villagers also started talking among themselves.

“That Fang Yue Lan is a wicked person. She kept smearing Chu Chu’s reputation in the village before.”

“Not only did she smear Chu Chu, she also smeared her own brothers and sisters-in-law in the Fang family. She’s clearly heartless. How could they believe a report from such a person?”

“She’s been trying to incite us to make trouble at the pig farm recently, just to bring Chu Chu down. This kind of report is clearly personal revenge.”

“Vice-County Magistrate, these people must be in cahoots with Fang Yue Lan. You must clear our Chu Chu’s name!”

Sheng Qingyang raised his hand to reassure them, “Don’t worry, everyone. Since I happened to encounter this matter, I will definitely see it through to the end and give everyone an explanation.”

Then he said to his secretary behind him, “You handle this matter. Investigate the whole thing thoroughly. If anyone has a problem, I will not tolerate it.”

The secretary immediately wrote it down, “Yes, I will do it right away.”

The middle-aged man and Feng Ping were sweating profusely. They didn’t expect this matter to reach the Vice-County Magistrate.

Although Sheng Qingyang was in charge of the economy, he was still a Vice-County Magistrate and had the authority to investigate them.

“Vice-County Magistrate Sheng, this, we…” The middle-aged man wanted to explain.

But Sheng Qingyang didn’t bother to listen to him, “Don’t explain to me. Explain to the investigating comrades when you get back.”

He could tell at a glance that these two had problems. Moreover, with an uncle and nephew in the same department, who knows what other problems might be uncovered.

Song Chu smiled and said gratefully, “Vice-County Magistrate Sheng is indeed upright and just. Thank you so much for today. Otherwise, I don’t know how these two would have bullied me if they took me back.”

Feng Ping and the other man: “…” Who exactly is bullying whom?

Sheng Qingyang smiled meaningfully, “It’s my duty to serve the people.”

“I originally heard that your pig farm was doing quite well, and I happened to have time today, so I wanted to come and take a look. Since I encountered such a thing, let’s deal with it first.”

The current situation was not suitable for inspecting the pig farm.

“Okay, you are welcome to come and inspect at any time, leaders.”

Song Chu could guess that he was probably coaxed by Gu Yue to let Huo Kai bring him to see the pig farm. Today’s incident was also deliberately arranged for him to encounter.

With Sheng Qingyang’s support, Feng Ping and the others really couldn’t do anything else. They would probably be investigated, and they might even lose their jobs.

She didn’t need to do anything else. Feng Ping and his uncle would definitely take it out on Fang Yue Lan, the instigator, as revenge.

Gu, the Academic God, played this move well.
