Chapter 686: Help suppress it?
Old Wang's heart tightened, and he hurriedly pressed Zhang Sujuan's mischievous little hand, lowered his voice, and said to her: "You stop making a scene first, I have something serious to tell you. President Li held a meeting for us today; Geng Xinghua checked the test papers with Lu Qiao, and then Lu Qiao said Geng Xinghua's results shouldn't be the current results, and she should have been impersonated.
So President Li let us check ourselves; whoever it is, if they really did it, they should take the initiative to stand out, and they can be handled leniently, otherwise, if they are caught, the consequences will be serious."
Zhang Sujuan's heart skipped a beat; she didn't expect that Vice President Wang was looking for her for this matter, and she was also a bit flustered.
"Lu Qiao doesn't manage education matters either, what does it have to do with her? Isn't she just a factory director of a food factory selling instant noodles? Besides, she also scored first in the entire province and is going to Beidu to attend university soon, why is she still coming here?"
"Let's not talk about these for now, Sujuan, what should we do about this?"
Zhang Sujuan glared at Vice President Wang, feeling very chaotic in her heart: "This matter wasn't something the two of us could do; there were others. I heard from Old Cheng that the husband of the Deputy Section Chief Zhou at the very top is a Deputy District Magistrate, and he is a comrade-in-arms with Lu Qiao's husband. If this matter involves Zhou Shanshan, do you think Lu Qiao will help suppress this matter?"
Vice President Wang clenched his hands; speaking of which, he was also harboring a fluke mentality. Hearing Zhang Sujuan say this now, he felt as if he had settled down a bit.
"Now that we have spent the money and the relationships have been taken care of, and the matter has been done, if Zhou Shanshan has great ability and doesn't do anything to her, and then this matter is suppressed, but we stupidly take the initiative to stand out, wouldn't we offend everyone for no reason? Old Wang, hold on, just let them check; it's not just your business alone in the end."
Vice President Wang was also a bit chaotic; this matter wasn't that simple, and it might end up being wiped out in one pot.
Like Zhou Shanshan, what would happen if she were handled?
It's impossible to go to jail, right?
Even if she were fired and sent home, she would still be an official's wife.
Others were also like this; without some ability, it was impossible to manage things in the education sector. 【68
The others were the same; without a bit of ability, it was impossible to manage affairs in the education sector.
Come to think of it, everyone had more ability and wider connections than he did. If they weren't in this unit, they could be transferred to another; such things weren't unheard of.
But as for him, if he didn't do this job as Deputy Director, where could he go?
He could only go home to farm.
So, in the end, he might be the one who ends up in the most miserable state.
Thinking of this, he looked at Zhang Sujuan with some resentment: "It's all your fault. You knew what your daughter's grades were like, didn't you? I urged you so hard not to target Geng Xinghua. We're all in the same commune; if it were exposed, you'd be shamed to death by the fellow villagers.
I told you to wait, don't be in such a hurry. There are so many job opportunities now, especially since we're right next to the 516 Military Factory. How hard is it to become a worker? Even if her grades aren't good, your daughter is a high school graduate; isn't she a hundred times better than those who don't know a single character?"
Zhang Sujuan also felt very irritable, but she wasn't too worried because if something happened, Old Wang would still cover for her.
She was just a small sales clerk; what could they really do to her?
Besides, is going to university the same as working in a factory?
After graduating from university, one becomes a state cadre, and the job is guaranteed. They get assigned to big cities, especially the Beidu Post and Telecommunications Bureau—what a great school that is!
And now it's the first batch; after graduation, she will definitely stay at the Beidu Post and Telecommunications Bureau.
That unit isn't an iron rice bowl; it's a gleaming gold rice bowl!
By then, she could follow her there to Beidu.
Can a state cadre be the same as a worker laboring in a factory?
Just look at those workers in the craft branch factory. It sounds nice, relying on the 516 Military Factory, and the wages are quite high, but they don't have a single chance to slack off; they are busy from morning till night every day.
These people are fools, being exploited by Lu Qiao and the others above them and still feeling grateful.
It's just that no one has reported them; if someone did, this factory would have gone under long ago.
How good it is to be a sales clerk at their supply and marketing cooperative.
When customers come to buy things, you can choose to acknowledge them if you want, or just sit there and pretend you don't hear them if you don't.
The other party still has to be humble and keep a smiling face. Some who come from the villages to buy things are even more servile and fawning, not even daring to speak loudly.
Selling things depends entirely on one's mood; if they want to pick and choose, there's no way.
Those workers are managed by that rural woman Zhao Xiaoman so strictly that they don't have a single chance to slack off, yet they still think their job is quite good.
Thinking of this, Zhang Sujuan's eyes turned red, and she said with a choked voice, "Brother, I'm sorry. I didn't think that much at the time, but now that things are like this, regret is useless. Don't worry, if something really goes wrong, I'll say I did it all, and it has nothing to do with you."
These words actually had no meaning at all. If it were really investigated, even a fool would know: could a sales clerk command a Deputy Director?
What a joke; wouldn't that be turning the world upside down?
But Deputy Director Wang found these words particularly comforting.
He felt some regret for speaking so harshly to the woman he loved.
"No need to be afraid. Let them investigate. What evidence is there now? They can't see the papers. Geng Xinghua is just a young girl; can she really get the Education Commission to pull out the papers?
I heard the papers are all sealed now; it's not like you can just pull them out whenever you want.
If everyone wanted to pull their papers, felt their scores weren't what they should be, and felt they could get into university, wouldn't it be chaos?
It's simply impossible!"
Deputy Director Wang's words actually had no flaws.
Exam papers aren't something you can just pull out; with millions of candidates, if everyone wanted to, it would indeed be chaos.
And without solid evidence, just based on your word that your score feels wrong, it's not that easy to see the papers.
Thus, Deputy Director Wang comforted himself, and his hanging heart seemed to settle a bit, and Zhang Sujuan even more so.
So she said tenderly, "I've missed you. We haven't been together for a long time. How about we meet at our usual spot tonight?"
Hearing this, Old Wang's bones went soft again.
He had gone soft so many times he was about to crumble.
He immediately cast all these worries to the back of his mind.
After all, what President Li said sounded scary, but if you think about it carefully... this wasn't something he accomplished alone.
People up and down were involved; not to mention anything else, just investigating the papers alone isn't that easy.
Thus, Deputy Director Wang also lowered his voice and said, "Little vixen, go early. Don't make me wait too long, or I'll deal with you."
The two separated quickly, and Zhang Sujuan swayed back to the place where they were counting inventory.
The three people looked at each other when she returned but didn't say anything; those two had been whispering at the door as if they were discussing something.
Just don't know what they were talking about...
