Chapter 687

Deputy Director Wang walked home with his hands behind his back.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he smelled the fragrance of food coming from the kitchen.

It must be said, although his wife wasn't much to look at, her cooking skills were excellent, and she was quite fertile, having given him three sons in a row.

So, although he and Zhang Sujuan were close and liked each other, he never thought about divorcing his wife. Besides, Zhang Sujuan didn't want a divorce either; the two of them being sneaky was even more exciting than living together.

So Old Wang enjoyed his current life. He had originally thought about becoming the Director, but now that President Li had been promoted, he stopped thinking about it.

Because he was older than President Li, it wouldn't be his turn to take over. Besides, President Li couldn't be promoted again immediately because there were simply no positions available.

Old Zhu had picked up a big bargain.

So for President Li to move up, how much achievement would he have to make?

And this also required time and seniority.

So Old Wang felt he was doing quite well for himself now.

Come to think of it, not just anyone could live a life like this.

Seeing her husband return, Liu Dahui finally found someone to vent to.

She put down the ladle and said to Deputy Director Wang, "Old Wang, who do you think this person is? They are truly devoid of conscience; how could they do such a damaging thing?

Geng Xinghua studied so hard for so many years. She finally passed, only for it to become someone else's!

How shameless must that child be? Not studying hard herself and then stealing someone else's spot—isn't she afraid of ghosts knocking on her door at night?

They say some evil people are just evil. Sooner or later, they will face retribution; may they never have a son."

Old Wang's mood turned sour instantly, and he glared at his wife.

You shrew, how can you curse people like that?

Liu Dahui didn't notice at all and continued to herself, "Looking at President Li's attitude today, this matter won't just end like this.

Besides, you know Lu Qiao's work style. Since she's intervened, I don't think she'll go to university in Beidu until the truth is revealed."

Finally, she added, "My analysis is that the admission letter is in the hands of the person who stole the identity, and there must be someone at the Post and Telecommunications Bureau colluding with them. Anyway, if this matter is exposed, I don't know how many people will be implicated. But that's what they deserve for doing such damaging things."

Old Wang couldn't take it anymore and scolded, "Just hurry up and cook your meal; why are you talking about this?"

Liu Dahui didn't care at all: "President Li didn't say we couldn't talk about it. Besides, everyone is investigating now; everyone will know soon, so talking or not won't change anything."

Old Wang's mood, which had just been calmed by his mistress, became unpleasant again.

Actually, this matter didn't need much time.

In the evening, someone went to President Li's house; it was Old Liang, the director of the supply and marketing cooperative.

Seeing him arrive, Old Li welcomed him warmly. They were old comrades who had worked together for many years. President Li directly handed him a pair of chopsticks and said, "If you've come, it's for a reason, but there's no rush. Eat first, and we'll talk after."

Old Liang waved his hand quickly: "I've already eaten. I just want to tell you something, but there's no rush. We'll talk after you finish."

Old Li drank the last of his wine, finished the rice in his bowl in a few bites, and then led Old Liang into the courtyard.

Old Liang looked left and right, lowered his voice, and said to him, "I don't know who stole the identity, but I can provide you with a piece of information. That is, the eldest daughter of Zhang Sujuan, the sales clerk at our supply and marketing cooperative—didn't she also get into university?"

Hearing this, President Li's heart skipped a beat.

He had already been suspicious of Old Wang, and upon remembering his mistress Zhang Sujuan, President Li seemed to understand something.

"Isn't it said that her eldest daughter got into a school in the Northwest, and it doesn't seem very good?" This was what President Li knew.

"That's what Zhang Sujuan tells everyone. We asked her which school it was, and she hasn't told me yet. I actually felt it wasn't quite normal. But then again, with millions of candidates, how many get admitted? Regardless of which school you get into, it's a matter of bringing honor to your ancestors. Why hide it and not dare to say?"

"Actually, I can't be sure that Zhang Sujuan's eldest daughter is the one who stole Geng Xinghua's identity. But this is easy to solve. So many from our commune passed, and basically everyone has received their admission letters. Let those students take out their admission letters; won't the truth be revealed then?"

President Li's eyes lit up.

As expected of the director of the supply and marketing cooperative.

His brain is naturally shrewd; why didn't he think of that?

President Li slapped his thigh: "Good, let's do that tomorrow."

Lu Qiao didn't expect this matter to be investigated in a single day.

Old Wang was taken away by people from the county; who knows what they'll find out.

But actually, this matter was investigated very quickly.

Lu Qiao made two phone calls, and the speed of the investigation accelerated.

The candidate in the remote mountain village was working in the fields when the loudspeaker at the brigade headquarters notified him to go there.

Only then did he know he had been admitted to university, but his spot had been stolen.

As for who stole it, he didn't know.

He knew he would never have to face the yellow earth and turn his back to the sky again. From now on, he was a university student, and his destiny had completely changed.

The candidate who had fallen ill at the educated youth site was in a state of extreme depression.

He didn't want to farm in the countryside, but he didn't even have a place to live if he returned to the city.

He didn't know what to do.

Either accept his fate or just die.

Who could have imagined that the commune cadre would bring him his admission letter?

And Geng Xinghua, holding the admission letter from Beidu Post and Telecommunications University, she and the Old Geng family were immersed in immense ecstasy.

As for Geng Xinghua's uncle and aunt, they were also taken away to assist in the investigation.

Because they had colluded with Zhang Sujuan.

And everyone in Manshan Commune who knew about this was discussing it.

Some thought Old Wang was too devoid of conscience to do such a heartless thing; others cursed Zhang Sujuan for being shameless, letting her daughter steal someone else's spot—was her conscience eaten by dogs?

Then some whispered in secret.

"This matter is all Zhang Sujuan's fault for being too arrogant. If she hadn't said her daughter got into university and just secretly took the train away, who would have known where she went?"

"Isn't this just a psychology of showing off? It's a pity she didn't show off correctly and got herself caught in it."

So many people signed up for the college entrance exam, but how many passed? Those who didn't pass were the majority.

Being able to have one more school meant one more admission channel, and learning a skill was also good.

Although Meng Xia was reluctant to part with her daughter, thinking that she was going to Beidu to attend university, she felt happy again.

She had previously worried about what Qiao would do for work after Qin Hengzhi returned to Beidu in two years.

Now she wasn't worried at all.

Even if Qin Hengzhi returned to Beidu, her daughter would also be attending university in BJ... ===== CHAPTER 679 =====
