Chapter 623: Each Holds to Their Own Version
Now, regarding this matter, Jiang Mengmeng says she was just helping to carry things and only took a little fee, but Section Chief Wang's lover insists she was buying and reselling.
But because there is little evidence and it's all just words, each side sticks to its own version.
And Luo Yushan, perhaps because the other party is the Section Chief, clearly leans toward what Big Sister Li said.
So now Jiang Mengmeng must correct her attitude; stubbornly talking back will only make Luo Yushan trust her even less.
If this stalemate continues, the one who suffers can only be Jiang Mengmeng.
When Jiang Mengmeng heard Lu Cheng say he was willing to help her, her expression froze for a moment.
She was clearly doubting whether Lu Cheng could actually help her.
Now Segment Chief Luo is worried he can't catch anyone else, insists on making her a typical case, and once Segment Chief Luo makes a decision, he never changes it easily.
But to stay in her Broadcaster post, Jiang Mengmeng has no choice but to try, immediately softening her attitude.
"I'm sorry, Segment Chief Luo, I know I was wrong, and I definitely won't do this again next time."
Hearing Jiang Mengmeng finally acknowledge her mistake, Luo Yushan's mood eased a few degrees.
Seizing the interval, Lu Cheng took the chance to say, "Segment Chief Luo, look, this matter was mainly arranged by the two of them, a conflict arose in between, and we can't directly determine who is lying."
Luo Yushan inhaled, "The Section Chief's lover wouldn't falsely accuse a Broadcaster, would they?"
Sure enough, Luo Yushan leaned even more toward Big Sister Li's version.
Lu Cheng smiled, "Segment Chief Luo, I think everything requires evidence; if we only hear one side, it's hard to convince anyone."
Seeing that Luo Yushan's attitude wasn't as strong as before, Lu Cheng continued.
"Training a Broadcaster isn't easy nowadays; I used to serve on the Jingguang Line, and Broadcaster Jiang's professional ability was outstanding, moving her to logistics would really waste her talent," Lu Cheng said.
Luo Yushan suddenly sighed, "I don't want to handle this so severely; after all, she's from the Kehuyun Section, but now the matter has escalated, and her Train Captain doesn't want her anymore."
Lu Cheng was a bit puzzled, "It shouldn't be that bad; just explain it to the Train Captain."
Luo Yushan waved his hand, "It's not a matter of explanation, and not just because of this incident; you don't know that every time Jiang Mengmeng arrives in Guangcheng, she always leaves her team and goes wandering the streets.
It has happened many times; the train there is about to depart, yet she can't be found, and the train has been delayed several times waiting for her. That's what the Train Captain told me."
Hearing Luo Yushan's words, Lu Cheng glanced at Jiang Mengmeng again.
Jiang Mengmeng realized she couldn't argue this time and lowered her head apologetically.
Now it can be said that Big Sister Li's report of her buying and reselling became the fuse that made the Train Captain unwilling to keep her.
Lu Cheng at that moment didn't know how to help, since the Train Captain's statements surely weren't falsely accusing Jiang Mengmeng.
At that moment, after a brief silence, Luo Yushan suddenly thought of a solution.
"Hey, Deputy Captain Lu, how about this: Guangcheng is a flashy world with too many temptations, so why not send little Jiang to the Jingha Line, just to settle her heart?"
Hearing Luo Yushan's sudden decision, Lu Cheng was at a loss for words.
This is a determined move to transfer Jiang Mengmeng away from her original post.
But unlike moving her to logistics, transferring her to the Jingha Line actually preserves her Broadcaster position.
Moreover, it gives an explanation both to Section Chief Wang's lover and to the Train Captain.
One could say these old guys handle matters with airtight precision.
Regarding Luo Yushan's decision, Lu Cheng really had little to say; after all, they did give him, the Deputy Captain, some face by not moving Jiang Mengmeng to logistics for menial work.
Besides, crew transfers are originally under the jurisdiction of the Kehuyun Section.
Originally, this arrangement was the best.
Who knew Jiang Mengmeng still refused: "I won't go there; the northeast is so cold in winter!"
Luo Yushan instantly became displeased again: "The cold is exactly right; now you should harden your will—only by remembering class hardship can you keep moving forward.
You now clearly show a Petty Bourgeoisie tendency; paradoxically, a bitterly cold place will help raise your revolutionary consciousness."
Now hearing Jiang Mengmeng refuse to go to the northeastern line, Luo Yushan became even more determined in his decision.
And Jiang Mengmeng now has only two options: go to logistics or go to the Jingha Line.
She could only look at Lu Cheng pleadingly, hoping he would, like earlier, speak kindly again.
Little did Lu Cheng know, he now had nothing to say, since Luo Yushan had already shifted to a class‑based argument, slapping a Petty Bourgeoisie label on Jiang Mengmeng.
If he said anything else, it would mean his own ideological line was also wrong.
"I support Segment Chief Luo's decision."
Jiang Mengmeng, hearing that, stamped her foot in anger.
Luo Yushan, as Deputy Section Chief, gave Jiang Mengmeng no chance to rebut and immediately finalized the transfer.
After leaving the Railway Bureau Courtyard, Jiang Mengmeng still complained.
"I said, Lu Jingzhang, that's not right—now you're Deputy Captain, you're already a leader, why didn't you speak up for me just now? I don't want to go to the Jingha Line; it's too cold there in winter."
Lu Cheng, walking ahead, said, "I've found you quite ungrateful; didn't I just say good things for you? If it weren't for me, you'd already be transferred to logistics for menial work. You still have your Broadcaster position, yet you complain instead of thanking me!"
Jiang Mengmeng stopped in her tracks, watching Lu Cheng's tall silhouette, realizing she was indeed a bit ungrateful.
And the Jingha Line is where Lu Cheng serves, so she'll be able to see him often.
Thinking of that, Jiang Mengmeng finally said, "Alright, thank you, that's enough."
Lu Cheng turned around and said, "First, I need to make this clear: although Segment Chief Luo transferred you to our train line, if you dare be late, I'll have Segment Chief Luo move you to logistics for menial work. This time is a chance for you."
Seeing Lu Cheng's serious expression, Jiang Mengmeng smiled, "Oh, I get it. From now on, if anyone asks me to carry things, I won't do it."
Jiang Mengmeng had learned a lesson; Lu Cheng nodded satisfactorily and prepared to leave.
Jiang Mengmeng called from behind, "Where are you going? This counts as you helping me, so let me treat you to a meal."
Lu Cheng waved his hand, "We're in the same team now, no need for formalities. I'm heading home."
But Jiang Mengmeng chased after him, "Shall we go dancing Social Dance? I heard the Cultural Palace in our bureau just opened a new dance hall, and I haven't been there yet."
Lu Cheng had also heard; indeed, Reform and Opening Up had arrived a few years ago, when Social Dance could only be done covertly underground.
Now many agencies even encourage Social Dance.
