Chapter 785: Good morning

"You go first and tell Deputy Director Zhang about the situation here."

Fang Lining glanced at Wang Jingzhang, who was standing on the operating platform speaking, and whispered to Fu Linfang.

At the same time, he urged: "Don't come back in a while; it will definitely be chaotic here."

"Then what about you?"

Fu Linfang nervously gripped Fang Lining's arm. The things the two of them had done these past few days could be described as heart-stopping and nerve-wracking.

Including Wang Jingzhang's secret gathering of personnel today, neither of them knew beforehand, and they had to notify the East Wind side immediately.

Fang Lining held Fu Linfang's hand and whispered: "Don't worry about me; I'll hide when the time comes. This matter is urgent; we absolutely cannot give him a chance to make a comeback."

As he spoke, he gestured toward the back door of the workshop preparation room and said: "Go from there; there are people watching the main entrance."

Fu Linfang took the key Fang Lining handed her, looked at him worriedly, and under the urging of his gaze, quietly left through the back door of the preparation room they often used.

Fang Lining looked back at Wang Jingzhang on the operating platform, his eyes full of resentment and destruction. When he followed the others in shouting slogans, his face twitched with excitement.

He had waited for this day for a long time. Although it had only been a little over a week, he felt that the time spent in hell was particularly unbearable.

Previously, he had been afraid of Wang Jingzhang's retaliation, so he had never dared to act rashly.

Today was different. From the perspective of righteousness, the Management Committee was responsible for organizing all "Great Study" activities. Since the Management Committee had issued a notice to ban the Red Flag Society, Wang Jingzhang no longer stood on moral ground.

From the perspective of the general trend, the East Wind Society had already quietly integrated into the Management Committee, including the Workers' Correction Team and the Propaganda Team; the backbone of those groups were all former East Wind Society members.

Many people had already left the Red Flag Society these past few days, especially today; Wang Jingzhang sent people to notify them, but fewer than sixty people came.

The former members wouldn't come anymore, which made Wang Jingzhang incomparably disappointed and also incomparably ashamed and angry.

He stood there, gesticulating wildly, complaining about the unfairness from above, shouting about changing the current situation in the factory, and telling the people at the scene those promises that were destined never to be realized.

Fang Lining didn't know what kind of mental state the sixty-plus people in the workshop were in, but he was certain whether Wang Jingzhang was crazy.

Just use these sixty-plus people to oppose East Wind?

Are you kidding!?

Even when there were many people before, Fang Lining didn't want to sink with the ship. Now that it had come to this, his standing here was more about wanting to see with his own eyes how Wang Jingzhang would die.

He hated Wang Jingzhang; he hated his ignorance, hated his incompetence, hated his lack of virtue, his shamelessness, and his lack of brains!

A perfectly good Red Flag Society, let him lead it into this state, leading everyone into the ditch.

After today, there would be no more Red Flag Society.

……

Just as they were responding to Wang Jingzhang's speech, just as they were blindly raising their fists and shouting, just as they thought Wang Jingzhang would lead them to continue fighting for rights...

"Boom!"

A roaring sound came from outside the workshop gate, as if a dozen cars had stopped in front of the gate.

Then, the people on guard at the gate had no delay in the face of this tidal threat, and the gate was pushed open with a "clatter."

"Over there!"

"Scatter!"

"Damn it, scatter!"

"The Red Flag Society is disbanded! What are you doing here!"

"Get out of the way!"

"Get out of the way for me!"

"Flatten the Red Flag Society, capture Wang Jingzhang alive!"

……

"Run~"

"Ah~"

"It's not me! I'm not from the Red Flag Society~"

"Don't hit~!"

"My leg~ ah~"

"Wuwuwu~"

……

"Deputy Division Chief Xiao, something big is wrong~"

Sun Jian burst into Xiao Zihong's office without knocking and said to the bewildered Xiao Zihong: "Something happened in the production workshop!"

Xiao Zihong stood up with a "thump," glared at Sun Jian, swallowed nervously, and then walked to the window.

Just like Li Xuewu's office, standing by his office window, one could also see the situation in the production area.

Similarly, ever since he used binoculars in Li Xuewu's office, he had prepared a pair himself, learning from Li Xuewu to monitor the entire factory.

Xiao Zihong's field of vision could only see the situation at the entrance of Workshop Seven, but he couldn't see what was happening inside the workshop.

Fortunately, Sun Jian was well-informed and gave him a detailed report while he was observing the situation in the production area.

"The Red Flag Society was gathering in Workshop Seven; someone reported it to the Workers' Correction Team, and the Workers' Correction squads, including East Wind, dispatched over three hundred..."

"What about the personnel? Is there any danger?!"

Xiao Zihong was actually most concerned about this. The confrontation between East Wind and Red Flag hadn't been just for a day or two; today's situation was completely within expectations.

But confrontation and fighting could not result in casualties; this was the bottom line of the Security Division. Once that line was crossed, the Security Division had to intervene.

He wanted to hear from Sun Jian that there were no casualties, but unfortunately, Sun Jian's anxious and helpless expression had shattered his hopes.

"Preliminary judgment by surveillance personnel: many people are seriously injured, over twenty are slightly injured, and the others have scattered. No one in the factory dares to say they are from the Red Flag Society anymore."

Sun Jian pursed his lips, looked at the Deputy Division Chief's furrowed brows, paused, and continued: "Because it was in the confined space of the workshop, there was crowding and trampling."

"What about Wang Jingzhang?"

Xiao Zihong's chest heaved violently. He was very angry, but he had no chance to lose his temper; handling this emergency was the priority now.

"Wang Jingzhang..."

Sun Jian frowned and said: "He ran first, but he was caught in the end. When the surveillance personnel saw him, he was tied up with straw ropes, wearing a paper basket on his head, and was thrown onto the marking platform by a man named Liu Guangtian. His situation is still okay."

"Damn it! A scourge!"

Xiao Zihong couldn't bear his usual gentleness, cursed, threw the binoculars in his hand, and asked Sun Jian: "Have you reported to the leadership?"

"Reported to Deputy Factory Director Cheng."

Sun Jian frowned and said: "Deputy Factory Director Cheng said to ask the Security Division to handle it properly."

Xiao Zihong glanced at Sun Jian. He hadn't done anything wrong; the Security Division was managed by Dong Wenxuan, but in the Steel Rolling Factory, emergencies naturally had to be reported to Cheng Kaiyuan.

However, Cheng Kaiyuan's reply didn't satisfy Xiao Zihong, but it was a bit late to call Dong Wenxuan at this time, and it wasn't very appropriate.

Therefore, he really had to take the blame himself.

Thinking of this, he felt stifled. Why did Li Xuewu have to go for training at this time, not earlier, not later?

The key was that he thought of the division's work plan from last week; even if Li Xuewu hadn't gone for training this week, he had a lot of work to do outside.

The point was, Li Xuewu had plans to go to Steel City to inspect work, so this blame was his regardless.

Didn't a Deputy Division Chief have a choice!

Xiao Zihong pressed his fist on the desk and said to Sun Jian: "Since the situation is urgent, then activate the emergency plan. Tell the Security Section and the Fire Section to execute it according to the established plan."

"Right!"

Xiao Zihong pointed at Sun Jian, who was about to leave, and urged: "Tell the factory hospital to do their best to complete the rescue mission."

"Yes!"

Sun Jian agreed and hurried out, while also thinking about the impact of this incident on the Steel Rolling Factory, the Security Division, himself, and others.

Thinking a bit more at this time, Wang Jingzhang was definitely finished. Zhang Guoqi used East Wind to rise to power, and this time returning to the management sequence of the Steel Rolling Factory, coupled with the establishment of the Management Committee, was a turbulent time.

Actually, there were still many people in the Red Flag Society in the Steel Rolling Factory; those called to Workshop Seven by Wang Jingzhang today were just the backbone.

He had thought that if he wanted to attack Li Huai De, having too many people wouldn't be of much use, and it wouldn't be easy to maneuver upstairs.

Sixty-plus people were just right, easy to manage, easy to control, and the important thing was secrecy.

But the problem was that he thought those who couldn't be trusted weren't the informants, while those he thought were in his grasp were the very culprits who pushed him into hell.

If he had gathered everyone from the Red Flag Society, East Wind really wouldn't have dared to come to Workshop Seven to mess with him today.

But things were just that realistic. He was afraid of leaking news, so he found the most reliable people, but the most reliable people informed, and East Wind knew they only had sixty-plus people; would they spare them?

And one couldn't miss this opportunity to take out Wang Jingzhang; he was too hateful.

As early as when Wang Jingzhang was aiming at Li Huai De, Li Xuewu accompanied Li Huai De downstairs, saw him off work, and turned around to name Zhang Guoqi.

Zhang Guoqi remembered very clearly that Li Xuewu was serious and ruthless as never before, pointing his finger at his nose and telling him: Every day you let Wang Jingzhang jump around, Deputy Factory Director Li's disappointment in you will increase by one point. Think about how many days of trust you have left with the leadership to be cut.

Zhang Guoqi was very confused by this subtraction problem, but also very clear-headed. What he was confused about was not knowing how to deal with Wang Jingzhang; when the cunning rabbit dies, how should the hunting dog survive?

What he was clear about was that he understood very well that the level of trust Li Huai De had in him wasn't much, and it couldn't even withstand any tests.

Then why would Li Huai De use him and let him hold such an important position in the Steel Rolling Factory?

Very simple, this matter needed someone who was willing to risk everything to do it, and another thing was Li Xuewu's recommendation.

Both reasons were very critical. There were plenty of people willing to risk everything; there was no lack of courageous people at this time, but they all lacked a noble person.

Li Xuewu was Zhang Guoqi's noble person. He was a bit afraid of Li Xuewu, especially when Li Xuewu turned against him, pointing at his nose as if looking at a dead person.

Someone who could encourage you with a pleasant countenance, save you at a critical moment, and wake you up at a dangerous moment—would you be afraid of such a person?

The key was Li Xuewu's hot and cold attitude, which made him unable to grasp Li Xuewu's temper, so he was fearful.

Just like a golden gradient staring at you, you don't know if it's full, whether it will take you as lunch in the next moment, or add a meal.

The appearance of Fang Lining and Fu Linfang gave him a good opportunity.

Especially some information provided by the two, as well as the vicious evidence of Wang Jingzhang's treatment of those dissidents, were all winning treasures to overthrow Wang Jingzhang.

The ban notice issued by the Management Committee was requested by Zhang Guoqi, forcing Wang Jingzhang to jump over the wall like a dog, so he could close the door and beat the dog.

Once the opportunity appeared, he didn't hesitate at all, fully trusted Fang Lining and Fu Linfang, and swept away the Red Flag Society led by Wang Jingzhang in one fell swoop.

He believed that after today, those who participated in the activities of the Red Flag Society today, as well as those who didn't, wouldn't dare to show their faces in public.

And with the development and deepening of the "Great Study" activities, the Red Flag Society would eventually become history, naturally dying out silently.

There was only one activity organization group in the Steel Rolling Factory, and that was the Management Committee.

And under the Management Committee, there were only two formal organizations, and those were the Workers' Correction Team and the Propaganda Team.

The Propaganda Team had put in the most effort a while ago, competing with the Red Flag Society, doing propaganda for the establishment of the Management Committee, and maintaining the positive image of the "Great Study." Now it was the Workers' Correction Team's turn to put in some effort.

Speaking of putting in effort, the one who showed his face the most in the Workers' Correction Team this time was Zhang Guoqi's head horse, Liu Guangtian.

This kid was burly, had strong arms from exercising in the workshop, and the key was that he ran fast.

"Grass-on-the-Flying" of the Sihe Academy wasn't called that for nothing; the fire tongs his father threw couldn't hit him, so you can imagine how fast he ran.

Wang Jingzhang's small frame didn't even run thirty meters away before he was caught up.

Carrying Wang Jingzhang like a chick, he threw him onto the marking platform with a "clatter," making Wang Jingzhang faceless and almost fainting to death.

When criticizing Wang Jingzhang later, it was also this kid who shouted the loudest. Zhang Guoqi was extremely satisfied with him; it wasn't in vain that he had taught this kid for so long.

In such a situation of showing one's face, Liu Guangtian's name was naturally remembered by the surveillance personnel arranged by the Security Division here.

So Sun Jian clearly called out his name. Although Xiao Zihong didn't have time to pay attention to him for the time being, his name had already quietly entered the Security Division's blacklist.

Such a person was a key control object; even without problems, they would have to pick on him a few times. With today's incident, they could arrest him at any time in the name of public security control.

The important thing was that because of the incident in Workshop Seven today, the factory hospital was already bustling with activity.

"Another one coming!"

"What's the situation?"

"Maybe the leg is broken."

"Hit?"

"Eighty percent chance it was trampled."

"What about other parts? Any heavy bleeding?"

"Who knows? He says it hurts wherever I touch him, he just keeps shouting it hurts."

……

The queue had already started in front of the emergency room of the hospital. Many people were lying on stretchers, groaning, none of them having the style of shouting slogans in the workshop.

Even if one had to say they had style, it was a blood-stained style.

When the Workers' Correction Team rushed in, they panicked. There were too many people on the opposite side, and they had long lost the will to resist; they all wanted to run.

But the main gate was blocked, and there was only one small door; how many could run out?

So, now they were gathered together again at the entrance of the hospital emergency room.

A family that had agreed to be together, all neat and tidy~

The emergency room prioritized the most serious cases; those with broken arms and legs had to queue, while those with slightly lighter injuries were handled directly in the treatment room.

By the time Huang Shiwen got the news and rushed over, Fang Lining was luckily already in the queue.

Unfortunately, he couldn't open his eyes to see who was crying by his cart, and had no chance to see how he was pushed into the operating room.

A broken leg wasn't a big deal, but his problem was a bit serious; fractures or other conditions caused by trampling would definitely be accompanied by displacement and vascular rupture.

If it was an aortic rupture, then it was a big deal; his fainting now was a very good proof.

So when Huang Shiwen rushed here, she only had time to see Fang Lining for the last time before he entered the operating room.

She cried, her crying was very loud, unable to cover the surrounding shouts of pain. This crying, accompanied by painful screams, was so bleak and sorrowful.

She had once thought about this kind of passionate life; youth shouldn't be wasted, otherwise one would regret it for a lifetime.

But she was unfortunate, and also lucky; she suffered a big loss before even becoming a regular, and after being silent for many days, she finally realized that a plain life was the truth.

Fate always likes to joke with people; when she wanted to live a quiet life, it just wouldn't go her way.

Her boyfriend's stubbornness and unyielding nature made the two of them helplessly rolled and dragged by the wheels of the era to this point today.

If Fang Lining was gone, would she still have a chance to forgive him? Would she still have a chance to reason with him calmly? Would she still have a chance to be his beloved?

No, no chance.

Huang Shiwen, who was crying so hard now, knew that she had no chance, and she and Fang Lining had no chance either.

Just like time couldn't flow backward, she was still waiting for Fang Lining in the same place, but Fang Lining had already gone far away.

For so many days, she hadn't seen Fang Lining come to apologize to her, hadn't seen Fang Lining show even a trace of remorse, or come to admit his mistakes to her.

No, Fang Lining didn't, he was still in the Red Flag Society, completing his ridiculous and pathetic dream.

Huang Shiwen was disappointed, but disappointment couldn't stop her from coming here to see him the first time she heard the news.

According to the news she knew, Fang Lining was squeezed down by the panicked crowd of the Red Flag Society when the Workers' Correction Team rushed into the gate of Workshop Seven.

Fang Lining was short and a weak scholar; how could he stand firm among a group of workers?

So, he didn't even have time to say a word of help or mercy before he was forced to shout, "My leg!"

If he hadn't shouted so loudly, I'm afraid the Workers' Correction Team who came in later wouldn't have discovered him and arranged for him immediately.

If it weren't for this, and Zhang Guoqi, who was directing from behind, recognizing him, he would have been trampled to death in the workshop today.

Huang Shiwen leaned against the wall behind her and stood up, scanning the hospital lobby through teary eyes, but didn't find Fu Linfang's figure.

She wasn't deaf or blind; during this period, Fang Lining and Fu Linfang were coming in and out, how could she not know what was going on between them?

Even with Fang Lining's defense and argument that day, it didn't dispel her suspicion of her lover's unconventional relationship, and it grew day by day.

Now that something happened to Fang Lining, where was Fu Linfang?

Fu Linfang had arrived a bit earlier than her and had seen Fang Lining, who was still relatively sober.

It was Fang Lining who told Fu Linfang not to wait here, to find someone to protect her, or to find a place to hide; now was not the time to go to Zhang Guoqi to settle accounts.

Now the factory must be chaotic, no one would listen to their explanation, and the two only had contact with Zhang Guoqi; everyone in East Wind would determine them to be die-hard Red Flag members.

One could see a thing or two from the attitude of the people Zhang Guoqi arranged to send him; the other party didn't want to pay attention to her at all.

If his leg hadn't been broken and his life wasn't in danger, they might have beaten him.

It was also because they were too prominent; all the sharp language of the Red Flag Society against East Wind came from him and Fu Linfang.

It could be said that the Red Flag Society had its momentum yesterday, and more than half of it was their literary contribution.

The more they helped Red Flag, the greater the damage to East Wind, and East Wind's attitude toward them was naturally more vicious.

Today's incident was accidental, but also inevitable; Fang Lining had considered it long ago, in addition to his pain.

Compared to the pain at the spiritual level, the physical one only made him lose his ability to act.

What he was afraid of was that one day his spirit would have no place to stay.

If Zhang Guoqi had a conscience, or needed them to continue working, he could still give an annotation to what they did in the Red Flag Society.

But if Zhang Guoqi turned his face and didn't recognize people, going over at this time was just seeking death.

So after meeting with Fang Lining, Fu Linfang went to find someone.

Who could she find? Nothing more than those she knew, including Qin Huairu, Li Xuewu, and the others.

Huang Shiwen couldn't find Fu Linfang's figure, complaining that she had no benevolence or righteousness, not taking care of Fang Lining here, hating her for being shameless, and dragging Fang Lining down with her own degeneration.

By the time she ran out of the hospital to settle accounts with Fu Linfang, Fu Linfang had also hidden upstairs after being rejected by Qin Huairu.

Zhang Songying looked at the figure going upstairs, frowned, and asked Qin Huairu: "Why are you helping her?"

As she spoke, she twitched the corner of her mouth, scanned the movement outside the door, and then continued: "What if you bring the fire to the reception center!"

"Do you think we can stay out of it if we don't help her?"

Qin Huairu pinched her forehead helplessly. She had just rejected Fu Linfang's request because she knew her own weight and remembered Li Xuewu's instructions to her, not daring to touch factory matters easily.

At the same time, she also helped Li Xuewu reject Fu Linfang. Fu Linfang begged her to help eliminate the influence of the past, but she didn't have this ability; Li Xuewu did.

But Li Xuewu wasn't in the Steel Rolling Factory and could only contact the other party through Sha Qizhi.

Now there were people in the factory who didn't want Li Xuewu to return, and even less wanted Li Xuewu to get involved in these matters, so no one would really beg Sha Qizhi.

Li Xuewu obviously didn't want to touch the dirty matters in the factory either, and being away for a month was just right.

In this world, one can always share adversity, but not prosperity.

Li Xuewu's influence was already very great, and those people above were probably very willing for Li Xuewu to "disappear" for a month, missing this "feast" of re-dividing the cake.

Helping Fu Linfang was equivalent to indirectly intervening in the affairs of East Wind and Red Flag, which was equivalent to Li Xuewu having to enter the game; how could she dare to cause trouble for Li Xuewu?

So, Qin Huairu told Fu Linfang very clearly: If you want safety, go upstairs and open a room to hide; there's nothing else I can do.

After all, they were colleagues in the reception center for a few days, so Qin Huairu had done her best.

If it were really up to Zhang Songying's temper, she wouldn't be able to be so ruthless.

Zhang Songying also sighed, leaned helplessly against the bar, looked at the somewhat empty lobby, and muttered: "If it really goes on like this, we won't be able to do this business."

"Still thinking about your business, you're about to lose your life!"

Qin Huairu scolded her, reached out and tapped her forehead, and said: "Forgot what I told you? Peace and safety are the truth."

"I know~"

Zhang Songying glanced at the gate of the reception center. Although it wasn't closed, it seemed like there was an invisible door, helping them avoid danger.

These days Red Flag was making trouble, and East Wind was also making trouble; the factory wasn't peaceful, and she only hoped that Red Flag would fall and East Wind would also calm down.

Although it was safe here, that person wasn't there, so they never felt at ease.

Especially looking at Fu Linfang's panic and helplessness, she and Qin Huairu cherished their work in the reception center even more.

Because the factory was chaotic and the outside had begun to fully enter the "Great Study" activities, there were fewer visitors to the factory, no one was staying, and workers didn't want to come out at night, so the performance of the reception center had declined.

The once bustling swimming pool was much quieter; those playing in the water were all little children, heartless and lungless.

Zhang Songying looked lazily at the big sun outside the window, too hot to move, and the annoying things made her have no spirit.

"Really want a heavy rain, to wash away this filth..."

What is called "words follow deeds," what is called "a word becomes a prophecy," what is called "all wishes will come true"~

Friday, the rain started before dawn and poured down until noon.

The sky still didn't clear, overcast, and the dark clouds were very low.

The rain hadn't stopped for an hour before it started again, and it was even heavier than in the morning.

The old saying goes that the rain was smoking, and today's rain was just like that.

The surface temperature was high, the falling rain temperature was low, coupled with the urban heat island effect, it quickly formed rain fog.

Fu Linfang avoided the crowd and didn't go downstairs until after the lunch hour, just thinking about eating a quiet meal.

The canteen had received Qin Huairu's instructions and saved her food, but when she was holding the bowl and wanted to go to the canteen to eat, she "coincidentally" met Zhang Guoqi entering the door.

"Hey, this rain~ it's all in one piece."

Zhang Guoqi put away the umbrella in his hand, drained it into the flowerpot at the door, and then hung it on the door.

He smiled at Xiao Jin who came to greet him, took off the raincoat on his body, gestured to the rain boots on his feet, and said: "Sorry for the trouble."

Xiao Jin smiled and replied: "You're too polite, Director Zhang. You're well-prepared; wind and rain can't get through~."

"Hey~~~"

Zhang Guoqi said with a smile: "If you want to talk about wind and rain not getting through, it has to be your reception center~."

"You're joking~"

Xiao Jin glanced at Zhang Guoqi, then gestured toward the office direction and asked: "The lunch hour is over. Should I tell Director Zhang and ask the canteen to open a small stove for you?"

"No trouble, I've eaten."

As he spoke, he pointed to Fu Linfang, who was stunned in the small canteen, and said: "I'm here to find your Director Fu for something."

"Oh~"

Xiao Jin glanced at Fu Linfang, who was sitting in the canteen, rolled her eyes, and said with a smile: "Then you go ahead, I'll go make you a cup of tea."

"Good, good~ thanks, Xiao Jin~"

Zhang Guoqi watched Xiao Jin turn around with a smile, then stepped into the small canteen, walking straight to Fu Linfang's table with a clear goal.

He didn't say polite words either, sitting directly opposite Fu Linfang.

"Little Fu, just eating?"

Zhang Guoqi smiled and said: "I asked someone to find you yesterday, but I didn't expect you to come to work today. They even told me you weren't here."

"Uh... I went to a classmate's house yesterday."

Fu Linfang smoothed the hair by her ear, watched Zhang Guoqi's eyes glance toward the office direction, and knew he was talking about Qin Huairu and Zhang Songying.

Zhang Guoqi nodded indifferently; finding Fu Linfang yesterday and finding Fu Linfang today meant the same thing, and it didn't hinder his work.

Fu Linfang hadn't disappeared; the monk could run, but the temple couldn't.

"How is it? Are you okay?"

Zhang Guoqi looked Fu Linfang up and down with apparent concern and said with a smile: "I saw Fang Lining's matter, and I've made arrangements at the hospital, so you don't have to worry."

As he spoke, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, then added casually: "As long as you work for me, I will never let you suffer."

Fu Linfang only felt that the food on the table was difficult to swallow. What did the other party mean by this?

Threat?

What else could it be? He wanted to use them, but didn't trust them. He gave a sweet date, and naturally, he had to give another stick.

She had long told Fang Lining that selling one's life for Wang Jingzhang was the same as selling one's life for Zhang Guoqi; neither of them were good people.

If they were really good people, they wouldn't be able to cause so many things.

At that time, Fang Lining was stubborn and wouldn't listen to her persuasion, only saying that if Wang Jingzhang fell, Zhang Guoqi wouldn't be able to do anything to them.

But Fu Linfang now felt that Fang Lining was really wrong; they had moved from a shit nest to a urine nest, and there was no chance to get rid of the suffering they deserved.

Especially Zhang Guoqi's smile, which was even worse than today's weather—cold and gloomy.

Seeing Fu Linfang not speaking, her face pale, Zhang Guoqi smiled and reached out to pat Fu Linfang's hand on the table.

And when his hand touched the back of her hand, Fu Linfang shrank back as if stung by a bee or bitten by a poisonous snake.

"Sorry... sorry."

Fu Linfang also saw Zhang Guoqi's smile freeze on his face, she apologized nervously, but didn't dare to put her hand on the table again.

Zhang Guoqi's eyes narrowed, his smile deepened, and he said magnanimously: "It's okay~ I was just concerned about you."

As he spoke, he had already moved his butt to the seat next to Fu Linfang, his hand resting on the back of the chair behind her.

"You were forced to do it, right? Wang Jingzhang confessed yesterday."

Zhang Guoqi was filled with righteous indignation and said empathetically: "He really is a bastard. How could he do those things to you and Little Fang? He deserves his end today; he deserves it."

"He..."

Fu Linfang heard Zhang Guoqi mention her nightmare and couldn't help but ask: "Will he be dealt with?"

"Of course!"

Zhang Guoqi deliberately glared and said: "Whether it's that matter yesterday or the evidence you provided me, it will definitely knock him to the bottom."

"Look, didn't I come to see you right after reporting to the leadership?"

As he spoke, he gently patted Fu Linfang's arm, scanned her beautiful face, and said with a smile: "I sympathize with your encounter very much, and I am also very indignant at his behavior. It's all my fault."

In Fu Linfang's surprised gaze, Zhang Guoqi said remorsefully: "If I had seen his true face earlier and taken action earlier, you wouldn't have suffered this hardship."

"Please don't say that!"

Fu Linfang looked at Zhang Guoqi gratefully and said earnestly: "We still want to thank you for your support and help. Without you, we wouldn't be able to jump out of his devil's den."

"Oh! Hehe~"

Zhang Guoqi looked at Fu Linfang, who had turned her head, with a smile and said: "Is this your sincere words?"

"Of course~"

Fu Linfang was burned by Zhang Guoqi's gaze, quickly turned her head, looked at the food in front of her, and didn't dare to say anything more.

She had originally intended to flatter Zhang Guoqi to send him away quickly, but now it seemed that the other party had also set his sights on her.

Especially what Zhang Guoqi said next made her call herself miserable.

"Don't have pressure. You are my people now, and I will definitely protect you well."

Zhang Guoqi used the hand resting on the back of the chair to gently pat Fu Linfang's shoulder, as if he were holding her.

"The propaganda work you did in the Red Flag Society was very good. Come to East Wind, come to the Propaganda Team; I can arrange it, as long as you are obedient~"

Fu Linfang only felt cold all over; that big hand on her shoulder was like a poisonous snake spitting its tongue, staring at her.

Obedient?

What did it mean, what to obey, whose words to obey, what to do...

Fu Linfang only felt that she had nowhere to go, falling into the devil's den again.

Zhang Guoqi whispered in her ear about what Wang Jingzhang had confessed, about her situation, her family, and her parents' situation.

This wasn't concern at all; it was clearly a threat, wanting to control her and become the second Wang Jingzhang. What was it if not falling into the devil's den again!

Did she have the right to refuse and choose?

Ridiculous, I'm afraid that as long as she refuses or says something to contradict the other party, her parents would have to go far away tonight, maybe it would be a permanent farewell.

Also, her own affairs would probably be made public, and there would be no way for her to live.

The only thing she could do now was to be obedient to his words, her heart like dead ashes.

Xiao Jin, who came to deliver tea, glanced at Fu Linfang with full disdain and left without even greeting her.

Zhang Guoqi's hypocrisy and Fu Linfang's compromise were all seen by the people in the reception center.

They didn't want to ask what Fu Linfang was worried about; they only knew that Fu Linfang was harming herself.

It was fine if she couldn't figure it out before, but now that she was officially working, she still couldn't figure out her position; how ignorant must she be?

Even if it was a family burden, at this time, if she didn't send the handle herself, who would dare to do anything to her?

One mistake after another, there was no way back.

The overcast sky covered up how much ugliness, and also covered up the pair of eyes full of hatred and resentment outside the window of the small canteen.

Fang Lining hadn't woken up yet, but Fu Linfang had found a new backer...

"Huo! Who wrote this?"

"Don't know, could it be East Wind~"

"Impossible! Red Flag is gone, what wind can East Wind blow~"

"Then who wrote this? This matter is quite fancy!"

"It's just that I don't know if it's true or false, I'm afraid the truth level is a bit higher~"

"More than that, I heard from the service office..."

……

The heavy rain was still falling, but the latest white paper and black ink had been posted on the bulletin boards of various workshops, office buildings, and the entrance and exit blackboards of various units.

The title was "Fu Lin Zhen Fang?", and the content was the things Fu Linfang had done.

Including jumping ship from the Security Division, relying on Wang Jingzhang to become a section chief so she could be graded upon graduation.

Being abandoned in the reception center, not knowing how to be grateful, betraying Deputy Division Chief Li's kindness again, hooking up with Wang Jingzhang again, and doing ugly things in the Red Flag Society.

Shameless, betraying the Red Flag Society and relying on Zhang Guoqi, it could be called unprecedented and unrepeatable; what face does such a person have to survive in the world?

The most popular topic in the factory in the afternoon was this, even more enthusiastic than the topic in Workshop Seven yesterday.

You say where there was a fight, everyone discusses it for a while, but as long as it involves color, it's always a hot topic.

Especially a female college student, whose deeds ran through the entire development and competition of East Wind and the Red Flag Society, to the dust settling today, it really had a bit of drama.

Especially the bridge of Zhang Guoqi finally winning the beauty, which made everyone discuss it endlessly.

Even Li Huai De knew about it, called Zhang Guoqi over and scolded him, saying that he didn't handle things well and his tail was raised high.

The position originally promised to him was now vacant; Li Huai De's anger didn't subside, and this matter wasn't over.

Coming out of Director Li's office, Zhang Guoqi asked people to clean up those words, and at the same time arranged for people to find out who did it.

How long had the matter happened? In the end, it was found to be Huang Shiwen's doing, but Zhang Guoqi didn't know where to find this person.

The service office couldn't find her, of course. No one knew why Huang Shiwen would post these things; Zhang Guoqi was completely confused.

He was very sure that he had no relationship with this Huang Shiwen, the kind with no grievances in the past and no grudges in the present.

Also, from the perspective of the other party's college student status, even if there was a relationship with Fang Lining and Fu Linfang, it wouldn't go so far as to attack him.

The key was that from the information investigated, Huang Shiwen didn't participate in any "Great Study" activities and had nothing to do with this matter.

Zhang Guoqi was tired in heart and brain recently, the top of his head was already shining, the dandelions had long flown away, and a few stubbles were swaying there, unable to cover the scalp.

He was scratching his head hard now, thinking to the sky, but he couldn't figure out where he had offended this Huang Shiwen.

After work, he confirmed with the Workers' Correction people that all the words had been cleared, and then he got into the car with a frown.

The heavy rain continued, and the factory seemed to be slowly recovering its tranquility because of this heavy rain, or the disappearance of the Red Flag Society.

Just as everyone hoped, it was best if management and production order were slowly restored; everyone was annoyed by the recent trouble.

Huang Shiwen hadn't disappeared; she was in Fang Lining's hospital room, holding Fang Lining's hand, telling him what she saw and heard today, and how she helped Fang Lining take revenge.

The nurse looked at her muttering and hid out in fear. Only she was left in the hospital room at night to accompany Fang Lining.

Of course, she still liked Fang Lining. Although he wasn't outstanding, they were happy and happy when they were together.

It was all caused by this damn disturbance; they should have lived a peaceful and happy life, far away from the noise and clamor, without disputes and quarrels.

Huang Shiwen didn't know if her feelings for Fang Lining were love, but she just couldn't forgive the person who caused Fang Lining to be in this state while still being free outside.

She could forgive Fang Lining's mistakes, but couldn't let go of Fu Linfang, who dragged him into the water.

She didn't regret today's incident at all; she only felt refreshed now. She was in the mood to accompany Fang Lining well and wait for him to wake up.

Saturday, early morning.

The heavy rain stopped at some point, the sky was slightly bright, Huang Shiwen sat up from the hospital bed, looked at Fang Lining who was still sleeping, and smiled slightly.

"Good morning~"

After greeting affectionately, Huang Shiwen walked to the window, pulled open the white curtains, and looked at the morning after the rain.

But when she looked out the window, what was hanging on the big tree was clearly...

"Ah~!!!" ===== CHAPTER 786 =====
