Married to a man in Northwest China, the delicate wife with a soft waist is spoiled rotten by the ro

Chapter 52 I feel disgusted just listening to you talk.

Liu Lan, used to it, rolled her eyes and said, "Open your dog eyes and take a good look. This is our office's new liaison officer."

"Zhang Qiang, when are you going to change your arrogant and conceited nature? You don't even know the situation before you start cursing people. It's no wonder you're thirty and still can't find a wife. Do you come out without brushing your teeth every morning so that your breath can kill people? That way, no one can talk back to you?"

After saying that, Liu Lan raised her hand and waved it, looking disgusted.

Having his sore spot touched, Zhang Qiang glared angrily, let out a heavy snort, and rammed between the two men.

He took his bag off and placed it on the table, making quite a commotion. "Comrade Liu Lan, I'm warning you, don't use my personal relationship status as a shield anymore, and please don't insult my hygiene. I brush my teeth diligently every morning. It's working hours now, please stop gossiping!"

Liu Lan's eyes were practically rolling to the sky.

If it weren't for the new person, she would have exposed all the disgusting things Zhang Qiang had done in the past!

"Don't pay any attention to him. That's just how he is. You'll see how disgusting he is once you spend more time with him."

Liu Lan is outspoken and straightforward.

Zhang Qiang was furious. "Liu Lan, I advise you not to push your luck!"

Liu Lan acted as if she hadn't heard his roar, and pulled Ji Sisi to sit in another empty seat. "This is your seat. Director Yan should be here a while. You can sit down and read a book. I have something to do, so I won't chat with you."

Ji Sisi nodded, "It's alright, Sister Lan, you go ahead with your work."

Then Ji Sisi picked up a red book from the table and quietly started reading it by herself.

A knock on the door broke the quiet.

Huang Qiaomei walked in front, followed by a middle-aged man wearing a pure white short-sleeved shirt, black trousers, a square face, a neat buzz cut, and fine lines around his eyes. He was a head taller than Huang Qiaomei.

"Director Yan, this is Ji Sisi, whom I'm introducing."

After Huang Qiaomei finished her introduction, she gave up the main seat to Yan Hongbing.

Yan Hongbing extended his hand, "Hello, Comrade Xiao Ji. Thank you for your hard work as the liaison officer during this period. If you have any questions, you can ask Liu Lan and Zhang Qiang, or you can ask me."

"Director Yan, please rest assured, I will do my best to do my job well."

After a brief greeting, Yan Hongbing returned to his office.

The office fell silent again.

Zhang Qiang felt extremely uncomfortable whenever he thought about how Liu Lan had embarrassed him in front of the newcomers. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

He was a veteran in the office, and Liu Lan's senior, yet she treated him so disrespectfully with a newcomer.

And Director Yan, I've never seen Director Yan smile so happily when he came. Is it because Ji Sisi is pretty that she is treated differently?

How superficial! Can beauty put food on the table? He'll definitely prove to the director that choosing Ji Sisi was a mistake!
"Hey you, go tell Captain Ma of the Sixth Team to come over. Director Yan has something to say to him."

Zhang Qiang suddenly spoke, breaking the quiet atmosphere.

Ji Sisi was taken aback. "Am I going alone?"

Zhang Qiang suddenly started ordering her around in an unfriendly tone. Ji Sisi felt a little unsure, as if this wasn't her job and she was being targeted.

Liu Lan slammed her pen on the table with a loud bang.

“Zhang Qiang, don’t be a toad crawling on your feet. You’re not biting people, but you’re disgusting. Sisi isn’t a local. How would she know where the Sixth Team is? Besides, Director Yan assigned this task to you last week. You’re supposed to be a member of the Sixth Team, but you can’t even get your own people to come. You’re ordering outsiders around.”

Zhang Qiang picked up the documents and slammed them heavily on the table, making quite a commotion.

"Liu Lan, can you watch your mouth? If you keep this up, I'm going to report your behavior and moral character to Director Yan! If you get sent to reform school, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Ji Sisi frowned slightly. She knew that in this day and age, crimes could be serious or minor, and in some backward areas, vigilante justice still existed.

But Zhang Qiang's behavior is a bit too outrageous. After saying just a few words, he's already making a fuss about sending someone for rehabilitation.
Just as Ji Sisi was about to speak, the person next to her retorted.

"Shut up, I feel nauseous just listening to you. I'm going with Sisi."

Liu Lan glared at Zhang Qiang and led Ji Sisi outside.

"It didn't scare you, did it?"

Ji Sisi shook her head. "No, I'm just curious why Zhang Qiang can't get his own people to cooperate. Is it because Captain Ma of the Sixth Team is difficult to get along with? Or is there some other reason?"

Zhang Qiang's sudden departure was undoubtedly an attempt to intimidate her.

“It’s not that they’re difficult to get along with.” Liu Lan clicked her tongue. “Team Six is ​​the poorest production team in Huaihua Commune. For three consecutive years, their production has lagged far behind the other production teams. You know, Huaihua Commune is poor to begin with, and Team Six is ​​even worse…”

Liu Lan didn't want to dwell on this anymore, so she waved her hand and said, "This isn't the main issue. The main issue is that last month, the agricultural supplies institute took a liking to the land in Team Six and selected several acres to use as experimental plots for planting newly developed potatoes."

The production of the sixth team was already lagging behind, and the few good plots of land they had were taken away.

When it came time to hand over grain to the public treasury in August, he was still required to deliver the same amount as other teams, which made him a little resentful. Director Yan had called him to report on the potato growth in the experimental plot, but he was always late, making excuses each time.

Ji Sisi wondered, wouldn't it be a good thing if a new variety of potato could be developed? It could increase production.

Liu Lan walked under the awning, took the bicycle, and called to Ji Sisi.

"Let's go, I'll carry you there. I don't want to stay with Zhang Qiang anyway."

On the way to the sixth team, Ji Sisi learned from Liu Lan that Zhang Qiang had been in the office for five years, was a person with a strong sense of superiority, and was also a trusted and capable assistant of Director Yan.

During this time, many people left the office because of his anger. The previous liaison officer was pregnant and was so angry with Zhang Qiang that she started bleeding. Only then did Director Yan agree to transfer her to another position and give Zhang Qiang a scolding.

Zhang Qiang had just managed to restrain himself a little, but unexpectedly, he reverted to his old ways after only a month.

Ji Sisi sat in the back seat with a calm expression.

Someone who stays in the same position for five years without being promoted must either have an incompetent leader or be an incompetent person. Based on what Huang Qiaomei and Liu Lan said, Ji Sisi was convinced that Zhang Qiang was the latter, someone who loved to put on a show.

Once Liu Lan started talking, she couldn't stop. Thanks to her, Ji Sisi was able to quickly understand the interpersonal relationships and current situation of Huaihua Commune.

"We've arrived. This is the Sixth Team's office."

The bicycle screeched to a halt, followed by a sharp, piercing sound of brakes.

Ji Sisi got out of the car and waited for Liu Lan to park the car before they went inside together.

The office of the sixth team was a simple mud house with a bumpy floor, wires wrapped around the beams, a small round light bulb hanging in the middle, and a long table made of school desks pieced together. The room was poorly lit, with the only light source coming from the two windows.

These conditions are truly deserved.

There was a woman sitting inside, looking down at the register, completely unaware that someone was at the door.

Liu Lan knocked on the rickety door. "Li Yanhong, where's your uncle?"

Hearing the voice, Li Yanhong looked up, smiled, and stood up to greet her.

"Sister Lan, what brings you here? Please have a seat, I'll pour you some water."
