A well-behaved girl was deceived while searching for her husband; she married a childless military o

Once the truth came out, Yang Wenyan immediately had the broadcaster announce the incident to the entire factory.

At the same time, a general meeting of all factory employees was held, where not only was the big-character poster incident reported, but several previous incidents were also brought up one by one.

With the year drawing to a close, Yang Wenyan really didn't want anything else to happen at the factory so that he could have a good New Year.

At the same time, Yang Wenyan also told everyone about a major event concerning Longcheng.

That is, the higher authorities will send inspection teams down to inspect the city's work.

This is no easy task for the city's leadership team.

Because if something major happens in the city, the entire city leadership team could very well be replaced.

There was a county where a vicious assault occurred, so everyone from the county party secretary to the county head and deputy county head was replaced.

Yang Wenyan told the food factory employees not to cause trouble and to behave themselves, saying that any problems could be dealt with after the New Year.

After the meeting, Qiao Lanshu was filled with worry, her mind preoccupied with something.

In her previous life, she remembered that the city had a new Party Secretary, and since the leader had changed, the leadership team naturally had to be replaced as well.

That same year, many things happened in Longcheng.

However, because Qiao Lanshu was not in good physical or mental health at the time, he did not pay much attention to these things.

Now that I think about it, could it be that something big happened in Longcheng at the end of the year that led to the change of leadership?

Everything is very stable in Longcheng now. If the Party Secretary is replaced, many other people will also be replaced.

These days, espionage is so sophisticated. What if some bad people are brought in?

Qiao Lanshu wondered if these things were related to Qin Yuanzheng almost being blown up in his previous life.

Wang Xue and Qiao Lanshu walked out of the lobby together, and Wang Xue accompanied her towards the warehouse. Wang Xue said, "Qiao, what are you thinking about?"

Qiao Lanshu shook her head: "No."

Wang Xue smiled and said, "I've been in meetings all morning and forgot to congratulate you. You're going to be a mother!"

Qiao Lanshu nodded somewhat embarrassedly: "I didn't expect that either."

Wang Xue then added, "By the way, Deng Weijun and my daughter Haitang get along quite well. I reckon by the end of the year, our two families will be discussing marriage. I asked Haitang, and she thinks Deng Weijun is a good guy and says she's willing to be with him."

Qiao Lanshu: "Really? That's great! They're quite a good match."

Wang Xue said happily, "Of course! Deng Weijun's sister is a nice person. She's about to have her vacation, and Haitang might be going back to her hometown. I was thinking of having Deng Weijun give her a ride so that the two of them could have more time alone together."

Wang Xue kept talking, and when they were almost at the warehouse entrance, she finally said goodbye to Qiao Lanshu.

After Wang Xue left, Qiao Lanshu's smile faded.

She wasn't sure if she was overthinking it, but she had a feeling that something bad might happen in Longcheng City as the year drew to a close.

Because of this, Qiao Lanshu was absent-minded all afternoon.

……

On the other hand, after the factory's general meeting, Liu Weihong left the factory in tears.

She was demoted, her salary was reduced, and she was gossiped about by people in the factory.

She has always been concerned about her image and enjoys being fawned over, so she can't stand this.

So she ran home crying.

Liu Weihong's younger brother, Liu Weidong, happened to be at home;

Liu Weidong is in his early twenties, with slightly long hair and a lot of acne on his face. His facial features are quite similar to Liu Weihong's.

He was wearing a green military overcoat and a military cap that was askew on his head. He was sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed) in the house with a young man dressed similarly, drinking tea and eating melon seeds.

As soon as he saw Liu Weihong come in, he called out, "Sis, why are you back at this hour? Aren't you going to work?"

While wiping away her tears, Liu Weihong said, "What kind of work am I supposed to do? I'm being bullied to death at the factory. I lost my supervisor position and now I've been demoted to a regular employee, only receiving a second-level salary."

Upon hearing this, Liu Weidong immediately became furious. His face darkened, and he said fiercely, "What? That Yang Wenyan dares to demote you? Why don't you go to my brother-in-law? He's a section chief; just have him put in a good word for you!"

Liu Weihong sat on the chair next to her, her eyes red, and said, "What brother-in-law? We haven't even registered our marriage yet."

Liu Weidong immediately said in a carefree manner, "You two are living together now, so what else should I call you but brother-in-law? Sis, you're just being too reserved. I've told you before, men like gentle women, so be gentle with your brother-in-law..."

Liu Weihong usually dotes on her younger brother, so Liu Weidong speaks without restraint.

Now, it's unclear what exactly triggered Liu Weihong's outburst, but she suddenly stood up, pointed at Liu Weidong, and yelled:

"Gentle, gentle, all you know is gentleness. What good is gentleness? You lie on the bed all day, wasting your time, lazy and ignorant. If I didn't give you money, you wouldn't even be able to afford a cigarette. And you still think I'm not gentle enough?"

Liu Weidong: "..."

Liu Weidong and his brother next to him were baffled by Liu Weihong's scolding.

Liu Weidong casually tossed the sunflower seed shells on the ground, stood up, and said, "Sis, why are you so angry? It's not that I dislike you, I was talking about my brother-in-law... Okay, okay, don't glare at me like that, I won't say anything more, alright?"

Liu Weihong sat angrily in the chair, still feeling wronged.

Liu Weidong walked over and asked her, "Sister, was it that person who bullied you? The warehouse manager you mentioned, the one surnamed Qiao?"

Liu Weihong cried and said, "Who else could it be but her? She thinks she can do whatever she wants just because she has a military officer husband. If it weren't for her, I would still be in my supervisory position."

That Qiao Lanshu, how could she be so annoying!

Liu Weihong felt an intense hatred in her heart.

Liu Weidong had spent a lot of time hanging out on the streets and had a group of close friends around him.

They all relied on family connections to avoid being sent to the countryside, but they refused to work properly and only wanted to eat, drink, and have fun.

When Liu Weidong saw his sister being bullied, he immediately slammed his fist on the table and said fiercely, "She's a lowly slut from out of town, all alone, and she thinks she can ride roughshod over us just because of her officer husband's power? Sister, don't worry, I'll teach her a lesson right now and make her beg and apologize to you."

Bending down and kowtowing to apologize is out of the question; after all, they are military officer family members and have some power.

However, scaring Qiao Lanshu a little to teach her a lesson is not out of the question.

Thinking of this, Liu Weihong did not stop Liu Weidong.

Liu Weidong and his brother came out of the house, took the car keys, and drove his father's car away.

His father was the head of the personnel department in a key county, with extensive connections, including people in the province.

His brother-in-law was the head of the provincial supply department, and Liu Weidong, having worked in the revolutionary committee for so many years, also knew some of his brothers.

He also had some family members in the military. He felt confident that with his extensive network and power, he could easily scare away a girl from out of town.

The guy sitting next to him said, "Brother Dong, they haven't finished get off work yet, have they? If we go over now, we can't get into the factory to look for them."

Liu Weidong sneered, "Getting her out here isn't difficult, is it? We can just say that her family came to see her, or that her husband sent someone to find her. In short, we have plenty of excuses. Let's get her out here first, and then she'll be in for a beating."
