Chapter 141

I saw an old lady pushing a cart with a load of firewood on it with great difficulty.

Five or six children stopped her and wouldn't let her go forward.

A child suddenly pushed the old lady from behind and knocked her to the ground.

The bundled wood was scattered all over the ground.

The old man fell to the ground, wailing helplessly.

The children gathered around the old lady and laughed at her. Two of them even took out pieces of paper and hit her, singing humiliating songs while hitting her:
"On a white Sunday morning, the old men who pick up garbage line up in a row. When the leader gives a command, they rush to the garbage dump. When the leader bends down, he picks up a rotten schoolbag. When the leader is happy, he picks up a telescope. When the leader is angry, he farts. Whoever farts loudly becomes the line leader, whoever farts stinkily becomes the professor, and whoever farts quietly or not stinkily gets a beating."

At the end of the song, the child suddenly jumped in front of the old lady and farted loudly.

The others burst into laughter.

"Damn, these little bastards are too bullying."

Jia Dongxu just thought that the people in this place might not be that bad, but he was slapped in the face in the blink of an eye.

At this time, the child saw a car coming.

One of them shouted, "Someone is coming! Run!", and immediately all six children ran away laughing.

Xiao Zhou looked back at Jia Dongxu and said with a smile, "Director Jia, you see, it's the remote areas that give rise to unruly people. Who would live in a Guangzi area if they were normal?"

Li Jiandong didn't know the whole story, but judging from the scene before him, it seemed that a group of uneducated children were bullying an old man.

So, he said to Xiao Zhou, "Stop ahead."

Xiao Zhou didn't care what Li Jiandong wanted to stop for. Since the leader said so, he stopped.

After getting off the car, Li Jiandong went over to help the old lady up, asked about her injuries, and then he, Jia Dongxu and Xiao Zhou helped her load the firewood into the car.

The old lady didn't cry when she was bullied, but she started crying when she saw someone coming to help her.

"Thank you, thank you. Good people will be rewarded. Thank you."

She didn't talk much, she just kept saying thank you.

Li Jiandong simply played the good guy and stuffed ten yuan into her pocket before getting in the car and leaving.
On the way back, Jia Dongxu felt a little uncomfortable.

Just now, the old lady, who was about the same age as her mother, was bullied by a group of children but no one came to help. It seemed that everyone was used to this kind of thing.

I don’t know what my mother will do when I go out. She likes to curse so much, and I might be bullied.

"Dongxu, what are you thinking about?"

Li Jiandong noticed that Jia Dongxu was in a bad mood.

"No, Master, I didn't think anything."

Jia Dongxu was embarrassed to say that he missed home as he had only been out for less than a day.

Li Jiandong laughed. He guessed what Jia Dongxu was feeling sad about, and said with a smile, "Did you see the old lady just now and think of your mother? Don't worry, when you are not at home, we still have Lao Liu and Lao Yan, as well as Captain Hu and Zhuzi, the deputy director of the street. No one dares to bully the people in our hospital."

"Besides, your mother and your wife are not easy to bully. It's good enough that they don't bully others."

After hearing Li Jiandong's comfort, Jia Dongxu felt better.

Back at the western-style building, Li Jiandong and Jia Dongxu got out of the car.

Xiao Zhou asked: "Director Li, are you going out tonight?"

"I shouldn't go out, what's wrong?"

"Nothing. If you don't want to go out, I'll go back first and come back tomorrow morning to wait. Is that okay with you?"

Xiao Zhou is different from Xu Zhengyang. Although Xu Zhengyang also drives for Li Jiandong, his real identity is a bodyguard. Xiao Zhou is just an ordinary driver and does not need to follow Li Jiandong 24 hours a day.

This time when coming to Jilin and Liaoning, the top leader did not let Xu Zhengyang come along after careful consideration.

Otherwise, for an ordinary deputy department-level official to bring a Nanzhonghai bodyguard with him, isn't this an attempt to cover up one's own guilt?
Even if others don't know where Li Jiandong came from, they will doubt his identity when they see such a powerful bodyguard around him.

So before coming here this time, the big boss just told Li Jiandong to keep a low profile as much as possible and not to reveal his identity as the president of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers.

Li Jiandong has Observation Haki and dynamic vision, so he doesn't worry about his own safety at all. He feels more comfortable without anyone following him.

After going back and eating something, Li Jiandong went down to bed early to rest.

at the same time.

In the movie, at Zhou Rong's parents' house, a woman with a slim figure and delicate face was knocking on the door.

"Is anyone there? Is anyone home?"

Zhou Bingkun pushed open the door and walked out. He was fascinated by this beautiful woman at first sight.

He stared at the woman with his eyes wide open, as if the whole world had disappeared and only he and the woman in front of him were left.

Zheng Juan had experienced this kind of gaze many times before. If it were any other time, she would have run away long ago.

But not today.

She came here to ask something important, so she could only endure the other person's naked gaze and continued to ask, "Hello, I live in the alley in front of your house. I want to ask if a leader came to your house today?"

Zhou Bingkun came back to his senses when he heard Zheng Juan talking.

He quickly swallowed his saliva and said:
"Ah? What did you say?"

Zheng Juan was speechless and said, "I want to ask, is there a leader coming to your house by car today?
He helped my mom when he passed by my house today. I wanted to find out where he lives so I could go over and thank him."

Zhou Bingkun heard it clearly this time.

However, he didn't know where Li Jiandong lived, and Li Jiandong didn't leave them his address when he left.

Suddenly, Zhou Bingkun remembered what Li Suhua had told him during dinner, that his brother-in-law's master seemed to have come to the iron ore factory to do construction.

So I quickly replied: "I know, he is the leader of the newly established iron ore factory, you will definitely find him there."

"Thank you, may I ask if you know his name?"

"Yes, his name is Li Jiandong, and he is my brother-in-law's master."

Zhou Bingkun quickly took the opportunity to build relationships, as if this would make the girl in front of him look at him more.

However, this is not the case.

After hearing his introduction, Zheng Juan finally understood why the leader came to this dirty and messy piece of paper. It turned out that there was such a relationship.

My brother-in-law’s master, this is not a close relationship.

The living environment gap between the two sides is so huge that if a new leader were to take over, he would probably not bother to deal with people with bare letters.

However, he did not despise me but came to visit me actively. It seems that he must be a senior leader who values ​​feelings.

Zheng Juan came here this time to ask about Li Jiandong's residence, but she didn't just come to thank him.

Now, having found out Li Jiandong's name and where he might appear, she said thank you twice and left.

the next day.

When Li Jiandong got up in the morning, the servant had already prepared breakfast, including a large table of steamed buns, fried dough sticks, noodles, etc., enough for five or six people.

“How did you do so much?”

Li Jiandong asked with a frown.

"It was ordered by Director Gao. He said he didn't know your taste, so he asked us to make a few more dishes and then cook according to your preferences."

Li Jiandong was speechless: "Then why don't you just ask directly?"

"You are the leader, how can I ask you this?"

The servant woman lowered her head and said this in a very humble manner.

Li Jiandong knew that this was not her fault, and it could only be said that the golf team took her too seriously.

He sighed and said, "I like to eat salty and fresh food. Fried and slightly spicy are also OK. Just cook according to these flavors in the future. Don't waste food."

"Yes."

The servant agreed and went on to do other things.

After breakfast, Li Jiandong prepared to go to the mine to take a look.

Although he was just here for the formality, he couldn't just do nothing.

Jia Dongxu is still young, so he needs to be shown some things. When he opened the door, Xiao Zhou was already waiting outside, chatting with Jia Dongxu while cleaning the car.

Seeing Li Jiandong coming out, Jia Dongxu shouted, "Master, have you eaten?"

"We've eaten. Let's go and take a look around the mine first."

The two got in the car and soon arrived at the iron ore factory.

I went to say hello to Gao Qiu first. Li Jiandong was not coming here for a secret visit, so saying hello before doing anything could avoid a lot of conflicts.

Gao Qiu was very happy to see that he came to him on his own initiative, and he personally accompanied him to visit the mining area.

The iron mine has just begun construction and has not yet been officially mined. However, because it is an open-pit mine, this initial construction should not take too long.

"By the way, Director Gao, there is an eighth-level construction worker named Zhou Zhigang working on our construction site. Where is he now?"

Li Jiandong and Gao Qiu were strolling around casually, and when they saw the construction workers next to them, they thought of Zhou Zhigang.

I came here to supervise the mining area. Zhou Zhigang also works here. I can't just stay so close to him without even saying hello.

"Zhou Zhigang? I really don't know. Are you acquainted with him?"

Gao Qiu is not involved in construction, and he has not been the mine manager for long, so it is normal that he does not know Zhou Zhigang.

Li Jiandong said: "I have met him once. He is my apprentice's father-in-law."

Gao Qiu couldn't help but feel relieved when he heard about this relationship. As long as it wasn't a petition, it would be fine. "There's a construction site ahead. The construction team leader there should know him. How about we go over and ask him?"

"Okay, we'll just go around anyway, so let's go take a look ahead."

Li Jiandong said with a smile, and then he and Gao Qiu walked towards the construction site in front.

As a result, just when he was halfway through, a security guard ran over and said, "Director Gao, Director Li, there is a girl outside looking for you. She said she is a Guangzi film and is the girlfriend of your apprentice."

"Oh? Zhou Rong is back?"

When Li Jiandong heard about the Guang character piece and the apprentice object, his first reaction was that Zhou Rong had returned to her hometown.

He said to Gao Qiu, "Director Gao, this Zhou Rong is the candidate for my apprenticeship. Can you trouble the security comrades to bring her here? It's a good opportunity for us to meet her father together."

"Of course you can. Hey, please invite them in. Hurry up."

Gao Qiu gave instructions to the security guard, who agreed and ran back.

Li Jiandong and Gao Qiu continued walking towards the construction site ahead and soon arrived at the destination.

Gao Qiu asked the construction team leader and found out that Zhou Zhigang happened to be at the construction site. He shouted over there and soon someone came over here.

Li Jiandong's clairvoyance had already identified the person as Zhou Zhigang. Zhou Zhigang had aged a lot after not seeing him for a few years. A fifty-year-old man exposed to the wind and sun all day looked like he was in his sixties.

"Captain Wu, you're looking for me?"

Zhou Zhigang walked over and greeted the construction team leader before he saw Li Jiandong.

The construction team leader took his hand cordially and introduced him: "Lao Zhou, this is our factory manager Gao. He brought you an old acquaintance."

"Old acquaintance?"

Zhou Zhigang had met Director Gao once and recognized him as the man who was as fat as a ball. He looked past him and to the side, and suddenly he was stunned.

"Are you, Deputy Director Li?"

Zhou Zhigang felt a little unbelievable when he saw Li Jiandong.

Isn’t the other party in North City?

Why did you come to Jilin?
Moreover, after so many years, I seem to have aged ten years, while Li Jiandong still looks so young, only in his early thirties.

"Brother Zhou, long time no see."

Li Jiandong walked up to Zhou Zhigang and greeted him with a smile.

Gao Qiu next to him also introduced: "Master Zhou, Director Li has been transferred to our mine as a leader. You and Director Li are old acquaintances, so you must say more good things about our mine in front of him."

Zhou Zhigang is just an honest worker. Although he is an eighth-level worker, he has no temper.

I felt a little embarrassed when I heard that and didn't know what to say.

Li Jiandong changed the subject and told Zhou Zhigang about what happened when he went to his house yesterday. After hearing this, Zhou Zhigang was very grateful for Li Jiandong's help. His family's life was not very good due to various reasons. Li Jiandong didn't bring much, but it was able to improve his family's life.

The two had a lot in common when talking about family, and Gao Qiu would occasionally chime in.

Li Jiandong suddenly said, "By the way, Zhou Rong is back too. When I went to your house yesterday, I didn't see her. She should have come back after we left. Now she's coming to our mine. Why hasn't she come yet?"

Li Jiandong looked back at the road he had come from, but there was no sign of Zhou Rong.

However, the security guard came back with a beautiful young girl.
The girl was only about sixteen or seventeen years old. She was very pretty and had tender and fair skin, which was completely different from the rough skin of women of that era.

Soon, Zheng Juan came closer, and Director Gao asked with a smile: "Director Li, is this your apprentice's lover? She looks really young."

Zheng Juan is only 16 years old this year, but she doesn't look young.

Mine Manager Gao was confused, but he didn't show it.

Instead, Jia Dongxu said, "Director Gao, you must have misunderstood. We don't know this woman."

"do not know?"

Gao Qiu was stunned. How could the person find this place if he didn't know him?
Are there still many people in Dajiliao who know your identities?
Oh, I see. Maybe I was too lonely after I went home last night, so...

Gao Qiu quickly thought of something. Seeing how beautiful Zheng Juan was, it was no wonder that Director Li couldn't hold back.

Not only Gao Qiu thought so, other people in the mine also had similar thoughts, and even Zhou Zhigang was confused.

However, Zhou Zhigang had met Li Jiandong once and knew him well. Besides, if that was really the case, why did he say that his daughter was here?
It was obvious that Li Jiandong didn't know that it was someone else who came before?

"Hey, who are you anyway? Why are you pretending to be someone else to get close to my master?"

Jia Dongxu's tone was not very good. Although the girl in front of him was very pretty, she disguised herself as Lou Guangqi's wife to get close to his master. Who knew if she had bad intentions?
Jia Dongxu knew that Li Jiandong had been targeted by enemy spies before. They had just arrived in Jilin and Liaoning yesterday, and someone came to find them under a false name the next day. Jia Dongxu now doubted Li Jiandong's true identity.

Li Jiandong, on the contrary, was very calm. His observation Haki did not sense any hostility, but he also doubted the identity of the girl in front of him.

At this time, Zheng Juan had already figured out from everyone's conversation who was Li Jiandong. Without saying a word, she knelt down and kowtowed three times.

This scene completely stunned everyone.

"Girl, what do you mean?"

Li Jiandong finally spoke up. He guessed that the other party had something to ask for, but why did he come to him? Could it be that the injustice was so great that no one in Jilin and Liaoning dared to deal with it, so they had to come to him, an outsider?

Hearing his question, Zheng Juan spoke:
"Master Li, I'm here to thank you. My mother was bullied yesterday, and you helped her drive away the bully and sent her things back home. I went to Zhou's house to ask around, and then I came here. Thank you for helping my mother so much."

Gao Qiu and others were confused by what they heard. They had never heard Li Jiandong mention that such a thing happened last night.

Jia Dongxu also breathed a sigh of relief:

"No, girl, you came all the way here to kowtow to my master just for such a small matter?"

Li Jiandong also said:

"It's just a small favor. It's nothing for us. You can go back and take care of your mother. You don't need to thank me."

Zheng Juan did come here this time to thank Li Jiandong, but this was only one of her purposes, and a relatively minor one at that. She had something to ask for.

Because she is so pretty, she was targeted by a "wealthy family" in Guangzi Pian. The child yesterday was found by that family. He waits for Zheng Juan's mother on the road almost every day. As soon as her mother goes out, he will go up to her and pick a fight with her, and sometimes even beat her up.

As for the reason, it was that one of the parents in their family had taken a fancy to Zheng Juan, but he already had a wife and didn't want to divorce, so the implication was that he just wanted to have some fun.

A group of thugs blocked Zheng Juan's door all day long, forcing her to be afraid to go out. They then attacked her mother, the only one who went out.

Zheng Juan had gone to the people from the street before, but no one helped her solve the problem. The street was already very messy, not to mention that the other party was the largest family in the street. Even the police station couldn't control them.

This time, Zheng Juan suddenly heard that a leader came by car and helped her mother. She felt it was a hope, so she asked around and found Li Jiandong, hoping to get hold of Li Jiandong's thigh and make that family afraid to act rashly.

At this moment, although she had already expressed her gratitude, Zheng Juan did not intend to stand up, but continued to kneel there and said:

"Leader, you are a good person, please stay a good person. As long as you can take in my mother and brother, I will work like a slave to repay you. Otherwise, our family will be bullied to death in Guangzi sooner or later."

"Hey, what's wrong with you? So we helped you in the wrong way, right? No wonder Xiao Zhou said that there's no good person in your Guangzi film. You look like a human being, but why don't you have any humanity?"

Jia Dongxu's words even made Zhou Zhigang, who was standing next to him, curse him.

However, Zhou Zhigang also agreed with this statement. He had lived in Guangzi Pian for so many years, and there were indeed few serious people there.

Zheng Juan's nose twitched, her eyes turned red and she said:
"Master, I admit that what I did was wrong, but I had no choice. Ma Daqiang's family was so powerful that they blocked my door all day and forced me to be his concubine. I didn't agree, so they came to my house every day to make trouble. The street office couldn't do anything about it. They could only let me figure it out on my own. What could a woman like me do? It would be better for me to die than for him to let me obey him."
