Just because I’m the boss?
I’m still a militia member!
Even if I weren’t, it’s everyone’s responsibility to protect state assets…” Yan Fei argued fervently.
“Also, I dare to go because I am confident.
I’m not afraid of some people.
How would my parents know if you don’t tell them?”
Lin Baoguo suddenly found himself flustered, struggling to find counters to Yan Fei’s argument.
At the same moment, in an office in the county government compound, a brisk middle-aged man was presenting a similar argument: “What’s wrong with this?
I see it as taking responsibility.
On one hand, they are leading the locals to wealth, and on the other hand, they are protecting state assets to prevent loss.
Yes, it might be a bit rash without much concern for personal safety, but isn’t that spirit worth praising?”
Listening to this middle-aged man, the young man who was reporting to him stammered, “But I heard…
he just wants a free transport for his farm…”
Back in the police station office, Lin Baoguo, still irked, finally found his rebuttal: “Don’t try to scare me with big words.
All you want is that shabby tricycle.
Is it that necessary to use such grandiose reasons?
As the boss, you’re so stingy that you can’t even afford to buy a vehicle for your farm.
You even have the audacity to act as if you are in the right?”
Yan Fei had already prepared his response: “Even the landlords are without spare food!
I am at the early stage of entrepreneurship, conditions are tough, so why not save where I can!”
A similar scene was playing out in the city office.
The brisk middle-aged man paused for a while, a wry smile crossing his face before he said: “It shows how poor our conditions are!
Rural enterprises are struggling in their early stages.
To save money, even the small bosses are taking personal risk.
This is our mistake.
We are not providing enough support to our rural wealth leaders.
As the county party secretary, I feel shame… I haven’t provided more favorable conditions…”
Lin Baoguo was suffocated by Yan Fei’s argument and angrily retorted: “But you went to another township!
Consider their police station.
If something like this happens, can they simply ignore it?
Ultimately, it will all be blamed on you.
Don’t you realize you are exerting effort with no reward?”
“How is this an effort with no reward?” Yan Fei argued.
“Didn’t I seize a motorcycle?
As long as there are advantages, I’m not afraid if they blame me.
If they could maintain their jurisdiction well, how could I have encountered this?”
“You have the audacity to say that!
If you hadn’t been so thick-faced and forceful, would they give you the motorcycle?
These are tools of crime confiscated by the law court!
Without a judgement, you already took it and rode away…”
“I worked so hard for such a long time, why can’t I have some reward?
It’s a truck of dozens of tons of crude oil!
Can’t I just have the motorcycle?” Yan Fei’s argument left Lin Baoguo speechless.
“Besides, look at your consciousness!
It’s lower than mine.
Isn’t it a shared responsibility for everyone?”
In the office at the county, the man claiming to be the Party Secretary was saying something similar: “What is a motorcycle?
They’ve worked a whole night, no, not just a night.
It surely didn’t just happen coincidentally.
I suppose they must have patrolled for several days to encounter such an event.
It’s reasonable to reward their long-term hard work!
In my opinion, a motorcycle is not enough.
We need to give more support.”
“About the cross-township issue, Xiao Liu!
Not to criticize you, but now that you have been transferred to the county, you need a broader view.
You must understand the principle of serving the whole county.
Communicate with the township, don’t let misunderstandings build.
Mr.
Yan Fei’s cattle farming plan will surely be rolled out.
Their townships are adjacent.
They would normally be the first to benefit because of the closeness but don’t let this incident create a barrier…”
Back at the township police station, Lin Baoguo and Yan Fei were still arguing.
Eventually, both the station master and the township leading millionaire entrepreneur lost their bearings and started squabbling like children.
In the end, Lin Baoguo revealed his trump card: “Regardless, you know what’s going on.
This time you encountered criminals with homemade guns, what about next time?
My point represents the concern of your parents and grandfather.
In the end, they don’t want you to risk your life.
No matter how well you argue, if I am pressed, I will go and complain.
Let’s see how your mother reacts, she will probably worry herself to tears…”
“Oh right, you see, you’ve distracted me.
I forgot the important news.
I’m a high school student now.
I have to let my mom know, so they can celebrate.”
“I made you forget?
I distracted you?
You made me forget…” Yan Fei’s statement made Lin Baoguo almost jump in anger before catching himself.
“Aren’t you only in your second year of junior high school?
How did you become a high school student?”
Yan Fei gleefully shared his experience at school with Lin Baoguo.
After pondering for a moment, Lin Baoguo understood and said expressionlessly: “People are indeed not stupid, always thinking about things like this.
If they had used this time to improve their teaching quality and increase school enrollment rates, wouldn’t that be better?”
