Li Jian waved his hand, "It won’t be that reckless. I’ve already ordered from Bai County yesterday to suspend Liu Guoyi for investigation, and about the City Gate Police Station, although Liu Guoyi has greeted Chief Zhou Zong, Zhou Zong’s involvent in minor tampering is one aspect. But Liu Guoyi doesn’t have that much influence; the fundantal reason is Liu Guoyi’s deep relationship with Vice County Magistrate Duan, who was the one who promoted him in Bai County."
At this point, Lin Chuxia already understood clearly.
Although Bai County intervened, it was still his subordinates who caused the trouble, and they were the ones he vouched for.
"After all, although this incident has had a big impact, Xiyang Food Factory hasn’t suffered substantial losses. Just in case, I an only if, the outco doesn’t et your expectations, don’t take it too seriously, because after all..."
Li Jian looked at her worriedly, his words trailed off, but his expression said it all.
Having lived two lifetis, Lin Chuxia would not be confounded by such an incident.
Rationally, she knew this could be the end of the matter, but emotionally, she felt stifled.
Seeing he hadn’t spoken, Li Jian continued, "Liu Guoyi is now suspended for investigation. Although he was the mastermind behind the scenes, he is quite astute and hasn’t left any evidence. Eventually, his cousin will take all the responsibility, and Liu Guoyi will at most face a minor disciplinary action for negligence. At his age, with no hope for promotion, another disciplinary record is inconsequential to him. As for the others, they might not even receive a penalty, with no evidence, at most a warning."
Lin Chuxia held her cup, her fingertips slightly white, her delicate face becoming ever more cold and stern.
Finally, she slamd the cup down on the table, "This can’t just be let go. Liu Guoyi has crossed swords with Xiyang Food Factory not just once. If it were fair competition, no matter the outco, Xiyang Food Factory would accept it. But now he uses such despicable ans and expects to get off scot-free, it won’t be so easy. If we let him off this ti, what about next ti? If there’s no evidence, I’ll find so. If Ancheng County can’t resolve this, I’ll take it higher. I refuse to believe that there’s no place left that will stand up for justice."
"Sister, sister, don’t panic," Li Jian quickly reassured her, seeing her agitation, "Aren’t I just considering the worst-case scenario? The matter hasn’t concluded yet, let’s just wait and see, don’t add fuel to the fire."
He didn’t know how things would turn out either. Today, upon hearing that Liu Guoyi was backed by Duan Shixin, he felt disheartened.
Now it was up to Bai County’s decision.
But in the end, he didn’t want Lin Chuxia to take that path.
Since ancient tis, commoners do not fight with officials. Justice exists naturally, but the path to seeking justice is not always easy.
In his heart, Lin Chuxia has always been a wise and calm woman, knowing what to forsake and what to keep. He couldn’t understand why she insisted on being so determined over this matter.
Lin Chuxia didn’t know why she felt this way either. If it were her previous life, without a doubt, she would choose to compromise.
Perhaps it’s because this ti she has so backing, she started to act willfully.
"Thank you, Brother Li, for telling all this. When can we expect a result? I will wait for the outco before making a decision."
Lin Chuxia was not an impulsive person.
Li Jian secretly sighed in relief, "It should take about three to five days, and it’s almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, it probably won’t be so quick before then."
"Then I really appreciate Brother Li keeping an eye out for ."
No matter what, Lin Chuxia’s factory was still just a small private enterprise in the eyes of these people; the barriers between the two classes aren’t sothing that can be broken through simply by earning more money.
"Sister, you’re too polite."
.........
After leaving Li Jian, Lin Chuxia went to Old Master He’s place.
The Mid-Autumn Festival was a ti for family reunion, and Lin Chuxia hoped her master could join them.
Also, since Qin Yang was going to work in the city, she would be moving there soon too. Lin Chuxia also wanted to bring her master along, considering that all that was left here were unpleasant mories for him.
When she arrived at Old Master He’s house, she saw him packing up his belongings, and Lin Chuxia bead with joy.
"Old man, why so eager this ti? Can’t bear to part with your disciple, eh? But you don’t need to rush. Qin Yang hasn’t reported there yet, and I still have so matters to handle here. Just wait a little longer, let settle things there first before I fetch you over."
Although Jia Liang was in the city and could handle so matters when inford, Lin Chuxia wanted to take charge personally.
She knew her master’s living habits best, and since she was arranging his retirent life, naturally, the living arrangents needed to be close to their own.
Now, Qin Yang’s accommodation wasn’t settled yet; the old man was indeed too eager this ti.
Old Master He looked at her with bafflent, "What nonsense are you spouting? What am I waiting for? It’s the middle of the day and you co here throwing a fit, just keep to the side and don’t bother ."
Lin Chuxia was taken aback, "Aren’t you packing to move in with us in the city?"
"I’m living well here, why would I move to the city with you?"
"Then why are you packing your things? Besides, didn’t we agree before that I would take care of you when you are old? In a little while, Qin Yang and I will live in the city, and I don’t feel comfortable leaving you here alone in Ancheng County."
Old Master He did indeed know about Qin Yang being transferred back; Lin Chuxia had spoken to him about sothing similar before, asking him to move to the city to live together.
"You youngsters live your own lives. I’m old now, I’ve lived here all my life, and I don’t want anymore changes. Don’t worry about my retirent, your master can still move around now, I don’t need your care yet."
After packing his belongings, Old Master He asked Lin Chuxia, "Is everything settled with the Old Food Factory?"
"It’s more or less settled, Xiyang Food Factory has resud production."
Lin Chuxia didn’t want to trouble the old man with her work-related issues and shifted the topic.
"Qin Yang will go to his unit in the city tomorrow to report, and he’ll start working there after the Mid-Autumn Festival. I’ll arrange my affairs here during this ti and then will head over too. Master, think it over, if you don’t co with us to the city, you won’t see your adorable disciple as often."
She even made a cute blinking gesture as she spoke.
Old Master He simply couldn’t bear to look, "Go on, leave, it’d be better if you’re out of sight, so I don’t have to tolerate you."
"Master, since when did our master-disciple relationship beco so distorted? How can I be botherso? I’m clearly clever and filial. By the way, stay with us for the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days."
Old Master He shook his head, "No, I have to step out tomorrow, I won’t be back for a few days, so I won’t be ho for the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Lin Chuxia frowned, "Are you going to see patients?"
