Rebirth in a Book: The Road to Breakthrough

"Box, then do you think it's possible that Zhang Mai is not Director Zhang's child?"

"Host, what are you imagining? Xiaoling said that he doesn't look like Director Zhang's wife, but she didn't say that he doesn't look like Director Zhang."

"That's right, Xiaoling didn't say he looks like Director Zhang!" Yu Congcong defended herself unconvincedly for having a short brain circuit.

The system did not respond; it was too lazy to waste energy on a useless argument.

Yu Congcong walked into the office and saw Xiaoling still sorting out documents.

"Xiaoling, does that Zhang Mai look like his father, Director Zhang?"

Xiaoling was stunned by the question. She hadn't noticed this at all. Xiaoling shook her head.

"Not like it?" Yu Congcong exclaimed in surprise.

Xiaoling waved her hand and said, "No, I don't know. I didn't pay attention to it."

"Oh," Yu Congcong fell into deep thought. No one could ignore this point, so it was still somewhat similar. Excluding the impossible possibility that it was not Director Zhang's seed, then there was a big problem with the cousin.

"Xiaoling, where does Director Zhang's cousin live?"

"She lives in a village west of the town. That village is called West Village. I don't know the details."

"Then she lives quite far from Director Zhang."

"Yes, that's why his wife didn't suspect anything. Who would have thought that one was in the east and the other was in the west, running back and forth between the two, and he didn't feel tired at all."

"Yes, if we are far away, it is less likely to have coincidences. If we are close, we will definitely meet by coincidence."

"Yeah, it's time for dinner. Let's go eat."

"Okay. Aunt Liu, it's time for dinner." Yu Congcong greeted her boss, Aunt Liu, enthusiastically.

"You go first. I'll come over when I'm done here."

"Okay, then do you want us to bring the food back for you?"

"No need, I'll just go to the cafeteria and eat by myself later."

"Okay then! Let's go." Aunt Liu waved her hand, and Yu Congcong and Xiaoling walked towards the cafeteria with their lunch boxes.

Zhang Yun rode his slightly worn-out bicycle straight to the supply and marketing cooperative. The supply and marketing cooperative was bustling with people, but no one was interested in the soy sauce counter.

Zhang Yun stepped forward and asked, "Comrade, why is there no one here? Hey, why haven't I seen you before? Are you new here?"

It turned out that the counter had been replaced, and the original Sister Wang was not there. It was through Sister Wang that he was able to sell soy sauce to the town supply and marketing cooperative. Now Sister Wang was not there, and there was no news that she was going to be promoted. Zhang Yun couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"No one, that is, no one needs it! You are so nosy. Changing people won't stop you from buying soy sauce." Zhang Fang was furious since she was transferred to the soy sauce counter. She was doing well at the pastry counter, but was transferred here.

In the past two days, people in the town came to her after buying soy sauce and said that what she sold was fake. Not only was it diluted with water, but it was also sour and smelly. They demanded a refund and some of the bad-tempered ones even beat her up.

What did she say? Why did they transfer her here when everything was fine? It turned out that they wanted her to be a scapegoat.

She had no power, so she could just quit. She didn't want to do this deceptive business, so she deliberately sent people away and stopped selling goods these days.

Having just been scolded by the manager this morning, Zhang Yun was now in trouble.

Zhang Yun has been traveling around for many years, and his temper has been mellowed. He smiled and said, "Comrade, don't be angry. Aren't you just curious? Usually, you have to queue up for a long time to buy soy sauce. It's really too strange today."

Seeing that Zhang Yun was not angry because of her bad temper and was smiling, Zhang Fang's anger subsided a little and she said, "If you want to buy soy sauce, take a look at it first and then decide whether to buy it or not." As she said that, Zhang Fang used a bamboo spoon to scoop some soy sauce and put it next to Zhang Yun's nose.

How could it smell so bad? This shouldn't happen! Even if it's been stored for a long time, it won't smell like this. This is really abnormal.

"Comrade, this soy sauce has gone bad, why are you still selling it?"

"Ah..." Zhang Fang sighed and pointed to the second floor, "How could the new goods go bad?"

New goods? Zhang Yun hasn't delivered goods here recently, so where did these new goods come from?

"Then I want the old stuff."

"Nothing."

"Then why don't you look for used sources?"

"Are you stupid? You must want to change the source of goods to get a new source of goods."

"You can't fool the people like this, it will cause public outrage."

"Don't you see who's standing here?"

"You?"

"You know, I'm the one who has to pay for all this." Zhang Fang said dejectedly.

She has been really angry these days. She already knows her fate. Just like Sister Wang, she is about to lose her job.

Zhang Yun remained silent. He had seen this kind of thing many times and had long been numb to it. He no longer had the courage to stand up for the weak.

He already understood the situation, so he walked towards the warehouse. The warehouse manager saw him and said calmly, "Comrade Zhang, you don't need to deliver goods here anymore. We have found a new source of goods. You always have insufficient supply, but this problem won't occur again in the future."

"Okay, I understand. Just pay for the goods." The two said no more and settled the final payment.

"Zhang..." The director was about to say something, but when he saw someone coming, he shut up and changed his words, "Comrade Zhang, take care."

When Zhang Yun saw that the person coming was the manager, he nodded at him and left.

Zhang Yun rode his bicycle to the warehouse of the black market. He called a group of brothers who worked with him and asked them to check the manager of the supply and marketing cooperative and find out where the new soy sauce of the supply and marketing cooperative came from.

In the afternoon, when it was time to get off work, Yu Congcong pushed her bicycle and walked out without hesitation. Zhang Yun had already been waiting quietly at the gate.

When Yu Congcong saw Zhang Yun there, she didn't say much, but simply motioned for him to follow. She secretly decided to go to Xicun to find out what was going on, otherwise she would not be willing. The whole afternoon, the identity of Director Zhang's cousin was like a little bug scratching in her heart, making her itchy.

"Congcong, where are you going? This is not the way back to the village." Seeing that Yu Congcong had taken the wrong fork in the road, Zhang Yun quickly reminded her.

"Brother Zhang Yun, we are not going back to the village. I want to go to West Village." Yu Congcong turned around and answered Zhang Yun behind him.

Zhang Yun quickened his pace, caught up with Yu Congcong, and walked side by side with her.

"What are you going to do in Xicun?" Zhang Yun asked curiously.

"Go check someone." Yu Congcong answered firmly.

"Who is it?" Zhang Yun continued to ask.

"Director Zhang's cousin. As long as we find this person, maybe we can easily overthrow Director Zhang of the Revolutionary Committee." Yu Congcong secretly speculated in his heart that Director Zhang of the Revolutionary Committee's stolen goods might be hidden with his cousin.
