The conspiracy of the courtyard

Chapter 247 Extremely stupid

Lu Zixuan was not a rebellious teenager, so he would not run away in anger. He was just anxious to stop Zhao Saner from carrying out the subsequent plan of blocking the door.

Since Lao Chen planned to handle the matter in other ways, Lu Zixuan had to cooperate. He understood that without Lao Chen's help, his plans would be in vain, and the trouble would be in dealing with the aftermath.

What is more important is that if there are other ways of dealing with the same thing, conflicts will inevitably arise. We have to choose to give in only out of respect and trust for our allies. Although it is regrettable, we have to do it.

Lu Zixuan arrived at the factory gate as quickly as possible. When he saw Zhao Saner and a few others still hiding in the distance and observing, he felt relieved and slowed down to join them.

As soon as they met, Zhao Saner explained guiltily, with a hint of boasting in his tone:

"Xuanxuan, I'm sorry! I didn't complete your request. Those people are cowards and dare not show up at all. Look, these are the workers I found. Their situations are similar to mine. They were all forced into a desperate situation and have long been dissatisfied with those high-ranking cadres, but they are willing to take risks.

Although... there are not enough people, don't worry, we have loud voices and a loud speaker. As soon as the bell rings, we will block the door immediately, and I guarantee..."

Seeing Zhao Saner take out the oversized rusty iron trumpet from behind him, Lu Zixuan felt relieved but also a little amused. He immediately stopped him:

"Uncle San, it's not necessary for now. The plan has changed slightly, but it's not a big problem. So, you take these workers back first. The factory should send someone to notify you, the workers who have been wronged, to cooperate with the investigation again. There's no rush."

He then took out a few packs of economical cigarettes and handed them to his fellow workers, apologizing repeatedly.

"Please come with me. These packs of cigarettes are an apology. The factory leaders are studying the handling method and time. Let's wait patiently..."

After some consolation and courtesy, and after seeing off Zhao Saner and the others, Lu Zixuan squatted on a stone pier beside the road, staring at the backs of the people as they left, and frowned again.

It's nothing, nothing goes right! First, Mr. Chen's attitude changed, then the workers' "goods don't match the instructions". It's hard to imagine how many more unknown accidents will happen if we force the original plan to be followed...

Only at this moment did I deeply understand the true meaning of "each has his own selfish desires."

Whether it is Lao Chen's loyalty and integrity or Zhao Saner's self-assertion, they both think and act in the way they think is correct. The only difference is in factors such as experience, knowledge, and environment.

No matter how complicated a matter is, it can be as simple as selfishness or as profound as the origin of animal evolution…

"Xuanxuan, it's done!" Xiaohua's shrill voice interrupted Lu Zixuan's meditation. Perhaps he thought it was inappropriate, so he secretly looked around, walked closer, suppressed the upward corners of his mouth, and whispered:

"Director Yang said personally that the child's father will be able to return to work tomorrow and can also participate in the year-end advanced evaluation. Aunt Hua's whole family has to thank you!

There's nothing good at home. In the evening, let's call Zhuzi's family and go to a restaurant. This is the first time Aunt Hua has been so generous since she was born. Let's treat you to a meal in a restaurant. You are not allowed to say you are busy.

By the way, that senior cadre asked you to wait for him at the door. Hey, Xuanxuan, he is the head of Director Wang’s family, right? His style is different from that of ordinary people…”

It was not until Old Chen's cart approached with a sullen face that Xiaohua stopped chattering and left, saying that she had something to do.

Lu Zixuan took the bicycle and walked side by side with Lao Chen.

When they reached a secluded place, Lao Chen finally spoke slowly: "Tell me the reason for your failure."

"He didn't know people well, trusted the wrong people, had a simple plan full of mistakes, had no skills in managing people, and failed because his plan was leaked..." Lu Zixuan blurted out more than ten reasons, all of which were to vent his dissatisfaction with Lao Chen.

Old Chen stopped him in a deep voice:

"Shut up! Only incompetent people will blame others for all their mistakes. It seems that you have never thought about failure at all, you idiot who only cares about the head and not the butt!"

After calming down for a while, Lao Chen slowed down his tone and continued:

"I once thought that you didn't want to get involved in politics because you were scared by what happened to your mother. Now it seems that those were just childish things that you didn't care about at all. Haha..."

After listening to this, Lu Zixuan frowned immediately, recalling that Chen Ping's act of self-defense was misinterpreted by some people as an intentional act by an enemy spy, and they investigated the matter for many years.

And their actions, at the very least, are questioning the decisions of certain leaders, and at the worst, are intentionally provoking conflicts among the masses.

If anything goes wrong, all kinds of charges will come one after another, including attempting to disrupt factory production, causing political incidents, colluding with unknown forces, and even implicate everyone around.

Old Chen teased, "Are you scared now? You said yourself that those people are experienced hunters, how could they leave such a big handle for you to catch?

It's not that you don't know how to judge people, but that you don't know your own weight. If I hadn't watched you grow up and knew you well, I would really doubt your race and intentions!

You are indeed Lao Tong's apprentice. Like him, you can only play tricks. Even if you are given a platform and resources, you cannot reach the threshold of great wisdom because you have no faith in your heart!"

Lu Zixuan's movement of pushing the cart paused, his mind full of thoughts. Old Chen's summary continued at a leisurely pace:

"Your previous success was entirely due to your deliberate planning, not the cleverness of your strategy. Do you believe it? Even if I hadn't stopped you today, you would not have been able to succeed!

Do you think that everyone is like you, and that you dare to make reckless plans without considering the consequences and take on the responsibility of redressing grievances for others based on only partial understanding? Haha... How stupid! "

Lu Zixuan didn't have time to think deeply, he just bowed his head and argued softly:

"At least I have the intention. Our strengths are far apart to begin with. If I don't use some tricks, I will be crushed into ashes sooner or later.

Besides, all we little people pursue is to have enough food and clothing, a safe family, a smooth life, and not cause trouble for the government. We don’t have the time to talk about ideals or the big picture.

If everyone was a gentleman, there would be no bad people in the world..."

Hearing this stubborn remark, Lao Chen grabbed the bicycle and drove away before he could finish his words...
