Chapter 814 Simple

A transfer order was still a very simple matter for Zhang Tianming. As for the water pump technology, it could indeed be classified as confidential. He directly called the commune, and the commune leaders immediately gave instructions to ensure there would be no omissions in this matter. Otherwise, if there was trouble with this transfer order, his own position would be in jeopardy.

Back at the Qingshan Team, some people had taken the lead in causing trouble, making the whole place erupt in an uproar.

The team captain gave everyone a piece of his mind.

"You people really have no conscience! If it weren’t for Gu Zhiqing, you’d all still be huffing and puffing, digging holes in the fields right now! What, are you saying all those technologies are fake?

"If you think your own children are so capable, have them build a water pump for me to see!

"Let me tell you, if anyone gossips to me again, none of you will be allowed to use Gu Zhiqing’s machines during next year’s busy farming season!"

After saying that, he instructed his son, "Write all these people’s names down for me. None of them are allowed to use the machines next year."

The captain’s son was a student under Gu Jiaojiao. Ever since he started learning from her, his grades had steadily improved. Even the captain’s wife was beaming with joy every day, immensely grateful to Leng Yuan and his wife. As for the boy, he was simply Gu Jiaojiao’s biggest fan. Every day when he came back, he would recount the stories he heard at school. Truth be told, it was almost like listening to a professional storyteller. Lately, the atmosphere in their entire household had been wonderful.

Now that someone was slandering Gu Jiaojiao, the captain’s son would never stand for it. He immediately pulled out his notebook to record their names.

The crowd was left speechless. Terrified, they scattered in a panic.

Are you kidding? The busy farming season could work a person to death. If they really couldn’t use the machines, they would truly be worked to the bone. They had shot themselves in the foot. The people who went to complain didn’t gain a single benefit and were scolded instead. The few ringleaders even had their names recorded by the captain. After returning home, they were consumed with regret, thinking they shouldn’t have caused trouble in the first place. What kind of mess was this? Offending the captain meant they would be completely out of luck in the future.

Once the crowd had left, the captain’s wife looked deeply worried. "Gu Zhiqing wouldn’t actually be in trouble, right? Such a good person, I hope nothing bad really happened."

Ever since her son’s grades went up, she had grown incredibly fond of Gu Jiaojiao. The key was that whenever her son came home, he constantly praised Gu Jiaojiao, his words full of absolute admiration.

The captain’s son also chimed in, "Dad, my teacher won’t really be in trouble, right?" As he spoke, his eyes turned red.

The captain sighed. He didn’t know what was going on with this matter either. When he asked those people, they simply refused to say much.

"Don’t worry. I’ll go to the commune and ask around about the situation," he reassured them. "Sweet Girl and Xiao Yang are over at Jianshe’s place. Go check on them later and lend a hand if they need help."

His wife nodded, urging him to hurry up and go.

Chen Beiguo was speechless. Since when did his wife care so much about Leng Yuan and Gu Jiaojiao? However, he didn’t say anything more. He immediately pushed his bicycle out and left.

Just as he stepped out the door, he saw Chen Ruoyu walking over. He stopped in his tracks and asked, "Chen Zhiqing, is something the matter?"

Chen Ruoyu looked anxious. "Captain, I heard Jiaojiao is in trouble. I want to borrow your bicycle to go to the commune and ask about the situation."

The captain immediately reassured her, "I’m heading to the commune right now too. You won’t be able to find out anything even if you go. It’s better if I go ask. You head back and wait for news!"

Hearing this, Chen Ruoyu quickly said, "Why don’t you take me with you? I’ll go find the principal. Maybe he can help ask around too."

Chen Beiguo agreed and took Chen Ruoyu along with him to the commune.
