Rebirth in the 60s: A Path to Counterattack-Chapter 391. Miscalculation: Failed to beat the scumbag, such a pity
Having received a hint early on, Dai Weiguo and his team had brought a lot of cluttered stuff.
The inspection process, naturally, was dragged on as long as possible.
Meanwhile, the onlooking old men and women kept whispering.
Among them, some little kids even started chanting a nursery rhyme: "Dai the Tortoise, Dai the Turtle, foolish white knight. Pearls mistaken for fish eyes, junk treated as ancestors. Once the turtle shell is lifted, the ancestors’ face lost completely, all lost completely!"
This vicious nursery rhyme that had once brought shame to Dai Weiguo was sung again, causing an uproarious laughter in the crowd.
It was as if being slapped in the face, not very painful, but damn humiliating!
Dai Weiguo clenched his fists so tightly that his nails broke the skin of his palms.
Even so, he endured, refraining from ordering the ten or so robust security guards to fight with a group of old people and children.
His eyes were bloodshot and filled with anger as he looked at the accompanying deputy director of the investment office: "I came with full sincerity, hoping to contribute to our hometown’s economic development. But is this how my hometown people welcome me, Dai?
If you don’t want this investment, just say it clearly. Neither I nor my company have money with nowhere to spend!"
After uttering these cold words, Dai Weiguo turned and instructed Lawyer Chen who was with him.
He wanted to pursue accountability for the insulting parties, holding them responsible for both legal and economic compensation.
Spend two days in the detention center, then fork out a sum for compensation.
With a real price to pay, let’s see who dares to brazenly insult others again!
The thought of making an example of one to frighten others seemed so appealing to him.
But in fact, apart from the initial old man who ’misspoke’ and called him Chen Shimei, there wasn’t a single direct mention of his name in any further discussions or insults.
Understanding privately doesn’t serve as legal evidence.
If it truly went to court, it would just be a war of words, adding to the hilarity.
Commenting on right and wrong is frowned upon, but not a crime, right?
Not to mention no one directly named him, even if they did, they weren’t maliciously fabricating or spreading falsehoods to defame him!
If it came to a legal battle, these villagers could easily act innocent, saying they were just speaking the truth.
Motive?
Just outraged by the injustice!
If there’s injustice people will step on it, if someone can’t stand it, shouldn’t people talk about it?
As for the nursery rhyme, kids babbling without any factual basis? It’s just something to laugh about, could Dai be feeling uneasy?
When Lawyer Chen explained the situation, it nearly made Dai Weiguo faint with anger.
So, after suffering such humiliation, he found himself unable to pursue it?
Liu Shuzhen, Liu Shouren, good, I’ll remember you siblings!
In actuality, Shuzhen was utterly wronged, not having done anything or even knowing that the scumbag had entered the village.
Having planned this little scumbag appetizer to trigger a series of follow-up actions, Liu Shouren was infinitely disappointed and puzzled: Just how miserably had Dai Weiguo been living to turn his once arrogant nature into a ninja turtle?
Supposedly humiliated to this degree, with his character, he should’ve retaliated crazily!
Because of a few idle remarks, ordering bodyguards to act on the elderly, and the security patrols’ attempts at intervention failed.
To prevent escalation, forceful stopping was the only option.
By then, once people were in his village office, how to retaliate depended on his and his brother’s mood.
The seemingly perfect plan was just ruined like that.
Ah, what a pity!
After placing the phone call from the city’s investment office deputy to the office, Liu Shouren tidied up his deeply disappointed mood and prepared to leave.
Waiting eagerly for the show to commence, Shouyi quickly followed, though the explosive opening didn’t ignite the whole scene as desired, there were still subsequent arrangements to follow, weren’t there?
He needed to follow and see, then learn from his sister so she could join in on the fun.
Previously, the investment deputy was made to feel like a third grandchild by Dai Weiguo and couldn’t challenge the investors from Hong Kong or stop the rowdy villagers.
Seeing Liu Shouren, he immediately assumed a stern face.
He delivered a furious platform of criticism, picking apart anything from his work to management, even criticizing the inspection of vehicles entering and leaving the village.
He expected Liu Shouren, as village head, to meekly admit fault, thoroughly rectify the instigating villagers, remove some inefficient security team members, and even revoke this ridiculous system.
To let him reclaim the face lost in front of President Dai, and ensure the sure-fire investment didn’t fall through.
Having grabbed such a huge opportunity from the director, he was eagerly waiting to use this achievement to make a successful turnaround!
Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried with his eyes, it was fruitless, and he didn’t get the expected scene.
Liu Shouren, speaking politely, yet the content was blunt: "Though it inevitably causes some inconvenience for villagers and guests entering and exiting, appropriate inspections are still very necessary for the safety of life and property of our entire village.
Our Liu family village maintains a zero-crime rate for over a decade, as repeatedly praised by the governor.
When the governor previously visited our village for an economic survey, he voluntarily cooperated with the inspection."
Even the governor is no exception, who do you think you are?
The deputy director, recently parachuted in, was arrogantly rude, thinking highly of himself with his minor backing.
In less than half a month, he had offended all his colleagues and hadn’t made half a friend.
Everyone was eagerly waiting for him to hit a snag and make a fool of himself.
His first mission, receiving Hong Kong investors and accompanying them to the countryside, it was like everyone had agreed upon it - no one gave him a single hint.
So much so that he didn’t realize the "village chief who was crazy about being a village official and not wanting to climb the corporate ladder" his father spoke of was right before him, the one he berated from start to finish.
When he later found out that the Liu family village was the Number One Scholar Village, and this was the renowned Liu Shouren standing in front of him, the deputy director felt a chill in his heart.
Thought he was on a smooth path to success, ready to remove the ’deputy’ from his title and rise to career heights!
Now it’s all gone, like an egg cracked on a rock.
Not a matter of overestimating oneself, just a simple misjudgment of the power of both sides.
This courting disaster!
The probability of removing ’deputy’ from his title organically was high, but contrary to his positive expectations, it was assuredly not the upward kind, more likely the downward spiral!
