Siheyuan: I just want to live

When the leader of the steel plant walked hurriedly to the edge of the fish pond, he stopped and stared at the backs of three people in front of him who were concentrating on fishing.

The three fishermen were completely immersed in the joy of fishing and had no idea someone was approaching from behind.

Seeing this, the leader did not even think for a moment, and the anger in his heart instantly erupted like a volcano.

His eyes widened, his face flushed red, and he shouted angrily at the three figures: "Chen Feng! Who among you is Chen Feng? Stand up right now!"

The sound was like thunder exploding in the air, and even the villagers picking up wheat grains nearby were frightened.

However, the three fishermen did not seem to be frightened by the sudden roar and still sat firmly on the fishing platform.

But one of them, Chen Feng, felt vaguely that the shouting seemed to be related to him. With a heart full of doubts, he slowly stood up and turned around to look behind him.

When Chen Feng turned around, what came into his sight was a tall and thin old man who was as thin as a bamboo pole.

At this moment, the old man was standing with his hands on his hips, staring at him angrily, as if he wanted to swallow him in one bite.

Before Chen Feng could open his mouth to ask, he saw the tall and thin old man pointing a finger at him and loudly asked, "You are the farm manager Chen Feng, right?"

Chen Feng stared at the strange and angry old man in front of him, wondering in his heart who the other person was and why he was looking for him so angrily.

Although his mind was full of doubts, he still maintained the necessary politeness and calmness.

Chen Feng's eyes fell gently on the other person, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and then he responded slowly: "Yes, I am Chen Feng."

Then, a look of confusion flashed across Chen Feng's face, and then he continued to ask with some doubt: "But, I don't know who you are? What do you want to see me about?"

At this moment, Wei Zhibo, who had been running all the way behind, finally arrived at the scene.

When he heard the angry roar of the steel plant leader, the joy in his heart suddenly surged into his heart like a surging tide, and he almost couldn't suppress his excitement.

However, just as he was ecstatic, he heard Chen Feng's confused voice again.

Wei Zhibo took a step forward impatiently and spoke quickly without waiting for the steel plant leader to answer.

"Director Chen, this is the leader of our subordinate steel plant! He is Chairman Zhang of the Steel Plant Workers' Union!"

Chen Feng was standing there leisurely when he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

He looked in the direction of the voice and saw Wei Zhibo speaking eloquently.

At this moment, Chen Feng suddenly realized why the union chairman Zhang had been glaring at him. It turned out that this chairman Zhang was the rescuer that Wei Zhibo had brought in!

At the same time, Chen Feng's mind was as clear as a mirror, and he knew clearly why Chairman Zhang came to him.

However, although he knew the whole thing clearly, Chen Feng was determined to pretend to be ignorant.

There was a puzzled look on his face, and then he said slowly: "Oh, it turns out to be Chairman Zhang of the labor union!"

"It is my fault that I did not recognize Chairman Zhang. I just don't know why Chairman Zhang came to visit me today. I hope Chairman Zhang can tell me clearly!"

After saying that, Chen Feng deliberately blinked and put on an innocent look, as if he really knew nothing.

Meanwhile, the Li family father and son, who were originally concentrating on fishing, could no longer focus fully on the fishing rods in their hands.

Although their eyes were still fixed on the float rising and falling on the water, in fact, their ears had already stood up like rabbits.

His heart was filled with curiosity and his mind was filled with excitement. He also wanted to know what Chairman Zhang wanted to see Chen Feng about.

Chairman Zhang became even more furious when he heard what Chen Feng said. He yelled at Chen Feng, "Chen Feng, what good thing did you do? Have you forgotten it now? You even asked me what I want to talk to you about?"

Chen Feng listened to Chairman Zhang's accusation and pretended to be confused and said, "I did a good thing? I didn't do a good thing?"

Chen Feng was just standing there, looking as if nothing had happened, and it was obvious that he was pretending to be stupid in front of him. This made Chairman Zhang very angry, and the rage in his heart was instantly ignited.

His eyes widened, his face full of anger, and he stretched out a finger, pointing it straight at the villagers who were squatting on the ground in the distance, carefully picking up wheat grains.

Then, Chairman Zhang took a deep breath, trying hard to suppress the anger that was about to erupt in his heart, gritted his teeth, and asked Chen Feng loudly, word by word.

"Chen Feng, you must explain to me clearly today, what are those people doing?"

Chen Feng took a glance in the direction of Chairman Zhang's finger, then turned around and replied casually: "Oh, they are picking up wheat grains!"

After saying this, Chen Feng shrugged his shoulders, as if he thought it was no big deal.

After hearing Chen Feng's reply, Chairman Zhang's expression became even more gloomy and ugly. He frowned tightly and continued to ask: "What happened after they picked up the wheat grains?"

Chen Feng seemed very calm and composed, and replied calmly: "After picking up the wheat grains, of course everyone will go back to their own homes. Do we still have to be responsible for providing them with meals?"

Seeing Chen Feng acting so self-righteously and confidently, Chairman Zhang was almost furious, but he tried hard to suppress his anger.

He asked again, "What about the wheat grains we picked up? We can't just let them take them away, can we?"

At this time, Chen Feng remained calm and answered again in a calm tone: "Of course, they have to take the wheat grains they picked up with great effort back home."

When Chairman Zhang heard what Chen Feng said, his anger was like a ignited powder keg, which exploded instantly and burned fiercely, and could no longer be suppressed.

Chairman Zhang's face turned red, veins bulged on his forehead, and his eyes were wide open as if they were about to spit fire.

He was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed his right index finger at Chen Feng and shouted angrily, "Chen Feng, what on earth were you thinking? You actually allowed them to take the wheat grains home!"

Chairman Zhang's voice was deafening, like thunder exploding in the air.

He continued to scold angrily: "Don't you know where this place is? This is a farm under the steel plant!"

"This is a publicly owned farm belonging to our country! Every grain of food and every inch of land represents the country's wealth and resources!"

When he got excited, Chairman Zhang took a step forward, approached Chen Feng, and almost shouted at his face: "And now you actually let these villagers take the wheat grains they found home at will."

"Do you know what your actions mean? This is clearly damaging the interests of the country! This is watching the country's property being lost in vain!"

Chen Feng stood there quietly like a sculpture. His body seemed a little stiff as he silently endured the roar from Chairman Zhang that was like a violent storm.

At this moment, Chairman Zhang's face turned red, veins bulged on his forehead, and the words that came out of his mouth were like bullets, shooting straight at Chen Feng.

Chen Feng raised his head and looked at the furious Chairman Zhang in front of him. Listening to his deafening roar, Chen Feng couldn't help but feel an indescribable emotion in his heart.

It was only then that he finally understood why Wei Zhibo had specially invited Chairman Zhang to inspect the farm. It turned out that this man was exactly the same as Wei Zhibo!

They would rather watch the scattered wheat grains rot in the soil than allow the poor villagers to pick up even a grain of food.

Thinking of this, Chen Feng's heart was suddenly filled with disgust.

Chen Feng didn't know whether this kind of person was right or wrong. He really didn't have any good feelings towards this kind of person.

However, reason told him that Chairman Zhang in front of him was not an ordinary person, but the leader of the steel plant. He could not talk to him as rudely as he did to Wei Zhibo.

So, even though his heart was already burning with anger, Chen Feng still suppressed his anger, tried to remain calm on the surface, and continued to listen to Chairman Zhang's roar.

After a while, Chairman Zhang vented his anger on Chen Feng, then he breathed a sigh of relief and recovered his strength.

Seeing that Chairman Zhang had finally stopped his violent roar at him, Chen Feng calmed himself down a little and then spoke.

"Chairman Zhang, what you just said is too serious. How can it be linked to damaging national interests?"

"Actually, those are just some scattered wheat grains. If the farm workers were to pick them up by themselves, it would be time-consuming and laborious, and not cost-effective, so we allowed the villagers to help pick them up."

However, after hearing Chen Feng's explanation, Chairman Zhang not only did not show any sign of easing up, but instead glared at Chen Feng fiercely again.

Then he continued to scold in a stern voice: "How can it not be serious! This is clearly blatantly damaging the interests of the country!"

After the scolding was over, Chairman Zhang immediately gave Chen Feng an order without mercy: "I tell you, you must expel all these villagers from the farm right now!"

"And when you drive them away, you must keep all the wheat grains they have picked up! Not a single grain can be left behind!"

When Chen Feng heard this order, his eyes widened instantly, his face full of disbelief, and he stammered in response: "Zhang... Chairman Zhang, I'm afraid this is not appropriate, right?"

When Chairman Zhang heard this, he immediately glared at Chen Feng and shouted, "What's wrong with that? Don't you know that this is to make up for the losses suffered by the country?"
