1353 Careless Talk Leads to Trouble (1/2)

Grandma Gu hurriedly pulled Zhang Zian to the door of the street office.

Zhang Zian was quite resistant. He didn't want to face the unpleasant Deputy Director Yan. He stood at the door and didn't go inside. He said, ”Grandma Gu, what do you want to say? Please say it. If there is no need, I will not go in with you. I still have things to do in my store...”

”We are already here! What's the point of standing outside? Come on, let's go in! Let's go in!”

Grandma Gu took advantage of the fact that she was a senior and deliberately did not hear him out. She forced him into the office.

The office had not changed, and Deputy Director Yan was there. However, she did not look all that normal. Her face was swollen from crying, and she was packing up. It was not as simple as getting things to leave work. After all, it was just the beginning of the workday. She was packing all her personal belongings into a storage box.

Grandma Gu gently pulled Zhang Zian aside and whispered, ”Hey! Nowadays, it is important to know when to shut your mouth! Little Yan's work ethic is still okay, but she just doesn't seem to know how to shut her mouth. It finally got her in trouble...”

”Huh?” Zhang Zian didn't understand what was going on.

Grandma Gu whispered, ”It was just that day. Weren't you here? Xiao Yan ran outside, stopped a telecom engineering vehicle, and prevented the telecom workers from going to Donghua Community for construction work... The issue was what she said then. She told the workers that she represented the public opinion of Donghua Community. A staff member from that team recorded what she said with a mobile phone. The video was then posted online. It created a massive discussion online... A lot of netizens ridiculed her for saying what she said, claiming that they were being misrepresented...and then...this morning, our boss informed her that she was to go through the formalities of leaving the company... Oh, what a pity. She was only a few more years away from her pension. So that is why I say that you must watch what you say. God knows when you may be deliberately recorded by someone...”

The office was not huge. Even if Grandma Gu lowered her voice, former Deputy Director Yan would have heard what she said. However, she was already like an empty shell who had lost her soul. Faced with other people's remarks and comments, she was unfazed. Even when she brushed against Zhang Zian as she packed, it did not seem to matter. She did not make eye contact with him and quietly placed everything into the storage box before leaving.

When she was out of the office, Zhang Zian did not know if it was an illusion or not. However, the young civil servants in the office seemed relieved.

It seemed that sharing an office with her was an unpleasant experience.

”Xiao Zian, don't worry about her. Let's talk again about whatever you told me the other day. I have to record it. Our superior has ordered everyone to act on this issue immediately and kill off those pests!” Grandma Gu instructed Zhang Zian to sit down and put on her reading glasses. She took out her small copybook.

”Cypermethrin,” he replied. ”Didn't someone check that online that day?”

”Hmph! That person is on vacation today! His computer has a password, and the others can't turn it on, so they can't read the record!” Grandma Gu shook her head and sighed, ”Cyper... What is it?”

Zhang Zian simply took the small book and wrote the word out for her.

Grandma Gu looked at it. ”Oh, so this is how it is spelled...”

”Yes. After proper dilution, put on protective clothing and a gas mask and then spray it on the bugs.” He nodded.

”That... What is the proper dilution?” Grandma Gu was cautious and afraid of making a mistake. She was constantly asking questions.

”The instructions should be there in the instruction books.”

”Okay…”

Zhang Zian felt that there was nothing else to say, and he planned to get up and leave.
