The Female General Dominates All After Transmigration-Chapter 56: Distortion and Righteous Indignation

Ling Chengyan heard the consolation in his voice but also understood it—the arrangement for her work was indeed a dilemma for Zhang Hanchao. The only solution was for her to win another district championship!

Ling Chengyan had no particular desire for a ’formal job,’ so she calmly nodded in agreement.

Unexpectedly, although she wished to avoid trouble, someone was set on disturbing her peace. As soon as the morning training began, and she had just finished the first round, a man in a Zhongshan suit with glasses approached. With an arrogant attitude as if issuing a decree from high above, he informed her that the leaders wanted to see her.

Ling Chengyan put down her gun and said indifferently, "I need to take leave."

The glasses man frowned and said impatiently, "What leave? The leaders want to see you; you don’t need any leave."

Ling Chengyan ignored him and walked over to Li Haiyang to explain the situation.

As expected, Xiao Li was perceptive, "Oh, it’s Deputy Director Qian who wants to see you. So you should go over. I’ll report to the brigade captain."

After a brief pause, Li Haiyang whispered, "This is Deputy Director Qian’s secretary, Zheng Jing. He’s from Beijing."

Speaking of Beijing, Li Haiyang’s tone held undisguised mockery.

Ling Chengyan didn’t focus on the Beijing aspect, only noting Zheng Jing’s name. Turning back to look at him, his absolutely proper Zhongshan suit with four pockets, two pens clipped to the upper pocket, buttoned all the way to the top. And those rectangular black-frame glasses with meticulously combed hair parted three-seven, plus a square face... he really did seem serious.

Yet the question remained—was he genuinely serious, or just pretending?

With leave taken, Ling Chengyan followed Zheng Jing not to Deputy Director Qian’s office but to a small meeting room.

After mingling in the courtyard for days, she had obtained a general layout and knew the key personnel; only a few she hadn’t met yet, couldn’t quite connect. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Previously, Deputy Director Qian had made his presence known to Ling Chengyan, using her husband’s imprisonment as an excuse to disrupt her work arrangement.

Now with Ling Chengyan coming over, the first thing she thought of was this matter. Yet she wondered, if it was merely about a work arrangement, since Qian could already block it, why bother reaching out again? Could a simple matter possibly be expanded into something more significant?

Upon entering the small meeting room and seeing the people inside, Ling Chengyan realized she was wrong.

Deputy Director Qian wasn’t there. The room only had two people from Longsheng Brigade: the branch secretary and the militia captain.

After bringing Ling Chengyan to the meeting room door, Zheng Jing left without a word.

The two people inside showed no surprise at her arrival yet turned away simultaneously, ignoring her.

Ling Chengyan didn’t care much about this level of disregard and neglect. She noticed a periodical rack in the corner, pulled a chair over, and sat down to read a stack of newspapers.

Ling Chengyan had already heard and finally understood the source of the obstacles in her work arrangement.

She chose not to intervene because, just as she was contemplating, Deputy Director Zhao Hongqi of the commune entered.

Walking in and seeing the adversarial atmosphere, Zhao Hongqi squinted his eyes slightly, rising with a smile, kindly greeting everyone, "Comrade Ling Chengyan is here, delaying your training yesterday."

Ling Chengyan responded indifferently, "It didn’t delay anything."

Zhao Hongqi perceived it as a ’sharp’ soft retort but wasn’t surprised, continued affably, "Let’s patiently wait a little longer. Leadership is busy, squeezing out some time from their packed schedule to handle our matter. It’s only fitting for us comrades to wait, hahaha."

He considered himself humorous, laughing heartily even before finishing his words. The two people from Longsheng Village accompanied him in laughter while Ling Chengyan simply nodded, indicating she knew, then resumed reading her newspaper.

Thus Zhao Hongqi could no longer laugh, his face suddenly fell.

"A village woman, vain because she won first place in a county competition, and now thinks herself above everyone, dismissing even public leaders." Militia captain Zhang Qingguang spared no effort in showing disdain towards Ling Chengyan.

Seemingly honest and simple, old brigade secretary Zhang Yugu sighed, "Young women, their hair long but insight short; a mere bit of success and they’re lost in new heights."

"It’s one thing not to value us ordinary folks, but even dismissing commune and county leaders..." Before finishing his sentence, footsteps sounded as Deputy Director Qian joined them.

Yet Qian was not alone; he was accompanied by Zhang Hanchao, the brigade captain, who stood taller, with an upright and righteous demeanor.

Following them were also Zheng Jing and Xiao Li from the office.

Deputy Director Qian, in his forties, skinny with sallow skin. Opening his mouth to reveal sepia stained teeth, he seemed a consumptive person.

He proceeded to the innermost chair, gestured down with his hand indicating everyone should sit, never once looking at Ling Chengyan, only addressing the people from Taiping Commune, "Since everyone is here, let’s talk about the situation."

The two from Longsheng Brigade dared not speak, looking uniformly at Zhao Hongqi.

Pushed forward to speak, Zhao Hongqi recounted the event, turning Longsheng Brigade’s highway robbery into a misunderstanding during a militia patrol.

Deputy Director Qian listened attentively, smiling and waving his hand lightly, his tone relaxed, "It’s just a small misunderstanding between the two brigades; I thought it was something major. Since it’s a misunderstanding, explaining it should resolve things, huh..."

Zhang Hanchao smiled, interrupting Deputy Director Qian, "Since both sides are here, we should not listen to a single version. Comrade Ling Chengyan, you were present; please describe what happened briefly."

Ling Chengyan nodded calmly, recounting the situation once, concluding with, "Those are the details. Additionally, I have two questions: One, Deputy Director Zhao was not present during the incident, so where did he hear the story he mentioned? Two, Captain Zhang stated it was a militia patrol. However, to my knowledge, militia patrols at night generally occur during the wheat and autumn harvests, with two people per team, carrying at most one weapon. Yet, the Longsheng Brigade that day had five people, carrying not only two guns but also machetes, axes, and other sharp tools... I wonder if Secretary Zhang and Captain Zhang could explain this?"

Zhang Qingguang’s face was livid; Zhang Yugu fared slightly better, though neither could speak, rendered speechless.
