Chapter 576 The Whole Village Lights Up
Mei Ping smiled too, walked around the table and sat down, looking at Lu Yao:
"Wang Zhe, the director of Hongxing Police Station, came to see me. Did you beat up Director Liu of the supply and marketing cooperative?"
"This matter?"
"Yes, their index finger was cut off. That's assault, by all accounts!"
Lu Yao said seriously, "He deliberately tried to drive down the price and make things difficult for the people in the production team below. Besides, he was the one who blocked my way and caused me trouble, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to take action..."
Mei Ping waved her hand: "No matter what, you can't hit people like that. Luckily, Wang Zhe knows who you are, so he came to me for instructions first, and I've suppressed this matter for you."
Lu Yao couldn't help but look at Mei Ping with new respect:
"You scared me! I thought you were going to arrest me, Sister Mei."
"Hmph, if I were to question you, I wouldn't be giving you water."
Mei Ping stood up again, walked in front of Lu Yao, and leaned her pert buttocks against the table, facing Lu Yao. She liked the feeling of looking down at him from above.
"The county wants to establish heroic figures, and we can't easily ruin your image. But you'd better be careful in the future, and don't act like a petty bandit. The county has already investigated that Director Liu, and he does have many problems in his work. Seeing that we investigated him, he voluntarily withdrew the charges against you."
Lu Yao understood that this was pressure from above.
So Director Liu didn't dare to file a lawsuit.
Now that the newspaper is reporting on his article and it's about to be published, and the county is holding an awards ceremony, at this critical juncture, he won't let a small matter ruin his heroic image.
Mei Ping's efforts to protect Lu Yao were also a matter of weighing the pros and cons.
In addition, she is much more mature than before and less rigid.
Lu Yao thanked Mei Ping again.
Then they asked about Jing Yiming's case.
Mei Ping showed the case file to Lu Yao and explained the case.
Jing Yiming's attitude in explaining things was quite good.
Without much trouble, he explained his story in great detail from beginning to end.
Based on the clues he provided, the bureau has already arrested his superior agent.
This file contains all of Jing Yiming's confessions.
He stayed in China after the founding of the People's Republic of China, but at that time, General Kawanishi, who was in charge of leading the Japanese spies stationed there, did not assign him any tasks.
The most important thing is to get him to work hard and gain the organization's trust.
It's basically about keeping one card as a trump card.
We can't expect everyone to start looking for intelligence right after the founding of the People's Republic of China; we need to do it in an orderly fashion. Jing Yiming is the card we're keeping for future use.
Therefore, for the first ten years, Jing Yiming was doing well and had almost no contact with his superiors.
The remaining spies who stayed in Jiangzhou were all identified and brought to justice.
Jing Yiming worked diligently and honestly, and his outstanding skills and good interpersonal relationships led to his gradual rise in rank.
He rose from a self-taught worker to a technician, then to a workshop foreman, and finally to the director of a state-owned cotton mill.
It wasn't until the 1960s that Jing Yiming began to transmit production data, social dynamics, and government policy information as required by his superiors.
He certainly doesn't have any blood on his hands.
However, based on his espionage charges, he could face a minimum sentence of twenty years to life imprisonment.
Linghua will need ten to twenty years.
Until the final verdict is announced, no one can be certain.
The couple is in a stable mood right now, so you can tell Jing Youxiang there's no need to worry.
Mei Ping added that the Jing family's house was to be taken back, but some of Jing Youxiang's personal belongings had been inspected and found to be in good condition, so Lu Yao could take them back to her.
Jing Youxiang was indeed unaware of the situation, and since she was born and registered in China, she should not be subject to criminal prosecution or deportation.
However, the impact is inevitable.
I probably won't be able to keep my job.
This was already the best news for Lu Yao.
It doesn't matter that Jing Youxiang is unemployed; Lu Yao still wants to open a hospital in the future.
When Sister Yuejuan becomes the hospital director, she should at least give Jing Youxiang a position as head nurse.
After chatting with Mei Ping for a while, Lu Yao stood up:
"Sister Mei, I'll head back now. If there's anything you can do to help me, just have someone come find me."
"All right."
Mei Ping got up to see him off.
Lu Yao took a closer look at her...
"Sister Mei, you're so beautiful! Even up close, you're flawless, without a single freckle or blemish. Your skin is so fair!"
Mei Ping felt a little embarrassed by his effusive and almost shameless flattery.
I rolled my eyes at him:
"Hurry up and go, all you do is talk nonsense."
"How about a kiss, a goodbye kiss?"
"Bang!"
Mei Ping punched him in the stomach:
"Stop being so frivolous. You're about to get married and you're still flirting around. Talk to me properly from now on!"
"Yes, Sister Mei."
Lu Yao suddenly reached out and pinched her cheek.
Mei Ping reacted quickly, and being careful, she dodged the fall as soon as he leaned back.
But he took the opportunity to stab her in the stomach with his finger, then turned and ran away.
Mei Ping kicked the door frame.
"You little brat, don't let me catch you!"
Although he was annoyed that Lu Yao was being irresponsible, he wasn't really angry.
Mei Ping is a serious and stern person who rarely smiles.
However, there was nothing that could be done about Lu Yao.
Even the most prim and proper woman can be flirted with by a man, it just depends on who it is.
Even the most prim and proper woman can be flirted with by a man, it just depends on who it is.
Lu Yao's abilities were so great that Mei Ping was already impressed and even somewhat admired him, so she didn't mind him doing some excessive things.
As Lu Yao ran downstairs and was about to drive away, Mei Ping opened the window and called out:
"Don't drive the car anymore. Bring it back to me by tomorrow."
"Damn it! What a load of crap!"
Lu Yao uttered a sarcastic remark and drove off, ignoring her.
First, I drove home.
By the time the car reached the village entrance, it was already getting dark.
All the wires are connected, and the meter is finished too.
The entire village shares one electricity meter.
Only Lu Yao had the key to the meter box.
Lu Yao opened it to take a look. The wiring was connected, but the main power switch was pulled down. Pushing it back up would bring the power back on.
Don't push them, lest you electrocute them.
Lu Yao drove to Gou Shengzi's house and told him to take a gong and walk around the street twice, banging it and shouting to let everyone know that the electricity would be restored soon and to be careful.
After he called out twice, Lu Yao switched the power switch off at the village entrance.
"Wow... oh, there's electricity!"
As the lights came on one by one, cheers erupted from the Jiapigou production team.
People came out to look at the lamp after they finished looking inside.
They were happy to run around in the streets.
Lu Yao's push ignited Jiapigou.
This is a historic move.
This can be considered the first step for Jiapigou to enter the era of modernization.
Some of the elderly people were moved to tears and couldn't help but cry.
I never imagined that I would live to see electric lights in my home.
This feeling lingered even after dinner.
Lu Yao needs to tell everyone about the electricity billing issue, and that every household should not waste electricity.
However, Lu Yao decided not to tell him tonight.
Let everyone enjoy the light.
We will start assigning someone to manage the electricity usage tomorrow.
I drove back to my doorstep.
Inside the room, Lu Xiaoqian kept turning the lights on and off, playing around with them.
Jiang Guizhi slapped him:
"Don't break it, a light bulb is quite expensive!"
At that moment, Lu Yao walked in.
Lu Xiaoqian hopped over:
"Brother, we have lights in our house now. The whole village has lights now."
Jiang Guizhi couldn't help but laugh: "Your brother installed electricity for the whole village, how could he not know?"
As he spoke, he picked up a 15-watt red light bulb from the cabinet lid:
"Tuwazi, look, this is what your Aunt Xilian brought back for you from the city. She said she'd give you this red light bulb for your wedding night."
Aunt Xilian is quite detail-oriented; it was worth it to keep her in mind.
"Mom, I'm going to visit Xiao Meizi."
Lu Yao was still preoccupied with something and couldn't sit still in the room.
