Chapter 54: Hanze Zixu
Gou Yingbiao's eyes were bloodshot and he was panting like a cow. Prince Xu's scolding made him feel like he was suddenly awakened from a dream in the middle of the night. His whole body was shaking, and his heart felt as if it was being squeezed by something and it hurt so much. His temples were throbbing.

Wang Zixu clenched his fists and stood as straight as a flagpole. He looked gentle and refined, but from the distance, he looked like he could be punched at any time, which caused Gou Yingbiao great psychological pressure.

The anger of an honest person is like a fish bone hidden in white rice, causing an unexpected blow. Gou Yingbiao was caught off guard and blocked in the office. He did not expect this situation at all, so his tone was naturally soft.

"The evaluation is an organizational decision. If you have any objections, you can report them to the organization through proper channels instead of getting angry and slamming the table here! I'm telling you, Wang Zixu, based on your behavior, you won't be awarded the honor this year!"

Wang Zixu smiled contemptuously: "If it weren't for what happened today, would I have been awarded the title of Excellence? Gou Yingbiao, your skill in making big promises is still as good as ever, but leave it for your mother to eat! Let me tell you, I haven't thought about the title of Excellence three years ago!

"What? It's the decision of the organization! When you didn't decide on the candidate, you would just go through the motions? Who in our unit doesn't know 'no running, no sending, use in the same place'? You didn't really hypnotize yourself and think you were fair, did you?"

Gou Yingbiao pointed at Wang Zixu's nose and said, "Explain yourself clearly! What do you mean by internal appointment? What do you mean by 'no running and no sending, use on the spot'? In which year was the evaluation not discussed by the team? In which year was the excellence not the result of public expectations? In which year was there no meeting records and file ledgers? Explain yourself clearly!"

"What everyone expects?" Wang Zixu smiled coldly, "Gou Yingbiao, do you want me to help you recall that the last time you had a meeting, you were still arranging forged meeting minutes!

"Let me help you recall it again. It was 2017! The person who was evaluated for excellence was the old comrade Zhao Xichun. You talked to me and said that Mr. Zhao would retire in two years. Before his retirement, we had to go through a process to give him a mention. Do you remember?
"But fucking ask the old comrades, has anyone seen Zhao Xichun in the office? I've worked here for seven or eight years, and I don't even know what he looks like! Eating a salary without working! Is this what you call popular demand!?

"In 2018, the unit wanted to transfer a staff position to another public institution. You selected Zhang Mengwen as the person. As soon as this young man joined the unit, he only wanted to take the civil service exam. He never did the assigned tasks. Whenever he was busy, he would have a stomachache and ask for leave. You wanted to get rid of him.

"He ended up arguing with you for three days. He only gave up after you promised him the best award of the year and let him leave with honor. He arrived at the new unit and joined the team the following year, but he still didn't do anything. Is this what you call popular support?!"

"2019 years..."

"Lao Wang, what's wrong with you? If you have anything to say, can't you just talk it out after get off work? You're causing such a bad impact!"

Xiang Zhiqiang interrupted him, squeezed in from the door, grabbed Wang Zixu's arm and dragged him out.

"Let go!"

"Calm down first! I'm doing this for your own good!"

Wang Zixu struggled and was dragged to the door. He was shocked when he saw the scene in the corridor.

The corridor was full of people. Zhang Cangnian stood at the door of the office, holding a teacup in his hand, his lips pursed, and he said nothing; Xu Shichao was stunned, and Diao Yiwen looked horrified.

Many colleagues were looking around in the corridor, but they just listened silently, no one said a word. The silence was eerie and terrifying.

Wang Zixu broke free from Xiang Zhiqiang, turned around and pointed at him:
"Xiang Zhiqiang, I'm warning you. I'm currently dealing with a personal feud with Gou Yingbiao. I have no grudge against you, but if you want to stop me, I'll come back and deal with you! I can give up this job, but can you? Think it over before you try to stop the fight!"

Xiang Zhiqiang was frightened and let go. Someone nearby pulled him away as a way out. No one dared to wade into this muddy water. Wang Zixu turned around and rushed back to Director Gou's desk with a fierce look on his face, and then said:

"In 2019, the city encountered a once-in-a-century flood, and most of the people in the unit were transferred to the river bank to prevent the flood. You gave the award to Hu Xiaoping that year, saying she was an advanced flood fighter. But she stayed behind the front line the whole time, and she never went to the river bank!
"Many of my colleagues didn't go home for a week, risked infection with schistosomiasis, ate, slept on the dike, and were bitten by mosquitoes and fleas countless times. But you gave excellence to someone who didn't even go to the dike! Isn't it because you can get free gas at the gas station owned by her husband?!

"Gou Yingbiao, let me tell you, I have never thought about getting promoted since that year! I am still working diligently, not for promotion, but because I want to do my job well. Don't think that you are good at drawing cakes! I have a soft throat and can't eat such hard cakes!"

Gou Yingbiao was so angry that he was shaking. He pointed out the window and said, "Okay, then go and report me. Go to the Discipline Inspection Commission and report me! Do you think the comrades of the Discipline Inspection Commission will believe me or you, the troublemaker who slammed the table in front of the leader, cursed in front of him, and used foul language?"

Wang Zixu said: "I cursed? If you didn't have high blood pressure, I would be afraid you would die here, and I would beat you up!"

Gou Yingbiao took two steps back: "Wang Zixu! What the hell are you trying to do? I told you, if you insist on this Excellence, I can consider you next year! You can't think that if you are ruthless, Excellence will be given to you. This is a government agency, not a gang!"

Wang Zixu took two steps forward and said, "Shut up! I'm not good! I came here today just to scold you! It's because of corrupt officials like you that the whole unit is in such a mess!
"There are no principles, no discipline, no bottom line. People in the unit want to push their work away. The harder you work, the more work you have. The less you work, the less you have. It is a pride to keep your hands out of things, and it is a shame to work hard!
"Those who work hard get no rewards, while those who cheat and cheat get promoted step by step. They are all masters of formalism, and they regard flattery, running errands and giving gifts as skills. The unit is rotten! The source of the problem lies with you, a rotten person with a rotten heart, a rotten liver and a rotten lung!
"I'm telling you, Gou Yingbiao, I don't want to be excellent. I never want to be excellent in my life. You are not qualified to give me the excellent rating. You don't deserve it!"

Gou Yingbiao covered his heart and coughed violently. His chest made a roaring sound and his face turned red. He looked like he was about to fall to the ground. He pointed his finger at Wang Zixu, like the victim in a suspense film identifying the murderer before his death. His face was full of pain but he couldn't utter a word for a long time.

He didn't understand when Wang Zixu became so bold. He had never complained before when he rubbed her casually, just like an automatic sensor light. Who knew that the sudden failure today would cause such terrible consequences?

"Wang Zixu, let me tell you, as long as I'm in this unit, you'll never have a good life! Promotion? Forget it! I'm the director, do you think I can't fire you and can't do anything to you? I have ten thousand ways to deal with you! I'll deal with you until you can't do it anymore and leave! Just wait and see!"

"What are you waiting for?"

A deep voice interrupted their quarrel, as if the floodgates of a dam were slowly lowered to shut off the rushing river. The people crowded in the corridor held their breath and retreated like a tide, staring at the man with their lips tightly closed.

A large figure came in from the door, with an aura of authority that made him look intimidating without even being angry, and the air in the office suddenly turned cold.

"Gou Yingbiao, how come you ended up arguing over work? What's going on?"

Gou Yingbiao was panting just now, but when he saw the person coming, he quickly restrained his expression and came forward to ask, "Director Mei, why are you here? Why didn't you tell me you were coming?"

The person who came was Mei Rucheng.

Wang Zixu raised his eyebrows, also looking stunned. He saw that behind Director Mei, Section Chief Liu winked at him.
