Former classmates and friends Sun Shaoping, Tian Xiaoxia, Tian Runsheng, Hou Yuying, and Gu Yangmin gathered together to celebrate Xiaoxia's upcoming career as a reporter; they drank, sang, and had a great time.Sun Yuting was arguing with others because he owed money. Tian Fujun who was passing by saw him and asked him to help him solve it.Tian Fujun talked to Sun Yuting and talked about how he implemented the production responsibility system; he sarcastically said that now that Shaoan has implemented the production responsibility system, his life has become better.Tian Fujun and Zhang Youzhi met. Tian Fujun wanted Zhou Wenlong to be Zhang Youzhi's deputy, deputy secretary and county magistrate, but Zhang Youzhi strongly opposed it.Unexpectedly, after not seeing each other for a long time, Zhang Youzhi turned into a person Tian Fujun didn't recognize, and even blamed himself for not having the courage to criticize his friends.The brick-burning master came. The master and Shaoan advanced one month's salary, but Shaoan gave him three months' advance.Shaoan's actions aroused Xiulian's strong dissatisfaction, and she also told Shaoan to be more careful.Xiaoxia accompanied Shaoping to get a job, but she didn't expect to meet Xiaocui again on the road. She is now cooking for Hu Yongzhou.Shaoping didn't expect that things would happen again, and he was very angry.The considerate Xiaoxia comforted him and helped him find a solution together.Xiulian told Shaoan that there were too many people in the brick factory and they couldn't pay wages, but Shaoan couldn't bear to refuse people who came to work. At this time, someone came to Shaoan to ask for work, and Shaoan readily agreed.Xiulian could only sulk alone.After Xiaoxia's interview and data collection, she wrote an article about how job seekers were exploited and published it in a newspaper, exposing Hu Yongzhou-like figures to the public.
