"You still think you did nothing wrong?" Dou Baoguo raged. "If you didn't do anything wrong, would they have reported you?"
At that moment, Xu Baoshan grabbed Zhao Jun and asked him, "Zhao Jun, what's going on here?"
"What do you mean, 'what's going on'?" Dou Baoguo stepped forward and yanked Xu Baoshan away. "What's there to ask? The log is sitting right over there, isn't it?" Then, he turned and asked Zhao Qingzhu, "Where's the log?"
"Over here!" Zhao Qingzhu led the group to the basswood log. Xu Baoshan took the measuring stick from Zhang Xuefeng, glanced at Dou Baoguo, then went to the thicker end of the log and measured it himself.
Seeing Xu Baoshan take the measurement himself, Dou Baoguo, who had been repeatedly assured by Zhao Qingzhu, showed no hesitation. He demanded of Xu Baoshan in a harsh, domineering tone, "What is it? You say it yourself."
Xu Baoshan replied calmly, "4.60."
