"Comrade Zhengguo! Vice Minister Bai shouldn't be here yet. Why don't you come and sit in my office first?"
Faced with Deputy Director Jiang's invitation, Sun Zhengguo did not refuse, but instead said very politely.
"Then I'll have to trouble Deputy Director Jiang."
"Why are you being so polite with me?"
After they finished speaking, the three of them went to the office together. As soon as they entered the room, Deputy Director Jiang greeted them.
"Comrade Zhengguo! Please make yourself at home, don't be shy."
"This must be Technician Chen, right? Please have a seat, it'll make you feel right at home."
"Thank you, Deputy Director Jiang."
After the two sat down, Deputy Director Jiang poured two more cups of tea, and then they started talking about Sun Zhengguo's current work situation.
The group hadn't been chatting for long when Secretary Hu rushed over.
"Deputy Section Chief Sun, the leader guessed you would be here. Hurry up and go over! Vice Minister Bai wants to see you."
"Okay, I'm coming right away."
As Sun Zhengguo spoke, he stood up and then greeted Deputy Director Jiang.
"Deputy Director Jiang, I apologize for disturbing you today. Let's chat again when we have time."
"Okay! Go quickly! Don't keep the boss waiting."
After leaving Deputy Director Jiang's office, the three of them went together to Deputy Minister Bai's office.
Upon entering the room, they saw Vice Minister Bai holding a report and reading it intently.
"Boss, Deputy Section Chief Sun and the others have arrived."
Secretary Hu reported softly.
Upon hearing the voice, Vice Minister Bai looked up, glanced at it, and then handed the report in his hand to Sun Zhengguo.
"Comrade Zhengguo, take a look at this. It was just delivered by the disciplinary committee. I wonder if you are satisfied with this explanation?"
"Yes, Vice Minister Bai."
Sun Zhengguo responded with a smile, and reached out to take the report, quickly skimming through it.
It turns out that this was a report on Huang Guangquan's crimes, compiled by disciplinary committee staff working overtime last night. It detailed his criminal acts and the amount of money involved.
Sun Zhengguo never expected that Section Chief Huang was so audacious. In addition to deceiving his superiors, he secretly demanded a lot of benefits from the factories below.
If he didn't give it to me, he would make things difficult for me in every way, which resulted in the accumulated amount reaching more than 30,000 yuan over the years.
Of course, there must be some kind of backing protection involved; otherwise, Huang Guangquan certainly couldn't have done it.
Since the report didn't mention it, it's clear they didn't want to delve into it further.
Sun Zhengguo was naturally satisfied after reading the report, after all, he had a grudge against Section Chief Huang.
As for the person behind Section Chief Huang? What does that have to do with Sun Zhengguo? As long as you don't mess with me, that's fine.
"Thank you, boss. I'm very satisfied with this result."
"Hmm! Okay, as long as you're satisfied. These parasites should have been eradicated long ago, otherwise you wouldn't have left!"
Although Huang Guangquan was dealt with, the damage was done and Sun Zhengguo had no intention of returning to the Ministry of Metallurgy. He pretended not to understand what Vice Minister Bai was saying and simply nodded in agreement.
Seeing that Sun Zhengguo did not respond to his words, Vice Minister Bai understood his meaning and was not angry. Instead, he directly assigned tasks.
"Comrade Zhengguo, I hope you can bring our colleagues from the Second Technical Section to participate in this renovation mission. Please give them more guidance on their skills so that they can grow quickly. Otherwise, you'll be exhausted by yourself."
Sun Zhengguo certainly nodded in agreement to this additional task.
After he finished transforming the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, he would definitely have to go back to the Ministry of Machinery. What would happen to the remaining mills?
So even if Vice Minister Bai didn't say anything, he would still take the initiative to bring a group of people out to reduce his workload.
"Haha! Well done, I knew you were right. Since that's the case, and Huang Guangquan has been arrested, Section One is now leaderless. I'll temporarily put the rest of the men in your care!"
"this……?"
Sun Zhengguo hesitated for a moment. He really didn't want to take on the few mediocre students left in the first subject.
"Don't be so quick to refuse. Here's what I'm thinking: through this renovation work, could you help me see if there's a suitable candidate who can take on the responsibility of the Technical Section One? Consider it a favor!"
Having said all that, Sun Zhengguo had no choice but to accept the task.
"Alright! I can agree to this, but I'm warning you upfront: if anyone disobeys orders, I have the right to fire them immediately."
"Let's see who dares to do that. I'll have Secretary Hu go with you in a bit. If anyone dares to disobey your orders, you don't need to report to me; you can fire them directly."
"Secretary Hu, I hope you can make it clear to these people later that they should restrain themselves and not pretend to comply with me."
"Yes, sir!"
Secretary Hu replied respectfully.
He didn't expect his boss to be so angry this time. He hoped that his subordinates wouldn't cause any more trouble, otherwise, no one could save them.
"Comrade Sun Zhengguo! I wish you a resounding success in this transformation mission."
After everything was arranged, Vice Minister Bai stood up, extended his right hand, and offered words of encouragement.
Sun Zhengguo quickly stepped forward, grasped Vice Minister Bai's hands tightly, and solemnly expressed his stance.
"Please rest assured, leaders, we will certainly live up to the organization's expectations and strive to complete the transformation task as soon as possible."
"Alright! I'll be waiting for your triumphant return. It's getting late, Secretary Hu, you take them there. If they need anything, just let me know."
"Yes, boss."
After leaving the office, the group went together to the Technical Section 1.
In the office of a staff member in the Technical Section 1, Xiao Wang, who had lost face in the morning, was now bragging in order to regain some sense of superiority in front of his colleagues.
"Hey! Did you guys know? I heard that Section Chief Huang has fallen from grace this time, and the higher-ups are planning to select a new deputy section chief from within our organization to manage our section."
"Hey! Brother Wang, does that mean you have the best chance? You'll have to look out for me when the time comes!"
The male colleague in the office immediately began to flatter him.
"Yes, yes, yes! I don't respect anyone but Brother Wang."
Another female colleague was not to be outdone and also flattered him.
"No problem, no problem. The three of us are all in the same boat. If I become the deputy section chief, I will definitely take care of you."
Just as the three were daydreaming, Secretary Hu walked in from outside with an unhappy expression, followed by Sun Zhengguo and Chen Lianshan. They had heard everything the three had just said.
"Secretary Hu, why did you come in person? Please let me know if there's anything you need, and I guarantee I'll handle it to your satisfaction."
Upon seeing Secretary Hu arrive in person, Xiao Wang was the first to greet him politely.
It has to be said that while Xiao Wang didn't learn any other skills from following Section Chief Huang, his flattery skills were unparalleled.
“Listen up, all of you. From today onwards, you will all follow this Deputy Section Chief Sun. If anyone dares to disobey, he has the right to fire you. Don’t say I didn’t warn you; this is an order personally given by Deputy Minister Bai.”
Secretary Hu didn't mince words and directly stated his purpose.
The people in the office felt a chill run down their spines upon hearing this order.
