1979 was a special year.
At least in the industrial sector, this is a memorable year.
The US is preparing to help my country establish a comprehensive standardization system, which will lay a solid foundation for my country to become an industrial power in the future.
In the same year, in July 1979, during that hot summer, something else happened at the Ministry of Industry, an event that was later recorded by some countries as "the beginning of the devil's day".
Ministry of Industry, July 13, 1979
Today, in the Ministry of Industry, Minister Li's roar echoed throughout the entire building, and all the employees were trembling with fear, not daring to utter a sound.
"Wh...what's going on?" Ye Zhao (Liu Guangtian's wife) shrank her neck and asked the older woman at the next workstation.
The eldest sister is the most well-informed person in this building.
The older sister looked around and noticed that everyone was looking at her, so she waved to them.
The comrades understood immediately and all gathered around.
This is quite a sight, as the Ministry of Industry was actually very busy during this period.
However, the fact that Minister Li, who is usually cheerful, suddenly lost his temper aroused everyone's curiosity.
If you don't figure this out, this job will be really difficult.
Seeing that everyone had gathered around, the eldest sister raised her eyebrows and said, "Do you know what the higher-ups are doing?"
"Hey, Sister Ma, if you know, just tell us. Don't worry us to death. This minister is so irritable, we can't even do our jobs with peace of mind."
“Yes, Sister Ma, if you know, just say so,” someone urged from the side.
"Does Secretary Wang know about this?"
"Of course you know, you'd say you don't know, you're the future successor." Someone rolled their eyes.
Wang Da Mi is also known as Wang Shouren.
The current secretary to the Minister of Industry.
He was also the next Minister of Industry, that was a foregone conclusion. Based on what Wang had accomplished over the years, no one dared to disobey him. Only those within the Ministry of Industry knew the immense contributions Wang had made to China's industrial development. Even during those ten years, he was never idle; wherever there was a problem, he went.
Moreover, she's quite good-looking.
"This time, I heard it's related to Secretary Wang's matter."
"How could Secretary Wang possibly anger Minister Li? Wasn't it said that he had connections that reached the highest levels?" someone asked curiously.
"He's got connections, but he brought this on himself!" The older woman slapped her thigh, then lowered her voice and said, "I heard he had some issues with his personal life and someone exposed it."
"ha?!"
"Um?!"
"What?"
"Then why doesn't he contact me..." A young girl said with a look of regret.
Everyone turned to look at her.
She wasn't even embarrassed: "What's wrong? Secretary Wang is so beautiful..."
"Go away, little girl, how can you have no shame! If this were before, you would have been shot."
"Don't bring up the past, Sister Ma, please continue. Even if it's a matter of personal conduct, it doesn't warrant such a big outburst. After all, he's Secretary Wang."
In the ministry, everyone has some connections, more or less. Even if you didn't have connections and got in through your own exams, you'll still hear rumors. If you make a mistake, so be it. As long as you're capable enough and your mistake doesn't cross the line, you still have a chance to correct it.
Thinking about it more deeply, this isn't necessarily a bad thing for Minister Li. After all, Secretary Wang's contributions have been so great that they've become somewhat of a threat to his authority.
It's a good thing to take this opportunity to give them a warning.
“That’s not the key point. It’s one thing to make a mistake in one’s lifestyle,” Sister Ma said. “The key point is that this Secretary Wang is no ordinary person. You know, if you make a mistake and your superiors tell you to correct it, you can correct it. But he refuses. He says it’s true love. This young man, he has a whole repertoire of words.”
"True love? What about his wife?" Ye Zhao couldn't help but ask.
"That's the problem. You say the mistress is true love, then it's nothing. At most, you just have to give your current wife a little more compensation by marrying the mistress."
"Sister Ma, how could you do this!" Ye Zhao frowned.
"Don't rush, don't rush, keep listening." Sister Ma waved her hand: "Do you know, Secretary Wang said something that made the minister furious."
"What did he say?"
He said I wanted both.
The crowd; ...
Good grief, wanting both of them is really something.
"Then...then...isn't that illegal?"
"What law did you break?" Aunt Ma raised an eyebrow.
"Didn't they say you can't marry two people?"
"He didn't marry two women, he just stayed with two of them."
"This..." The group looked at each other in bewilderment.
You know what, it's really true.
"If you ask me, it's not a big deal. At most, we just need to do some ideological work with Secretary Wang. He'll agree on the surface, but behind the scenes, he'll still do whatever he wants. We just need to be careful. But Secretary Wang is different. He wants to resign."
"What?!" XN
This left the entire office stunned by what he had just said.
The sound was so loud that it startled Sister Ma.
"What are you doing? Why are you making such a fuss?"
"You mean he's going to resign? He's Chief Secretary Wang!"
Here, everyone knows what Chief Secretary Wang means. Many have predicted that he might even rise to a certain position. And then he resigned just like that. Who believes that?
"I don't know," Sister Ma shrugged. "Anyway, this is what I heard."
"This shouldn't be happening..."
"There's no reason..."
As Sister Ma's remarks spread, a heated discussion erupted within the entire Ministry of Industry. Almost everyone felt that Sister Ma's statement was problematic.
How is that possible? Someone who could potentially reach the top. What gives him the right? Just like that, he resigns.
Minister's Office.
The office was a mess. The two rows of bookshelves that had been neatly arranged behind Li Weiguo had been moved outwards. It was said that this office was going to be moved; the Ministry of Industry was currently understaffed and needed to expand. Since the standardization agreement was signed, the entire Ministry of Industry had begun to expand rapidly. But now, Minister Li had no time to care about the issue of expansion.
He stood there, staring wide-eyed at Wang Shouren, who was sitting.
"Wang Shouren, you've got guts! You dare to pull this trick on me!" With that, Li Weiguo pulled a letter from his pocket, slammed it on the table, and roared, "Don't you know I don't know what you're up to behind the scenes?! You think I'm stupid for turning a blind eye?!"
The letter on the table was...
