Chapter 368: The Battle for Power, Being Tried Out



The women in the room were all as ferocious as wolves and tigers, people who had seen "big scenes". The more they talked, the more explicit and outrageous they became. Someone even suggested going to Zhao Jie's office right now to talk to him about how to reduce his sexual desire... to let him know that these female comrades are not easy to ride on.

Zhao Jie returned to the office, but he was not in the mood to drink tea. He paced around the room with his hands behind his back, sighing.

At this time, Hu Xiaoxing knocked on the door and walked in.

As soon as he saw Zhao Jie's face, he knew that he was worried about the recent disciplinary issues in the management office and the approval hall.

Hu Xiaoxing also sighed and said, "Director Zhao, why don't we go meet with County Magistrate Li Lin first and tell him everything about the current situation in the approval hall and ask him to give us a little more time... Otherwise, if he comes tomorrow and sees that this place is still a mess, he will be angry. We have only been in office for half a month and haven't even passed the probation period. Don't send us away in anger."

"Exile" is of course a bit exaggerated, but given Li Lin's temper, a scolding is inevitable!

Zhao Jie shook his head helplessly and said, "I... When I first came here, I promised County Magistrate Li that I would achieve results in the shortest possible time. But now look... No matter how much I emphasize and how I make moves, the people in the management office still do what they want, not to mention the window units downstairs. They don't take us seriously and treat our words as farts... I'm not afraid of being scolded now, but I don't want to disappoint County Magistrate Li Lin."

Hu Xiaoxing nodded in agreement, "You are right. County Magistrate Li Lin had high hopes for us, but in the end, we didn't achieve any results. We really failed to live up to his trust... Otherwise... let's hold another general meeting and inform everyone to pay attention to discipline in the next two days. Let's deal with County Magistrate Li Lin first, and then we can take the time to deal with the chaos in the approval hall?"

When Zhao Jie heard Hu Xiaoxing's proposal, he hesitated.

It is a bit difficult to expect everyone in the approval hall to abide by discipline for a long time, and we know that it cannot be done now.

However, there is no problem in making them disciplined employees in the short term.

As long as you promise them some benefits, such as giving them more welfare during the holidays or something, and then scare them by saying that the Discipline Inspection Commission is conducting a strict investigation recently... Using these two approaches, there will be absolutely no problem getting them to maintain discipline for three or two days.

But Zhao Jie didn't want to do this, because deceiving Li Lin would make him feel guilty!

Li Lin trusted him so much that he took great pains to promote him to the position of the top leader of the county. How could he have the heart to use such despicable means to fool Li Lin?

He shook his head firmly and said, "No! County Magistrate Li Lin is so good to us, we can't treat him like that... Let's be realistic. I'm ready to be scolded. I just hope that County Magistrate Li Lin can give us one more chance and give us a little more time. I believe that as long as we have firm faith, we will be able to manage the approval hall well."

Hu Xiaoxing felt ashamed as he listened to Zhao Jie's righteous words. Yes, Li Lin trusted them so much, how could they do such a thing to deceive Li Lin?

His face flushed, and he lowered his head and said, "Director Zhao, you are right. We cannot do something like that to deceive County Magistrate Li Lin. There is something wrong with my thinking, a big problem. I apologize to you and I will not do it again."

Zhao Jie walked to Hu Xiaoxing, patted him on the shoulder twice, looked at him solemnly, and nodded silently. He knew that Hu Xiaoxing was also anxious for a moment, just because he didn't want to disappoint Li Lin, so he made a wrong decision rashly. He could understand Hu Xiaoxing's feelings, and seeing that he sincerely admitted his mistakes, he didn't continue to pursue it.

Through observing Zhao Jie and Hu Xiaoxing for some time, Liu Li concluded that they were just paper tigers that could only show their fangs and claws but could not bite anyone. They were far inferior to Hu Zhiquan.

As a senior deputy director of the management office, her subordinates still respected her. She thought that Zhao Jie and Hu Xiaoxing had offended almost everyone in the management office, and if she stepped forward, she would definitely get a lot of support. Why not take this opportunity to take control of the management office?

As for what to do, she already has an idea.

First, give Zhao Jie and Hu Xiaoxing a warning and let them know Liu Li's status in the unit. No one would dare to do anything without her approval. In this way, no matter what Zhao Jie wants to do, he has to go through Liu Li to implement it. Over time, wouldn't Zhao Jie, the director, become a mere figurehead?

Thinking of this, Liu Li showed a smug smile.

She picked up the union documents on the table and walked towards Zhao Jie's office.

Coincidentally, Hu Xiaoxing was also in Zhao Jie's office, so she didn't have to go to Hu Xiaoxing alone to put pressure on him.

"Deputy Director Liu, is there anything wrong?"

Zhao Jie was feeling annoyed and asked with an unhappy look on his face.

Liu Li smiled calmly, handed the union documents in her hand to Zhao Jie, and said nonchalantly, "Director Zhao, we just said that New Year's Day is coming soon, and our employees have paid union dues. I want to ask you if you can take out some of the dues to provide some holiday benefits for our comrades?"

This was a common practice in the past, as each unit was of different sizes and had different standards for distributing benefits.

For a public institution like the management office which does not have sufficient funding, they would just give out two boxes of gifts during the holidays as a token of appreciation.

Zhao Jie thought for a moment and said, "Then give it to the comrades, and try to set the per capita quota lower. You also know that our management office..."

"That won't do!" Before Zhao Jie could finish, Liu Li retorted, "Comrades have worked hard for a whole year. At this time of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, of course we should give them more generous benefits. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a chilling relief for the comrades?"
