Li Junsheng smiled calmly at Deputy Section Chief Jin, then said loudly, "Since Deputy Section Chief Jin thinks my evidence is insufficient, please wait a moment. I'll make a phone call and go get someone who can vouch for me. Deputy Section Chief Jin will understand once he meets him!"
After saying that, Li Junsheng didn't care what Deputy Section Chief Jin thought. He just answered the phone and dialed a number.
Qin Yong, Deputy Section Chief Jin, and Tang Dongliang watched Li Junsheng make a phone call. They heard him greet the person on the other end of the line and then ask if the person on the other end had any free time.
"I've run into a bit of a problem and need your help with something..."
"Okay, then I'll wait for you here in the equipment department!"
Li Junsheng quickly hung up the phone and then waited for his helpers to arrive.
Tang Dongliang was disdainful of this, thinking that Li Junsheng could not possibly bring in any powerful reinforcements!
Deputy Section Chief Jin was also puzzled, wondering who Li Junsheng had called.
He had a bad feeling about this, so he pressed Li Junsheng for an answer: "Who did you call? You're being so secretive, acting all mysterious!"
Li Junsheng smiled slightly, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
"Deputy Section Chief Jin will know who I called when he sees the person later. I won't say any more."
A look of displeasure flashed in Deputy Section Chief Jin's eyes. He had just taken over the Equipment Section, and there was someone like this putting on airs in front of him. This made Deputy Section Chief Jin feel like he had lost face!
Deputy Section Chief Jin glanced impatiently at his watch and said coldly to Li Junsheng, "I have a meeting to attend later. I'll wait for you for ten more minutes at most. If you don't come in ten minutes, you can go back now."
"Don't worry, it won't take more than ten minutes, and it won't delay Deputy Section Chief Jin's meeting."
Li Junsheng knew the machinery factory like the back of his hand and estimated that Zheng Rong would come over in six or seven minutes at most!
Deputy Section Chief Jin intentionally tried to intimidate Li Junsheng, and during those few minutes, he made no mention of asking Li Junsheng to sit down and talk.
Instead, Deputy Section Chief Jin sat down first in the seat where Section Chief Zhou usually sat.
Tang Dongliang sat to the side, looking particularly smug, watching Li Junsheng being harassed.
Just then, Zheng Rong pushed the door open and entered. The moment he saw him, Deputy Section Chief Jin jumped up from his seat.
"Director Zheng, what brings you here? If you have any instructions, just have your secretary come and tell me. Please have a seat."
Deputy Section Chief Jin pulled up a chair for Zheng Rong and asked him to sit down and talk.
Zheng Rong completely ignored Deputy Section Chief Jin, and instead smiled warmly at Li Junsheng, saying, "Brother Li, why are you standing here? Come sit in my office for a while, let's have some tea!"
Upon hearing that Zheng Rong and Li Junsheng were on friendly terms, Deputy Section Chief Jin was initially incredulous, then his face turned pale.
He seems to have offended someone powerful. This Li Junsheng initially called him Section Chief Jin, but now he calls him Deputy Section Chief Jin. He won't say anything bad about him to Director Zheng!
Should I let myself be excluded from the position of head of the equipment department?
Li Junsheng had been watching Jin's expression closely. Seeing that he was now scared and his face had turned pale, he could only find it amusing!
Li Junsheng turned to Zheng Rong and said, "Director Zheng, we might not be able to have tea today. I've run into some trouble!"
As he said this, Li Junsheng pointed to Deputy Section Chief Jin. Zheng Rong looked at Deputy Section Chief Jin suspiciously, then asked, "What trouble is it? Tell me about it, brother."
When Director Zheng glanced at him, Deputy Section Chief Jin's heart skipped a beat. He knew he was in trouble and couldn't let Director Zheng know that he was making things difficult for Li Junsheng!
Otherwise, I'll be finished!
Thinking of this, Deputy Section Chief Jin hurriedly tried to speak, but Li Junsheng spoke first.
"Director Zheng, isn't it because Section Chief Zhou was suspended from his duties for investigation, and Deputy Section Chief Jin took over the Equipment Department? Today I was hauling scrap materials as usual, and the procedures were always in order. But Deputy Section Chief Jin said it wasn't enough to prove whether I was a legitimate scrap recycling operator."
"He told me to get another certificate from the relevant department, otherwise I can't take the waste from the factory. I didn't know which department to go to for the certificate, so I thought of you!"
“You know me. Your words are definitely more useful than any certificate issued outside, which is why I asked you to come over despite your busy schedule.”
Zheng Rong, who had risen to the position of deputy factory director, was no fool. As soon as he heard Li Junsheng say this, he knew in his heart that Deputy Section Chief Jin was just making a scene as a new official and deliberately making things difficult for Li Junsheng!
Why make things difficult for the factory's benefactor?
Zheng Rong glanced at Deputy Section Chief Jin, his eyes filled with coldness, which startled Deputy Section Chief Jin into breaking out in a cold sweat.
Faced with Zheng Rong's stern and cold gaze, Deputy Section Chief Jin forced a smile and hurriedly explained to Zheng Rong, "Director Zheng, it's just that the whereabouts of the scrap materials are more important. I just took over the equipment department and I'm afraid of making mistakes, so I'm keeping a closer eye on things!"
"I didn't know that this Mr. Li was an acquaintance of yours. If I had known that Mr. Li was an acquaintance of yours, why would I have bothered checking the documents? Look at the mess this has made."
Despite Deputy Section Chief Jin's best efforts to smooth things over, Zheng Rong remained unconvinced.
Zheng Rong then retorted to Deputy Section Chief Jin, "So, I should praise you for being conscientious and responsible?"
Qin Yong covered his mouth and suppressed a laugh behind Li Junsheng. This Deputy Section Chief Jin was just swaggering and arrogant a moment ago!
Now, when they see Director Zheng, they cower like mice before a cat.
Faced with Zheng Rong's question, Deputy Section Chief Jin hesitated and couldn't give a clear answer.
He lowered his head, like a guilty child who had done something wrong!
Factory Director Zheng didn't care what he thought, and only emphasized to him about Li Junsheng hauling the factory's waste.
"Deputy Section Chief Jin, let me tell you something. I've contracted out all the scrap materials from our machinery factory to this Mr. Li Junsheng. From now on, when he comes to the factory to haul scrap materials, he won't need all those complicated procedures. You just need to have the warehouse open the door for Mr. Li, understand?"
After hearing Zheng Rong's words, Deputy Section Chief Jin was somewhat dumbfounded.
Unexpectedly, Director Zheng directly contracted the waste disposal to Li Junsheng, and even personally told me not to make things difficult for Li Junsheng!
Deputy Section Chief Jin dared not disobey Director Zheng's words.
He immediately obeyed and flattered Li Junsheng with a smile, saying, "I'm sorry, Mr. Li. I just took over the equipment department and didn't know that all the factory's scrap materials were contracted to you. I'll have the warehouse staff open the door for you to get the goods right away. I hope you won't hold it against me!"
Li Junsheng smiled politely, not really liking Deputy Section Chief Jin's quick change of attitude and flattery.
This person racked their brains to make things difficult for me. If only they had known this earlier!
"Brother Li, there's no rush to pick up the goods. You can come to pick up the goods whenever you want. Sit down with me first and let's catch up."
Zheng Rong warmly invited Li Junsheng to stay for tea and to reminisce. Li Junsheng had just asked Zheng Rong for help, so he couldn't refuse Zheng Rong now!
