"Okay, you can go now!"
A voice came from inside the office. The comrade who brought Li Junsheng gave him a "good luck" look, then turned and left.
Li Junsheng waited at the door, but the director of the power supply station did not let him in for a long time.
After waiting for a while, Li Junsheng realized that the director of the power supply station was deliberately keeping him waiting.
Li Junsheng couldn't recall ever offending him, so why was he being treated this way?
He couldn't understand it, but Li Junsheng wasn't puzzled. He had lived two lives and had seen countless people in high positions who would make things difficult for others for no reason in order to show off their status.
I guess this director is that kind of person too.
Knock knock knock!
Instead of waiting to be killed, Li Junsheng knocked on the office door of the power supply station director.
"Director, may I go in?"
After he finished speaking, Li Junsheng waited for a while before someone came to open the door for him.
As soon as the door opened, Li Junsheng sized up the director of the power supply station, while the director was also sizing him up.
"Hello, Director! I'm sorry to bother you. There was a sudden power outage at my factory, so I came in a rush. Please forgive me!"
Li Junsheng gave the director a polite smile and offered him a good cigarette.
Seeing that Li Junsheng had been left hanging for so long, yet he didn't get angry or lose his temper, and didn't offend him on the surface, maintaining a friendly and smiling attitude, the director began to think more highly of Li Junsheng.
Such patience is extraordinary; it's sure to lead to success!
No wonder he was able to become the factory director!
"Is this Factory Director Li? I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I have some urgent business to attend to. Please come in."
The director formally invited Li Junsheng in and even poured him tea.
As Li Junsheng took the enamel mug handed to him by the director, he keenly sensed that the man didn't seem to have any particularly obvious malice towards him!
Then why keep yourself out of the loop?
Something's inexplicably strange...
Li Junsheng didn't come here for tea. As soon as the director sat down, he immediately brought up the matter of the power outage at the food processing plant!
"Director, our food processing plant is out of power. What's going on? I haven't received any power outage notice from above, and our factory doesn't owe any electricity bills!"
As soon as the topic turned to business, the director immediately started speaking in official jargon to Li Junsheng.
"It's just that there's a tight power supply lately, so there are occasional power outages. Don't panic too much. Once the power supply is less tight, these problems won't happen again."
Is there a power shortage?
Li Junsheng did not believe the director's explanation.
"If electricity is in short supply, why is it that other places haven't lost power, but only our food processing plant has? Large processing plants like ours are the ones that absolutely cannot afford to lose power!"
"Everything should prioritize the people!"
The director's words seemed to be all relevant, but in reality, they were all irrelevant, and he simply refused to answer the questions that Li Junsheng had in his heart.
Li Junsheng was so angry he almost laughed.
"Our food processing plant also serves the people, Director. When will our food processing plant have its power restored?"
"Well, you can go back and wait for notification. Power will be restored to you when the electricity shortage is over."
In short, there's no specific timeframe.
The director seemed to have no patience to talk to Li Junsheng any longer and sent him back directly!
Seeing that the director was beating around the bush and not giving him a direct answer, Li Junsheng felt that this matter was probably not simple.
Could there have been some recent changes in the area around my factory?
The director must keep quiet until the official notification comes down from above?
Thinking of this, Li Junsheng took out a pack of cigarettes from the inside pocket of his shirt.
What looks like cigarettes is actually a box full of money rolled into cigarette shapes!
"Director, have a smoke. I won't ask when the power will be restored to our factory. Can you just give me a straight answer? Has anything major changed in the area around my factory?"
Upon seeing the distinctive cigarettes in Li Junsheng's cigarette pack, the director raised an eyebrow, surprised that he was quite worldly-wise and savvy.
Since that's the case, the director decided to give Li Junsheng a heads-up!
The director first took the whole pack of cigarettes and then gave Li Junsheng a clear answer.
"Everything in your factory area is normal, there are no major changes. But you, Director Li, have you offended someone you shouldn't have? Think about it carefully, I can't say any more to you."
"In short, when to restore power to your food processing plant is not something I can decide. That's all I can say to you!"
The director spoke very softly, as if afraid of being overheard.
At least the matter was made clear to Li Junsheng. The director's meaning was also very clear: he was just a small fry in this whole mess, and Li Junsheng should leave quickly. There was no need to make things difficult for him here.
