Section Chief Zhou praised Li Junsheng a few times, saying he was just being modest, but it seemed he was trying to exaggerate Li Junsheng's virtues.
Li Junsheng laughed and denied it, not buying into Section Chief Zhou's act!
This week, the section chief thought he could get the information about the university's enrollment quota by praising himself to the point of being out of control.
Li Junsheng wasn't going to fall for it!
Leaving aside the nervous and guilty Section Chief Zhou, Li Junsheng told Qin Yong to go to the warehouse to get the goods.
Their trip wasn't a complete waste; at least they got some work to do!
Qin Yong was very happy.
Li Junsheng was busy moving scrap materials in the factory, while Chen Dazhu was kicking the wall in anger at the entrance of the machinery factory!
I never imagined that things would go wrong at the very last step of signing the contract. What's the difference between this and a duck that was about to be eaten suddenly flying away?
Ma Weidong was furious and extremely frustrated!
It wasn't a particularly big deal, so why were there so many obstacles at every step? He even poured a lot of money into it, which made Ma Weidong extremely upset.
Retreating is not an option, but taking another step forward is fraught with difficulties!
"Didn't you say that Section Chief Zhou was willing to sign the contract? Why is it like this today?"
Ma Weidong turned to ask Chen Dazhu, but Chen Dazhu didn't know either!
"Section Chief Zhou told me that he would draft the contract as soon as he got back, and that he would sign it as soon as he came over today. I don't understand why he broke his promise."
Chen Dazhu clenched his fists, hating Section Chief Zhou, that glib and untrustworthy fellow, to the core!
His denial of previously mentioning a contract made Chen Dazhu feel like he was being played, and that the other party didn't want to pay him or take responsibility.
What about the money I spent treating Section Chief Zhou to meals and drinks? Was it all for nothing?
Ma Weidong also complained to Chen Dazhu, "What are we going to do now? I've already made an agreement with the owner of the recycling station. If I don't bring a batch of goods over today, I won't be able to explain it to him."
Chen Dazhu knew he couldn't explain things to the recycling station owner, and he was unwilling to see Li Junsheng so smug!
He learned from Section Chief Zhou that the machinery factory had tons of scrap, so why did they only approve Li Junsheng to haul the goods?
"At the scrap metal recycling station, just say that Section Chief Zhou broke his promise, and also mention that Li Junsheng intercepted the goods that should have been ours."
Frustrated, Ma Weidong said, "That's all we can do. If I had known that the machinery factory only recognized Li Junsheng to haul goods, I would have said a few nice words to him earlier and asked him to haul some for us too."
"Even if there are any problems with the goods, it will be his problem. You could say it's killing two birds with one stone."
Chen Dazhu smirked, convinced that Ma Weidong was a fence-sitter. He then said to him, "He almost strangled your sister. He just said something like, 'Who do you think you are?' He said such nasty things. Do you think he'd actually help you if you asked him?"
"If you ask me, let's just go all the way and ruin this shipment that Li Junsheng is going to haul. That way, he won't be able to do the job and he won't be so smug and look down on you."
Ma Weidong thought about it and agreed; Li Junsheng's words were indeed infuriating.
"Since he's not going to help us haul the goods anyway, let's do what you said and sabotage him so he can't do the job. Now what do we do?"
“Call the police and report Li Junsheng for profiteering with these trucks. Do you think he, a temporary worker helping with loading and unloading, can produce any proper permits?”
On the other hand, Chen Dazhu was planning that by reporting Li Junsheng, he could also expose the leaders behind Li Junsheng!
Knowing who Li Junsheng's superior is, wouldn't it be better to cause him trouble?
If I deliberately say a few bad things about Li Junsheng in front of his superiors, Li Junsheng might even get fired!
After listening to Chen Dazhu's suggestion, Ma Weidong also thought it was feasible.
"Then let's do it your way!"
The two split up; one went to call the police, while the other stood guard at the entrance of the machinery factory, keeping an eye on Li Junsheng.
A few hours later, Li Junsheng sat in the passenger seat of Qin Yong's truck, with a truck full of scrap behind him, heading to the agricultural machinery factory.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I stepped out of the machinery factory gate, I was stopped by three or four police officers.
"Stop the car! Someone reported you for speculation and profiteering. Get out and be questioned."
As Chen Dazhu and Ma Weidong had predicted, Li Junsheng was questioned; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to leave so easily today.
If things go wrong, I might get arrested and taken away for re-education!
Qin Yong was a little uneasy and immediately looked at Li Junsheng.
Li Junsheng smiled at him and reassured him, "Don't worry, it's just a routine check, there won't be any problems!"
With that, he opened the car door and got out!
Meanwhile, Ma Weidong and Chen Dazhu hid in the distance, waiting to see what would happen. Ma Weidong, in particular, was itching to get Li Junsheng arrested.
Chen Dazhu was also eagerly waiting for the person behind Li Junsheng to come out and bail him out. Whether or not it would work out depended on this step!
Li Junsheng certainly couldn't produce any compliant and legal documents to show the two police officers.
"Officer, what's going on? Who reported us for speculation and profiteering? We are all legitimate workers."
As soon as Li Junsheng got out of the car, he started to interfere with the police officers, but the officers acted strictly in a professional manner!
“We received a call from someone reporting that you were engaging in speculation and profiteering, and they asked you to show your relevant documents and accept our investigation.”
Li Junsheng nodded and took out all the documents of the legal department he set up in the agricultural machinery factory, the contract he signed with Section Chief Zhou, and the certificates he issued, for the police officers to check!
Even without the police officer saying it, Li Junsheng could guess who had reported him; it must have been Chen Dazhu and Ma Weidong, who were watching the commotion.
Want to create trouble for yourself like this? That's just wishful thinking.
The police officers checked the legal documents that Li Junsheng presented and returned them to him only after confirming that there were no problems.
"The contract documents are all in order. We've confirmed that you are a leader of a legitimate state-owned enterprise. Thank you for your cooperation. You can leave now. Sorry for the inconvenience!"
"Of course, the road here is narrow, you comrades go first, thank you for your hard work."
Li Junsheng politely saw the police officer off.
Chen Dazhu was completely dumbfounded to see that Li Junsheng had resolved the crisis of speculation and profiteering without the help of the powerful figures behind him!
How could this be? What exactly did Li Junsheng show the police officers?
The police officer actually turned around and left.
Ma Weidong stared wide-eyed, tugging at Chen Dazhu's clothes and asking, "Hey, why did they leave? Didn't you say they were going to cause Li Junsheng so much trouble?"
"How would I know what's going on? Why does Li Junsheng seem to be exuding such an evil aura these days?"
Chen Dazhu impatiently pried Ma Weidong's hand away. He had done all he could, but he really couldn't do anything about Li Junsheng, and he was at his wit's end.
Even if I come up with a plan myself, I still can't get rid of Li Junsheng, but I'm still better than that good-for-nothing Ma Weidong!
Aside from asking what to do and why, they can't do anything else.
