Chapter 217 Xu Damao's Change



Fu Qingyao pointed out the fundamental issues to Lou Xiao'e, which deeply moved Lou Xiao'e, who then took her leave.

Zheng Ya bid farewell to his family and went to the factory to report for duty. A day later, when he returned to the steel rolling mill, he sensed Hu Laiwang's strange greeting.

Hu Laiwang looked at Zheng Ya as if he were a plague god, muttering uncomfortably as he watched him drive into the factory gate: "That damned Zheng Ya, why doesn't he just die!"

Li Lishe died in the stairwell; it must have been Zheng Ya's doing. It's terrifying.

"Awang, what are you muttering about?" Hu Bing, the deputy head of the security department, scolded him with dissatisfaction. He was not proactive in standing guard and was number one in gambling and slacking off.

A down-on-his-luck rich kid comes here just to coast along for a paycheck and seniority; how despicable.

Hu Bing really wanted to fire him, but he couldn't stop the other party from using money to bribe his way out of trouble and keep him from losing his job, so he arranged for Hu Laiwang to stand guard during the day.

Hu Laiwang gambles in his car while on night duty, leaving Hu Bing with no choice but to keep an eye on him during his shifts.

Hu Laiwang shuddered and stood up straight, saying, "Reporting to the section chief, let me say this again: Comrade Zheng Ya purchased a large wild boar the day before yesterday, and today he must have purchased another batch of rare goods. We are in for a treat!"

I was thinking of lining up early for lunch to show my respect to the section chief…

"Hu Laiwang, stop with your nonsense and try to be clever. It would be better if you just put some effort into your work!" Hu Bing was used to Hu Laiwang's behavior of giving gifts and currying favors, and he was disgusted by it, but he couldn't stop people like Li Deren, who liked to flatter, from protecting Hu Laiwang.

Hu Laiwang quickly admitted his mistake: "Yes, I guarantee I will complete the mission!"

Section Chief, please don't be angry. I was just responding to the call from society to help my colleagues.

"That's enough, stop standing guard properly." Hu Bing was very angry, feeling that society was corrupted by people like him, who shamelessly clung to others.

Hu Laiwang kept quiet, secretly resenting Li for not knowing what was good for him. He waited for Director Li to come to work and report him, and then they would see who would get the better of whom first.

Zheng Ya sensed Hu Laiwang's suspicious behavior but still couldn't determine whether Hu Laiwang was an outsider recruited by the enemy. He decided to observe further before making a decision.

Carrying five wild rabbits, he walked into the logistics department and ran into Section Chief Yang, who was personally weighing and registering them. Seeing him in line, Yang said, "Comrade Zheng Ya, you're a very busy person, why don't you come up and have them weighed and registered?"

"Yes, yes, Section Chief Zheng, you are a role model for our logistics department. No need to queue, just go up and get weighed and registered, right?" The purchasing staff made way for him, praising Zheng Ya's achievements.

It is worth mentioning that the time for purchasing staff to submit purchased materials is not fixed.

Unless it involves issues such as extending procurement time in hot weather, affecting meat spoilage, or causing damage to supplies, procurement staff do not have a fixed time to hand over supplies when they go out to purchase them.

Especially during this famine, it was very difficult for purchasing agents to go to the countryside to buy grain and meat; sometimes they couldn't buy anything for many days.

Therefore, there are fixed quotas for procurement tasks, but the time for submitting the procured materials is not fixed. The procurement staff are only required to complete the procurement tasks each month.

As a result, many purchasing agents would go directly home after buying supplies in the countryside, and then hand over the purchased supplies to the government the next day.

Zheng Ya understood the procedure and stepped forward without any pretense, placing the five rabbits on the scale and saying, "Section Chief Yang, please weigh them."

"No trouble at all. It's all for work. I'm not like Li Li, who cheats and shirks her duties. If you encounter any problems in the future, you can come to me directly for help." Section Chief Yang deliberately reminded him not to cause trouble, but he left it at that.

If you say things too clearly, it's like discriminating against someone for being mentally challenged.

On the contrary, it makes me look like I'm too stupid.

Whether others can understand the hints depends entirely on their own fate.

In fact, Section Chief Yang wanted him to understand Li Li's fate and the impact it had caused, so that he wouldn't ruin his reputation for a small gain.

Although Li Li's death was ostensibly unrelated to Zheng Ya, the fact that someone in the factory was spreading rumors was a good thing.

They also said that Zheng Ya was a martial arts master who was good at secretly plotting against people.

Yi Zhonghai, Granny Long, Jia Dongxu, Liu Haizhong, Jia Zhangshi, and others from a certain courtyard can all testify to this.

Rumors were rampant, which drew the attention of the Women's Federation.

Some suggested arresting Zheng Ya, interrogating and convicting him, arguing that bullying women should not be tolerated, as it is the greatest insult to women.

Some people even insulted Zheng Ya, saying he wasn't a real man, only knew how to harm people in secret, and was a complete scoundrel.

In short, opinions about Zheng Ya in the factory were mixed, with both good and bad views.

This made Director Yang and Secretary Hu take it seriously. They called Section Chief Yang to warn Zheng Ya not to cause trouble in the factory.

Otherwise, if a serious scandal were to occur, the factory leaders would be unable to handle the situation and would have no choice but to call the police.

At that time, not only will the factory lose its dignity, but Zheng Ya's personal reputation will also be damaged, and he may very well lose his job.

As Zheng Ya drove into the factory, he noticed the unusual expressions on many people's faces and heard some gossip. He immediately smiled and said, "Section Chief Yang is very kind. I'll have to trouble you if anything comes up."

I hope you won't find it troublesome, Section Chief. Thank you in advance for your consideration!

"Haha, I'm not taking care of you. Every single logistics staff member here is a member of our logistics department, and they all enjoy my care."

Is this what it means to unite comrades and work together?

"Don't misunderstand, or people will get the wrong idea!" Section Chief Yang, with his silver tongue, made everyone in the room smile.

It's often said that officials are highly conscious and good at speaking and handling affairs.

Section Chief Yang is doing a live broadcast; he's got a knack for it.

Zheng Ya smiled and agreed, "What misunderstanding?"

"We're all revolutionary comrades, with different roles; shouldn't we learn from each other?"

"Haha, yes, you're right. We in the logistics department are a whole. We learn from each other, help each other with our work, and work together to make contributions. You're all great!" Section Chief Yang felt that he had understood his hint. After helping him weigh the wild rabbit and register it, he asked Zheng Ya to sign it.

Zheng Ya signed the document and then left with a smile.

As soon as Zheng Ya stepped out of the logistics department gate, he was greeted by Xu Damao: "Grandpa Zheng Ya, you're finally back?"

"Ahem, Comrade Xu Damao, speak properly. Are you going to take responsibility if you make me look old?" Zheng Ya almost slapped the logistics staff member when he saw the strange look in his eyes.

What kind of time is this to be trying to sow discord among people?

Isn't this just asking for trouble?

After regaining his composure, Xu Damao calmed his excitement and moved closer to Zheng Ya, saying, "I'll call you brother then."

Brother, you're finally back?

The day you left, I took Shazhu from the police station back to the courtyard house.

In addition, I collected seventy-five antiques in the countryside…

"Wait a minute, you went to the countryside to collect antiques, didn't you ask your father-in-law for investment?" Zheng Ya interrupted him with disdain. What good stuff could there be in the countryside?

What we care about are the good things Lou Bancheng has in his collection!

Why does Xu Damao seem to have become a better person?

That shouldn't be the case.

Xu Damao said with a wry smile, "Brother, my dear brother, you can't just watch your younger brother debase himself and beg for mercy, can you?"

"Your brother is a man, and he has his pride..."

"What, backbone? You?" Zheng Ya scoffed disdainfully. Are you talking nonsense?
