Reeking of alcohol, Section Chief Sun from the logistics department blocked Zheng Ya's way into the logistics office building's stairwell and confronted him in public.
Workers coming in and out of the building stopped to watch, eager to see Zheng Ya make a fool of himself.
Each of them had a happy smile on their face.
In Zheng Ya's eyes, it looked like the mottled walls inside and outside the corridor, covered in marks and unsightly stains.
Then look at this Section Chief Sun, a skinny monkey reeking of alcohol. Even though he is dressed in a well-fitting Zhongshan suit and looks formal and dignified, he is utterly ruined by his bad habit of drinking heavily in the morning and his aggressive remarks.
Is this a sign of difficulty in quitting drinking?
Zheng Ya smiled faintly and said, "Section Chief Sun, right?"
Since you've already said that I violated the factory's rules, then punish me according to the factory's rules, okay?
I will accept the punishment from the factory leaders.
Are you representing the factory leadership to publicly punish me?
"Zheng Ya, Section Chief Zheng, what's your attitude?"
What factory leader? Aren't I, the head of the logistics department, a factory leader?
Isn't he your direct supervisor?
"You think I, Sun Ke, wouldn't dare punish you for your roundabout resistance against me, the section chief?" Sun Ke angrily pointed at Zheng Ya's nose and lashed out, scaring away the workers who were watching.
Each one of them was afraid of being caught in the crossfire.
Perhaps Zheng Ya was the only one at the scene who didn't know Sun Ke's background?
Sun Ke was a person with connections. He came to work at the steel rolling mill to gain experience and seniority, and then transfer to a corporate unit as a manager.
Even becoming a factory manager?
Whether the rumors are true or not is irrelevant.
The key issue is that the steel mill's leadership tolerated Sun Ke to an extreme degree, allowing him to run rampant.
It seems they treat Sun Ke as a mere adjutant who only needs to show up at the factory every day.
At first, some people made things difficult for Sun Ke, reporting, suppressing, and excluding her, but Sun Ke was fine; it was the people who made things difficult for her who got into trouble.
From then on, no one dared to mess with Sun Ke anymore.
On the contrary, many people began to curry favor with Sun Ke in order to gain his favor and promotion.
At this moment, Sun Ke is making things difficult for Zheng Ya for some reason, and is doing it in public.
This is the first time I've seen something like this.
The timid and cowardly worker turned tail and ran.
It's none of my business, so I'll stay out of it and avoid getting implicated by Zheng Ya, losing my job, or being punished—that would be a huge loss.
Zheng Ya smiled without getting angry or annoyed: "Section Chief Sun, you have quite the imposing presence of a leader."
You scared me to death!
"So, sir/madam, how do you intend to punish me?"
"You bastard, are you trying to turn the world upside down?"
"You don't even have the attitude of acknowledging your mistakes. Is this how your father, Zheng Daotong, calls you?" Sun Ke withdrew his hand and smirked, urging Zheng Ya to make the first move, saying that everything would be easier to discuss then.
Actually, Sun Ke's intention in making things difficult for Zheng Ya was not his own.
This is all his own fault. He drank too much and got into Director Li's trap after having a few drinks with him. He couldn't get out now.
Director Li's background is not much weaker than his.
They were like kindred spirits, so it was natural for them to come together, build relationships, drink together, become friends, and pave the way for each other.
As long as it doesn't jeopardize your own interests and future, there's no harm in making friends with leaders; you never know when you might need their help.
Last night, Director Li treated Section Chief Sun to drinks and mentioned that Zheng Ya disregarded leadership and factory regulations. He was absent from the factory for a whole day when he went out to purchase supplies, and he didn't ask anyone for leave. He said that such a person is undisciplined and that keeping him in the logistics department would affect the entire factory's production.
His words were a veiled hint to Sun Ke to get rid of Zheng Ya.
How could Sun Ke not understand what Director Li meant?
Director Li was an official who intended to stay at the steel rolling mill to continue its development. He was at odds with Director Yang and Secretary Hu, so naturally, he wanted to target the people they had placed in the logistics department.
Because Director Li was afraid that they would plant someone to ruin his plans, find evidence of his crimes, and take the opportunity to remove him, he devised a plan to use someone else to do his dirty work for Sun Ke.
Sun Ke will be transferred to another unit sooner or later, so any trouble he causes while dealing with Zheng Ya won't have a significant impact.
Unlike Director Li, who wanted to stay rooted in the steel rolling mill, causing trouble that would be difficult to resolve!
Sun Ke was fully aware of this, and after Director Li secretly slipped him three large yellow croakers, he gladly accepted the task of making things difficult for Zheng Ya.
At this moment, Zheng Ya was provoked by Sun Ke's insults towards his predecessor's father, but he did not explode. He maintained his smile and calmly said, "Haha, your family education has really opened my eyes."
Could it be some kind of genetic education method used by foreign powers?
"Who are you calling a bastard?" Sun Ke roared furiously, suppressing his anger and not rushing forward to beat the person.
Sun Ke was not without his own qualities as an official; his only intention was to provoke Zheng Ya into beating him, which would give him an excuse to take down Zheng Ya and fulfill Director Li's promise.
From the moment Zheng Ya came to make things difficult for him, he had been receiving unfaithful points from Sun Ke. Seeing through Sun Ke's clownish tricks, he retorted with a laugh: "You said yourself that you are a bastard, but no one forced you to admit it."
So it turns out that…
"You son of a bitch, go to hell..." Sun Ke couldn't hold back any longer, angrily raising her hand and throwing a large yellow croaker at Zheng Ya: "Whoosh!"
Anger is anger, even murderous intent—it's all human nature, after all!
However, Sun Ke did not lose his mind. He directly chose to throw out the large yellow croaker to frame Zheng Ya and catch him in the act.
This is the second plan that Sun Ke prepared for Zheng Ya.
Zheng Ya laughed, raised his hand and waved it to put the large yellow croaker that had attacked his chest into his special ability space, and said with a smile: "Section Chief Sun, are you drunk?"
"Comrades in our logistics department, Section Chief Sun is drunk. Two of you, please lend a hand and help him sober up."
He shouted out in a loud voice, just to make Section Chief Sun famous.
Whether or not Section Chief Sun will be punished for drinking at work violates factory rules is not important.
The important thing is that if this gets out, it will damage Section Chief Sun's reputation.
Sun Ke disregarded his image and factory rules and regulations, causing trouble in the logistics department office. These were all internal issues, and anyone who dared to show their teeth would be in trouble.
If you create a bad reputation but have no evidence, the impact will be minimal.
However, if Zheng Ya were to publicize and expose this to all the factory workers, it would have a significant impact on Sun Ke's transfer to another unit.
So, Sun Ke was startled and pretended to be drunk and collapsed. He was both surprised and scared. Oh my god, he had offended a master!
With a wave of his hand, he can wipe out a large yellow croaker; who dares to mess with him?
If I annoy someone and they wave me away, will I end up dead?
The two sycophants, "Shasha," rushed over to help Section Chief Sun: "Oh dear, Section Chief, you've had too much to drink with clients again!"
If everyone in our factory were as selfless as Section Chief Sun, risking his life to drink with others to ensure the workers have enough food and meat, Section Chief Sun, wouldn't that be incredibly noble?"
"Yes, yes, Section Chief Sun is the role model for our entire logistics department, leading us workers to risk our lives to serve the hunger problem of all the factory workers..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Section Chief Sun is doing all this so as not to delay the factory's production targets, to ensure that the workers are well-fed and can work better to complete the factory's tasks..."
Once someone took the lead, four or five sycophants followed suit to cover for Sun Ke and say good things to prevent the workers from spreading bad rumors about him.
