A potential crisis was averted with just a few words and a wave of Zheng Ya's hand.
Sun Ke was also helped away by the little follower he had left behind.
Sun Ke drank heavily to harm his health in order to maintain the factory's reputation for ensuring its workers were well-fed and well-nourished.
Zheng Ya became known among the workers as someone who disregarded factory rules and regulations and had no respect for leadership, and was constantly ostracized by them.
Looking around, all I see are piles of disdainful eyes?
Zheng Ya decisively left, realizing that this was Sun Ke's backup plan, the third option: suppressing public opinion.
As he left, the workers shouted and mocked him as he walked away, but Zheng Ya ignored them completely, thwarting their scheme. The workers then dispersed.
Only then did the storm finally subside.
After this incident, Zheng Ya walked to his section chief's desk and sat down. While registering the purchased materials, he pondered whether someone in the factory wanted to harm him.
Openly making things difficult for people?
Unlike dealing with workers who violate rules, which is just a formality and can be carried out with written and verbal punishments?
It's not like I've committed a major mistake that requires me to apologize in front of all the workers in the factory.
Why put on this charade that makes things difficult for people?
The key point is that Zheng Ya gained a reward of 100 points of betrayal, which foreshadows the existence of an enemy.
The amount of faithlessness that enemy agents bring to Zheng Ya increases by 100 at a time.
For now, the courtyard has only four volunteers with a total of 100 members!
Yi Zhonghai, Granny Long, Jia Dongxu, and Jia Zhangshi are the four people.
Even though Zheng Ya repeatedly punished Sha Zhu, Sha Zhu only gave him about 80 points of deceit.
Qin Huairu, on the other hand, contributed even more, maintaining a score above ninety.
But it didn't reach 100.
These data illustrate a friend-or-foe problem.
The fact that the person's loyalty score is less than 100 suggests that there is still a possibility that this person, who hates Zheng Ya, might change their mind.
This made Zheng Ya very concerned about the hidden enemies in the factory.
Unfortunately, the enemy was hiding in the crowd. Since Zheng Ya's ability space could only know the direction of the data source, he had not been able to find the enemy for the time being, which made things a bit difficult.
At this moment, Sun Ke knocked on the door and entered Director Li's office. Director Li hurriedly welcomed him in and offered him a seat, taking out specially supplied cigarettes: "Brother, I'm sorry you had to go through all this trouble for my sake?"
"It's all what I should do, but unfortunately my abilities are limited and I couldn't help you with the task. Please don't blame me, I'm ashamed!" Sun Ke accepted the hospitality of being offered a cigarette and lit, and apologized with a faint smile.
But inside, it was a completely different story. Damn Li Deren, he's trying to kill me!
They actually want me to provoke a martial arts master and go to my death?
I'll get my revenge on you, you old bastard...
Li Deren turned around and poured him tea: "Young brother, you're too kind. It was my fault. Before I had figured out Zheng Ya's background, I almost let you get into trouble with him. I'm the one who should apologize."
In fact, the moment the incident occurred, Li Deren was hiding by the office window, peeking out and witnessing Zheng Ya effortlessly and comfortably resolve Sun Ke's predicament.
This includes Sun Ke throwing a large yellow croaker at Zheng Ya, thus carrying out a plan to frame him.
They thought they could easily take down Zheng Ya, confirm his crimes of embezzlement, bribery, and hoarding gold, and even if they didn't fire him from the factory, they could get Director Yang to transfer him to another department.
Unfortunately, Zheng Ya wiped out the large yellow croaker with a wave of his hand.
At that moment, Li Deren was terrified. Had he encountered a master?
What would such an expert do in the logistics department?
Could it really be that Director Yang and others sent this place to investigate the evidence of my crimes?
Wasn't Zheng Ya supposed to be Zheng Daotong's son, a bookworm, a mere sophomore in college?
Judging from the abilities that this so-called Zheng Ya has shown—calm, composed, witty, and never showing his emotions—he seems to be using the skills of a martial arts master to shift evidence. Could it be that Director Yang hired someone to impersonate Zheng Ya and harm his own people?
After Li Deren proved Zheng Ya's identity theft, Sun Ke came to confront him, leaving him in a state of utter confusion.
Sun Ke sat back on the sofa, crossed his legs and smoked. Watching him make tea for him, he smiled and said, "Brother, I accept your apology."
"I just want to ask you, elder brother, what should we do with Zheng Ya?"
“Little brother, just say the word and I’ll do as you say. No matter what, we can’t let Zheng Ya’s existence ruin our brotherhood. Little brother, please speak up!” Li Deren realized that this little brother had mistakenly thought he was framing him!
If this matter isn't resolved, it could trigger a power struggle between the officials who are backing them, and that would escalate into a major conflict.
Damn it, instead of throwing away the hot potato, it's gotten even hotter!
Seeing the seriousness in his voice, Sun Ke believed him to some extent, and his smile became more sincere. He sat up straight, held the special-supply cigarette above the ashtray on the coffee table, and flicked the cigarette, saying, "Since you've put it that way, brother, I'll be a spectator and watch Zheng Ya make a fool of himself, shall I?"
"Young man, you're so loyal!"
"I'll definitely do as you say, little brother, just you wait and see!" Li Deren said politely, but his heart was pounding.
This is utter nonsense! Watching this joke is clearly the biggest punishment of all!
The greatest revenge would be to not set out any specific measures or scope for retaliation against Zheng Ya.
The retaliation was too mild and lacked sincerity, making it seem as if Li Deren and Zheng Ya were acting in concert to frame Sun Ke.
But if the retaliation is severe and intense, there's no limit to how far it can go!
What a sly fox! Li Deren was almost driven mad by his counterattack and began to suspect the person who had tipped him off.
Damn it, slip a note onto my desk with three major pieces of information proving that Zheng Ya was planted in logistics by Director Yang's faction to oust and remove him, Director Li Deren, from his position, and to get rid of him as well.
One piece of information is that Zheng Daotong and his mother were framed and killed. As the family of twelve martyrs, their descendants received support from relevant departments. Under the premise that Zheng Daotong was the head of the security department of the steel rolling mill and the head of the major crime unit of the police station, in order to ensure Zheng Ya's safety, Zheng Ya was specially allowed to start from the factory's logistics department to lay the foundation for promotion.
Secondly, the case of Zheng Daotong and his mother's murder is under investigation, and the steel rolling mill is the best entry point for solving the case.
The higher authorities have ordered a thorough investigation, with all those involved to be severely punished without exception.
Some people in the factory's logistics department were closely involved in the death of the victim in the case.
Thirdly, the case involves top secrets of a classified unit. Wu Wei comes from a classified unit and works in the security department. She coordinated with Zheng Ya to enter the factory's logistics department to jointly handle the case.
When state secrets are involved, it is better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free.
Be careful, your life might be in danger!
These three pieces of information almost scared Li Deren to death.
This forced Li Deren to drag Sun Ke into the mess, and he plotted to drive Zheng Ya out of the factory first, let Zheng Ya die outside, and then nothing would happen.
After all, Zheng Ya couldn't die in the factory, otherwise Li Deren would be in trouble.
Sun Ke, unaware of the inside story and unwilling to guess Li Deren's identity or grudge against Zheng Ya, took a deep drag on his cigarette, exhaled a string of smoke rings, and said to Li Deren, "Brother, you're so righteous! I'll be waiting to see the show!"
