Zheng Ya drove to the steel rolling mill, and was met with hostility as soon as he entered the gate. His heartlessness was worth 100 points.
The source of the hostility was Hu Laiwang.
Hu Laiwang, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, leaned against the gatehouse wall, staring with dead fish eyes as Zheng Ya drove into the factory. He was seething with hatred. Why wasn't that damned Zheng Ya dead yet?
What kind of person is a skinny person with shifty eyes and a cunning look?
Zheng Ya drove straight into the factory area, ignoring Hu Laiwang, wondering if killing him would bring any benefits to Zhengde.
People like Jia Zhangshi, Jia Dongxu, Yi Zhonghai, and Old Lady Long were hostile to him and wished him dead.
But heaven knows, killing these four people would not bring Zhengde much income.
Because these four people did not cause much harm to society, killing them would not make up for much of the losses to the country and the people, and the merit they contributed would be pitifully small, so Zheng Ya did not intend to kill them.
The same applies to Hu Laiwang.
Without knowing that Hu Laiwang was a major threat and had become an enemy agent, killing him would be pointless.
On the contrary, keeping Hu Laiwang around to lure enemy agents is the right thing to do.
Lost in thought, Zheng Ya arrived at the logistics department, parked the car, took out a wild boar from the trunk, and carried it into the department's gate.
Almost all the staff from the logistics department have arrived.
More than thirty people rushed around and saw him lifting the wild boar by all four legs with one hand, exclaiming in amazement: "Wow, Section Chief Zheng, you're so strong!"
"Is 200 jin considered strong?"
"Isn't this something anyone can do?" Zheng Ya greeted him with a smile, while the purchasing agent, Xiao Liu, said irritably, "Section Chief Zheng, you're really good at bragging."
Lifting a 200-pound wild boar with one hand doesn't mean you're strong; are you implying we're not manly?
"Ha, you said it yourself, it's none of my business!" Zheng Ya laughed and put the wild boar on the scale, waving his hand to Li Li, who was in charge of weighing and recording, to register it.
Li Li, the cousin of Li Deren, the head of the logistics department, disapproved of Zheng Ya's overstating of the weight: "Section Chief Zheng purchased a large wild boar, weighing 191.2 jin..."
"Wait, did you lose your shoe?" Zheng Ya kindly reminded him. Playing with wooden strips on your toes, using leverage to lift the scale pan and reduce its weight—how shady!
The key is that the logistics department procures a wide variety of supplies, including all kinds of materials.
The wooden strips and bamboo pieces were accessories on the baskets and wooden boxes used by purchasing agents to hold supplies, so it was normal for a few pieces to be damaged or fall off.
In this situation, you cannot say that Li Li intentionally stepped on the wooden strips and lifted the scale to reduce the weight of the wild boar.
In fact, these are all well-known procedures, blatant bullying.
Anyone who dares to criticize or expose someone's shortcomings will be targeted and suppressed by certain individuals.
They will only stop once they have pushed people away or tamed them into their own ranks.
As for reporting, sorry, the entire logistics department is not a monolithic entity, and most people are doing this job to support their families. They would not openly target Li Deren's faction, testify for the victims, and lose their jobs.
Zheng Ya had only been at the job for a few days, but he had already sensed their tricks. He didn't expect to be targeted by them so quickly. What an honor!
Li Li was stunned and her expression changed. She immediately denied it: "Section Chief Zheng, which eye of yours saw my shoe fall off..."
"Your shoe didn't fall off, but you stepped on the wooden strip to lift the scale and reduce the weight of the wild boar. Did the shoe upper grow on your face?" Zheng Ya didn't want to argue with her; losing a few pounds of meat wasn't a big deal.
There are plenty of wild boars; hunting several wild boars on a single trip into the mountains is no problem at all.
The problem is that we cannot allow ourselves to be exploited and develop a habit of doing so.
Whether Zheng Ya creates a well-managed logistics system, he will definitely gain a lot of Zhengde points, or he will fight back against Li Deren's faction head-on, gaining a lot of Fuxin points.
This is a win-win situation, and Zheng Ya has no reason to refuse.
Having been publicly humiliated, Li Li said sternly, "Section Chief Zheng, you have to be responsible for your words. These wooden strips were all purchased by the purchasing agent..."
"Weigh it again, can't you understand human language?" Zheng Ya wasn't going to tolerate her; if she wanted to make a scene, she should make it bigger.
The bigger the commotion, the greater the gain in terms of negative sentiment points.
It might even generate some revenue from Zhengde points, so why not?
Li Li retorted, "Section Chief Zheng, everyone in the logistics department is lining up to be weighed. Isn't it inappropriate for you to be making trouble like this?"
Are you brain-dead?
You don't cherish the opportunity I give you? Are you trying to get the factory secretary to come over and weigh me, this wild boar, so you'll lose your job?
"Come on, shall you continue?" Zheng Ya hadn't forgotten the mess that Li Deren had made of framing him.
You have to understand that it was a virus source obtained by enemy agents, which poisoned everyone in the factory. If the charges were to be substantiated, the perpetrators would be executed.
This shows that Li Deren was ruthless.
Regardless of whether Li Deren was an outsider recruited by the enemy, Zheng Ya was determined not to let someone like Li Deren, who framed others and eliminated dissidents, get away with it.
Unfortunately, after being recommended, Li Deren claimed to be ill and stayed home, not coming to work. Otherwise, Zheng Ya would have already taken action against Li Deren.
Li Li wanted to argue and try to suppress Zheng Ya to vent her anger for her cousin, but she saw Li Deren's men shaking their heads at her. She gritted her teeth angrily and said, "Fine, I'll weigh you again..."
"Hmm, how much does the wild boar weigh? Tell us the number so everyone can hear it," Zheng Ya said, displeased as she watched as the woman weighed the wild boar again without mentioning the weight and instead buried herself in recording it.
They targeted someone only to be exposed, and they refuse to admit their mistake?
How could they possibly pretend nothing happened and get away with it?
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Li Li, her face flushed, argued, "Section Chief Zheng, don't go too far. I just accidentally stepped on a wooden strip, causing the wild boar to be weighed incorrectly. You're a man, why are you arguing with a woman like me?"
"You've already confessed without being asked. Don't you know that revealing the weight of the wild boar is the only way you can admit your mistake?"
"Let your colleagues here tell me, is it you who are abusing your power and being arrogant, or am I putting pressure on you and being unreasonable?" Zheng Ya felt that she was stupid and couldn't keep up with Li Deren's shrewdness and social skills.
It is said that Li Deren had a very good attitude in admitting his mistakes at the police station. He kept saying that he had made a mistake at work, that he had been used to frame Comrade Zheng Ya, and that he had been arrested along with his entire gang. He said that he had seriously neglected his duties and that he would definitely make amends and not let bad elements take advantage of him.
Is it possible for Li Li to try to cover up her shameful deeds even though she knows they've been exposed?
Seeing that things had escalated beyond control, Li Li angrily said, "Section Chief Zheng, purchase one large wild boar, weighing 209.7 jin..."
"Tsk tsk tsk, you almost stepped on eighteen pounds of pork and put it in your own pocket. You really are Li Deren's good cousin." Zheng Ya said this and walked out.
Let the factory leaders handle and let things develop from here!
Li Li was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but she couldn't do anything about it. The entire logistics department was eerily quiet, as if shrouded in a shadow.
As Zheng Ya walked out of the logistics department, she ran into Xu Damao, who was riding his bicycle to work. Zheng Ya chuckled, "Damao, do you want a child...?"
"Zheng Ya, you bastard, you can't talk like that..." Xu Damao, as if he'd been stepped on, jumped up and down, pushing his bicycle and arguing, glancing around as if afraid that outsiders would hear about his eunuch status and be terrified...
