After Shen Jie's guidance, Xing Baohua suddenly understood. He realized that his cleverness had backfired, leading him into a trap and causing him a lot of trouble.
Heavy industrial cities all have supporting factories. Not only do they have electronics factories and radio factories, but they are also divided into factories such as Factory No. 1 and Factory No. 2.
Xing Baohua's mistake was that he wanted to find a professional manufacturer for his learning machine, and he also had an acquaintance named Zhang Xuebao who could make a recommendation.
He did make the introduction, but inadvertently attracted the wolf. Xing Baohua reflected on this, admitting that he had been somewhat presumptuous.
This time, I visited the provincial computer company, which is located in the research and office complex. I didn't see the actual factory or supporting facilities.
In other words, if Xing Baohua had outsourced the production of the learning machines to the provincial computer company, they would likely have subcontracted it to a smaller electronics factory. Xing Baohua simply hadn't found the actual manufacturing plant.
Xing Baohua decided to visit several electronics factories in the city tomorrow to investigate before making a decision.
Shen Jie ultimately accepted the cigarettes and alcohol, explaining, in Xing Baohua's words, that it was a younger generation's way of showing respect to their elders. Shen Jie couldn't really give a reason for this.
At the guesthouse, Director Wang asked a waiter to make a long-distance call so he could report his encounter with Xing Baohua to his superiors.
Of course, there's also Xing Baohua's attitude, and the discovery that Xing Baohua had violated discipline.
The superior instructed that we should first understand the situation and report back only after confirming its accuracy.
In other words, Director Wang is now starting a detailed investigation into Xing Baohua. This kind of thing is one of Director Wang's specialties.
Those who can become office directors are not simple people. In addition to being shrewd and adept at interpersonal relationships and gathering information, they also have a wide network of connections.
Director Wang planned to first obtain some publicly available files about Xing Baohua from the machinery factory. Then, he would go among the people to learn more about Xing Baohua indirectly.
Who would believe there's nothing going on with such a young workshop director?
As long as we find something to hold against Xing Baohua, we won't be afraid that he will commit a crime.
Director Wang knew that Zhang Xuebao and Xing Baohua were friends, and fearing that some information might be leaked, he could only let Zhang Xuebao return to the company first.
The next day, after Zhang Xuebao left, Director Wang took action. This man was indeed quite capable; he had gone through several layers of connections to finally get in touch with a friend in the Municipal Archives Bureau.
This friend from the Archives Bureau is also very sociable. Unfortunately, it's a relatively easy job there. The only way to escape this misery is to make more friends.
This favor from Director Wang is very simple. Just write a note and let Director Wang check it. He can even make a copy of the document if he wants.
Director Wang was taking action, and so was Xing Baohua. Using a letter of introduction from the factory and his position as the director of the fifth workshop, he visited several electronics factories. There were three electronics factories in total in Luzhong City. They were all small-scale and not very well-known.
Factory No. 1 in the city mainly produces power electronic components such as current sensors and voltage sensors.
The Second Electronics Factory produced electronic components such as resistors, capacitors, diodes, and transistors.
The third factory specialized in producing electronic products to support oil refineries.
After visiting all three factories, I realized they were completely mismatched with my needs! None of them could process electronic integrated circuit boards as a whole.
Did Shen Jie misunderstand, or was he not clear at the time? He clearly gave guidance, so why didn't the investigation reveal that they could produce circuit boards?
I thought I should go ask him again, but then I decided to hold off for now, to avoid being mocked by him again. Perhaps there are still electronics factories I haven't found yet.
Director Wang arrived at the machinery factory and first went to the office. Director Xue wasn't there; Director Liu received him.
"You want to access Xing Baohua's file?" Director Liu looked at the other party with a questioning gaze as he looked at the note issued by the Files Bureau.
If Director Liu remembers correctly, he should have seen this man yesterday. He was with Engineer Zhang from the provincial computer company. He also came to the factory to look for Xing Baohua and ended up waiting for someone at the factory gate.
It's a bit strange that they brought a note from the Archives Bureau today wanting to see Xing Baohua's file.
"Comrade, which unit are you from? Do you have a work ID? I need to see it," Director Liu asked cautiously. He was now somewhat suspicious of the other party's identity.
"I am the director of the General Office of the Provincial Computer Company. This time, I was ordered by my superiors to assist in the transfer of Comrade Xing Baohua to the Provincial Computer Company. I checked his file to report to my superiors, and I had no choice but to ask the staff of the Archives Bureau to write a letter for me."
Director Wang noticed Director Liu's suspicion and realized it would be difficult to get away with it, especially when the other party asked to see his work ID. Director Wang knew he couldn't be fooled, so he had no choice but to tell the truth.
This also has an advantage: he is indeed acting in accordance with the leader's intentions, and when the other party needs verification, the company will provide him with confirmation.
"When did Xing Baohua get transferred to your company? How come I didn't know?" Director Liu asked in surprise.
This all happened so suddenly, without any warning. Besides, Xing Baohua was doing so well here, why would he want to go to the provincial capital? Something's fishy about this. Director Liu immediately thought of some problems and knew he had to report to his superiors right away.
As Director Wang showed his work ID to Director Liu, he said, "Our company leaders are quite interested in his research and are planning to transfer him to take on important research and development tasks."
Looking at the man's work ID, Director Liu frowned again. Finally, without showing any emotion, he said to the man, "Okay, I'll take you to see his file first. If you need anything, just come find me later."
He led Director Wang to the records room, where only Hu Jiangyan was present. He said, "Xiao Hu, find Xing Baohua's file and show it to this comrade."
Then he said to Director Wang, "I'm sorry, I have some things to take care of. Please stay here for now."
