What was originally a learning meeting turned into a criticism session against Zhou Fenglin by Huang Xian.
Currently, of the factory's seven leaders, Yang Zhenhua has complete influence over a deputy factory director, Huang Xian is close to the chief engineer Yu Tiancheng, Li Xuewu can also influence a leader, and Qiao Erbao is waiting to retire. None of the three main leaders has absolute control. However, previously, Yang Zhenhua and Li Xuewu often joined forces to suppress Huang Xian.
Today, Qiao Erbao, the usually taciturn and troublesome fellow, suddenly spoke up in support of Huang Xian, which greatly surprised Yang Zhenhua. But surprise as it may be, as long as Li Xuewu firmly supports him, along with the other two factory leaders, he still holds the advantage.
"Director Yang, you go first. This office is under your jurisdiction, so you have the most say."
To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, Yang Zhenhua deliberately interrupted the meeting, intending to control the situation through Li Xuewu's speech. His meaning was clear: the office is your department, and if problems arise, you, as the supervisor, bear leadership responsibility.
Li Xuewu was clearly aware of this as well. Furthermore, he disliked Xu Damao's reckless approach, using Huang Xian to achieve his goals. In truth, if Xu Damao simply approached him and explained the situation, wouldn't Li Xuewu readily grant him that request?
Li Xuewu had barely uttered "I" when Huang Xian interrupted him.
"Director Li, excuse me for interrupting. I think the current office director, Zhou Fenglin, is really not suitable to continue in his position. We should reassign him. Also, office work is very important, and I suggest that the deputy office director, Zhu Yuanyuan, take charge of the work," Huang Xian interjected.
Huang Xian's words were very blunt, and everyone present stared wide-eyed at Li Xuewu. Deputy Director Zhu Yuanyuan was the lowest-ranking deputy director in the office; theoretically, she shouldn't be in charge of the work or be promoted to director.
But who is Zhu Yuanyuan? She was specially promoted by our factory director Li Xuewu after he came to the main factory. He promoted her from a primary school principal to the head of the education section of the logistics department, and then all the way to her current position as deputy director.
Just look at her outstanding looks and graceful figure, and you'll understand why Comrade Li promoted her. You could say she was his true confidante, the kind that's practically one to him.
This woman was younger and more educated than Gao Yan, and she was also very eloquent, so she quickly replaced Gao Yan in Li Xuewu's heart.
"Director Huang, this is a bit against organizational principles. The current office director is Zhou Fenglin, and the organization has not taken any action against him, yet you are proposing someone else. This is not right."
Alright, Lao Huang, Comrade Zhu Yuanyuan is very outstanding and will definitely have a bright future, but now we're discussing Zhou Fenglin's issue.
Upon hearing Zhu Yuanyuan's name, Yang Zhenhua sensed trouble and quickly interrupted Huang Xian. His comments about Zhu Yuanyuan, ostensibly addressed to Huang Xian, were actually meant for Li Xuewu. The message was clear: you're very capable; don't worry, you'll be promoted later.
Clearly, Li Xuewu had heard what the top two leaders said and was struggling internally. If Huang Xian hadn't mentioned Zhu Yuanyuan's matter today, things would have been fine, but now that it had, if he didn't deal with it, whether he could even sleep with her in the future would be a problem.
Most importantly, the office is the department under his jurisdiction, but Zhou Fenglin is not really one of his people, so he is not always easy to use.
"Let me say something. I listened carefully to what the leaders said just now, and what they said made a lot of sense. But I think everyone needs to see the current situation clearly. The whole country is now paying great attention to cracking down on bureaucracy, and yet there are still people defying the trend. We must not cover them up."
I agree with Director Huang's opinion that Comrade Zhou Fenglin should be dealt with and immediately dismissed from his post.
Having made up his mind, Li Xuewu immediately voiced his opinion. This statement essentially indicated that his honeymoon period with Yang Zhenhua was coming to an end, and that he would have to fight alongside Huang Xian from now on.
His swift decision was clearly not the result of a single event, but rather the result of long-term consideration. Yang Zhenhua had been in the top position at the steel rolling mill for too long and had become too comfortable; without a better position available, Comrade Yang was simply unwilling to leave.
But if Lao Yang doesn't leave, what will happen to Huang Xian and Li Xuewu? Will they both retire as deputy factory directors?
In addition, recently, the senior leaders behind Yang Zhenhua and Li Xuewu have diverged in their political views, which will inevitably affect their relationship.
Rather than waiting for things to change passively later, it's better to take the initiative now while Hwang Hyun is showing goodwill and seize control of the office.
Once Li Xuewu changed his attitude, the situation was already settled, and Yang Zhenhua didn't try to struggle any further. He could afford to sacrifice himself as an office director, but this marked the beginning of a change in the steel rolling mill's situation, and he needed to prepare early.
The meeting quickly and unanimously approved the decision to suspend Zhou Fenglin from his duties, with Zhu Yuanyuan taking over the office work. As soon as the meeting ended, Yang Zhenhua was the first to leave the meeting room.
"Old Huang, why did you drag me into this? Look, even Old Yang has a problem with me," Li Xuewu said to Huang Xian with a smile.
"That's not how it works. You should be thanking me for this. I remember Xu Damao has always been with you, and he was transferred from the No. 1 factory. Now I'm helping you get revenge."
Besides, Director Zhu will definitely thank you tonight.
Among older men, they understand each other perfectly; everyone calls each other the eldest brother and doesn't refer to themselves as the second eldest.
"We'll be relying on you, Director Huang, for many things in the future. How about I treat you to drinks tonight?" Li Xuewu said.
"Alright, let's have it in the cafeteria's special kitchen. I heard you've stocked up on a lot of good stuff, I'd like to try it out."
"Haha, you know I love that kind of food. I'll make arrangements to have Sha Zhu cook for me tonight."
There are no permanent enemies. Two rivals who were fighting fiercely before are now about to have a drink together.
·············
News of Xu Damao cleaning the office spread quickly, and the effect was quite noticeable. At least, the personnel department sent two employees to the Armed Forces Department's General Office on the third day, saying they would be assigned there.
Actually, the personnel department took remedial measures after seeing what happened in the office, and the candidate was directly transferred from other departments.
"Minister, we didn't have enough people before, and we couldn't handle the work. Now, not only have our own people come back, but the personnel department has also sent two more. We have too many people now, and we don't have enough offices."
Lei Min went to Xu Damao to complain, feeling both pain and pleasure. Their Armed Forces Department's General Affairs Section only had one large office, and with two people arriving at once, they had to find a new room. But the rooms next door were occupied by other departments.
