Chapter 146
When the two arrived, Chen Qian's office was in a state of chaos.
Deputy Director He's wife, Qiu Yanping, pointed at Liu Hanmin and said, "Can the factory ever resolve Liu Hanmin's issue? He's like a madman, hell-bent on getting rid of my He Hanmin. Yesterday, he even went to the family compound and tore down a banner with He Hanmin on it! Isn't that slander?"
"Sister-in-law, the factory has already fired him for dereliction of duty," Chen Qian said with an apologetic smile. "He's not an employee anymore, so we have no right to manage him!"
"Don't talk nonsense to me, Chen Qian," Qiu Yanping said with tears in her eyes. "When Old He was here, he treated you well, didn't he? When you wanted to promote me to deputy factory director, you brought some things to my house to ask Old He for your approval. Didn't he agree without hesitation? He didn't say he had no right to be in charge!"
Chen Qian couldn't laugh anymore. "Sister-in-law, look where you're going!"
He used to be the head of the production planning section. Before being promoted, he had communicated with every factory leader at that time, which was like paying homage to them.
Giving something to Lao He was just a formality; he didn't give him any expensive gifts.
Qiu Yanping complained, "On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, you were supposed to be on duty, but our Lao He lost his life while covering for you!"
"Sister-in-law, I can't accept that!" Chen Qian said sternly, "It was Director He who took the initiative to propose the shift change. Director Ding from the factory office can attest to that. It was he who helped change the duty roster."
Director Ding, who was standing at the door concentrating on eating melons, said: "..."
How did it get involved with him?
Facing the inquiring gazes, he truthfully described what happened that day. "It was indeed Director He who first brought it up. He said Director Chen was young and had a small child, and there was a lantern festival in the city, so he asked Director Chen to take the child to the park to see the lanterns."
Qiu Yanping immediately said, "Listen everyone, Lao He is such a soft-hearted person! Chen Qian, no matter what, Lao He's sacrifice had something to do with you, right? Now he's being smeared, and you're just going to stand by and watch?"
Chen Qian cursed in his heart and said helplessly: "Sister-in-law, the factory has already fired him, what can I do?"
"Don't his family members still work at the factory? If Liu Hanmin continues to slander Lao He, I strongly demand that the factory fire his family members as well!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Hanmin jumped up and cursed, "Two different people can sleep in the same bed. You and He Dali are really not good people!"
Seeing that he was about to swing his hand to hit someone, Qiu Yanping's youngest son immediately stepped forward to block him.
The two sides started fighting in this small office.
The doors of all the offices on the second floor were secretly opened, and some curious people even ran directly to the door of Chen Qian's office to watch what was going on.
Niu Enjiu didn't expect things to escalate. He rushed over when he heard the noise and ordered his secretary to separate the two people who were fighting.
Ye Manzhi also took the opportunity to pull Qiu Yanping out of the office and advised, "Sister-in-law, the higher-ups have already made a decision regarding Director He's matter. You and your children should just take care of yourselves and live a good life. There's really no need to get entangled with Liu Hanmin!"
"It's not okay for him to throw dirty water on Lao He!"
"But arguing with Liu Hanmin is fruitless!" Ye Manzhi frowned and said, "Think about it carefully. His request is to be reinstated and return to work at the factory. Only when his demands are met will he stop making trouble. But if Liu Hanmin really comes back, it means there is nothing wrong with him. If he is fine, then the problem must be with someone else!"
And who is this other person?
It is most likely that it was Deputy Director He who was pointed out by him.
Ye Manzhi felt that Sister Qiu was not very rational, and there was really no benefit in getting entangled with Liu Hanmin!
Qiu Yanping said, "You didn't hear what Liu Hanmin said. If he had just complained a few times, I wouldn't have bothered with him since he had just been fired. But he's throwing dirty water on Lao He, saying he has problems with his lifestyle. How can I tolerate that?"
Lao He is no longer with us, but his family members still have to continue working and living in the factory.
Accusing him of having relationship problems is not just throwing dirty water on Lao He, but throwing dirty water on their entire family!
Her son still has to work in the factory, and he cannot bear this stigma!
Liu Hanmin sneered, "I've asked everyone outside the fire scene that day, and no one saw Director He running into the workshop to put out the fire. This means he didn't run in from outside, but stayed inside the workshop the entire time! The safety officers for the workshop that day were Lao Guo and I. Director He asked us to go home for the holidays, claiming that the security department would come to patrol. At the time, there was also the quality inspector, Su Xiu, on duty in the workshop. We all know Su Xiu's reputation. Why could the director come to the workshop on duty during the holidays? How could we be so tactless as to stay in the workshop and get in the way!"
"I got home at around six o'clock, and the fire in the workshop started at half past seven. What could have happened for a man and a woman to be alone in a workshop for so long? Two people died in the fire: He Dali and Su Xiu!"
Everyone: “…”
After his analysis, it's easy to associate it with relationships between men and women.
There are also simple beds in the workshop duty room for safety officers to rest.
Even the office location is available!
Liu Hanmin shouted, "When the factory caught fire, I, as a safety officer, failed to stay at my post. It was indeed my fault, but I left at the request of the deputy factory director. He Dali was the deputy factory director on duty that day. What was wrong with me obeying him? The factory can discipline me and criticize me, but they can't fire me, right?"
Since leaving the street office, Ye Manzhi hasn't seen such a bustling scene for a long time.
I didn't expect that a fire case could be linked to the relationship between a man and a woman.
However, as the saying goes, words are not enough, and death is not enough to prove anything. What Liu Hanmin said was all his speculation.
Apart from throwing dirty water on the late Deputy Director He, his speculation is useless.
The joint investigation team had already determined that the fire was an accidental fire caused by a short circuit in the wires.
If a safety officer is absent from work without reason, the factory will not allow him to return to work.
The others were just listening for fun, but family member Qiu Yanping was so angry that she took a deep breath and pointed at Liu Hanmin, saying, "What you said is pure slander! My husband, Mr. He, is already 50 years old. How could I not know if he has any problems with his lifestyle?"
Everyone in the office: "..."
Emma, this is a lot of information.
Liu Hanmin took a moment to react, then understood what she meant and taunted, "Just because he can't do it at home doesn't mean he can't do it outside. Just because he can't do it with you doesn't mean he can't do it with others!"
Qiu Yanping stopped talking nonsense with him, took out a diagnosis from the People's Hospital from her pocket and handed it to Niu Enjiu.
"Director Niu, you're the director, so please clear Lao He's name! This was his previous diagnosis. He's been taking Chinese medicine for several years with no improvement. We paid for the treatment ourselves, not through the company. What Liu Hanmin said about the relationship between a man and a woman is completely unfounded!"
When Niu Enjiu saw the three words "impotence" on the diagnosis, his expression was indescribable.
I don’t go for medical reimbursement because I don’t want anyone to know.
If Lao He were still alive, he would probably rather be involved in some gossip than reveal the secret he had kept for many years.
However, people still have to live their lives, and a hypocritical deputy factory director is always more glorious than one with work style problems.
Apart from the injury to Mr. He, there was basically no impact on his family.
Niu Enjiu passed the diagnosis to several people nearby, which was considered to be a way to clear Lao He's name.
Ye Manzhi could guess roughly what was going on. She took a step back and didn't look at Deputy Director He's private life.
Liu Hanmin, who had just been making a confident argument, stared at the diagnosis and muttered, "If it's not a relationship issue, then what are they doing alone in the workshop?"
He didn't lie, it was really He Dali who asked him to leave!
Qiu Yanping, as if deeply humiliated, rushed over to attack Liu Hanmin. "He's the on-duty factory manager. What's wrong with him guarding the workshop? Liu Hanmin! If you dare to throw dirty water on my Lao He again, I'll report you to the police! And I'll have your family members fired from the factory!"
She knew very well that the food factory would not allow Liu Hanmin to enter, but she still insisted on bringing him in, just to confront him face to face and clear Lao He of the suspicion that he had work style problems!
She can have an extremely incompetent husband, but she cannot have a husband with bad conduct!
*
Ye Manzhi came forward to comfort the sad Sister Qiu, and after sending her out of the factory gate, she still felt a little confused.
Judging from Liu Hanmin's expression, he doesn't seem to be lying.
Director He first switched shifts with Chen Qian, and then persuaded the two safety officers to leave. Could it be that he was really being too kind?
Anyway, every Chinese New Year and other holidays, she prayed that she would not be chosen to be on duty.
She could never do something like Director He, who took the initiative to work overtime during the Lantern Festival.
In the following days, she did not see Liu Hanmin causing trouble at the factory gate, and she put the matter behind her.
She became the deputy director of operations and would have to deal with various departments in the city.
So, she found time to visit her former leaders and old connections.
Including the district head Mulanmu of Zhengyang District, Zhang Qinjian of Guangming Commune, colleagues from the Municipal Finance Bureau and the Industrial Bureau who had participated in the cooperative reform together, and by the way, I also visited my old classmate Chen Teye at the Industrial Bureau.
When she took the children back to the Wu family's old house, she also made a special trip to the provincial university to visit the department head and Teacher Ouyang.
Wu Yuzhuo followed her to eat and drink for free and had dinner in the provincial canteen.
Ye Manzhi was busy and visited everyone he needed to visit. Finally, he mustered up the courage and decided to go back to the Provincial Department of Industry to ask for money.
Given the current situation of the food factory, it is impossible to get a loan, and there is no hope of borrowing money.
Now we can still use the excuse of building a factory to keep the employees, but what will happen after the factory is built?
You can't just stop working and wait for the birth of your baby.
After much thought, she decided that this matter would depend on the technical transformation funds from the Department of Industry.
However, just as she walked into the gate of the provincial department and was savoring the excitement of returning to her hometown, she ran into Zhao Guilin who had just walked out of the office building.
"Manager Zhao, what a coincidence!" Ye Manzhi greeted with a smile. "How's the office of the Provincial Leather Industry Company? Is it bright?"
"That's definitely brighter than your food factory!" Zhao Guilin asked with a smile, "What brings Director Ye back? Are you asking for money?"
Ye Manzhi didn't hide it. "Indeed, we have this plan. Didn't our factory just experience a fire? Now we urgently need funds for technical renovation and reconstruction."
"Haha, forget it. This year, the light industry only has two technical transformation quotas. One was allocated at the beginning of the year, and the other was allocated by this person," Zhao Guilin gave a thumbs up, "to the Provincial Sugar Industry Company. We're a step too late!"
Ye Manzhi: “…”
The director’s secretary is awesome!
Look at how quickly he reacted. He brought a sum of technical transformation funds to the unit as soon as he took office.
It's easy to gain a foothold in the new position.
There was no need for Zhao Guilin to play dumb with her about this matter. Even Zhao Guilin couldn't get the funds for technical transformation, so there was no need for her to show off in front of the leaders.
She went upstairs and heard that Xia Zhuyun was still in a meeting, so she left the half pound of milk candy she brought in the secretary's office and turned around to go home.
…
Although there was no source of funds, Director Ye was not as anxious as one might imagine.
Comrade Wu Yuzhuo has made great progress in his studies in the kindergarten's interest class. The teacher plans to let the children in the dance class participate in the Children's Day art performance held in the city this year.
Dancer Wu Yuzhuo is actively practicing the dance choreographed by her teacher, just waiting to make a stunning debut.
This little comrade not only practices in front of his parents, but also actively demonstrates when he goes to his grandmother's and great-grandmother's homes.
As a result, all relatives and friends knew that Wu Yuzhuo was going to perform on stage.
Both his parents felt that with such a big fanfare, it would be difficult for the great dancer to end up in the industry if he didn’t win first place.
Wu Yuzhuo didn't realize the seriousness of the problem. One weekend morning, she found her mother changed her clothes and prepared to go out. She stopped dancing and followed her like a little tail, asking, "Mom, where are you going? Who are you going to have dinner with? Can you take me with you?"
Ye Manzhi has had a lot of dinner parties recently, and eight out of ten times she goes out are to eat with people.
"Having dinner with classmates." Ye Manzhi glanced at the closed study door, knowing that Dr. Wu had gone back inside to delve into his studies. "Change your clothes. Dad doesn't have time for you. Come with me today."
The person Wu Yuzhuo wanted to eat with today was Ye Manzhi's college roommate Bian Queqiao.
Bian Queqiao had to be on duty at the company on the weekend, so Ye Manzhi took the children directly to the canteen of the heavy machinery factory.
Seeing today's "meal ticket", Wu Yuzhuo called out "Aunt Qiaoqiao", and received a kiss on the face from Aunt Qiaoqiao. Then she sat obediently beside him waiting for dinner to start.
I hope I can eat braised pork today!
Bian Queqiao held the little girl in his arms for a long time, then finally gave Ye Manyi a complaining look, "That matter you mentioned to me is a bit risky!"
"Why?"
"It hasn't been that long since your Industry Department shut down the cannery run by our Heavy Machinery Factory! And you're already asking us for equipment!"
Ye Manzhi was originally in the leadership group for rectification and closure, and he closed down many small factories run by non-industrial sectors.
Among them was a small cannery at the heavy machinery factory.
She had just closed someone else's factory not long ago, and now she shamelessly came to ask for cooperation.
It's a bit of that indeed.
But, it was all for work, so she was willing to risk her life for it.
"Secretary, please don't tell your leaders that I used to work in the Industry Department!"
