The Luo family was happy, but Minister Yang was very unhappy. Xia Lan, whom he valued most, was only lent to him because Li Jianmin had begged him repeatedly. He only lent her to him out of friendship.
Instead, he sent the person home?
As soon as Minister Yang got off work, he rushed to Li Jianmin's house and slammed his fist on the table.
"Old Li, what's wrong with you? You begged me to give Xia Lan to you! And what did you do? To avoid offending Director Luo, you sent my good colleague home?"
"Old Yang, don't be angry, I had no choice..."
Li Jianmin sighed heavily. He knew he had wronged Minister Yang, but there was nothing he could do.
"You know how protective Deputy Factory Director Luo is of his precious son. For such a minor injury, he insisted on staying in the hospital and getting medicine from the doctor."
"Things have escalated like this, so all I can do is appease his anger and try to minimize the damage..."
"Oh, so you're trying to get rid of my people by downplaying this?"
"How come I didn't know you were so capable before? If you need to borrow my comrades, why don't you just do it yourself!"
Minister Yang became even angrier after hearing this.
"The male colleague in your department was attracted to Xia Lan's looks and wanted to break up her family. Aren't you going to let that male colleague be angry?"
"This was his fault to begin with, and you shamelessly helped him cover it up and even tried to drive away innocent people. You really are something else! You're really something else!"
Minister Yang pointed at Li Jianmin and said coldly.
"I don't care what methods you use, but Xia Lan is a good comrade in my department."
"She's someone the factory manager really knows. If it weren't for her young age, the factory manager would have promoted her. If he let her gain experience with me for a while, she could take over my position!"
"Who does Deputy Factory Director Luo think he is, firing my people?"
"Old Yang, don't get so agitated. Calm down, let's talk this over..."
Li Jianmin knew Xia Lan was a good person, but he didn't expect that even the factory director knew about her.
"I can't calm down. Do you know that she has accomplished what our factory has not been able to do for many years? She has a daily turnover of nearly ten thousand yuan!"
"Have you thought about what this number means? What does it represent? Do you even know? You're telling me to calm down?"
"I'm telling you, this isn't over!"
After slamming his fist on the table and threatening her, Minister Yang turned and left in anger.
Seeing that Minister Yang was so agitated and unable to calm down, Li Jianmin wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He couldn't afford to offend either the factory director or the deputy factory director.
I thought she was just an ordinary woman, but I never expected Minister Yang to get so angry over her.
The next day, Li Jianmin and the deputy factory director were invited to a meeting by the factory director.
Minister Yang sat next to the factory director. Li Jianmin and Deputy Factory Director Luo looked at the factory director's serious face and felt a chill run down their spines.
Li Jianmin, in particular, had heard what Minister Yang said last night, but he didn't expect the factory director to actually call him in for questioning today.
"I heard that Director Luo's precious son was beaten up? Can you tell me what happened?"
The factory director looked at Deputy Factory Director Luo, took a sip of tea, and slowly asked.
"Factory Director, this matter... is just a small thing. That woman was a bit indecent, so I asked her to leave," Deputy Factory Director Luo explained to the Factory Director.
"Oh? That woman is promiscuous? I heard she just got married and they have a great relationship?"
The factory director was clearly not satisfied with Deputy Director Luo's words, and his sharp eyes turned to Deputy Director Luo.
"From what I've heard, your son was harassing a woman, and when her husband saw it, he was beaten, right?"
Cold sweat trickled down Deputy Factory Director Luo's forehead. Seeing that the factory director was still fixated on this issue, it was clear that he wouldn't let the matter rest until it was clarified.
Seeing Deputy Factory Director Luo's expression, the factory director chuckled. "Besides, do you even know who Comrade Xia Lan is?"
"What...identity?" Deputy Factory Director Luo asked cautiously.
"That's the wife of the transport team leader!"
The factory manager slowly threw out a bomb.
Even the police chief respectfully calls her "sister-in-law".
The factory manager calmly dropped another bombshell.
"Last time, she achieved a daily income of over 1,000 yuan and a total income of almost 10,000 yuan. Even the higher-ups asked me to train her more."
Looking at Deputy Factory Director Luo, who was sweating profusely, the factory director calmly dropped another bombshell.
"And you, just like that, sent this female comrade home! What a fine thing to you! Have you been the deputy factory director for so long that you think you're in charge of the factory?"
Deputy Factory Director Luo's face turned pale.
Li Jianmin stood beside him, not daring to breathe loudly.
"This...I really don't know...her...identity..." Deputy Factory Director Luo took out a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, wanting to explain, but not knowing what to say.
"She's just an ordinary lesbian, does that give you the right to treat her like this?"
The factory director said coldly, his sharp eyes fixed on Deputy Factory Director Luo, who was completely unaware of his mistake.
It's just that Xia Lan's identity caused panic. It's such a sad thing that someone with such character is a deputy factory director.
“This…” Deputy Factory Director Luo looked at the Factory Director’s face, lowered his head, and his eyes showed his indifference.
"I'll go and ask Comrade Xia Lan to come back tomorrow so I can apologize to her in person. What do you think... is that alright?"
Deputy Factory Director Luo looked at the Factory Director, and one couldn't help but admire him; he was truly flexible and adaptable.
"If you still have a chance," the factory manager said slowly, taking out a stack of letters.
"These are all the complaint letters we received today. Many people in the factory have filed real-name complaints against you for accepting bribes, pocketing what was rightfully theirs, and even suppressing and threatening them not to speak out."
"Do you have anything to explain?" the factory director asked Deputy Factory Director Luo.
"Absolutely not, they're slandering me," Deputy Factory Director Luo retorted guiltily, startled.
"There are a few things I remember very clearly from the reports. Some comrades from the Discipline Inspection Commission have already verified them, and I believe we will have results soon." The factory director calmly took a sip of tea and looked at Deputy Factory Director Luo.
"I didn't! They framed me! Factory director, believe me, I absolutely didn't do that," Deputy Factory Director Luo said through gritted teeth.
"Is it Liu Wei, and Cao Jianfeng...?"
Deputy Factory Director Luo kept listing the people he had threatened. The factory director and Minister Yang listened as he recounted his past experiences of threatening others, some of whose names were not even mentioned in the complaint letter.
This shows how many shady dealings he has done and how many people he has harmed.
Frustrated by his threats, those people swallowed their anger and dared not report him.
Now everything will be investigated one by one, and Deputy Factory Director Luo's term as deputy factory director is almost over.
