Chairman Liu's words contained not a single swear word, yet he utterly denigrated Rong Guoguang, making him seem utterly worthless.
As the head of the secretariat, Liu Zhonghe bluntly stated that he was not even qualified to write the drafts needed by the factory director, so what face did he have left?
Director Mo, unaware of the truth, felt that Liu Zhonghe had gone too far. He wanted to say something nice to his subordinate, but to his surprise, he found that Rong Guoguang, who had been belittled by Liu Zhonghe, was not angry at all, but instead looked guilty.
Director Mo wasn't stupid; he immediately realized that what Liu Zhonghe had said must be very important.
He told Liu Zhonghe, "Please wait in my office for a moment, Chairman Liu. I'll arrange for someone to write the draft. The factory director's matter can't be delayed."
Liu Zhonghe nodded in agreement and led Xia Wenhua into Director Mo's office.
Everyone in the secretariat witnessed this scene. Since no one recognized Xia Wenhua, their seemingly casual glances all went towards Rong Guoguang.
As the group leader of the Secretariat's Group 1, Rong Guoguang is a highly respected figure in the Secretariat.
He is a very good writer and was once the former factory director's personal writer.
He was not promoted after the current factory manager took over due to a mistake, but his professional competence is beyond doubt.
Now that the factory committee leaders have come knocking on his door and bluntly stated that Rong Guoguang is not qualified to write articles for the factory director, everyone's curiosity can no longer be concealed.
Rong Guoguang had never been so embarrassed in the secretariat. Director Mo was once his peer, and he had never been convinced of his superiority.
He, who used to be looked down upon by everyone, could only slink away as he faced the malicious stares of the crowd.
Director Mo didn't keep Liu Zhonghe waiting long; after arranging the people, he quickly went into his office.
After closing the office door, he realized there was another person he didn't recognize there.
"Chairman Liu, who is this?"
Judging from Liu Zhonghe's tone, he was definitely going to point out the shortcomings of the Secretariat.
As the head of the secretariat, Director Mo was unaware of the matter at the time, and his first reaction was to minimize the impact of the incident and keep the number of people who knew about it as low as possible.
Liu Zhonghe glanced at Rong Guoguang and then introduced, "This is Comrade Xia Wenhua, the newcomer who was supposed to join your secretariat. The factory committee has just completed her onboarding procedures, and she will be a new member of your secretariat from now on."
"A new person in our secretariat? Didn't we just have a new person? How come there's another one?" Director Mo's first reaction upon hearing this was to look at Rong Guoguang.
The last newcomer was brought by Rong Guoguang, who even offered to mentor the newcomer, leaving everything to Rong Guoguang.
Now that a new person has appeared, Director Mo is naturally puzzled.
Liu Zhonghe twitched the corner of his lips: "Xia, show your materials to Director Mo."
Today at the steel plant is destined to be a tough battle, and Xia Wenhua has already prepared all the materials.
After Liu Zhonghe finished speaking, she immediately handed it to Director Mo.
"Hello Director Mo, I am Xia Wenhua. These are all my onboarding documents."
Director Mo was looking at the documents Xia Wenhua handed him when Liu Zhonghe finally looked at Rong Guoguang properly.
"Team Leader Rong, we're already here, so I don't need to tell you what you've done, do I?"
Liu Zhonghe himself is here, and his attitude is very clear: he doesn't want to let this matter pass easily. Rong Guoguang has no other choice.
He looked at the aggressive Liu Zhonghe, then glanced at Xia Wenhua, gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and stepped forward.
"Director Mo, I..."
People still remember to save face. Even though Xia Wenhua and Liu Zhonghe already knew the truth, Rong Guoguang still didn't want to admit his mistake in front of others, so he whispered the current situation to Director Mo.
Director Mo saw Xia Wenhua's employment materials, which stated that Xia Wenhua had a high school diploma and had even been admitted to university. Before he could even rejoice that their secretariat had welcomed another capable member, he heard Rong Guoguang's confession.
His expression froze instantly, and he turned to stare blankly at Rong Guoguang.
"What did you say? Say it again!"
Rong Guoguang lowered his head: "Director Mo, I'm sorry."
For the first time, he willingly addressed him as Director Mo, hoping that Director Mo could talk to Liu Zhonghe and persuade him to leave quickly and not get involved in their secretariat's affairs.
Director Mo was not moved by his sincere attitude. He looked at Xia Wenhua standing next to Liu Zhonghe, then at Rong Guoguang, wishing he could just dump all the materials in his hand on Rong Guoguang's head.
He took several deep breaths before he could barely suppress the anger in his heart.
"Chairman Liu, I understand about this matter. It's all our fault for not coordinating things properly, which has caused trouble for the factory committee. I will definitely handle it well and ensure that no one is wrongly accused of wrongdoing!"
Everyone takes responsibility for themselves first. Liu Zhonghe's biggest thought in coming here in person is definitely to remove the factory committee from the list.
Director Mo was quite decisive; Rong Guoguang had already taken the blame, and it was too late for him to try to take it back. The priority was to appease Liu Zhonghe.
Liu Zhonghe nodded in agreement, without being polite to Director Mo.
His time was precious, and he was already grateful to have come all this way. He didn't want to waste too much time here, so he directly stated his thoughts.
"Director Mo, this Comrade Xia Wenhua is a military dependent. She has a high level of education, and the person recommended by the military this time is also outstanding. She has been wronged as soon as she came to our factory, and I think we should give her an explanation."
Liu Zhonghe had a good impression of Xia Wenhua. She was not easily taken advantage of, but she was also not unreasonable. She knew when to advance and when to retreat and did not make things difficult for him. He was willing to give her face.
Whether for Xia Wenhua's sake or because of her status as a military family member, he should say this.
"I think Comrade Rong Guoguang's problem is very serious. I hope that this kind of person who has tarnished the image of our steel plant can be dealt with accordingly."
Of course, Liu Zhonghe didn't rule out the possibility entirely.
He simply stated his position and gave Director Mo a chance to back down before leaving.
"I'm just stating my opinion. Director Mo knows more about the secretariat than I do, so I'll definitely stick to his opinion. I won't get involved."
After dropping a bomb, Liu Zhonghe strode away, leaving three people standing in Director Mo's office in silence for a long time.
Director Mo looked at Xia Wenhua, then at Rong Guoguang, and really wanted to curse.
What kind of mess is this? They've gotten themselves into such a mess right after the holiday. Will their secretariat even be eligible for an award this year?
After cursing under his breath for a long time, Director Mo finally calmed down and let Rong Guoguang leave first.
After Rong Guoguang reluctantly left the office, he earnestly questioned Xia Wenhua.
"Comrade Xia, it was my mistake that caused you to suffer injustice. You are the aggrieved party. Do you have any opinions on the handling of Comrade Rong Guoguang?"
