Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

Wu Hongtao couldn't help laughing after hearing this, and almost bent over with laughter. "Director Li, Sun Donghai is just fooling Director Liang, don't believe him.

As for why he was able to pass the second-level technician exam?

Zhang Haiyang was in charge of the promotion exam. In fact, Jia Dongming's level was not high enough at that time, but due to financial difficulties at home, Zhang Haiyang pleaded with the factory leaders and promised that Jia Dongming would soon improve his skills to the level of a second-level technician. The leaders approved Jia Dongming's promotion for Zhang Haiyang's sake.

This is why Kang Hongyu couldn't help laughing when he heard that the factory had discovered another genius similar to Jia Dongming.

Li Jian** was surprised and asked: "Lao Kang, how do you know this?"

Kang Hongyu smiled and explained: "You were transferred to our factory after the public-private partnership. It's normal that you don't know these things. My father was an old worker in the factory back then, and he told me all these things. At that time, Zhang Haiyang once said that Jia Dongming would soon become a senior technician in the factory and inherit his legacy."

Li Jianhua narrowed his eyes, "Why did Zhang Haiyang accept Jia Dongming as his apprentice?"

Kang Hongyu thought about it and said uncertainly: "Maybe it's because they live in the same yard. Apart from this reason, it's really puzzling."

Li Jianhua pondered for a moment, remembering Zhang Haiyang's mention of the new tenants who moved into their yard, and thought Kang Hongyu's guess made sense. He nodded and asked, "Has anything special happened in the factory during this period?"

Kang Hongyu smiled and said, "Nothing serious happened, except that Ah Dai didn't come to work these two days. I heard he was beaten."

The news that Ah Dai was beaten made Li Jianhua feel complicated, with both gloating and worry. He hadn't had a good meal for a long time since he was away from home, and he had planned to go home to improve his diet. If Ah Dai was beaten and couldn't cook, and other people's cooking skills were far inferior to Ah Dai, the situation would be quite troublesome.

"Did he go to work today?"

Kang Hongyu shook his head. "Not yet. He may not come until around nine o'clock."

Li Jianhua nodded and said, "When Ah Dai arrives at work, let me know."

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the office, and the factory secretary came in and said that Li Wei notified everyone to attend a meeting.

Li Jianhua signaled his secretary and Kang Hongyu to go back first, and he would tidy up and prepare for the meeting. Zheng Datao saw that everyone had been notified, so he went to Li Wei's office to report on his work. At this moment, Zhang Haiyang was still in his office.

"Director, Deputy Director Ding Jianmin will be back later due to a physical examination. The others are already in the conference room."

Li Wei nodded and said, "Lao Zhang, I have agreed to what you proposed. I will tell everyone this news during the meeting later."

Seeing Li Wei's agreement, Zhang Haiyang stood up with a smile and said, "Director, thank you so much for this. I will definitely work hard to train outstanding talents."

"Okay, our factory needs experienced technicians and technical backbones like you."

Seeing that Li Wei and Zhang Haiyang were so close, Zheng Datao hesitated whether he should mention Zhang Haiyang's affairs. But he couldn't hide such an important matter from Li Wei.

After Zhang Haiyang left, Zheng Datao said, "Director, there is something about Zhang Haiyang that I must report to you."

When mentioning Zhang Haiyang, Zheng Datao's voice was a little cold.

Li Wei waved his hand and looked at his watch, then said, "Director Zheng, we should treat the old workers in the factory with more respect. It's almost time, let's have the meeting first and talk after it's over."

As he spoke, Li Wei walked out of the office and headed for the meeting room. Zheng Datao had no choice but to stop him. After all, if Li Wei didn't go at this time, other leaders would think he was showing off.

The meeting room was filled with smoke, and everyone asked Li Jianhua about the inspection. Li Wei came in and said, "Comrades, let's start the meeting now. Before the meeting, I want to share a good news with you. Our Master Zhang has just discovered a genius in fitter. He said that he will soon be able to train this person into an excellent senior fitter. This is a great event for our factory, and everyone applauds and congratulates."

A round of applause broke out, and Li Jianhua bit his lip, trying not to laugh out loud. He and Li Wei were not colleagues, and he felt very happy to see the other make a fool of himself.

Zheng Datao, who was standing next to him, was nervous. If he had known that the genius Zhang Haiyang was talking about was related to this, he would have stopped him from doing this, even if it would embarrass Li Wei. In order to prevent Li Wei from making a fool of himself, he kept making gestures to Li Wei.

Li Wei ignored it and continued, "It is said that this person will be assigned to our factory. I decided to send him to Master Zhang's workshop and let Master Zhang teach him personally."

The pen in Zheng Datao's hand slipped to the ground. Yesterday, Deputy Director Wang of the Street Office told him that Wang Dashan was assigned to work in the steel rolling mill. Wang Dashan and Zhang Haiyang had a grudge, and if the two were in the same workshop, there would definitely be many conflicts.

Zheng Datao no longer cared about etiquette and stood up. "Director, our factory has not received any new workers assigned. Is there a misunderstanding?"

Everyone in the room was surprised. What was Zheng Datao doing?

#### The situation in the conference room is changing

"We have discussed almost all the issues. Ladies and gentlemen, let's end the meeting here." Fang Wenqing announced in a calm tone.

Zhao Haide suddenly said, "Director Fang, Deputy Director Lao Li is here too. Can we discuss the new technician genius?"

Fang Wenqing's heart tightened, but he didn't show it on his face. He knew that Zhao Haide's move was intended to stir up some trouble, but he couldn't blame anyone.

Beads of sweat oozed out of Zhang Fusheng's forehead, and he secretly prayed that Lao Li didn't know about Wu Qiang.

However, the folk saying always comes true: "Good things will come to those who are lucky, and bad things will come to those who are evil." Zhang Fusheng's prayers did not come true.

Fang Wenqing asked calmly, "Deputy Factory Manager Lao Li, you are in charge of management recently. Are there any new employees reporting in?"

Old Li had no idea about this, but since he was asked, he naturally couldn't avoid answering: "Indeed, a man came to report the day before yesterday. His name is Wu Qiang, a retired soldier, and he has a second-class medal. People of this level are usually assigned to the safety department. Isn't our factory's safety department short of a supervisor? I think he is very suitable."

Before he finished speaking, the conference room fell into silence. Logically speaking, Deputy Director Li's behavior was understandable. Even if Fang Wenqing hadn't come back, his arrangement wouldn't have caused much controversy. Even if Fang Wenqing had objections, he could only accept the facts. However, what was unexpected was that Fang Wenqing assigned Wu Qiang to the workshop without knowing it.

Zhao Haide's purpose was to force Zhang Fusheng to reveal the truth, but he did not expect to involve Deputy Factory Director Lao Li and Security Chief Sun Jianguo.

The scene suddenly became extremely awkward. Fang Wenqing's gaze was like a sharp blade, piercing directly at Zhang Fusheng, asking, "Why didn't you report such an important matter to me in advance?"

Zhang Fusheng was full of grievances, and he also wanted to find an opportunity to report, but Yi Zhonghua was always in Fang Wenqing's office, so he couldn't find a suitable opportunity. "Director, I have always wanted to report to you, but Yi Zhonghua was always in your office, so I didn't have a chance to say it."

Since he had already opened his mouth, Zhang Fusheng simply told him everything he had learned.

The veteran leaders present were well-informed, but this incident still left them dumbfounded: a man who was once known as the "big boss of the seven northern provinces" actually pretended to be a martyr's relative, defrauded donations, set up a private court, and was finally arrested and imprisoned, and all this happened in a small courtyard.

Zhang Fusheng hated Yi Zhonghua to the core and showed no mercy: "Old Zhang, who was transferred some time ago, lived in Yi Zhonghua's yard. He arrived at the machine repair factory and quickly passed the assessment for a level 5 technician. This aroused the suspicion of Director Wang of the Street Office, who believed that his failure to pass the assessment in our factory might be related to Yi Zhonghua."

The faces of all the people present turned extremely ugly, especially Fang Wenqing. He originally regarded Yi Zhonghua as the backbone of the factory, but now he found that this person made him extremely embarrassed.

"Have these matters been investigated clearly?" Fang Wenqing asked.

Zhang Fusheng nodded and responded: "These situations were verified by the Street Office. Regarding Lao Zhang's assessment, I also learned about it at the factory, and it is indeed related to Yi Zhonghua. The assessment at that time was presided over by Yi Zhonghua and Lu Zhijun, and Lu Zhijun is Yi Zhonghua's junior fellow student."

Although there was no direct evidence, the course of events was clear. Fang Wenqing's face was livid: "Send someone to investigate. There must be no mistakes in the worker assessment."

Realizing the mistake he had made, Fang Wenqing had to admit that he trusted Yi Zhonghua's one-sided statement and lacked in-depth investigation. Since he had already been embarrassed, he could not allow the loss to expand further. If he took his anger out on Wu Qiang, he would inevitably offend the deputy factory director, Lao Li, which was obviously an unwise move.

"Old Li suggested that Wu Qiang is suitable for the position of head of the Security Department. Does anyone have any opinions?" Fang Wenqing asked.

No one present dared to object because they understood that this was a test.

Seeing this, Fang Wenqing turned to the head of the security department, Sun Jianguo, and asked, "Jianguo, Wu Qiang will be your soldier from now on. What do you think?"

Sun Jianguo naturally accepted it with pleasure. Wu Qiang's background made it difficult for him to refuse, which was also the reason why Lao Li was so confident. "Director, I will obey the factory's arrangements."

Fang Wenqing was slightly surprised, but soon relieved: "Okay, I decide that Wu Qiang's rank will be set at level 22, and he will be the head of the safety department with a monthly salary of fifty-six yuan."

This was undoubtedly a surprise to Wu Qiang. According to the normal process, his first job level in the factory was only level 25. Even if he was the head of the safety department, his salary would not be so high. But Fang Wenqing had already seen that there must be communication between Lao Li and Sun Jianguo, which meant that Wu Qiang and him

"Zhou Yu, where are you taking Xiaomei?"

"Hello, Aunt Zhang." Xiaomei responded with a smile.

Aunt Zhang touched Xiaomei's head: "Xiaomei, you are so kind."

Zhou Yu replied: "The day before yesterday, I went to the steel plant and only met the deputy director Chen Li. He said that the director Wu Qiang came back today and asked me to go there today."

Aunt Zhang nodded: "What did people say in the old house after we left?"

Zhou Yu smiled and said: "Everyone is naturally very happy. Apart from anything else, everyone will be happy for several days just to get back the money they donated."
