Siheyuan: After traveling through time, who can still be an honest person?

Ma Weijun also blamed his apprentice for being unreliable and failing at the critical moment.

I had already told him to be more honest and go to get off work and leave on time. Now he was caught red-handed. It's so infuriating.

But no matter how angry you are, you must protect your disciple.

Ma Weijun coughed and explained to the factory leaders above him: "Director Yang, Deputy Director Li, Cao Yue asked me for leave yesterday. He was not feeling well and needed to go see a doctor. I forgot to tell you just now..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by someone in a sarcastic tone.

"Head Ma, although Cao Yue is your apprentice, you cannot protect him without principles. You said he asked for leave, did he have a note? I have heard from the comrades in the security department that Comrade Cao Yue has a problem of being late and leaving early. Everyone knows that although the current situation is not as severe as in previous years, the security department is an important force in protecting the safety of the factory. How can an unorganized and undisciplined person take on such an important task!"

"That's right. The position in the Security Department is too important. We must be cautious when examining cadres. Comrade Cao Yue is too young and has a lazy personality. I think he should be trained for a few years first." The person next to him echoed.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, let alone a large factory with tens of thousands of people.

Since Cao Yue has revealed his flaws, naturally someone will take advantage of the situation so that their people can take the blame.

Moreover, Cao Yue’s qualifications were indeed insufficient, and many people were unhappy with his promotion to the position at such a young age.

Someone else said hypocritically, "Section Chief Ma, you just said that Comrade Cao Yue was not feeling well and asked for leave. Let's assume that what you said is true. I heard that his health has not been very good. The work intensity of the security department is very high. I think if his health is really not good, we should not add more burdens to him. This is also for his own good, to protect young comrades!"

Ma Weijun wanted to refute but couldn't find a reason, so he could only look at Director Yang and Deputy Director Li.

"cough~"

Deputy Director Li coughed, and the voices in the conference room quieted down a bit, but the debate did not stop.

Seeing that this group of guys didn't give him face, Deputy Director Li's face darkened.

dong dong!

At this time, Director Yang knocked on the table twice, and the meeting room became quiet.

Director Yang looked at Deputy Director Li and motioned for him to speak.

Deputy Director Li did not appreciate it, instead he was secretly resentful.

The man surnamed Yang had ill intentions and was obviously trying to show him his prestige among the crowd.

Deputy Factory Director Li said expressionlessly, "Just now everyone said that Comrade Cao Yue was late and left early, and that he was in poor health. I think these are all one-sided statements and should not be taken seriously."

"No investigation, no right to speak!"

"I think it would be better to wait for Cao Yue to come and find out the situation before drawing any conclusions."

At this point, he looked to the side and asked, "Director Yang, what do you mean?"

Director Yang nodded and said, "Let's do it this way. We'll decide on the deputy section chief this afternoon."

After saying that, Director Yang stood up and was about to adjourn the meeting when his secretary walked in from outside.

"Director, the comrades from the subdistrict office and Director Han from the police station are here. They said they want to see you."

"Street Office? Police Station? What are they doing here?"

Director Yang was full of questions, but he still asked his secretary to invite the person in.

Soon, the police station chief Lin Feng and the director of the street office Wang Cuilian arrived.

Director Yang asked with a smile: "Director Lin, Director Wang, you are rare guests, what can I do for you?"

Director Lin Feng looked at Wang Cuilian and asked her to speak. Wang Cuilian stepped forward and told her about Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong's conspiracy to write an anonymous letter to falsely accuse Cao Yue.

"What?" Director Yang was furious when he heard this, and immediately shouted to his secretary, "Go to the workshop right now and call Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong over to me."

five minutes later.

Yi Zhonghai, looking pale, and Liu Haizhong, looking trembling with fear, came before Director Yang.

Both of them looked haggard, with red and swollen eyes, and it seemed that they did not get enough rest last night.

Director Yang asked sternly, "Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, just now Director Wang from your subdistrict office said that you two framed Comrade Cao Yue. What's going on?"

As an eighth-level fitter, Yi Zhonghai has always been very prestigious in the steel rolling mill. Even Director Yang used to address him as "Master Yi" when they met. But now, facing Director Yang's stormy questioning, his lips trembled and he was speechless.

As for Liu Haizhong, he was even more cowardly. What he wanted most in his life was to be an official. He had a natural fear of leaders. His legs were shaking like a sieve and his face was pale.

As soon as Director Yang saw the expressions of the two men, he knew the answer and said angrily, "You are so bold. Let's talk about how to deal with them."

Ma Weijun said angrily: "We must hold a factory-wide meeting to severely criticize these two old bastards."

Deputy Director Li snorted coldly: "Not only that, they must be severely punished. I suggest that they be responsible for cleaning the public toilets in the factory."

"That's it."

Director Yang made the final decision and looked at Lin Feng again: "As for how the police station will deal with their behavior, our steel rolling mill will not interfere."

At this moment, a man walked in quickly from outside and whispered in Director Yang's ear: "Director, the leader wants to talk to you on the phone."

Director Yang's face turned serious and he said to everyone, "Everyone wait for me for a moment, I'll be back soon."

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Ma Weijun walked up to Deputy Director Li and said in a deep voice, "Director Li, isn't it too light a punishment to just clean the toilet?"

Deputy Director Li pondered and said, "After all, they attempted to succeed. It would be bad to punish them too harshly."

Ma Weijun was about to persuade him, but Deputy Director Li changed the subject and said, "However, the police station can detain them for a few days as a punishment."

Director Lin added: "Slandering the families of martyrs is a serious act. Since they have not caused serious consequences, they can be detained for seven days."

When they heard that they were going to be detained, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong's legs went weak and they almost collapsed to the ground.

One minute later.

Director Yang hurried back, and the people in the conference room could clearly see that he had an agitated and somewhat angry look on his face.

Just when everyone was confused.

Director Yang clapped his hands and said loudly, "Everyone, I have a piece of good news to announce. Comrade Cao Yue, an officer of our factory's security department, assisted the armed forces department in capturing an enemy spy alive early this morning, and the superior leaders specially sent a commendation order."

The voice just fell.

The people in the conference room looked at each other, and the next second there was thunderous applause.

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong were stunned and knew that something was wrong.

"Director Yang, I agree that Comrade Cao Yue will serve as deputy chief of the Security Department."

"I agree, too. The position of deputy section chief belongs to him."

Everyone in the conference room expressed their opinions, and Ma Weijun discovered that the person who had just strongly opposed was shouting the loudest.

Director Yang said: "Since everyone agrees, the appointment will be announced immediately."

After saying that, everyone's eyes turned to Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong.

Deputy Factory Director Li said coldly: "Just now we discussed that we should let the police station detain him for seven days, and then clean the toilet after he comes back..."

"This is too easy for them." Director Yang said coldly, "We also need to send them to the foundry workshop to reform their thinking."

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong trembled when they heard that they would be sent to the "foundry workshop".

The foundry is the dirtiest, most tiring and most dangerous place. Not only does it have to withstand high temperatures, but it also has to be exposed to toxic and harmful gases.

This is really miserable!

Yi Zhonghai said in a trembling voice: "Director, I have been working in the steel mill all my life. Even if I have no merits, I have worked hard. Please forgive me this time because I was confused for a moment."

Director Yang ignored him and signaled Director Lin and Ma Weijun to take the two men away.

One workshop.

Jia Dongxu was working with a heavy heart.

Yi Zhonghai was suddenly called away by the factory director. The other workers didn't know what had happened, but he knew it clearly.

I felt both relieved and worried.

Fortunately, because of the matter of Xu Damao and his wife Qin Huairu, his family has been keeping a low profile recently and did not even attend the whole hospital meeting last night.

Otherwise, if he agreed with a few words, he would not only be beaten by Cao Yue, but he might also be implicated.

What they are worried about, of course, is that something might happen to Yi Zhonghai.

He did not have deep feelings for Yi Zhonghai, but he was afraid of what he would do in the courtyard and the factory after Yi Zhonghai fell.

Just now.

The factory's radio loudspeaker sounded.
