The next day, just after work, a roar was heard in Director Li's office.

"You stupid pig, you do stupid things every day. Lin Zongxuan provoked you and you flirted with him?"

Li Huaide, who was in his forties, scolded Liu Haizhong, who was over fifty years old, for a long time like he was scolding a child, and only then did he feel a little relieved.

"Liu Haizhong, I'll let you go this time because you were loyal in the past. If you dare to act on your own next time, you won't be a team leader anymore. Go back to the workshop."

Liu Haizhong had worked so hard to realize his dream of becoming an official. When he heard this, he was so frightened that his teeth started to chatter.

He quickly assured Li Huaide: "Don't worry, I will definitely correct myself and never do anything wrong again."

"Well, as long as your repentance is sincere, then we can still be good comrades."

Li Huaide pondered for a while, thinking that Liu Haizhong had done a lot of dirty and tiring work recently, offended a lot of people, and didn't get much advantage, so he asked: "Team Leader Liu, is your second son Guangtian still unemployed?"

Liu Haizhong was a little confused by Li Huaide's question and said vaguely: "Thank you for your concern, but my son is not doing well. He is still doing odd jobs on the street and his income is not enough to support himself."

"Comrade Liu Haizhong." Li Huaide said kindly, "You are now the leader of the steel mill. As a leader, you must not only do your job well, but also take care of your family. Otherwise, if word gets out that your son is still unemployed, it will have a bad influence."

"You mean..." Liu Haizhong understood what Li Huaide meant and was overjoyed.

"Let him come to the factory as a temporary worker first, and let him work in the Propaganda Department. Let Xu Damao take care of him, and then he can become a regular employee when the time is right."

Li Huaide held Liu Haizhong's hand and said kindly, "Don't worry, I won't treat a loyal person unfairly."

,,,,,,

After Liu Haizhong left, Li Huaide thought about it and made another call. This time, his tone was much gentler.

"Hello, I'm Li Huaide, looking for your section chief Lin Zongxuan."

When the man on the other side heard that it was Li Huaide, who was now in charge of the factory, his attitude immediately became much more respectful: "Director Li, I am Li Jinming, assistant to the chief of the purchasing department. Our chief is now in the warehouse. Do you have any instructions?"

Li Huaide paused for a moment and said, "Let your section chief be busy first. When he has time, ask him to come to my place."

Li Huaide said this, but it was impossible for the people under him to not take it seriously. Within half an hour, someone knocked on his office door.

After Lin Zongxuan entered, he closed the door as usual, and then asked softly: "Director Li, are you looking for me?"

"It's not easy to meet with you, Chief Lin, who is so busy with things."

Li Huaide made a joke before getting down to business: "Recently, a batch of special steel will be delivered to the factory, so Director Lian from the Metallurgical Department will come today. You and I will go to receive him in the evening.

Director Lian's ancestral home is in Shandong Province. You can go and make some arrangements later. Get some good food and have Ding Zu prepare a table of Shandong cuisine."

"Yes, I'll make arrangements when I get out and make sure the leader is satisfied."

Lin Zongxuan was a little confused. Isn't this the job of the canteen director? After all, in this kind of situation, the canteen can also get what he can show off.

Li Huaide did not explain much, but stood up and talked about another matter: "I heard that yesterday, Liu, the leader of the workers' picket team, had some misunderstandings with you?"

Lin Zongxuan's expression froze, and he replied with a smile: "If you say it's a misunderstanding, then of course it is a misunderstanding."

"It seems like he's still angry."

Li Huaide was not angry at all when Lin Zongxuan said something to him, but his expression became more friendly: "It's good to be energetic. Young cadres should be steady but not lose their sharpness.

I was more aggressive than you back then. In Shudu, I dared to contradict our regiment commander in front of the political commissar. But that's why my father-in-law took a liking to me."

Li Huaide talked about what happened back then, with a hint of nostalgia on his face, but he quickly changed the subject and his tone gradually became serious: "Personal grudges aside, Comrade Liu Haizhong is now a cadre under the Games after all, and his work attitude is still good. I hope you can consider the overall situation and not be blinded by anger."

Lin Zongxuan replied calmly: "Please rest assured, I will never let my emotions affect my work."

"That's right." Li Huaide patted Lin Zongxuan's shoulder with satisfaction and said meaningfully: "Xiao Lin, you will have a bright future. Why bother to fight for a short time?"

After walking out of Li Huaide's office, Lin Zongxuan saw Liu Haizhong who was waiting for him halfway on his way back to the purchasing department.

His face was devoid of the arrogance of yesterday, and large streams of sweat flowed from his brows into his eyes. It was unclear whether it was due to the sun or because he was too nervous.

"Team Leader Liu, what are you doing?"

Lin Zongxuan asked in surprise as he walked around him, opened the office door and walked in.

"Chief Lin, Chief Lin."

Liu Haizhong followed in with a shy face, closed the door, bent down and said: "I'm here to apologize to you."

"apologize?"

Lin Zongxuan said in confusion: "We are neighbors and colleagues, and we don't have any conflicts. There is nothing to apologize for.

Or maybe I did something wrong that caused you to misunderstand me. If that's the case, I'd better apologize to you first."

"Alas alas"

Liu Haizhong was so anxious that he slapped himself twice in the face, then took a cane off his back and handed it forward earnestly: "Chief Lin, I came here today to apologize. I shouldn't have instigated you at the hospital meeting yesterday. If you are still angry, hit me hard."

Lin Zongxuan looked at the vine in front of him and suddenly felt like laughing.

Of course he knew the story of carrying a thorny stick to ask for forgiveness, but he was not Lin Xiangru, and Liu Haizhong was at best a broken knife that could be used and thrown away.

After leaving Liu Haizhong alone for a while, Lin Zongxuan picked up the cane and returned it to Liu Haizhong, saying calmly: "It's all a misunderstanding. There's no need for such a big fuss. However, I think that this is a critical period and everyone still needs a stable rear."

"Team Leader Liu, what do you think?"
