Siheyuan, Me and the Yu Sisters

in the afternoon

Zhang Renkang had just woken up from a nap when he received a call from Li Huaide's office. You Fengxia informed him that Li Huaide had returned and was waiting for him in the office. He hurriedly washed his face in the washbasin at the door, picked up his coat and ran towards the office building.

After taking a breath downstairs, Zhang Renkang walked slowly upstairs to Li Huaide's office. As soon as he entered the door, he saw that Li Huaide's face was a little gloomy. Seeing Zhang Renkang coming, Li Huaide motioned You Fengxia to go out and said

"Things are complicated. At a meeting this morning, our superiors said that we need to work together and cross-cuttingly. All departments and units need to cross-cut and supervise each other. Our factory is jointly supervised by the Propaganda Committee and the Metallurgical Department of the Ministry of Industry. The Propaganda Committee will send people to the factory to guide our work in the future."

Zhang Renkang looked at Li Huaide without saying anything, and his heart suddenly became confused. He thought that Li Huaide was going to Hong Kong Island for another meeting, but he was caught off guard when he heard the news. He suppressed his trembling and asked

"Why did you do this all of a sudden?"

"We have just stabilized the situation, but now the factory is in turmoil again. What is the point of the Propaganda Committee coming to our industrial unit?"

Li Huaide sighed and said

"I asked my father-in-law at noon, and the current situation is unclear. This is arranged by our superiors, and we can only execute it."

"I am praying that the people who come over are easy to get along with. Otherwise, I can only think of a way. Renkang, the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill is not only a reflection of our political achievements, but also a place where big trees attract the wind. We have achieved some fruitful results in the factory recently, and it is time to reap the rewards."

Zhang Renkang was speechless for a moment. The commotion they had made some time ago seemed to be quite big. Although it attracted the recognition and praise of their superiors, it also attracted the attention of others. At this time, it was estimated that many people wanted to get a piece of the pie.

Especially the automobile manufacturing plant after the transformation in the northern suburbs has become the most eye-catching innovation in the current industrial system. This is the first model in China and abroad. For a country with a weak industrial foundation, it is a rare industrial product, which naturally aroused the interest of many people.

Zhang Renkang sighed and said

"Success and failure are all due to Xiao He. If we hadn't caused such a big commotion in the beginning, it's hard to say what the situation would be like now."

"That's fine. Our original intention was to provide ourselves with an insurance policy. Now, as long as we are safe and sound, we won't be caught by anyone, right?"

Li Huaide glanced at Zhang Renkang with a meaningful look, perhaps trying to see Zhang Renkang's true thoughts.

After a while, he said quietly

"Brother, if you really think so, I am a little disappointed."

"This isn't a child's game. Do you think we have any way out at this point?"

"We are just two small characters. If they want to do something to us, they have plenty of ways to do it. Why do they have to go through so much trouble?"

"This is coming after you and me, especially my father-in-law, who is probably their first target. As for you, I can't say, but you don't think that if something happens to me, the ones who come after me will be able to get along so well with you, right?"

Zhang Renkang smiled and said

"Secretary, what you said is that we prosper together and suffer together. I understand this principle. Besides, I can't get to where I am today without your cultivation. I am not the kind of ungrateful person."

Li Huaide nodded. He had never questioned this. It was not that Li Huaide trusted Zhang Renkang, but that their interests were the same. Zhang Renkang actually had no better choice.

Zhang Renkang asked with a serious look in his eyes.

"I wonder if the secretary knows something. Our factory manager Liu has been going to the beach compound quite frequently recently."

"I heard that it has something to do with grassroots production work these days?"

Li Huaide was stunned when he heard this. He really didn't pay much attention to this. In Li Huaide's opinion, Liu Xuan was already over 50 years old. Even if he made further progress, he would only be at the department or bureau level. Now with Liu Xuan's position as deputy factory director, as long as he retired steadily, he would also be treated as a department or bureau level official. Li Huaide couldn't understand why Liu Xuan still had to make such a fuss?

Li Huaide looked at Zhang Renkang seriously, shook his head, and said in a stiff tone

"I don't know. Are you saying that someone has contacted Liu Xuan?"

After many years of official career, Li Huaide immediately grasped the key point. Liu Xuan did not have that kind of backing. His contact with the Propaganda Committee could only be through someone's introduction or direct contact with the Propaganda Committee members.

Zhang Renkang said softly

"Someone saw Director Liu and Secretary Sun Liang of the Propaganda Committee talking to each other, and they were having a very pleasant conversation."

"And Director Liu's nephew spoke the truth after drinking. He said it's not certain who will be in charge of the factory in the future."

Li Huaide's face was livid. Liu Xuan was also promoted by him. As an old man who had come to rely on Li Huaide when he first arrived at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill as the director of the logistics department, he also promoted Liu Xuan to be the head of the publicity department after Li Huaide took office as the deputy director. It can be said that compared to Zhang Renkang, who was half a subordinate and half a partner, Liu Xuan was his confidant.

This confidant whom he had promoted actually betrayed him. This made Li Huaide furious and his face turned ugly.

Yes, Li Huaide did not doubt whether Zhang Renkang had lied to him. First of all, Zhang Renkang had no need to do so. Liu Xuan would never be Zhang Renkang's opponent. There was no point for Zhang Renkang to target him. Secondly, although he did not know much about Liu Xuan's abnormality during this period, there were traces. As soon as Zhang Renkang pointed it out, Li Huaide would be able to react to the truth.

Li Huaide said

"It seems that they are eyeing my position. They have gone to such great lengths to prepare in advance. I am curious, could it be that they have already taken advantage of me?"

Li Huaide reacted quickly. If someone just wanted to get a piece of the pie from the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, there was no need to spend so much effort to win over Liu Xuan. Now that Liu Xuan is the deputy director, they have to come up with something to satisfy Liu Xuan's appetite. At least they have to be the director to make Liu Xuan willing to cooperate.

By paying such a huge price, what he aimed at was not just a position of the Red Star Steel Mill Committee member. He was aiming to replace Li Huaide and take over the Red Star Steel Mill system. However, with such a big move, who was playing this chess game? Li Huaide was a little unpredictable for a while.

Logically speaking, his father-in-law was also being highly valued. The Zhao family was not powerless. If they wanted to snatch food from the Zhao family, this time they were probably coming with bad intentions, at least not inferior to the power of the Zhao family.

Zhang Renkang looked at Li Huaide, who was frowning and a little hesitant, and said

"Secretary, why don't you ask Minister Zhao?"

"I think Minister Zhao will be able to figure out what's going on this time."

Zhang Renkang originally thought that Liu Xuan wanted to fight for the right to speak in the factory and didn't take it seriously. Since he knew that Liu Xuan was in contact with the Propaganda Committee, he figured out that something was wrong. With the current situation of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, it would be of no value for the Propaganda Committee to target him. After all, Zhang Renkang was too young and there was no possibility of advancement in a short time. Targeting him would offend the military behind him. So the target of this layout could only be Li Huaide.

Therefore, he came to remind Li Huaide this time to see if Li Huaide knew about it. Judging from Li Huaide's reaction, Li Huaide and the Zhao family never realized that this was aimed at them.

Li Huaide, sweating profusely, looked at Zhang Renkang with some gratitude and nodded.

"Well, I'll call my father-in-law right now."

"Thanks to you this time, otherwise we wouldn't have reacted at all when they came knocking on our door."

Li Huaide was somewhat relieved. Fortunately, Zhang Renkang came to remind him. Otherwise, they had never thought that someone had set their sights on their Zhao family. If they did not react in time, their Zhao family would probably suffer a great loss.

I know you are a little confused, just a reminder, pay attention to the timeline, the internal shuffle is very fast and very confusing
