Golden Color Xiangjiang: A Young Man's Dream in a Siheyuan

"Xiao Zhou, it's like this. When I was in the Ministry of Industry, I heard about this. There was a capable person in the purchasing department of our Third Steel Rolling Mill. He solved the food problem of the entire steel rolling mill by himself.

You know, the current food problem is the primary task of solving production tasks. Now that I have taken office, I naturally want to understand the situation. "

Director Qian stared at Zhou Jin closely, as if trying to read something from his expression.

Zhou Jin's heart tightened. Sure enough, they came for the food. He carefully considered his words and said slowly, "Director, this is all thanks to Director Yang and Deputy Director Li. I am just a worker here.

The two leaders thought highly of me and were willing to give me this important task. Naturally, I also wanted to do my part for the steel mill, all for the sake of the workers in the factory to have something to eat. "

Zhou Jin knew that Director Qian asked him directly about the grain issue, which probably meant he already knew the secret. After all, this kind of thing could only fool ordinary people.

As for hiding it from those people above, it is definitely impossible.

However, Zhou Jin would never tell him the secret about food before he completely trusted him. This could be said to be his life-saving talisman.

Director Qian smiled, nodded slightly, and then said, "Really? Then it seems that the information I got is not true. I have to investigate again."

Zhou Jin didn't understand what Director Qian wanted to do, so he could only go along with what he said.

"Director, we are all human and to make mistakes is fine as long as they are not serious problems."

"Hehe." Director Qian laughed a few times, then changed the subject and talked to Zhou Jin about the situation inside the steel mill.

Ten minutes later, Zhou Jin left the factory director's office.

This meeting made Zhou Jin understand the saying that serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. Moreover, this meeting was with someone he did not know at all. This fear of the unknown was even more obvious.

Now Zhou Jin just wants to go home quickly and calm down in his wife's arms.

But things went against one's wishes. As soon as Zhou Jin walked out of the factory director's office, he was invited to Li Huaide's office by his secretary.

Wow, this also requires a seamless connection. Zhou Jin had no choice but to go along.

As soon as he entered the office, Li Huaide began to complain to Zhou Jin.

"Xiao Zhou, your brother Li has a really miserable life. I have worked hard for several years and made careful plans. I finally got this opportunity to take a step forward, but in the end, someone else took the spoils."

Zhou Jin also wanted to know about this situation. Logically speaking, it was he and his father-in-law who got rid of Director Yang and the big boss behind him, so naturally they were also prepared to let Li Huaide take over as the director.

But how could he be intercepted by someone else? This is what Zhou Jin couldn't understand.

"Brother Li, I'm also very curious about what you said. Although I don't know how you got Director Yang down, but since you took action, you must have been prepared to help you get promoted. How come you were intercepted by someone else?"

Li Huaide took a sip of tea and sighed deeply.

"Well, who says it's not true? My father-in-law and I have indeed made preparations long ago, just waiting for the result of Yang Weimin's handling to come out, and then help me take the position.

But who would have thought that problems would arise at this moment. A deputy minister said that too many things had happened at the steel mill recently, and even the factory director had been implicated, which showed that the problems inside the steel mill were very serious.

If we continue to promote the cadres of the original steel rolling mill to take over the position of factory director, it may not be able to change the current situation of the steel rolling mill. It is recommended to select a young talent from the ministry to take over this important task.

The most important thing is that this proposal was supported by the minister and several other deputy ministers. My father-in-law also knew that it was impossible to do so, so he had no choice but to agree. "

"Brother Li, this reason seems to indicate that there is indeed no problem in raising it, but no matter how I think about it, it seems a bit far-fetched."

“Well, who says it’s not true? When I heard my father-in-law say that, I felt that they were deliberately targeting me and didn’t want me to take over the position of factory director.

Later my father-in-law told me the real reason. It turned out that my actions against Yang Weimin were too obvious and attracted the minister's attention.

In addition, the big boss behind Yang Weimin had a conversation with the minister before leaving, which eliminated me from the list of candidates for the factory director position. We don’t know exactly what the big boss said to the minister, but it certainly wasn’t a good thing.”

After hearing this, Zhou Jin finally understood. To put it bluntly, the director and deputy director were fighting too fiercely. In order to balance it out, the ministry parachuted in a new director.

"Brother Li, if you say that, I can understand, but you don't have to worry, most people in the factory are still following you."

"Brother, I'm not worried about other people, but I'm most worried about you."

"Ah, me? Brother Li, what does this have to do with me? I am so happy to cooperate with you, so of course I support you."

"Hahaha, I feel relieved when you say that. You also know that in the current situation outside, food is the most important thing. As long as we have food in our hands, we will not worry about not having any credit.

Of course I know you support me, but to be honest, don't blame me for being suspicious. You still need to be cautious in the officialdom. I arranged for my secretary to look for you as soon as the meeting ended.

But you are still a step too late, as Director Qian got there first. If I am not mistaken, he is looking for you for food, right?"

"Yes, Brother Li, that's true, but I just played dumb and fooled them for the time being. I just don't know what will happen next, so I'll need Brother Li's protection when the time comes."

"Don't worry about this. As long as you are of one mind with me, the people behind me are not just for show. I will never let them touch a hair on your head."

"Hahaha, then I'd like to thank Brother Li first. It will be more troublesome in the future."

"Hahaha, we are all brothers, it would be awkward to say such things."

Afterwards, Zhou Jin chatted with Li Huaide about some other topics, including the recent production situation and technological improvements in the factory. Although Zhou Jin did not understand these things, he still knew how to play the supporting role.

They were discussing so heatedly that more than ten minutes had passed before they knew it.

Finally, Zhou Jin stood up and said goodbye, left the deputy director's office and returned to his own office.

As soon as he returned to the office, Zhou Jin felt upset.

He knew very well that the conflict between Li Huaide and Director Qian was absolutely irreconcilable, and he held the resources needed by both sides, and would inevitably become the focus of this conflict.

If I am not careful, I may be drawn into the vortex of political struggle and find it difficult to extricate myself. With my current strength and background, I am simply unable to deal with such a situation.
