"Not only does he have other women outside, but also... and..." The daughter burst into tears and could not speak. The old man looked at his daughter's painful appearance and his heart was filled with regret and remorse.

Unbelievably, Li Xinmin had an affair with a woman in a hidden corner of the steel mill.

Love, and was caught red-handed!

“This makes me feel so ashamed!”

"Father," she cried with tears in her eyes, "you must do justice for me!"

The old man looked at his daughter who was in great pain, and felt a mixture of anger and disappointment. Li Xinmin, the son-in-law he had carefully selected and had high hopes for, now disappointed him so much.

He considered that his daughter was the only daughter in the family and might be wronged if she married into a powerful family. Therefore, after careful consideration, he chose Li Xinmin as his son-in-law. Over the years, he also cultivated Li Xinmin and helped him rise to the top. In his forties, he became the deputy director of the steel mill.

In addition, his daughter was ill and had difficulty in giving birth, which made the old man feel even more guilty towards Li Xinmin. He originally planned to help Li Xinmin when he was about to retire and let him take over as the head of the steel mill.

However, at this critical juncture, Li Xinmin dealt him such a heavy blow!

"Li Xinmin," the old man sighed, "I originally thought I could help you go further, but who would have thought..."

"He is so ungrateful!"

Hearing her father's sigh, Li Xinmin's wife burst into tears.

"Father, we must not let him go!"

The father and daughter were in sync with each other, and the old man frowned and finally made up his mind.

"I will contact the steel mill and ask Li Xinmin to sever ties with you and leave with nothing!"

"From now on, he will have nothing to do with our family!"

In the director's office of the steel mill, Yang Ming said quietly: "It seems that the backers behind Li Xinmin have chosen to abandon him."

After a few days, he thought that Li Xinmin's father-in-law would take some action, and he was even prepared to deal with the counterattack. However, to his surprise, whether it was Li Xinmin's wife secretly manipulating it or they were really disappointed with Li Xinmin, no one stood up to defend him in the end.

"This is a relief," Factory Director Yang also sighed, "What Li Xinmin did has crossed the bottom line and cannot be undone."

"But in this case, the position of the factory director..." Factory Director Yang looked at Yang Ming, feeling a little regretful. Although Yang Ming had contributed a lot to the steel mill over the years, he also understood that this position was not something that could be easily obtained through hard work alone.

However, Yang Ming is not yet thirty years old.

For such a young man, being the director of a branch factory with hundreds of employees under the steel mill may be acceptable. However, when it comes to the huge steel mill with tens of thousands of employees, Yang Ming being promoted to deputy director is an anomaly. If he is further promoted to the director in charge of the entire factory, he may become the youngest twelfth-level cadre since the founding of the People's Republic of China. This thought flashed through Deputy Director Yang's mind, and was immediately suppressed by reason.

Although Deputy Director Yang also hoped that Yang Ming would take over as the new director after he left the steel mill, reality told him that this was almost an unattainable dream. The most likely outcome would be that an experienced director would be transferred from outside.

Yang Ming, of course, was unaware of Deputy Director Yang's careful considerations. He had no worries in his heart. Since Deputy Director Li left, he was not worried about the emergence of new competitors.

Time flies, and another week has passed quietly.

"Deputy Director, your relative is looking for you. The call is from Jichun."

"From Jichun?" Yang Ming's heart moved slightly, and his aunt Li Suhua's family immediately emerged in his mind, namely "The World

He was curious whether the call came from Li Suhua herself or from another member of the family.

Since receiving Li Suhua's letter last time, Yang Ming has sent money and daily necessities to her home. They even exchanged greetings through letters during the Spring Festival.

Soon, Yang Ming rushed to the switchboard and called back the number provided.

"Hello, is this Yang Ming?" A middle-aged female voice came from the other end of the phone. Yang Ming immediately recognized that it was his aunt Li Suhua.

"It's me, aunt."

"Child, you must have suffered a lot while working outside these years. Your mother passed away early, and we are in Jichun, so we can't be with you all the time." Li Suhua's voice was choked with sobs.

Yang Ming hurriedly comforted her until another young woman's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Mom, you're always like this, chatting about these trivial things with my cousin. It's so hard to get through on the phone."

"Okay, okay, let me talk to my cousin." Li Suhua then handed the phone to her daughter.

"Yang Ming, I'm your cousin Zhou Rong, I want to talk to you." The next second, a young woman's energetic voice came over the phone...

"Hello, Rongrong." Yang Ming responded with a smile.

"Thank you for sending us the things. We have received them all and are really grateful to you." Zhou Rong's voice was full of gratitude.

Oh, by the way, sister, how is your career in the city now? I heard that life there is colorful and much more prosperous than ours, right? Have you encountered any new things or made any new friends?

On the other end of the phone, Zhou Rong's questions were like a series of stars, shining brightly, full of curiosity and expectation.

Yang Ming was on the other end of the phone, smiling, answering Zhou Rong's questions one by one, and describing to her in detail the daily life and work scenes of the city.

A warm feeling surged in his heart, which was the warmth brought by the long-lost family affection.

As the call was about to end, Zhou Rong's voice sounded a little hesitant: Brother, I have a little idea.

During the summer vacation, I want to go to Sijiucheng with some friends. Will it be inconvenient for you?

In that era, traveling was not easy. In addition to letters of introduction, accommodation and meals required proof of identity and national food coupons.

But Yang Ming responded without hesitation: Of course, before you come, remember to write me a letter or call this number.

Afterwards, the call was transferred to Li Suhua, who said apologetically: Yang Ming, Zhou Rong is sometimes willful. If she causes you trouble, you must tell me and I will stop her.

Auntie, please don't say that. Yang Ming comforted her, maybe in the future, I will have the opportunity to visit you in Guangzi Pian.

In addition to family affection, Yang Ming has another wish in his heart - he wants to help the ill-fated heroine Zheng Juan.
