Chapter 2331
Kong Weimin was so angry that his brain nerves were jumping; every time they jumped, he could clearly feel a pain like a needle prick. He never imagined that Mu Gaoyu would pull such a stunt on such an important occasion, really catching him off guard.
Kong Weimin also looked down upon Su Dali, Jin Feng, and Zhu Qingfa. And as for Hong Jinyan, the factory director, he was even more dissatisfied, and even felt disgusted by her. If there were a chance to topple Hong Jinyan, he would definitely take action without hesitation.
But the situation in the Woolen Mill was complex; Kong Weimin could see this much more clearly than Mu Gaoyu. As long as Shi Guoqiang and Hu Dajun remained as Secretary and Factory Director of the Woolen Mill for one day, there was no possibility of toppling Hong Jinyan.
Now, Zhou Andong had parachuted in, which made Kong Weimin, like most employees, look forward to Zhou Andong's arrival bringing new life to the Woolen Mill and letting this once-glorious enterprise glow with dazzling brilliance again.
And for eradicating Hong Jinyan, this borer, Kong Weimin didn't act in haste. He knew the timing wasn't right; if he acted rashly, not only would it be difficult to succeed, but it might also startle the snake and put himself in a passive position.
Because he felt that since Zhou Andong dared to wade into the muddy waters of the Woolen Mill, he must have conducted in-depth investigation and research on the situation of the Woolen Mill beforehand and must have had his own overall planning.
For example, acquiring the Woolen Mill's shares, auditing the finances, then establishing the Supervision and Inspection Office, adjusting the leadership's assigned work, and then forcefully taking Guan Mingli away for investigation, etc. —one could see from this series of actions that all of this must have been planned by Zhou Andong before he took office.
Then, could Zhou Andong have not noticed the problems existing in Jin Shiguang? Could he have not planned for them? Obviously, this was impossible. Therefore, regarding toppling Hong Jinyan, Kong Weimin appeared exceptionally calm and composed; he didn't rush to take action but was patiently waiting for an appropriate timing.
Because he didn't know Zhou Andong's layout; if he revealed his bottom card too early, once Zhou Andong failed, it would truly be a total loss, and it would be even more difficult to topple Hong Jinyan afterward.
So, he had to wait for the situation to become a little clearer, at least to know what cards Zhou Andong was holding. Even if there was only a fifty percent chance of success, he would follow and go all-in without hesitation.
As for whether the credit would be greatly discounted, he didn't care about that. As long as Hong Jinyan could be toppled, he could have zero credit for this matter.
However, man proposes, God disposes. Although Kong Weimin had calculated everything, there was still a variable he hadn't anticipated, and that was Mu Gaoyu. This sudden variable made the originally complex situation even more confusing.
And Zhou Andong's move to stop Mu Gaoyu's report made Kong Weimin even more convinced that his guess was completely correct. Undoubtedly, Zhou Andong had a clear plan for Jin Shiguang, and Mu Gaoyu's behavior would very likely disrupt Zhou Andong's layout. Because no matter whether Zhou Andong accepted Mu Gaoyu's report or stopped it, it would arouse the vigilance of Hong Jinyan and certain people.
But now that things had reached this point, he could only take it one step at a time. If it really didn't work, he would have to gamble and report his work to Zhou Andong in advance.
As for Jiao Liwei, the expression on his face hadn't changed at all. It was estimated that from the moment he saw Liu Lijuan enter Zhou Andong's office, he had already given up the idea of cooperating with Zhou Andong.
So by now, no matter what happened, it had nothing to do with him. Because he only had two choices: either cooperate with Shi Guoqiang and Hu Dajun, or bow down to Zhou Andong.
"Dong, dong, dong..."
Zhou Andong tapped the microphone, which sounded exceptionally abrupt in the quiet conference room, interrupting everyone's contemplation. They raised their heads one after another and looked at the podium.
Zhou Andong said with a smile: "Do you all feel that today's meeting is very sudden, and the time is very tight?"
The conference room remained deathly silent, with no one responding, but the eyes of everyone revealed a kind of default attitude. Did this even need to be asked?
Zhou Andong's eyes narrowed slightly, his smile very bright: "From the notification to the meeting time, there were only forty minutes. I can tell you very frankly that I did this on purpose."
No one felt surprised by this; wasn't this nonsense? From notification to meeting time, there were only forty minutes; who would believe it if it wasn't on purpose?
"Did you think I was full and had nothing to do, playing with you?" The smile on Zhou Andong's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a seriousness that couldn't be ignored: "I am letting you feel the urgency of time."
Zhou Andong took a deep drag of his cigarette, then slowly exhaled the smoke, his eyes becoming sharp: "Why do I want you to feel the urgency? Because the reform of the Woolen Mill is already imminent, and there isn't much time left for us."
Zhou Andong paused, then continued: "And there is the issue of school buildings. I believe everyone has heard of the importance I attach to education. The secondary school buildings in the factory office are seriously insufficient, and the middle and primary school buildings leak wind in winter and rain in summer. Such an environment has seriously affected the quality of teaching.
In addition, the staff dormitories have also become dilapidated houses, which could collapse at any time. Maybe after some rain, whose house will collapse and bury people inside.
I don't know what kind of sinister intentions some previous factory leaders had to be so indifferent to the children's future and the lives and safety of the staff. This is disregarding human life; this is a crime."
When words like "sinister intentions," "disregarding human life," and "crime" were spoken, the entire scene seemed to be pressed on the pause button, and everyone was dumbfounded, expressions of astonishment appearing on their faces.
Although Zhou Andong didn't name who these certain leaders were, everyone present knew in their hearts that these certain leaders undoubtedly referred to Shi Guoqiang and Hu Dajun.
Some people, after their initial astonishment, were panicked. Zhou Andong publicly accusing Shi Guoqiang and Hu Dajun of being indifferent to education and the lives and safety of the vast number of teachers and students, having sinister intentions, disregarding human life, and committing crimes—this was obviously not as simple as tearing off the mask, but an open declaration of war against Shi Guoqiang and Hu Dajun.
This move meant that Zhou Andong had likely completed his layout. How could this not make some people panic? Because they didn't know what cards Zhou Andong was holding, and their plan needed to rely on the Yin family to complete, which was uncontrollable.
"So!" Zhou Andong's voice was low, like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart, making people feel an unprecedented sense of oppression: "The matter of building teaching buildings and staff dormitories brooks no delay, and the time is also very tight."
As soon as the words fell, Zhou Andong took a thick stack of envelopes from his pocket, then raised them high and shook them in the air. The envelopes collided, making a crisp "tap, tap" sound, which appeared exceptionally clear in the quiet air.
"These are the report letters received by the Supervision and Inspection Office. After I read them carefully, they are simply shocking!"
Gu Bing glanced at the envelopes Zhou Andong was gripping tightly, the corner of his mouth twitching uncontrollably. This bastard, he really used one trick for everything. However, it had to be admitted that this trick was indeed very effective. Look at the old faces of some people below; they were all scared pale, damn it.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
Zhou Andong looked very angry, his hand slamming hard on the table, making bursts of dull, loud sounds. Every sound made some people's nerves jump, and their bodies would also tremble involuntarily.
"Do you know that these report letters in my hand are just a small part of the total?"
Zhou Andong didn't roar because of anger, but he himself was like a bomb filled with gunpowder, the pressure accumulating constantly, as if it could explode at any time. This was the most frightening thing.
"The corruption situation in our Woolen Mill is exceptionally severe and needs comprehensive repair and purification. Therefore, the anti-corruption work of the Woolen Mill has also reached a point where it brooks no delay, and the time is even more urgent."
