Chapter 2483
Old Song rolled his eyes and said unhappily: "Stop talking nonsense with me. If you hadn't threatened me with my granddaughter-in-law, do you think I would have bowed my head and admitted defeat to you, Old Huang the Evil?"
As he spoke, Old Song bit fiercely into the fried dough stick in his hand, as if that stick were Old Huang, feeling very relieved: "You intellectuals, your hearts are all rotten and dirty."
Old Huang wasn't angry either, looking at Old Song with a smile: "Old Song the Crooked, the granddaughter-in-law you've been thinking about is also an intellectual."
"That's different." Old Song's voice rose an octave, and he immediately retorted: "My granddaughter-in-law has a simple mind, is obedient and sensible; how can she be compared to you people."
Just then, three vans drove from afar and stopped at the main gate of the Woolen Mill. Immediately after, more than twenty old men and women got off the vans. Then these old men and women pulled up a banner at the main gate of the Woolen Mill, which read: Woolen Mill Factory Director Zhou Andong step down; he acts against the trend, appoints people by favoritism, and runs a one-man show, causing complaints among leading cadres and 40,000 employees...
This scene immediately attracted everyone's attention, including the employees of the Woolen Mill and people passing by the Woolen Mill, who stopped one after another, looking curiously. The originally noisy street suddenly quieted down, as if time had stopped, but then it became noisy again, and discussions rose one after another.
"What are these old guys doing?"
"Isn't it written on the banner? They want to drive Zhou Andong to step down."
"Is what's written on the banner true?"
"Who knows? Anyway, our factory director's factory director is just like this, as if the factory is his private property, and he's the only one who has the final say."
"Who doesn't want to hold all the power when they are an official? Anyway, if it were me, I would definitely be like this too."
"It is said that Zhou Andong came to the Woolen Mill to carry out reforms, just like the Jiangzhou Winery back then. I think if he doesn't hold all the power and doesn't run a one-man show, wanting to reform is just a dream."
"Look at the Woolen Mill employees, why don't they have any reaction?"
"If this happened in our factory, what reaction do you think we employees would have?"
"Of course, it would be to support these old men and drive the factory director to step down."
"That's how it's said, but how can that old bastard Liu Defu compare to Zhou Andong? To put it another way, if Zhou Andong were our factory director and there really were such a group of old guys making trouble, would you really want to help them drive Zhou Andong away?"
"How is that possible? If Zhou Andong were our factory director, I would immediately set up a memorial tablet for him and kowtow and offer incense to him every day. If these old guys really made trouble, that would be cutting off my own financial path, and I would definitely let these old things go to the afterlife ahead of time."
"That's it. Look at the Woolen Mill employees; they are still standing there watching the fun. I doubt they would really help these old things make trouble and drive Zhou Andong to step down."
Such discussions were everywhere. No one noticed that Zhou Andong, wearing a hat and sunglasses, was mixed in the crowd. And Hu Guanghui and Wang Jianmin stood beside Zhou Andong, looking at the group of old things and the words on the banner, their old faces as black as if they had been wiped with the bottom of a pot.
At this time, a small old man, seeing so many people watching, waved his arms excitedly and kept shouting: "Comrades, during his tenure, Woolen Mill Factory Director Zhou Andong has completely deviated from normal management principles and methods and adopted a series of perverse actions."
With the old thing's shouting, more and more people gathered around. Seeing this, the old man became even more excited, his voice becoming more high-pitched: "Zhou Andong serving as factory director is not only perverse; he doesn't value employee rights at all, and even condones some people suppressing dissidents, leading to everyone in the leadership layer feeling insecure, no one daring to speak, and the order in the factory being turned into a mess by him."
The old thing became more excited the more he spoke, his face turning red, and he was so angry that he clapped his hands and stomped his feet: "He also runs a one-man show, imposing his own opinions and decisions on other leading cadres, completely ignoring everyone's opinions and suggestions. This arbitrary approach has made the dissatisfaction of leading cadres with him increasingly serious, their complaints about him increasingly numerous, and their questioning of his leadership ability increasingly severe."
"Yes, how can a leader like Zhou Andong lead our factory to develop? He must step down."
"Zhou Andong step down!"
"Zhou Andong step down!"
"Zhou Andong step down!"
"……"
"Fuck!" Whispered discussions came from the crowd: "Did the Woolen Mill employees get water in their brains? They actually want to drive Zhou Andong to step down."
"Why do I feel something is a bit wrong?"
"Yes, I also feel it; there is indeed something not quite right."
Zhou Andong leaned his body, leaned against Wang Jianmin's ear, and whispered: "Leader, you see, I'm really not popular at all. So, I'd better take this opportunity to get lost.
As for the Woolen Mill reform, our great China has a vast territory and abundant resources, and there are countless capable people. There are countless people with more ability and courage than me, Zhou Andong. There's really no need to hang yourself on my tree, don't you think?"
Wang Jianmin's mouth twitched violently: "The person who appointed you as Woolen Mill factory director isn't me. If you are uncomfortable and have any grievances, go to the central authorities to find the leaders. What's the use of saying these things to me? Do you think your appointment and removal are up to me?"
Zhou Andong leaned toward Hu Guanghui again, and before he could speak, he heard Hu Guanghui say: "It's no use saying it to me either. Except for the Woolen Mill reform work, go find the central leaders for other things."
Zhou Andong said with great emotion: "Two leaders, the stunt of kicking the ball is really perfected by you two. This subordinate admires you."
Hu Guanghui snorted, and just as he was about to say something, he heard the old man start his speech again: "Comrades, we retired old cadres have devoted our whole lives to the Woolen Mill and dedicated our youth and sweat to this place.
Now, seeing Zhou Andong turn the Woolen Mill into such a mess, we old guys can't sleep all night, filled with worry and anxiety, and even sleeping pills don't work.
Finally, we old guys who have retired can no longer endure this situation and decided to stand up and petition for the 40,000 employees. We came here to make Zhou Andong step down and return the Woolen Mill to a clean, honest, and upright environment."
The old thing was talking with snot and tears, which could be described as eloquent and endless, splashing all kinds of dirty water on Zhou Andong's head, but he didn't mention Zhou Andong's corruption and bribery.
It is estimated that they also know very well that even if they say Zhou Andong is corrupt and takes bribes, no one will believe it, and instead, they will fall into a passive situation themselves. After all, Zhou Andong is the richest man and has donated nearly 10 billion to the country. The money leaking from his fingers is estimated to be enough to buy the Woolen Mill, so how could he take a fancy to that little bit of corruption money?
Just then, another old man suddenly raised his fist and shouted loudly: "We have dedicated our whole lives, and even our children are still working in the Woolen Mill, just for the Woolen Mill to prosper and develop.
But now, the Woolen Mill has encountered an unprecedented huge crisis and is at a critical moment of life and death. We old cadres absolutely cannot sit idly by and must stand up to protect the Woolen Mill and absolutely cannot let people with crooked hearts continue to serve as factory director."
