Not long after, Kong Weimin hurried to the office. Just a moment ago, he caught a glimpse of Shao Yan and the others downstairs, their faces pale, their mental state extremely poor, as if their strength had been drained, following dejectedly behind the several comrades from the discipline inspection commission. This scene made a trace of doubt and speculation arise in Kong Weimin's heart.

However, perhaps to preserve the last bit of face for Shao Yan and the others, the attitude of those comrades from the discipline inspection commission towards them was still considered polite. Because of this, although Kong Weimin had doubts in his heart, he didn't think too deeply.

"Factory Director, Secretary!" As soon as Kong Weimin walked into the office, his eyes quickly scanned the room, and he instantly noticed Hong Jinyan's face, which was so gloomy it could drip water. Then the woman looked at him again, her eyes terrifyingly sinister.

In stark contrast, although Chu Hongjun and Chen Min tried hard to hide it, the irrepressible joy still leaked from their faces.

"You're here!" Gu Bing nodded slightly and said with a solemn face: "Comrade Zhang Qun has had some problems. After careful consideration by me and the factory director, we decided that you will temporarily serve as deputy factory director and take over the work under Comrade Zhang Qun's charge."

Kong Weimin was shocked when he heard this. The image of Shao Yan and the others' listlessness flashed through his mind, and then he thoughtfully glanced at Chu Hongjun, Chen Min, and Hong Jinyan. Suddenly, everything became clear.

No wonder Hong Jinyan's face was so gloomy, and the look in her eyes when she looked at him was so terrifying, as if she wanted to swallow him alive. It turned out that Chu Hongjun and Chen Min were obviously designated as acting deputy factory directors, taking over the work under Shao Yan and Dong Dashan's charge.

According to such an arrangement, it should be Hong Jinyan taking over the work under Zhang Qun's charge, and such an arrangement would be the most reasonable. Because Hong Jinyan herself was a member of the factory Party committee and a member of the factory leadership team, and in terms of power, she was much greater than Chu Hongjun and Chen Min.

But the secretary and the factory director bypassed Hong Jinyan and promoted him directly. It's no wonder Hong Jinyan's mood was good. However, what puzzled him was why the secretary and the factory director would risk offending Hong Jinyan to promote him by leapfrogging?

Even if the leaders appreciated him as a talent and knew his outstanding ability and intended to promote him, they should do it step by step, in an orderly manner. It was absolutely impossible to promote him by leapfrogging in such a way that defied the world.

At this time, a thought suddenly appeared in his mind. If there was a reason for the secretary and the factory director to promote him by leapfrogging, it was that the leaders already knew about the problems Hong Jinyan had.

Therefore, they would bypass Hong Jinyan without hesitation and turn to promote him by leapfrogging. If this were true, then an in-depth investigation into Hong Jinyan would likely be launched next.

These thoughts just flashed through Kong Weimin's mind. Everyone thought he was shocked by this sudden good thing, so he stood there stunned for a moment, then quickly came back to his senses and said in a calm and firm tone.

"Secretary, Factory Director, thank you very much for your recognition of my ability. I will definitely persist in learning, constantly improve myself, demand higher standards of myself, do my work more excellently, never fail the leaders' expectations of me, and will definitely satisfy the employees."

Hong Jinyan looked at Kong Weimin with eyes so cold they could freeze a person to death. Kong Weimin had a smile on his face all along and didn't care at all about Hong Jinyan's murderous look.

Because he knew very well in his heart that such an opportunity would definitely only happen once in his life. If he refused, he would really be the biggest idiot in the world.

"Okay!" Zhou Andong looked at Kong Weimin, Chu Hongjun, and Chen Min: "You go back and arrange your work first, and you can come over tomorrow."

"Okay!" The three answered at the same time, then Chu Hongjun said: "Secretary, Factory Director, then we'll go first."

"Go!" Zhou Andong nodded.

"Wait!" Hong Jinyan shouted in a cold voice, her eyes fixed on Gu Bing and Zhou Andong, her tone unusually stiff, and she said in an unquestionable tone: "Secretary, Factory Director, I have no opinion on Chu Hongjun and Chen Min acting as deputy factory directors. However, Kong Weimin's qualifications are not enough, and his level is not enough. Your leapfrog promotion of him is completely a violation of regulations. I firmly oppose it!"

Hong Jinyan's voice echoed in the office, carrying a strong sense of dissatisfaction and anger.

"You oppose it!" Zhou Andong always had a faint smile on his face. He looked at Hong Jinyan and said unhurriedly: "Your opposition is invalid."

Hong Jinyan's fat face became distorted with anger, and the flesh on her face looked ferocious and terrifying. Things had reached this point, and it was impossible for her to compromise.

"Factory Director, if you insist on violating regulations to promote Kong Weimin, then I will definitely report this situation to the higher-level leaders!"

Zhou Andong nodded, his smile undiminished: "That's fine. I sincerely wish you success in removing me as factory director, Comrade Hong Jinyan."

After speaking, Zhou Andong directly ignored Hong Jinyan and turned to Kong Weimin, Chu Hongjun, and Chen Min, who were still standing at the door and hadn't left: "You go back first."

Kong Weimin took a deep look at Hong Jinyan, the coldness in his eyes reaching the bottom, as if he could penetrate Hong Jinyan's soul. However, no one noticed this scene.

Kong Weimin turned around, the expression on his face returned to normal instantly, and he said with a smile to Chu Hongjun and Chen Min: "Factory Director Chu, Factory Director Chen, let's go."

After speaking, Kong Weimin greeted Zhou Andong and Gu Bing again with Chu Hongjun and Chen Min, and then turned and left.

Hong Jinyan, however, could not remain calm. Her complexion turned from black to green in an instant, and finally turned into a blue-purple. She widened her eyes, stared fixedly at Kong Weimin's departing back, and said with a face full of anger.

"Gu Shuji, Factory Director Zhou, you are abusing your power and violating regulations to promote cadres who do not meet the promotion conditions. I will definitely report you to the higher-level departments!"

Hong Jinyan's voice carried obvious anger and unwillingness. She had always looked down on Kong Weimin. What top student from a famous university? That was all bullshit. Therefore, she had been suppressing Kong Weimin and tried to remove him many times, but failed.

The main reason was that the leader who recruited Kong Weimin valued him extremely highly, believing that Kong Weimin had education and ability, and his potential was very great. He possessed outstanding ability and potential and was very worth cultivating, which made Hong Jinyan's disgust for Kong Weimin deepen.

Now, seeing someone she hated so much, someone she had always stepped under her feet, suddenly turn into a factory leader and be on an equal footing with her, Hong Jinyan's resentment was simply indescribable. She couldn't accept such a fact at all, so she lost her mind.

Gu Bing paced slowly, walked to Hong Jinyan step by step, then stopped, stared straight at her, and a smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.

"Factory Director Hong!" Gu Bing's voice was neither high nor low, but carried a sense of oppression that made people unable to ignore: "Are you used to being a local emperor in Jinshiguang? Or is it that Factory Director Zhou and my temper are too good, giving you an illusion that you can threaten us at will?"

Looking at Gu Bing's smiling appearance, Hong Jinyan's body couldn't help but tremble. The eyes that were originally blurred by anger suddenly became clear the moment she met Gu Bing's eyes.

Hong Jinyan suddenly felt some regret. She was really too impulsive. Sun Baocun had been dug into a hole and buried by Gu Bing and Zhou Andong. It was unwise for her to be stupid enough to go against them at this time.

Especially when she thought of the fate of Shao Yan and the others, the eyes blinded by anger became clearer at this moment. However, the words had already been spoken, like spilled water, and could never be taken back.

Hong Jinyan took a secret breath. She had completely offended Gu Bing and Zhou Andong this time. I'm afraid they would soon take action against her. She couldn't sit and wait for death.

"I'm not feeling well, and Jinshiguang has many important things that need me to handle, so I'll go back first." Hong Jinyan found a step for herself to go down, then turned and left without hesitation, and her steps were very fast.

Ever since Zhou Andong took office, she had been on guard. In order to avoid being caught by Zhou Andong, she began to clean up those things that couldn't see the light. But there were still some loose ends that hadn't been resolved, and she had to speed up.

Because she offended Gu Bing and Zhou Andong, the days ahead were likely not to be peaceful, and they were very likely to take action against her. Therefore, she had to clean up these remaining loose ends as soon as possible to avoid future trouble.

Zhou Andong snorted, looked at the people still standing at the office door and in the corridor, and said: "I'll remind you here that the anti-corruption work will become the top priority next.

Therefore, whoever of you took what you shouldn't have taken, immediately find Gu Shuji and me to confess. I guarantee that I will let bygones be bygones. If you don't come to find Gu Shuji and me, once you are caught, one counts as one, and all will be sent to prison."

Some people's faces turned pale instantly. As the saying goes, if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked. Shi Guoqiang and Hu Dajun, the two helmsmen, were not clean, so how could the people below be clean? Just look at Shao Yan and the others to know that the roots of the Woolen Mill were rotten.

"Alright!" Zhou Andong waved his hand: "Go do what you should do."

Jiao Liwei and Tong Yuanxi did not enter the office, but stood in the corridor all the time. When Sun Baocun was forced into a corner by Gu Bing and had to compromise and take Shao Yan and the others away, a trace of unease appeared on Tong Yuanxi's face.

And Jiao Liwei on the side was also lost in thought, his brows tightly furrowed, not knowing what he was thinking. It wasn't until Zhou Andong said "go do what you should do" that he came back to his senses, then glanced at Zhou Andong and left with Tong Yuanxi.

Jiao Liwei felt it was time to talk to Zhou Andong. Waiting any longer made no sense. However, before talking to Zhou Andong, he had to communicate with his father-in-law first, tell his father-in-law what happened today, and see what his father-in-law's opinion was.

After all, what happened today was too shocking. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it no matter what. Especially since it involved Sun Baocun, who was his father-in-law's competitor, so he had to be cautious.

In the blink of an eye, everyone in the corridor was gone. Only Wu Hongkang and Zhang Shenghui walked into the office, then shook hands with Liu Lijuan and Dai Weimin to greet them.

"Factory Director Liu, hello!"

"Factory Director Dai, hello!"

"Factory Director Wu, hello!"

"Factory Director Zhang, hello!"

"Everyone is our own people, no need to be so polite." Zhou Andong said with a smile, then looked at Wu Hongkang and Zhang Shenghui: "How is it, is today's big drama exciting?"

Zhang Shenghui immediately gave a thumbs up and exclaimed: "Exciting, too exciting. In my life, I have experienced everything. It can be said that today's big drama is enough for me to recall for a lifetime."

Wu Hongkang nodded repeatedly and echoed: "Old Zhou, I know you are bold, but I didn't expect you to be this bold. You even dared to pit Sun Baocun. You have to be careful."

"Sun Baocun is not a broad-minded person. You calculated him like this today and beat his face swollen. He will definitely not let it go and will definitely look for opportunities to retaliate against you."

Zhang Shenghui shook his head slightly and said with some worry: "Old Zhou, your gambling nature is too big. Didn't you ever think about what to do if you lose?"

"Lose?" Zhou Andong laughed and said: "A wise man bets on the righteousness of heaven and earth, a fool bets on insatiable desires."

As he spoke, Zhou Andong raised his hand and pointed to his head: "How could a smart person like me lose?"

Zhang Shenghui sneered: "Does what you mean is that Sun Baocun is very stupid?"

"Isn't Sun Baocun stupid?" Zhou Andong looked at Zhang Shenghui and said softly: "If he weren't stupid, how could he run to the Woolen Mill to wade into muddy water?"
