Chapter 2550

Upon hearing Huang Youmin's words, Liu Daqiang's heart felt as if it had been suddenly gripped tight by an invisible giant hand, then plummeted sharply, falling straight to the bottom of a valley.

Huang Youmin's words were very blunt and also incomparably realistic. Take their factory, for example: once the factory director makes a decision on a matter and has already begun implementation, if a deputy director were to intervene at this point and stir up trouble, that would be courting death.

Of course, under normal circumstances, even if a deputy director and the director were at odds, they wouldn't do such a thing. Even if this deputy director had a strong background, exceptional ability, and did not fear the director, they absolutely would not act this way. Because such people, whether in terms of IQ or EQ, are not lacking. They know very well in their hearts what serious consequences doing so would bring.

For the director to decide on a matter and have already begun implementation means that at the very beginning, the deputy director expressed support. However, in the process of implementation, if they were to suddenly play little tricks and secretly obstruct, the problem here would be massive.

First, this kind of behavior would certainly bring a certain amount of loss to the enterprise, though this point is still manageable. More crucially, it would leave the higher-level leadership with an impression of being ideologically immature and having an unsolid work style.

And once such an impression is formed, it will have a huge negative impact on the deputy director's future career development. Because, no matter who the leader is, they would not be willing to promote a subordinate who pays lip service while secretly playing little tricks. Unless, your direct superior is your own father.

Therefore, even if there is a conflict between the deputy director and the director, they would express clear opposition at the very beginning, rather than waiting until the matter has already been passed and implementation has begun to come and find trouble. This approach is less about striking at an opponent and more about cutting off one's own path forward.

"However!" Just as Liu Daqiang was burning with anxiety and racking his brains thinking about how to persuade Huang Youmin, he suddenly heard Huang Youmin speak again: "I can communicate with our bureau chief to see if it's possible to revoke the arrest warrant. But I must state that I cannot guarantee the result will be what you want; I can only say I will try my best."

Hearing this, a spark of hope suddenly ignited in Liu Daqiang's heart. Although Huang Youmin said he dared not guarantee the final result and was only going to try, since he had said so, it meant there was still a considerable possibility; otherwise, he would have definitely refused directly.

"Director Huang, I really don't know how to thank you enough." Liu Daqiang hurriedly stood up and bowed in thanks, keeping his posture very low: "I won't disturb your meal any longer; there are some things at home, so I'll be heading back first."

Seeing this, Huang Youmin hurriedly and politely tried to keep him: "Liu Ke, look at what you're saying; since you've already come, how can you just leave? Sit down and have a couple of drinks with me."

"No, no!" Liu Daqiang waved his hand in polite refusal: "I really have things at home that I can't delay. How about this: when Sunday comes, I'll play host and invite you for a drink; I'll definitely accompany you for a good one, and we won't stop until we're drunk!"

A smile appeared on Huang Youmin's face: "Alright, then it's settled; when Sunday comes, we must have a good few drinks!"

"No problem, then I'll be going first. Director Huang, please stay, no need to see me out." Having said that, Liu Daqiang turned and left.

"Liu Ke, don't be in such a rush to leave; take back the things you brought." Huang Youmin bent down and casually picked up the black bag that had been placed next to the coffee table.

Seeing this, Liu Daqiang hurriedly explained: "Director Huang, what are you doing? These are just two boxes of tea and two bottles of liquor; they are all things I drink myself on a daily basis, not anything valuable, so please don't stand on ceremony with me, just keep them and drink them slowly."

Huang Youmin waved his hand and said with a serious face: "Liu Ke, with the relationship between us, is there a need for this? I'm not lacking these few things from you, hurry up and take them back."

"Director Huang, please don't decline, these really aren't worth much." As Liu Daqiang spoke, his feet didn't stop, and he stepped toward the door. Regardless of whether Huang Youmin was being truly polite or falsely polite, if he had truly believed it and taken the things back, he would have been a real fool.

Seeing this, Huang Youmin hurriedly carried the black bag and chased him to the door, watching Liu Daqiang walk quickly downstairs, and sighed helplessly: "Liu Ke, you really are..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Liu Daqiang's figure had already disappeared around the corner of the stairwell. The corners of Huang Youmin's mouth lifted slightly, revealing a faint, imperceptible smile.

Immediately after, only a "bang" was heard as Huang Youmin forcefully closed the door. Then, he turned around, took a step toward the sofa, and placed the bag he was carrying onto the coffee table.

Next, Huang Youmin unzipped the bag and first took out two boxes of tea; the packaging looked very exquisite, clearly top-tier goods. He set the tea aside and then took out the two bottles of liquor.

Liu Qing glanced at the tea and liquor and said with great disdain: "Asking for help and only bringing two boxes of crappy tea and liquor; I've never seen anyone so stingy."

Huang Youmin also frowned; he didn't believe Liu Daqiang had such a small perspective, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to become a section chief. Sure enough, he noticed there seemed to be something else in the lining of the bag.

So he reached out and felt around, then took out a thick stack of hundred-yuan bills, counting them to find exactly five thousand. A satisfied smile immediately bloomed on this guy's face.

"This Liu Daqiang is still quite sensible." Huang Youmin took the money to the dining room, pushed the chair back, sat down, and then placed the money in his hand in front of Liu Qing: "Put it away."

The reason he agreed to Liu Daqiang was actually very simple. Just before he got off work today, more than a dozen people had found him, also regarding the matter of revoking the arrest warrant, and he simply couldn't refuse these people's requests.

Because for those dozen or so people who had purchased the wool factory employee quotas, he, Huang Youmin, had been the middleman for the transaction and had taken quite a few benefits. Now that a problem had arisen, they were definitely going to find him to resolve it.

If he refused to help, then those dozen or so people would definitely be unhappy. Once they made a scene, he definitely wouldn't have a good outcome. Therefore, regardless of whether Huang Youmin was willing in his heart, he could only bite the bullet and agree.

Therefore, he did not refuse Liu Daqiang's request. Anyway, herding one sheep is herding, and herding a flock is also herding; there was no need to turn away someone bringing gifts. Look, isn't this five thousand yuan in the pocket now?

As for communicating with the bureau chief, he was actually just saying that; he wasn't that stupid. The bureau chief was cooperating with the wool factory to recover the embezzled salaries; if they were all recovered, this would be Zhou Andong's political achievement, and their bureau chief would naturally get a share, so he wasn't going to go looking for bad luck.

Therefore, what he was relying on were Wang Wentian, Lian Kai, and Shen Weiming. As the saying goes, the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it; as long as the wool factory stopped pursuing it, the arrest warrant would naturally be revoked.

And Wang Wentian, Lian Kai, and Shen Weiming were Zhou Andong's bodyguards, and also the biggest bargaining chip in his hand. He could completely make a deal with Zhou Andong: as long as Zhou Andong stopped pursuing the issue of Liu Daqiang's son and the other dozen or so people embezzling salaries, and revoked the arrest warrant, he would release the three of them.

According to normal logic, even if this money were recovered, it would be impossible to put it into one's own pocket. Therefore, no matter who it was, they would agree to this deal of Huang Youmin's. After all, what was being requested in exchange was only a dozen or so people, which wouldn't affect the overall situation.

It's just, can Zhou Andong's style of doing things be analyzed with normal logic? Only his former opponents know best just how wicked this guy is. And compared to those former opponents of Zhou Andong, Huang Youmin is the lowest-ranked one, and presumably the most foolish one as well.
