Chapter 2566: Worthy of Being the Office Director

Upon hearing this, Yu Mingli's eyelids twitched. He never imagined that these teachers had come for this matter; the trouble was now massive.

"Principal Yan!" Yu Mingli said, carefully choosing his words: "I have also heard about the anti-corruption and integrity meeting that Factory Director Zhou convened two days ago. I have heard a little about the illegal and disciplinary issues of Shi Guoqiang and Hu Dajun, but I am not clear on the specifics."

"However, regardless of whether I am clear on the matter, one point cannot be changed. That is, since you have already handed the evidence of Shi Guoqiang and Hu Dajun's illegal and disciplinary actions to Secretary Sun, what happens next is a matter for the Discipline Inspection Commission. Mayor Hu cannot casually interfere with the Commission's handling of cases."

Having said this, Yu Mingli's tone became increasingly gentle, and a wry smile even appeared on his face: "Therefore, the place you should have gone to is the Discipline Inspection Commission, not the Municipal Government. Coming here is a mistake."

Yan Minru didn't care about any of this. The factory director told them to come here, so they came; it absolutely couldn't be wrong: "Director Yu, look, since we are already here, just let us go in and see the leadership."

Liu Bo chimed in: "That's right, Director Yu. Since we are already here, if we don't see the leadership, how can we just go back like this?"

Yu Mingli was about to say something else when he heard a voice from behind him: "Director Yu, hand them over to me."

Yu Mingli turned around and discovered it was actually Zhou Andong. His heart leaped with joy, and the expression on his face visibly relaxed.

"Oh my!" Yu Mingli shook hands with Zhou Andong with a face full of smiles. Seeing Zhou Andong at this moment was absolutely a godsend: "Factory Director Zhou, I didn't expect you to be here too. Perfect, hurry up and persuade the three principals and all the teachers to go back. Blocking the main gate like this has a very bad influence."

"The influence is indeed bad!" Zhou Andong nodded and said with a smile: "But it's not as bad as Sun Baocun shielding Shi Guoqiang and Hu Dajun."

Yu Mingli was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Zhou Andong to say something so damaging to unity. His complexion changed instantly: "Factory Director Zhou, you..."

"Director Yu, don't be angry, I was just cracking a little joke with you!" Zhou Andong said cheerfully: "I was just reporting work to Mayor Wang. Regarding the situation here, the leadership is already aware, so he asked me to bring people in to see him."

"Ah?"

This once again exceeded Yu Mingli's expectations. Mayor Wang certainly couldn't know what these people's demands were; otherwise, how could he possibly take this big trouble upon himself?

"Don't 'ah' anymore!" Zhou Andong checked his watch. He still had to go to the Municipal Bureau and didn't have time to delay here: "If you have any doubts, or don't believe my words, you can go ask Mayor Wang."

Yu Mingli cursed fiercely in his heart. This Zhou Andong was indeed just as rumored; he really wasn't a decent person. To actually say I was questioning Mayor Wang in front of so many people, and even telling me to go verify it with the Mayor—does he think I've sat in this Office Director's chair for too long and too comfortably?

"Factory Director Zhou, you are joking again." The smile on Yu Mingli's face was like a chrysanthemum in full bloom in spring, dazzling enough to make one dizzy: "How would I dare to question you? And how could I possibly not believe you?"

This guy was worthy of being an Office Director; his reaction was swift. He immediately took off the noose Zhou Andong had placed around his neck.

Zhou Andong revealed a faint smile and didn't waste any more breath. He turned to the faculty and staff and said: "Teachers, Director Yu is absolutely correct; us blocking the Municipal Government gate really has a bad influence."

"Besides, there's no need to stand here in the heat. Everyone, find a cool place to wait first. I will take Principal Yan, Principal Liu, and Principal Ma in to see the leadership."

"Okay!" A young man agreed and then shouted: "Let's go, let's go wait under the shade of the trees over there and wait for the factory director and principals to come out."

"Let's go too." Zhou Andong greeted the three principals and then said very politely to Yu Mingli: "Director Yu, you go first."

Yu Mingli made a gesture of invitation and said with a smile: "Has Factory Director Zhou forgotten? This is my territory. You are the guest; please, you go first."

Zhou Andong and Yu Mingli were of equal rank, but from the perspective of power, there was a clear gap between the two. Zhou Andong as a factory director and Yu Mingli as an Office Director were simply incomparable.

However, Zhou Andong's status was quite special; he was not only the factory director of the Woolen Mill, but also the Chairman of the Yugong Group, and had just acquired Sony Entertainment. Therefore, it was only natural for Yu Mingli, as the municipal housekeeper, to maintain a bit of respect and courtesy toward Zhou Andong.

Zhou Andong didn't stand on ceremony with Yu Mingli and walked away with the three principals. Gu Bing, who had been blowing the air conditioning in the car and watching the excitement, got out.

"Why did you get out? It's so nice blowing the air conditioning in the car." Zhou Andong glanced at Gu Bing and kept walking without stopping.

Gu Bing hurriedly trotted to catch up: "Can you walk a bit slower? Principal Yan is so old, how can she keep up?"

Zhou Andong snorted: "Principal Yan's legs and feet are nimbler than yours."

Several people entered the office building. Wang Jianmin, who had been standing by the window watching, turned around at this moment and sat back down at his desk. He reached for the cigarette on the desk, then remembered the lighter had been swiped by Zhou Andong, and depressedly threw the cigarette back on the table.

"You bastard, only you would dare to come here and swipe my cigarettes and lighter."

Wang Jianmin was so angry he picked up the cigarette and flicked it, then picked up his teacup and took a sip of the tea that had already gone cold, but it dissipated much of the depressed energy in his heart.

"Tap, tap, tap!" The office door was knocked. Wang Jianmin put down his teacup and shouted: "Come in!"

Kong Jie pushed the door open and entered. Just as he was about to speak, Wang Jianmin waved his hand: "Let them in. From now on, when Zhou Andong comes, no need to report; just let him in directly."

"Okay!" Kong Jie felt a shock in his heart and turned to leave the office. He knew the leadership valued Zhou Andong, but he didn't expect it to reach this extent: "Factory Director Zhou, the Mayor asks you to come in."

"Thank you, Secretary Kong!"

Zhou Andong thanked him and stepped into the office, with the three principals following behind him. Yan Minru was very indifferent, while Liu Bo and Ma Qingmin looked a bit nervous; this was their first time coming to a municipal leader's office.

"Principal Yan, Principal Liu, Principal Ma, hello!" Wang Jianmin personally poured tea for the three principals: "Sit down, don't stand."

As for Zhou Andong and Gu Bing, they were directly ignored by Wang Jianmin. The two didn't mind and sat on the chairs to the side, leaving the sofa for the three principals.

Yan Minru sat down first, and then Liu Bo and Ma Qingmin sat down.

Wang Jianmin said with a smile: "The three principals are the pillars of our education sector. What exactly is the matter that has caused you such great grievances, bringing so many faculty and staff to come here to me to file a complaint?" ===== CHAPTER 2567 =====
