Chapter 1293: Deputy Director of the Committee

Red Star Rolling Mill.

For Cao Weiguo to become the deputy director of the committee, Xu Damao's heart was extremely unbalanced.

He had tried his best to curry favor with Director Deng, believing himself to be more capable and outstanding than Cao Weiguo. Why did all the good things fall on Cao Weiguo?

Just because Cao Weiguo could cook? Just because Cao Weiguo had a close relationship with Factory Director Li?

On the surface, Xu Damao called Cao Weiguo brother, but in his heart, he was never convinced and wanted to suppress Cao Weiguo.

Growing up in the same Sihe Academy, Xu Damao had looked down on Cao Weiguo since he was a child.

But he didn't expect Cao Weiguo to have such good luck, hugging Factory Director Li's thigh and then rising all the way up.

He racked his brains and finally became a deputy section chief, determined to achieve results and live better than Cao Weiguo, but reality gave him a hard slap in the face.

The Red Star Rolling Mill received instructions from superiors to form a Revolutionary Committee. After Xu Damao got the news, he jumped around just to get a piece of the pie.

But in the end, Cao Weiguo, who had been doing nothing, became the deputy director, while he didn't get a single hair.

Xu Damao's heart was full of emotions, and he ran to Director Deng every three days to complain.

"Director Deng, look at the situation in our factory now. Factory Director Li is arbitrary, and Cao Weiguo uses his position to seek personal gain, casually arranging for relatives to work in the factory, simply treating the rolling mill as his own vegetable garden, letting whoever he wants in!"

Director Deng held a purple clay teapot and sipped tea carefully. The tea Cao Weiguo sent was truly a rare treasure.

Seeing Director Deng say nothing, Xu Damao leaned in close: "Director Deng, I really don't understand. You are the Organization Department Director of our factory; how can you just let Cao Weiguo arrange for relatives at will?"

Director Deng put down the purple clay teapot and looked at Xu Damao with cold eyes: "Deputy Section Chief Xu, just do your own job well. You don't need to worry about the factory's personnel work. If you have any dissatisfaction or opinions about Deputy Director Cao, you can say it to his face or bring it up at the meeting."

Xu Damao clenched his fists in anger, lowered his head with a flushed face, and said: "Yes! Sorry, Director Deng, I thought too much, I, I was just worried..."

Director Deng raised his hand: "What are you worried about? Do your own job well, and don't meddle in other things. I still have documents to process. If there's nothing else, go back to work."

Xu Damao left in embarrassment, and Director Deng sneered with contempt.

This Xu Damao looked smart, but was actually very stupid.

Ever since Li Huaide became the director of the committee, the Red Star Rolling Mill had become Li Huaide's one-man show, and Cao Weiguo was deeply trusted by Li Huaide, with superiors supporting him from behind. Even he had to greet him with a smile.

Besides, Cao Weiguo knew how to behave; he never missed the etiquette during festivals. Who would offend someone for no reason?

But this Xu Damao was blinded by greed and ungrateful—simply a fool.

There were no walls without cracks in the factory. Cao Weiguo did arrange for many relatives and friends to work in the factory, but how did you, Xu Damao, become a deputy section chief? Don't you know in your own heart?

If it weren't for Cao Weiguo bridging the gap, you, Xu Damao, with your checkered past, could have been promoted to deputy section chief?

Seeing Xu Damao not knowing how to be grateful and still stabbing him in the back.

Director Deng had no good feelings for Xu Damao, and even felt disgust and disdain.

No one likes an ungrateful white-eyed wolf.

After Xu Damao left, Director Deng picked up the phone.

Ding Qiunan was transferred to work at the hospital, and Ding Qiunan's parents were overjoyed.

Compared to the machine repair factory, the hospital was much better in terms of treatment and room for advancement.

Moreover, since the movement started, Ding's father was removed from his post for investigation, and Ding Qiunan was also affected, transferred from the medical room to the workshop to do manual labor.

It was just that Ding Qiunan had strong self-esteem and kept holding on by herself; even when she was injured by a falling object at work, she didn't say a word to Cao Weiguo.

Cao Weiguo learned of Ding Qiunan's situation from Nan Yi, and then carried fruit to visit the Ding family as a friend.

Later, he used some connections to get Ding Qiunan a job at the hospital.

After she officially started, Ding's parents asked Ding Qiunan to invite Cao Weiguo to their home for a meal to express their gratitude.

Ding Qiunan wore a single ponytail, a blue wool sweater on her upper body, black trousers on her lower body, and a blue plaid apron—a picture of a delicate young lady.

After drinking a few cups of wine, Ding's parents mentioned their gratitude again.

Ding's mother said sincerely: "Section Chief Cao, Qiunan being able to work at the hospital is all thanks to you. Otherwise, we wouldn't know how to live our lives. Qiunan, why don't you thank Section Chief Cao."

Ding Qiunan walked to Cao Weiguo with a wine glass: "Weiguo, thank you."

Cao Weiguo smiled: "Sister Qiunan, why are you being so polite with me? Isn't it natural for friends to help each other?"

Ding's mother said happily: "It's a blessing from a past life for Qiunan to know a friend like you."

Ding's father said with complex emotions: "Distance tests a horse's strength, and time reveals a person's heart!"

He thought he had many good friends before, but now they all avoided him, as if he had become a poisonous beast.

There were even some "close friends" who disregarded their friendship and kicked him while he was down, providing a lot of material; otherwise, he wouldn't have ended up in such a sorry state.

After lunch, Ding Qiunan and Cao Weiguo left the Ding family together.

Each riding their bicycles, they arrived at a Sihe Academy in Zhengyang Sect.

This Sihe Academy was exactly Uncle Pian's ancestral property, which had fallen into Cao Weiguo's hands after some twists and turns, and was now Ding Qiunan's residence.

This residence was "openly and honestly" rented to Ding Qiunan by Uncle Pian, but in reality, this Sihe Academy already belonged to Cao Weiguo.

This matter is a long story!

Perhaps because of the butterfly effect, Uncle Pian returned from the Northeast a few months late. ===== CHAPTER 1295 =====
