Chapter 1299: Cannot Play Mahjong

Red Star Rolling Mill

The office was filled with smoke, and Factory Director Li's ashtray was already piled high like a mountain.

Deputy Director Liao sat to the side, holding a teacup and frowning: "Leader, letting Deputy Director Cao handle the matter at the accessories factory—is that a bit rash? If Cao Weiguo doesn't handle it well, or gets injured, it won't be easy to explain to Bureau Chief Jiang."

Factory Director Li's face turned livid: "Rash? If I don't let Cao Weiguo go, should I let you go? Can you handle it?"

Deputy Director Liao chuckled apologetically: "Deputy Director Cao is young and promising; he will surely be able to handle it well and will definitely bring back good news."

Factory Director Li held his cigarette: "I, Li Huaide, have never been blind in my use of people. Since I sent Cao Weiguo to handle it, it is because I have confidence in Cao Weiguo. He is a capable general I promoted myself, definitely not a good-for-nothing."

"Ring, ring, ring..."

Before the words had even faded, the phone on Factory Director Li's desk rang.

Factory Director Li picked up the receiver, joy appearing on his face: "Good! Good! Weiguo, you've worked hard! I know! Good! I will have Old Feng go handle it... Good!"

Hanging up the phone, Factory Director Li slapped the table with a face full of joy: "Good! I said I didn't misjudge him! Cao Weiguo is a good one; the workers at the accessories factory have already been persuaded back to the workshops!"

Deputy Director Liao immediately offered flattery: "The leader has a discerning eye and knows how to appoint people; my admiration for the leader is like the surging river, continuous and endless..."

In the evening, Factory Director Han and the others were brought to the main mill to accept isolation and investigation. At the same time, truckloads of supplies were transported from the main mill to the accessories factory.

Even if Cao Weiguo's culinary skills were superb, he couldn't steam buns without flour.

The rats at the accessories factory had quite the appetite, almost emptying the accessories factory's canteen quota. The large warehouse only had about a hundred rotten cabbages and a few sacks of small, soft carrots. There were a few hundred catties of grain, but most of it was moldy old grain.

It was no wonder the workers were angrily blocking the office building; this was entirely the rats at the accessories factory courting death.

Now that the matter had blown up, they could only urgently mobilize supplies from the main mill to plug the hole.

The leadership layer of the accessories factory had almost been wiped out in one fell swoop. A director surnamed Tian was temporarily appointed as the acting factory director to preside over the work at the accessories factory, while Cao Weiguo was responsible for assisting the acting factory director in rectifying the staff canteen and assisting the investigators sent down by the higher-level departments in their work.

By the time Cao Weiguo returned to the rolling mill from the accessories factory, the sun had already set.

In the guesthouse, Factory Director Li was drinking and chatting with Factory Director Han, Director Deng, and Director Xue. Seeing Cao Weiguo walk into the room, their expressions all changed slightly.

Factory Director Li stood up with a face full of smiles: "Weiguo is back. You've worked hard today, sit down quickly."

Cao Weiguo glanced at the kraft paper bag at Factory Director Li's feet, greeted Factory Director Han and the others with a smile, and then sat down in an empty seat.

Including Factory Director Han, a total of seven leaders were brought away from the accessories factory today.

However, seeing that Factory Director Han could still drink and eat meat, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Factory Director Han raised his wine glass and said: "Director Cao, it's all thanks to you. Otherwise, I don't know if I'd even be able to drink a mouthful of hot water right now. I won't say more; I toast you."

Cao Weiguo raised his wine glass: "Factory Director Han, you speak too harshly."

After eating a few bites and drinking a few cups of wine, Factory Director Li insisted on dragging them to play mahjong.

Cao Weiguo waved his hand: "Leader, I don't know how to play, I don't know how to play."

Factory Director Li laughed: "Not knowing how to play is just right. Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers; that's when playing mahjong is truly enjoyable."

Cao Weiguo doesn't really play mahjong? ===== CHAPTER 1301 =====
