Chapter 1301: Lessons on a Snowy Day

Winter Solstice

Snowflakes fluttering, cold wind howling, silver-clad world...

After the new factory director took office, Cao Weiguo also set off to return to the main mill.

Upon learning that Cao Weiguo was leaving, the workers at the accessories factory were full of reluctance.

But in this world, where is there a banquet that doesn't end?

Su Mei watched with lingering reluctance as Cao Weiguo rode away in the jeep.

During the time Cao Weiguo worked at the accessories factory, Su Mei could be said to be the happiest person.

A young female worker walked over and shouted: "Su Mei, Director Li Fei is looking for you!"

Su Mei turned her head and said: "Got it, thank you Sister Sun, I'll go over right now."

Because the factory leaders of the accessories factory were almost wiped out in one fell swoop, Cao Weiguo brought Li Fei and Chu Jinshui over together during the period of rectifying the staff canteen.

As the saying goes, having people in the court makes it easy to be an official!

Li Fei was a relative of Factory Director Li, and on top of that, he had Cao Weiguo as his master.

This guy didn't spend much effort to become a section chief in the accessories factory's staff canteen, becoming a deputy section-level cadre at a young age.

Because of his background, Chu Jinshui could only "reluctantly" become a team leader, the second-in-command and head chef of the staff canteen.

In addition, Section Chief Guo was transferred to the accessories factory to become a deputy factory director, and Liu Hong, Liu Limin's uncle, was transferred to the accessories factory to serve as the administrative section chief.

As for the previous leaders of the accessories factory, nine out of ten were sent to farms for labor reform.

Factory Director Han did not participate in "dividing the spoils," but he also had suspicions of "dereliction of duty" and was transferred to the waste collection station in the East City District to serve as a deputy station chief.

Going from a factory director to a deputy station chief at a waste collection station—such a punishment could not be considered light.

It is said that this was still because Factory Director Han had someone above him; otherwise, Factory Director Han wouldn't even have had the opportunity to go to the waste collection station.

This incident at the accessories factory caused many cadres to be dismissed, and even Factory Director Li, the head of the main mill, received criticism.

However, some people also tasted sweetness from it, and the first to bear the brunt was Cao Weiguo.

Cao Weiguo rushed to the front line, took root in the staff canteen, and served the workers in a down-to-earth manner... because of his outstanding performance, he received praise from higher-level leaders.

Seeing Cao Weiguo receive praise, Xu Damao and Shazhu were so jealous their eyes turned red.

Old neighbors like Liu Haizhong, Yi Zhonghai, and Yan Jiecheng seemed to have eaten over ten catties of lemons.

Everyone worked in the same mill; how could the morally corrupt Cao Weiguo be thriving, while they, these diligent and capable talents, were ignored?

Xu Damao cursed inwardly: These factory leaders are all a bunch of blind people; they only know how to waste the country's grain, wining and dining all day and not doing human work!

Thinking that Cao Weiguo's apprentice Li Fei had been transferred to the accessories factory to be a section chief, Xu Damao felt even more uncomfortable.

With an ugly face, he went to Director Deng's office and complained with full resentment.

Yi Zhonghai nagged at Shazhu outside the restroom: "Zhuzi, you really should learn more from Cao Weiguo. Otherwise, when will you ever have a day to get ahead? An apprentice of mine told me that the higher-level leaders not only praised Cao Weiguo verbally but also rewarded Cao Weiguo with quite a few coal coupons, meat coupons, and industrial coupons. Those are all real, tangible benefits."

Shazhu said with a face full of indignation: "I am incompatible with evil! That Cao Weiguo is despicable and insidious, only knowing how to bootlick and be lazy. He is a heinous villain. I, He Yuzhu, would rather die than associate with him."

Yi Zhonghai was dumbfounded. Had this Shazhu's brain short-circuited?

Although he had taught Shazhu some "great principles," he hadn't expected to teach Shazhu into a fool!

Could it be that his internal strength was too profound and he had used too much force?

Yi Zhonghai said with a kind face: "Zhuzi, people shouldn't be so stubborn. When it's time to be flexible, one still needs to be flexible. I know you have justice in your heart and can't stand Cao Weiguo's actions, but one has to bow when under the eaves. You've received a punishment from the mill and are working under Cao Weiguo. If you keep going against him, it won't do you any good at all. Do you want to be a handyman forever, only earning twenty-something yuan a month? Don't you want to take up the ladle and be the head chef again?"

Shazhu snorted coldly: "Uncle Yi, don't say anymore. I, He Yuzhu, have lived uprightly all my life; even if I starve to death, I will absolutely not submit to that villain Cao Weiguo."

Yi Zhonghai was full of helplessness: "Zhuzi! You! You! Alas!"

Seeing that he couldn't persuade this stubborn donkey Shazhu, Yi Zhonghai threw his hands up and left in helplessness.

Regretting the past!

With Shazhu's stubbornness, I fear it will be very difficult for him to ever get ahead.

Such a fool who wouldn't turn back even after hitting the south wall—what will he use to support his old age in the future?

"Weiguo, wait!"

On the way home from work, Qin Huairu chased after him, panting.

Cao Weiguo looked at Qin Huairu sideways: "Something looking for me?"

At this moment, Qin Huairu's face was flushed, her chest was heaving, and dark strands of hair were stuck to her forehead by sweat.

"Huff! Why are you riding so fast! You've exhausted me."

"Weiguo, I heard that the higher-level leaders rewarded you with quite a few coal coupons. Can you spare me some? Don't worry, I won't take them for nothing."

Qin Huairu cast a charming glance, and it seemed as if a scent was drifting in the air.

Cao Weiguo smiled: "You want coal coupons?" ===== CHAPTER 1303 =====
