Chapter 770

The next day.

The sun rose as usual.

Jia Jia Zhangshi fell into the cesspit and became a laughingstock.

Xu Xu Damao was busy preparing for the weekend wedding banquet.

Qin Qin Huairu asked Yi Yi Zhonghai to request leave on her behalf and was miserably taking care of Jia Jia Zhangshi.

Everyone else went to work as scheduled or tidied up the house.

Cao Cao Weiguo arrived at the Rolling Mill Factory and hadn't even warmed the seat of his chair.

Section Chief Zhao (former director of the Zhigongshitang) walked into the office:

"I heard Section Chief Zhou from the Propaganda Section has had an incident."

"He is currently detained in the detention center."

"Are you joking?"

Cao Cao Weiguo exclaimed in surprise: "Section Chief Zhou is an honest man; how could he commit an offense?"

"The news came from the Security Section; there is no mistake."

Section Chief Zhao looked serious. "Such jokes are generally not made lightly; it is ten out of ten likely to be true."

While they were speaking, Zhao Meihong arrived at the office holding documents:

"Director Cao, this is last week's expenditure report!"

"Director Zhao, I heard Old Zhou from the Propaganda Section..."

"Section Chief Zhou ran into some trouble and is currently staying in the detention center."

Zhao Meihong looked in good spirits, with an unmistakable smile hidden between her eyebrows.

This made Cao Cao Weiguo somewhat puzzled; why was she so happy about Section Chief Zhou's incident?

Of course Zhao Meihong was happy!

With Section Chief Zhou having an incident, she had a chance to transfer out of the Zhigongshitang.

Although she was the deputy director in the Zhigongshitang, she held not a shred of power.

Everyone in the Zhigongshitang, top to bottom, was held in Cao Cao Weiguo's grip.

Even if she wanted to apply for a few bottles of soy sauce, she needed Cao Cao Weiguo's signature.

She was merely a decorative vase in the Zhigongshitang.

Now Section Chief Zhou from the Propaganda Section has had an incident.

She wanted to transfer from the Zhigongshitang to the Propaganda Section.

Section Chief Zhou was the top leader of the Propaganda Section.

She wanted to experience the thrill of being the top leader.

As for whether she could transfer over?

She naturally had some confidence!

Soon, Deputy Factory Director Li notified the main heads of all departments to attend a meeting.

Cao Cao Weiguo also learned the general reason for the matter.

Last night, Section Chief Zhou went out drinking with someone and got completely drunk.

He rode his bike out of the restaurant and hit an old lady halfway.

For some reason, Section Chief Zhou rode away on his bike.

Passersby together sent the old lady to the hospital.

Several witnesses ran to the police station to report the case.

That same night, Section Chief Zhou was arrested by the police station and thrown into the detention center.

Drinking causes trouble!

Remember: do not drive after drinking, do not drink before driving!

It was fortunate it was a bicycle; if it had been a car, the old lady might have been dead.

Even with a bicycle, the old lady's hip bone was shattered by the collision.

The old lady's family was extremely angry and strongly demanded severe punishment for Section Chief Zhou, the "hit-and-run driver."

Because of this incident, Section Chief Zhou was stripped of his position completely.

Naturally, his position as Section Chief of the Propaganda Section was thus vacated.

Zhao Meihong had not been idle during this period; she had already secured Deputy Factory Director Li.

When Deputy Factory Director Li was taking off his clothes, he had sincerely promised the Xu Nuo Society to take care of her.

Now that the position of Section Chief of the Propaganda Section is vacant, he will definitely help her fight for it.

However, Zhao Meihong thought too simply; the position of top leader of the Propaganda Section is not easy to hold.

In the Rolling Mill Factory, although Deputy Factory Director Li is the top leader, he cannot cover the sky with one hand.

Besides Deputy Factory Director Li, there are Director Fang, Director Deng, and others.

Director Fang is in charge of discipline and holds the Shangfang Sword.

Director Deng is in charge of party affairs and can reach the heavens.

Since Factory Director Yang stepped back to the second line.

Li, Fang, and Deng have been fighting quite fiercely.

Especially Li and Deng both want to put their own people in power to strengthen the power in their hands.

Now, a Section Chief vacancy has appeared in the Propaganda Section, creating another point of contention.

The meeting atmosphere was oppressive and tense, except for Deputy Factory Director Li and Director Deng.

The heads of every department attending the meeting all hung their heads, not daring to state a position.

Director Deng tapped the table with his fountain pen:

"Why isn't anyone speaking?"

"You don't have a suitable candidate?"

"I think Deputy Section Chief of Party-Mass Work, Liao Dahua, is very good!"

Six or seven cadres immediately nodded and said yes.

Deputy Factory Director Li picked up his teacup and took a sip:

"If you ask me, Deputy Cafeteria Director Zhao Meihong isn't bad either."

Immediately some other cadres chimed in in agreement.

"What ability does she, Zhao Meihong, have?"

Director Deng said with a stern face: "Just on account of her ability to read the situation (trim her sails to the wind)."

Deputy Factory Director Li frowned: "Then what ability does Liao Dahua have? All day long he only knows reading books and newspapers, doing things by the book."

……

The two of them seized the chance to clash, like two pugnacious crickets.

Not a single one yielded or softened, and for a time they were locked in an inseparable fight.

In the end, Director Fang, who had always remained neutral, made a suggestion.

Since opinions weren't unified, they'd report both Zhao Meihong and Liao Dahua up.

And let the higher-ups decide based on the "actual situation."

Neither Deputy Factory Director Li nor Director Deng was satisfied.

The meeting ended on an unhappy note.

After lunch, Cao Cao Weiguo led a team to inspect the hygiene of every cafeteria.

After making a round, no major problems were found.

Back in the office, he sat down to read the newspaper, when Zhao Meihong came in, swaying her snake-like waist.

"Director Cao, here's next week's budget for you to look over."

Zhao Meihong smiled and handed the document to Cao Cao Weiguo.

"Director Zhao, you've worked hard, please sit!"

Cao Cao Weiguo took the document and said with a smile:

"Director Zhao, congratulations on your upcoming promotion."

Zhao Meihong smiled and waved her hand: "Don't make fun of me, what promotion or not, there's not even the first stroke of the character yet."

Cao Cao Weiguo opened the document and said: "Director Zhao, don't be so modest. Your work ability is plain for all to see, the top position of the Publicity Section belongs to no one but you."
