Chapter 935: A Big Black Pot

"Boom~~~"

The scene of the rectification meeting could no longer be suppressed; the employee representatives all stood up.

The faces of the leaders on the stage turned completely pale, and they nearly collapsed to the ground.

As piece after piece of evidence was disclosed and testimony after testimony was revealed, the people at the scene no longer believed their nonsense.

On stage, Peng Yonghong was still futilely smashing the microphone, and Feng Daozong, seeing that things were going poorly, had already stood up to leave.

Jin Liangcai was much smarter than Peng Yonghong; seeing Feng Daozong stand up, he followed suit, wanting to leave through another exit.

But just as they had stood up and were rushing toward the exit to run away, the several large doors of the meeting hall were kicked open with a bang.

The cold wind from outside blew in, causing the atmosphere in the hall to turn solemn. Along with the cold wind came the fully armed steel mill security team.

This was not the light equipment used for daily patrols and training, but a fully armed state with weapons and police dogs.

Not only were the leaders on stage stunned, but even the emotionally charged and hot-blooded employee representatives were startled.

"Everyone, sit down where you are!"

"Everyone, please return to your seats and sit down!"

Zhou Yao, with a stern face and holding an emergency electronic megaphone, walked in from the entrance with a team of security officers.

These security officers tacitly cooperated with the factory security team, occupying favorable positions according to the rehearsal procedures and quickly controlling the scene.

With them holding the megaphones, wherever they pointed, people had to sit down and be quiet; otherwise, the factory security team members would rush up to drag them away.

The leaders on stage still thought these people had been arranged by Chu Yougong, and each felt slightly more settled in their hearts.

As long as order was maintained, they had the confidence to tear the opposing remarks on the broadcast to shreds.

When it came to glib talk, they were professionals.

Below the stage, some young cadres looked at the heroic and imposing Zhou Yao, especially that delicate face that revealed majesty, which made them admire her even more.

"Hey~ is that the new college student who came this year?"

"Tsk tsk~ she really is learned."

The person beside him whispered: "She's already a deputy section chief of the security department at such a young age; her future is boundless."

"I just admire this kind."

The person in front pursed his lips, looked at Zhou Yao, and said: "The other half of one's life must be straightforward; I don't like those soft and weak ones~"

"Why don't you just say you like her~"

The person on the side gestured with his hand and signaled to him: "If you like her, you must act quickly; there are really quite a few people eyeing her!"

The person in front took a look, and sure enough, it was true; many young men of his age were looking at Zhou Yao.

It could truly be said: "Guan-guan go the ospreys, on the islet in the river; the modest, retiring, virtuous, young lady, for our prince a good mate."

Zhou Yao hadn't thought that people below would evaluate or admire her like this.

She heard the discussions on stage and Peng Yonghong still trying to shout to the crowd below using the microphone.

She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, pointed her finger at the stage, and shouted through the electronic megaphone: "Quiet! Sit down!"

"Are you deaf! I wasn't talking to you!"

"Sit down!!"

"..."

The entire hall of employee representatives creaked and fell silent; even those whispering stopped.

This girl was too bold; she dared to lose her temper at the leaders while maintaining order.

The leaders on stage also hadn't expected Zhou Yao to target them, and they couldn't help but cast their gazes toward Chu Yougong and Zhou Yong.

These two also had confused expressions, and the look they returned to the leaders was: Don't look at me! She wasn't arranged by me!

Chu Yougong and Zhou Yong, seeing each other's expressions, both widened their eyes and looked at the other.

The meaning was: If it wasn't arranged by you, who was it arranged by?

"Hu Nao!"

Jin Liangcai, seeing that the situation was under control, stopped running, stood on the stage, pointed at Zhou Yao, and cursed: "Who are you shouting at!"

After speaking, he waved his hand at Chu Yougong and Zhou Yong below the stage, signaling them to handle the security group's problem themselves.

Zhou Yong was indeed brave; seeing the leader above wave his hand, he bounced up from his seat and rushed toward Zhou Yao.

"Turn off that megaphone for me!"

"Zhou Yao! Obey orders..."

"Ouch~ hiss~ ah~"

Zhou Yong rushed over wanting to snatch the megaphone from Zhou Yao's hand, but he underestimated Zhou Yao's combat power.

A few days ago, when the leaders were not at home, Zhou Yao had obeyed Li Xuewu's orders and endured this bastard who came to serve in the security department again and again.

Now that the leaders were sitting below, could she still endure Zhou Yong's insolence?

She didn't use any fancy tricks, just a ruthless kick to the crotch, followed by a small grappling move to grab Zhou Yong's wrist, and then a simple back throw.

Crack!

The scene was very quiet; everyone could hear the sound of Zhou Yong's balls shattering, as well as the hiss from his throat.

As for why the sound of him hitting the ground was so clear, it was entirely because his reaction was slow; he didn't scream when his balls shattered, just turned red and held his breath.

It wasn't until he was pressed to the ground by Zhou Yao and his hands were cuffed that he let out a heart-wrenching, painful howl.

And Zhou Yao?

At this moment, she stood up lightly, stepped on Zhou Yong's head, glanced at the people on stage with disdain, and snorted: "With just these three-legged cat skills, you dare to come to the security department to run wild?!"

Whoosh~~~

A cold breeze swept across the crotches of all the men at the scene, followed by their legs tightening.

Looking at Zhou Yao again, those young men no longer had the admiration they had just felt.

Especially the one who had just said he admired and liked her type; in his heart, he felt Zhou Yao wasn't that great after all, and this girl wasn't worth pursuing.

After all, there were plenty of suitable girls in the factory; there was no need to take a serious life-threatening risk just to marry a wife.

Zhou Yao had used just one move to kill the chicken to warn the monkey, subduing the entire scene.

Even the few people on stage didn't dare to move, sitting down quietly, very afraid that Zhou Yao would rush up and give them a hit.

Even a big guy like Zhou Yong couldn't withstand a single blow from her, let alone them.

And after Zhou Yao stopped, the gazes of the few people on stage couldn't help but turn toward Li Xuewu, who was sitting in the first row below.

Jin Liangcai was like this, Peng Yonghong was like this, and even Feng Daozong was like this.

This man seemed to be their nightmare; every time, he would hit them at the most critical moment.

Even if they didn't provoke him, he was still an enemy.

Anyone could see that the person controlling the scene wasn't the leaders on stage, nor the new group wanting reform, but Li Xuewu, who was sitting there calmly drinking tea.

When the meeting started, the complex gazes everyone cast at him were still complex now.

Only compared to the previous moment, there was fear and timidity in their gazes now.

"Ptooey~"

Li Xuewu lightly spat out the tea stalk in his mouth and said indifferently: "Really damn bad luck~"

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the office director beside him, Ding Zigui, and asked: "Is it because you saw I was about to be finished that you didn't even use good tea for the meeting?"

"Don't pull that~"

Ding Zigui's body was upright and didn't fear a crooked shadow; he was a neutral party and didn't fear Li Xuewu's teasing at all.

He replied, pushed his own cup of tea in front of Li Xuewu, and said: "Why don't you drink this cup of mine?"

"Forget it~"

Li Xuewu chuckled, pushed his teacup away, and said indifferently: "The weather has changed; you, Old Ding, aren't favored either. I don't believe your tea is better than mine!"

Ding Zigui could hear the subtext in his words, sat there silently, his gaze scanning the front stage.

The sound on the broadcast continued, only suddenly the heartfelt confession of the love seed Yuan Hua was gone, replaced by the sound of Shan Nanqi being arrested.

This was truly ironic; the factory broadcast station director was arrested on a live broadcast, and for the reason of violating the steel mill's public security management regulations.

At this moment, everyone's gaze fell on Li Xuewu, knowing that the security group had taken action.

No, it wasn't the security group controlled by Chu Yougong these past few days, but the true security force under Li Xuewu's leadership.

Seeing Li Xuewu nod slightly at Zhou Yao, who was looking at him, the deputy section chief of the security department walked to the front of the stage and shouted through the megaphone: "Action!" The scene became restless again.

Following the arrest of Shan Nanqi on the broadcast, the security officers on duty at the scene also began arrest operations.

Chu Yougong, Chen Shuyi, Yuan Xiumei, and others, who had been high-spirited just a moment ago, were called up one by one by the security officers to be cuffed.

If anyone dared to say one more word or had any resistance, they would be subjected to a full set of arrest procedures.

With Zhou Yong as an example, and the meeting hall controlled by the factory security team, they knew the situation was lost and could only comply obediently.

If it had been another department, even the Discipline Inspection people, they wouldn't have been so compliant.

It could only be said that the people in the security department had long since engraved the genes of "leniency for confession, severity for resistance" into the bones of all the factory employees.

The arrest procedure invented by Li Xuewu was deeply remembered by everyone who had experienced it, and feared like a tiger by those who hadn't.

The security officers in the security department below the stage were calling names from a list to make arrests, while on stage, Zhou Yao had already taken action against those leaders.

Including Feng Daozong, Peng Yonghong, Jin Liangcai, and other members of the work group from above, they were searched and cuffed one by one.

Peng Yonghong couldn't help but remind Zhou Yao, saying that once he was cuffed, it wouldn't be easy for just anyone to take them off, so don't cause trouble for her leaders.

Zhou Yao didn't care about this; she went up and gave him a big slap, hitting Peng Yonghong so hard he nearly had a cerebral hemorrhage from anger.

In front of so many people, in front of Feng Daozong, he was hit by a woman; what kind of decorum was this?

But, when under the eaves, one has to bow one's head.

What about you, Peng Yonghong?

Look at Feng Daozong; did he dare not to cooperate!

Look at factory leader Cheng Kaiyuan; did he dare to say a word of "no"!

Xiong Bencheng was the deputy leader of the investigation group they appointed, a proper factory leader, but look, did he dare to speak for Zhou Yao?

Everyone knew very well that the person who wanted to take action wasn't Zhou Yao, but Li Xuewu, who was sitting below the stage chatting idly.

Everyone also knew very well that the factory security team members with weapons wouldn't dare to fire easily, but ask them if they dared to use their rifle butts to beat you.

Basically everyone who participated in this sudden reform activity was here today; Li Xuewu had also arranged for people to arrest those who weren't at the scene.

This move of catching a turtle in a jar was truly a punch to Cheng Kaiyuan's head, hitting him until he was dizzy and his head was buzzing.

Watching the security department call names and make arrests, Peng Xiaoli, standing in the corner of the hall, was jumping with anxiety.

He stretched his neck to listen to the names on the list; why wasn't Sun Jian's name there?

Was it because he hadn't explained clearly to the leader, or had these people missed Sun Jian's name when making the list?

Watching Sun Jian sitting there calmly drinking tea, Peng Xiaoli really wanted to walk over and remind the security department people that there was still a fish that slipped through the net!

No matter how anxious Peng Xiaoli was, Sun Jian just sat there steadily, as if it really had nothing to do with him.

The people inside the meeting hall who participated in the reform activity were cleared out and taken away by the security team in handcuffs.

The employee representatives in the hall looked left and right, and discussions gradually arose.

Only the silent Cheng Kaiyuan and Xiong Bencheng remained on stage; all the employee representatives didn't know what to do next.

There was a play in the hall, and there was another play outside the factory.

When Feng Daozong and the others were escorted out of the meeting hall, they discovered that the outside of the venue was full of security team members.

Even the armed vehicles on duty had been driven out, with a light machine gun mounted high on the vehicle, and the security team members had serious and sharp eyes.

What made Feng Daozong and the others feel most guilty was that Li Huai De was standing by the vehicle, and standing behind Li Huai De were Gu Weijie, Jing Yunong, and Xue Zhifu.

The four of them had equally serious expressions, and they didn't show any courtesy when facing the gazes of Feng Daozong and the others.

They were just cold, like the white snow and ice in the roadside flower beds.

Li Huai De's gaze even pointedly swept toward the handcuffs on their hands, carrying a bit of emotion.

Both sides looked at each other in silence; the outcome was decided, and anything else was nonsense.

And the cadres of the steel mill, like Chu Yougong and others, were also ashamed; they couldn't say words of begging for mercy at this moment.

They were temporarily arrested by the security department on the grounds of disturbing the factory's production order; how to handle it later would depend on Li Huai De's opinion.

Feng Daozong and the others who came from above knew very well that Li Huai De wouldn't dare to do anything to them, but it would be hard to say when they got back.

Chu Yougong and others were anxious in their hearts, afraid that they would suffer in the security department; they knew best what kind of person Li Xuewu was.

Standing there, Li Huai De took the three of them to see them off as they were taken into the vehicle, watched the vehicle drive away, and only then, under the reminder of Secretary Li Haiyang and others, stepped onto the steps.

Inside the meeting hall, because the security team had already withdrawn, there was no one left to control or restrain, and it seemed a bit noisy.

And because the two factory leaders on stage hadn't left, and the office leaders sitting in the front row hadn't moved, the employee representatives naturally wouldn't leave.

Some people had already guessed that there should be a protagonist coming on stage in a while, otherwise why wouldn't the two on stage move.

When Zhou Yao was making arrests, she had already told them: when you are out, you give yourself face; if you dare to move around, don't blame me for not giving you face.

Xiong Bencheng had long since turned ashen, sitting there decadently with his head down, while Cheng Kaiyuan was still persisting, sitting straight.

When he saw Li Huai De walk into the meeting hall with the other three leaders of the steel mill, and when warm applause sounded at the scene, Cheng Kaiyuan knew that he had truly lost.

A total defeat!

"Hehehe, Comrade Bencheng."

Li Huai De didn't have any special emotions, took the lead in applauding, and walked to the stage.

First, he waved to the factory employee representatives who stood up and applauded warmly below the stage, then walked to Xiong Bencheng's side and took the initiative to reach out his hand.

Xiong Bencheng looked at him awkwardly, reached out his hands in shame, and accepted Li Huai De's olive branch.

Li Huai De smiled, patted his arm, and asked with concern.

"Although Comrade Bencheng is old, he is not confused in his work!"

Li Huai De held Xiong Bencheng's hand and said with a smile to the people beside him: "He has responsibility and achievements. Our factory having such an old person is like having a treasure!"

This remark was almost pointing at Xiong Bencheng's nose and cursing; every sentence was said in reverse, making Jing Yunong and others twitch the corners of their mouths.

Li Huai De said what he said, but he didn't intend to clean up Xiong Bencheng; he was an old guy, how many more years could he toss?

Putting this old thing in that position, as long as he was suppressed, and whipped from time to time to let him remember the lesson, he just needed to be obedient and raise his hand when attending meetings.

If someone else were really put up, it wouldn't necessarily be someone as reassuring, nor would they necessarily be as obedient as him.

After mocking Xiong Bencheng, Li Huai De walked to the main seat, watched Secretary Li Haiyang replace Feng Daozong's nameplate, and smiled as he patted Cheng Kaiyuan's shoulder beside him.

Regardless of Cheng Kaiyuan's liver-colored face, he spoke to the audience below from the microphone: "In the days I wasn't home, Comrade Kaiyuan worked hard~"

No need to be surprised why the microphone was controlled when Peng Yonghong was speaking, but Li Huai De could use it now.

Li Xuewu's arrangements were far more than just these.

"I had no choice but to go to the frontier."

Li Huai De waved his hand, signaling the people below to sit down, and also signaling Jing Yunong and others to find a place to sit.

He himself said: "The Frontier Office plays an important supporting role in the future economic and trade development of the steel mill."

"It can be said like this!"

Li Huai De waved to the audience below and said: "With the Frontier Office, our factory's employees have wool yarn to use, beef and mutton to eat, and fruit from the frontier to eat!"

"Good!"

Whoosh~~~

Warm cheers and applause sounded below the stage; this was the best support and statement for Li Huai De's speech and the current development policy of the steel mill.

"We held a work meeting before going to the frontier."

Li Huai De smiled and looked in Cheng Kaiyuan's direction, saying: "I asked Deputy Director Gu to preside over the work on my behalf, and asked Comrade Yunong to assist."

"I didn't expect Comrade Kaiyuan to be so enthusiastic and active, wanting to help me with this favor; I am truly grateful."

Li Huai De's words were full of irony: "This reflects Comrade Kaiyuan's selfless dedication, and even more reflects the cohesion of our current leadership team!"

"It's a good thing~"

His expression gradually turned serious from a smile, and he said: "I heard that the meeting held today is a rectification meeting?"

"Then we really must rectify the atmosphere."

Li Huai De lightly patted the table and said: "I see that there is such a crooked atmosphere causing chaos in the factory."

"When the entire industrial and transportation system across the country is united in responding to the call to build factories and study, there are some people who are not content with their duties, do not work according to the highest instructions, but insist on engaging in small actions!"

"They don't know how to do things! They only know how to target people!"

Li Xuewu, sitting below, almost thought Old Li had gone crazy and was talking about himself.

"What do they want to do! They want to destroy the excellent development situation of our factory, destroy the employee welfare that is being built, and are a small group of bad elements with crooked minds and distorted thoughts!"

"Bad people! Bad people! Bad people!"

Employee representatives at the scene had already excitedly stood up and followed Li Huai De in shouting slogans.

If it was said that Feng Daozong and others criticized industrial reform and the car project earlier, the employee representatives had complaints but didn't dare to speak.

But these bastards actually proposed stopping the construction of residential areas and the building of the welfare system; wasn't this destroying their common interests?

If it weren't for the security department people suddenly coming in to maintain order, some people would have gone up to grab those people down to reason with them.

"Of course!"

Li Huai De was influenced by the excited emotions of the employee representatives and also stood up, one hand supporting his lower back, the other waving forcefully.

"The cadres and employees of the Red Star Steel Mill have thoughts, ideals, and are politically conscious and consider the overall situation!"

"In the process of reform and development, there are some different opinions, but I, Li Huai De, can still listen to different voices!"

"Problems can be discussed and solved, but I firmly do not allow such destructive forms and propositions to affect the future of the steel mill!"

"Absolutely not!"

"Absolutely not! Absolutely not! Absolutely not!"

The atmosphere at the scene was stirred up very warmly by Li Huai De; the employee representatives couldn't help but walk out of their seats, flock to the front of the stage, and surround Li Huai De and others.

"I want to speak!"

Li Huai De waved his hand and said very seriously: "The steel mill has comrades like Xiao Zihong, like Sun Jian, like Yu Haitang, who are enlightened, progressive, and take the future development of the steel mill as their own responsibility! The overall situation of future development cannot be destroyed and is invincible!"

"Good~ good~ good~!"

The atmosphere at the scene reached its peak amidst Li Huai De's speech; the employee representatives listened to Li Huai De's uplifting words and shouted "good" over and over again.

Peng Xiaoli stood in the corner, somewhat dumbfounded; even when Gu Cheng came over, he didn't notice.

He deeply suspected that the leader had made a mistake; he was the one who stole evidence from Sun Jian's office, not Sun Jian from his office...

Oh my, his mind was so messy!

Not only did this not arrest Sun Jian, but it actually got him on Director Li's list of meritorious service; had something gone wrong somewhere?

Wasn't this missing a bad guy!

After Li Huai De's speech ended, the atmosphere in the meeting hall eased slightly.

Gu Weijie and Jing Yunong delivered speeches at Li Huai De's invitation respectively.

Gu Weijie talked about how she had just returned from studying above, bringing the earnest hope of the leaders above for the development of the steel mill, and also bringing the wishes of the leaders, wishing the steel mill to go better and better.

After a round of warm applause, it was Jing Yunong's speech.

She shared her proud mood when giving a speech about the Yangcheng trade experience in other units.

When talking about the steel mill's projects becoming more and more numerous, better and better, and the employee welfare benefits becoming better and better, leaders and workers of other factories were incomparably envious.

The pride on her face couldn't be fake; everyone loved to hear that other factories envied the steel mill, and loved to hear factory leaders proudly say that the steel mill was the best.

The scene was filled with waves of warm applause, making the faces of all the employee representatives full of smiles.

The panic of the past few days was appeased and comforted by Li Huai De and others at this moment, and they were encouraged to continue moving forward along the correct path.

When the entire employee representative congress ended and everyone left the venue, the sky outside was already clear, without a trace of rain, snow, or haze.

The security force of the security team had long since withdrawn, leaving only a few snow marks, telling of the thrill just now.

And the employee representatives who walked out seemed as if they hadn't seen anything and nothing had happened, anxious to return to their units and convey this good news to their comrades.

Ding Zigui looked at the calm Li Xuewu, thinking of his ambition and great feats of planning and winning thousands of miles away; his calmness at this moment was even more youthful and promising.

Li Huai De didn't mention the greatest contributor to this victory in his speech.

It was as if he had forgotten, but instead, he specifically let those who cared engrave Li Xuewu's name in their minds, in that area where they absolutely must not be enemies with him.

He deliberately walked with Li Xuewu while holding a teacup, chatting and laughing, just like a casual chat after a meeting.

After his thoughts, Ding Zigui knew even more that Li Huai De not mentioning Li Xuewu was the greatest gratitude to Li Xuewu.

Looking at Li Xuewu again, his status was definitely not just a business expert; the experience of sharing weal and woe would inevitably make Li Huai De trust and reuse him even more.

On the way, Li Xuewu asked with a smile about the interesting things on the broadcast, why Yuan Hua could withstand so many people kicking the door.

Ding Zigui guessed randomly with a smile, saying it might be the power of love.

Li Xuewu laughed out loud, saying he didn't expect Director Ding to believe in love too.

Ding Zigui spat out the hot tea in his mouth and said with a smile that he was old, and he didn't believe in love at all.

The two mentioned today's arrangements and plans again, but Li Xuewu didn't hide anything.

He said he asked Yu Daru of the Confidentiality Department to use the investigation of eavesdropping as a cover to set up monitoring equipment in relevant locations.

He also mentioned that Xiao Zihong took the lead in transferring people from the training ground, using personnel changes as a cover to insert surveillance personnel in relevant departments.

Finally, he arranged for Yu Decai to act as a coordinator, cooperating with Sun Jian, Yu Haitang, and others to carry out reconnaissance, counterattack, and arrest missions, extinguishing this fire in one fell swoop.

Ding Zigui broke out in a cold sweat and his legs trembled as he listened; how long ago had Li Xuewu been digging a hole and laying out a plan to guard against Cheng Kaiyuan?

It could be said that Cheng Kaiyuan didn't lose unjustly at all, and Chu Yougong and others deserved to be buried with him.

How many people had Li Xuewu pitted, and they still didn't learn their lesson, plotting against him; this was like playing with a big sword in front of Guan Gong!

Historically, only Li Xuewu pitted others; he hadn't seen anyone pit Li Xuewu yet!

Xu Sinian had something to say, saying that Li Xuewu was a monkey once he got hair!

Ding Zigui reminded him again that there were investigation group people on the training ground, and there must be someone working from the inside.

Peng Xiaoli trotted to catch up, curled his lips after hearing the second half of Director Ding's words, and thought to himself: with people like Ding Xuebo, it would be better to meet Zhou Yao; she talks about handling cases in compliance with regulations.

But falling into Wei Tong's hands was not necessarily the case; when he was transferred to the mountain to manage the training ground, Wei Tong was arranged that way because he was ruthless and Li Xuewu was afraid he would cause trouble.

It could only be said that Ding Xuebo's situation must be worse, much worse, than those people in the detention room.

Peng Xiaoli was thinking wildly while carrying Li Xuewu's teacup and bag, while Gu Cheng, who followed beside him, wanted to remind him if it was time to talk about that matter.

Peng Xiaoli had no intention of helping him claim credit to the leader; he was still hesitating whether to report Sun Jian's situation to Li Xuewu.

But just as the group passed the corridor and arrived at the office area, they happened to see Sun Jian standing in front of the security building door talking to Zhou Yao.

And when Li Xuewu walked to the door with Peng Xiaoli and Gu Cheng, Sun Jian and Zhou Yao greeted them together with a smile.

"Leader, the detention procedures for the people have been completed."

Zhou Yao saluted and reported the work progress to Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "Without my order, no one can take them away, and no one can arrange for them to see outsiders."

"Understood!"

Zhou Yao nodded, replied very seriously, and even quietly asked if they should start the project.

Li Xuewu looked at her with amusement and reminded: "You must pay attention to your words and deeds; just now in the meeting hall, I heard them discussing that they didn't dare to find you to be a partner, saying you were too fierce."

"I..."

Zhou Yao tried hard to hold back the words she wanted to say, staring at Li Xuewu speechlessly.

Who was it that told her to train, and who was it that said people in the security department should be tough; now you say I'm fierce and can't find a partner!

You have to take full responsibility!

Li Xuewu wouldn't take responsibility; he was a man of the famous "three noes" principle.

After teasing Zhou Yao, he signaled to Sun Jian and walked back upstairs.

And Sun Jian stood at the door, patted Peng Xiaoli's shoulder with a smile, and asked: "Why do you always look at me with this kind of gaze?"

"Is that so? ~"

Peng Xiaoli couldn't help but scan Sun Jian with a traitor-doubting gaze again, still defending himself: "No~"

"Heh~"

Sun Jian nodded with amusement, patted his shoulder again, and said: "The lock on my office door has been changed; don't come again in the future; this time there is no evidence you want."

After speaking, regardless of the dumbfounded Peng Xiaoli and Gu Cheng, he followed Li Xuewu into the building and walked upstairs.

Peng Xiaoli was stunned, staring at Director Sun's disappearing back with wide eyes, full of disbelief.

And Gu Cheng clearly saw the clues, pulled him to the wall, pointed at him, and cursed: "You idiot!"

"What?"

Peng Xiaoli hadn't reacted yet, looking at Gu Cheng as if he had seen a ghost.

And Gu Cheng poked him, glared, and said angrily: "It was clearly Director Sun who deliberately let you go to his office!"

At this moment, he thought about how he was led by Peng Xiaoli nervously, like an idiot, not sleeping in the middle of the night to pry open Director Sun's office.

Then stealing the so-called evidence that was clearly prepared by Director Sun for them, and the two of them were still secretly happy to find Deputy Director Li to claim credit; it was truly shameful.

With this idiot look, he still kept saying he was deep behind enemy lines, wise and brave; damn it!

Gu Cheng now had no intention, and even less face, to find Li Xuewu to claim credit, and returned to the main office building with a feeling of having been screwed.

And when Peng Xiaoli returned upstairs in a daze, pushed open the leader's office door, he saw Director Sun reporting work to the leader.

Seeing him enter like a frost-bitten eggplant, that shameful expression made Li Xuewu and Sun Jian look at each other and smile.

Sun Jian extinguished the first cigarette he received from Li Xuewu in the ashtray, stood up with a smile, and said goodbye.

And walking to the door, looking at Peng Xiaoli's miserable look, he didn't mind nodding and smiling: "Quite cute."

Peng Xiaoli, who received this evaluation, was even more ashamed and couldn't show his face; he wished he could dismantle the floor in the leader's office and use his toes to dig another floor for the leader.

"What? Can't pull your head out of your pants?"

Li Xuewu looked at the approaching Peng Xiaoli with a smile, saw he was still in this state, nodded, and said: "Doing work, where is there no subjective cognitive error."

"But remember, young people can make mistakes, but they cannot be self-righteous."

Flipping through the documents in his hand, Li Xuewu exhorted very rarely: "You have stayed in the office for two more years and have certain work experience and tempering."

"However, doing secretarial work, you still have many things to learn and a long way to go."

"Yes, thank you for your teaching, leader."

Peng Xiaoli nodded to acknowledge his wrong cognition and also made a statement.

It was just that he couldn't help but complain in his heart: the long way he had to go was probably the routines of you old predecessors.

December 7th, it was originally a Sunday, but Li Xuewu still came to the factory according to Li Huai De's phone request.

Early in the morning, he originally wanted to sleep in before going to the club.

But who would have thought that Secretary Li Haiyang called to inform him that leaders from above were coming to handle yesterday's matter, and Director Li at the station asked him to go to the factory.

Li Xuewu had already told Secretary Li Haiyang on the phone that as long as Director Li agreed, he could take away those people in the detention room.

But Secretary Li Haiyang also suppressed his laughter and emphasized that Director Li specifically exhorted that he wouldn't rest, and Deputy Director Li shouldn't think about resting either.

Li Xuewu nearly cursed after hanging up the phone, but for the sake of his daughter Li Shu, he spared Li Huai De, that old guy.

Because when he was on the phone, Li Shu was leaning on the fence of her small bed, looking at him eagerly, her big eyes full of confusion.

Confusion about what?

It seemed to be asking him if this call was for her; she had woken up and could answer it.

Li Xuewu came to the factory full of complaints, saw Zhou Yao was also there, and took the initiative to ask the reason.

Zhou Yao spread her hands helplessly, saying that Secretary Li Haiyang had exhorted her yesterday not to go back until she finished handling the matter.

It seemed that Li Huai De also knew very well that these few people who came down from above were a hot potato.

It was not easy to hand them over, as his own face wouldn't be able to pass, and not handing them over wouldn't give face to those above.

If he didn't give these people a lesson, they would really think he, Li Huai De, was easy to bully.

So when Secretary Li Haiyang exhorted Zhou Yao, he emphasized that the cadres in the factory could be supplied with food normally, but those few from above shouldn't be given food or drink, in case something happened and it wouldn't be easy to explain.

Fine~ Zhou Yao naturally listened to those above.

That is to say, for almost 24 hours, those few hadn't had a drop of water or a grain of rice, and were still staying in the particularly stuffy detention room.

Secretary Li Haiyang saw that he had come, and specifically called him over to accompany Director Li to meet the leaders from above.

Li Xuewu refused directly; this wasn't a good thing, and he wouldn't get involved.

Now it was the leaders above who were in a difficult position; their subordinates had made a mistake and were detained by the factory below, so they came to admit their mistakes and soften their attitude to take people back.

It wasn't like they were here to issue big awards; Li Xuewu would be stupid to go and watch the leaders above lose face.

Li Huai De was capable now, deliberately acting aggrieved in front of those leaders; he, a small deputy director, couldn't withstand the attention of those big shots.

This matter, it was better to let the leaders above think Li Huai De was far-sighted and old-fashioned; if they knew there was such a wise man who was righteous and upright, wouldn't they be jealous to death.

Li Xuewu didn't want to touch this bad luck, and even less wanted to follow Li Huai De to show off.

Li Huai De was indeed proud this time; the leaders who came to take people back had a very low attitude and took the initiative to express their apologies to the steel mill.

Especially since this work group formed by the three of them on their own initiative had brought difficulties to the production and life of the steel mill.

When the leader of the team came to the security department with Li Huai De to take people back, in front of many people, he seriously criticized Feng Daozong and the others for not considering the overall situation and playing around.

Feng Daozong and the others had been hungry in the detention room for a day and a night; even if they wanted to argue, they didn't have the strength at this moment.

Especially in front of the leader, in front of the steel mill crowd, their old faces were completely lost.

He just didn't want to admit defeat, thinking that he wasn't convinced when he left the steel mill in a sorry state last time, and with Yang Yuansong's instigation, he really dared to break into the tiger's den again.

What he didn't expect was that there were real tigers in the tiger's den; yesterday he was almost put on the tiger's bench.

Looking at the listless appearance of the few, the team leader also had a headache, taking the initiative to say that he would definitely handle this matter seriously after going back.

Li Huai De didn't dare to hope how Feng Daozong and the others would be handled; who knew if this work group was acting on their own initiative or was being used as a scapegoat.

As he thought, if there hadn't been this counterattack, the steel mill would probably have changed dynasties.

Of course, the leaders had softened their attitude, so he had to say some nice words.

On one hand, he expressed understanding for the leaders' difficulties, and on the other hand, he was also blaming the security department for improper handling.

How could they arrest people just like that! It was truly nonsense!

He had already scanned several times and didn't find Li Xuewu's figure, knowing that this kid would definitely not show up.

Therefore, he criticized Xiao Zihong, who was presiding over the work at home, in his words.

What kind of ideological understanding was not in place, what kind of professional level needed to be improved, what kind of personal ability was relatively mediocre; anyway, it was all kinds of criticism.

Xiao Zihong was actually quite speechless; this was truly sitting at home, and the pot came from the sky.

He clearly hadn't done anything, and didn't even know about the arrests and the hunger of those few goods, but inexplicably carried a big black pot.

Thinking about it, it was also aggrieved; he hadn't been in the security department for a few months, count it, it hadn't been a hundred days, count how many black pots he had carried.

But no matter how he thought about it, this pot had to be carried by him, because Li Xuewu was away on business, Chu Yougong had made a mistake and couldn't hold it, and he was the only one left in the security group!

So Li Huai De reprimanded him, and he watched the leaders above reprimand those three unlucky eggs.

Feng Daozong, Deputy Director of the Production Planning Guidance Office of the Ministry of Industry.

Peng Yonghong, Deputy Director of the Office of the Ministry of Industry.

Jin Liangcai, Deputy Director of the Propaganda Division of the Office of the Ministry of Industry.

When these three left today, they had this identity when they took off the handcuffs, but it wouldn't be certain when they met again.
