Siheyuan: Happy life of veteran drivers

Chapter 436 Xu Damao flatters, Ye Tang is on trial

"Thank you Director Li for speaking up for me. If it weren't for your words..."

Li Huaide smiled from ear to ear: "Xiao Wang, you are too modest. This matter mainly depends on your own ability. Otherwise, I can't help you alone."

"Okay, let's not talk about this. After what happened today, I think Yang Weimin can no longer make a big splash. He will either be transferred or step down. In any case, he will definitely not be able to stay in the steel mill."

Wang Hongtao listened in silence. Li Huaide was right:

He had the audacity to contradict the secretary today, and he lost a lot of points.

As for his subordinates, he will have to make a self-criticism at the party and government conference next week, which will damage his prestige and cause his subordinates to change their allegiance.

Having suffered setbacks from both the upper and lower levels, Yang Weimin had no choice but to leave the steel mill.

And because he was contradicting the secretary, even if he was transferred, he could only be transferred to a low-paying government office, such as a retirement unit like the Meteorological Bureau or the Earthquake Bureau, or it was possible that he would only retain his rank but not his actual job.

"Then I would like to congratulate you in advance, Director Li, on officially taking charge of the steel rolling mill!" Wang Hongtao complimented.

"Hey, don't talk about it so early. Everything is subject to change before the official appointment comes down." Li Huaide couldn't hide the smile on his face.

"Besides, even if I become the factory director, isn't there still Secretary Nie above me?"

Wang Hongtao exaggerated: "Director Li, are you trying to trick me? Secretary Nie is in charge of the party and government. As long as there are no problems with the basic situation, he shouldn't take action. Like now, aren't the daily affairs handled by you, Director Li, and Director Yang?"

Li Huaide pointed at Wang Hongtao and said, "You are quite clever!"

"Hehe, it's all thanks to your guidance, Director Li!"

Li Huaide shook his head: "It's easy to find a driver, but it's hard to find a good driver!"

"For example, the person who replaced you, when he arrived, he even needed to be taught how to open a door for me. What kind of thing is that?"

Wang Hongtao chuckled and shook his head: Opening the door for the leader is not only a matter of appearance, but more importantly it can give a signal to the people present. Otherwise, it would be quite embarrassing if the leader got out of the car but the people who greeted him did not react at all.

……

After the greetings, Li Huaide got down to business again: "Well, after this incident, there will definitely be a major reshuffle in the steel mill, but that has little to do with you. You just need to do your job well."

"Although you have made great contributions this time, I cannot give you a promotion or anything like that. After all, it has only been a short time since your last promotion."

"And it's not convenient to spread your contribution this time. Do you understand?"

Hearing this, Wang Hongtao nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I understand. Besides, Director Li, your hello is the same as my hello, right? It's all the same, all the same!"

Li Huaide handed a cigarette to Wang Hongtao. Wang Hongtao diligently lit it for Li Huaide first, and then lit one for himself.

Li Huaide took a puff and raised the corner of his mouth: "I found that you are really my lucky star. Since I met you, a series of happy events have happened one after another!"

"Hehe, Director, thank you for the compliment. Isn't it because you train this locomotive so well?" Wang Hongtao said with a flattering smile.

Li Huaide nodded with satisfaction, patted Wang Hongtao on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, you won't suffer any loss."

"By the way, you need to change the method of making the medicine. Half of it should be provided as it is, and the dosage of the other half should be halved. Do you understand what I mean?"

"If I become the factory manager, I will need more connections and stuff, so I'm letting you know in advance."

Wang Hongtao nodded quickly: "I understand, I understand, it's just one pill becomes two, no problem! Even if it's halved, it's enough for most people."

"Okay, I like your cleverness!" Li Huaide was quite pleased:

"From now on, we will have the final say in this steel mill. You have to help me run it well!"

"Of course I will! Director Li, I will do whatever you say!" Wang Hongtao patted his chest and promised.

"Okay, I'm fine now, go and do your thing."

……

As soon as Wang Hongtao returned to the office, Xu Damao came over to him.

"Brother, what happened just now? Why was there such a big commotion? Are you okay?" Xu Damao asked nervously.

Wang Hongtao leaned back, put his feet on the drawer of his desk, and said calmly: "Isn't it obvious? Do I look like I have something wrong?"

Xu Damao immediately smiled and flattered: "How about we say that you are awesome, brother?"

"Such a big scene would have scared me to death, but you acted like nothing happened. You're amazing!"

"Haha, that's because I have a clean background and I'm not afraid of investigation." Wang Hongtao said indifferently.

"I see the heads of the Security Department and the Discipline Inspection Office are here. Have you been reported?" Xu Damao asked again.

Xu Damao was timid and couldn't see clearly because he was far away.

Wang Hongtao nodded: "Yes, remember Ye Tang who fought with me last time? I don't know if this guy can't stand losing or what, he actually went directly to the Discipline Inspection Office to file a complaint, and he filed a complaint with his real name."

"Now that it has been found out that it was all false, I have been sent to the security department. I will be punished at least for not dying!"

Xu Damao rolled his eyes and agreed: "That's right. Don't you see who you are, brother? You are in the same boat with the security department. Reporting you in the factory is just...hitting a wall, isn't it?"

After saying that, he looked at Wang Hongtao enviously, wishing he could be as awesome as him.

Not only do you not have to worry about being reported for doing bad things, you can also arrest the reporter.

Wang Hongtao smiled. This Xu Damao was really good at flattering people.

But it's a good thing this way, as it allows him to have a clearer understanding of his own energy.

He raised his hand to check the time and said, "Okay, let's go back after you've asked. I have something to do with Section Chief Liao, so I won't accompany you."

……

Security Department, interrogation room.

"Ye Tang! Do you have any objection to the charges of arbitrarily tracking and investigating meritorious officials of the military, deliberately framing young cadres of the steel mill, and attempting to hinder the development of the steel mill?"

Liao Youzhi started by putting a big hat on Ye Tang. As long as any one of these hats was put on, Ye Tang would be unable to turn over.

"I have objections! I am wrongly accusing you, Chief Liao!" Ye Tang couldn't wait to explain: "First of all, I didn't follow up with Wang Hongtao. I just casually asked the neighbors nearby to understand the situation. It can't be considered an investigation."

"As for the accusation that I made a false accusation, that is completely false. At most, it can be said that I was negligent in not investigating the matter thoroughly, which is a dereliction of duty!"

"Besides, I just wrote a letter of complaint. How can that be considered as hindering the development of the steel mill?"

"Snapped!"

Liao Youzhi slammed the table heavily: "Ye Tang!"

"You keep saying that you neglected to investigate and failed to do your job. May I ask what your job was? And on whose orders did you conduct the investigation?"

"You are just Director Yang's driver, a third-level driver. How can you have the authority to investigate our eighteenth-level cadres?"

"Also, what do you mean by just writing a letter of denunciation? From the moment you submit a letter of denunciation with your real name, you should be responsible for what you wrote, not to mention that the person you are reporting is Comrade Wang Hongtao, an outstanding young cadre of our factory and the deputy section chief of the Labor and Personnel Department."

"Although your actions did not cause substantial harm to Comrade Wang Hongtao, the negative impact of this incident cannot be erased. Is it wrong to say that you deliberately framed the young cadres of the steel mill and hindered the normal development of the steel mill?"

"What else do you have to say?"

"I…."

Ye Tang regretted his decision very much at this moment. Why did he have nothing better to do than to provoke Wang Hongtao?

Even if you want to provoke someone, you have to wait until the dust has settled and you are absolutely sure before you provoke him!

.....

"Chief, someone is looking for you!" A security guard came in to report.

"Who is looking for me at this critical moment?" Liao Youzhi frowned.

"It's Section Chief Wang Hongtao."

"Oh?"

Liao Youzhi's eyes lit up: "I'll go out right away..."

"No, please bring him in."
