Chapter 365 The dust has settled, and everyone reacts
The conflict between Li Huaide and Yang Weimin is irreconcilable, which means that their fight will only intensify until one of them completely withdraws from the steel mill.
As a staunch supporter of Li Huaide, it was inevitable that Wang Hongtao would be squeezed out by Yang Weimin. This was the case when he was Li Huaide's personal driver, not to mention that he is now the deputy section chief of the Labor and Personnel Section, an important position that originally belonged to Yang Weimin.
So he didn't find it surprising at all that Yang Weimin would be angry with himself next.
Moreover, Wang Hongtao has been enjoying the protection and benefits brought by Li Huaide, so he has no reason to complain about being involved in the fight between the two camps.
Now the only thing Wang Hongtao has to do is to stick to his own camp and work with Li Huaide to overthrow Yang Weimin and secure his control of the steel rolling mill.
Li Huaide was not surprised at all after hearing what Wang Hongtao said: "But you don't have to worry too much. Secretary Nie is basically neutral now, and the logistics and security of the factory are in my hands. Even if Lao Yang wants to target you, he can't do much."
"Hehe, that's right. With Director Li protecting me, what do I have to be afraid of?"
"Deputy chief of the Labor and Personnel Department? I get excited just thinking about it!" Wang Hongtao acted like a villain who had succeeded in his career.
"You brat!" Li Huaide scolded with a smile: "This weekend I will invite Director Hu from the logistics department, Lao Liao from the security department, and a few other old friends to have a meal together. You can come too."
"Don't forget to bring your, um... stomach medicine!"
"Don't worry, Director Li. I'll get it for you after get off work and give it to you tomorrow morning!"
……
Around 3 p.m., the factory bulletin board posted a notice of Wang Hongtao's appointment, and the Propaganda Department also announced the appointment before leaving get off work:
"Comrade Wang Hongtao, former head of the second group of the Transportation Department,
"He is down-to-earth and has a positive attitude. He is diligent and enterprising in his daily work. In his spare time, he never forgets to study hard and improve himself. He is good at using his brain to continuously improve his policy theory and professional level."
"This comrade is upright, has good conduct, has a good mass base, and has strong organizational skills..."
"After discussion, the factory committee and factory leaders unanimously decided to promote Comrade Wang Hongtao to the 18th level cadre and to serve as the deputy section chief of the Labor and Capital Section."
……
"Bang!"
When Yang Weimin heard the broadcast, he swept the cup on the table to the ground.
His secretary stayed for a while, waiting for the broadcast to stop and Yang Weimin's anger to calm down a little before getting up to clean up.
After a while, a middle-aged man with a bald head ran in in a panic: "Director Yang, what happened? I was working well in the Labor and Personnel Department, why did you suddenly transfer me to the Archives Office?"
The person who came was none other than Yang Weimin's staunch supporter, Huang Yishan, the former deputy chief of the Labor and Personnel Section.
One is the Labor and Wages Department, which is half a level higher than the official in charge; the other is the Archives Room of a retirement sanctuary, where except for the section chief, all other people are deputy section chiefs. You can tell whether it is praise or criticism at a glance.
……
Seven workshops.
When Liu Haizhong heard the broadcast, he almost hit himself on the hand with a hammer.
Is this Boss Wang coming back?
Some time ago, Liu Haizhong was still hoping for the best, thinking that as long as Boss Wang didn't come back, Director Li would sooner or later give up the Wang family. Without Director Li's support, wouldn't Wang Hongbin and Qin Jingru, who were left in the family, be at his mercy?
But with Wang Hongtao's return, let alone taking control of the Wang family, it would be a good thing if people would not continue to pursue me!
He straightened his slightly deformed back with his bangs, touched the salary in his pocket that was not yet warm, and shed tears of emotion.
.....
In the cafeteria, Sha Zhu had just packed his lunch box and was about to take it home to wait for Sister Qin to come, when he suddenly heard this broadcast. Suddenly, he felt that the lunch box in his hand was not delicious anymore and sat back on the stool dejectedly.
He muttered to himself: Alas, if I have Yu, why do I need Liang?
……
In the office, Wang Hongtao made a cup of tea and sipped it.
If nothing unexpected happens, my place will soon be bustling with activity.
"You're so good, Old Wang. You disappeared for half a year, and you made such a big fuss when you came back. Are you still a human being?"
Xu Damao rushed in, then slapped Wang Hongtao on the shoulder with an excited expression.
"Fuck, I was wondering who was so arrogant, it turns out to be you, you bastard, how come you welcome me like this after not seeing me for a few months? You even spilled my tea!"
After a long absence, Wang Hongtao couldn't help but smile when he saw Xu Damao again. He put the teacup on the table and threw him a cigarette: "How are you, Brother Damao? How are you doing recently?"
Seeing Wang Hongtao again, Xu Damao didn't feel strange at all. He took Wang Hongtao's cigarette, lit it, and sat on the stool casually: "It's still the same as before, going to the countryside from time to time to show movies or something. About a month after you left, Ezi's family came back, and then she went back to her parents' home when I went to the countryside. If there was no food at home, she would go back home to get it. We managed to get by."
"Tell me about yourself. What have you been doing these past few months? How come you got a promotion right after you came back?"
Wang Hongtao frowned and said, "Don't you know this?"
"Fuck!" Xu Damao gave Wang Hongtao an internationally accepted hand gesture and said unhappily, "If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. If you don't want to tell me, I won't be happy to hear it!"
"By the way, brother, not long after you left, Qin Huairu's cousin moved in with you. Hey, you're already a section chief, you're not still thinking about marrying her, are you?"
"Although Qin Jingru is pretty, she is still a country girl. I don't think she is worthy of you."
Wang Hongtao rolled his eyes at him and said, "I don't care what you think, I care what I think."
"A country girl? What's wrong with being from the countryside? Am I not from the countryside myself? Let me tell you, Xu Damao, don't look down on people from the countryside!"
Xu Damao waved his hand and explained: "Brother, you misunderstood. That's not what I meant. I meant that with your conditions, you can pick any girl in the city. Wouldn't it be better to marry her who has a job and a city hukou?"
"If you marry Jingru, won't your children in the future also..."
"right?"
Wang Hongtao smiled meaningfully: "Brother Damao, your brain is a little slow. What do I do, brother? Think about it again."
“I…”
"Okay, I overthink it." Xu Damao slapped his forehead and suddenly realized that he was the second in command of the Labor and Personnel Department. Shouldn't it be easy to arrange a job for him?
Besides, with the relationship between Lao Wang and Director Li, even if Qin Jingru doesn't want to work in the steel mill, it won't be a problem for her to find other jobs.
"That's right. Marrying a wife is for living together, and the most important thing is to live comfortably together!" Wang Hongtao said with a hearty smile.
It's not impossible for him to find a good one with his conditions. Director Li had asked him several times before if he could help find someone with a good family background. Even She Lijuan had asked him, saying that she had some pretty cousins and asked if he wanted to develop some relationships with them.
But they were all rejected by Wang Hongtao.
Firstly, Wang Hongtao knew the trend of the next few years and decades, and he didn't want to climb too high and stand out. He thought it would be fine to stay at home as a worker or a small cadre.
Another reason was that he didn't want to be restricted. If he married the daughter of a high-ranking official's family, most of the women Wang Hongtao had outside would be cut off, not to mention other things. This was something he could not accept in any way.
He never thought of seeking anything through marriage. What he wanted most was a decent woman who knew her limits, was sensible, could tolerate his philandering, and could keep the household in order.
Not long after Xu Damao sat down, his younger brother Abin and his apprentice Liao Xiaolong also came over after hearing the news.
"elder brother!"
"master!"
"You're back!"
