Chapter 1164 Zhong Yuemin Wants to Become a Workshop Director
After the Lanhua bicycle project was launched, the Lanhua Automobile Factory faced a problem: the original workshop was no longer sufficient. If they wanted to produce electric bicycles, they needed to expand the workshop.

Under the command of Wang Weidong, the Orchid Automobile Factory expanded another ten workshops.

The news spread quickly in Beijing, just like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing a thousand waves. Young people in Beijing were shocked. After all, the expansion of the workshop meant a large number of jobs would emerge. The Lanhua Automobile Factory was well-known throughout the country, with generous wages and benefits that were enviable.

For ordinary young people, being able to become a worker at the Lanhua Automobile Factory is simply a dream come true. It means a stable income, good benefits, and a rich life for themselves and their families. Therefore, everyone is gearing up to seize this rare opportunity.

However, among these people with dreams, some of them have different ideas. They set their sights on higher positions, such as workshop director or even factory leader. In their eyes, these positions not only mean power and status, but also a stage for them to show their abilities and background.

Among them, Zhong Yuemin is such a complicated child from a big courtyard. The reason why he showed a strong interest in the position of director of the electric bicycle workshop of the Orchid Automobile Factory was not just for a job or a so-called career. Deep in his heart, he has always had a plan, which is to use this position as a springboard to successfully enter the Orchid Automobile Factory. His real purpose is to settle accounts with Wang Weidong and avenge Zhou Xiaobai's being robbed. In Zhong Yuemin's view, Wang Weidong took away his beloved woman, which he could not tolerate no matter what. He wanted Wang Weidong to pay the price, even if he had to use all means.

Although Zhong Yuemin himself lacks some abilities, his father, a big shot,
He quickly found a very influential leader to intercede for Wang Weidong. This leader and Wang Weidong have been friends for many years and their friendship is very close, so Wang Weidong had to give him some face.

However, Wang Weidong was not the kind of person who was easily swayed by favors. He did not directly agree to let Zhong Yuemin take the position of workshop director, but put forward a condition. He decided to let Zhong Yuemin participate in the interview organized by Fang Mu, in this way to examine whether Zhong Yuemin really had the ability and quality to be a workshop director. In Wang Weidong's view, this important position of workshop director is related to the smooth progress of the entire electric bicycle production project, and it must not be decided hastily.

After hearing the news, Zhong Yuemin was very proud. His inherent sense of superiority as a child of a rich family was exposed at this moment. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a confident and somewhat frivolous smile. He said nonchalantly: "Huh, it's just a workshop director. Who am I? I'm a child of a rich family. This position is a piece of cake for me." He seemed to have completely ignored this interview. In his mind, his identity and background were the best passes. As for any ability assessment, it was just a formality. He had already begun to imagine how he would look like after becoming a workshop director, but he didn't realize that this interview might not be as simple as he imagined.

Three hours later, the door of the conference room was flung open, and Zhong Yuemin walked out angrily. His face was red, his eyes were as big as copper bells, veins on his forehead bulged, and he looked furious.

He walked straight up to Fang Mu, stretched out his finger, almost poking Fang Mu's nose, and cursed: "Fang Mu, you are an ignorant fellow! Are you targeting me on purpose? Do you think you are great? Humph, don't think you can show off here, do you know who I am?"

Fang Mu frowned slightly, looked at Zhong Yuemin calmly, and responded neither servilely nor arrogantly: "Zhong Yuemin, I am only conducting this assessment according to the factory's interview regulations. I have no intention of targeting you. Everyone who applies for the position of workshop director must go through the same process."

Zhong Yuemin became even more angry when he heard this. He raised his head with a look of disdain on his face: "Regulations? What regulations? Don't use those things to pressure me! I am a child of a large courtyard. I am already giving you face by condescending to participate in this interview. But you ask those inexplicable questions and find faults in every detail. You are just looking down on me!"

Fang Mu remained calm. He looked Zhong Yuemin straight in the eye and said slowly, "Zhong Yuemin, this interview is to select the most suitable workshop director. We need to examine professional knowledge, management ability, adaptability and other aspects. The questions I asked were all centered around these contents, and I didn't deliberately embarrass you. Moreover, during the interview, you gave ambiguous answers to many basic production management questions, and you were even unclear about some simple technical principles. How can we believe that you are capable of taking on this important position?"

Zhong Yuemin snorted coldly, his face full of arrogance: "Huh, professional knowledge? Do I need to know that stuff? I have my own connections, my own resources, and my own ways to manage the workshop. You nerds only know how to dig up useless knowledge, but when it comes to actual operations, you still have to rely on people like me. You are just jealous of me and my background, and you deliberately don't want me to pass this interview."

Fang Mu shook his head helplessly: "Zhong Yuemin, your idea is completely wrong. The workshop director needs to be responsible for the production process and personnel management of the entire workshop. Without solid professional knowledge and management ability, it is impossible to ensure the normal operation of the workshop by relying solely on connections and resources. We are considering the development of the factory, not targeting you personally."

Zhong Yuemin was so angry that he felt that Fang Mu was targeting him and refused to listen to any explanation. He was like a mad bull, making a lot of noise. The sound echoed in the whole corridor and attracted many people's attention.

The security officers rushed over after hearing the noise. Seeing Zhong Yuemin's tantrum, they were about to step forward to stop him, but after asking others, they learned of Zhong Yuemin's identity. Hearing that he was a child of a large compound and that there seemed to be a lot of power behind him, the security officers couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive. They stood aside, looking at each other, not knowing what to do, and just watched Zhong Yuemin vigilantly to prevent him from doing anything more radical.

Section Chief Liu Changyi also arrived at the scene soon. After understanding the whole story, he knew that he could not act rashly, so he decided to report the situation to Wang Weidong in person. He hurried to Wang Weidong's office and told him in detail about Zhong Yuemin's disturbance at the interview site, including Zhong Yuemin's identity and the security officer's fear.

Wang Weidong frowned slightly after hearing this. After thinking for a moment, he said to Liu Changyi in a firm tone: "Liu Changyi, no matter who he is, he can't run wild in our factory. We have factory regulations, and everything should be handled according to the regulations. We can't make special arrangements just because of his special identity, otherwise how can we manage him in the future?"

Liu Changyi listened to Wang Weidong's instructions and felt relieved. He immediately took the order and left.
On the other hand, the situation has escalated.

In this tense atmosphere, Zhong Yuemin's anger had completely overwhelmed his rationality. His eyes were red, like a mad beast, he could no longer hold back his anger, and he raised his fist and hit Fang Mu's face hard.

Fang Mu had never expected Zhong Yuemin to suddenly attack, but he was not someone to be easily bullied. Although he was usually a person who focused on research, he was actually a martial artist who was hiding his true strength. At the moment when Zhong Yuemin's fist was about to hit him, Fang Mu, relying on his years of agility, slightly tilted his head and easily dodged the fierce blow. This shocked Zhong Yuemin, as he did not expect Fang Mu to be able to dodge. Before he could react, Fang Mu had already launched a counterattack. Fang Mu first moved sideways to the side of Zhong Yuemin, and then with lightning speed, his right fist blasted towards Zhong Yuemin's abdomen like a cannonball. This punch contained full power, with the sound of breaking through the air, and hit Zhong Yuemin hard.

Zhong Yuemin suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, as if there was a fire burning in his stomach. He screamed "Ah" and his body involuntarily bent backwards. But he was a man of courage after all, so he endured the pain and tried to pounce on Fang Mu again.

Fang Mu would not give him a chance, and immediately followed with a sweeping kick, with a clean and neat movement. Zhong Yuemin tripped, lost his balance, and fell to the ground with a "thump". This fall made him dizzy and he could not get up for a long time, his eyes were full of astonishment and unwillingness, he never thought that he would suffer such a big loss at the hands of this seemingly weak Fang Mu.

At this chaotic moment, Liu Changyi and a group of security officers rushed to the scene. When Zhong Yuemin saw them coming, he immediately became alert. He held his stomach, with a painful and aggrieved expression on his face, and pointed at Fang Mu and shouted: "Chief Liu, you are finally here! It was this Fang Mu who beat me for no reason. Look at how he beat me, ouch..."

Liu Changyi frowned and looked at Fang Mu with a questioning look in his eyes. Fang Mu angrily retorted: "Zhong Yuemin, you are slandering me! It was obviously you who hit me first. I was acting in self-defense. Everyone present can testify to this!"

Zhong Yuemin refused to give in. He got up from the ground, rubbed his stomach and said viciously: "Hmph, testify? Who will testify for you? I tell you, Fang Mu, you will suffer today. Chief Liu, why are you still standing there? Arrest him quickly! This violent element should be sent to jail for life, so that he can taste the consequences of offending me!" His eyes were full of complacency and arrogance, as if he had seen the scene of Fang Mu being arrested, completely ignoring the fact that he was the one who was causing the trouble.

Liu Changyi had dealt with many difficult matters in the factory and was very experienced. How could he be deceived by Zhong Yuemin's clumsy lies? His face darkened, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and he waved his hand without hesitation. The security officers understood and immediately walked towards Zhong Yuemin.

Zhong Yuemin was shocked when he saw this. His eyes widened in disbelief. In his mind, his identity was like a golden ticket to immunity from death. No matter where he went, as long as he showed this "trump card", others would give him three points of courtesy. He never thought that Liu Changyi would dare to attack him.

"How dare you! I'm from a big compound. If you dare to touch me, you'll be in trouble! Liu Changyi, you will pay a heavy price for your actions today. Just wait!" Zhong Yuemin struggled and roared at the top of his lungs. Veins bulged on his neck and his eyes were filled with anger and threats.

However, Liu Changyi acted as if he had not heard his words, his expression remained stern and he did not waver in the slightest. He knew that fairness and order must be maintained in the factory. If he was given a break just because of Zhong Yuemin's special status, then the factory's rules would become a mere decoration and would no longer convince the public.

Liu Changyi and his men escorted Zhong Yuemin to the security department. A serious atmosphere permeated the dim room. When Zhong Yuemin was first pushed in, he pretended to be calm, but as the oppression of the surrounding environment became stronger and stronger, the fear in his heart began to spread like a tide.

The arrogance in his eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by panic and uneasiness. He knew that he was really in big trouble this time. His trembling lips opened and closed, he hesitated several times, and finally couldn't help but beg for mercy from Liu Changyi.

"Chief Liu, Chief Liu, I... I was wrong. I was confused just now. Please forgive me this time." Zhong Yuemin's voice was tinged with tears, and his previous arrogance was completely gone.

Liu Changyi looked at him expressionlessly, without any mercy in his eyes. He said seriously: "Zhong Yuemin, are you scared now? It's too late! You made a lot of noise in the factory and even beat people up, which seriously violated the factory regulations. These regulations are not a joke, and everyone must be responsible for their own actions."

When Zhong Yuemin heard this, his face turned even paler and he hurriedly said, "Chief Liu, I really know I was wrong, and I promise I will never do it again. Please let me go, I will even kowtow to you!" As he said this, he pretended to kneel down.

Liu Changyi stopped him and said firmly, "Don't try that. We in the security department have our responsibilities. Since you have violated the rules, you must accept the punishment. According to the rules, you will be locked up here for half a month and reflect on yourself. During this period, don't try to play any tricks."

Zhong Yuemin was struck by lightning when he heard this, and his whole body went limp. He knew that he could not escape this time, and could only spend this difficult half month in the security department.

This is also the reason why Yan Jiecheng can stay safely in the compound.

Of course, this is all a story for later.

At this time, the residents in the courtyard also learned that the Orchid Automobile Factory had added several workshops and started recruiting workers.
