Siheyuan: Start with a big car

After hearing what Li Weidong said, Director Chen was speechless.

Because things were just as Li Weidong guessed, Deputy Director Hu was a very upright person on weekdays.

But Director Chen heard that those things in the Logistics Department were always lost inexplicably.

It's just that no one has any evidence, and those who have benefited from it are unlikely to stand up and accuse Deputy Director Hu, so no one has exposed this matter over the years.

Seeing that both of the two candidates he proposed were rejected by Li Weidong

Director Chen was getting a little anxious at this time, and had to ask, "Commissioner Li, what exactly is your opinion?"

Li Weidong did not directly answer Director Chen's question. Instead, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Director Chen, then said with a smile: "Old Chen, I think you are quite suitable to be the factory director."

As soon as these words came out, Director Chen's face suddenly changed. He stood up from his chair as if he was stabbed by a needle and said, "Commissioner Li, please stop joking. How can I be suitable to be the factory director?

You don’t know that I don’t have a high level of education, and I am just a small workshop director, not even a factory leader, let alone a factory director.”

Li Weidong said with a smile: "Director Chen, you are a little self-deprecating. In fact, I have already investigated your situation clearly. Although you started from a low point and could only be an ordinary worker in a TV factory at the beginning, you have not relaxed your self-improvement over the years. Didn't you apply for university a few years ago?
Although it was a correspondence course, you were able to successfully obtain your diploma, which already shows your ability. Besides, you have worked hard in this factory for decades, and you dare to think and act. It would be a pity if someone like you did not become the factory director. "

After hearing this, Director Chen was still unwilling: "Commissioner Li, really, my ability is limited. There are many people in this factory who are better than me.

If you give the factory to me, I might be able to ruin it in no time.”

A big part of the reason why Director Chen was unwilling to serve as the factory director was that he felt that once he became the factory director, he would likely destroy the unity within the factory.

The matter is very simple. Now all the leaders in the factory are eyeing the position of factory director.

If the position was finally snatched away by him, a workshop director, those people would definitely not cooperate. Even if he became the factory director, he would not be able to manage the factory well.

Looking at Director Chen who looked embarrassed, Li Weidong asked him a question calmly: "Old Chen, are you willing to watch the factory being messed up by those people?"

Hearing this, Director Chen was speechless.

In fact, he knew the current situation of the TV factory better than anyone else. The TV factory should have become the largest TV factory in the country due to the popularity of its TVs.

The workers not only get high wages, but also receive benefits every month. However, because of those people's mess, the development of the TV factory has become worse and worse over the years.

Of course, it would be inappropriate to put all the blame on Director Liu.

After all, if it weren't for the instigation of those middle-level leaders, people like Director Liu would have been taken down long ago.

Seeing that he was speechless, Li Weidong continued, "If you don't become the factory director now, you are not considering the workers in the factory, let alone the families of the workers in the factory. You are considering your own reputation. You are worried that you can't gain a good reputation."

After these words were spoken, Director Chen felt like he had been kicked hard and his face turned red.

He was silent for a moment, then he sighed and said, "Commissioner Li, you are absolutely right. Now that I think about it carefully, I have indeed made a mistake.

But this matter is not just about me, it’s about my whole family, I need to go back and discuss it with my spouse.”

"It's okay, don't worry, I'll wait for your reply here."

Li Weidong knew that since Director Chen was of a relatively low rank, if he wanted to become the factory director, there would definitely be many people who would oppose him. So before that, he had to establish connections.

On the other hand, Director Chen told his wife about this matter after returning home. Not surprisingly, his wife objected at the time: "Old man, I know you are always concerned about the factory. But you also know what the situation is like in the factory now. You are old now and will retire soon. There is no need for you to go against those people."

After hearing his wife's words, Director Chen sighed and said, "I understand everything, but our TV factory has so many employees, many of whom were recruited by me personally. If I give up now, how will they live if the TV factory really closes in the future?"

Seeing this, his wife didn't know how to persuade him, but she still disagreed. Neither of them could convince the other, and at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Director Chen’s wife walked over and opened the door. Standing outside the door was Director Chen’s apprentice Xiao Liu.

"Xiao Liu, why are you here so late?"

Xiao Liu looked at Director Chen and said, "Master, I heard that you are going to be the factory director. Is that true?"

Director Chen asked his wife to pour a cup of tea for Xiao Liu, then nodded and said, "You are well-informed."

"Master, you don't know, but now it has spread all over our factory. Many people say that you became the factory leader because you flattered the new leader."

As soon as these words were spoken, Director Chen's face changed. He didn't expect that before he even agreed, someone was already causing trouble behind the scenes.

Xiao Liu continued, "Master, I came here to persuade you to become the factory director. You don't know, but those people have already said that if you become the factory director, they will resign and they will ask their superiors to investigate you."

Director Chen nodded and said, "Don't tell me, I didn't have any idea about being the leader of this factory before, but now I am actually a little interested."

The reason why Director Chen agreed to be the factory director was not because he had any interest in it, but because he was very clear that he was now under fire.

If you don't agree, it will be impossible to return to the workshop and become the workshop director.

He knew very well what those people were doing, and they would definitely not let him go just like that.

When Xiao Liu heard this, he nodded excitedly and said, "Master, don't worry, everyone in our workshop supports you."

Director Chen's wife could only sigh helplessly when she saw that she couldn't persuade him any more. She knew that even if she tried to persuade him again, it would be useless.

The next morning, Director Chen rode his bicycle to the TV factory. As soon as he arrived at the door of the TV factory, he ran into a leader from the logistics department.

The leader stopped Director Chen and asked with a smile, "Old Chen, I heard that you want to be the factory director. Is that true?"

Director Chen recognized him. He was Section Chief Xiong from the Logistics Department, who had a good relationship with Deputy Director Hu.

"Chief Xiong, this is indeed the case. Haven't I replied to Commissioner Li yet?"

When Chief Xiong heard this, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Director Chen: "Old Chen, it's not that I look down on you, you are just a small workshop director.

Even if you are the workshop director, it was our deputy director Hu who promoted you. In other words, you are not even a factory leader now, so how can you be the factory director? So I advise you to give up this opportunity.

Of course, we are old friends. If you give up this opportunity, we will not treat you unfairly.

Deputy Director Hu and Deputy Director Wu have just discussed that we will transfer you to our logistics department and let you serve as the section chief. What do you think? "

If Director Chen didn't know Chief Xiong's personality, he might have believed his lies by now.

"Chief Xiong, I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in the work of your logistics department. In fact, I'm ready to agree to Commissioner Li's request."

"Okay, Lao Chen, I advised you because of our good relationship, but I didn't expect you to be so ungrateful.

Don’t you know our interests?”

Section Chief Xiong's face turned pale at that moment, and he wanted to continue talking, but Director Chen no longer had the mood to talk to him, so he turned around and rode his bicycle into the TV factory.

Director Chen rode his bicycle to the door of Li Weidong's office, got off his bicycle, knocked on the door, and after hearing a response from inside, he pushed the door open and walked in.

Li Weidong was processing some documents. When he saw Director Chen come in, he smiled and asked, "Mr. Chen, how is it? Have you made up your mind?"

Director Chen nodded and said, "Commissioner Li, I can give you a clear answer now. I agree to serve as the director of our TV factory.

Don't worry, as long as I become the factory director, I will definitely find ways to improve the production efficiency of the TV factory and let the employees live a good life."

Li Weidong stood up and patted Director Chen on the shoulder: "Old Chen, I really didn't misjudge you.

People like you who dare to think and act are the future of the TV factory.

How about this, you go back and wait for a few days, I'll finish my work here."

"Thank you, Commissioner Li."

Director Chen also knew that it was not an easy task to appoint him as the director of the TV factory, so he went back to the workshop without saying anything more.

At this time, the news had already spread in the workshop, and everyone congratulated Director Chen.

"Director Chen, I never thought that you would suddenly become our factory director."

"That's right, you don't even look at who our Director Chen is.

Let me tell you this, Director Chen could be considered a veteran in our factory, but he was suppressed by Director Liu and his men, so he could only serve as a workshop director. "

"The matter has not been announced yet, and I think there may be changes. After all, you should also be aware of the methods used by Deputy Director Hu and his men. They will not stop here."

Hearing the discussions of the workshop workers, Director Chen knew very well that he should not panic at this time. He smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, everyone, stop chatting. We haven't completed our production task for this month. Everyone, please work harder and complete the task quickly."

The workers also knew this and stood up and continued to work.

At this moment, in Deputy Director Hu's office, Section Chief Xiong had already reported to Deputy Director Hu that Director Chen had agreed to be the factory director.

After hearing this, Deputy Factory Director Hu flew into a rage: "This damned old Chen, who does he think he is? He is just a small worker, and now he dares to be the factory director. Why doesn't he go to heaven?"

Section Chief Xiong whispered: "Director, now he has the support of Li Weidong, who is now in charge of our TV factory.

If he is determined to let Lao Chen be the factory director, there is nothing we can do to stop him."

"This Li Weidong is really a big trouble."

When mentioning Li Weidong, Deputy Director Hu became furious.

The reason was simple. He had shown his goodwill to Li Weidong several times before, hoping that Li Weidong could take care of him.

Especially after Director Liu was dismissed, he approached Li Weidong even more frantically and invited Li Weidong out for dinner several times, but Li Weidong refused every time.

At this time, Section Chief Xiong lowered his voice and said, "Director, this won't work. I think we should think of a way to get rid of Li Weidong. No matter how capable he is, and no matter how much support he gets from above, he is just one person. As long as we can get rid of him, I believe the superiors won't say anything."

Deputy Factory Director Hu quickly interrupted him: "What nonsense are you talking about?

Kill Li Weidong?
You can come up with such a crooked idea. I'm telling you, I've inquired about it. Li Weidong is not just a famous person in Beijing. This guy has a deep foundation.

Didn’t you see that a person like Director Liu, when faced with Li Weidong, had no power to fight back at all and was defeated?

Let alone taking action, even if we just spread the word, I believe we will all be finished in no time."

When Section Chief Xiong heard about Li Weidong's background, he changed his mind immediately: "Director, since we can't deal with Li Weidong, I think we can deal with Director Chen."

"That's a good idea, but if we want to deal with Director Chen, we can't just randomly find a few people to beat him up. That would easily attract other people's attention."

Hearing what Deputy Factory Director Hu said, Section Chief Xiong's eyes lit up, and he continued, "This matter is very simple. Since we can't do anything, then we can definitely cause trouble for him.

I believe that Director Chen must have done something illegal over the years.

As long as we find a way to get evidence of his violation and submit it, I believe that even if Li Weidong wants to protect him, it will be impossible. "

Deputy Factory Director Hu's eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "Chief Xiong, how could I say that I have been using you for so many years? And you have the most flexible brain.

Well, I'll leave this matter to you.

But you must remember that we must have real evidence this time, otherwise, Director Chen will easily turn the tables with Li Weidong's support."
