The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 36 Confused
Li Huaide drank a glass of wine slowly, then shook his head slowly: "You still have a little fantasy. I have been fighting with you for several years. You know what I think."

"You want me in this position."

"That's right." Li Huaide nodded vigorously: "You just came here a few years earlier than me. I am better than you in terms of ability. Why can't I be the factory director?"

Li Huaide poured himself a drink and said, "With this achievement, I can get what I want. Why should I let you have a share of it?"

"Although you can get what you want, it doesn't mean I can't cause you some trouble." Director Yang said tit for tat: "If you let me share some of the credit this time, I can save face and apply for transfer myself."

Li Huaide didn't say anything. He glanced at Director Yang and secretly calculated in his heart that this old Yang also had someone behind him. Although he should be 90% sure to win this time, it didn't mean that he couldn't put sabotage on his side.

If Mr. Yang is really willing to give in voluntarily, it would save him a lot of trouble, and it is not impossible for him to share some of the credit.

Li Huaide didn't show anything on his face. Director Yang gritted his teeth and said, "I admit defeat. This is already a big concession. I'm just sharing a little bit of the credit. You won't lose anything."

"How do I know you're not playing tricks on me?" Li Huaide decided to add insurance: "Besides, just because you give up doesn't mean the people behind you will give up."

Director Yang shook his head: "Then I can't guarantee that. I can only guarantee that you can keep your position as the director. It's just like when I was the director. You were also trying to sabotage me from behind."

"As long as you can ensure that you have sufficient achievements, you can keep this position. However, if the steel mill continues to do well, there will definitely be others who will be jealous and want to gild themselves or take advantage of the situation. This is inevitable."

"That's true." Li Huaide nodded: "From now on, I can only rely on my own abilities. In this case, I want more benefits."

Director Yang said very bluntly: "Okay, but I have to prove it in advance. If your price is too high, I can't agree to it. I have fallen to this point now and my ability is limited."

"I'm not asking for it myself." Li Huaide said with a smile: "If the kowtow machine project is successful, the first credit should go to Liu Hua. Although he is a new employee, he must be rewarded for his merits. I was originally going to pay for it myself, but now you have to pay for it."

"What kind of reward is that?"

"Let's not talk about the organization's reward, 500 yuan in cash, and all the necessary bills." Li Huaide asked directly: "In addition, his rank can be raised to at least three levels. If he can't be raised to three levels, find a way to give him an administrative rank, deputy section chief."

Director Yang agreed immediately: "No problem, these requests are not excessive, but you are willing to spend."

Li Huaide said proudly: "This is the difference between you and me. When I first arrived at the steel mill, you were so powerful and your words were law. I could only manage procurement and the canteen."

Li Huaide smiled and said, "But why did I gradually gain control of the situation? It's because I was willing to give up. Only by giving up can you gain. I will reward anyone who follows me and makes contributions."

Li Huaide pointed at Director Yang and said, "And you, it's as if everything is taken for granted. When the organization gives you rewards, you just give them a verbal compliment. There are many contributions, and they have worked very hard to achieve them, so how aggrieved they must be to follow you."

Director Yang said sarcastically, "How can I compete with you? How much profit have you made by manipulating logistics?"

"Don't laugh at the second oldest. I've made a lot of money, and you've made a lot too." Li Huaide said bluntly, "You've made a lot of money for yourself over the years, and you've been nepotistic, especially your nephew."

Li Huaide shook his head. "He's just a poor high school student. He has a greasy face and no ability. What else can he do in the factory except teasing cats and dogs? Why is he a cadre as soon as he comes in?"

Director Yang couldn't answer this question, and Li Huaide didn't continue talking. Instead, he raised his glass and said, "Okay, it has come to this point. There is no point in saying anything more. Let's drink. I wish us a success in this project." Today, the two of them were frank with each other, and when the glasses clinked, everything was in the wine.

Inside the courtyard, Sha Zhu came out of Liu Hua's house, and Yi Zhonghai winked at him, telling him to go back quickly.

Not long after Sha Zhu returned home, Yi Zhonghai came in. He looked back to see if anyone was eavesdropping, and then closed the door.

"How is it? Did Liu Hua tell him why he and Li Huaide were working overtime?"

Sha Zhu smiled and said, "Nothing, just a test of a new product."

"Hasn't Director Yang always been in charge of production?"

"That's not what he said, but he seems to look down on Director Yang."

Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but murmur: "He looks down on Director Yang and hooks up with Li Huaide. This guy is not a good person."

Sha Zhu also nodded in agreement: "Li Huaide is not a good person. He messes around in the factory and eats and drinks all day long."

Yi Zhonghai didn't care what Sha Zhu said. Director Yang had always been very caring towards him, probably because of the deaf old lady's face. Although he didn't know what the relationship between the two was, he took it for granted that he and Director Yang were family members, and family members should protect each other.

"You should be smart these two days and find out secretly." Yi Zhonghai ordered: "Don't let them harm Director Yang."

Of course Sha Zhu nodded in agreement. He had been taking leftovers from the factory all along, and it was Director Yang who agreed to it. He was returning the favor, so of course he didn't want Director Yang to suffer.

The night passed peacefully and uneventfully.

The next day at work, Yi Zhonghai found another opportunity and sneaked into the office.

"Director Yang, Li Huaide and Liu Hua from the Equipment Department worked overtime yesterday. They said they wanted to experiment with some new products. You have to be on guard."

Director Yang was confused. You are just a worker, even though you are a senior technician, but what does the factory's new product experiments have to do with you? You still make me be on guard.

I gave in yesterday. If anyone needs to be on guard, they should be on guard against me. What are you doing jumping out?

"Comrade Yi Zhonghai, it should be working hours now. You are not working in the workshop. Why are you coming to my office to report to me?"

Yi Zhonghai was also confused. I am thinking about you, so why don’t you appreciate my kindness?

Yi Zhonghai emphasized: "Director Yang, this Li Huaide is not a good person."

"Comrade Yi Zhonghai," Director Yang said unhappily, "If you have any opinions about Comrade Li Huaide, please speak up in person and don't say bad things about him behind his back."
