Lu Qingshan pushed open the heavy wooden door of the conference room.

A strong smell of smoke hit me.

On both sides of the long conference table sat heads of various departments, each with a stern face, puffing out cigarette smoke.

The atmosphere inside the house was colder than the snowy weather outside.

The moment Lu Qingshan entered, the quiet conversation abruptly ceased.

A dozen pairs of eyes turned to them simultaneously, some with curiosity, some with schadenfreude, and some with worry.

Li Aiguo sat in the main seat, tapping his fingers on the table, his expression unreadable.

Below him, Li Jianye was holding an enamel mug, slowly blowing on the steam rising from it.

When he saw Lu Qingshan, he raised an eyebrow and a fleeting, cold smile appeared.

Zhou Baoguang nervously gave Lu Qingshan a meaningful look, signaling him to find a corner to sit down.

Lu Qingshan seemed not to see it, walked straight to the sign for the Transportation Planning Department, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

His back was ramrod straight.

Li Aiguo raised his eyelids, glanced around the room, and stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray.

"Meeting."

Those two simple words made the temperature in the room drop even further.

"Everyone is aware of the difficulties our forest farm faced in transporting timber some time ago."

"With the concerted efforts of the Technical Department and the newly established Transportation Planning Department, the ice-slipper material transport method has been a great success, giving us a good start to our work in the spring."

Li Aiguo first raised his head, his gaze swept over Zhou Baoguang, and then lingered on Lu Qingshan for a second.

"Our forest farm never hesitates to praise those who have made contributions."

He abruptly changed the subject, his voice becoming somber.

"but!"

"We are a state-owned forest farm. Our cadres must not only be capable of their work, but also have impeccable moral character!"

"Some cadres, relying on their abilities, have made mistakes in their personal conduct!"

"I'll be right back..."

Before Li Aiguo could get over this matter.

Li Jianye slammed the enamel mug he was holding onto the table with a loud "bang".

He coughed, stood up, and adjusted his belt.

"Manager, comrades!"

"That's exactly what I wanted to talk about!"

Farm manager Li Aiguo's heart skipped a beat.

He was a seasoned veteran; as soon as he heard Li Jianye's tone, he knew that Li Jianye was not willing to let Lu Qingshan off easily.

Lu Qingshan is a key member of the forest farm and has just been commended for his meritorious service.

If any misconduct issues were exposed at this time, not only would Lu Qingshan's future be ruined.

He, as the station chief, also lost face, which may even affect the forest farm's performance evaluation this year.

Li Aiguo lifted his eyelids and gestured for Li Jianye to lower his hand:

"Comrade Jianye, please sit down first, don't get agitated."

"The organization has always attached great importance to the conduct of its cadres."

"However, the theme of today's meeting is to summarize the production work in the previous stage. I will investigate and clarify some specific feedback from individual colleagues later."

These words, ostensibly about the rules, were actually a way of offering Li Jianye a way out.

However, Li Jianye came prepared today and was not about to let go of this opportunity to strike a fatal blow.

In private, Lu Qingshan was recruited by Li Aiguo.

In the end, big problems will be minimized, and small problems will be ignored. In the end, Lu Qingshan might not be a problem at all.

Li Jianye didn't sit back down; instead, he straightened his back even more.

A smile, seemingly respectful but actually laced with sarcasm, appeared on his face:

"Director, I fully understand your instructions. You're doing this out of concern for your cadres, wanting to give those who have made mistakes a buffer and space to reflect, which reflects the organization's compassion. But—"

Li Jianye paused, glanced around the room, and sighed with deep sorrow:

"As the saying goes, to cure the disease and save lives, one must nip it in the bud."

"If we cover up or conceal certain matters of principle, it will not only fail to serve as a warning, but it will also easily lead to misunderstandings among the staff and the public. In the long run, this will shake the foundation of our forest farm!"

He turned his head, his gaze fixed on Lu Qingshan, his tone becoming increasingly "selfless":

"Comrade Qingshan is a backbone of our forest farm. Precisely because he is outstanding, we must hold him to high standards and strict requirements."

"Today's meeting to discuss the issues openly serves as a preventative measure for the cadres, and also gives Comrade Qingshan an opportunity to confess to the organization and clear up any misunderstandings."

"Director, I'm doing this for the sake of a clean and upright atmosphere in our forest farm, and to be responsible to the organization and to Comrade Qingshan personally!"

These words elevated "personal grudges" to "for the sake of the organization and the masses," and packaged "kicking someone when they're down" as "curing the disease and saving lives," making them seem righteous and directly shutting down Li Aiguo's words.

The atmosphere in the venue instantly plummeted to freezing point.

All eyes turned to Lu Qingshan, who had remained silent throughout.

Li Jianye's face was righteous and stern, his gaze like a knife, shooting straight at Lu Qingshan.

"Lu Qingshan, the deputy head of the Transportation Planning Section, had an unprovoked conflict with Zhao Erhu, a villager from Hongshitun, just the day before yesterday!"

"Using his physical strength, he abused his power, severely injuring Zhao Erhu and crippling him completely in both legs!"

"Zhao Erhu has been taken away by the county public security bureau, while Lu Qingshan is still sitting here unharmed!"

He slammed his hand on the table, his voice suddenly rising in pitch.

"This incident has already had an extremely negative impact on the surrounding villages and hamlets!"

"What do people outside say about us? They say the cadres of our Hongshi Forest Farm are mountain bandits! They say we can beat people up at will!"

"Our forest farm is a state-owned enterprise! The faces of our cadres reflect the faces of the forest farm!"

"Comrade Lu Qingshan's actions have severely damaged the reputation of our forest farm and tarnished the image of all our cadres!"

"I suggest that Comrade Lu Qingshan be immediately suspended from all his duties as deputy head of the Transportation Planning Section, and that an investigation team be established to deal with him seriously!"

His words were passionate and resounding.

A murmur rippled through the conference room.

"Has this gotten this big?"

"Breaking someone's leg... that's no small matter."

"I knew it! A kid like him climbing so fast, he was bound to get into trouble sooner or later."

Zhou Baoguang was so anxious that his face turned red. He was just about to get up and say a few words in defense of Lu Qingshan.

Li Aiguo, sitting in the main seat, gave him a disapproving look.

Zhou Baoguang opened his mouth, but could only sit back down unwillingly, his fists clenched tightly under the table.

All eyes were once again focused on Li Aiguo.

They all wanted to see how this old factory manager, who cherished talent above all else, would deal with this "favorite" he had personally promoted.

Li Aiguo finally lifted his gaze from the document and slowly placed it on Lu Qingshan.

There wasn't a trace of emotion in his voice.

"Lu Qingshan".
